PROBERS TO HEAR
LEASEE OF CAPITALS
LITTLE GREEN HOUSE

New York, April S.-Howard D.
Warrington was served with a SUBJ
poena to appear before the Daugh-
erty investigating committee in
Washington upon his arrival tonight
on the French liner ChLcago.
In an hours talk with newspaper
men coming UP the bay Mr.. Man
ington declared all the talk about
the little green house on K street,
Washington. during his residence
there was ridiculous"
He denied that President Harding
or former Attorney General Daugh-
erty had visited him there although
he admitted that William Orr had
been his guest.
Mr. Warrington asserted he would
not go to Washington for two or
three days as the subpoena would
always hold good"
He ridiculed the idea that he had
an interest in the Carpenter
Dempsey fight films and belittled the
testimony Of Roxie Stinson.
What did she know about q"
he asked, and added. "She talked too
much. Certainly, she never visited
the little green house while I was
the lessee"
Mr.. Warrington admitted, however,
that Jess w. Smith. former husband
Of Roxie Stinson, possibly had visit
ed the house during his occupancy
of it.
When first questioned he said he
had leased the little green house,
for four months. Later he admitted
that 1t had been under lease to him
from June, 1921, to November, 1921.

Chemical Company

Portland, Me-, April 8--Ntcholas
Kalman of New York City today filed
damage suit for 100000 against
the American Coke &; Chemical Co.,
of Cricago. in the Supreme judicial
Court, nearly doubling the previous

1920 at Chicago at the request OF
the defendant he undertook Ger
tain promises relative to providing
his entire services as a chemist Tor
n period of ten years. turning over
all his formulas and processes. secret
or otherwise and to giving the De
lendant the right to insure his lie
for the benefit of the defendant.
He contends that the terms OF the
alleged agreement have not been
carried through: that his services,
formulas and processes have nos
been accepted and salaries have not
been paid.

Wheeler'S Statement

Washington, April S-Senator
Wheeler in n statement tonight de-
clared that the indictment returned
against him in Great Falls, Mont.
was brought SOLELY for the purpose
Of interfering with tho senate inves-
tigation Of the department Of justice.
1t was convincing evidence. he as
serted, that the investigation OF the
department should go on, and he de-
clared that 1t would go on because
the action in Monta.a Shows that
even with Daugherty out OF his ONCE
his malign influence still moves his
old pawns."
The indictment, the statement
added, was evidently brought at the
instigation of the Republican M
tional committee officials I'm conniv-
ance with the late Attorney general''
and the hope that II will be tried be-
fore Judge who was a recent sell
cotton of Daugherty.
Former Attorney General Daugh~
ertyi at the same time authorized the
statement that the evidence present
ed to the grand jury at Great Falls,
with reference to Senator, Wheeler,
was uncovered by the postoffice de-
partment and that the department OF
justice had nothing whatever TO DO
with 1t.

Senate Regulars
Seek Compromise
On Revenue Bill

Washington, April S-A movement
within the ranks of senate Republi-
can regulars for a compromise on
the Mellon income tax plan develop
ed today as the revenue bill carry
ing the rates in this plan, was order
ed sent to the senate by the finance
committee.
Senator Mccormick of Illinois, a
Republican member of the finance
committee, announced he soon would
call q conference of some Republican
leaders. particularly these of the
farm bloc. with q view to working
out a substitute schedule for the
Mellon rates. Proponents of the
Mellon plan have admitted. Senator
Mccormick said. that it cannot be
adopted in the senate.
The fight on the bill will center on
the income tax rates as in the house
where the Mellon plan was rejected
in favor of the Longworth COM
promise. a schedule similar to the
Longworth phn is predicted by
some Republicans as the compromise
that will be agreed upon.
The only other contest OF conse-
.quence looked for now by leaders OF
both parties will be on the miscel-
laneous and excise rates, some Of
which were restored to the bill by
the finance committee after their re-
peal had been voted by the House.
A bitter contest is anticipated on
dhe income schedule, however, and
Chairman Smoot Of the finance COM
mittee predicted today that a mini
mum of three weeks would be re-
quired for disposition of the bill by
the senate. 1t will be reported, to
the senate Thursday, he said, with
the majority report on the bill to be
made probably by Friday. A min
ority report by the Democrats will
be submitted by Senator Simmons.
North Carolina, ranking Democrat
on the committee. proably at the
same time. Meanwhile, Senator
Smoot expects to call the committee
together Thursday to take up the
soldier bonus bill sent to the senate
by the house. Not more than two
days is expected to be consumed by
the committee in consideration OF
this measure and it is likely the bill
will be before the senate before the
tax measure actually is taken up.
NJ. Smoot said 1t was not probable
that the latter bill would be taken
up by the senate before the middle
of next week. while some senators
have indicated they will seek to nave
the bonus bill disposed of first.

has decreased considerably in in
tensity. An area of high pressure Of
wide extent accompanied by a de-

SEN. WHEELER INDICTED II il
FOR TAKING MONEY TO
INFLUENCE OIL GRANTS
EXPERT GROUP END
; MONTHS GRIND
ON PREPARATIONS

Paris. April S-(By A. P.)-The
reparation experts have completed
their task.
Shortly after eight o'clock tonight
the last correction was made in the
text Of the report and marked the
end of the formidable work under
taken January IA. AS tomorrow's
meeting with the reparation COM
mission will be a mere formal cere-
mony for the delivery of the report.
the three months Investigation and
discussions may be regarded as Of
ficially terminated tonight.
When the committee convened In
January it was confidently expected
that six weeks would suffice in which
to draw up report, and two months
was given as the extreme limit of
time in which the experts would be
ready to present their conclusions.
The work lasted longer than was
originally expected because the ex-
perts made the most of the scope
allowed them in the investigation Of
the various problems involved and
went into every detail with careful
scrutiny, consulting numerous spec
ialists. railroads and banking mono
poles as we'll as representatives OF
the German ministries interested.
The French press is practically un-
animous in praise of the business
like manner in which the experts
conducted their work saying that the
conclusions reached constitute SER
ious bases for a general settlement
of the reparation problem.
One thing Is certain. that the ex-
perts' conclusions-as has been re-
peatedly stated by Premier Poincare
will be studied by the French gov
ernment with the greatest care and
the most earnest desire for concilia-
tion in the hope of reaching an
equitable solution of the reparation
question while safeguarding Frances
essential interests.
