GERMANS And
FRENCH BOTH
FAVORABLE
Many Berlin Newspapers De-
clare That Country Ought
to Accept Taxing Plan
FRENCH INDICATED?
Opinion Seems to be That
POincare Adherents Feel
Their Contentious Supported

Berlin, April 10.--(By the A. P.)
The bulk of the editorial comment
printed in Berlin newspapers today
inclines to the opinion that the re-
port of Brigadier- General Dawes ex-
pert reparations committee consti-
tutes a basis for negotiations.
Only in the isolated instances of
the nationalistic organs is opposi-
ton to the recomme ndations voiced
and even there the familiar cry of
Unacceptable" which has greeted
past plans is wholly lacking.
Hugo SHINES Deutsche Allgemeine
Getting declares it behooves the
German government to give the re-
port objective and intensive examin-
alton
Dorwarts says it's rejection would
be catastrophe case of stupidity on
which the "French imperialists" are
unquestionably speculating.
"The question which now confronts
any German government" the So
cialist organ continues, ais can it
march into the Ruhr and drive out
the French. If it cannot then there
is only one path to freedom left US
and that it indicated in the experts
reports

WHEELER CASE UP

Washington, April Without
explaining the purpose the Daugherty
investigating committee today heard
testimony about telephone call by
George B. Lockwood, secretary of the
Republican national committee, to
Great Falls, Montana, where a fed
eral grand jury recently returned an
indictment against Senator Wheeler,
the committee prosecutor.
Arthur Lambdin, an official of the
telephone company here, was put on
the stand and after formal protest,
was allowed to testify that Lockwood
called Blair Cohen at the Rainbow
hotel in Great Falls and talked with
him for two and one-half minutes.
The committee then put on the
stand w. j. Burns, head of the secret
service of the Department of Justice,
and questioned him about the work
of the department in investigating
the Montana charges against Senator
Wheeler.
Burns testified that three of his
men had worked in Montana on the
Wheeler case.
VINO Ofdefed you TO SEND these
men out?' Wheeler asked.
Nobody, ] sent them out said
Burns.
THE postoffice department asked
for them
Burns also said he had reported to
Daugherty that you (Senator Wheel
er) were attorney for the Gordon
Campbell concern"
The conversation took place at
Daugherty's apartment, Burns said,
but added that he would have to look
it up to see if it was before or
after ,Daugherty left office as Attor-
ney-General. The Investigation of
the Gordon Campbell company was
started by Mr.. Cunningham of the
postoffice department" the witness
said, adding that Cunningham was
now en- route to Washington.

MOSES BREAKS

OF COMMITTEE
New Hampshire Senator Op-
poses Senator Wheeler's
Ohio Trip Procedure
BROOKHARD SUCCEEDS
Go After Daugherty's Broth
erS BOOkS-Other Witnesses
Called Before Body

Washington, April lO.--In execu-
tive session today the Senate Daugh-
crty committee decidedt to speed up
its inspection of the books of Nal
Daugherty's bank in Washington
Courthouse, Ohio. Senator Wheeler,
the committee prosecutor, will leave
for Ohio tonight to begin the work.
Senator Moses, Republican,, New
Hampshire, who was named as sub
committee member to make the Ohio
trip with Wheeler vigorously op-
posed the prosecutors plan and later
withdrew from the subcommittee,
Chairman Brookhart taking his place.
The committee has been seeking
for several weeks to get access to
the books of the Midland bank of
which NJ. S. Daugherty is president.
At first the records were subpoenaed
but the bank replied it would be i'm
possible to send them to Washington.
Then special examiner was sent to
Washington Courthouse. A contro-
versy arose as to the scope of the
INV luS DuSlIcSS VI luS
bank, with the result that his inves-
tigation has been suspended. A sub
poena also was issued for M. S.
Daugherty but he failed to appear
here and contempt proceedings
against him have been considered.
The committee prosecutor believes
the bank books contain evidence con-
firmatory of certain testimony given
in regard to the financial operations
of Harry M. Daugherty, Jess Smith
and others.
4 The meeting of the committee this
morning behind closed doors is said
to have developed some heated pass
eages among members as to the best
method of procedure. -~...

ALASKA FISH TRUST
WANTS MONOPOLY

Washington, Feb. 2O.-A battle
against the monopolization of Alaska
salmon has been quietly waged in a
committee room of the house. The
cannery corporations are arrayed
against Delegate Sutherland, repre-
senting the territory of Alaska, and
The fight is over a bill that would
legalize decision by Secretary of
Commerce Hoover, who set aside fish
reserves in the Alaskan waters. The
rule provided how many fish could be
caught, by what method, and, most
important of all, who could catch the
fish. Defenders of the decision said it
was the only way salmon could be
conserved. Opponents insist it is a
denial of every English-speaking
right from the time of Magma Charta
and that the alleged conservation of
salmon is in the interest of the can
merry trust.
President Furuseth of the Interna-
tional Seamen's union said it was as
reasonable to set the fox to guard the
geese as to set the cannery men to
guard the salmon. The unionist urg-
ed that all Alaskan waters within
the three mile limit be set aside as a
fish preserve with regulations that
would apply to all fishers.
Members of the house committee ex-
hibit q lively sentiment for fish con-
servation and have instructed sub
committee to prepare a bill to be
brought before the full committee.
