New York. March S.--Asserting that some of his colleagues in the senate were disposed "to condemn men by mere rumors and whisper ings" Senator Frank r. Willis. Of ohio. in speech to members of the league for industrial rights last night declared that "thc maligners of character" had oversteppcd them selves when they attempted to bring the name of President Coolidge into the Teapot Dome investigation.
 There is no truth in rumors that ate tpmpts have been made 10 prevent a thorough investigation, he said, add ing that he was disposed 10 believe there had been wrongdoing in one or two instances. hut was disposed to wait until the facts come out before accusing or conde inning anybody"
 "It has been said that there Is a species Of hysteria in Washington at present" he went on. 'I do not know whether that is the right char acterization, but do know that there has been steady effort through in- nsendo and suspicion to drag down those who have possessed and still possess spotless characters.
 "The atet thing has been to read a telegram Of the president-purely formal and similar to hundreds Of others that have been sent in acknow- ledgment Of congratulations. That telegram is lugged into the investiga- ton with the idea io convey. through this whispering campaign Of assassi- nation. that the president is mixed up in this business.

Claims General Could Have Thus

Washington, Masch S.-The senate oil committee had not finished today with the references in some of Ed principal" 1t had. however opened up the possibility of a new line of in- quiry through the issuance ofsa sub poena last night for Leonard Wood. IT,, on the basis of a published state- ment in which he said his father, now governor general of the Philippines had been offered support for the presidential nomination by certain oil interests during the 1920 republican national convention.
 In addition 10 the testimony of Sen ator Curtis and Bennett today, the committee had before it the presi- dents nomination of Samuel Knight of san Francisco. to act as special counsel in proceedings Joking to re- coyery to the federal government of the two sections of the Elk Hills re- serve now operated by the Standard Oil Co. of California. Some opposi- ton to the appointment has been ex- pressed on the gruond that the at

 In connection with the Wood state ment the committee is planning to summon not only the son of Major Gen. Wood. but Mrs. John W. Cor man, formerly Clara smith Hamon, and John Hamon. Jr., son of the late Jake IIamon who was the republican national committeeman from Okla home in 1920.
 The statement of Leonard Wood, Jr. as published here, said Jake Hamon, who had large oil interests, ap- preached his father during dead lock in the Chicago convention with an offer of support for the presiden- tial nomination on condition that he be appointed secretary Of the interior. The younger Wood also expressed the opinion that, If General Wood had not turned down the offer flatly," he would have received the nomination.

 DECIDED TO RESIGN
Ministry Formed on January n, Crashes Following Debate On Fate of Dynasty.
Athens, March S.--Thf cabinet of Premier kafandaris has resigned.


 The kafandaris cabinet was formed on January 1 last to succeed that of Fleutherios Nenizelos, who retired be- cause of ill health. It has been under fire on the question of proclaiming the downfall Of the Glucksburg dynasty, the immediate representatives Of which. King George and queen Eliza beth, are exiled fin Rumania.
 M Kafandaris has held out in. favor Of n referendum to decide the fate of tho dynasty. while the opposition in- cluding the republican deputies and a large faction in tho army, demands abolition of the dynasty and procla- nation Of a republic in the national assembly. The opposition has con tended that grave consequences would threaten the country should the result of a referendum be unfayorable to the establishment of a republic.
 The premier on Thursday of this week refused to receive a dcputation representing tho military group. de- caring it was impossible to hold poli- tical discussions with army officers, The officers, however. were received by the regent. who subsequently, sum moned the premier to the palace. Re- lief was expressed in the Athens dis patches at the time that the military group was trying to force the govern ments hand and bring about its resig- ration.
