Mr.. Schmidt so that he may in.
terest capital and build a resort
there in keeping with the great.
ness Of the cave itself. He con.
templates building a hotel. for
the climate at this point is su.
perb the year round and the
panoramic view from the point
on which it is proposed to locate
the hotel is magnificent. The
ball room would not be in the
hotel but would be underground
in a solid rock chamber that has
an arched ceiling and is about
fifty by one hundred feet. It
has a natural entrance from the
Cave within, but has an artifi
cial entrance from the main
road, about five hundred feet
from the hotel site. Water will
be pumped up from a creek bed
about one mile distant.
A peculiar thing is that the
air any where in the cave, as far
as it has been explored, stays at
one temperature, being that Of
seventy two degrees. It has
never varied over one degree in
two years of observation, no
matter how hot or how cold the
outside atmosphere.

Daugherty Resignation
VII Modify Oil Quiz

Washington, D. C.-The elimination
of Harry NJ Daugherty from public
office is to have an important effect
upon the future procedure of the spe-
cial committee of the senate engaged
in investigating the conduct of the de-
partment of justice.
The committees program is to be
modified with a view to subordinating
evidence that may affect. the personal
character of the former attorney gem
eral.
From now on the committee will
devote itself to bringing out informal
ton intended, it is claimed, to be of
a constructive character helpful to Mr..
Daugherty's successor in correcting
abuses which Mr.. Daugherty's enemies
have charged against his administers
ton.
In explaining this intention, Senator
Wheeler, democrat, Of Montana, a
member of the committee, and the
prosecutor of Mr.. Daugherty, said that
hereafter the meetings of the commit
tee would not be devoted to attacking
man who was down, but merely to
revealing conditions in the department
of justice which should be remedied.
The whole future trend of the in
vestigation, he said, would be in the
direction of opening up new leads to
show the new attorney general where
his duty lay.

TRAFFIC HALTED
BY SLEET STORM
Worst Blizzard of Season
Hits Northern Wisconsin
and Upper Michigan.

Eau Claire, Wis.-Eau Claire was
snowbound on March 20 as the result
of one Of the worst billiards of the
winter. Close to foot of snow fell
and drifted during the night and
street car service was practically at
a standstill, with one or two cars get
ting through at infrequent periods.
Interurban traffic between this city,,
Chippewa Falls and Altoona was also
tied up. Railroad schedules on roads
running through Eau Claire, especial
ly for east bound trains, were dis
rupted, trains being five or six hours
late. Telephone service to Milwaukee
and Chicago was cut off. Country
roads were badly drifted and impass-
able.
During the height of the blizzard
fire destroyed the home of Carl Brown,
Shawtown, causing loss of $4,000
and damaging the home Of Carl Louis
Hermanson, neighbor. The Brown
family had close call and the house
dog persisted in the flames.
Superior is BIockaded
Superior, Following week OF
balmy spring weather, Superior awoke
Saturday morning to the worst bliz-
card of the year. A sixty-nile gales
swirling snow into huge drifts, caused
almost complete cessation of business.
Street cars were operating under diff
ficulties and but few daring motorists
ventured out.
Hats Traffic at De Pere
De Pere, visa snow storm, ac-
companied by driving wind, prevail
ed here all Friday night and Satur-
day. City streets and country high
ways are again drifted with from one
to three feet of snow. Street cars
were stalled and train service was in
terrupted.
Upper Peninsula Snowbound
Marquette, Mich. The upper PENN
sula cities on Sunday began to dig
themselves out of deep snow left in
the wake of a 36-hour blizzard during
which more than foot of snow fell.
The storm started early Saturday
and by Saturday night railroad serv-
ice was badly crippled and direct wire
communication to lower Michigan was
impossible.
Spring weather last week opened
up automobile roads in many parts Of
the district, but the week end storm
will delay inter-city motor travel at
least week The storm had spent
its fury by midday Sunday.

1919, before Harding's election, to
make an audit for valuation, and incl
dentally found overpayment of taxes
since 1909. Accordingly he made re-
vised returns and $3,90O,0OO refund

DAUCHERTY TOLD
TO QUIT CABINET
Yields to Request to Resign
as President Shows I'm
tenabIe Position.

Washington. = Attorney General
Daugherty resigned Friday, effective
at once, following receipt of letter
from the President, requesting that ne
step out Of the cabinet.
President Coolidge pointed out IN
his letter that the attorney general
being an interested person In the pres
ent senate investigation of his depart
ment, is not qualified to furnish the
President with such advice as he must
depend upon his attorney general to
receive.
Mr. Daugherty answered the Presl-
dents letter with statement of three
terse sentences, in which he suggest
ed that his resignation take erect
forthwith.
An hour or two later, as a private
citizen. the attorney general sent the
President longer letter, in which he
took exception to the ground upon
which the President based his request.
Mr. Daugherty insisted that the posi-
ton taken by the President was I'M
tenable.
Reports that the attorney general
would resign were persistent in the
capital Thursday. Nothing official had
been announced regarding the Presi-
dents letter, which bore Thursdays
postmark, but hints Of what was i'm
pending had leaked out.
Immediately after dispatching his
reply to the President, the attorney
general boarded a train for Atlantic
City. Under the statute, James M.
Beck, solicitor general, will act as at
torney general, pending the appoint
ment of Mr.. DaughertY's successor

PLEDGE IS GIVEN
BY FIFTY PACIFISTS
Divinity Students DisfaOor
Army and Navy.

ChicagO.-Just as the furore occa-
stoned by the flag-hissing incident of
Sunday night was beginning to sub
side, pacif1sm raised its head again in
Evanston. One hundred and fifty theo-
logues in Garrett Biblical institute met
in one of their classrooms. By sresolu-
tions they demanded the abolitioD Of
the "army, navy and other instru-
ments of competitive warfare, includ-
ing the Reserve officers Training
corps"
Then, as final expression of their
pacifism, more than fifty of the stu
dent preachers present signed pledge
cards, binding themselves to refuse to
sanction any future war or to enter
any form Of military service for the
nation.
Reports from Naperville, ILL.,, say the
authorities of the Northwestern col
lege had recommended the discarding
of the Reserve officers Training corps
there, because the men Of the school
opposed military service. The college,
an evangelical Methodist institution,
has an enrolment of $50 students. It
is in no way connected with the North
western university.
In stern contradiction to this express
sion of pacifism on the part Of the
Biblical students was a statement is
sued by Bishop Thomas Nicholson,
head of the Chicago area Of the
church. Bishop Nicholson hit hard at
the pacifst, though his hatred of war
was plainly expressed. IF the flag is
fred on will be in the forefront of
those demanding its defense" he said.
