POST
Suffers Collapse and Goes to
country-Wife and Paris
Physician Summoned.
By PAUL DRANDAKIS
international News Service.

ATHENS, Jan. Stiffness to-
day robbed Greece Of the serv-
ices of her foremost statesman
-Eleutherios Venizelos.
Premier Venizelos suffered a
nervous breakdown and was
ordered by his physician to go to
the country and remain quiet for
at least a fortnight. A special
meeting Of the cabinet led to a
report that Venizelos had re-
signed but this proved untrue.
Cabinet Council Clashes.
The special cabinet council was
summoned to select q vice presi.
dent to act for Premier VenizeloS
while the latter is in temporary
retirement, regaining his health.
After much discussion the meeting
broke up without anyone being Sc
lected.
Later there were reports that
Venizelos might hand in tho resiR.
nations of himself and his cabinet
this afternoon or tomorrow.
The cabinet crisis undoubtedly
will prolong the absence Of King
George and probably will interfere
with the proposed national plebi-
scite upon the future Of the Hellenic
dynasty and the future form of
government.
Chief fear Of the monarchistS is
that the republicans will take ad-
vantage Of the unsettled condition
Of affairs to proclaim republic.
Madame Venizelos, who has been
living in Paris. has been summoned
to her husbands bedside. She Is
expected to arrive tomorrow.
The names Of M. Roussos and M.
Kafandaris were mentioned as pos.
sible substitutes for the premier
while he is incapacitated by illness.
Venizelos, realizing that 1t might
be some time before he could re-
sumo his duties, suggested imme.
diate reconstruction Of the cabinet,
leaving him out.
There was another ministerial
council this afternoon when II was
decided to ask Venizelos to retain
the nominal premiership, permit.
ting Minister Of Justice Kafandaris
to carry out Venizelos' program.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 31.-Hun-
dreds Of men and women, many Of
them members Of Southern "elite, y
today assembled in the United
States District Court room to hear
the barring of a romance between
q young and beautiful woman and
an aged and wealthy man.
Seeks $5OO,O0O.
The story was being unravelled in
the heart balm suit of Mrs. On
zeima Debonchel, New Orleans So
ciety woman, who is suing Asa G..
Gambler for $500 900, charging breach
Of promise. Gambler is an Atlanta
nulti-millionaire and the far-famed
Coca Cola King.
Mrs. Debouchel told Of her ro-
nance and Of its abrupt termina-
ton. The two were engaged in
1922 when she was visiting Atlanta,
according to testimony, and an as
sociation resulted for several months
leading up to what she thought
would be their wedding. Five days
before the date, she said, the aged
man wrote her a letter declaring
such d step would be impossible.
Questions Her Reputation.
He questioned the reputation Of
his bride.to.be after receiving infor-
nation from close friends to the ef-
feet that two men had, at her solic-
itation, visited her in an Atlanta
hotel. This she denied without res
orvation.
Thirteen of the capitalist love let
ters were read before smiling spec.
tators. They were ardent and spoke
OF their companionship; Of his devo.
ton for her and of plans. for the
wedding. He always began with
''My Dear Sweetums."

A. Mitchell Palmer, who was At

under President Wilson just before
the advent Of President Warren
Gamaliel Harding, who gave the
place of Attorne., !, General to Harry

by the Democrats in Congress as

The Republicans are about to
burst out in a loud claim that no
matter how bad Mr.. Daugherty
may have been in the matter Of oil
it is at least perfectly clear that
Mr.. Palmer was worse.
Mr. Daugherty is accused merely
Of having failed to stop some oil
land leases out of which the Gov

at least the royalties and rents
which any private owner In similar
circumstances would get.

BY KENNETH CLARK,

An effort by President Cool.
idge to persuade Democratic
Senator's to desist in their saw
age assaults on members Of his
Cabinet and allow the oil lease
"mess" to be cleared up by spe-
cial Government counsel and
the courts failed today.
The President summoned Sem
ator Walsh (Dem.) of Montana,
the relentless prosecutor Of the
Teapot Dome case, and Senator
Robinson (Dem.) Of Arkansas,
who fathered the pending reso-
luton demanding the resignation
of Secretary of the Navy, to.
the White House shortly before
noon. They had a long confer
ence with the Chief Executive,
but they left the White House
declaring that they would push
the pending resolution ito the
utmost"
Move To Gust DENLY.
Even as Walsh and Robinson left
the Presidents office, their col
leagues In the Senate were making
sensational move designed to oust
DENLY.
No sooner had the Senate met,
than Senator Trammell D.) Of Flor.
ida, introduced an amendment to
the Robinson resolution, declaring
1t to be the sense Of the Senate
that the President should immedi-
ately request the resignation Of the
Secretary Of the Navy"
For q moment it seemed there
would be an immediate vote. The
Republican side sat stunned. Then
Senator Lodge, the Republican lead
er, jumped to his feet and raised
an objection which stopped the vote.
Fought By Lodge.
Lodge declared he favored the
Walsh resolution, which proposes
on the ground they were obtained
under indications of fraud and
corruption, but he would oppose the
Trammell amendment with all my
power"
This is a fool amendment" he
shouted, his voice quivering with
excitement. "It is unconstitutional,
because the Constitution provides
only one method of removing Cabi.
net officers, and that is by i'm.
peachment."
President Coolidge will not permit
secretary OF Navy Edwin Denbv IN
resign from the Cabinet under
fire." 1t was said today by those
who have talked with him in the

Daugherty at this time.
Both DENLY and Daugherty, 1t

The dissolution Of the Diet came
amid scenes Of unprecedented
character, Premier Kiyoura beating
and kicking the Minister of Rail-
ways and hurting a glass flask
before the dissolution amid great
uproar this afternoon.
Members Of his ministry fled for
their lives Immediately after the
Premier had resorted to the i'm.
perial edict to close parliament.
Military forces were hastily called
out to reinforce the 5000 policemen
who had been on duty all day
guarding the ministry and the Diet
buildings.
The police had been thrown about
the buildings following the open
agitation against the premier's
threat to dissolve the body.

and another fled In an automobile
to escape.
Agitators passed through the
streets throwing out hand bills at.
tacking Premier Kiyoura as repre-.
senting "autocracy," and demand
ing a on-confidence bill.
Fears OF violence increased fol-
lowing the close Of the session and
cordons of police and soldiers were
thrown closely about exits Of the
Diet building, in order that the
ministers, lawmakers and their
friends might leave In safety.
Extra editions of the afternoon
papers carried the news to eager
crowds that filled the streets watch

to come from the dissolution Of the
Diet.
