Washington, Feb. 20. -- Chairman Johnson of the immigration commit tee told the house today he had re- ceived an "impudent' protest from the Roumanian legation against pro- visions of the new immigration bill.
 The protest had been forwarded to the ,mmittee by Secretary Hughes, and was read on the house floor by Mir. Johnson. 1t said;
 "lt should be considered that the adoption Of the census of 1890 as a basis for the new immigration quota would not only deeply wound the pride Of the ioumanlan people, but also strongly affect their material ia- terests, inasmuch as Roumanian im- migrants by their savings. increase the amount of stable currency avail able for commercial and Financial purposes in Houmania.

 After the noon hour when there was an appreciable fall of the tide ii was apparent that a large number of the cottages along the sandy beach had been damaged. From the vantage point of Fort Trumbull looking south it appeared that many of the small structures had been twisted around by the water and some were in a jam. Plank walks. fences, doorsteps and out buildings had been washed upon the marshes or carried out in the little bay formed by the island. The ice on the marshes had broken up and some of it was swept against the buildings while other portions were heaped in the drainage chan nels.

Worse Than BOIshevism,
 Declares McAdoo, Urging 1 Back to Honesty"
By Tie Associated Press.

By Tie Associated Press. ansas City, Mo-, Feb. 20.-Betray- 7 trust by high government of presents greater menace to 'cracy than bolshevism or any of the alleged evil influences, William G. McAdoo, candidate for the democratic nomination for presi- dent, declared in an address on the 1 train platform at the Union station here today.
 There can be no government with corruption in high places" Mir. Me- Adoo said. This is question of the life Of the American nation. We must bring honesty back to government"
 The investigation must go on, he said, until all of the facts are brought out, adding that he did not wish to see an attempt to "Whitewash," any, one.
 Mir. McAdoo reasserted his stand for a soldiers bonus and declared that the government had been unfair to those in the war.
 The veterans bureau, whose sa- cred duty was to protect and care for the disabled and sick, stole money from these boys" he said. What can be said of a government so bad as that?"
 "The democrats didn't debauch the government. Through the eight years of Woodrow Wilson's administration and in the eight years that Grover Cleveland was president, there was no such corruption. It remained for the administration which promised the people that the best minds would rule, to betray the government"
 Regarding the approval Of demo- cratic tax plan by congress, Mir. Me- Adoo said:
 Yesterday a new and fresh break of cleanliness and patriotism came out of congress. The republicans, who would refuse our service men bonus, would have reduced the taxes on the rich and made the burden Of the poor man harder"

.DOHENY EXPLAINS
 BIG 0IL DEALINGS Tells How His Companies Ought
 to Make Hundred Million SCOPES AT POLITICIANS
Commenting on Washington Hearing, He Says They Remind Him of Pack of Wolves Rowling Around a Hunt CTS Camp.

New York, Feb 2o.-Edward L. Doheny, in . statement to the Wall street Journal today, defended his lease of the Elk Hills oil reserve and explained his declaration that his oil companies should make profit of $100,00o,000 from the reserve.
 There were two hearings" he said, and only the latter seemed to at- tract attention. It was in the hearing previous to my going to California that I testified concerning the possi- bilities of a sl00,000,O00 profit from this California lease.
 Naval reserve No. 1 consists of about 32,000 acres of land. Under the most advantageous conditions that could exist, if it were not all loose sand, high gas pressure and light oil, it would take at least one well for every ten acres-that is 3,200 wells for 32,00O acres.
 Under conditions which have thus far existed and now exist those wells will cost $3o,000 to s4o,00o a well. The wells at Santa To, Signal Hill and Huntington Beach will cost on an av- tTd6c VI ohtI &iVVsVVV d htll.
 "Thirty-two hundred wells at s35,- 900 we'll would represent an invest ment of over sl00,o0o,ooo for wells alone"
 Mir. Doheny explained that to ex- tract oil first investment of about sI00, 100000 confronts the exploiter, with additional funds for transport ing and delivery aboard ship.
 Much Private Property
 Pointing out that there is consider able private property within the boundaries of the reserve as well as bordering on it, Mir. Doheny con- tlnued:
 AS these privately-owned proper ties are drilled, oil and gus pressure within the reserve are decreased rapidly and the number of wells and, drilling on the, reserve, increases with the activity in the sur fields
 Keeping these facts in mind will to be done in order to realize a profit of s1oo,eoo,0oe which l said it was fair to anticipate could be realized from proper operation under the government leases. Tn period of from 20 tc H5 years by in- telligent handling one who is willing to make an investment Of q minimum of say si25.000,000 with the under that the maximum Invest ment required may be us much as g. co. 100000 ought to be able to realize the prift have referred to-"
 Giving his impressions of the in- in Washington, Mir. said.
 Tt reminded me Of old times in the west when one Of our dogs at mating season joined the wolves The wolves would surround our camp at night and I could hear my own dog barking among those wolves as they owled around us. It seemed to me when was on the stand in Wash ngton that I could hear the bark of my own friends in the pack Of po- itical wolves"

 tq!I alg}S lnono3uuO.

WashlngtoL. -.D. ~. -- -ALcvrmvy Gen. Daugherty has reaffirmed to President Coolidge his determination not to resign under fire. He visited the White House this morning, talked over the situation with the chief executive and returned to the department of justice to dictate a statement affirming his decision to stay in the cabinet.
 It was insisted by those close to the attorney general that he and the president had found themselves in complete accord.
 White House officials were silent. They would not affirm or deny that tirement had been discussed at the conference.
 The visit of the attorney general to the executive offices had revived a belief among those who have attacked him in the senate that his retire. ment was imminent.
 It was even indicated that some of those demanding his resignation were withholding for the present any re- neTal of the fight in confidence that it was unnecessary.
 Denies Accusations
 In his statement the attorney gem eral denied the charges made in the senate yesterday by Senator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, concerning his administration of the department of justice.
 Io aaid I,bn ,,yat,a,,ad ,ka annar tunity to meet any charge against my my administration" which might be Involved in the senate resolution or dering an investigation.
 "I have read the speech of Senator Wheeler, delivered in the senate yes terday," the statement said. "He makes certain charges against me in my official capacity as attorney of the United States.
 These charges are made in gener- al terms. deny oach and all of them specifically and generally.
 "i know the facts. and they have at all times been available to the sem ator yet neither the senator nor any one for him has asked me or the de- partmcnt of justice in reference to the charges made.
 "He has been misled and at the proper time the truth in regard to all these matters will be given to the public.
 Was Once Cleared
 These charges were all exploited before the judiciary committee Of the house last winter in the impeachment proceedings against me and after long and careful hearing and invcsti- gation the committee by vote of 20 to i. party lines being forgotten. de- clared them 10 be unfounded.
 Later the resolution Of the com nittee was formally adopted by the ! house and I was exonerated Of every l charge presented against me. The | same influence that inspired the im- ] peachment proceedings last winter arc behind the present agitation in the senate.
 "If necessary for me to go through his ordeal again. welcome the op- | ,ortunity to meet any charge against ny administration Of the department ,f justice"
