Shot at COP, Hit America,
 Pepper Says of Democrats
Scandal Disclosure Has Been A Boomerang,
 Senator Declares

PORTLAND, Me, April 3.-Senate democrats in endeavoring to injure the republican party have succeeded in dis crediting both of the great political parties. Senator Pepper, republican, Pennsylvania, declared ill keynote" address here today before the repub- lican state convention.
 This discrediting process has reached the point, Senator Pepper asserted, that "an irresponsible and highly dangerous third party has actually suggested it. self to the extremists as practical possibility.
 "The democrats" he added, "have aimed at us and hit America"
 T am here today" the senator stat ed, Ito affirm my belief that the demo- cratic party has recently forfeited whatever claim to public confidence it may have possessed. 1 am here to reg ister my conviction that upon us, who call ourselves the followers of Lincoln, rests the weighty responsibility of strengthening and safeguarding the re- public.
 Republicans of Maine, this is the task to which I summon you-a task which should stimulate the enthusiasm of every man and woman who holds the republican tradition and is ready to go forward to victory under the leadership of Calvin Coolidge.
 "HOw About Forbes?"
 But at this point, -. when sem sible people are waiting to be told about the Presidents position on public ques- tions and what the party is attempting to accomplish for good government. somebody is sure to shout. 'Hom about Forbes? How about Fall? and How about Daugherty| Thereupon we find ourselves showered with threats and ac- cusations in which a modicum of truth is Obscured by mass of fiction.
 ''The appointment of Forbes as head of the veterans bureau and of Fall as secretary of the interior have proved to be terrible mistakes while the selec- tion of Mir. Daugherty as attorney gen eral seems to me to have been a grave error in judgment.
 During the progress of these sO- called investigations many good citi- zens and wise editors have been ex- horting republican senators to show the fighting spirit. Since we have lacked actual legislative control, this advice has amounted to nothing more than an appeal for brave talk"
 Turning aside from what he denomi- mated as scandal" Senator Pepper charged that the democrats, making the most of their strategic advantage in Congress for partisan political req sons, have "created situation in which constructive legislation is difficult if not impossible"
 "As a result" he continued, admin istration forces have been able to do little more than begin translating into law the program laid down by Presi- dent Coolidge in his first annual mes sage to Congress.
 During the residue of this session." he said. i've shall do what we can to move forward in the right direction"
 Will Reconstruct Mellon Plan
 Senator Pepper declared an effort would be made to diminish "the dam age done to the Mellon tax plan in the House."

SLAYER OF HUSBAND ON TRIAL AT SEALE
Mrs. Humber Faces Jury For
 Second Time

PHEN{X CITY, Ala, April B. Especial. )-Following the conclusions of arguments in the murder trial of Oscar Radcliffe this afternoon at Scale, the second trial of Mrs. Leila c. Hum Der, charged with fatal shooting of her husband, Lucius F. Humber at his home in Girard on May IS, 1922, was commended. Judge J. S. Williams is presiding. It is expected that all of Friday will be taken up with the trial.
 The trial required more than two days the first time, in the fall of 1922, when Mrs. Humber was found guilty of second degree murder and given Il years in the penitentiary.
 From that verdict she appealed to the state court of appeals of Ala bama and was granted a new trial. After the new trial was granted she was released from the Lee county jail where she had been held for several months under bond of $10,000.
 The principal witnesses for the pros ecution, who will be heard first in- clude Dr. Elrod of Girard and Dr. Jones of Columbus, who attended MT. Humber, Tom and Charley Humber. sons of the deceased and stepsons of the defendant; Henry Hunter of Co., lumbus, and l.. W. Jones, former chief of police of Girardd.

 Remarking significantly that it ''is not the organ of any candidacy, pres idential or other kind," the Repub- lican declares it "has some firm con victions about the principles involved in thes fate of the two cabinet off cers."

BORAH TO DIRECT
 SET OF CHARGES
 OF KOLCHAK AID
To Conduct Private In quiry Into Allegations
 Involving Government
By E. B. M'DoNALD ft n.saA MIrn An rhx Az. n..~


 WASHINGTON, April 3.-Thoroush Investigation of charges that the United States government, acting through the American relief administration, ma terially aided the Kolchak- -Denekin- Yudenitch revolt against the soviet gov ernment late in 1919, will be instituted privately by Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman of the Senate Russian con- mittee, the senator said today.
 Following statements by Capt. II. l.. Scaife, former department of justice agent; James V. Martin, commander of the U. s. $. Lake Fray, shipping board vessel when it delivered A. R. A. supplies to Reval, Russia, in August, 1919, and Cyril J. Quinn. former ship ping manager of the A. k. A.. Borah declared his intention thoroughly to sift the mass of contradictory charges.
 To Call Committee
 This investigation will start private ly, but later. should the facts warrant 1t, Borah will present the evidence to the Senate Russian committee and ask them to act on it. The senator expects to call a meeting of his committee as soon as the other inquiries here die down sufficiently to bring the Russian question to the fore again.
 In attacking the amazing series of charges and counter charges, Borah will inquire particularly into:
 l. The alleged conference in Paris between representatives of the United States, Great Britain and France, at which a secret compact was said to have been agreed to for the purpose of crushing the soviet government.
 2. The charges by Martin that he delivered a ship load of A. K. A. sup plies to General Yudenitch in Reval, among which were 60 motor trucks which later were used ill Yudenitch' s abortive offensive against Petrograd.
 3 The counter-charge by Quinn that Martin, himself, had attempted to aid the ounter-revolutionary forces, but not under instructions from either the United States government, the Amer ican relief administration, the Amer ican Red Cross, or Secretary of Com merce Hoover, who at that time was head of the relief.
 It has .been generally known that France and Great Britain aided the Kolchak eounterrevolutionary forces and that Winston Churchill, minister of foreign affairs under Premier Lloyd George, asked for and received a large appropriation from parliament to aid the Kolchak forces. The attitude of France toward Kolchak also was favor able to the extent that she gave ma terial aid.
 Until Martin made his charge, the United States never had been directly connected with the Kolchak forces, although American troops had been stationed in Archangel and Siberia until late in 1919. The late President Will son was known to be strongly opposed to the bolshevik regime.

DAUGHERTY'S SON
 TO ENTER MOVIES
Starts As 'Extra'-NOw Wants
 Regular Job

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, April B. Draper Daugherty, son of former At torney General Daugherty, is trying to break into the movies, according to word from the studios.
 Daugherty came here on a vacation and met a school chum, Richard Tucker, who has a part with Baby Peggy. Tucker took his friend with him on location, and as some extras were needed to act as passengers in a train scene, young Daugherty was hired. He registered the emotions re- quired of him, ate his lunch and at the end of the day received his $5.
 Put me down for tomorrow if you can," Daugherty told the assistant director. Maybe I'll be famous some day"
 Now he intends to stay here and try for a regular job.

present attacks upon the republican ad- ministration has been and is confined almost exclusively to the individuals most directly attacked. It is source of regret that these attacks, which are meant to .discredit the entire republican administration, and which. are intended to wreck the republican party itself, have had to be repelled by small but grimly determined company of indi- vidual republicans instead of by the full strength of party leadership and membership unified by party loyalty.
 People generally have been surprised to see panic prevalent in the ranks of those whose duty, as republican lead CTS, has been to stand up and fight. Above all else the people admire cour- age in leadership"
