Coolidge Delegate

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-Presi.
dent Coolidge today approved Attor-
ney General Harry NJ. Daugherty as
one Of the Coolidge delegates to the
republican national convention. the
full slate Of which will be submitted
to the Ohio electorate in the April
primaries.
The public Endorsement of Daugh.
erty, regarded at the White House
as "perfunctory." caused a political
stir, as it constitutes Mr.. Coolidge's
first open expression of his attitude
toward Daugherty, whose removal
from the cabinet leading republican
senator's are seeking on the grounds
that he has lost public confidence.
Mr.. Coolidge personally signed a
consent slip" bearing Daugherty's
name as n delegate. In the same
manner he approved the entire slate
OF Ohio delegates submitted to him
by George b. Harris. Of Cleveland.
This step is required under Ohio
law OF a candidate in the primaries
there in April at which the dele.
yates will be formally chosen.

Daugherty as a delegate has OF

EXPLAIN STORY
Tell Why Mummey Thought
Weaver Was ASSaiIant

The tenacity with which Joshua
Mummey. 73.year.old victim OF the
Seattle Heights aN and fire attack,
retains his story that Arthur
Weaver. Sl.year-old cowherdcr. was
the assailant. is only explainable by
this theory. according 10 relatives OF
Mummey:
THAT when Mummey first re.
gained consciousness after the attack.
the first person he saw was Weaver.
who then was aiding in caring for the
badly injured man on the grass in
front OF the home"
Weaver. one of the first 10 arrive
at the fire. found Mummey with his
legs in the duck pond. and aided in
caring for him. Mummey regained
consciousness momentarily. then lost
consciousness for time. and again
rogained his brain functions. When
he awakened the second time, the
memory OF seeing Weaver remained
with him.
Mrs. Elmer Mummey. daughter.in.
law OF Mummey, said he became ir.
ritated when the name OF Carl Ry.
berg, confessed slayer OF Mummey.
was mentioned. and therefore the old
man was not pressed on the subject.
There is no reason why he should
knowingly protect Ryberg," Mrs.
Mummey said.
