ATTORNEY-CENERAL IS
BITTER IN ATTACK
ON HIS FOES
Bv GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.

International News Service
Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty
retired from the Cabinet today under con-
ditions that amounted virtually to removal
from office by President Coolidge.
MIR. Coolidge asked for the resignation of
MIR. Daugherty in 7OO-word letter, in
which he said matters had reached stage
where it was necessary for the President to
have the "distinterested advice" of an At
torney General, and in view of the investiga-
ton now proceeding against MIR. Daugherty,
he did not think he was capable of render
ing that sort of advice.
The President got Mr.. Daugherty's resiena-
ton in 6O-word reply that was as brusque
and brief as the Presidents letter was
lengthy and explanatory.
The President informed the Attorney Cen
eral that he was NOT prejudging his guilt
or innocence of the charges made against
him before the Wheeler Committee-but
that the present situation was intolerable
from the White House viewpoint. MIR. Daugh-
erty's twin positions of being Attorney Gen
eral and at the same time defending himself
were incompatible, the President said.
LETTERS ARE MADE PUBLIC
Within an hour after the White House announced
the retirement of the Attorney General and made
public the two letters, Daugherty himself made
public second letter to Mr. Coolidge-written as a
private citizen-in which he described the grounds
on which MIR. Coolidge asked for his resignation
''untenable."
The position taken by the President-that Daugh-
erty could not defend himself from attack and eff
GENTLY fulfill his duties Attorney General-was
disputed by MIR. Daugherty. He declared the Presi-
dents contention in this regard to be hardly
ranted by the facts" He called attention to the
fact that he had hired counsel at his expense to
defend him, and denied that employees of the Gov
eminent had been put to work in his personal behalf

TONE IN
LUMBER MARKET
No Notable Demand or
Price Increase Shown,

Although there has not been a
notable increase in either demand
for or prices OF lumber, the market
has a somewhat better tone. Deal
ers and consumers show greater in
terest in offerings, and manufactur-
.ers seem less disposed to sell at pres
ept low level, according to the Ameri-
IAN Lumberman, Chicago. 1t is gen
orally felt, by wen informed buyers
as we'll as by sellers, that prices have
struck bottom and are likely to show
an upward reaction at any time.
There have been few changes In soft
wood prices during the last fort
night. and their stability is a good
indication that the recent precipi-
tate decline has been checked.
Mills state that prices now realized
are below production costs, and
many Of them are curtailing their
output. While some find it neces-
sary for financial reasons to sell for
what can be got. others in increas-
ing numbers are taking the position
that there is no reason for sacrihc-
ing their product, and are therefore
beginning TO pick their orders more
carefully, returning offers that are
too low
