VOLSTEADS SEES
No CONVICTION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14:-Chair-
man Volstead declared. last night
during hearings before the House
Judiciary Committee on impeach-
ment charges against Attorney Gem
eral Daugherty that, judged by the
character of testimony thus far Of
fered, he did not believe it possible
"to make anything out of the case"
The statement was made during
the taking of testimony on a second
of the Impeachment specifications
filed by Representative Keller (Rep.
MINI. THAT charging a failure by
the attorney general to force COM
pliance by the railroads with the
safety appliance acts.
Previously the committee had
completed the taking of evidence on
the first of the fourteen ~specifica-
Daugherty had knowingly appoint
ed to Office men who were "~untrust-
worthy, corrupt and dangerous to
the liberties of the people of the
United States.''
Most of the evidence relating to
this specification had to do with
charges against William J. Burns,
chief Of the Bureau of Investigation
of the Department of Justice, and a
defense of Mr.. Burns against those
charges.
The climax was furnished by SEN
ator Hiram Johnson (Rep., CALI,
who appeared to uphold Burns.
The California senator testified
that as to a question of veracity be-
tween Burns and former Attorney
General George W. Wickersham of
the Taft administration, he would
believe Burns.
He quickly qualified the answer.
IT knew Mr.. Burns" he said. IT
did not know Mr.. Wickersham, but
I was with Burns in a trying time.
I saw Burns withstand pressure. I
saw him under fire"

fruitless to ask for additional funds.
He said his board needed it to re-
pair the city docks and also to erect
a municipal warehouse. to replace
the dilapidated structure now exist
ing as an "eye sore" OF the city dock
property. President Van Pelt said
the harbor board had constantly sent
communications to the aldermen
asking for funds to carry on their
work, but no response was given.
1t Is uselss at this time. he said. to
ask for any specified amount, as
the board would not be likely to
grant it..
After all of the municipal board
representative had been heard aud
left the city hall the aldermen staff
ed to work up the actual budget.
They worked on it for about two
hours in an effort to secure some
idea of what the total amount
would be City Engineer Morgan
F.. Larson was not present at the
meeting and no consideration was
given the cost to the city of relay
ing a part of the present sewer
system in order to permit the work
of eliminating grade crossing TO
proceed. This figure may be avail
able tonight or tomorrow night, as
may also be the cost to the city of
changing the grade, relaying curb
ing, mains and doing other work to
the streets which must cross the
tracks.
The increase in police pay rep
resents a boost of approximately
$4,000 to the police account, ac-
cording to figures available last
night. This will make this years
police appropriation. $4,000 in
stead of 100000, the amount set
aside for this department in 1922.
The increases asked by the
health, library, city plan and park
boards totalled $4,000. Comptrol-
Ter Morgenson submitted to the
board a tentative list Of bonds
which must be included in next
years budget, but no total of these
amounts was available.
The aldermen will make UP their
budget exclusive of the school ap-
preparation, as it will not be until
the early part Of February that the
Board of School Estimate turns
over to the aldermen the approved
budget Of the Board of Education.
The school board Is understood to
contemplate including the cost of a
new school in their 1928 budget.
The water board has not yet made
known its 1928 budget. but it is ex-
pected to decide upon its 1928 fig
ures at it's regular meeting next
week.
