 "lt is said that the United States enacis more new laws in one year than the balance Of the world in double the length of time, and it would appear as though some pro vision must have been made to pun ish man for using the name of an- other without his consent and caus- ing him to appear in role to which hc is strenuously opposed.
 "Mr. ". $. Ingraham is thoroughly in accord with the Bristol Proxy committe and continually opposed Mr. Barnes activities in directors meetings. and the records will show that he was consistently arrayed against Mir. Barnes. in his attempt to dictate the policy Of the company.
 ''l3ut Mir. Ingraham has gone abroad and Mir. Barnes takes advan- iage of his absence 10 put his name On his own list Of directors, convey ing the impression that he is now en- dorsing the Hartford group.

By The Associated Press.
 Washington, Feb. 27.-An offer by Attorney General Daugherty 10 retire to private life when the senate com pletes it's investigation of his official accounts is believed in some admins tration circles to be imminent
 Under the plan he would step out of the cabinet regardless of the out come of the senate inquiry. and would announce that intention to the coun- try in advance. \ statement from him is expected before the day is over. There Is a belief in some quarters that it may end the bitter controversy of which he has become the center.
 There still are some of President Coolidge's advisers, however, who be- lieve that n promise to resign at Il future date will not satisfy the at torney generals critics in the senate.
 Whether it would be entirely sats- factory to Mir. Coolidge himself re- mains undiselosed. He conferred for an hour again today with the attorney general. but made no statement.
 Compromise eian
 from the start the attorney-gencral has insisted he would not retire from office under fire, and the plan to an- nounce his willingness to resign on termination of the senate investigation was suggested in tho hope that 1t would satisfy his own desires in that regard and at the same time meet the persistent demands of republican sen- ato leaders that he retire.
 Tue president has considered peins- taltingly how such compromise might be worked ont. He has con- ferred with sll parties to the con- troversy and has sought the advice of his closest personal friends in an ef- fort to compose one of the most dif- fcult situations with which he has.
