Crowd Is Worried
AS Presidents Car
Is Dark and Still
Relief Expressed by Cheer
When They Find He Was
Only Finishing Movie.

President Coolidge's interest in a
movie thriller, combined with the eager
ness of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
road to get him back to Washington
on time, played havoc with reception
arrangements at Union Station last
night when the presidential party re-
turred from its trip to Florida.
Orders to have the presidential spe-
cial in not later than Sis o'clock were
followed so closely that at 8:04 the big
engine painted to a steamy halt on the
lower level of the station, with the
Presidents car parked beside the eleva-
tor to the street level so he would not
have to take unnecessary steps.
Secretary Of State Kellogg and Mrs.
Kellogg and Secretary of Labor Davis
bustled down the platform. Porters
rushed in droves to help handle the
presidential baggage. Secret service
men darted to pre-arranged positions
near the crowd, and austere policemen
pushed the spectators back a foot or
two more
But within the Presidents car all
was darkness. In the dim light of one
platform Secretary Kellogg and Sec
retary Davis could be seen patiently
gripping their hats. Five fun minutes
passed and still there was not the
slightest sign from within the car to

OHIO TREASURER
IS FOUND GUILTY
Buckley Convicted on Ten
Counts, Charging Conspiracy
and Attempted Bribery.
BY the Associated Press.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, February Bert
B. Buckley, Ohio State treasurer, was
convicted tonight by a Federal Court
jury of conspiracy to violate the national
prohibition laws and attempted bribery
He was found guilty on all 10 counts
of the indictment. The verdict was
brought in at 1888 pm, 13 hours after
the Jury took the case.
1t was announced that four ballots
were taken.
Judge Hough said he would defer
sentence to later date which he did
not set and that Buckley's $4,000 bond
under which he has been at liberty will
stand.
Buckley received the verdict in silence
and refused to make any comment.
Conviction of all 10 counts carries a
maximum sentence of % years in the
Federal Penitentiary and a maximum
fine of $4,000.
Buckley was charged with conspiring
with Joseph Sherber, brewmaster at the
jackson Brewing Co., Cincinnati, and
John L. Schrimper and Adoph Gruber.
Cincinnati attorneys, to furnish tips
on impending raids against Cincinnati
breweries through the ATTEMPTED brib-
cry OF John F. Eckhart acting assistant
prohibition administrator for the Ohio
Indiana district.
Eckhart testified that he took part
IN the alleged plot on instructions from
his chief, William N. Woodruff, acting
administrator.
Sherber and Schrimper were indicted
with Buckley and have pleaded guilty.
Gruber testified before the grand Jury
and was not indicted.
When court was adjourned, Haveth e.
Mau, United States district attorx,ay,
who headed the prosecution, corsTatu-
lated the jury.
Mau issued the following statement:
THE verdict speaks for itself and
positively indicates that references to
Senator FeSs, Gov. Cooper and others
named by the unbridled tongues and
the embarrassed mouths Of the defend
ants were without foundation in fact
positively state that they had no con-
nection with the case or any phase OF
it directly or indirectly"

The board referred to in the will is

Walsh Fails in Move to Rap
Interior and Justice
Departments.
WILL ASK FOR SENATE
SALT CREEK JUDGMENT
Lands Committee Votes z to 6.
Glenn Then Withdraws His
Report on Lease.
By the Associated Press.

Republicans of the Senate lands
committee yesterday rejected a report
by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana,
censuring the Interior and Justice De-
partments for their handling of the
renewal of the Sinclair contract for
Salt Creek royalty oil.
Senator Walsh, who was supported in
committee by the Democrats, inme-
diately announced he would go before
the Senate this week and ask it to
pass Judgment on the report.
The report contains severe language
respecting the course pursued by Hubert
Work, former Secretary of Interior, and
now chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee, and of William j.
Donovan, the assistant to the Attorney
General, who is mentioned as likely
member of Herbert Hoover's cabinet.
Renewed in January.
The Sinclair contract, originally let
in 1922 by Albert B. Fall as Secretary
of Interior, was nenewed in January last
year by Hubert Work as Secretary of
Interior. It was Cancelled last October
after five months investigation by the
Department of Justice under the direc-
tion of Mr.. Donovan.
BY voting to yesterday against the
Walsh report the lands committee now
has no report before 1t on the inquiry
conducted last month into the Sinclair
renewal, but Chairman Nye, one of
those voting against Walsh, announced
he might submit his own views later
to the committee.
Senator Glenn, Republican, Illinois,
who had prepared a report upholding
the administration in its handling Of
the contract renewal and its subsequent
cancellation withdrew this upon the
defeat Of the Walsh proposition. If
Senator Walsh submits his report to
the Senate, however, 1t Is considered
likely that the Illinois Senator win do
likewise.
Whitewashing Denied.
Commenting upon the committees
vote yesterday, Senator Nye declared
individual reasons had been expressed
by those voting against the Walsh re-
port, but the action does not neces-
Sarily mean any desire upon the part
of those voting against the report to
whitewash in any way the Interior and
Justice Departments.
"I was opposed" he said, because
Of the implied criticism of Mr.. Donovan
and others connected with the Depart
ment Of Justice. I believe the Depart
ment Of Justice played 100 per cent on
the square with their study of the
validity Of the Royalty oil contract and
that the department has not by its ac-
ton invited any criticism on its part" I"
In his report Senator Walsh declared
that the contract renewal had cost the
Government 100000 and would have
lost more than $2,000,00O to the Gov
ernment had it not been Cancelled. The
Departments of Justice and Interior, he
said, "are open to censure for the man
ner in which the feature of the public
business herein canvaSsed was handled"
Referring to testimony of DR.. Work
that he renewed the contract upon the
advice Of legal counsel supplied to him
by Congress, the Montanan reported
that "the indifference and supineness

HOOVER CABINET
TALK IS REVIVED
Barrett and Smoot Visits
Bring Up Names of Jar
dine and Gates.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.


BELLE ISLE, Miami Beach, Fla,
February with the arrival this aft
ernoon at Belle Isle of Charles S. Bar
rett, until recently head of the Farm
ers' Union, who is to have a conference
with President-elect Hoover tomorrow,
there was revival of speculation upon
the retention Of William s. Jardine as
Secretary of Agriculture in the Hoover
cabinet.
Mr.. Barrett said today that this was
his principal purpose in coming to Belle
Isle at this time, and judging from the
enthusiastic manner In which he spoke
of the Secretary of Agriculture while
talking with sfriends at Mr.. Hoover's
Office, he is no doubt going to boost Mr..
Jardine in no halfway manner when
he sees Mr.. Hoover.
Secretary Jardine is, in Mr.. Barrett's
opinion, the best equipped Secretary of
Agriculture in recent years, at least as
far back as the days of James Wilson,
who served through the administrations
of Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft. He
is convinced that Mr. Jardine would be
a genuine asset to Mr. Hoover il he
continues him on in his present place.
From his own personal observations rs
head of one of the largest and most in
f1uential farm organizations in the
United States, Mr.. Barrett has had oC-
casion to recognize Secretary Jardine'S
peculiar fitness for the post he is now
holding, and because of the vital part
agriculture is to play in the next ad-
ministration Mr.. Barrett is satisfied
that Mr.. Jardine's services will be
needed all the more.
Able to Understand Farmer.
In his opinion Mr. Jardine's chief
value as head of the Department of
Agriculture is his ability to understand
the farmer himself as well as the farm
problems. Moreover, inaSmuch as the
farm-relief plan understood to be ap-
proved by Mr. Hoover which will come
before the extra session of Congress is
substantially the same as what was
recognized several years ago as the Jar
dine plan, the present head of the De-
partment Of Agriculture will be of more

HUMPHREY CH|DES
DU POINT PROBERS
Commissioner Says Inquiry Is
illuminating Illustration of
Bureaucracy Gone insane"

BY the Associated Press.
The financial relationship between
the E. I. du Pont de Nemours Co., the
General Motors Corporation and the
United States Steel Corporation was
held yesterday by the Federal Trade
Commission to have had net result of
assuring an outlet at little or no selling
cost for considerable portion of sew
eral of the du Pont Co.'S most impor-
tant products.
This was the only conclusion drawn
by the commission in It's report on an
exhaustive inquiry into the financial
relationship of the three companies and
its findings were made public along with
a minority view by Commissioner Hum
phreys, which described the investiga-
ton as an illuminating illustration of
bureaucracy gone insane"
From the beginning" he declared,
"the investigation has taken the charac-
ter of a fanatical inquisition, rather
than a quasi judicial investigation"
Transactions Are Reviewed.
The commissions report reviewed at
considerable length the series of trans
actions by which the du Pont interests,
looking for a place to invest its 68,o00,-
900 surplus, secured virtual control of
General Motors and later purchased
more than 100000 shares of United
States Steel common for about $14,-
100000. It was pointed out that the
declaration of 40 per cent dividend
by United States Steel shortly after
ward had the effect OF reducing con-
siderably the price the du Points paid for
the stock.
No stock in the du Pont Co. was
found to be held by either General Mo-
tors or United States Steel, and no
important Office in the Steel Corpora
ton was found to be held by any oftl-
