Denies Knowledge of Oil Details - Daugherty Said to Have Kept Silent
 About Pearl HarbOr Deal.

Washington, Feb. 25.--The senate oil committee opened another bag of surprises today when it resumed hear ings after a 10-day recess.
 Taking up the trail of the s10o.0oO loan made to A. B. Fall by Edward B. Mclean, publisher of the Washing ton Post, the committee was told by officials of two Washington banks that MT. McLean's checking balance in neither of them was more than Sl0,000 in December, 1921. The pub fisher has informed the committee he gave Fall checks aggregating SI00,o0o on the two banks during that period. but that they were returned un- cashed.
 Slemp Questioned
 C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to President Coolidge, was questioned about a visit he made to Palm Beach, while Mclean and Fall were there last December and January.

Borah Has Another Con- ference With President and Adams Again Comes to Daugherty's Defense
President May Work Out Plan Whereby Accused Official Will Leave Cabi- net and Defend Himself At Same Time.

Washington, Feb. 25--Some definite procurement from administration quarters regarding the controversy over Attorney General Daugherty was forecast today as the senate assembled To consider the resolution for a sweep ing inquiry into Mir. Daugherty's ad- ininistration of the department of jus tice.
 President Coolidge was represented by those in his confidence as still without a definite decision regarding the demands for the attorney gen. erals resignation. An adjustment of the situation without great delay, however. was said to be believed by the president to be possible.
 still Seeks Adyicc
 The executive Is continuing to take counsel from republican leaders in and out of congress- Last night he lad another conference with Senator Borab, republican, Idaho, who in the senate last week openly urged the resignation of Mir. Daugherty as a per sonal sacrifice in the public interest. senator Borah today declined to dis cuss his conference with the president beyond indicating that it referred again to Mir. Dangherty.
 In some quarters 1t was said the president might work out some solu- ton which would not make sacri- lice to Mir. Daugherty. and yet would meet the situation which some of his party leaders sa. requires substitution of an attorney general who would meet with q greater share of public confidence.
 One Way Out
 Among measures reported under consideration was q suggestion that Mir. Duugherty might present his res- ignation effective q month or two in the future. and meantime present his case before the proposed senate in- ,sstiguting committee. This would al- low him to answer all charges prior to his leaving tie cabinet and some republican leaders believe. relieve him Of retiring under fire"
 After h call at the White House to- day, John r. Adams. chairman of the republican national committee reiter- Dted his belief that the attorney gem cral should not resign while his offi- cial acts are under attack in con- gress.
 "1f we let men bc forced from of- flee by mere accusations" he said. "backmail and baekguardism win become a most popular occupation in the country until decent men arc driven from public life"
 Statement Tomorrow
 Another public statement from NIT. Daugherty as a part of his plan to carry his fight to the country may Dc issued tomorrow. If was said today that he vas preparing to again reply to his senate critics and publicly re- iterstc his willingness to submit to a investigation by congress. It appeared likely that the senate ac- ton on the resolution of Senator l Wheeler. democrat. Mont9na, would i he impossible at today's session. X number Of senators wanted to speak [ on the resolution and Senator Wheel CT meantime continued his discussion 1 with republican leaders over the per- ] sonnel of the investigating committee. i
