ing the action of Attorney General
Daugherty in ordering the dismissal
of w. A. Watts, special agent of the
department of justice, Representative

today that salts had it coming to
him.
Speaking as chairman of the house
committee of the last congress, which
investigated the conduct of the war,
Mr.. Graham said there was nothing
else for Mr.. Daugherty TO do under
the circumstances. Watts was re-
moved for disloyalty to the depart
ment" after he had furnished certain
information relating to cases grow
ing out of alleged war contract frauds
to Representative Johnson, Republic
can, South Dakota. member of the
Committee of which Mr. Graham was
the head. To retain the special agent
the llinC $ representative asserted,

in the army, and later was employed
by the committee as an investigator.
Because of his faithful work" Mr..
Graham said he recommended his
employment by the attorney general
"vouching for him in the most posi-
tive terms as trustworthy, intellI-
gent and reliable man."
Representative Garrett, the Demo-
cratic leader who was member of

while in the war department Major
Watts had given Chairman Graham
facts o., alleged facts which he had
obtained as an employe of the de-

cepted and acted upon the informa-
tion thus given.
II confess" said Mr. Garrett, that
l have some difficulty in seeing how
Major Watts was subject to criticism
for giving information while in the
department of justice and not sub
ject to criticism for giving informa-
.tion while in the war department"

OKLAHOMA MINISTER
QUITS PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH UNDER FIRE
[RepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel


LAWTON, Okla, May S.-That he
is resigning not only from the pas
torate of the First Presbyterian
church at Lawton, but that he is quit
ting the church as a denomination
and will accept the communion Of
some other denomination, was the
statement of the Rev. Thomas J. Ir-
win to the Associated Press here late
today. The Rev Mr.. Irwin's church
has been split over his support of
the late Jake L. Hamon, Republican
national committeeman for Okla
homa, and other matters, and an ef-
fort has been made by part Of the
congregation to have him removed.
The minister said he was not quit
ting Lawton. This is my home and
/ intend to remain here and l will not
be driven out" he added.
The sudden decision of the minister
coming as it does in the midst OF IN
auiry being conducted here by
Fletcher Riley, county attorney, into
the abduction Of the minister last
Saturday night and the alleged in
cendiary fires at his church was
complete surprise, as he had an
nounced that he intended to stick 10
his post until the bitter end.
Charges alleging misconduct ana
conduct unbecoming a minister OF the
Presbyterian church had been pre-
ferred against Mr. Irwin and were 10
be heard by the judicial commission
of the governing presbytery at Law
ton, May 8. The belief was e&-
pressed in church circles that these
charges would be dropped following
the pastors resignation.
THE alleged charges which nave
been brought against me" said Mr.;
Irwin today, "are so trivial that !
did not consider them in my decision.
There are no charges against my
moral conduct or against my the
ology. / am asking the presbytery
to dissolve my pastoral relations
with the First Presbyterian church OF
Lawton, and further am Informing
them that / am quitting the COM
munion of the Presbyterian church.
One of the rocks on which Mr.. r.
wins church split was a marriage
ceremony which he performed in a
public bathing pool at Medicine park,
an amusement resort near mere, last
summer. Bathing suits were Worn
by the bride and groom and the mar
riage was as abbreviated as the we'd
ding garments, for it lasted but 80
days according to testimony at the
trial for annulment of the marriage
in district court at Oklahoma City.
The ceremony was annulled.

PROTECTION FOR
CHEMICAL TRUST
[RepubIIean a. ?. Leased WIrsl

ERepubIican A. p, Leased Wire1
WASHINGTON, May S-Charges
thatethe Roessler Haslacher Chemical
company OF New York a former Ger
man owned concern. made uncon-
scionable profits during the war were
made today in the senate by Senator
smoot. Republican. Utah, during a
general cross-fire OF debate as to
whether the company should be given
tariff protection Of 10 per cent ad
yalorem on its production OF cyanide.
'Robbery-if You piease-for that's
the only way TO characterize the
profits" declared Senator Smoot
Both he and Chairman MoCumber
OF the finance committee, conceded
that the company had a monopoly of
the production of cyanide in the
United States and was the sole agent
OF the German cyanide cartel but
they argued for the 10 per. cent duty
proposed by the committee on the
ground that without it the industry
in this country, would be destroyed
and Germany and Canada would
control the American market. Sena-
tor Smoot said he had no doubt that
if the American industry were ruined
Germany would driEe the Canadian
company out Of business and then
make the American users OF cyanide
pay dearly, as they had made users
OF other products pay under similar
circumstances in the past.
Senator Pittman, Democrat, Ne
vada. opened the debate on the
cyanide paragraph, declaring that the
proposed duty was in the interest
only of a single company and its sub
salaries and that with it in force,
this company would charge what
the citrus fruit growers and the min
ers of this country can afford to pay
The Nevada senator charged that
two days before the United States
entered the war, the German owners
OF the Roessler Haslacher company
transferred stock TO German Ameri-
can citizens and that the alien prop
erty custodian had held that the sale
was fraudulent, and for the purpose
of concealing the German ownership.
Senator Frelinghuysen, Republican,
New Jersey declared the company
now was American owned.
Reading from official records of the
alien property custodian. Senator
Pittman said the company has made
profits as high as 900 per cent, and
that one of it's subsidiaries, the Mag
ara Electric Chemical company. had
made even higher profits. He charged
that some Republican senators were
willing to protect this monopoly so
as to get protection for monopolies
in their own state.
Senator Pittman also said that the
10 per cent duty proposed would not
keep out German imports, but would
shut out from the country cyanide
made by an American owned company
with a plant at Niagara Falls, On
tario.
During the debate, Senator Jones,
Democrat, New Mexico, reverted to
the question Of the relative costs of
producing acetic acid in this country
and Canada. Senator McCumber re-
marked that if senators kept going
back to the acetic acid paragraph
which already had been disposed of,
he was afraid the senate would
pickle the whole tariff bill with this
vinegar item before we can dispose
of it"

Mr.. Gompers, declaring that there

enactment" brought his talk down
to local issues, saying that of New
York's rs members of the house or
representatives more than 20 were
absent from their posts of duty on
the day that the eighteenth amend
ment was voted on.
Further dissatisfaction with the
liquor laws was expressed by James
p Holland, president of the state
federation of labor.
Mr.. Holland declared that If the
representatives in congress from
New York did not listen to the de-
mands of the people, "others would be
put in who would"
"The congressman OF this state,
he said, must listen to the demands

the meeting, said what he personally
disliked more than anything else
about the Volstead act was that 1t

He was opposed, he said, to any

LEAGUE REJECTION
IS BRANDED TRAGIC
BLUNDER Of NATION
LRepubIIean a. ?. leased Wlrel


NEW YORK, May 3 - Theodore
Marburg. former minister to Belgium,
asked the annual meeting of the
Woodrow Wilson democracy tonight
if all that was done at the Washing
ton conference could not have been
accomplished also under American
leadership two years earlier, if the
United States had entered the league
OF nations.
The senate's rejection OF the league
covenant he called "the most tragic
blunder our country has ever made.'is
If the treaties that came out of
Washington had been made within
the league, Mr.. Aarburg said, there
would be something continuing in
the form of a central body charged
with the duty and clothed with the
power to punish violation of law"
and this. he believed. was lacking in
the arms conference agreements.
Unless the substance of the treaty
relating to the employment Of sub
marines and poisonous gases in war
is taken up and adopted by the
league, we are likely to find the
treaty little more than a pious wish.
We are soon forgotten and certain
to be ignored should another war
come-as it will come unless we help
organize to prevent it." he said.
1T is more and more evident that
this league of nations-not some
league of nations-is the hope of the
world" he remarked asking if there
were not innumerable ways to CO.
operate with the league without join
ing it. In this connection, Mr.. Mar
burg said, President Harding had to
discourage war, and. that Secretaries
Hughes and Hoover were firm beliey-
ers in the principle"
Where. then, is the difficulty
he inquired. "* Granted the
administration thing they have a
mandate to keep out of the league
surely they do not go so far as to
interpret the presidential veto to kill
the league

mony OF six past or present directors
of the Jerome Superior company in
a hearing here today before the AIi-
zona corporation commission on the
corporations petition TO increase It's
bonded Indebtedness by $100 geo.
tended to emphasize a lack of har-
mony in the mana cement of the
companys mines near Jerome. Ariz.
ID. F. Johnson, chairman of the conf
mission, threatened forcible measures
unless the flow of recrimination be-
tween counsel and witnesses was
stopped.
J. A. Brewer, president OF the com
pany, said he believed proper protec-
ton of the funds Of stockholders and
necessity for determining the amount
of copper in the property justified
increasing the bonded Indebtedness
by $1,000 900. He said no commits.
sions would be paid out of that sum.
L. J. Selby. formerly secretary
treasurer of the company. testified
he thought $4,000 would be suffi-
cient to put the property in working
shape This, he said, would include
unwatering and from 900 to 1000 feet
of diamond drilling. Selby endorsed
the reports of engineers which were
discredited by Charles w. Kits OF
San Francisco, counsel for num-
ber of stockholders. Kits objected
principally to the contention of en-
gineers that the development of the
property should be effected through
diamond drilling.

astrous. II the republican voters OF

scarcely be expected that republican
senator's who are candidates for re-

can be expected to remain loyal.
THE vote for Beyeridge was sim
ply a protest against the national

for an affirmative set of policies.
-The people of Indiana ought 60
find it much easier to make a choice
between Ex-Governor Samuel M.
Ralston who won the democratic
