HOT ON TRAIL OF
DAUCHERTY and
WAR GRAFTERS
Atty General Asked to
Disclose Facts
tBr The FEDERATED Press,

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Senator
Norris has introduced resolution in
the Senate, directing Attorney-Gen-
eral Daugherty to give information.
~ Whether, in prosecuting war
grafters, Daugherty has settled on a
basis of civil suit, and has failed to
bring criminal action; (2) Detailed
list of such cases, including the nature
of the fraudulent act charged, the
date of settlement, the amount
claimed and the amount secured in
settlement in each case, name and
address of each defendant, and the
fact as to whether an immunity bath
was given each or any of them.
Senator King, of Utah, offered a
supplementary resolution, asking
Daugherty what use he has made Of
the $1,000,000 given him by Con-
gress two years ago, for prosecution
Of war contract frauds, the status Of
all prosecutions, and especially the
status of the Wright-Martin aircraft
fraud case, submitted to Daugherty
by Secretary. Weeks in October, 1921.
These resolutions are intended to
lead up to an exposure of the sup
preston of the war graft scandal
which led the New York Tribune, two
years ago, to demand that Daugherty
resign.

WILSON'S DEATH CANT SAVE MCADOO
Coolidge in Frantic Effort to Appease Rural Unrest
McAdoo Paid for His ''PuII"

WASHINGTON.-"Cooidge is thru" This Is the
statement made openly in Washington today by who
his strongest supporters few weeks ago. The
Coolidge kite has Topped into oil.
McAdco is also thru, but his boosters acknowledge
that Doheny stopped the McAdoo drive for the presidency
when he testified before the committee that his firm
had employed McAdoo while the Wilson administration
still in power.
Here is the testimony that sounded the death ImeII
of the McAdoo cohorts:
The Chairman--And how long did Mr. McAdoo con-
tinne to represent you?
Doheny-Mr. McAdoo continued represent US in
that regard until the Mexican situation practically
completed; that is, until the administration changed.
The Chairman-That is, he continued to represent
you SO long as Mr. Wilson's administration remained?
Doheny-So long he president yes SIR and
after that he didn't represent in Washington any
longer.
The Chairman-And does he still represent you7
Doheny-And he still represents us.
The Chairman--WilI you tell us how much you paid
Mr.. McAdoo?
Doheny-All told, think about $25O,OOO
Put in newspaper English this testimony means that
McAdoo paid by the Doheny interests for legal
ability but for the fact that he was Wilson's
and had pulp with the administration

anu Hdu likewise employed
former Attorney-General Greg
Dry, to represent him in influ.
encing the policy of the State
Department, under the Wilson
administration, in connection
with Mexican policy.
Doheny Bought McAdoo.
From a date about a year
after McAdoo left the cabinet,
Doheny testified, he had EN-.
ployed McAdoo to act as his
agent in dealing with Mexican
matters in Washington. After the
Republican regime came in, McAdoo
continued to represent the Doheny in
terests. here, going before the Shin
ping Board and various departments
either in person, or by proxy. To
date McAdoo is still drawing Doheny's
100000 salary or retainer, and he has
not seen fit to tell the public about it.
He has received $25O,O0O.
AS to Gregory, whom President
Coolidge picked-much to the amaze
ment of everyone in Washington.
who knew him as an oil attorney
represent the public in prosecuting
the oil lease frauds, Doheny testified
that Gregory, soon after leaving the
cabinet, took $4,000 of the easy
Doheny money to "go before the State
Department, to gain entree there for
as in connection with Mexican oil
lease permit matters, to get the State
Department to adopt certain policy
toward Mexico" -

SHOWING DESPITE.
ARRESTS OF TWO
Police Fear Outbreak
of Race Battles

Managers of the Auditorium
Theatre will continue to show "The
Birth of a Nation" David w. Grif-
fith's race hatred picture, until jury
passes on the case of Jay Weber and
Nathaniel Galben, the two operators
arrested by the police while the pic
ture was being shown Sunday night.
The men demanded jury trial when
arraigned before judge in the South
Clark street station.
Police stopped the show under a
statute forbidding pictures which
tend to engender race hatred. They
said they feared a revival Of the race
riots in which scores lost their lives
in 1919.
Ku Klux Klansmen are ardent
boosters for the picture which repre-
sents the hooded order as the savior
Of the South from the emancipated
slaves. The Griffith production is
based on Thomas Dixon's novel, The
Klansman, which seeks to justify the
violent methods by which Southern
black men have been disfranchised
and frequently murdered.
Police say the showing of the pic
ture is far more dangerous now than
when an injunction was obtained
against an earlier showing in 1915.
Negroes are in a more aggressive
mood. Many Of them are armed and
prepared to fight to the limit against
lynch gangs.
1t is pointed out that the success
which white thugs had in slaughter
ing so many blacks in the riots of
1919 was not due to superior marks

more fendish methods Of fighting.

MCADOO BOOSTER
WOULD hit BOTTOM
IN THE OIL MESS

WASHINGTON. - Senator Dill
Of Washington announced, after
McAdoo's $250,000 Of retainers
from Doheny had been revealed,
that IL was time that the lid be
torn OF, and congress go to the
very bottom of all this use Of
money in influencing public policy
at Washington IN recent years."
The stigma Of oil was as poi
souous as the shade OF the tabled
upas tree. Public men should re-
move IL at once, from Its evil
effect upon government. Dill has
been a McAdoo supporter.

iIRELIEF FOR
BANKERS NOT
FOR FARMERS
No Enthusiasm for Latest White
House Proposal

Especial to The Daily Worker)
WASHINGTON.-Relieff for
bankers but nothing for the
farmers, is the way in which
representatives of various
farmers organizations here
characterize the latest propo-
sails of President Coolidge,
made to the northwestern con-
ference on agriculture.
The proof that the measures
proposed are not intended to
relieve poverty-stricken farm
ers is found in one sentence of
the presidents address, which
says:
lie will serve no useful purpose
to lend money to farmer who is
in such a position that an any
moment mortgage holders and
general creditors can fall upon
him, sell his lands and seize his
property"
It is the evident intention to loan
the funds which will be furnished
to banks only to farmers who are
good risks" at present. The diversi-
aeatieH ef farming recommendation
L. laughed at BY farmers who point
out that one or two years must
elapse before dairy and poultry
farming begin to bring in any in
come and that both are highly specu-
Iative ventures.
They point out that in dairy and
E. poultry sections the farmers are Just
rs much at the mercy of dairy and
commission houses as are wheat
farmers at the mercy of elevator
and milling combines.
What the farmers need, say their
representatives., is not more credit,
but cancellation in some form of
the existing indebtedness. The Cool
idge proposals make no mention Of
this condition.
Specifically the President proposed,
for the governments part:
1.-Enactment of the Norbeck-
Burtness bill proviNng a $50,OOO,O0O
appropriation for promoting divers
ification of agriculture in the wheat
states.
2.-Extension of the life of the
war finance corporation to permit it
to aid distressed banks until Dec. 81,
1924.
For the part Of the business inter-
ests of that region, welfare is linked
with that Of the farmer the President
suggested:
3.-Co-operation with the Depart
ment of Agriculture in promoting
diversihcation.
4.-Arrangement of general re-
funding and extension of existing in
debtedness of farmers, their volun-
tary agreements with their creditors.
This conference has been called to
consider the pressing agricultural
needs Tor the northwest" Mr.. Cool
idge explained.
Difficulties exist there among
some Of the banks and on farmers for
which I wish to propose certain re-
medies. / do not intend to exclude
other remedies nor am / undertaking
to consider agriculture as a whole.

ton, not charity, whether it is chari-
ty Tor the weak or for the strong.

.MILLIONAIRES
PALLBEARERS
FOR WILSON
MagnatHS Lead Mourning For
War President

WASHINGTON.-A cortege
of multi-millionaires will carry
the body of Woodrow Wilson,
late war president, to its final
resting place in a Washington
cemetery.
Among the pall-bearers will
be his warm personal friend,
Bernard Baruch, Wall Street
financier, who netted fortune
at the time Of the leak of the
Wilson peace note, in Deem
Der, 1916, and who afterwards was
dictator of war contracts as head of
the War Industries Board; Cleveland
H. Dodge, copper magnate who
doubled his fortune during the war;
Vance Mccormick and Cyrus McCor-
mick are members Of the late pres
ident's war cabinet.
Hundreds Of messages of sorrow
have been received from European
potentates, American financiers and
politicians, who unite in attributing
to the war president every imaginable
virtue.
The Wilson legend, which died so
violently at the Versailles conference,
is arising again in the flood of myth
making, now going on.
The only barren field for Wilson
eulogies is found in the labor move
ment which remembers that the late
president attacked conservative labor,
after the war, as persistenly as he
had attacked radical labor during the
war.
Gompers and Gary Mourn.
Samuel Gompers, almost a lone
admirer in the ranks of organized
labor, however, comes forward with
laudation in which he compares
Wilson to Washington and Lincoln.
Gompers has always been an ardent
supporter Of Wilson. His loyalty did
not flag even when Wilson was using
all the forces of government to crush
the strike of the steel workers for
semi-human conditions of labor and
the strike Of coal miners to protect
their standard of living against rising
costs in 1919.
Gompers' grief is equally shared
by Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman
of the board of directors of the
United States Steel Corporation, who
had Wilson's aid in fighting the great
steel strike. The administrator
aid was given thru the department of
justice which, working hand in hand
with Gary's under cover men, arrest
ed scores of active strikers on deport-
atioh warrants. Wilson directly in
tervened in behalf of the 12-hour-a-
day autocrats-who refused to meet
union leaders-by sending Major
General Wood to the steel town of
Gary with orders to use any methods
necessary to crush the strike.
Says Gary's tribute:
"The death of Mr.. Wilson will cause
shock of grief turnout the whole
universe. Mr.. Wilson was a great
man, a profound scholar, states
man of high rank, an orator equal to
the best. His knowledge, his wis
dom, his keen perception and his in
huences were' practically dedicated to
the cause of justice, and what he did
for the protection of civilization will
never be forgotten"
Even Liberals Don't Weep.
Little contribution to the Wilson
symposium has come from the ranks
Of the liberals who found in the lber-
tartan phraseology of his earlier
speeches an object for their admira-
ton. Their establishment was
completed after the peace conference
when the war president abandoned
