demand of the Robinson resolu-
ton, passed by a 47-to-34 vote,

Impeachment Only Recourse.
Inc only recourse left to Mr..
Denby's enemies in the Senate is
TO resort to impeachment proceed
ings to GUST him from the Cabinet,
ana there were few observers at
the Capitol today who believed that
this will be tried or that it would
be successful If attempted.
impeachment proceedings must
originate in the House for one
thing. with the Senate sitting as
trial court in case the House
rtndS an officers conduct to be
such as to warrant impeachment,
The House indicts for high
crimes or malfeasance in office, and
the Senate tries. Even the bitter
est OF Denby's opponents have not
charged, In the sensational debate
which preceded the custer vote, that
he was guilty Of a high crime or
that he was guilty Of malfeasance
In office. They based their case
and their votes on the ground that
DENLY acted stupidity" in letting
the Oil reserves get away from
the navy, and consequently was
incompetent" to occupy a Cabinet
post Of tremendous responsibility.
President Explains Attitude.
The President was particularly
cognizant Of this situation. He said
in his statement:
"The dismissal of an officer of
the government, such as is involved
in this case, other than by i'm.
parchment, is exclusively an exc
cutive function" Mr.. Coolidge de-
clared in a statement issued shortly
after the Senate, in one of the most
dramatic sessions in history, de.
manded Denby's ousting because Of
his connection with the naval oil
leases.
IT do not propose to sacrifice
any innocent man for my own wei.
fare, nor do propose to retain in
office any unfit man for my own
welfare" the President said. "I
shall try to maintain the functions
Of government unimpaired, to act
upon the evidence ana the law as
I find 1t, and to deal thoroughly
and sumfnarily with every kind of
wrong doing"

and Enemies.
President Coolidge's ringing reply

President Coolidge's ringing reply
not to permit Secretary DENLY to
resign under fire" drew warm
commentator and bitter attacks in
the Senate today. Administration
leaders praised the President s
statement, saying he acted wisely
ard in the only way open to him
under authority of law.
Denby's enemies, however, reiter-
ated their demand that the Secretary
retire from the Cabinet Immediately,
renewing charges that he acted in
defiance Of Congresses policy in
leasing the naval reserves to private
interests. I
Senator Pepper Rep.) Of Pennsyl-
vania, who opposed the Robinson
resolution in the Senate, declared:
IF the American theory of gov
eminent Is to be maintained, there
must be a division of functions be.
tween the Executive, legislative,
and Judicial branches.
IF any Of these branches invade
the territory Of another, the in
vasion must be repealed with deci-
siveness and dignity. It is in this
spirit that the Presidents state

be approved by all right thinking
people,"
Senator Ladd Rep.), of North
Dakota, who opposed the resolu-
ton said: ''If President Coolidge
has faith in Secretary DENLY, he
did precisely what he should have
done under the circumstances"
SENATOR TRAdMELL Dem.)
of Florida: "The Senate has per-
formed its duty and it is now up
to the President to perform his

my opinion, the facts as already

that Silas III. Strawn, Of Chicago,

are unfit to prosecute the Gov

Teapot Dome oil investigation.
Adams claimed that on account

they cannot adequately represent
the Government in the prosecution
OF these cases. s.

that, so far as know, these men

didn't seem like scandal party

And then the Senators permitted
Mr.. McAdoo to make @ speech, a
very good speech, too. as campaign

been outbursts OF applause, ur-
doubtedly, If the audience could
have heard. But the audiences
don't really hear the proceedings.

them, with the Senators right in

softly excepting when somebody
gets mad and nobody got mad yes

the audiences come for unless 1t Is
just to see.
OF course the members OF the
committee asked Mr.. McAdoo Ques-
tons, but not very many. The Re-
publicans probably figured that no
matter whether or not Mr.. McAdoo
has done anything to invite criticism
he has been put out Of the way as
a presidential candidate and why
worry about him. And there wasn't
anything for the Democrats to do
but just let Mr.. McAdoo make his
speech.
