by Burns.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l2.-Atter an
hour and a half OF wrangling the
House Judiciary Committee voted to-
day in executive session to proceed
with the hearing OF impeachment
charges brought against Attorney
General Daugherty by Representative
Keller, Republican, Minnesota, in the
manner insisted on by Mr.. Keller.
What we want TO know at the
start" declared former Congressman
Paul Howland of Cleveland, repre-
senting Daugherty, 'is who is behind
Representative Keller in this i'm
peachment resolution. He says in the
record that he was aided in the prep
aration Of his charges by certain
other persons. New. we want TO hear
who these persons are"
THE Attorney General and his
friends are trying at the outset to
throw up a smoke screen" declared
Attorney Jackson II. Ralston, for
Keller. 1.-THE question Of who is in
terested with Mr.. Keller in this mat
ter is not pertinent at this time"
Ordered to do so by the committee
Ralston finally said he helped Keller
and he thought Samuel Untermyer Of
New York aided The committee then
gr.lled Ralston as to his connection,
asking who was paying him.
81 was asked by President Gompcrs
of the American Federation Of Labor
to prepare certain of the charges" :"
said Ralston, "and nothing was said
about compensation
Then you represent the American
Federation OF Labor and Gompers?"
said Chairman Nolstead.
"Yes, I am their counsel" replied
Ralston, but i am appearing in this
case for Mr. Keller
The committee argued for nearly
an hour with Keller and his counsel
over which of Keller's specifications
against Daughcrty should be taken
ND first. The committee wanted to
take up the charges in order, but
Keller and RalstOn refused absolutely
to proceed except on charge No. -,
concerning the alleged untitness OF
William j. Burns, appointed by
Daugherty as head of the Bureau of
Investigation.
AS questions brought out that Rep
lresentativc Keller does not know whom
he will call as witnesses to substan-
tiate certain of his charges, and docs
not know when he will be ready to go
to test on some counts, committee
men intimated that Keller was not
"oyerfamiliar" with his case. Hot
words passed, and finally Representa-
tive Graham, PENNSYLVANIA, Republi
can. demanded that Keller be put
under oath.
al think Mr.. Keller ought to be
sworn" declared Graham. "He has
made serious charges against a higll
Government official and we ought tc

tell us what he had to base his

"I am already sworn as member

us. MORAL AID NEEDED
"ScaleS Are Evenly Bal
anced," and Slight Push Is
All That Is Needed.
By David Lawrence.
Especial Correspondent Of The Eve
ming Worldly

WASHINGTON. Dec. IL Copy
right. - The reparation problem
which for four years has kept Eu-
rope in a state of apprehension has
been deposited for settlement on the
doorstep of the White House. The
deadlock in the conference of Pre-
miers at London, with the decision to
have another conference in January,
means that Europe still hopes the
United States will lend helping
voice II not hand in bringing she
nations together on workable pro-
gram.
Try as the American Government
may under this Administration, as
under the preceding one, to regard
the reparation question as separate
and distinct from the matter of Allied
war debts to the United States, the
practical side of the matter reveals
how insepurable the two really are.
Great Britain is trying to appease
French sentiment by proposing
change for an agreement on Frances
part to accept lower reparaton from
Germany.
And when that cycle of negotiation
begins. it usually ends with the bar
rier of Americas debt, on the adjust
ment of which no authoritative word
has been spoken by anyone. even the
Funding Commission appointed by
act of Congress.
II the United States would only dis
cuss the question of reparation and
war debt and express an opinion, her
moral influence would go far toward
compelling a settlement. Tho scales
are evenly balanced. America can
throw her weight in any dircc-
tion and force her own viewpoint.
Europe is ready to listen to American
proposals not alone because they come
from a nation detached from Euro
pcan controversies of political and
| economic nature but because America
is a creditor nation with immense 4
| nancial power.
In the background also is the land
armament situation. which is keeping
Europe on edge and draining the
budgets of all the powers on the Con-
| tlnent. The United States is stll
waiting for France to ratify the
Naval Disarmament Treaty. Although
It is denied here that the development
of American policy toward Europe
has any relation to the delay in the
French Parliament in ratifying the
treaties negotiated at the Arms Con
ference here year ago, the practical
| effect Of tho delay is about the same
thing. America will not consider
taking a more active part in Europe
while France blocks the way on

The story is of the type which has
made Bosworth the most admired

Mrs. Bluebird, apparently un-

FRENCH ACADEMY
CROWNS VIRTUES
Two and One Half Million
Francs Distributed Yearly
in Awards of Merit.

PARIS. Oct. 11-Among the var
envy is the distribution every year
of the sum OF 2,500,000 francs in
awards of merit, not only for; lit
erary excellence. but for tilial devo-
ton; to compensate the paid;
fer domestic virtue, and tC help the
needy. The money comes from var
ious foundations, notably that OF
Baron de Montyon, who died in
1920, and Monsieur Cocnacs, at one
time proprietor Of large Paris de-
partment store.
The Academy must give yearly to
each of 80 families in Strengthened
only on condition that the family
has nine children. Fial devotion
by a person not less than 80 years
old is regarded yearly by 1900
francs. and an equal amount goes to
q servant rot under 60, years of age
who has remained in the employ Of
the same master more than 20
years, and has received only part
Of the wages due, or else very small
compensation. Two medals valued
at 500 francs each are conferred on
persons not less than 60 years of
age who are in difficult circum-
stances" The sum of $500 francs
is to be given yearly to an I'M
married woman servant who has
served with devotion a family or
preferably maiden lady, in adverse
circumstances. Another testator who
specified that his or her name was
never to be published left 4,500
francs a year to be distributed every
two years in prizes of 1000 francs
each to poor but well brought up
young women of irregular birth.
The Academy also awards literary
prizes amounting to nearly 100000
francs year. AS in the case of the
prize1 for merit, the first one was
founded by Baron de Montyon. His
prize CT 1880 francs goes to the
most moral book of she year. The
literary prizes are fewer and more
valuable than those awarded for
merit. The largest, after the Mon
lyon, is the Jean-Jacques Berger
prize of 1900 francs, which is
awarded every five years for the
best book dealing with the city OF
Paris.
