General, declared to be in his pos
session, to be Inspected by the Sen
ate or its agents.
Meanwhile the committee will
proceed with its inquiry by a re8ump
ton of its public hearings today
when Chairman Brookhart plans to
turn more light on contracts be-
tween the Wright Martin Aircraft
Corporation and the Department Of
Justice arising from "overpayments'
on airplane contracts during the
war. The resolution to cite NJ. S.
Daugherty for contempt, as ordered
by the committee, will seek a diff
ferent procedure than was taken
by the Senate toward Harry F. Sin
clair for declining to testify before
the Senate oil committee. The
Senate asked the district attorney
in Washington to obtain an indict
ment before the criminal court
against Mr.. Sinclair, whereas the
Daugherty committee will ask kthc
arrest Of the banker and his APP
pearance before the Senate itself
for judgement.
Precedents exist for both actions,
it was said, but the step was order
ed because it will permit Mr.. Daugh-
erty at almost any stage Of the pre-
ceedings to purge himself by fur
nishing the evidence desired.

STATE HIGHWAY DEPT.
MAY GET MORE FUNDS
Two-thirds of Gasoline Tax
Money TO Be Demanded July
1, II Is Stated

ATLANTA, April 5.-Attorney
Seward Smith, of the State High
way Department, after studying
the provisions of the law, will rec
om.mend to the State Highway De-
partment that it make requisition
on the Governor July 1 for two
thirds of the total returns from the
three cents gasoline tax beginning
that date If Attorney Smiths
opinion is upheld this will mean
the highway department will get
half million dollars more this
year and quite a million dollars
more in 1925.
The opinion exists to some ex-
tent over the state that the high
way department already gets the
entire benefit Of the three cents a
gallon gasoline tax, but that is err
roneous. AS matter of fact, only
one-third of the total goes to that
department, though the ultimate
purpose of the legislature in en-
acting the gasoline tax law was that
tWo-thirds of the total should be
turned over tie that department for
road purposes, and such provision
already is made. Under the terms
of the law one cent goes to the
counties, one cent into the treas
ury to offset the Western & At
lantic rental and oRe cent goes to
the highway fund.
The Western & Atlantic Rail
road rent notes to the state were
funded in 1921 for a period of five
years, which period expires in
1926, and the gasoline tax to the
amount Of one cent a gallon has
been turned over to the treasury
eyer since that tax has been levied,
under provision Of existing laws.
Attorney Seward Smith now
takes the position, which will be
the basis of his recommendation to
the state Highway Department,
that the controlling language in the
law is contained in that portion of
the three-cent gasoline tax act,
which says:
"All monies collected under the
provisions Of said act, as amended
herein, shall be paid into the state
treasury; one third of the entire
fund shall be credited to the gem
eral fund for the purpose Of sup
plying the deficiency arising out
Of the discount of the rental of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad"
That language, says Attorney
Smith, is specific and mandatory
and is the controlling clause inso-
far as application of one-third of
the fund goes.
"The act of the legislature"
says Mr.. Smith, "sets out in clear
language the purpose for which
diversion of one-third of this fund
was intended, and just as clearly
defines the deficiency which is In
tended to be covered by that fund,

JAP EXCLUSION BILL
WILL PASS IN SENATE
Coolidge May Veto Bill Now
Being ArdentIy Champion
ed By Senator johnson

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Irre-
spective If any direful consequences
the Senate viii follow the lead
of the House in enacting a Japan
csc exclusion provision in the perd-
ing immigration bill.
Senator Oscar w. Underwood, ST
Alabama, in declaring his intention
of supporting the provision, declar-
ed that unless the White HOUSE
should make a drive against the pro
vision it would go over with an OPP
position of not more than six votes.
Democrats favor it, apparently to
the man. Senator Z. d. Smith, of
South Carolina this afternoon,
spoke in its behalf, and declared
his sole regret was the fact thar
Congress had not given the Japan
csc government in advance an in
timation that it intended to abro-
gate the so called "gentlemen's
agreement"
Senator W. J. Harris and Walter
f. George, ofGeorgia, have declar-
ed for the anti-Japanese provision.
Southerns Justify their SUPPORT on
the fact that japanese cannot be-
come citizens, and like other color
ed races, are not subject to amalga-
nation.
DEVELOPMENTS following the pas
sage of the bill including the anti,
provision are awaited here
with unconcealed interest. The
more than possibilities are listed as
follows:
a)-Ultimately, war against
Japan.
(2)-Probably the bins rejection
by the President with the result that
in the forthcoming election he would
lose the Pacific Coast.
(3)-The resignation of Charles
r. Hughes, Secretary Of State, in
the event the Senate (as it wodld
do), oyerrode the veto Of the ex
ecutive.
Award of the political feature Of
the situation, Senator Hiram John
son, of California, Presidential can
ardently supports the
Japanese exclusion provision, and
declares that Japan's pride will not
be hurt, but its ambition will be
hurt
His attitude is a challenge to TIE
President to veto the bill He YVES
in consultation throughout the af-
ternoon with Democratic leaders.

SHINES had expressly wished
that the color Of black be avoided
