'SLEUTH' BURNS IS
CALLED BY CHIEF
TO FIGHT CRITICS
Noted Detective Has Been
Sitting in at Hearings
Prepare Statement,
BB United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Attorney
General Daugherty today called in
William J. Burns, head of the Depart
ment Of Justice secret service, to help
him prepare a counter-attack on his
rit1cs.
Burns and Rush Holland, assistant
20 Daugherty, who recently has been
sitting in at hearings of the Senate
Teapot Dome committee, spent several
hours In Daugherty's apartment. 1t
VAS intimated there might be a state
nent later replying to the attack on
Oaugherty by Senator Wheeler, Mon
ana, author of a restitution for in
Festigation of Daugherty's admin.
stration.
AT the White House it was stated no
developments were expected today in
connection with the recommendation
of ADMINISTRATION Senators that Pres
dent Coolidge ask Daugherty to re-
sign.
Senator Wheeler's resolution will be
aiken up in the Senate today or Fri
DAY, White House officials said.
Should Spare Trouble
Since Coolidge, up TO now, has let it
be known he would not ask for
Daugherty's resignation unless spe-
clflc evidence finding Daughtery culpa-
Bile in the oil or other scandals were
produced, the line Of argument ii-
rected at Daugherty is he should re-
sign to spare the party unnecessary
additional trouble.
Unless the President or attorney
general acts very soon Administra-
ton leaders told the President it will
be impossible to withhold action on
the Wheeler resolution condemning
Daugherty and providing for an in
vestisation Of his department.
Lodge told the President the resolu-
ton would pass by large majority.
But Lodge and other leaders want
TO avoid its adoption if they can.
Will Hurt Party
While Coolidge has refused, in the
DENLY case, to recognize the Senate's
right to dictate to him regarding Cabi-
net officers, it was pointed out the
Administrations standing with the
country would hurt by adoption of
another resolution condemning a Sec
ond Cabinet member.
Senator Wheeler, author of the
Daugherty investigation measure, said
he had been promised action some
time today.
If he does not get it Wheeler will
demand the Senate discharge the
audit and control committee, which
has his resolution, and consider it
immediately.

The bankers complete statement
follows:
THE courts are an effective means
to bring out facts. I therefore vel
come this court proceeding. I hope
that 1t is the forerunner of other court
proceedings. There is nothing this
country needs so much at the mo-
ment as some court proceedings initi-
ated by grand juries and pressed by
incorruptible prosecuting attorneys.
No Answer Pressed
twenty-five months ago, in April,
1921, the Senate, by ultimatum resolu-
ton, called for the facts in the Tea
pot Dome leases. That resolution was
so framed the red flag of suspicion
was run up. For weeks no answer
was received and none was urgently
recently, the search for the facts was
made without vigor. What were news
papers doing for twenty-five months?
What was Senator Walsh doing? 1t
looks as If somebody had been asleep
at the switch, or perhaps asphyxiated
at the switch. At least no court pro-
ceedings have yet resulted from the
Teapot Dome situation.
''Nor have there been, so far as
am aware, any court proceedings ini-
tiated as a result of the criminal mis-
management of the Veterans Bureau.
Matter OF Record
THE wholesale dishonesty there is
- rtrY,aov-
of official record in the committee pro-
ceedings and the proceeding of Con-
gress and Mr.. Forbes, former director
and his friends have as yet en-
countered no court proceedings.
There have been no court proceed
ings or even a thorough investigation
of the alien property administration.
Congress today is spending its time
solemnly and partisanly debating an
income tax measure. 1t is like dis
cussing the size OF faucet you would
put in barrel leaking between half
the slaves. If we can have honest
administration of the taxes collected,
the rate of income tax will take care Of
itself.
Graver Than War
''If this country were invaded by an
alien foe and I were a young man,
believe 1 would offer myself for its
defense. It has been attacked by
something more dangerous than mil.
itary invasion by foreign foe.
Corruption has attacked the Gov
ernment at its heart.
Il believe I am patriotic citizen
and I propose to offer the same service
in fighting this danger a young man
should offer in fighting foreign inva-
sion. I am really enlisted In this mat
ter because of profound CONVICTION.
My attitude hides no motives of par
tisanship. have been a lifelong Re
publican.
Il believe the facts are not fully
presented to the country and even
when presented are not being acted
upon. l am prepared to spend quite
as much as has been asked for in

United Press STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-The
Senate Teapot Dome committee was
preparing on two lines of hearing
when public hearings are resumed
Monday. These are:
/. Questioning of Harry f. Sinclair.
lessee Of Teapot Dome, concerning the
making OF that lease with Albert B.
Fall. former Secretary of the In
terror, and financial transactions with
Fall and others growing out of the
leasing.
2. Investigation to disclose stock
deals by other Government officials
besides Davis Ellcins. Senator from
West Virginia, who admitted market
operations in Sinclair Oil. but said
he had no tip and made no profit.

Sinclair Star Witness

Sinclair is now regarded by the
committee as its star witness. Upon
his testimony also the Presidents spe-
cial counsel, Atlee Pomerene and
owen J. Roberts, are depending for
the clinching of their case showing
fraud and corruption in connection
with leasing of at least one OF the oil
reserves.
Whether Sinclair's testimony also
viii provide necessary evidence for
criminal prosecutions is another ques-
don being considered.
Recent testimony before the com
mittee has tended TO show Fall and
Sinclair were negotiating for Teapot
Dome even before the reserves had
been transferred from the Navy to the
interior department and to prevent
the negotiations from being upset, Sin
clair paid or agreed to pay more than
So 900 900 in all to other claimants.
Senator Lenroot, chairman of the
committee. said today he had not been
in communication with Sinclair, who
landed in New York Wednesday from
Europe. Bu- Sinclair will be here

Four Reasons For Success Of Drive, Chairman

There are four reasons why the peo- pie of Alabama should contribute to the million dollar equipment fund for Alabama college at Montevallo, the drive in Birmingham to be opened on July g, according to Dr. Henry M. Ed. monds, chairman for Birmingham and Jefferson county, and there are four groups that will be benefited by it.
