 To Whom It May Concern.
 I, Gaston B. Means, desire to make the following statement of facts re- garding my connection with the at tack recently made by the Brook hart-Wheeler senate investigating committee against, former Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty and the department of justice in particular, and the current administration.
 Word From Wheeler
 On February 8, 1924, at Palm Beach, Florida, received tele- gram from my wife in Washington stating that United States Senator Burton K. Wheeler, of Montana, through very close friend, had re- quested that I see him in connection with the above mentioned investiga- tion, The information in this tele- gram came to me in connection with other information at that time.f I promptly reported this to a close friend of Mir. Daugherty. The sug- gestion was made that l sec MT. Daugherty and arrangements to this end were thought to have been per fected, but no such arrangement cul- minated successfully.

JAPAN MAIL STEAMSHIP
 co, IS REORGANIZING
Resignations of Many of the Lead ing Officials Are Being
 Received

By The Associated Press,
 Tokio, Sept. 22.-The resignations today of many of the highest of- 1iciaIs of the Nippon Yusen Naisha (Japan Mail Steamship Company LtdD, brought to climax a long existing dissatisfaction on the part of administrs tive employees of the company with it's management, par ticularly with President Yonejiro Ito.
 The resignations were from all over the world, including the man. agers of the N. Y. K. offices in Seattle, New York and London.
 The immediate cause of the' res ignations, which are said to Total 600, was the dismissal of Il lem ployes who signed a protest to the directors demanding the resigna- tion of President Ito. The employees blamed Ito's policy for the present depression in the compeny's bust mss.
 The marine staffs of the company and the seamen on its vessels have not joined the office employees in their protest but are said 10 bt sympathetic in their attitude.

ICECAPS, GLACIERS
 GETTING LARGER
MacNilan Tells Of Changing
 Conditions in Arctic

Wisacasset, Me, Sept. c2. - Ice caps are increasing in thickness and glaciers are increasing in size in the far north Captain Donald B. Mac Milan Arctic explorer told the As sociated Press today. Captain Mac Milan who has returned here, aft CT a 15 months trip beyond the Arctic Circle said that within his memory so-called valley glaciers had reached the sea.
 This process has been going on for at least 70 years. the explorer said, indicating possible new geologic period. How long it may continue no one can tell, MacMillan said
 Find Coal Deposits
 Enormous coal deposits were dis covered in ElIesmere land by Cap tain MacMillan. According to in- formation given the Associated Press by the explorer who planned to unload from his schooner today scientific specimens brought from beyond the Arctic Circle, the far north once had a climate startling ly different from that from it now possesses, This indicates, he said. that the angle Of the worlds axis may have changed in the course of centuries.
 The coal deposits were discoy- cred by the MacMillan party in a 1,OO0-mile sledge tl1p across Davis strait and into Ellesmere lard. The coal was found near Eureka Sound in seams at some places 5 feet in thickness. Samples of the coal. which he said was bituminous, were brought back by the explorer for analysis.
 The location of the coal deposits, however gave little hope that they could be brought in soon to argu- ment the worlds supply, for they are only a few hundred miles from the North Pole and 500 miles be- yond reach of any transportation system excepting dog sledges.
 Speaking of the discovery of the coal Dr., MacMillan said:
 This simply proves the scientists claim that this land had at one time a temperate climate. The big hills were at one time covered with vegetation and the climate was like that of Pennsylvania. Seams Of coal 25 feet in thickness were found within less than nine degrees Of the north pole.
 The exact location of the de- pcsits was s1 degrees. 40 minutes north latitude. with 52O miles of the pole.

attention to the fact, that was some oher place, and the records will show, entirely different from where l alleged to have been at the time,
 The only reason l made the state- ment the way did was because Of thoEmessage received from Mir. Daugherty just before l took the stand.
 Was Flaming Daugherty
 By quick review of the testimony before the Wheeler committee, with .be documentary evidence available, 1t can be proved conclusively that Senator Wheeler knew that he was framing Mir, Daugherty and the re- publican administration and to some extent this involves the oil investiga- tion, because Senator Wheeler was constantly in close touch with sena- tors Walsh and La Toilette in con- nection with thls inquiry.
 While this frameup was going on l was in conference with Senator Walsh, Senator Wheeler. Senator Dill, Robert La Toilette and Phillip La Toilette. have in my possession a subpoena issued by Senator Dill for me to appear before tie Walsh committee and to testify to evidence that they framed up, and which plan was abandoned because Senator Wheeler decided that he did not want any favorable publicity with drawn from him in connection with the Daugherty investigation that might revert to Senator Dill and the Walsh committee.
 Papers Are Available
 Briefly, there is available now all of the papers, documents and other material in connection with the Daugherty investigation which will absolutely offset the unfavorable record as it now stands; also in con- nection with these documents is a great deal of material in connection with the oil matter. including Nc Adoo's correspondence with Senators Walsh and Wheeler.
 The testimony given before the Wheeler committee by Roxie Stin- son, F. Momand, myself and the ma Jority of the other witnesses, was nothing hut tissue of lies put in the mouths Of these witnesses by Senator Wheeler prima rily to con found and discredit the department of justice and the administration.
 These witnesses and myself were persuaded 10 make these false state nents by Senator Wheeler under threats of indictment in some cases and by promise of gain and aid in others.
 Briefly stated, the letters, cor respondcnce and documents avail able will absolutely refute and con- found the WheeIer-Daugherty inves- tigation findings and throw an ab- soutely different light on the oil in vestigation where prominent demo- crats were urging that their names not be drawn into the matter
 ] spent weeks with Senator Wheel CT. talked personally to nearly every witness that approved before the committee and gained Senator Wheeler's confidence to the extent that I read. assorted and handled most of the letters. documents, etc, that come to the committee.

Ter reported back that Mir, Daugh- erty said that 1t would be impossible for anybody to successfully frame him up. and that ho "did not give q dam" about what was going on in Senator Wheeler's office. How ever Colonel Miller, understanding more of'the details of what was go- ing on. requested that the efforts to secure this information not be drop ped, but be reported to him, which did, from day to day
 Get Copies of Letters
 Y In the meantime Senator Wheeler had secured some of the copies of the letters that Jess smith had writ ten to Roxle Stinson. and with these letters as q basis, allowed them to be read in way that was intended on the part of Jess Smith, and inter- preted in different way. All such letters were used as the basis for the frameup, Wheeler taking the position that he was forced 10 con meet Jess Smith and Howard Man Eington and others directly with Mir. Daugherty, all the while having fin his possession (and he has now) the original statements taken from un- derworld characters and bootleggers that not at any time did they hear that Mr. Daugherty or the adminis- tration were involved in any way in any fraudulent tra lsactions Sena- tor Wheeler suppressed such infor- nation and would not allow any witnesses who supplied with state ments and information showing con clusively that Mir. Doherty was not involved in any fraudulent matters at all. " People who called 10 see Senator Wheeler furnished him with letters they had received showing that any attempt 10 reach Mir.

Just where the north pole was then 1t is hard to conjecture. Such information, while not of great in- terest to the layman, is of tremen- dous interest to the geologist."
 While, MacMillan said. 1t is al- most universally believed that the world is at the end of a great glacial period and that polar ice is decreasing, he asserted that his studies through the past 16 years had proved beyond doubt that all the ice caps and glaciers in the far north were increasing.
 Within his own recollection, he said inland glaciers had reached the sea. These reaching the ocean and breaking off would cause an increasing number of icebergs, he asserted.
 Just how long this period of advance will continue no one knows" the explorer said. Tt may be temporary but we do know that they have been advancing for more than 70 years"

 Plans His Attack
 The only evidence that Wheeler
 had of any possibility of an attack
 on the department of justice and
 MT. naugherty which he disclosed to me, were some records in regard to bringing Into Washington of moving pictures of the Dempsey -Carpentier fight. Senator Wheeler had this evidence more or less in documen- tary form and stated to me he was going to use this as an attack on , Secretary of State Hughes, President Coolidge and others who attended
 the exhibit of these pictures. A for mer agent of the department of jus- : tice, either directly or through some friends, had furnished Senator
 Wheeler with this information and , eyidences I reported to friends of
 Mr. Daugherty that this was the
 only evidence that Senator Wheeler had. Wheeler Heard Stories
 In the meantime Senator Wheeler, because of publicity that he was about to or had offered a resolution to investigate the department of jus- tice and MT. Daugherty, began to have many callers at his office with the most sensational statements and
 stories as to conditions that existed at the department of justice. In
 each and every instance l explained to him that there was nothing of
 substance in the statements that these visitors were giving him, and showed why the statements could not be true and that they were en- anating from people who had been
 discharged from the department of justice.
 Upon my return from Florida and at conference with Senator Wheel CT, 1t was agreed that l was to as-
 sist him in the investigation of tho [ attorney general and the department
 Of Justice in the way of furnishing tof evidence, examination and coach- , ing of witnesses, etc.
 Senator Gets Desperate
 Wheeler grew desperate in his ef-
 forts to find some information on which he could base charges against the administration and against the department of justice. saying that he was working with La Toilette and had certain plans in view that made 1t imperative that he make good in
 connection with his public state ments as to the conditions in the de- partment of justice, and that the de-
 partment of justice be connected
 with the alleged oil scandals. These
 facts, and what was going on in
 Senator Wheeler's office and that an
 effort was being made to frame MT.
 Daugherty, were reported to Colonel
 Thomas Miller, the alien property
 custodian, an official and personal
 friend of Mr. Daugherty, with the
 request that he give this informa-
 ton to MT. Daugherty. Colonel Mil
