Daugherty that the committee want
ed to hear the former attorney gen.
eral himself next Friday, and got a
promise that his answer to the re-
quest would be forthcoming Mon

Senator Lodge came in momentar-
lily to make a brief but absolute de-
NAL that he had aided anybody, any
where, to obtain permits for the ex-
portation OF whisky. Means had
mentioned him on direct eXamina-
ton as having been concerned with
the granting of such permits to
Craven Brothers, a New York. firm.
The senator said he had never even
heard Of the concern.
Fink followed Senator Lodge by
unexpectedly demanding that he be
allowed to go on the stand. He
ider titled himself as 1.-The man Frank

Subdued by the chairman, Fink
left the room just before Senator
Wheeler entered, and the prosecutor
was unable to get HIM returned later.
In some detail, Senator Wheeler lat
er charged Fink with Justification,
and the committee identified him as

terry about CIV. It. Underwood, who
assisted in that enterprise, was deep.
ened when Means agreed that was
a false name. and declared he had re-
ceived money from "Underwood' up
to last April.
Means, saying that he did not wish
any false impression to be drawn
from former testimony, declared that
though the "woman's good govern
ment league had aided the investi.
cation of prohibition and Fl. J..

gator, had been on his payroll in the
work. there was nothing wrong about
it. He was formally and finally ex-
cused from attendance, and will go

pending charges in the federal court
begins Monday.
A L. Fink issued a statement to-
night saying ne bad heard the SEN

prove a "dastardly plot" against

attacked Senators Wheeler and
