MUSTQOITJn
SAVE c. 0. F:
SOlOnS Fear His Oil Spots
VIII Show Under Probe

WASHINGTON, Feb. H.
Attorney-GeneraI Daughertv
today was faced with the al
tentative of resigning from the
cabinet Ito relieve President
Coolidge from an embarrassing
position" or undergoing senate
condemnation in a resolution
similar to that adopted in the
case of Secretary of the Navy
DENLY.
Daugherty has taken the at
titude that his record is clean:
that he doesn't care what the
senate or, in fact, anyone else.
thinks; that he knows what
he's about; that he's ready to
fight it out with his accusers.
and that he won't resign unless
the President asks him to.
Tell Cal to Can Him.
But Republican Senators are 1ex-
erting pressure both on President
Coolidge and Daugherty himself TO
create a vacancy in the attorney
generalship without further furore.
Late yesterday Senators Lodge and
Pepper called on Mr.. Coolidge TO this
end and today other republican SEN
ators are getting into the play, most
ly with Daugherty.
Since Mr.. Coolidge, up to now. has
let IL be known he could not ask for
Daugherty's resignation unless speci-
fic evidence finding Daugherty culp-
able in the oil or other scandals were
produced, the line of argument d.
rected at Daugherty is that he should
resign to spare the party unnecessary
additional trouble.
Wheeler Resolution Will Pass.
Unless the president or attorney
general acts very soon, admin ira
ton leaders told the president, it viii
be impossible 10 delay senate action
on the Wheeler resolution condemns
ing Daugherty and providing for an
investigation Of his administration.
Lodge told the president that the
resolution would pass by large ma
jority. But Lodge and other leaders
want to avoid its adoption.
While Mr.. Coolidge had refused, in
the DENLY case, TO recognize the SEN
ate's right to dictate 70 him regard
ing cabinet officers, it was pointed out
to him that the administration
standing with the country would be
hurt by adoption Of another resolu-
tion condemning a second cabinet
member.

PO|NCARE BARELY
Gets CONFIDENCE
VOTE IN SENATE
Exposed as Disburser
of Cars Brides


PARIS, Feb. 21.-With the franc
still at worse than "a to the dollar
Poincare barely succeeded today in
gaining a vote of confidence in the
senate, by $50 to 1874. The vote
shows a decided break away from
the strength he had recently.
The proposed election laws were
adopted but it is not vet learned
whether the features Objectionable
to the government were eliminated
or not. Poincare has stated that
he would resign if these features
were not deleted from the bill.
The French premier has lost his
popularity in Paris. The confusion
in business circles since the crash
of the franc is blamed on his inter-
national policy.
Exposures in L'Humanite Of Poin-
cares role as disburser for the Rus
sian subsidies to the venal French
press in the years preceding the
war have played a large part in
destroying confidence. Poincare has
not denied the exposes, which are
supported by authentic documents
from the Cars archives, taken over
by the Soviet government, and turned
over to a member of the French
communist papers staff for inves-
tigation.
President Millerand has barred all
foreigners from the Paris bourse-
claiming that their speculations in
French securities have contributed
TO the anarchial conditions there.
The counter charge is made that
Millerand does not want outsiders
to see what is going on.

cox ASKS JOB AS
JACKASS JOCKEY;
NO PLATFORM YET
1920 Candidate Chief
Rival to McAdoo

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 21.-Ohio
today became a political battle-ground
following announcement last night
that James M. Cox, former Ohio gov
ernor and defeated candidate in the
1920 election, definitely had entered
the lists as candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination for president.
The battle is between Cox support
ers and hackers of VIM. G. McAdoo,
California democratic presidential
aspirant, who is admittedly popular
in the state. NAi"t
What the former Ohio governor
does in the April primaries will have
much weight with national bourbon
leaders, local democrats believe.
McAdoo Headquarters, in charge of
former Judge David L. Rockwell, here,
was silent today as to what course
will be followed.
Supporters Of Cox believe that Nc
Adoo adherents will not come out in
the open in a primary fight but will
name Cox in their delegate petitions.
This was seen in the filing yester-
day at Columbus Of declaration of
candidacy as delegate Of Harry H..
Weiss, Canton. Weiss named Cox as
first choice and James E. Campbell,
former Ohio governor, as second
choice. Cox's friends believe that
Weiss is McAdoo supporter in dis
guise.
Cox is in Miami, Fla.
MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 21.-Former
governor James M. Cox of Ohio,
democratic standard bearer in 1920,
is again candidate for the presi-
dency, but how far he will press his
fight and what will be his major is
sues, he is not ready to say.
In his 1920 campaign Cox was a
strong apostle Of the league Of nations
and in his speeches during the last
two years he has consistently held
failure Of the United States to enter
the league as responsible for many Of
the current ills, both domestic and
international.

Washington-The soldiers bonus
bill finally has become law.
The measure which has been the
subject of night between Congress
and two successive presidents, was re-
passed by the Senate over President
Coolidge's veto by vote of SO to 26.
This was margin of two votes
more than the necessary two-thirds
majority as compared with the 81
votes there were to spare when the
veto was overridden in the House.
President Coolidge made futile
last minute effort to have his veto
sustained in the Senate, calling to the
White House for a breakfast confer
ence seven Republican senators. Four
of those who previously had voted for
the bill cast their ballots in support
of the executive.
Altogether there were only five SEN
ators who had supported the bill on
its first passage to vote against it.
The last move of the administration
was to seek delay in the vote, Senator
Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania, ask
ing unanimous consent to defer action.
The Senate was in no mood for delay.

Democrat, Arizona, objected there

Scales Sho,U Loss
of Bodily Weighi

Five minutes from now, unless you
eat or drink in the meantime, you will
weigh less than you do now. In fact,
you will weigh less a minute from
now, because the body is constantly
losing weight by evaporation and by
loss of carbon in breathing.
Powerful but exceedingly delicate
scales, devised recently by the Car
negie institute, are now being used
TO measure the sum Of these losses,
states the Popular Science Monthly.
and numerous interesting facts have
been revealed by the scales. The more
clothing person wears the more rap
idly he loses weight, because of in
creased perspiration.
A football player was shown to lose
Ia pounds in game lasting 40 min
utes. A marathon runner lost So
pounds in three-hour race. Ordinary
men, performing no exertion, but
merely sitting in chair suspended
from the scales, have lost weight SO
rapidly that small weights had to be
added constantly to keep the balance
even.

WANTS HIS MARKER
PAINTED BLOOD RED

Requesting that World war yeter-
ans annually repaint his monument in
blood red ito act as reminder of the
blood shed by Minnesota men," John
Bowe, Legionnaire and soldier Of for
tune of Candy, Mimi, has made his
last will and testament.
Bowe, whose service under colors
of several nations has brought him
one of the most unique fighting rec
ords in World war history, now past
fifty-five, is awaiting that last call for
service beyond. In the meantime he
has not forgotten the sacrifices of his
comrades, and by continuation of serv-
ice in the American Legion has earned
the admiration of the fellows for his
fighting spirit.
His early life was one of hardship.
In 1888 he went to Pierre, S. D., to
be in at the opening Of Indian lands
(Which did not OPEN and had to trek
back to Deadwood on foot to secure
employment. The next year he rode
800 miles through the Dakotas to Mon
Old Mexico, saw him in what were
nearly pioneer days. Service in the
war with Spain followed this adven-
turous career.
Then abroad. Bowe visited Portu-
gal, Spain, Italy, Morocco, Algiers,
Egypt, Turkey, Palestine and Greece.
He saw Cuba, Panama, Venezuela,
Martinique and other Central Ameri-
can countries with odd and most dar-
ing of experiences practically every
where he visited.
He is believed to be the first Min
nesotan to get into the World war
in January of 1915 he enlisted in the
French Foreign Legion. There he
served for one cent day until Octo-
Der of that year when he was wound
ed in the Champagne attack near
Ferme Navarin. He won the Serbian
medal for bravery, the French Croix
De Guerre, the fourragere of the
Legion of Honor, Congressional
