CURRENT EVENTS
Harlan Fiske Stone of New
York Is Selected to Be
Attorney General.
BY EDWARD W. PIckARp

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S selection
for the new attorney general to
succeed Harry Daugherty may not
please the more progressive Of the
western Republicans, but 1t is likely
to meet the approval of the party gen
orally and probably of the country.
Harlan Fiske Stone Of New York is
the man chosen, and In him Mr., Cool
idge believes he has found what he
required for the place-an authority
on law and an able executive Mr.
Stone and the President are lifelong
friends and both are graduates from
Amherst For fourteen years Mr.
Stone was dean of the Columbia uni
versity law school, and he is director
of many corporations, including the
Atlanta and Charlotte Air Line rail-
way. He Is a big. forceful and able
man. and Mr.. Coolidge relies on him
to give the Department of Justice a
thorough housecleanlng.
Politics, geography and factions
were disregarded in this choice Of a
new tAltt law bulttls Hut Ahf 1builust
campaign managers believe 1t will
prove TO have been good politics. They
call attention to the Presidents sym
pathy with the ideas of the western
progresslves as evidenced in his offer
Of the navy portfolio to Judge Kenyon,
and 1t is now asserted in Washington
that the Coolidge supporters would be
more than willing TO have a western
progressive nominated for vice presl-
dent. The men most talked Of for
that place are Judge Kenyon, Senator
Borah and Senator Capper More
over, 1t is said Mr.. Coolidge wants
one of that group named for tenn
p0rary chairman of the Cleveland con-
vention to make the keynote speech.
Mr.. Stone visited the executive office
Wednesday and was introduced to the
administration leaders

A S WAS expected, General Luden-

treason in connection with the Munich
"beer-cellar putsch" Of last Novem-
Der, by the Munich court Hitler.
Krlebel and Weber were convicted and
received sentences Of five years in
prison. Their actual time of service
will be short. Ludendorff protested
the sentences of his comrades. He
was greeted with yOclferous cheers and
will be elected to the relchstag by the
radical nationalists known as the Ger

the elimination OF the increases in
rates on estate taxes in the house
measure and the elimination Of the
gift tax. His recommendations were
followed, and new excise taxes were
added on radio and nah jongg sets.
THOUGH public interest in the
various investigations in Washing
ton died down somewhat after the
resignation of Harry Daugherty, the
"probers" went right on with their
Inquiries. The Daugherty committee
obtained some evidence from II. NJ.
Peck Of Oklahoma City. a former spe-
cial assistant to the attorney general,
supposed to indicate that Daugherty
and Fall aided the Miller brothers of
the 101 ranch in defraudlng the Ponca
Indians Of land and possible fortunes
In oil. Then came Capt. ii. L. Scaife,
a former Department Of Justice agent,
who has been once before heard and
frequently mentioned in the inquiry.
He told a long story about wartime
graft, especially in the aircraft in
dustry. and implicated Secretary Of
War Weeks, Daugherty. Guy d. Goff.
former assistant attorney general, and
Charles Hayden, Boston banker and
director Of the Wright-Martin Air
craft company, all of whom, Scaife
declared, should be indicted for "con-
splracy to obstruct justice" in failing
to prosecute the aircraft company for
alleged graft. He also denounced
former Attorney General Palmer and
T. L. Chadbourne, a New York lawyer,
both Democrats. Captain Scaife boil
stored up his accusations with numer-
Gus letters and documents. He said
he worked up these war-graft cases
but was called Off by the hlgher-ups.
Thomas F. Lane, former legal ad-
wiser to the aircraft division Of the
War department, testified that his
copies of reports on aircraft frauds
had been taken from his desk and he
had been discharged because he was
going to appear before the committee.
Captain Volandt Of the air service ad-
mltted taking the papers and said Sec
retary Weeks had them. Thereupon,
Mr.. Weeks was subpoenaed and went
before the committee Friday to explain
his connection with the prosecution Of
the aircraft graft cases.

a long time and then White was per-
mltted to say that Edward Doheny's
contribution was $4,000, and not S75,-

 Rogers by Clever Steps

New York Jan. 1.-The tango steps of Count Ludwig Salm von Hoogstracten are said to have cap- tured the heart of Millicent Rogers and brought her to the altar at City hall last Tuesday when they arrived without wedding ring all because it was so sudden. The tango steps, how ever, are said not to have been so appealing to the young woman's par .nts. and there arc reports that Col onel H. H. Rogers, father of the bride frowned severely on the match. because the count is an Austrian and divorced.
 Telling Of his instant love for Miss Rogers, whom he met at a dance, tho count said
 Well. perhaps, Colonel Rogers did object because I'm an Austrian and divorced. but my reception by him was beyond criticism. He turned over his apartment 10 us, told us to stay month or two and then went away to Tuxedo"
 The count remarked that all was well with the colonel whereupon the countess laughingly, toying with cig- cite, interrupted him, saying Well. I wouldn't go SO far as 10 say that

 Latest census figures show that B. 000. 900 men and women in the United States are unable to read or write.

HEARS CHICAGO AND .
 MAC MILAN TALK.
C. F. Perry Listens in on Con- VersatiOn With Arctic Region

c. F. Perry, manager of the At Iantic and Pacific store on Hartford avenue, who lives on Stratford road, was about to close down his one tube radio set with a yawn after midnight yesterday, when he was startled by breaking in on a conversation that made him forget he was sleepy. He could hardly believe his senses but after few minutes realized that he was listening to a conversation be tween the mayor Of Chicago and Donald MacNlillan, the explorer, whose ship is frozen in for the win ter In the Arctic ocean.
 The Chicago executive sent greet ings to MacMillan and the crew and said that Chicago wished them sue cess In their adventure. He also spoke of having received greetings hy cable from the lord mayor of Lon -on. saying that it was the first time .6 history a cable message had ever ven received by Chicago from the capital of the British Empire.
 The conversation between Chicago and MacMillan was drawn out over long period. MacMillan was asked concerning the weather and replied that he was in the warmest part of the ship, the crows nest" which is at the top of the mast.
 When the chat was concluded, Mir. Perry heard the announcement that Florence MacAfillan would sing. He continued to sit with the phone glued to his ear and heard the song dis tinctly and the expression of pleas ure on the part of MacMillan.
 Mfr. Perry's radio set Is of the sim piest type. He bought the parts and his 1i year old boy, Kenneth, pupil at the Elihu Burritt school, put it to- gether.
