vEN|zELOS HAS
MYSTERIOUS
MALADY
Appears to Be Dying at
Times, Then Receivers,
Council Is Told.
BY PAUL DRANDAKIS,
Inhaxnafional News Service.

ATHENS, Feb. Premier Eleu-
therios Venizelos is suffering from a
mysterious malady which is puZzling
the physicians to diagnose. 1t was
learned today.
Minister of Justice Kafandaris,
amidst great applause. told the ma
tfonal assembly that the famous
statesman's illness is not believed to
be serious and that he is already
showing improvement.
But the ailment from which our
distinguished colleague is suffering
is q most mysterious one," added
Kafandaris. Some times the
symptoms disappear entirely; at
other times they become so aggra-
waited that the patient appears to
be dying. The chief fear Of the
doctors Is that the strain will
weaken the heart"
Venizelos has agreed not to re-
sign until after the arrival of
Prof. Desques, famous French
specialist who is on his way here
from Paris. He is due Monday.
In the meanwhile KafandariS is
planning a new cabinet.
Venizelos may go to Switzerland
to recuperate after the government
Is reorganized. The new cabinet
probably will pledge itself to carry
out Venizelos' program.

to be equivalent to an appointment
by Gov. Albert c. Richie. Mr..
Miller Is expected to take the oath
of office in Upper Marlboro Tues
day.
Mr.. Miller Is active In grange
work, and 1t is understood had the
Endorsement of a large majority Of
the Democratic voters in the dis

of the Chillum district road COM
mittee. Mr.. Miller was born where
he now lives fifty-three years ago,
and is son of the late James

time being widely informed that If
they now will make their contr1bu-
lions for this year, 1924, before
the national conventions meet there
will be no entries of their names
or of the amounts Of their contri-
buttons in the books Of the Clerk
of the House.
In other words, if they contribute
after the conventions and before
the elections there will be publicity
about it by Federal statute,
whereas, if they contribute now
there win be. no need to be any
publicity about it whatsoever.
This argument is being used by
political scouts in quarters from
lNflich the. largest contributions are
usually expected.
Mr.. Dohenys case is held to
indicate that the field of contribu-
tons to political endeavors has
barely been touched by Congress
sional Investigators.
Mr.. Doheny's $4,000 actually re-
ported as having been contributed
to the Democratic party in 1920,
when added to the $4,000 known
to have been contributed by him
to the Democratic deficit, is seen
to produce a total only Of $34, 300
Out Of his $4,000 admitted by
him to have been contributed to
Democratic campaign purposes in
1920, there still remains $40, 200,

Meanwhile the additional $25, 200
which Mr.. Dohehy on the stand
said here that he contributed to
Republican campaign purposes in
1920 is also lost in the mists of
incidental local efforts and cannot
be discovered in the records of the
Clerk of the House.
Mr.. Doheny, however, did dis
close the purpose to which his Re-
publican contribution was dedicated.
He said that he spent $4,000

The time, the place, and the

purpose Of Mr.. Doheny's unreported
contributions to the Democratic
party remain undisclosed and un-
determined.
The possible outcome of this re-
newed exploration into the subject
of campaign contributions is that
Congress may enact a statute pro-
viding publicity for all contribu-
lions made to all political parties
not only during the few months of
national campaigning, but also
during the months and years be-
fore the campaign start and after
the campaigns have ended and are
getting finally footed up and paid

NEW MOVES AIM
At 0UST|NC OF
DAUGHERTY
Resolution Asks Information
on Granting of immunity
in War Frauds.
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
international News Service.

The new yelled attacks upon the
administration Of Attorney General
Harry M. Daugherty were launched
in the Senate today while an "oust-
err" resolution awaited formal con.
sideration.
The move against Daugherty
came in the form Of apparently
harmless resolutions requesting ''in-
formation" but in the background
there were rumbles of an. approach.
Ing political storm which may ulti.
mately end in Impeachment proceed,
lngs against the Attorney General
Both resolutions were directed to
ward Daugherty's conduct of wal
fraud prosecutions. One, sponsored
by Senator George w. Norris Rep.
Of Nebraska, asked information on
charges that Daugherty granted
criminal immunity to war fraud
grafters in return for cash settle
mentg on the amounts stolen from
the Government. The second, faith.
cred by Senator King Dem.) OF
that Daugherty has wasted" q

to prosecute war fraud cases.
The Norris resolution, with the
backing Of the insurgent Repub
lican group. was considered ex.
tremely significant. 1t requested
Daugherty to tell whether he had
ever entered any agreement with
persons or corporations, accused OF
war frauds, to grant them criminal
immunity In. return for cash set.
Elements of the amounts alleged to
have been obtained from the Gov
eminent by fraud. This request
was based on reports that such
settlements totaled more than
2,500,0 900 to date. It also requested
Daugherty to tell what authority
OF law exists" for such settlements.
Report on Fund Sought.
The King resolution asked the At
torney General to tell what DISPOSE
ton he made of the $1,000, 900 giver
him by Congress to prosecute wal
fraud cases. 1t also asked for a re
port on what progress was made N
each prosecution and for a special
report upon the suit launched
against the Wright-Martin Aircraft,
Company, of New York, charged
with being Overpaid $5,250,0 by
the War Department.
Kings resolution was said TO be
the first step in a Democratic move
to impeach the Attorney General on
charges Of neglect of duty"
King also sponsored a second
resolution requesting Secretary of
War Weeks to report to the Senate
the total and individual "overpay-
ments made on war contracts" as
determined by a War Department
audit. These overpayments were
said to total $4,000, 900, Of which
the Government has never recov.
cred a cent.
The ''ouster" resolution, intro.
duced by Senator Wheeler Dem.)
of Montana, meanwhile occupied the
background, awaiting disposition of
a similar resolution directed against
Secretary of the Navy DENLY. AL.
though Democrats were anxious to
force a record vote upon it, there
were indications it would be de.
feated. Insurgent Republicans were
said to oppose it because they felt
Its passage might embarrass their
plans for forcing a more serious
investigation into the Attorney Gen.
erals administration of the Depart
ment Of Justice.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Cables from

by dress manufacturers confirm
early season hints that skirts are
to be much shorter. Some say the
new skirts will be cut barely below

Alfred Fantl, q resident buyer
here, with an office in Paris, said,
however, that American styles this
spring will not follow the French
designs too closely. Panel effects
will make shorter slxirts necessary,
he added, but the American models
