In response to the latest accusations
against the committee, made by Charles
z. MatSon of Lincoln, Nebr., in a letter
to Vice President Curtis, Nye entered a
ence In dragging red herring across
the trail to conceal the worth while
things resulting from the committee
investigation"
The chairman said he would return
to Nebraska before election and would
subpoena Matson. The trip to Nebraska

MORE SERIOUS VIEW HERE.
Washington Now Sees Revolt As Of
Real Significance.

BY the Associated Press.
A sharp change in the opinion Of
Washington offlcialdom as to the ser1-
business of the Brazilian instruction
was manifest last night as reports came
to the Capital from the Latin
American Republic.
Some observers previously had ex-
pressed the opinion that 1t was the
result of repercussions of recent revolts
in other Latin American countries and
the economic depression with which
Brazil has been affected to the same
measure as other countries.
Military observers pointed out q
factor which might have a bearing on
whether the instruction may be pro-
longed over considerable period. This
was the vast distances between the
points along the coast and in the in
terror where it would appear the revolu-
tionlstS have to measure been

Both Sides Hampered.
These distances would prevent an
immediate junction of the revolving
forces, but also would hamper the gov

many scattered areas so far from loyal
centers.

FORMAL MEETING
Monarch Conducts First Investi-

Illness.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 4.-For the first
time since his recovery from his serious
illness of year ago King George today
held an investiture in the throne room
of Buckingham Palace. More than 100
recipients of honorS in the new year
list received the insignia of their Or
ders and their decorations.
The investiture was a formal affair
and all attending wore full uniform or
levee dress, the scene being an ever
moving pageant of color King George
was a resplendent figure In a scarlet and
gold uniform of field marshal.
For more than half an hour he stood
while recipients of the honors passed
slowly before him. His bodyguard of
Yeomen of the Guard with their Tudor
uniforms added medieval touch to
the scene.
Last year, while King George was still
i'll, the Prince of Wales deputized for
him at the new year investiture.

RED SCARE" PROBE
BY u. S. IS DENIED
Mitchell Has No Official
knowledge of 100000
Communist Uprising Fund.

The Department of Justice knows
nothing officially of a million-d
fund reported sent to this country from
Soviet sources to finance Nationwide
Communist uprising in America-be-
yond what it reads in the newspapers.
The department sees no reason for
launching a Federal inquiry of the
widespread Communist activities in this
country and, therefore, none has been
made or Is planned.
This was announced at the Attorney
Generals Office today, following recur-
rent reports that the department is in
vestigating Red" disorders and demon
strations in connection with a world
wide uprising" called for next Thurs
day.
Overt Act Necessary.
The department pointed out that
there Is no provision of law authorizing
it. to conduct an inquiry, unless the
activities of the organizations in ques-
ton should develop into some overt
act against the Government. In that
event the department would be COM
PEELED to investigate, whether the act
was committed by Communist group
or some other body or individual.
In other words, the Department of
Justice is not officially concerned with
any local disturbances of Communist
organizations or gatherings and is leav-
ing all such incidents for municipal,
county or State authorities to deal with.
In accordance with this policy, the
Bureau of Investigation has collected

heralded demonstration day" set for

edge of the reported million-dollar fund

SEE LITTLE CHANGE
IN TAFT'S CONDITION
Former Chief Justice Neither
Gained Nor Lost Ground
During Fair Night.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
William Howard Taft's condition
showed little change today, his nurse
reporting that he spent fairly COM
Portable night, and that there were no
indications that he had lost or gained
ground. This was the twenty-first an
niversary of his Inauguration as Presi-
dent.
His physicians think he may linger
indefinitely unless hardening of the
arteries brings about some quick
change. They seem to regard this as
likely.
The official bulletin issued by Drs.
Francis r. Hagner and Thomas A.
Clayton after visiting him shortly be-
fore noon said:
The condition of the former Chief
Justice is unaltered since yesterday He
Is comfortable and continues to take
a moderate amount of nourishment."
DR.. Hagner added the former Chief
Justice recognized those in the room
about him today and smiled as he
murmured good by to the physicians
as they departed.
The stiffness that has surrounded the
Taft home for days was broken this
morning by an airplane high above the
residence. The roar of the motor was
plainly audible as the big plane dived
and rose and then swept aWay.
The police guard in front of the
home was absent for the first time in
several days, and there were fewer
visitors.
Robert A. Taft, the former Chief
Justices son, who came to Washington
last week when his fathers condition
was extremely grave, has gone back to
Cincinnati, but expects to return to the
Capital after few days.

Announcement of Plans Will
Be Made From His Home
in Pennsylvania.
WOULD OPPOSE GRUMPY;
WARE PETITIONS FILED
Health of Latter Is Strong Factor
in Complicated Senatorial
Situation.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Secretary James j. Davis, who has
been Secretary of Labor under three
Presidents, is seriously considering run
ming for the Republican senatorial NOM
nation in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Davis
has made no announcement Of his plans,
but when he does it will be made at his
home in Pennsylvania.
In some quarters it was said today he
had decided to seek the senatorial NOM
nation.
A year ago Secretary Davis accepted
appointment as Secretary of Labor to
succeed himself in the Hoover cabinet
1t was with the understanding that he
would remain for year That he could
continue on as Secretary of Labor If
he desired is no secret.
If the Secretary of Labor decides to
cast his hat in the ring, it will be in
opposition to Senator Grundy, serving
now under appointment of Gov. Fisher
to fill the vacancy caused by the Sen
ate's rejection of William S. Ware. Ware
himself has already announced his can
didacy for the nomination and his Pc
titions are filed. If he persists in his
determination to run for the Senate,
believing that the people of his State
will vindicate him, and Mr.. Davis also
entered the race, there would be a
three contest.
Must Decide Before March 81.
Mr. Davis must make his decision be-
fore March 81, the last day for filing
for the senatorial primary, which takes
place this year May 20.
so1 cif in panT1Cul-
vania has become complicated Mr..
Wares determination to seek nomination
again has been a major cause of the
troubles there. Strenuous efforts have
been made to persuade him to withdraw,
but Mr. Ware, who is now in Florida,
has turned deaf ear to all such pleas.
The selection of gubernatorial cam
didate has further complicated the SEN
atoriaI situation in Pennsylvania. Sena-
tor Grundy is backing, according to re-
ports, the candidacy of Samuel S. Lewis
for governor. Francis Skunk Brown,
former attorney general of the State,
who has been Ware supporter in the
past, has announced his candidacy for
governor. There has been much discus
sion of the possibility of a deal be-
tween the Ware and Grundy forces
which would substitute candidate for
Lewis who would be satisfactory to
Ware, with the understanding that Ware
would drop out of the senatorial race
and leave the field to Grundy. But
nothing so far has come of it.
Wares Health Is Factor.
Secretary Davis has been urged by his
friends to run for governor as well as
Senator in the Pennsylvania primaries.
1t is not beyond the bounds of posi-
bility that if Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Ware
could come to some kind of a political
agreement the Secretary of Labor might
become a candidate for governor with
Ware running for the Senate. A great

HAYNES RE|ND|CTED
ON BANK CHARGES
"Man in Green Hat" Also Ac-
cused in Report of Grand
Jury to Court.

A new indictment was returned to-
day by the grand jury against Harry
v. Haynes, former president of the
Farmers and Mechanics National Bank,
charging him with embezzlement, max
ing false entries in the books of the
bank, misapplication of funds Of the
bank and abstraction of securities.
The new true bill' was made neces-
sary when it was discovered that a
woman pensioner of the United States
was serving on the grand jury which
returned the indictment last Septem-
Der. Haynes is at liberty under bond
of $4,000 furnished by Milton S. Kron-
helm.
The first eight counts of the new
charge are said to be Identical with the
allegations of the former indictment to
which have been added five additional
charges. The ninth count alleges the
embezzlement of $1,46450 which had
come into his possession December z,
1927, and which is said to have been. the
banks profit on a stock investment,
which the banker is alleged to have
appropriated to his own use. The tenth
count alleges misapplication of that
same amount.
Additional Counts.
In the eleventh count it is charged
that Haynes drew check for $1,000
against one of his personal accounts
June 2, 1928, when he was already In
debted to the bank, and thereby i'm
periled the financial institution by
subjecting it to an unwarranted and
improper risk. A similar transaction
in connection with a check for $4,000
August 6, 1928, forms the basis of the
twelfth count. Another similar trans
action with a check for $4,000 May 10,
1928, is alleged in the thirteenth count.
Assistant United States Attorney
Irwin Goldstein. who presented the case
to the grand jury, explained that the
last three "overdrafts" were subsequent
ly made good to the bank. The risk to
which the bank was subjected in the
interval. he said, constituted the offense

PRESIDENT WORKS
ON ANNIVERSARY
Hoover's Health Improves
During First Year
in Office.

BY the Associated Press
President Hoover today reached the
end of his first IL months as Chief
Executive of the Nation, paused not at
all to celebrate the anniversary of his
induction into Office, and with his char
acteristic energy swung vigorously into
the work of his administrators second
year.
Work" the one-word formula which
he advanced several months ago as the
solution for the Nations business prob
lens, he prescribed for himself as the
principal feature of the days OBJ
servance.
Schedule Unchanged.
His schedule for the anniversary
hardly differed from those of other
days. Exercise with the medicine ball
cabinet" upon arising, hearty break
fast and arrival at his desk by 8 o'clock
constituted the morning routine. An
hour for lunch, additional conferences
with department heads, and the regu-
lar Tuesday press conference completed
the days program.
A few fine lines about his eyes and
a 15-pound reduction in his ample fig
ure are the only changes that year
in the White House has brought to
the Chief Executive. His smile is as
warm and spontaneous as ever and his
affability, his friends say, has, If any
thing, increased.
A carefully regulated program of diet.
exercise and rest is responsible for this
highly satisfactory situation.
He has seen tn III ton TINT he WQS
not stinted in the way of recreation.
Throughout the Summer last year he
made regular weekend trips of two
and three days to his fishing camp
high in the Blue Ridge Mountains of
Virginia.
Sleep Important Factor.
There he f1shed until the legal sea-
son closed, hiked and occasionally rode
horseback, but above all slept. Mr.
Hoover has found that he sleeps par
ticularly well In the clear air of a high
altitude
In his exercise program, daily ses-
sionS at medicine ball have had a
prominent part. Each morning just
after arising Mr.. Hoover, with a group
of close friends, repairs to a secluded
spot in the White House grounds and
there exercises vigorously for half an
hour
Those who share this activity with
him have come to be known as the
medicine ball cabinet" a phrase de-
rived from the famous tennis cabinet"
of the Roosevelt era. They include
Chief Justice Stone, members of the
cabinet and other high Government on

Instead of approprtating $4,000 600
