NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Daugherty's Resignation Is
Expected, Following New
Corruption Charges.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
IF HARRY DAUGHERTY is still at
torney general of the United States
when this reaches the reader the ex
pert prognosticators in Washington
are badly at fault. Last Thursday
they predicted his resignation from
the cabinet would be in the hands of
the President by the end of the week,
and that it would take effect on Mon
day, the day when Secretary of the
Navy Denby was to step out of office.
Mr. Daugherty went to Florida for a
stay of two weeks, but was summoned
back to Washington, arriving Friday.
Already the President had changed his
mind about asking the attorney gen
eral to retire, according to reports, and
was considering his successor. Those
said to have been approached included
Senator Borah of Idaho, Judge Wil
liam S. Kenyon of the Federal Court
of Appeals, Federal Judge Frank S.
Dietrich of Idaho and Curtis D. Wil
bur, a Supreme court Judge of Califor
nia.
President Coolidge's change of mind
presumably was brought about partly
by the sensational revelations of offi
cial corruption to the federal grand
jury in Chicago that indicted Charles
It. Forbes, former director of the vet
erans' bureau. These were not related
to the Forbes case, so the information
was carried to Washington by a spe
cial prosecutor. Some of It seriously
involves the Department of Justice, re
lating to procurement of pardons for
federal prisoners. This is only a part
of the matters that will be investigat
ed by the senate committee named to
handle the charges against Daugherty.
The committee is made up of Senators
Brookhart of Iowa, chairman ; Moses
of New Hampshire, Jones of Washing
ton, Ashurst of Arizona and Wheeler
of Montana.
This Department of Justice evidence
was not the most sensational carried
to Washington from Chicago, how
ever. Charges of wholesale corruption
and graft during the Harding admin
istration were made against certain
persons known as "the Ohio crowd,"
and two members of the house of rep
resentatives, as yet not publicly
named, are directly accused of having
collected between $150,000 and $200,
000 in two or three years from federal
prisoners and their friends as payment
for pardons, paroles, commutations
and ether forms of clemency. If the
charge? are substantiated, these con
gressmen face expulsion from the
house and also indictment for a penal
offense. As soon as Special Prosecutor
Crim reported in Washington, Presi
dent Coolldge directed the Department
of Justice to take immediate steps to
ward the prosecution of tjie two rep
resentatives. The house was asked to
Investigate the matter by Representa
tive Garrett of Tennessee.
Whether officials of the Department
of Justice were in collusion witty the
members of congress ,who received
payments for dispensation of clemency
Is not clear. One official, closely Iden
tified with the Harding administra
tion who was active in obtaining
clemency in cases in which the mem
bers of" congress were interested, is
said to have been their dupe.
THOSE telegrams that passed be- '
tween Washington and E. B. Mc
Lean in Florida and the persons that
handled them occupied much time of
the senate oil lease committee last
week. A code expert of the army sig
nal corps translated the messages that
were in cipher and Mrs. Duckstein, an
operative of the bureau of investiga
tion in the Department of Justice, ad
mitted sending the telegram warning
McLean that the committee was on
his trail. She said the code she used
was obsolete. William J. Burns, chief
>f the bureau, testified t~?t McLean
was a "dollar-a-year" operative and
that the message was sent to him In
the hope that he would resign that po
sition. More interesting was this tele
gram sent to McLean by Ira Bennett,
Ariltnrlal writer on the Washington
Post : "Saw principal. Delivered mes
sage. He says greatly appreciates
and sends regards to - you and Mrs.
McLean. There will be no rocking of
boat and no resignations. He expects
reaction from unwarranted pollticaf
attacks."
Senator Heflln of Alabama read this
to the senate and ventured the opin
ion that "principal" meant President
Coolidge. * He therefore asked that the
committee call on Mr. Bennett to ex
Ijlaiu just what the message meant
and who it was that he saw. Senator
Caraway also talked about that mes
sage and told the senate: "I'd like the
President to say whether or not he en
tered Into communication with Mc
Lean in Florida. One hundred million
people would like to know." Some of
his allusions to Mr. Coolidge were un
dignified and In wretched taste.
Caraway's question was answered
Thursday when two telegrams from
President Coolidge to McLean were
read to the committee. They sounded
Innocuous and Mr. Coolidge explained
In a statement that the first related
to the district commisslonership and
the second was In regard to a message
from McLean congratulating the Pres
ident on his statement concerning the
demand for Denby's resignation.

The President nominated Samuel
Knight of San Francisco as special
counsel to take charge of the govern
ment's suit to oust the Standard Oil
company from naval reserve No. 1 In
California. Senator Walsh told the
senate committee that he had learned
Mr. Knight had acted as attorney for
the Equitable Trust company of Cali
fornia, a Rockefeller institution, t and
indicated that for this reason he would
oppose hi* confirmation.
REPRESENTATIVE LONG
WORTH'S compromise tax bill
setting the maximum surtax rate at
37% per cent won in the house, the in
surgent Republicans falling into line.
But what the senate will do with the
measure is a question. President
Coolidge let it be known that he still
wants the Mellon bill passed and It is
believed the senate finance committee
might be persuaded to report it as a
substitute for the measure passed by
the house. But Senators Watson and
Moses have Informed the President
that the 25 per cent surtax would not
be approved on the floor of the senate
and that the figure probably would be
boosted to 37% per cent, or perhaps
as high as 40 per cent,
f ___
THERE appeared In the house last
week a strong sentiment in favor
of a soldiers' bonus bill providing for
a cash bonus or issuance of an endow
ment insurance policy, at the option
of the beneficiary. The ways and
means committee completed the hear
ings on bonus legislation, during which
charges were made that concerns with
which Secretary Mellon and Secretary
Weeks are connected have been /con
tributing funds to the anti-bonus cam
paign. Senator Caraway already had
written Secretary Mellon about that
story, and the latter replied that he
has never authorized or co-operated
with any person "in raising any fund
whatever that had for Its purpose any
propaganda" against the bonus meas
ure, nor 1iny other measure that has
been before congress during the time
that Mr. Mellon has occupied his pres
ent office.
SENATOR HIRAM JOHNSON is
sued a statement early in the week
to the effect that the Coolidge cam
paign managers knew they were
beaten in all direct primary states
where the voters have a free voice in
the selection of delegates and that,
consequently, they were resorting to
petty tricks to defeat the Johnson can
didacy. .. On Tuesday the Republicans
of Iowa met In convention, chose their'
29 delegates to the national conven
tion and instructed them for Coolidge.
On Wednesday the Republican county
conventions of Minnesota were held
and In a majority of them Coolidge
was indorsed for the nomination, mak
ing it virtually certain that the state's
delegation at Cleveland will be in
structed for him. The lack of opposi
tion to Coolidge from radical sources
In these two states, and the withdrawal
of LaFollette from .the primary con
tests in several Northwestern states,
were looked upon by some politicians
ns Indications of the ^probable forma
tion of a third party. LaFollette says
his I refusal to be a candidate for the
Republican nomination is due to his
feei/ng that his present duty lies in
the senate, and also to his certainty
thaHn the Cleveland convention "the
steam-roller will be operated by the
same forces that controlled it in 1912
and' other years."
Mr. ? McAdoo replied to Senator
Reed's attack on him with a letter in
which he fiercely denounced the senar
tor, setting forth the Mlssourlan'a
rather unenviable political recQrd and
assorting that Reed had resorted to
most glaring disregard for the
h" because McAdoo would not stay
pf the Missouri primary contest.

will be the first native-born Americans

Catholic church.
THE Filipino independence mWsion,
which has been active in Wash
ington for some time* was dealt a sad
blow last week by a letter from Presi
dent Coolldge to Manuel Roxas, head
of the group of natives. The Presi
dent covered every angle of the con
troversy and declared flatly that he
did not think the islanders were yet
ready for Independence. He based his
opinion on the danger to the Filipino
peopli; of economic or political disor
ders, perhaps even amounting to dis
aster, in event of withdrawal of Amer
ican mpport and protection; on the
Inabil ty of the Filipino people at
presei t to maintain the financial bur
den that would be Imposed by politi
cal Independence, and on the lack of
political capacity necessary to>the peo
ple ol a minor nation assuming the
full responsibility, of maintaining it
self 1e the family of nations.
The President asserted the com
plaints against General Wood were
unjustified and that the governor gen
eral w
as "a hard-working, painstaking
and conscientious administrator.'

Scientific Planning
for Healthy Growth
. ? * :
A committee of twenty-one meeting
at the City club in Chicago to draw uj
specifications for a metropolitan plan
ning commission forecasts a Chicago oi
8,000,000 population extending, rough
ly, from near the Indiana state line to
a point near the Wisconsin line. W t
believe that Is no wild dream. It is
a possibility, if not a probability.
But whether or not Chicago proper
ever extends its present boundaries,
there can be no doubt that definite^
scientific planning is essential to in
sure healthy and continuous growth.
The Chicago Plan commission hai
worked with admirable good sense and
efficiency. But problems of modern
city life which have arisen since it?
inception have greatly complicated its
task. ' The automobile traffic and the
tendency to concentrate both busi
nesses and residences in high buildings
convenient to a ceiitral district In*
pose a new duty upon city planners.
We are Inclined to be archaic in our
ideas. Athens and Rome and Con
stantinople weoe planned and built
upon one level. American cities, con
structed many centuries later, have
hardly advanced from that.
In Chicago, with -the limited excep
tion of elevated railroads, the Michi
gan avenue two-level street, and tun
nels beneath the river, we are still on
the one^evel basis of ancient Athens.
New York has gone a step further with
the subway, and eventually we will
have that. But even that will not be
enough. >
There can be no adequate planning
for a modern great city which does
not provide for more than one level
for traffic. Chicago knows it, but that
Is not enough. It must act upon the
knowledge. New York knows it, and
is acting. Steps are being taken there
to provide a third level of transporta
tion, for pedestrians, above the ground.
The entire city has been zoned, with
groups of architects in charge of the
various districts, to work out this plan.
The colossal plan of adding some 4,000 <
acres to the lower end of Manhattan
island Includes the construction of
three street levels ? one for heavy ve
hicular traffic, a second for passenger
automobiles, and a third for pedestri
ans. *
Chicago my st come to it. The com
mittee of twenty-one may properly
plan for a city fifty miles long and of
8,000,000 population, but it should not
neglect to plan first for a city of our
present area, btft three or more stories
high In so far as its streets are con
cerned. ' '
School for Sick Pupil ?
A special hospital school, . main
tained as part of the regular school
ftfstem of Minneapolis for children
who have tuberculosis, is described in
the 'January number of School Life,
published by the United States bureau
of education. Children excluded from
the regular schools on account of hav
ing this disease are required under the
compulsory education law to attend
this school if they are able to travel to
and from school every day by street
car. Regular work of the eight ele
mentary grades is offered, and pupils
may be transferred to this school or
back to a regular school without loss
of standing.
Glasses are held in open-air rooms,
which are kept at a temperature of
45 degrees. The children wear Eskimo
suits in the classroom. T^o light
meals and a full meal are served dur
ing the day, and after the full meal
the children have a sleeping period.
"Sun-lamp treatments" are given every
morning. Children requiring hospital
treatment for a short time are placed
in a ward and are attended by a phy
sician and a nurse* ? Chicago Newt.

For Civic Improvement
It Is the plan of the Federal Coun
cil of Citizenship Training to co-op
erate with the many non-governmental
agencies, public and private, which are
engaged in seeking to Improve citizen
ship throughout the country. It has
begun to work out the means of
such co-operation.
It Is estimated that there are about
2,000 national agencies which are ap
plying themselves today to the prob
lems of social and civic improvement"
There are other thousands of local
agencies engaged In the same kind
of work.
If. these agencies can be brought
to work together along only a few
lines, It Is felt that the Impetus given
to the movement for better citizenship
will be Increased L
The American National council, of
which President Harding was the hon
orary president and Prank A. Van
derllp the acting president, will co
operate in every way wfth the govern
mental agencies in tfce crusade now
launched.
Pet Name* Given Cities
"Utile old New York" is the pet
name of the commercial capital of the
United States. " It ffcr neither "little"
nor "old," but\ these words are used
In their affectionate sense. The pet
name of Boston In the United States
is "the Hub." This Is a little more
malicious, and Is usfed more by out
siders than by Bostonlans. It is gen
erally held that the latter regard their
Intellectual city at "the hub , of the
universe." the city around which all
other cities retolve.
