| to give under oath the. information
upon; which he based impeaeh-
naenI charges against Attorney
General Daugherty has created a
precedent of such possible far
reaching importance that the
i house judiciary committee decided
to-day to refer the whole matter
lio a subcommittee for investiga-
ition.

iwho dramatically withdrew from

At the, time the taking OF testi-

lpleted.

Ipoint within day or two the sub

ness of the members to serve
! Admittedly Mr.. Kelier's an

What the power Of the committee
and the house is in the premises.
| Fhe situation is without parallel
SO far as they now can determine
and since whatever action is decid-
ed upon will constitute a guide in
1.-THE future there is a disposition TO
attack the problem with great care
and deliberation.
The situation was canvassed full
Iy at an executive session today
lasting for more than an hour
and a half. but there was such a
diversity of opinion that agreement
upon definite line of action was
regarded as hopeless. at least, until
a study Of the legal authorities had
| shed more light than thus far has
been brought to bear. From the
start some members have been in
| favor Of a report for contempt pro-
ceedings before the bar of the
house, but thus far they appear
to have been in the minority.
! On the basis of the information
now at hand, the members are
fairly convinced that Mr.. Keller can
not be made to appear before the
committee to testify. They also
| are OF the opinion that the house
itself can not enforce compliance
with the subpoena as could court
| in similar case. Whether there
could be contempt proceedings is
! another question and one for the
subcommittee to inquire into.

tation of an International loan to
Germany, estimated rs high as ST.
500,600,000.
The statement follows:
'sDr. Otto Wiedfeldt, the Ger.
imam ambassador, called on MIR.
Morgan on Saturday to make IN
auiry as to the possibility OF our
undertaking to assist in floating a
large, socal1ed international loan
to'Germany. In his reply AR. Nor

and in effect told the ambassador
that our position was exactly the
same as it was then. -
He informed Dr.. Wiedfeidt,
that. while we greatly desired tc
be of service to the general sit

manifestly reached such a poini
that it was not possible for us te
