Statement Made Chairman
Brookhart Mad and He
Denounced Former Offi
cer of "Government.
(By the Associated Press)
Washington. .Tune 4.—Former Attor
ney General Daugherty today notified
the Senate committee which has had his
official conduct under investigation for
nearly four months that he would neith
er testify as a witness, nor be represent
ed further by counsel in its proceedings.
The, committee had asked the former
Attorney General to take the witness
stand on Friday as the last witness be
fore a preliminary report is submittede
to the Senate. No formal subpoena had
been issued for him. however, and com
mittee members have indicated that they
would take no step to compel his ap
pearance.
Paul Howland, attorney for Mr.
Daugherty, read the committee a state
ment by his client, declaring that "cer
tain members of the committee” had
made a desperate attempt to "blacken"
liir reputation, and denying that he had
"profited in any illegal, corrupt or un
ethical'way” from his tenure of office.
Mr. Daugherty’s statement also de
clared that tlie Federal court in Ohio
,in the litigation between the committee
and* M. S. Daugherty, had held the com
mittee to be engnged in "an illegal pro
ceeding.” He therefore gave notice that
his lawyers would withdraw.
Chairman Brookhart declared the
statement was a reflection on the com
mittee. and said that he intended to re
ply before letting matters go further.
“We have proved the existence of a
commercial conspiracy in Mr. Daugher
ty’s household,” Senator Brookhart said.
"We have proved that tlm tax returns of
Mr. Daugherty wkep he office slioy-1
hat he had no money. «nd‘ that be-
The chairman added that under the
eironrastnnees he wotild nks the commit*
tee to proceed with its plan of making if
partial report, and then adjourn for
some time. It is a part of the plan to
resume sessions, however, tat some date
late in the summer.
Chairman Hrookhart also referred to
the indictment of Senator Wheeler, the
committee prosecutor, as h frameup, and
said Mr. Daugherty had sought to attack
others instead of defending himself.
Senator Moses, republican of New
Hampshire, said he wonted to express
“some dissent” from The chairman, and
Mr. Howland with Geo. E. Chamberlain,
his associate, then left the committee
room.
Senator Wheeler Give* His Reason.
St; Louis, Mo., Former Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty “did not care to lay
hi mail f open to the rigorous examina
tion that would have awaited hint,”
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, of Montana,
asserted here today in commenting on
Mr. Daugherty’s refusal to appear be
fore the Senate investigating commit
tee of which Mr. Wheeler is a member.

Paris, June 4 (By the Associated

known to his friends today that he was
determined to remain in office under any
circumstances unless there should be a
majority vote in both the Senate and
chamber asking him to retire. Further
more this vote must be in open session,
with the vote of enech senator and depu

A resolution was adopted yesterday by
122 senators of the democratic left, de
claring that President Millernml must
resign.
Millernnd’s friends declare he would
ask nothing better than to go at once,
but feels that he would betray all the
duties of office in violation of the consti
tution if he abandoned the post to
which he received a mandate for seven
years.
The adversaries of the President are
credited with the intention of forcing
events, however.
Paul. Painleve .today was elected
president of the chamber. President
Milierand soon afterward summoned
Painleave to the Elysee Palace for a
consultation in regard to the formation
of a new cabinet.

KILLS SELF 36 HOURS
AFTER DEATH OF WIFE
John Wilson, Aged 40, Jumps Into
Well at His Home Near Siler City.
Siler City, June 3.—John Wilson, 40,
jumped in a well at his home near
Siler City and killed himself at 8 o’clock
this morning, about 36 hours after the
death of his wife.
Mr. Wilson, who was well known in
the countjr, had been despondent for
the past several days after it had been
learned that his wife would bp unable
to recover. He told relatives that, he
intended to kill himself.
For this reason he was closely guard-
But this morning lie asked a rela
tive, who was staying at the Wilson
home, to assist oue of his children in
the morning milking, sent his son to
a nearby Held to bring to the born some
gears which had been left in the field,
sent his daughter to the kitchen to wash
the dishes and ordered a younger child,
the only one left in the house, to go
to the baru and get a hammer.
As .soon as he was alone, Mr. Wilson
left the house and went to the well.
One of the youngest of his uine children
is reported to have seen him jump in.
.T. D. Jones and Irving Henden, passing
by the, hopse, were first to find his body,
which had been badly mangled by hitting
the rough stones with which the well
was walled. The well is about 40 feet
deep and it is thought-that Mr. Wilson
was unconscious before he hit the water.
He was dead when ropes were lowered
and his body recovered.

Dr. Grayson Draws an Intimate
- Picture of the Late Woodrow Wilson
(By the Associated Press.)
Richmond, Va., 3.—Rear Admiral
Car.v T. Grayson, Woodrow Wilson’s
private physician and confidant for the
last eleven years of his life, drew an
intimate picture of the former president
tonight at the commencement exercises
here of the Medical College of Virginia.
Admiral Grayson’s theme in his ad
address to the graduates was preventa
tive medicine and as an example of how
a physician may practice the axiom
that “a stitch in time saves nine" he
described how former President Wilson,
a frail man when he entered the White
House, was rtmde physically able to car
ry on the burdens of war that fall upon
the President.
“I cannot think of a better or more
practicable illustration of how a person
under medical advice can regulate his
daily life eo as to permit him to give
full scope to all the powers conferred
on him by nature than that furnished
by the man with whom I bad the privi
lege of being in intimate relationabip for
eleven years,” said Dr. Grayson.
“During the eight years that Wood
row Wilson occupied the White House
he worked as few Presidents have work
ed and bore burdens such as few men
are called upon to shoulder. The re

feet long. 64 feet high above common
water, comprises seven huge spans or

with stout concrete railing in the sides.
The huge structure stretcher alongside
the double track bridges of tlie Southern

The cost of the bridge was $200,000 and

Moore county. The bridge contains 9,-

“Four features of his life and person

When President Wilson took his seat
at the peace conference, he was 62 years
old. His whole previous life had
been moderate and carefully regulated.
Had he considered his health, had he
put prudence and caution first, he would
never have embarked for Europe on De
cember 4, 1918. Then and there he
deliberately neglected his health. Then
and there he deliberately refused to obey
his physician and the laws of health

CHILD LABOR ACT MAY
NEVER BECOME A LAW
Senator Ovirman Thinks Thirteen
States Can Be Found to Aet Against
It.
Washington, June 3. —Senator
man. who spoke and voted im*"
child labor amendment, was \
day about the prospect of the \ -
tenting the amendment when it_—« J"Sub
mitted to them. He said he would feel
absolutely certain that as many as 13
states could be got to reject the amend
ment if it could be submitted directly
to the people through constitutional con
ventions, for by that method the people
would come to understand the nature of
the amendment. la that way it would
be the only question under discussion
and the members of the convention would
meet, knowing what the people wnated.
However, the amendment will not go
to oonsitutic/nal " conventions but to
state legislatures whose members will
be elected without regard to whether
they are for or against the. amendment,
said the senator. The fast is. he con
tinued. the amendment will not figure
at all in the campaign and the propon
ents of it do not intend that it shall.
They want the people to forget that
Congress ever passed it.
But when the legislatures meet, he
pointed out, the great propaganda mill
that has been grindiug here in Wash
ington for tlie last two years, well
financed by certain male and female
sentimentalists on the one hand and
shrewd New England cotton mill men
cn the other, will set to work at every
rapital in the union. It is not likely
that these legislatures can resist what ;
Congress has proven unable to resist,
hod sent a man here from North Caro- 1
lina. W. H. Swift, to lobby for this j
mandment. and was paying him a salary <
nearly equal to that of a congressman I
while the opponents of the measure, so | i
far as the senator himself knew, had . 1
spent no money to prevent its passage.
Representative Weaver, who made a
speech in the House supporting the child
labor amendment, and who was one of
the principal movers in putting the
North Carolina child labor law on the
statute books while he was in the legis
lature. says the texrile men of the state
fought him at every turn m that cam
paign. When they saw they would
lose the battle they offered compromise
after compromise.
But Mr. Weaver frankly admitted the
amendment passed by Congress should
have been changed. He said there were
certain kinds of farm work where the
employment of children should be pro
hibited. such as that in the sugar beet
fields in the west where children are re
quired to work in a stooped position cal
culated to injure seriously their health.
Mr. Weaver does not think that any
member of Congress would ever be
"fool enough" to propose taking the ne
yMcokikire*- out wf-tYi
t hesouth, as some opponents of the
amendment have pointed out as one of
its dangers. Senator Overman does not
agree with Mr. Weaver. He says if the
amendment is ratified by three-fourths
cf the states the way will be open for
the wildest sort of legislation. The
North Carolina child labor law will be
a dead letter file moment the amend
ment is ratified, the senator said.

SECOND PRIMARY LOOMS
TO FILL MINQR OFFICES
Contest for Commissioner of Labor ami
Printing May Make Run-Over Neces
sary.
Brock Barkley in Charlotte Observer.
Raleigh, .1 nne 2.—Only one contest
shnao wighsi-oi flawing-* aaonad
wide primary and that it the race for
Commissioner of laibor and Minting.
Agreement of the three candidates for
Lieutenant Governor to give the nomi
nation to the high man in the first pri
mary eliminates the only other contest
that might have developed a second
race.
Four years ago a second primary was
necessary to settle the fight for gover
nor, state auditor and supreme court
justice. This year there are more than
two candidates only for lieutenant gov
ernor, commissioner of agriculture and
commissioner of labor and printing.
The agreement reached by Bowie,
Long and Reynolds means the termina
tion of that contest along with the gov
ernorship race next Saturday. It seems
improbable that T. B. Parker, the third
of the trio of candidates for commis
sioner of agriculture, will get sufficient
votes to kill the chances of Graham or
I-atliain getting a majority. Graham
seems to have the lead. Four candi
dates for commissioner of labor and
printing are mighty apt. however, to
prevent a majority vote in the first pri
mary in that contest.
Grist, of Caldwell county, is making
a strong race against Commissioner
Shipman, and Peterson, of Sampson,
will also poll a heavy vote. There iR
considerable opposition to Shipman and
he is not expected to establish a heavy
lead in the first primary. Grist and
Peterson don’t believe he will have even
a lead. The fourth candidate, Nash,
of Wayne, apparently is not making
much Wadway. Unless the candidates
for commissioner of labor and printing
reach an agreement, the chances are
i thnt a state-wide primary will be neces
i sary for the sole purpose of designating
a nominee for a minor Rtate office. Ship- ■
( man would probably agree to one pri
mary, being already in office, which is
: considerable advantage. Grist and Pet
-1 erson, each of whom believes he could
> beat Shipman if the other was opt of
i the way. would doubtless want the sec
. ond chance.
