HANS HERZL ADMITS HIS
BAP TISh But DENIES
OTHER DETAILS. Il AM
NOT IMPORTA Mt TO
JEWRY" HE SAYS.

London-A letter from Hans Herzl
confirming his conversion to Christ
/ ianity, but denying other details, ap-
peared in Saturday. Londay Daily
Telegraph. The letter reads as fol-
lows:
I'm view of the statement about my
self to which you gave publicity last
Tuesday, allow me to say that while
it is true that was baptised into the
Christian Church on July 90 in
Vienna, report Of the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency + in no other par.

"Thanking you in advance for any

tion with the representative of the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency here stat
ed. 81 am not important to Jewry till
now. Jewry never interested itself in
i my affairs, why resent now and pry
into my private life"
Hans who resented very strongly
the publicity given to his conversion
refused to make s.ny other statement
than to admit that he was baptised.
"This is my private concern and am
really angry with Robert Stricken be-
cause of his making public my private
letter which should never have been
brought beyond his privacy. felt
bound in honor to inform Mr.. Strick-
er of my change of religion, but it was
intended only for him.
The correspondent of the J. T. A.
had the impression that Hans Herzl
feels that a great injustice has been
done him. He is particularly aroused
at the Wiener Morganzeitung which
published his London address and thus
made his private dwelling place un-
safe against inquisitiveness.

Little Damage
In Heavy Blast
! 80 Pounds Dynamite

Boston, March 27-An explosion
which Jared half n dozen north coast
towns tonight and which mystified
the state police and the police of
dozens of cities and towns in Essex
and MiddleseX counties. was traced
after three hours search to the de-
tonation of eighty pounds of dyna-
mite, designed for use in the extern
sion of private golf course in
Beverly. 1t Is believed that no one
was injured.
Felt in Lowell, 25 miles away, the
shock OF the explosion Jared houses
and shook telephones and dishes
from tables in North Salem and Sa-
lem Willows. The explosion, de-
scribed as similar to a "heavy clap
of thunder was heard for many
miles and led to fears that serious
accident had occurred.
After more than three hours Of
search during which the police of
Boston to Manchester on the North
coast and far inland were besieged
with queries by startled residents Of
the region, Beverly Investigators
discovered a gaping hole five feet In
diameter where the 18th tee had been
on the golf course. Eighty pounds

dental and that no one had been hurt,
said that they had found one of the
doors of n gun club nearby forced
open and that an investigation was
under way.

Last of Ceremonies
In Elevation U. S.
ArchbishOps at Rome

Rome, March 27-(By A. P.)-The
final ceremonies of elevating Arch
bishop Mundelein of Chicago and
Archbishop Hayes of New York to
membership in the highest council
of the Holy Roman Catholic Church
took place this morning in the right
tfansept. of the Basilica of Saint
Peters when Pope Plus gave to
them their broad brimmed red silk
hats, symbolic of their new rank OF
cardinals.
The ceremonies were respondent
with medieval pageantry. Fully ten
thousand persons attended the func-
ton. Americans formed a great ma
jority Of the throng. Many persons,
unable to obtain admission to the
actual scene of the conferment of the
red hats, TANNED the spacious aisle
of the main nave of the edifice en-
deavoring to obtain at least fleet
ing glimpse of the pontiff as he was
borne in the sedia gastatoria TO and
from the specially erected throne.
This mornings solemn investiture of
the red hat was merely a time-honored
custom, the same symbolic headpiece
being used for both the American pre-
lates. The red hats which they act
ually will take back across the seas
with them were given them late this
afternoon by special papal emissaries
during semi-public ceremonies.
Those for Cardinal Mundelein were
held at the college of the propaganda,
and those for Cardinal Hayes at the
American College. The red hats never
are actually worn, but will be taken
back by the prelates and suspended by
golden wires over the high affairs in
their respective cathedrals, there to
remain until the deaths of the cardi-
nails. when they will be cerem oniously
taken diwn and placed over their
tombS.

COMMITTEE SEXES
TAX RECORDS OF A
MELLON COMPANY

Washington, March 27-Tax rec
ords of the Gulf Oil Corporation, a
Mellon company" practically were
impounded today by the special SEN
ate committee investigating the in
ternal revenue bureau. The COM
mittee's action followed testimony to
the effect that the corporation had
teen allowed lessee depletion" re-
auctions in the settlement of its cases
for 1917-1S-19, made in February,
1921, and by which it was credited
with met excessive payments for
the three years of $3,775, 1000.
Senator CouZenS, Republican, Mich
igan, whose resolution brought about
the investigation, obtained from A.
c. Ernst, Cleveland, Ohio. accountant
whose firm worked up the CONSOLE
dated returns for the Cult group
companies, a statement that the
lessee depletion allowance" had
been granted by the bureau in the
1921 Gulf settlement.
Turning to S. M. Greenadge, a bur-
eau official, Senator CouZens was told
that Secretary Mellon did not ap-
prove the treasury regulation grant
ing lessee allowance" on Oil well
depletion until 1922. Greenadge said
he knew of no other case in which
this allowance had been granted prt-
or to the 1929 approval and added
that the regulations effective in 1921
were to the contrary. The question
was long under debate in the bureau
before decision to grant lessee de-
pletion was arrived at, he said,
THE Gulf oil knew it in 1921 but
the public didn't know Of it until
1922" Senator Couzens said. "How
is the public to know IL the regula-
ton isn't published until a year after
the allowance was granted to a par
ticiilar corpoEation?"
.Greenadge said the great majority
of Oil concerns knew the question
was up and delayed settlements I'M
I'll! the ruling was handed down.
Solicitor Nelson T. Harrison of the
bureau interrupted to point out that
when it was published, tax payers
had the opportunity to have their
cases reopened and collect refunds
based on the ruling.
II want to know what that allow.
ance meant to the Gulf people in dol
lars and cents Senator Couzens de-
clared.
Harrison said it would take time
to produce the figure as 1t involved
search of the Individual accounts Of
Gulf subsidiaries.
At this point Senator Couzens sug-
gested that the committee impound
the Gulf records in custody Of the
sergeant alarms. Harrison objected,
questioning the legal right of the
bureau to surrender possession. AZ
ter brief executive session, the
committee solved the problem by
putting Harrison and Greenadge I'M
der oath as custodians Of the rec
ords until the committee resumes its
work Monday.
Senator Couzens explained that it
had appeared desirable that the
books should remain in the commit
tees charge without possibility of
any suspicion that they had been
tempered with" until the figures re-
garding depletion allowances and
other points had been obtained from
them. Bureau officials agreed to
have these figures ready on Monday.

HALT MOVE
Continued from Page Ono

It has come from some of the
presidents closest advisers and has
been supplemented by numerous let
ters recently received at the white
house.
Equally insistent has been the de-
mand, according to others close to
the president that Mr.. Daugherty be
the, storm and letters to this effect
have been received in numbers at
the white house.
The president having considered
both sides Of the question held two
conferences yesterday with Mr.
Daugherty. What went on in those
two conferences was not disclosed.
The public statement made that de
partmental matters" were consider
cd, but intimatiors came from au-
thoritative sources both yesterday
and today that the departmental
matters" concerned primarily the
matter Of continuance in office Of the
head of the justice department.
Inquiries made by the president
prior to his meetings with the attor-
ney general were understood to have
failed to convince the executive that
tho business of the department was
being transacted with the efficiency
and dispatch that the country had
right to expect. Reports had been
received by the president that the
uncertainties developed by the in
vestigating committee regarding de-
partmental affairs had hampered
work and in some cases demoralized
tho efficiency OF the employees.
Mr.. Coolidge. regarding this mat
ter requiring consideration apart
from any findings Of the senate
committee. is understood to have
asked Mr.. Daugherty many ques-
tions about the progress OF depart
mental business during yesterdays
conferences.
The conferences apparently did not
satisfy the president and accordingly
increasing evidences appeared today
OF the approach Of the separation OF
Mr.. Daugherty and the attorney
generalship.
Mr.. Daugherty has declared re-
peatedly he would never resign I'M
der fire. The situation accordingly
has resolved itself once more into
question OF whether President Cool
idge will demand his resignation.
Indications today were that the eX.
ecutive was nearer to that point
than he ever had been before.

also voted that the club would at

A very pleasing feature Of the
meeting was that the 150th member

bition of Rev. F. L. Cam who was
the organizer of the club to have
them attain this mark in member

growing since its organization a
short time ago and ill the members
are now hoping to reach the ITS
mark.
