FEBRUARY SETS
NASH RECORD

FEBRUARY, the shortest month of
the year, was the greatest month
In the history Of the Nash Mocos9
Company. Production Of the Nash
built Ajax SIX also reached new.
high record during February. The
total output Of the Nash.Aja x plants

I4,1ls cars. Mash alone outsEripped
It's previous record month, August,
1925. by q margin OF several hum
dred cars.
d. Il. McCsrty. general sales
manager Of the Nash Motors Coms
pary, pointed out that February
was the 18th consecutive month
Nash sales have surpassed the.
record set by corresponding months
OF the previous Year---wfth the ex.
ception OF November, 1885, when
production was arbitrarily halted
to bring the new Enclosed cart
motor into manufacture.
despite the handicap Of fewer
working days. said Mr.. McCarty,
both Nash and Ajax built and
shipped more cars last month than
In any previous month In our hisN
tory. The plants are working over
time to meet the demand for Nash
and Ajax cars which Is sweeping
the nation as never before. And
our manufacturing efforts are
again being vigorously Increased to
cone with the flood OF orders pour
ing in from all sections OF the
ecuntry.
In spite Of the tremendous ship
ments to the dealer organization
throughout February untitled retail
orders greatly exceed orders on Tile
At this time year ago. Among
the cities that have q large number
OF untitled retail orders notW1tn-
standing are Chicago, with 1V6:

In Chicago during show week our

cifcally found that he (Archbald)
was not guilty for the sole reason
that that act was committed while he
was a district Judge, and that they
had no jurisdiction
The brief then discusses the ques-
ton of whether there is any power
which the House can exercise in con
nection with this case should the facts
warrant their exercise and assuming
that Commissioner Fenning is not
subject to impeachment. In this con-
nection the brief recites the history
of Representative Blanton's charges
against Commissioner Fenning, draw
ing the conclusion that they orig1-
mated when the Commissioner failed
to meet his demands in the Sergt. Lee
case. 1t then concludes that the scope
of the legislative and executive func-
tions Is clearly defined in the Con
stitution and the privileges of the
legislative branch have already been
exceeded In this case
The brief then concludes with sum-
mariZation of the charges and their
refutation, part Of which follows:
Charges Are Grouped.
THE "a charges presented to the
House and the mass Of evidence
adduced at the hearings conducted
by this committee may be generally
but correctly grouped under three
heads: Acts of Mr.. Fenning as ~
public Official t2) lawyer. t3) a
fiduciary.
"U AS an officer: Not an iota OF
evidence Of any official misconduct
has been produced. Indeed. those
acts of Mr.. Fenning as Commits
sioner Of the District of Columbia
which have been assailed the evidence
shows to have been taken in a COM
mendable effort 10 serve the public
fearlessly, honestly and efficiently.
Every assaled official act 1t has now
been shown. was the unanimous act
Of the three Commissioners of the
District, and none is characterized by
the slightest wrongdoing.
"(2) AS n lawyer: At the end Of
quarter OF century Mr.. Fenning
has had his professional career sub
jected to searching scrutiny. with the
result that not one judge and not
one brother lawyer has been found
to come forward with any word of
criticism of his professional conduct.
"t3) AS fiduciary: We unhesitat-
ingly assert that no more remarkably
excellent record could possibly be
shown on behalf of any fiduciary, in
dividual or corporate. than that which,
again after searching inquiry, has
been presented to this committee. II
is evident that no case in which this
man has served has not been raked
fore and aft in the vain hope of uncov-
ering a basis for complaint. With the
single exception of what Mr.. Justice

have referred to as the organic act Of
the present form Of government for
this District. The section obviously is
a limitation upon the making of con-
tracts and the penalty provided in 1t
Is an avoidance of the contract

while the question Is not one with
which this committee need be burden
ed, 1t Is clear. we think, that a con-
tract made with a corporation can
not be held to be one in which a mere
stockholder in that corporation Is per
sonally interested and reference to
section 80, r. S. ID. c.. will show
that 1T relates to no other sort of
contracts. This section was origi-
nally enacted IS years ago at a time
when the conduct of commercial af-
fairs was not largely in the hands of
corporations, but was carried on by
individuals or firms. To hold that it
has application to mere stockholder
In any one Of the numerous corpora
tions now in existence and which deal
with the District of Columbia would
be to give to the law a meaning
which 1t was never intended to have.
Fairness to a business concern of un-
questioned standing and reputation
permits. II indeed 1t does not require,
the comment that there has been no
attempt to charge or show that the
District of Columbia has ever been
taken advantage of in any way or
subjected to any loss by reason of
it's dealings with Rudolph, West & Co.
Indeed, the undisputed evidence is
that that corporation has never re-
celved any contract from the District
OF Columbia except in open competi-
tion with others engaged in similar
lines of business and that in every
case such contracts were awarded by
a board or committee directly charged
with the performance OF that duty"
Actions Before Taking Office.
Taking up the subject OF whether
or not an officer of the United States
can be removed from office for actions
previous to his induction into Office,
the brief does not admit that Mr.. Fen
ming is such an officer, but assumed
for considerable of the legal aspect
ton that no previous cases have been
before the Congress to provide an
adequate precent, except that OF
Judge Archibald The brief then
quotes from statements by Represen-
tative Michener of Michigane during

cred.
Has Handled Millions.
when 1t Is considered that as a
f1duciary this man has handled mil
lions of dollars; that the uncontra.
dicted testimony shows that there has
not been one cent of loss or deprecia-
tion in principal or In interest; that
with extraordinary promptness the
funds Of his wards have been carefully
and safely invested. always under the
direction Of and with the approval
Of the court; and that his accounts
have been regularly rendered, care
fully audited, and in every one Of his
hundreds of cases made the subject
of court approval, it will be conceded
that 1t is no extravaganza to say
that II would be hard to find an
equal of this uniformly excellent rec
ord. And when these facts are con-
sidered, the comparatively trivial
amount involved in the bond premium
commission question, and which. as
we have shown, will be credited with
all possible speed. becomes insignifi-
cant. Indeed. as the record shows. in
individual cases the amount annually
involved in the much discussed COM
mission on bond premiums has often
been as low as $1.25 and seldom. If
ever. as high as $40. For instance.
In the test case Of Adler. the amount
involved in the last year tthe high
est of any year in this case) was 50.
I'VE venture to say that the law
yers constituting this committee never
had brought to their attention in any
capacity a record of a life work so
completely documented and so fraught
with evidence of meticulous care and
steadfast integrity.
