.WADOO MANAGER ] ASKS FOR PROBE
He Would Have Record Of Every Democratic Candidate
 Investigated

CHICAGO, March 6-Senatorial in vestigation of every democratic presi- dential candidate was demanded here today by David l.. Rockwell, campaign manager for William Gibbs McAdoo.
 In prepared statement, Rockwell declared it was only fair for the Senate to find out how the other democratic candidates made their money, inas- much as McAdoo has submitted to ex- animation. .{,T,.,
 "What is fair for one is fair for a1l,' Rockwell declared.
 "Why should not Senator Reed, Mis- souri, for instance, tell the Senate com mittee the names of his clients and the amounts of fees he received from them since he has become a member of the Senate? He might discuss his relation with Samuel Fordyce of St. Louis. He might tell of the Frisco merger.
 '.Then there is Governor Cox of Ohio. who might go on the stand and tell how he made his money.
 Senator Underwood is a lawyer and has clients. Who are they7
 "John W. Davis is a lawyer with clients"
 Rockwell declared he was much i'm pressed with the 'generalness of the favorable reaction" for McAdoo he has found in the last few weeks.

SLAVE TRAINED
 BY JEFFERSON
 DAVIS IS DEAD

JACKSON, Miss.,, March 6.-Isiah Montgomery, negro, leader and former slave of Jefferson Davis prior to the secession of the Confederate states, died at his home in Mound Bayou, an exclusive negro town, mast night Montgomery was 77y years old and founded the negro town.
 Montgomery served as a cabin boy under Admiral Porter of the Federal fleet which operated in the Mississippi river during the Civil war.
 During reconstruction days Mont Romery and his brother bought the BriarfieId plantation from the Davis family and became owners where once the negroes were slaves. One of the most famous litigation cases in the Mississippi sufreme court was over the Briarfield plantation in which the Montgomerys lost.
 Isiah was then backed by white men to found negro town in the Mississippi delta. While serving asN leader for many years in Mound Bayou Mont Gomery was Il member of the Aissis- sippi legislature and was the only negro member of the Mississippi constitu- .tional convention. of 1890.

Long List Of Industrial Leaders To Be Called Te Testify Of Attorney General Inactivity
 On Trust" Information

[ and of the maintenance of highly paid lobbyists.
 Some of the investigation will dig back into the last democratic admins tratipn. The report on the Southern Pine association case reveals that one of their representatives conferred with officials of the treasury during the Will son administration regarding taxes on the lumber industry.
 At this time congress was preparing revenue measures to provide war ex- penses, and pressure was being brought to bear by the lumber interests through their lobby in Washington to have basis of taxation made which would have cut their returns considerably. One Of the officers wrote to the sec retaryi of the association that he did not think t is well-at least, not psycho- logical--to attract attention to the, ex- tent in dollars and cents to which the industry is affected"
 Among other important cases which will be delved into by the special com mittee, in addition to the gas case and Il lumber cases, are the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad case, trust charges against the General Electric company, Portland Cement company case,. the American Tobacco company, F. Loriltard and company, Liggett & Myers Tobacco company cases, various vehicle and implement company cases, several glass concern cases, and many others.

LEGISLATORS TALK BUDGET MATTERS
Committee Approves Fire In.
 surance Rating Bureau

JACKSON, Miss, March 6.-(Spe- cial. )-While the House was spending another tedious day with amendments to the graduated income tax bill the Senate fiddled away the entire fore noon with an economy resolution sent up by 17 members, declaring that the state financial condition warrants a reduction of appropriation at this ses- sion not to exceed $S,500,000 per an mum, and instructing the finance com mittee to cut it's budget accordingly.
 The Senate debate was led by ex- Governor Noel and the discussion went far afield, touching nearly every phase of the state financial problems. Chair man Love of the Senate finance com mittee waged vigorous fight against the measure and succeeded finally in getting it put to sleep by having it re- ferred to the finance committee by 8 vot. of 26 to 17.
 The House made fairly good head way with the income tax bill, but its opponents declare that some of the amendments adopted are so glaringly inconsistent that there is little or nc chance for its passage.
 The Senate gave a second reading and passage to the proposed amend ment to the constitution abolishing the office of state treasurer and combin ing its duties with the state auditors office.
 Rating Bureau Planned
 The House insurance committee this morning favorably reported Senate bill 126, authorizing the formation of a fire insurance rating and inspection bu- reau in Mississippi.

 Should Mir. Shubert keep to his course it appeared doubtful to equity officials tonight that general strike would be called June l, as proposed.

TWO AMERICANS
 sMADECARDlNALS
Pope Elevates Archbishops Hays X And Mundelein To Show Regard

ROME, Mrch 6.-Two American prelatse will be elevated to the car lfnaiate at a secret consistory to be held March A. They are Archbishop Hays of New York and Archbishop Mundeleir of Chicago.
 This announcement was made at the Vatican today. Pope Plus, in giving two additional red hats to the United States, was moved by the generous re- sponse of the American people to the appeals for the suffering states of Europe. 2$1
 The pontiff is said also to have de- sired to honor the people of the United 7 States for their spirit of self-denial and loyalty.
 Pope Plus has long admired the work of Archbishop Hays and Archbishop Mundelein, and after due consideration to the claims of other countries for in creases in, their membership in the sacred college he decided that Sthe United States was most deserving and that Archbishop Hays and Archbishop Mundelein were well fitted to be hon. ored.
 The Vatican expresses the view that the addition of two. new. American cardinals to the sacred college will add strength to the highest church council, as well as give the United States more even representation.
 It was. recognized that New York, because of its importance as the metrop- oils, should have cardinal, but that the rest of the country could not be neglected in the bestowal of red hats i; that Chicago, the center of such i'm portant territory, could not longer be denied the honor.
 Archbishop Hays and Archbishop Mundelein are expected to reach Rome March IT,.
 It is certain that additional red hats will be allotted at the coming consis- tory, but the Vatican is maintaining the closest secrecy concerning the names. Both 'prelates were born in New York.
