OPPOSING
DAWES RAIL PLAN
Restoring Ruhr Lines to Ger.
man Control Held Bad
Military Tactics.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, February 20.-The French
high military command opposes the
abandonment of the Ruhr railroad to
Germany as is provided for in the
plan of the expert committee. The
French government has been advised
that military occupation could not
continue with security unless the
Franco-Belgian civilian control of
communication is maintained.
French and Belgian military forces
occupied the Ruhr without opposition
from the German railway men, who
transported troops, munitions and
supplies freely. They facilitated the
occupation of the Ruhr as efficiently
as they could have done had they been
moving their own troops, but French
military opinion is that they would
not do SO again, and that to turn back
the railways into German hands
would make it impossible to easily re-
sumo q military grip. They also argue
that to leave a small occupational
force with its transport completely
in the hands of possible enemy
would be dangerous, and, in a pro-
fessional sense, highly foolish.
The government, therefore, is ex-
aiming the conclusions of the ex-
perts from two points OF view-the
first economic and the second that OF
military security. 1t Is understood
the French government sees no OBJ
lection, under given economic condi-
lions, to the withdrawal of their
civilian administration Of the Gus
toms and coal tax and supervision of
the mines.

RESENTS RUMAN|AN
IMMIGRATION NOTE
Chairman of House Commit
tee Says Legation Protest
Is ''Impudent."

Chairman Johnson of the immigra-
ton committee told the House today
he had received an "impudent" pro-
test from the Rumanian legation
against provisions of the new immi-
grafton bill.
The protest had been forwarded to
the committee by Secretary Hughes
and was read on the House floor by
Mr.. Johnson. 1t said:
1T should be considered that the
adoption of the census of 1890 as a
basis for the new immigration quota
would not only deeply wound the
pride Of the Rumanian people but
also strongly affect their material in
terests. inasmuch as Rumanian i'm
migrants, by their savings, increase
the amount of stable currency avail
able for commercial and financial pur-
poses in Rumania.
Detrimental Effect Seen.
This in turn would not fail to have
a detrimental effect on the chances
of Rumania to speedily attain its goal,
economic recuperation. an aim which
cannot be indifferent to any govern
world to recover from the conse-
quence of the world war
After reading the communication to
the House. Mr.. Johnson declared that
these impudent protests received
from foreign governments to re-
cuperate at the expense of the Amer
lean people will have the result soon.

really restrictive immigration legis-
lation.

TOXIC, February 20.-A three day
chorus of praise for Secretary of
State Hughes attitude regarding the
exclusion of japanese from the United
States, expressed by him in a letter
to the House immigration committee,

which paid glowing tribute to
Hughes "sagacity and fairness" and

rector crossed the threshold of the big
money making plant yesterday for
the first time since they were let out
in March, 1922.
1t was with mingled feelings that
they entered, and approached the big
Army officer who had been intrusted
with the job of strengthening out
bureau affair, and placing these
persons in positions satisfactory to
them. According to their friends
they had suffered under the suspicion
which sudden dismissal for the good
! of the service had thrown around

ton program announced weeks ago
by administration leaders. Rumors
had been afioat that they would prob
ably never be restored. that perhaps

RESOLUTION HELD UP.
Wheeler, However, Delivers Sting
ing Attack Against Daugherty.

While action on his resolution to in
restigate the record in office of AT
torney General Daugherty was
blocked yesterday, Senator Wheeler.
democrat. Montana, delivered
lengthy and singing attack on the
Attorney General, charging that the
Attorney Generals name was mixed
in the oil scandal from the first, and
that his personal friends had been
accepting money in exchange for
their influence with him.
IF the Attorney General has not
actually got the money" declared
Senator Wheeler, "he is a bigger fool
than the people of the United States
give him credit for being"
Immediate action on the Wheeler
resolution was blocked by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, republican
leader. who objected to Senator
Wheeler's efforts to name members of
the Senate Investigating committee
himself rather than leave their APP
pointment to the chair.
Names Jesse Smith.
In his charges that Mr.. Daugherty's
friends had accepted money, Senator
Wheeler named Jesse Smith of Ohia
who committed suicide in the Attor
nev IcHtTd al dPhi 10y
May, and the Attorney Generate
former partner and friend, Mr.. Field.
err
Senator Wheeler made his Senate
speech after he had appeared before
the oil committee in executive session
and laid before it certain informa-
ton regarding Investigations which
have been made into charges of stock
speculation by government officials,
He would not reveal the character
of this information, but promised
that. if necessary, he would produce
it publicly at the proper time.
The Montana senator proposed az
members of the investigation com
mittee the selection of Senators
Brookhart of Iowa, Jones of Wash
ington and Mclean of Connecticut,
republicans, and AshurSt of Arizona
and himself, democrats. Senator
Lodge objected that designation of
the committee members in the reso-
luton itself was an insult to the pre-
siding officer, whose function it natu-
rally would be to make the selections.
Senator Wheeler, in return, asked
whether Senator Willis. republican,
Ohio, had not given the chair an
other list for membership on the COM
mittee after comforting with Mr.
Daugherty.
Certainly l conferred with the
chair" said Senator Willis.
after just previously you had con-
ferred with the man who is to be in

TO DISCUSS STATEMENT
Attorney General Issues Flat De-
NAL of All Charges Brought
Against Him on Senate Floor.
Declares His Innocence Will
Be Fully Established.

Attorney General Daugherty has
reaftirmed to President Coolidge his
determination not to resign under
fire.
Vie visited the White House this
morning, talked over the situation
with the Chief Executive and re-
turned to the Department of Justice
to dictate statement affirming his
decision to stay in the cabinet.
1t was insisted BY those close to
the Attorney General that he and
the President had found themselves
in complete accord.
White House officials were silent.
They would not affirm or deny that
the question of Mr.. Daugherty's re-
tIrement had been discussed at the
conference.
The visit of the Attorney General
to the executive Offices had revived
a belief among those who have at
tackled him in the Senate that his
retirement was imminent.
Foes Saw Resignation.
1t even was indicated that some Of
those demanding his resignation were
