They Cannot Be Given to
Committee.—Fall Did Not
U§e Private Wires.
(By the Associated Pr-m.)
Washington, March, I.—John Spurgeon,i
managing editor of the Washington l’ost, 1
was tic first of the employees of K. It.!
McLean called for questioning today ,
about the private wire the publisher had
installed between his offiee here and Palm
Beach,
Spurgeon could throw little light on
the matter, telling the committee he had
nothing to do with the installation of the
wire, and had no information on the sub
ject.
Spurgeon had wired Mr. McLean men
th ning a SIOO,OOO loan to A. B. Fall and
in response to ipiestions asked Mr. Mc-
Lean told him about the loan aud told
him to print it like any other news if it
came out. . ‘
John F. Major, author of most of the
now famous McLean telegrams, next was
qucstMhcd. lie said Mr. .McLean's pri
vate wire was installed in the Post's tel
egraph room along with the other wires,
including a New York and a Cincinnati
wire.
Copies of the messages sent on Mc-
Lean's private wire between Washington
and Palm Beach had been destroyed. Maj
or said. He said they were destroyed
each night. He described them as pri
vate messages concerning McLean's news
paper and other business.
The purpose rtf the wire, the witness
said "was to keep McLean in daily
touch with events in this countfy and
Europe."
Asked why the leased wire was install
ed at that particular time. Major said
it was the cheaper method of communica
tion because of the volume of traffic.
"To the best of my recollection. No,”
Major said when asked if A. B. Fall ever
sent or received messages over the pri-1
vote wire. His recollection refreshed
by Chairman Lenroot, Major said he had
shown the chairman a telegram Jrdm

Burns Will Be Questioned.
Washington, March I.—William J.
Burns, chief of the Department of Jus- j
tice investigation bureau, will be sum
moned by the oil committee so explain I
whether code messages sent to E. B. (
McLean's employes in Florida were in i
a cipher used by the department's secret j
agents.
He also will be asked whether Mr.
McLean himself is not carried on the
books of the department as a secret
agent at a nominal salary.
Mary Duekstein, who once was sec
retary" to Mr. Burns, and who now i» t
on the department's roll of secret
agents, also will be called by the commit
tee. and asked whether she signed the
code message sent to Florida over the
signature of Mary.
One of the code messages so signed
and placed before the oil committee was
addressed to W. O. Duekstein. one of
McLean's confidential men. He is the
husband of Mary Duekstein.
Mr. Burns said today he understood
tile (lode employed'Mn this message was
used at one time by the Department of
Justice agents.
He desied, however, that he ever had
had any communication with SleLean
in Florida and said he did not know
the basis on which the message from
Sfary Duekstein to W. O. Duekstein as
it lias been deciphered, mentions Burns
as interesting himself in McLean’s af
fairs.
This message was sent on February
2nd. and was endorsed in red “charge
Post for WOD” with {he initials ADM
affixed. Arthur 1). Mirks is business
manager of the Post. Committee mem
bers would not discuss this situation to
day beyond saying that Mr. Burns and
Sirs. Duekstein would be questioned.
A New Trail Discovered.
Washington, March I.—A new trail
that appeared to lead directly into the
Department of Justice was uncovered to
day upon further inquiry by the oil com
mittee into the famous McLean tele
grams.
It turned out that one of the messages
was sent in dne of the old Department of
Justice codes by Mary Duekstein, for
merly Secretary to W T m. J. Burns, chief
of the Department's bureau of investi
gation. 1
Mrs. Duekstein still is listed among
the department agents, and the message
sent, when deciphered, appeared to say
that Burns was concerning himself about
the McLean investigation. The massage
was adressed to W, O. Duekstein, Mary's

been asserted that official infroination
was sued for purposes of speculation.
