CASE
Burns Testifies He Talked
With Daugherty Before
Agents Started Move.

D.; Partial substantiation of the
charge of Senator Burton K.
Wheeler (Dem.) of Montana that
the Republican National Commit
tee had hand in his indictment
at Great Falls was obtained to-
day by the Brookhart- Wheeler
investigating committee.
From Arthur Lambdin. a tele-
phone company official, and Will
lam j. Burns, chief of the Bureau
Of Investigation of the Depart
ment Of Justice, the committee
learned that George B. Lockwood,
secretary of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, had been in
communication with a special in
vestigator at Great Falls, working
on the Wheeler case.
Tells of Phone Talk.
Lambdin testified that Lockwood
had a telephone conversation with
Blair Coan, a special investigator
was identified by Burns as an in
vestigator in the employ of Lock
wood or the Republican committee.
Lockwood tried to get in touch
with Coan from 1852 q. m. until
6:44 p. m. yesterday, Lambdin said,
before connection was eStab-
lished. The conversation lasted
two and a half minutes.
Burns was called to the stand
and questioned by Senator Wheeler.
Others on the "Case.'
"You know that Blair Coan was
an investigator employed by Lock
wood to get some evidence against
me in Montana"
Eyes, I knew he was in Mon
tana," said Burns.
HE was working for LOCKWOOD"
Eyes, Lockwood or the Republi-
can National Committee"
'You sent some Department Of
Justice agents out there, too?"
Eyes, there were three men who
worked on the Gordon Campbell
case" said Burns.
Burns also said he had dis
Daugherty the case against Wheel
er. Burns said the request for
Department of Justice men "came
from the Postoffice Department"
Three of the departments men
presented the case to the grand
jury" said Burns.
The Wheeler trial will be
started next week, it was announced
today by Democratic leaders. 1t
will be held before a special COM
mittee of five Senators, appointed
by Senator Cummins (Rep.) Of
Iowa, president protein of the
Senate. A delay has occurred in
the appointments, however, due to
the Discrimination of Senator Cum
Minis to name the committee.
Objections BY Cummins.
II would like to be relieved of
the duty" Cummins told Interna-
tional News Service today. II would
prefer to have the members elected
by the Senate just as was done in
selecting the Daugherty committee"
Democratic chieftains nevertheless
announced they would insist upon
Cummins making the appointments.
1t was their contention that
should Wheeler prove his innocence
of all charges before a committee
named by Cummins and the Depart
ment of Justice found guilty of con-
spring to intimidate the Senator,
no charges of "white.washingI
could be made against the Senate.
Under present plans, all Govern
ment officials who appeared before
the grand jury in Great Falls,
Mont, which returned the indict.
ment against Wheeler, will be sup
poenaed to tell their story here.

after a further fight in the courts,

the distinction of being the first WoIn-

Very fragmentary and inconclusive

for governor in tuat state, too, to
a woman, Mrs. Nellie Ross, the
Democratic nominee, whose husband
was governor untif MS death a rev
months ago.
Thirty-four states in all elected
governors yesterday, but in some Of
them the returns remained too in
complete today to indicate a def
mite result. First reports indicated
that George w. P. Hunt, the grano
old Democrat of Arizona, seeking
his fifth term as chief executive
of his state, was trailing behind the
nominee of the Republicans.

The stage at which the collection
of returns stood today would not per-
nit of analysis of the vote with any
degree of gertrude, but it was ap-
parent on the surface that unless
Coolidge received a very great num-
Der of Democratic votes in doubtful
states, the strength of La Toilette
must have been taken very largely
from the Democrats. To what de-
gree his campaign managers sue
ceeded in their effort to keep in
line the labor vote will never be
known, but the La Toilette leaders
appeared to see some evidence that
their work had not been in vain.
They announced that their organiza-
ton would BE kept intact to carry
on in 1926 and 1928, the objects they
sought this year at the polls.
AS for Mr.. La Toilette, himself,
he said he had no statement to
make, but might have one when
returns were complete.
John w. Davis likewise went to
bed last night without public com
ment on the showing of his party
or the possible consequences.
President Coolidge, receiving the
returns at the White House, stayed
up until after midnight, sent a con
gratulatory message to his cam
paign field marshal, Republican
Chairman Butler, and retired will

all along. Yesterday, while the vot-

about him that he would look for

PEANUT GROWERS
IN GEORGIA FIND
COOP REAL BOON

ALBANY, Ga, Nov. 4.-MemberS
and officials of the Georgia Peanut
Growers Cooperative association
alike are feeling optimistic over tho
opportunities their association has
for making a good showing on this
years crop for the growers, and in
the way of demonstrating the eff
cheney of the cooperative marketing
principle.
Although the gross price of pea
nuts is only $50 to $40 a ton in some
places, the peanut association is ad-
vancing its members as a first pay
ment sos a ton, with other payments
to follow later. The result of this
has been not only greatly increased
deliveries to the coop, but a stabil-
izing influence on the market, which
had become SO low in a few places
that buyers had actually ceased bid
ding for peanuts.
When peanuts first began to reach
the market in September the price
was around $120 to $3.50 a ton, but
government reports showing\a 25 per
| cent increase in production caused a
| heavy slump. This slump continued
until it became apparent that the
| peanut association was going to
! handle a large volume of the crop.
| 1t was generally known in trade cir
| cles that the association would not
| dump this enormous volume on an
already sagging market; that the as
! sociation would sell its large shaI e
of the crop in an orderly manner,
| Just as the needs of the consuming
| trade demanded. One of the largest
| peanut brokers in the world, a Chi
aeo house of wide reputation in its
| last circular to the trade, declared
that the renewed strength of the
market was due to the heavy deliver
| les the Georgia Peanut association
was receiving from it's members.
SO heavy have been the deliveries
| to the Peanut association that it has
required around $4,000 a day to
make first payments to the mem
bers. Funds for this purpose have
been secured by the association from
| the Federal Intermediate Credit
bank, at Columbia, S. c., and from
other sources of cheap credit. Pea
nuts already received by the associa-
ton are already far in excess of the
volume on the corresponding date of
| last year, and the excess is growing
| larger eaCH week, OLLlcldlS Oh tne as
ISOLATION declare. Not only old
members are delivering, but many
peanuts are coming from new mem
bers who voluntarily and without
| urging signed contracts, some of
them telephoning from distant points
| for copies of the contracts to sign.
| These heavy deliveries have come
altogether from south Georgia
which has not yet nearly completed
| it's deliveries The middle Georgia
| delivery season is expected to open
| in volume within a week or two.
