DEMANDS LOCKWOOD
BE Hailed TO SENATE
Robinson Wants G. o. P. Secre-
tary to Explain Attacks
ION This Body"

A demand that George 3. Lockwood,
secretary of the Republican national
committee, be called before Senate
this body" was made in the, Senate to-
day by Senator Robinson, Arkansas, the
Democratic leader.
The demand came during a speech
from the floor in which the Arkansas
senator attacked activities of lockwood
in inStituting Investigations OF Senators
Walsh and Wheeler of Montana
The proposal was prompted by a
statement issued last night by Mr..
Lockwood. in which he declared that
the special Senate committe inves-
tigating the Indictment of Senator
Wheeler of Montana had not looked
at" the most important evidence in
the case.
Wants Reason for Silence.
II apprehend," Senator Robinson
said that Mr.. Lockwood will be
called to explain why he has kept
the information which he asserts
justifies the Indictment OF Senator
Wheeler in the secrecy of his con-
science"
Senator Borah. Republican. Idaho,
also replied to the Lockwood state
ments. He declared every witness
suggested by Lockwood had been
uestioned, as had every individual
in any way connected with the mat
ter"
'I don't want to anticipate our re-
port" he added. but it will say all
there is to be said"
Mr.. Lockwood and his agents"
said Senator Robinson, have not
been active with a view to improving
the public service, but solely to boil
ster up a defense of acts which can
not be defended"
Sees Senator's Attacked.
Replying specifically to the state
ment issued last night by Mr.. Lock-
wood, Senator Robinson said it con-
stituted an attack on Republican
senators for their alleged failure to
defend "the dissipation of the naval
oil reserves, a dishonest transaction"
Referring to Lockwood's statement
that much of the evidence against
Senator Wheeler had not been '1ook-
ed att by the Senate committee in
vestigating that senator's indictment
in Montana, Senator Robinson said
that "if his purpose had been an
honest one, frank one, he should
have laid before the committee the
evidence which he possesses, IL he
possesses any"
This statement by the committee
chairman was interpreted by Senator
Robinson as bearing a plain impli-
cation that there's nothing against
Wheeler except he made It uncom-
Portable for crooks in Office"

SAYS lands GAVE
FALSE TESTIMONY
Chicago Assistant q. S. Attorney
General Disputes Liquor Case
Pardon Story.
rs SCORED BY WHEELER
Charge Ridiculous, Middlekauf
Told in Daugherty Probe.

C. w. Middlekauf, assistant United
States attorney general at Chicago,
told the Senate Daugherty investi-
gazing committee today that former
Judge Lands had made 'untruthful
and unwarranted" statements in his
recent testimony about the convic-
ton and pardon Of Philip Grossman,
former Chicago saloonkeeper, ac-
cused of violating the prohibition law.
In q letter filed With President
Coolidge, seeking the pardon, Middle
kauf had said that but two witnesses
testified to sales of liquor in the case
in which Grossman was convicted.
Judge Lands said there were four.
Mr. Middlekauf agreed today there
two of them testified about liquor
sales. One of these, Ball, he insisted,
was "discredited' because he padded
his expense account"
Il wrote the department it didn't
have a righteous case" Middlekauf
said.
Judge Landis says it is a matter of
common knowledge that Grossman ran
saloon up to the moment of his
pardon" suggested Chairman Brook
hart
Deprived Of Building.
1T isn't a fact" Mr.. Middlekauf
replied, because the owner of the
building took it away from Grossman
after his conviction
Middlekauf insisted there was no
case against Grossman, but Senator
Wheeler, the committee prosecutor,
told the witness his statement was
ridiculous"
The latter then complained he had
been victimiZed by scandal" and by
newspaper attacks, and Senator
"TlI say 70 you that I now believe
the testimony of Judge Lands about
this matter"
MiddHekanf Is Excused.
Middlekauf agreed with Wheeler
that there were breweries and "sev-
eral thousand saloons running in
Chicago"
And will be as long as prosecut-
ing officers try to discredit their own
witnesses instead of trying to convict
law violators," put in Chairman
Brookhart
Middlekauf returned, land let me tell
you, when came to Judge Landis in
the Grossman case he looked at me
with one Of those prima donna smiles
and said: Those fellows down in
Washington would just like to get my
wouldn't theyr"
Middlekauf was excused.
Conrad w. Crooker then returned
to the stand to tell further of the
modification of the anti-combination
consent decree against the New
Haven Railroad allowed by former
Attorney General Daugherty.
Croker repeated his conclusion that
the "gravest injustice had been in
f1icted on Boston and Main stock
holders, for whom he is counsel.
What was the Attorney Generals
motive in modifying that decree?"
asked Senator Wheeler.
H0wiand Offers Objection.
f'Well, now, if you can get out of
this witness information as to
another mans motive" said Paul
Howiand, attorney for H. NJ. Daugher-
ty, my respect for you has gone up
considerably. I object to that ques-
tion."
Crooker did not answer.
r. G.. Hutchins, jr.. of the New York
banking firm of Hallgharten & Com
pany was elected a director of the New
Haven Company after the modification
Of the consent decree, Croker testified,
on the ground that Hutchins was
financial adviser to former Attorney
General Daugherty.
