count. Before he could let loose
his own terrific left, peacemakers

KELLER STRIKES
SNAC in ATTEMPT
AT IMPEACHMENT
Daugherty Hearing Post
pOned to Near Time for
Adjournment.

Impeachment of Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty instituted by Rep
resentative Keller, Republican, of
Minnesota. in the House several
days ago, struck snag before the
House Judiciary Committee yester-
day, and the prospect is that the
effort will get nowhere.
When the committee met. an at
mosphere of suspicion as to the
motives actuating the impeachment
effort was apparent and a wrangle
resulted in postponement of the
hearing on Keller's resolution un-
til next Tuesday. BY that time
Congress will be almost ready to
adjourn.
On that day Keller is under in
structions from the committee to
present evidence substantiating the
seven ALLEGATIONS on which he
based an impeachment resolution.
Samuel Gonpers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, also
is to testify. according to Edward
F. McGrady. legislative representa-
tive for the federation. Benjamin
Marsh will represent the Farmers
National Council. cooperating in
the impeachment.
Keller took the position that the
committee must hold his charges
against the Attorney General of
sufficient gravity to warrant a
searching probe by the committee
into the acts and conduct of the
Attorney General.

America Keenly Interested
In Control of Dardanelles
Asia Minor War Laid to Secret
Intrigue involving All
Europe.

The United States government. IL
was explained authoritatively yes

ests in Asia Minor and in the final
settlement of the controversy over
the Dardanelles.
Aside from the duty of enforcing
the rights Of the citizens of the
United States, under the so-called
capitulatiOns treaty negotiated with
Turkey many years ago, this gov
eminent is bound to protect the
lives and property Of Americans In
Asia Minor. and fully intends to do

Thc so-caIIed canitulations rights
entitle an American citizen to he
tried in the consular courts Of his
owr country. All rights under the
capitulations treaties were declared
null and void by the Sultan of Tur-
key at the outbreak Of the world
war, but this government has never
admitted the cancellation.
Right 20 Keep straits Open.
The allied nations have maintained
naval and military forces in Tur-
key not only to enforce their capit-
ulatOry rights and to protect the
lives and properties Of their citi-
zens. but also under the provisions
Of the armistice concluded at the
close Of the war. Under this armis-
tice the allies retained the right to

The treaty of Sevres which fol-
lowed nearly two years later. put
the straits zone under control of an
interallied commission. The United
States. not bei-G technically at war
with Turkey. had no part in the
armistice proceedings and was not
a si-natory of the treaty Of Sevres.
although this government was in
vited to have a repr esentative on
the international commission which
should control the straits.
Treaty Never Ratiaed
The treaty Of Sevres never haV-

was never formed.
