First Probable Action.

Probably the first action by. Con-
gress will be adoption OF the resoiu-
tion sponsored by the AgrGulture ann
Interior departments and diro:tinG
the Secretary of the Interior to defer
adjustment of the Northern Pacific
claims and To withhold the issuing
of any additional patents on iands
claimed by the road pending INQUIRY.
The railway company is claiming
an additional 100000 acres of lands
in the national forests in Montana
and Washington under its grants or
more than half 4 century ago. The
claim is contested by the Agriculture
Department, which contends that the
companv has received more Wand than
it was entitled to under the two acts

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The full force OK public opinion on
the Teapot Dome scandal has struck
Washington. Old line leaders like
Senator Lodge realize that unless the
republican administration promptly
cleans house the people will do so at
the polls at the first opportunity.
The suggestion made by Mr.. Lodge
to the President that the resignation
of Attorney General Daugherty be
accepted involves not the slightest
lack of personal feeling on the part
of the Massachusetts leader for Mr..
Daugherty. 1t is simply a case Of
practical politics, of which no one has
a better appreciation than Harry
Daugherty himself.
Mr.. Coolidge. however. has felt that
no man should be convicted without
n hearing. The Attorney General has
asked for an investigation and
chance to refute the charges thft
have been made. can anynoug sd oe on
public accusations which have NOT
becn proved? Mr.. Daugherty is ready
to go before the Senate anu answer
all questions. His health mas not
been good and he has not intended to
continue in the Department OF Jus
tice long any way, but to retire under
fire is not the Daugherty habit. he
is a fighter and will not run away
from his accusers.

forceful character than any that had
gone before.
The visit of the senator's resulted
from a number of conferences at the
Senate and elsewhere, in which most
or the ADMINISTRATION leaders partici-
pated. In a large measure Senators
Lodge and Pepper acted as spokes-
men for these leaders.
While what transpired in the long
conversation at the White House re-
mains . sealed book, it is known that
the consensus of opinion of those
participating in the conferences Of
the republican Senate leaders was
that the administration should be

In the view OF the Senate leaders the
Question of the retirement Of AIr.
Daugherty has become one transcending
ALI personal considerations. They insist
that the matter should be viewed from
a broad standpoint, taking into consid-
GRAFTON fully party policy.
Emphasizing that there was no de-
sire to infringe upon the Presidents g
prenogative of himself deciding who
shall be in the cabinet, senator's said
the administrations record was one OF
which all members of the party must
stand or fall and that there should be .

privileges which, any private citizen

good deal of suspiciAn that the specu-

there is no proof to tfaat effect
Indeed one of the paatdoxes OF the
situat ton is that most of Vhe men who
