Washington Turning its attention
once more to the McLean-Fall incident
at Palm Beach, the Senate oil COM
mittee heard on behalf of the White
House positive disclaimer of any
previous inside information on the
subject, and developed new mystery
regarding the now famous 100000
loan which Albert B. Fall obtained
while he was in the cabinet. c. Bas-
com Slemp, secretary to President
Coolidge, testified that he not only
had no prior knowledge of the truth
regarding the loan, but that he dis
cussed the subject at Palm Beach with
both Fall and Edward B. Mclean,
publisher of the Washington Post, and
urged that they dispose of the many
rumors in circulation by telling the
committee the whole story.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SETS FORTH
DATA ON INVESTMENTS IN
REPLY TO CRITICS
TELLS OF STOCK DEALS
OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR WILL.
LIS DEFENDS PURCHASES AND
SALES OF SINCLAIR STOCK

Washington. Attorney General
Daugherty publicly acknowledged that
he had dealt in Sinclair stock before
and since he entered the cabinet, de-
clared lie never had misused official in
formation in these transactions, and re-
newed his willingness to submit all the
facts in any Investigation the Senate
| might order.
In AN open letter to Senator Willis,
Republican, Ohio, Mr.. Daugherty said
he bought some Sinclair stock before
he became attorney general, and final
ly suffered Il loss of SIS share. Six
months after Teapot dome was leased
to the Sinclair interests, he sold part
of his stock, in an effort to recoup loss
es. Litter he bought back the same
amount at a slightly lower price, and
finally sold, last fall, his entire Sinclair
holdings.
The letter also answered charges Of
failure to prosecute former Secretary
Fall, Edward l.. Doheny, Harry +. Sim
clair and Charles X. Forbes. former d.
rector of the veterans bureau.
Mr.. Daugherty pointed out that at
his suggestion action against Fall, Do
heny and Sinclair was left to special
government counsel while proceedings
against Mr.. Forbes had been initiated
some time ago before grand jury ut
Chicago.
The attorney general added that
he never had given any opinion, oral
Or written. regarding the legality of
the oil leasing policy and had no
knowledge of the negotiations until
they were concluded. He urged that
the Senate inquiry into his depart
men be conducted without delay, but
that he be given an opportunity to
summon witnesses of his own for
questioning by his own counsel
A copy of the letter was sent to
the White House after it had been
made public mt the department of jus
tice. White House officials said it
had not previously been submitted to
President Coolidge.
Later Mr.. Daugherty had long
conference with the chief executive,
but there was no outward indication
OF change in the situation that has
resulted from the demand of Repub-
lican Senate leaders that he resign.
AT the same time, however. it was
apparent that some definite step
might be announced in the near future.
The President has under considera-
ton several proposals, one of them
contemplating that Mr.. Daugherty
submit his resignation to become eff.
fective after the Senate inquiry has
been completed. BY that method, 1t
has been suggested, the attorney gen.
eral might avoid the charge of quit
ting his office under fire.
