DAUGHTER ANNE CAUSES REUNION
 OF STILLMANS
Wedding Brings Parents Together For Brief
 Time Only |.

MT. PLEASANT, N. T., Oct. 1S.- James A. Stillman and Mrs. Eff Pot ter Stillman, who have thrown the black mud of scandal at each other for nearly three years, were reunited For brief few minutes late Saturday for the first time since Stillman began his suit for divorce three years ago.
 The occasion was the wedding of Anne StilIman, daughter of the multi millionaire banker, who mas married to Henry Pomeroy Davison, son of another New York multimillionaire.
 Stillman arrived in his car at '.Mon- danne," the home of Mrs. Stillman, after most of the guests were already lined up. Mrs. Stillman was then still upstairs. Several hundred persons watched what followed. Stillman min he knew, meanwhile keeping an eye on the staircase.
 Appear To Be Friends
 The brides mother appeared at the head of the stairs a few minutes later. Stillpan, without hesitation. detached himself from a group and walked to the foot. They met there, nodded and con tersed for several minutes-friends to all appearances. They then separated.
 It was learned later that legal pro- ceedings involving their troubles, now in the court of appeals, were not dis cussed. a.
 The two stood few feet apart dur ing the ceremony as they watched their son, James A. Stillman. Jr., give way his sister. The ceremony was per formed by the Rev. Endicott Peabody, of the Groton school in Massachusetts.
 The Stillmans were not seen together again, however, until the reception. when Stillman joined the line of depart ing guests and wished his wife a pleas ant goodbye. The bride and groom left directly after the reception.
 $I,OOO,O 900 For Gift .4.
 Stillman spent solid million in present to daughter Anne, it was re- ported. The gift, pearl necklace, is said to have been the rarest string of gems ever purchased by an American and it took more than 20 years to match them.
 The prospective meeting of the long separated StillmaHs had caused a. ru. mor-in New York society that the two were to stage a reconciliation at Anne's marriage, but there was nothing to con firm it beyond their friendly greetings.

 Made In Spicific Terms

MouC HI 6piClllC lermS
 WASHINGTON. March 12.-The statement presented to the Senate in- vestigating committee today by counsel for Attorney General Daugherty, which was later admitted to the record, stated that Mir. Daugherty ''resents and con- demns the indiscriminate broadcasting of unsubstantiated rumors, whispered criticisms and false and scandalous statements, for which no one is re- sponsible."
 The Attorney General said he wei comed the opportunity however to ex- pose falsehood and scandal and to es- tahlish truth"
 He asked that if anything developed that "warrants the formulation of an express charge against the attorney general he demands that it be formu- lated in direct and express terms" and that he have opportunity at once to answer.
 In connecton with the charge in the resolution that the attorney general had failed to prosecute Albert R. Fsll. Harry F. Sinclair, E. l.. Doheny, c. R. Forbes and their co-conspirators. the statement quoted Mir. Daugherty's pub lished letter to President Coolidge urging him to appoint two outstanding lawyers to deal with the ol lease mat ters, noted the appointment of former Senator Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts for this purpose, and said that the en- tire matter, with the consent and ap- proval of the attorney general, the President and the Senate, had been taken out of the hands of the depart. ment of justice"
 In connection with the Forbes mat ter, the statement recites the appoint men of special assistant to the at 'torney general to carry forward these

ACCOUNT DENIED
Columbus, O., Agent Says Hayes
 Number Never Existed


 COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 12.-(By the Associated Press. )-Deniai that a William R. A. Hayes, No. 2'' account was carried by Jesse Smith with his firm was made tonight by w. Rufus A. Hayes, manager of the Columbus branch of Ungerleider and company, following testimony today of Roxie Stinton, former wife of Jesse Smith, personal friend of Attorney General Daugherty. '' Z "The William R. A. Hayes, No. 2, account" said Mir. Hayes, twas in no way related to either Jesse Smith or Mrs. Roxie Stinson Smith. It very probable that Mrs. Smith knowing that the account maintained for her by Mir. Smith was known as William R. A. Hayes No. 8, jumped to the conclusion that there must be a No. 2 account. Nothing like that is truS.
 ''The only account we ever had with MT. Smith was the one carried in his own name and was. closed two years ago."
 Mir. Hayes said he had nothing to conceal and that he expected to leave for Washington tomorrow to testify before the Daugherty Investigating committee

AGREEMENT ON
 SOLDIER BONUS
Insurance Plan To Be Before House Probably By Next
 Monday

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Terms of the new soldier bonus bill providing paid-up life insurance policies, were agreed upon today by a subcommittee of the House ways and means commit tee. and will be taken before that body for decision tomorrow.
 Chairman Green announced he would attempt tc have the measure acted upon next Monday by the House under sus- pension of the rules which would limit debate, prevent amendments and permit vote in one day.
 The insurance policies, it was de- cided. would be 20-year endowment and valued on the basis of length of service of each veteran, with $1 allowed for each day of home service and $1.25 for each day of overseas service, but with the first 60 days excluded. To this total would be added 25 per cent and the face value of the policy would be determined by computing the total amount of ad- iusted service credit plus the 20 years of compounded per cent interest.
 In figuring the adjustment service credit, maximums of $500 would be allowed for home service and $625 for overseas service. It was estimated then that the maximum face value of any certificate would be about $1, 400 for veteran who served full time at home of $500 for one who served overseas.
 Under previous agreement all veterans up to the rank of captain in the army and marine corps and lieu tenant. senior grade, in the navy would be eligible to the policies. It also was decided to include the dependents of all veterans who have died since the close of the war.

wood in the White House, Governor Brandon declared Wednesday in com menting on the result of the presidential primary. the preceding .day.
 Alabama has done herself proud" declared the governor, "in presenting to the nation a great leader. Now that the state is behind him. an Alabama man will be the next president. The people should unite as standing together as one big family behind Oscar w. Underwood"
 Governor Brandon clearly indicated that while he was an enthusiastic sup porter of the senator in the presidential campaign he entertained no bitterness against those who espoused other candi- dates in the election. The battle was over between Alabamians, he thought, and all sources of bitterness should be forgotten in the united effort of the people of the state to make its dis tinguished citizen the leader of the nation.
 Mrs. Marie Bsnkhead Owen, director of the department of archives and his- tory and active in the work of organiz- ing women's Underwood clubs, also plainly indicated that she thought the ''war was over" in Alabama and she would welcome supporters of the de- feated candidate in the Underwood ranks that would strive for further vic tories in other states.

ACTIVE IN GEORGIA Underwood Forces Busy After
 That DelegatiOn

ATLANTA, Ga, March 12.-Senator Underwood's big victory in the Alabama presidential primary yesterday, in which he led hs nearest opponent, l.. 3. Mus grove, by more than 25,000 votes will have an important effect upon his can didacy in other southern states, in the opinion of c. c. Carlin, former Vir- gini& congressman and now general manager of the Underwood campaign, who conferred here today with Georgia supporters of the Alabama senator's candidacy. Mir. Carlin said:
 "Mr. Underwood's big mapority is Alabama's answer to- the statements that his home state would not support him for the presidency.
 T am not definitely informed as to the nature of the charges made by Mir. Musgrove as to fraud in Mobile and other counties, but I would say they have no more foundation than other charges made by him during the cam paign. Mir. Underwood's victory was won in spite of the opposition of the Ku Klux Klan. They fought him and they went down to defeat along with Musgrove."

MILAN EXPLAINS FALL TELEGRAM
 TO SENATE BODY
tcsntihusd srsm Pass oae,

a secret agent of the department of justice "a month or SO" after Presi- dent Harding had been inaugurated. He said he was given a code, n little card, and a badge" Stating that he had performed mo service or any very brilliant character" the witness said the principal purpose was to enable him through use of the badge to get through police lines in strange cities when he was travelling with MT. liar ding.
 Others Questioned
 Those questioned by the committee before Mclean took the stand were E.. W. Smithers, chief of communications at the White House; E. W. Startling of the presidential secret service de- tail; r. E. McKenna, doorkeeper of the executive offices; and J. V. Fitz- gerald, former city editor of the Post.
 Smithers testified he had asked for the job of manning Mclean 's~private telegraph wire to Palm Beach because he needed the extra money, and that there was nothing improper in this employment; Startling said the message sent by him to Mclean and resurrected by the committee subpoena had refer red to the employment of one of his friends in the publishers household {; McKenna told the committee that he merely had telegraphed Mclean at the latter's request about the time of the departure of Secretary Slemp for Florida.
 From Fitzgerald the committee .J sage which he sent to Mclean, advis- ing him that Senator Walsh had pos session of two stories, one that Mc- Lean was too i'll to testify. Asl the other he was playing golf in Florida. The witness testified that it was his idea to suggest to the publisher that he see his doctor and have the doctor tell the committee that he could not come to Washington at the time, be- cause of sinus trouble from which Me Lean then was, and still is suffer- ing.
 Having concluded at last its inves- tigation into the meaning of the Me Lean telegrams the committee tomor- row will turn to two new phases of the inquiry reports on the examination of the books of stock brokerage firms, and the sending of marines to Teapot Dome to clear it of alleged squatters.,
 Immeditely upon taking the stand to- day, Mclean read a prepared state ment in which, among other things, he flatly denied tht he had made any proffers for immunity in consideration of the disclosure of sensational facts" He declared that the only consideration he had sought was that which would excuse him from appearing on the witness stand.
 Observing that the witness had omi ted from his statement any reference to the $100,OO0 loan to Fall. Sena- tor Walsh asked if he desired to make anw further statement in relation to that matter.
 No sir" the publisher replied.
 Asked if ther ever really had been any stubs forf the checks he said he had given Fall, he responded:
 "Why, yes, there were, senator, to the best of my recollection, as l told you."
