German People Suing
Toward Old Monarchy
CROWN PRINCE
SAYS NOTHING

BERLIN, March 31.-sThe
Crown Prince regrets that he is I'M
able to meet your wishes for re-
ply"
This message, sent through his
adjutant, was ex-Crown Prince
Frederick Wilhelm's answer to a re-
quest for a statement on how he felt
regarding the peoples party mon
archist platform, and whether he
would accept the position of Kaiser
if the nation Overwhelmingly de-
manded it.
The ex-Crown Prince is still the
country gentleman at Gels, but it is
interesting that the message quoted
1.-THE Crown Prince" 1t is also in
teresting that Foreign Ministers
Stresemann, who voiced the mon
archial demand, brought Frederick
Wilhelm back from exile when he
was chancellor.

Stresemann's Declare
tons And Party Atti-
tude Causes Stir
BY Ferdinand jain

Especial Leased Wire To Age-Hefald)
BERLIN, March 31.-Public opin-
ion in Germany is swinging toward APP
proval of a monarchy.
That is the significant fact behind
Foreign Minister Stresemann's declara-
tions at Hanover when the peoples
party, Of which Stresemann is the
leader, wrote into its elections plat
form a plank calling for the establish
ment of a democratic monarchy in
Germany.
The peoples party represents big
business. Big business has sensed the
swing of the pendulum toward mon
archial enthusiasm.
The exact expression used by Strese-
mann in outlining the program was
1.-The peoples party hopes for re-
vival of German might and greatness
under German peoples kaiserdom."
The action of the peoples party
follows the recent declarati ton of the
nationalist party in favor of the resto-
ration of a monarchy, and the contin-
ued open support of the monarchial
idea by the nationalists.
Trouble Is Feared
The trial of General Ludendorff and
Adolf Hitler at Munich has recently
centered attention on the nationalist
cause. Strangely enough the some
what bombastic utterances of the lead
ers of the "beer cellar revolution" have
met with marked approval throughout
Germany, and have increased the pop
ularity of their cause.
The verdict on the two men will be
returned in Munich Tuesday. Fearing
trouble when the verdict is announced
the police have prohibited all assem-
bles in the city during the day. and
have announced that they will suppress
all disorders ruthlessly.
Meanwhile Germany does not forget
that the ex-crown prince is again with.
in her frontiers, an ever present svm-
Dol of the old regime.

Dill REOPENS
SENATE FIGHT
/ ON ROOSEVELT
Would Have Coolidge Ad-
vised To Gust Assist
ant Secretary

WASHINGTON, March 31.-With
the Senate oil committee in recess, op-
ponents of the leasing of the naval re-
serves were restricted in their action
today to the Senate floor where devel-
opments centered around a resolution
by Senator Dill, democrat, Washing
ton, calling for the resignation of As
Sistant Secretary Roosevelt. 1t pro-
poses to express the sense of the SEN
ate" that President Coolidge should ask
for the assistant secretary's resignation.
Senator Dill introduced his resolution
without comment, but Senator Wads-
first opportunity to attack the evident
motive behind it.
Another "Sniper"
Declaring the author of the resolution
chad deliberatels withheld the facts
bearing upon his preamble" Senator
Wadsworth contended the purpose was
a bare attempt to smirch by false
inuendo the name of a public official
He termed the Washington senator
another sniper arising from the po.
litical trenches"
Aletter from Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt to State Senator William w
Campbell of New York, was read into
the record. Reciting the assistant sec.
retary's connection with the oil re-
serves, it declared he had opposed their
transfer to the interior department and
was ignorant of the leases which ensued
until they had been announced pub
licly. Senator Wadsworth also pre-.
scented a letter from Rear Admiral Rob.
ert s. Griffin. retired, leader of the
anti-leasists in the department, con.
firming Mr.. Roosevelt's statement OF
the facts.
Thompson Not Found
Chairman Ladd, republican, North
Dakota, announced there had been nc
change in the scheduled reconvening oil
the oil committee tomorrow despite
failure of subpoena servers to locate
William Boyce Thompson, former chair
man of the republican national com
mittee's finance committee, who is to
be questioned respecting campaign con.
tributions.
Plans for forthcoming hearings dc
not go beyond delving into campaign
contributions, but there was no con.
firmation of reports that an early con.
clusion of that body's activities was
foreseen.
r. II. Wilson, once a candidate for
the democratic nomination for governor
of Oklahoma, is expected to testify to-
morrow. Other witnesses include w.
l.. Kistler, oil promoter of Tulsa, and
George White, former chairman of the
democratic national committee.
Senator Dill, member of the COM
mittee. left Washington tonight for a
speaking tour, in which he promised to
amplify his contention that Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt should resign.

games in Paris, Maj. John J. Dooley,
formerly chief OF ordnance OF the
state of Maine, will be along as as
sistaut team captain
Mai. Dooley is recognized as one
of the leading experts on rife shoot
ing in America He knows the mill
tary rifle in every detail and is an
authority on machine guns as wei.
He has served as executive ofhcer at
many of the military and state rifle
shots throughout the country. For
several years he has been one Of the
range officers of the national shoots
at amp Perry, Ohio, and some years
ago he was selected to run the ma
tional school boys shoot in Wash
ington. His rife chart, designed to
teach beginners, is used by most of
the national guard departments of
the country.
Maj. Dooley became interested in
rifle shooting while connected with
the hospital corps of the old 1st
Maine infantry. He made a study Of
the matter and was soon made in
spector OF small arms practice for
the regiment and later was made as
sistant chief of ordnance Of the state
under Col. Elliot c. Dill. In 1909,
when Col. Din was made adjutant
general Of Maine by Gov. Fernald,
Mai. Dooley was named as chief Of
ordnance and he held this position
until 1916, when his business took
him from the state so much that he
felt il necessary to resign.
Maj. Dooley served on the military
staffs Of Cows. Cobb, Fernald.
Plaisted, Haines and Curtis. He was
team coach for the Marines team in
1919 at the national match when they
defeated the team of the American
! expeditionary forces. Being at the
Olympic shoot will be no new ex-
perience to Maj. Dooley, for in 1912
he was with the American team at
! Stockholm and was selected as the
| man best qualified to explain the
! American military rife TO the King
| OF Sweden at that time. This he
Gid in the presence Of 10000 and at
| the end Of the explanation was COM
| plimented by the king for the lucid
ity of the explanation.
When the United States entered
the World War Major Dooley i'm
mediately entered the marine corps
as a captain but was soon advanced
TO the rank Of major. He was put
/ in charge OF the work Of esta blishing
4 machine gun school for marines.
| This school was SO thorough and SO
successful that inside Of three
months the war department and the
navy department were sending both
soldiers and sailors TO il for training
