.LONGWORTH BACKS
|NSURGENT CUSTER
G. O. P. Leader Defends
Party Course in Speech
on House Floor.

During another round of debate in
the House today over the activities
of the La Toilette insurgents, Rep
resentative Longworth. the Republi-
can leader. defended his partys de-
cision to exclude the dozen La Fol-
lette followers from party councils.
Mr.. Longworth said Ire had relia BILE
information that the insurgents who
were not invited to the Republican
caucus to be held February - had not
only openly opposed the Republican
national ticket in the 1924 campaign,
but had campaigned in various States
against Republican senatorial and
congressional candidates. He made
this statement despite a denial in the
House yesterday by Representative
Frear of Wisconsin that the cam
paign activities of the insurgenl
House members had gone hat far.
House leaders said there were plen-
ty of precedents in support of their
contemplated action.
Newspaper accounts Of speeches by
several members of the insurgent group
were quoted by the Republican leader to
show the insurgents had spoken against
Republican candidates for Congress.
Several insurgents interrupted to deny
the accuracy of the quotations.
10
lette supporters after the campaign had
asserted the Progressives had just be-
gun to fight and that they were en-
listed for life in the Progressive move
ment.
They had avowed their purpose, he
said, to defeat the Republican party
in the 1926 congressional campaign,
and their battle cry" was to "oust
the Republicans"
Representative King, Republican,
Illinois, interrupted to remark Theo-
dore Roosevelt in 1912 had denounced
him in his own district as being a
hide bound Republican"
Challenged by La Guardia.
Representative LaGuardia of New
York, member of the La Toilette
! bloc, who was reelected as a Social
ist, told the House that during the
campaign he gave Republicans no
quarter and did not intend to ask
for any now.
You can take away my committee
assignments, he said, but you can't
deprive me of the right to speak on
the floor of the House. I'm going to
keep on fighting where the Repub-
lican strength is waning. You can
kick me out of your caucus, but l can
keep you out of the City Hall in
New York"
Mr.. La Guardia asked Republican
mem bers why, If they are anxious
to stand by President Coolidge, they
don't support the District of Column
bia rent law, which, he said the
President favored; did not work for
ratification of the child labor amend
ment, and did not kick the political
buns out of the Prohibition Service

which require personnel staff,
which could not rightly be paid by
the Government, and the expenses
of which are borne, in a large
measures, by these associations, to

ACTION IN MONTANA
TO BE PUSHED ALSO
Panel Drawn for Middle of Febru-
ary-16 Witnesses in Probe
Here Live in Capital.

Fifty-eight names are on the list
OF witnesses prepared by the Depart
ment of Justice for presentation to
the grand jury here in the case of
Senator Burton X. Wheeler of Mon
tana. Attorney General Stone today
informed the Senate judiciary COM
mittee.
He added that perhaps 20 addi-
tional" would be summoned before
presentation of the case to the grand
jury had been completed. No names
were given by the Attorney General,
only the number being asked for
OF the witnesses already listed p
are TO come from Montana, 6 from
the District of Columbia and the re-
mainder from various States. The
20 additional names under contem-
platior would include 10 from the
District and the remainder from
States otl,-r than Montana.
The Attorney General said that al
though the United States district at
torney in Montana had been in con-
stant touch with the counsel there
for Senator Wheeler relative to the
promised withdrawal of the demurrer
TO the indictment, no word Of the
withdrawal had been received.
VIII hush Ac1Ons
Il have made inquiry of the United
States District Attorney as to the
availa bility of a trial jury for the
month of February" Mr.. Stone said
in a letter to Chairman Cummins. He
advises me a grand jury has been
drawn and will convene the middle
of February at Great Falls and that
IT is expected their deliberations will
last about a week"
In the ordinary course, he continued
after the grand jury has reported, the
courts in Montana draw a petit jury
which in this case would report about
the middle of March.
The Federal grand jury, before
which the Department of Justice Will
seek a second indictment in the Dis
trict of Columbia against Senator
Wheeler, was called together today.
In the Montana indictment the Sen
ator is charged with illegally accept
ing a fee TO represent a constituent in
connection with oil land permits be-
fore a Government department after
his election to the Senate. Attorney
General Stone told the Senate judi
ciary committee that evidence in the
case TO be prosecuted here indicated
there had been a conspiracy to de-
fraud the Government on oil and min
eral lands. and that Testimony could
not be taken without indicating that
Senator Wheeler was involved" in the
transaction.
AS to the opposition arising to con-
frmation Of Mr.. Stones nomination.
Senate leaders were predicting today
that confirmation would be voted by
the Senate next week. Some of the
members who have opposed confrma-
tion, although none indicated
change in position, appeared to agree
that the fight was a losing one. The
judiciary committee meets Monday.
and it was indicated vote might be
taken then, and that the Senate itself
would be asked to take early action.

NEW YORK, January 30.-Gaston
B. Means, former Department of Jus
tice agent, was found guilty by a
Federal court jury today on charges
of conspiring to bribe Government
officials, and was sentenced to pay
fine of $4,000 and to serve a two
Year penitentiary term.
Thomas B. Fielder. Means attorney
who was convicted OF similar
charge, was fined $4,000. The SEN
tences were imposed by Federal Judge
Lindley after the jury had returned
a sealed verdict which had found the
defendants guilty, but recommended
clemency. The court denied motions
to set aside the verdict on the ground
that 1t was contrary to the weight of
evidence.
Fielder said he would imm ediately
file an appeal He expressed conf
dence that the conviction would be
reversed by the Circuit Court of APP
peals and declared his innocence of
the charge Notwithstanding the ver-
diet of the jury.
Means Also to Appeal.
Means had nothing to say. but his
counsel said an appeal would also be
filed in his case. Means is already
under sentence of two years and
fine of $4,000 for violation of the
Volstead act, but today's sentence, on
the motion of Hiram c. Todd. special
United States Attorney, is not to be
concurrent with the previous one.
If Felder's sentence is confirmed,

barred from practice of law.
The verdict was a shock to Fielder.
a white-haired veteran attorney of ~
years experience, who had confidently
expected to be eXonerated. Fielder
and Means had arrived in court about
10 minutes before the verdict was
read.
Means, who had appeared nervous
yesterday afternoon, seemed confident
this morning and was obviously
startled by the verdict.
The verdict, returned by the hrst
Judge -picke ed jury to function in
Federal court trial here, marks one
of many high lights in the sensational
career of Means.
Al intervals in the past eight years
he figured in series of episodes,
ranging from trial for murder to ac-
cusations of graft, in which the
names of men prominent in public
life were banded about.
