Despite Fact That Attorney
General Daugherty Has
Quit His Office

WASHINGTON. March 2s.-The
Daugherty investi- ting committee
was thrown out of step momentarily
today by the resignation of Attor-
ney General Daugherty but when the
excitement caused by the announce
ment had subsided it ploddez along
in it's task of gathering evido ee
against the Attorney General.
Life in the Daugherty apartments,
where Jess Smith, the attorney gen
erals friend who committed suicide
lived, was gone into through the
medium of Walter Miller, former
valet, who told of whiskey being
brought and kept there; of the many
visitors including Albert B. Fall,
Harry F. Sinclair, viii Hays How

host of others, and of some social

COOIidge'S Letter Asking
Attorney General TO Quit
President Says He Does Not
Question Fairness or In
tegrity of Daugherty

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Presi-
dent Coolidge's letter to Attorney
General Daugherty requesting his
resignation written under date of
March 27, follows:
MY Dear Mr.. Attorney General:
"Since my conference with you,
have examined the proposed reply
you suggest making to the demand
that you furnish the committee in
gestigating the department of JUS
tice with files from that department.
relating to litigation and the bureau
me and to the committee in your
letter that it would not be compat-
ible with the public interest to COM
ply with the demand. and to con-
clude your letter with a statement
that I approve that position.
Certainly / approve the well es-
tablished principle that departments
should not give out information or
documents where such a course
would be detrimental to the public
interest and this principle is always
peculiarly applicable to your depart
ment, which has such an intimate
relation to the administration of JUS
tice. But you will readily perceive
that I am unable to form an inde-
pendent Judgment in this instance
without long and intricate investi-
cation of voluminous papers, which
cannot personally make, and so
shonld be compelled to follow the
usual practice in such cases and rely
upon your advice as attorney gen.
eral and head of the department or
justice.
"But you will see at once that the
committee is investigating your per-
sonal conduct, and hence you have
become an interested party, and the
committee wants these papers be-
cause of claim that they disclose
your personal conduct of the de-
partment. Assuming that the re-
quest of the committee is appropri-
ately limited to designate files. still
the question will always be the same.
In view of the fact that the inquiry
relates to your personal conduct,
you are not in a position TO give TO
me or the committee what would be
disinterested advice as to the public
interest.
