NJ 'ADO0 GAVE
UP MILLION
Says He Would Have Got This
If Mexican Negotiations
We're Successful

Los Angeles. Feb. 25.-William
G. McAdoo, candidate for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination,
declared today that his law firm
would have received a fee of ST.
100000 from the Doheny interests
If its negotiations in the Doheny
company's Mexican affairs had
been successful.
McAdOO made this statement in
a telegram to the New York World
IN which he asserted that he had
not been fully cross-examined at
his recent appearance before the
senate oil investigating committee.
He declared that If a congression-
al committee would start an in
vestigation of the private business
connections of all presidential can,
didates he would be glad to sub
NIT himself unreservedly to such
an inquiry. He assailed what he
termed "a continued effort to make
my private law practice a political
ISSUE" and declared:
"rhe matter of my employment
ip connection with Mexican con-
tracts by the Doheny companies al
ready has been coyered in my testi-
mOny before the senate commit
tee. This matter has nothing
whatever to do with the naval oil
leases under investigation by the
senate"
He added that under his arrange
ment with the Doheny company "if'
my firm had succeeded in getting a
satisfactory settlement of the Mex
ican question, Mr.. Doheny compa-
nies would have paid an additional
fee of $1,0O0,000. AS I stated to
the senate committee, my firm re-
ceived. fee of 100000 but with
several hundred million dollars Of
property at stake our services, had
they been effective, would have
been lightly compensated by the
additional fee"

FRENCH POLICY
IN RUHR HELD
0. K BY DAVIS
American Says Commission
Would Not be at Work
We're it Not For That
POINCARE'S STATEMENT
Premier Defending Ruhr Oc.
cupation, Refers TO Expert,
Shown to be Dawes

Paris, Feb. 25,-"Certainly ! said
it" declares Brigadier General
Charles G. Dawes, American mem
ber of the first committee of experts
which has been investigating into
Germany's financial and economic
| situation, to the Associated Press
last night.
i repeat it: If the French were
not in the Ruhr we experts would
not be here.
General Dawes had been asked
by the correspondent if he was the
expert to whom Premier Poincarc re-
ferred in addressing the chamber of
deputies Saturday when the premier
said that one Of the experts recently
told French colleague, I'VE should
have been unable to reach our pres
ent results were you not in the
Ruhr"
Made Statement Year Ago
i said it as early as February,
1923, General Dawes replied. Il re-
peated it to my colleagues on the
committee, and am telling it to you
now because l believe it,
M. Poincare's reference in parlia-
ment to- the foreign experts opinion
was given great prominence in the
French newspapers yesterday, which
printed it in heavy type on their
front pages. The Matin attributed
the remark to Reginald McKenna,
head of the second committee of ex-
perts, who was quoted by the news
papers as having declared to French
senator in the course of private
dinner, previous to the Ruhr oc-
cupation the German people were
willing to pay, but the industrials
refused, the occupation of the Ruhr
convinced the latter of the necessity
to pay. 1t is the result Of French
policy"
Was Credited to Mckenna
The semi official Hexas agency,
however, in an evidently inspired ar
ticle yesterday afternoon, asserted
that Mr.. Mckenna was not the expert
NJ. Poincare had in mind when max
ing his reference in parliament.
The news agency, added that it had
good reason to believe General
Dawes was the expert in question.
You can confirm that l am the
man, said General Dawes. Il don't
know whether Mr.. McKenna said it:
but, as far as l am concerned, l did,
and | stand pat on it,
Asked what he meant by his state
the Ruhr occupation had made the
Germans realize that they must pay
up to their capacity, which it ap-
peared they had not intended to do
until the Frehch troops entered the
Ruhr; also the years stay in the
Ruhr had brought the French to un-
derstand that occupation itself was
not producing reparation payments
and caused them to recede from the
stand taken demanding enormous i'm

IMMIGRATION
BILL FOUGHT
BY DEMOCRATS
New York Representatives
Sign Statement Against
Johnson Measure

Washington, Feb. 25-Twenty'
one of the % Democratic members
Of the House from New York state
coined in a statement that they are
"unalterably opposed to the rigid
ly restrictive johnson immigration
bill"
The measure, it was contended,
"is particularly Objectionable be-
cause it discriminates against cer-
tain. nationalities already going to
make up great part of our poput
lation, fans the flames of racial,
veligious and national hatreds and
brands forever elements already
here as of inferior stock"
80 1-3 Per Cent Foreign
"The foreign born population of
our country and those born here of
foreign parents" the statement
declared, Comprise 33 1-3 per cent
of the total population. Of these,
at least 25 per cent are recent i'm
migrants, and constitute the young
men and women of today's labor
ing classes so necessary to our in
dustrial prosperity,
"We are underhoused, and under
constructed, and underdeveloped,
and are in some need of those who
are willing to do ours work, both
skilled and hard AND laborious, but
this bill would tend to keep out
that class of immigrants best suit
ed for such occupations.
1T would not, however, bring
into this country a better class or
a more assimilable body Of immi-
grants. .
Country Still Big Enough
The statement concluded with
this paragraph:
"Our. great country is still big
enough, geographically, politically
and socially. to receive these per-
sons knocking at our doors, wheth-
er brain or Drawn, who answer our
mental, moral and physical require
ments, and can contribute to our
science, our art, our literature, our

FIRP0 KNOCKS
OUT LODGE AS
$4,000 CHEER
South American Fighter Wins
Over American Heavy
weight
END COMES IN FIFTH
Man Who Failed Before Demp-
sey Is Cheered by Fellow
Citizens
END COMES IN FIFTH

Buenos Aires, Feb. 25-Louis
Angel Firpo was still the heavy
weight champion of South Ameri-
ca today, having disposed of
Farmer" Lodge, American heavy
weight, by a knockout last night
in the fifth round of their bout at
the River Plate football field.
Thirty-three thousand fans
cheered their idol who was carried
to his corner. The finishing blow
was a terrific right to the body
preceded by a left to the jaw.
Lodge took the aggressive at the
outset, forcing the Argentinian to
the ropes but after his initial on
slaught the American never had
a chance. Twice before the knock
out he was sent to the floor by
the failing right which is Firro's
favorite blow. Lodges punches
lacked power and he clinched re-
peatedly. The referee was obliged
to use force to pull him out of some
of these embraces. At the begin
ming of the fifth round with Lodge
groggy Firpo tried for knockout.
Driving rights and left to the ribs
and over the heart forced the AM
erlcan about the ring. Once miss
ing a terrific swing Firpo went to
his knees but was up in an instant.
The knockout blow was a straight
right which sank deeply into
Lodges body, doubling him up like
a jackknife. The American crump-
led to the floor and lay motionless
as he was counted out.
Firpo weighed 218 pounds and
Lodge 231.

DEMOCRATS TO

Acknowledgement Rules They
Are Entitled To It

The Democratic party is entitled
to place on the ballot in the cleo

George Shafer said in an opinion

Hall.
The Attorney General found that
the law regarding parties named as
entitled to the ballot the Republican
and Democratic parties and any other
party created by casting of five per-
cent or more Of the total vote for
its candidate for Governor at the
preceding election.
The Democratic parity although
having no candidate for Governor at
the last general election, lis entitled

ignates the Democratic party as an
existing national party to which the
primary laws are applicable the
Attorney-General held.

BAG OF SURPRISES

I Washington, Feb. 25.-Ths senate
oil committee opened another bag
of surprises when it resumed hearing
after a Today recess.
Taking up the trail of the $10O, 900
loan made to A. B. Fall by Edward
B. Mclean. publisher of the Wash
ington Post, the committee was told
by officials of two Washington banks
that Mr.. McLean's checking balance
in neither of the banks was more
than $4,000 in December, 1921. The
publisher has informed the commit
tee that he gave Fall checks aggre-
eating $4,000 on the two banks dur
ing that period but they were return
ed uncashed.
c. Bascom Slemp, secretary to
President Coolidge, was questioned
about visit he made to Palm Beach
while Mclean and Fall were there
last December and January. The
secretary declared he talked with
Fall several times, asked him for the
truth about the oil charges and ad-
vised him to tell everything. Mr..
Fall replied, he said, that he had
nothing more to tell.
