L DENDORFF, Adolf Hitler and
others were put on trial in Munich for
their part in the comic opera Bavarian
'putsch" of last November. Court,
prosecutors and spectators were all
most friendly toward the accused and
there was every sign that the trial
would be farce.

INVESTIGATION of the oil reserve
4 leases went on merrlly throughout
the week. c. Bascom Slemp, secretary
to the President, was the first witness.
and he told the committee he dined
frequently with Fall and e. b. Nc
Lean while at Palm Beach, Fla. and
that he urged Fall to make clean
breast of the 100000 transaction. Con-
cerning that matter and all else that
he knew Of the oil affair. Mclean was
called on to tell the senator's Their
determination to question him closely
was strengthened by the reading of
many kilograms that passed between
Washington and Florida, revealing the
strenuous efforts made to call off SEN
ator Walsh from his intention of put
ting Mclean on the witness stand.
The messages showed A. Mitchell Pal
mer tried to induce Senator Under
wood to influence Walsh, and the
names of William. G. McAdoo and his
son Francis appeared. Mclean, 1t ap-
peared, leased wire from Washing
ton to his Palm Beach cottage and the
chief White House telegrapher was
engaged to operate it. The committee
decided to call Mr.. Palmer to the
stand.

EARLY In the week the Republican
IL national committee took q hand in
the oil controversy by Issuing state
ment defending the policy Of leasing
navy oil reserves and undertaking to
place the blame, IL any. on Democrats.
1t said.
1.-The leasing act. which gives to the
secretary of the navy and the secre-
tary of the Interior the right and pow
er to lease public oil reserves to pri-
vate interests WAS fathered by Walsh.
"That particular section of the act
under which Secretary DENLY acted in
signing leases to Doheny and Sinclair
was rot only suggested by Secretary
Daniels. but was written by him prac-
tically word for word as 1t now ap-
pears in the law. He frankly stated he
wanted such power in order to enable
him to do exactly what Secretary Den
by subsequently did.
THE leasing act received Its first
application under Daniels and John
Barton Payne, when oil lands both
within and without the naval oil re-
serves were leased to private interests
to be developed by them on royalty
basis"
Mr.. Payne was secretary of the In
terror and has been mentioned by his
friends as a presidential possibility.
The committees statements met with
denials from Daniels and others.

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Daugherty Won't Resign
and Will Be Investigated
Reed on McAdoo.
BY EDWARD W. pIckARD

n TTORNEY GENERAL DAUGH-
"A ERTY. less complaisant than Mr..
DENLY, will not get out of the cabinet
voluntarily-at least not for the pres
ent. President Coolidge will not ask
for the resignation of the nations
chief law officer. The senate will go
ahead with Its proposed Investigation
of the conduct of Mr. Daugherty and
the Department of Justice, without OPP
position by the administration forces.
These conclusions were reached the
middle of the week. after three days
of earnest consultations In the White
House. The President conferred at
length with William NJ. Butler, his
campaign manager; Frank w. Stearns,
his Boston hacker. and with other
party leaders. He reached the conclu
sion. 1t Is said, that Mr.. Daugherty's
continued presence in the cabinet
would be very Injurious to the chances
OF the Republican party, especially in
Ohio. and that he should resign. This
concurred with the advice given the
President by Senators Lodge and Pep
per. But the attorney general himself
was still to be dealt with. On We'd
nescay he went to the White House
early and talked with Mr.. Coolidge for
an hour No results, Mr.. Butler called
again. and in the afternoon Mr.. Daugh-
erty returned. He declared with final
ity that he would not quit the cabinet
unless his resignation were requested
in writing, since he was innocent Of
nny wrongdoing and was ready to be
Investigated by the senate committee.
President Coolidge. through Secretary
Slemp, then gave out his decision not
TO demand Mr.. Daugherty's resigna-
tion. and the latter gentleman issued
this statement:
"It Is not my purpose to even con-
slider rendering my resignation MS at
torney general until after a fair hear
ing on charges preferred against me-"
The attorney general at once left
Washington for Chicago on business
connected with the prosecution Of
Charles r. Forbes, former director Of
the veterans bureau. From there he
planned to 20 to Florida, not return
ing to the capital for two weeks. By
that time the Investigation OF his con-
duct presumably will have begun. 1t
is believed in Washington that Mr..
Daugherty will resign at the conclu-
sion Of the inquiry, which he is conf
dent will result In his vindication.
Those who urge his elimination point
out that. even If his honesty and eff
cheney are established by the investi-
CATION. his admissions Of having spec
ulated In Sinclair Oil stocks after en-
tering the Harding cabinet are confess
sions of grave lmproprety and indis-
erection.

N EMOCRATS in the lower house,
~ assisted by the insurgent Repub-
licans. did lot OF things to the Mellon
tax bill. Over the protest Of the sec
retary of the treasury they boosted
the maximum tax on estates and in
herltances from 25 to 40 per cent, with
an amendment by which an allowance
would be made for taxes paid on in
heritances under state laws. Next,
after an exciting debate and several
near-fights, the house adopted an
amendment by Green Of Iowa. one Of
the agricultural group, which imposes
tax ranging from / per cent on gifts
worth $4,000 to 40 per cent on those
of S1O,00O,OOO or more, all gifts under
$4,000 being exempt. The cigarette
tax was then raised from So to 81 per
thousand, Representative Garner as
serting this would add S60OOO00O a
year In revenue, and the clause in the
Mellon bill doing away with the tax
on theater admissions amounting to SO
cents or less was adopted. The tax on
auto tires and parts was cut in half.
1t was agreed that n final vote on the
measure would be taken before the
end of the week and Representative
Longworth, majority leader. spent two
days in final effort to arrange com
promise on the maximum surtax rate.
Secretary Mellon was advised by
Senator Smoot that the senate Is Just

is passed by the house.
