Russian Chemist Makes
Strong Wire From Salt

A wonderful discovery has beeE
made by Russian scientist, whe
claims to have found method of max.
ing wire stronger than steel out Of
common rock salt. His discovery Ia
the result Of a series of extraordinary
experiments in the mutability Of
metals by structural chemistry.
The scientist found that by submit
ting the rock salt to high heat pres
sure before the elementary crystals be-
gan to decay he arrested the decay by
changing the structural arrangement
of the atoms and molecules, and this
change increased the durability and
ductility of the substance 300 times,
says London Tit-Bits. He is continu-
ing his experiments with other metal
substances.
If this discovery can be applied to
metals it will revolutionize the world.
It will mean, amongst other things.

TARLY in the week the Republican
II national committee took hand In
the oil controversy by issuing a state
ment defending the policy Of leasing
navy oil reserves and undertaking to
place the blame, If any, on Democrats.
It said.
'The leasing act, which gives to the
secretary of the navy and the secre-
tarv 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 not only suggested by Secretary
Daniels, but was written by him prac-
ticaIIy word for word as it now ap-
pears in the law. He frankly stated ne
wanted such power In order to enable
him to do exactly what Secretary Den
by subsequently did.
"The leasing act received its f1rst
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 a 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

a TTORNEY GENERAL DAUGH-
"A ERTY, less complaisant than Mr..
DENLY, will not get out of the cabinet
voluntarily 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 it's 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 M. Butler, his
campaign manager; Frank w. Stearns,
his Boston hacker, and with other
party leaders. He reached the conclu-
sion, it 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
nesGay 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
any wrongdoing and was ready to be
investigated by the senate committee.
President Coolidge, through Secretary
SIemp. then gave out his decision not
to demand Mr. Daugherty's resigna-
ton, and the latter gentleman issued
this statement:
sIt is not my purpose to even con-
slider rendering my resignation as at
torney general until after 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 go 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 vindieation.
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 improperly 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 tie sec
rotary of the treasury they boosted
the maximum tax on estates and in
heritances from % 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
a tax ranging from l per cent on gifts
worth $4,000 to 40 per cent on those
of S1O,OOOOO0 or more, all gifts under
$4,000 being exempt The cigarette
fax was then raised from So to 81 per
thousand. Representative Garner as
sorting this would add $60O00,OOO a
year in revenue, and the clause In the
Mellon bill doing away with the tax
on theater admissions amounting TO 0O
cents or less was adopted. The tax on
auto tires and parts was cut in hail.
1t was agreed that final vote on the
measure would be taken before the
end of the week and Representative
Longworth, majority leader, spent two
DAYS in a final effort to arrange com
promise on the maximum surtax rate.
Secretary Mellon was advised by
Senator Smoot that the senate is just
as radical as the house, if not more
so. and that there is little chance OF
any material reduction in tax rates be-
low the levels fixed in the bill as it
is passed by the house.

CENATOR JIM REED of Missouri,
y he of the serpent's tongue, formal
ly opened his campaign for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination by
characteristic speech in st. Louis. Pes
simistic and bitter as usual, he de-
clared that mot one-tenth of the cor
ruption and iniquity which has exist
ed'' in oil lease affairs has yet been
laid bare, and then he exercised his
peculiar talents in excoCfating William
G. McAdoo, his leading rival Citing
an array of alleged facts and figures,
he undertook to show that McAdoo
expected to receive $1,094,OOO in legal
fees from g. L. Doheny, the oil mag
nate, from the Charles w. Morse in
terestsmand the motion-picture con-
Germs, although he did not appear in
a single lawsuit" Winding up his re-
lation of McAdoo and oil, Reed said it
was not until on February j, when Do
heny was compelled to disclose the
fact that he had employed Mr.. Nc
Adoo," that s'Mr. McAdoo was seized
by spasm of virtue and resigned"
"The sole reason he quit" the sena-
tor concluded, twas because his en-
ployment had become known.

published story that McAdoo re-
ceived a fee of about 100000 for rep

firm had that job, but placed the fee
at $150,000, of which he received his

INVESTIGATION of the oil reserve
4 leases went on merrily throughout
the week. G. Bascom Slemp, secretary
to the President, was the first witness,
and he told the committee he dined
frequently with Fall and &. B. Nc
Lean while at Palm Beach, Fla, and
that he urged Fall to make clean
breast of the 100000 transaction. Con-
corning that matter and all else that
he knew Of the oil affair, Mclean was
called on to tell the senators. 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, it ap-
peared, leased a 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.
