WALSH is FAVORED
FOR CONVENTION POST
Strongly Indicated Montana Sena.
tor Will Preside at Demo-
crat Farley.

Strong indications were apparent
in Democratic circles here today that
Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana
probably would be selected as per-
manent chairman of the party's ma
tionaI convention in New York.
Some Democratic leaders in Con-
gress said the question OF Senator
waIsh's selection virtually had been
settled. The Montana senator, how
ever. declined to comment on the re-
ports.
Walsh In F0refroak.
Senator Walsh has been for several
days In the forefront Of those men
toned for the place. Democratic
party chieftains met here yesterday
to consider minor convention assign
ments, and at that time it was said
the question Of the permanent chair
manship had not been brought up.
Later, however, George Brennan, ma
tionaI committeeman for Illinois, issued
a statement urging the selectioa Of
the Montana senator.
The selection Of Senator Walsh,
Brennan said, seemed inevitable in
view Of his distinguished record in
the oil inquiry in disclosing to the
country scandals without parallel in
the history of the nation"

Former Attorney General Daugh-
erty today notified the Senate COM
mittee, which has had his official con
duct under investigation for nearly
four months that he would neither

Daugherty, read the committee a
statement by his client declaring that
certain members of the committee
had made a desperate attempt to
"blacken" his reputation, and deny
ing that he had "profited in any IL
legal. corrupt or unethical way" from
his tenure of Office.

clared the federal court in Ohio, in
the litigation between the committee

committee to be engaged in IAN il
legal proceeding" He therefore gave
notice that his lawyers would with

Chairman Brookhart declared the
statement was reflection on the
committee, and said that he intended
to reply before letting matters go
further.
I'VE have proved the existence of
criminal conspiracy in Mr.. Daugh-
erty's household" Senator Brookhart
said. We have proved that tax re-
turns Of Mr.. Daugherty when he
took office showed he had no money,
but that before he left Office he had

ASKS COURT TO HALT
PAYMENT OF BONUS
New Yorker, Seeking Injunction
Says Bill Provides Mere Gift,
Not Debt Payment.

BENJAMIN Catchings, who describes
himself as a taxpayer Of the United
States, residing at IA West 57th
street, New York City. this afternoon
filed in the District Supreme Court a
suit for an injunction against John
Wingate Weeks, Secretary of War;
Curtis Wilbur, Secretary Of the Navy;
Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the
Treasury; Frank T. Hines, director of
the United States Veterans Bureau;
George n. Carter, public printer. and
Frank White, treasurer of the United
States, to prevent the accomplish
ment of the provision of the world
war adjusted compensation act, COM
monty known as the soldiers bonus.
The plaintiff asks the court to
decree that the public revenues of
the United States are a public trust
and to hold that the bonus act is in
fact and truth a mere bonus gift by
the federal Congress and not a pro-
vision for the payment OF any debt
or compensation owing in money by
the United States of America
Sees Waste n Result.
The court is also asked to say that
the bonus act, If executed, would ac-
complish waste and unlawful
diversion of the public fund.
The plaintiff sets out that during
May, 1924, without the approval of the
Chief Executive, the Congress pur-
ported to enact the compensation bill,
the ostensible and declared purpose
of which was and is Ito provide ad-
justed compensation for veterans of
the world war and for other pur-
poses" When the war Congress
found it necessary to summon the
world war veterans to make the
world safe for democracy. the plaint-
IN says, certain schedules and rates
Of compensation were fixed and set
tied for the services rendered, which
were very greatly in excess of the
rates and schedules allowed to the
soldiers and sailors Of every other
nation.
The true purpose Of the act, it is
asserted, is not, as stated, to pro
vide adjusted compensation, but to
make gift from the public Treasury
to that particular class of those who
helped to win the war, who wore the
public uniform. The intent Of the sixty
eighth Congress, it is claimed, is not
to adjust and pay compensation to
bonus to past soldiers for services
rendered and fully paid for FIVE years
ago.
Mr.. Catchings declares that the
sovereignty of America lies in the
people. The judges, the President
and the Congress are but agents and
servants, he states.
Mr.. Catchings appears as his own
counsel

J. J. COX FAVORS NEW BANK LAW
IN CANDIDACY FOR LEGlS-
ATTIRE

81 am going to bat for law that
will give absolute protection to every
deposit made in q state bank" de.
clared Attorney j. J. Cox in announc-
ing his candidacy for the state SEN
ate subject to the democratic pri-
maries.
There is something radically
wrong with the present state bank
something can be remedied by an
amendment to the law which will
guarantee payment of 100 cents on
the dollar for every bank deposit in
state institution"
The defects in the present system,
according to Attorney Cox, have been
made painfully evident during the
period of bank failures from which
the state is now emerging. Hundreds
of innocent depositors placing their
funds in state institutions supposedly
under rigid supervision by the state
authorities have suffered huge losses
through no fault of their own. The
state and not the individual should
bear the burden of such losses he de-
clares and tbs can be accomplished
by placing the credit of the state of
Arizona back of every state bank de-
posit.
Under the Cox plan, whenever a
state bank failed the state examiners
would take charge of the defunct in
stitution the same as now, but with
this difference-depositors would have
prior rights to payment in full of their
deposits without waiting for the out
come of receiverships, costly litiga-
tion and disappointment in the form
