THE SAI.EMITE
CURRENT HISTORY
Tlic Senate of tlie United States
passed a resolution requesting
President C'oolidge to ask for the
resignation of Secretarj' of the
Navy Denhy. Tliis action is a re
sult of the recent oil scandal in
wliieli Mr. Denby was seriously in
volve:!. President Coolidge refused
a ,k for tlie resignation, main
taining that the executive part of
tile government is entirely in his
I'anJ and not to be interfered with
I’v the Senate or anyone else. He
declared that as soon as all the
tacts in the case were made known,
he would take action to protect the
public, but that the dismissal of a
^^’abinet officer is a serious affair. It
H also entirely in the realm of the
l^resident’s power and can not be
influenced in any way by the Senate
except by impeachment; therefore,
no official recognition can be given
to the resolution. President Coolidge
Seems to regard the matter as
closed.
Mr. Coolidge has selected Siles
H. Straven and Atlee Pomerene as
lawyers for the investigation of the
oil scandal, but there is much
l^emocratic opposition, led by Sena
tor Walsh of Montana, who has
done a large amount himself in the
conduction of an inquiry. The
nominations have been discussed at
two sessions of the committee, but
no decision has, as yet, been made.
Six witnesses were heard at public
sessions.
George Creel, once chairman of
the committee on public information,
stated that he had served Dohenj'
^s publicity consultant at a salary
of $10,000 a year, but that, owing
to unpleasant relations between him
and his employer, he had resigned
at the end of three months.
J. Leo Stach, a Denver oil man
and associate of Creel, declared his
Convictions of the fraud concerned
m the Teapot Dome lease. Four
other witnesses were examined, but
no valuable information was gath
ered.
McAdoo presented an elaborate
Written denial of the accusations
made against him, calling them
gross misrepresenations” and
hideous libels,” and that he had
liad no more to do with the oil
Scandal “than the planet Mars.”
He declares that if the party lead
ers in different states consider his
accusation as harmful to the party
■n.the coming election, he will glad
ly withdraw from the running and
Serve in a less prominent position.
He wishes it to be made clear, how
ever, that this act would be not one
of acknowledged guilt, but of in
nocence, and that he had absolutely
no participation in the oil scandal.

DR. SCHALLERT WRITES
ARTICLE FOR THE TORREYA
Dr. P. O. Schallert has recently
had printed in an issue of the
Forreya an article describing and
suggesting a name for a plant dis
covered by Mr. W. W. Ashe. Mr.
Ashe called Dr. Schallert’s atten-
ion to this unusual form of plant
ife and immediately aroused his in
terest, the result of which is the
article already mentioned. The
lower is a form of the robinia, but
it is entirely different from the
other species, and. Dr. Schallert
states, will probably prove to be of
horticultural value. In this article
Dr. Schallert proposes the name of
Robinia Ashe in honor of its dis
coverer, Mr. W. W. Ashe of Wash
ington, D. C.

CiLy College of New York has a

li 'ikcr:.'d board is concerned. These
are the most striking facts brought
out by the intercollegiate matches
which were played in Brooklyn re
cently to decide the chess champion
ship of the United States. Univer

I am the Perfect Jellyfish
Examine me w'ith a mi.->cro.->cope,
With the X-ray
With anything you like—
You will find no backbone.
Touch me with a finger.
I move,
I vacillate,
I have no will.
I stay where the waves
Wash me.
I have no energy.
If I had an idea
Some one would
Smash it at once.
There is nothing hard
About me—
Not even fingernails
To scratch with.
Look carefully,
You will find no back bone.
I am tlie Perfect Jellyfish.
I Ten Perdue students paid $219.(i0

REPORTS OF WORK SOON TO
BE SENT HOME
Salem students are now wonder
ing which is worse—the disease it-
elf or the consequences. Examina-
ions are over, to be sure, and peace
prevails for the immediate present,
but what of the future.^ Reports are
soon to be mailed home, and then
the final reckoning comes. For
probably the only time during the
scliool year the distance which lies
between Salem and home is a thing
for which to be grateful. Contrary
to the procedure of last year, re
ports are not sent to the girls, but
they are sent home. Most of the
grades have, however, been obtain-
3d by the girls from their faculty
idvisors, and as soon as the reports
have been inspected by the parents,
the first semester of 1923-24 will
become a closed chapter.
