Daugher- Senator Mcses, of New Hampshire, a member of the committee, said today he could call a meeting if he thought it would do any good, but he had no no tion of doing so. He added that if Sen ator Ashurst or Senator Wheeled should ask a hearing, as either has a right to do under J 0! resolution providing for the a Republican member would be on hand to see just what took place. Mr. Modes is going to Republican head quarters in Chicago within a few days, unless Senator Ashurst invited the com mittee to asseiV>le here. I Senator Moses declared it was not necessary for Chairman Brookhart to au thorize Senator Ashurst to call the com mitte, for the Senate provided that any member could do so. This statement was made at the White House today after Moses had called on the President to report prog- . ress in the senatorial campaign. It is i evident that friends of the president are 1 annoyed over the action of former Attor- i ney General Daugherty in opening up < the Gaston B. Means testimony. They I would rather that would not be injected I into the campaign. ] Senators Harrison, Swanson, Simmons i and Dial and other Democrats believe I the recent outbreak from the former At- t torney General should he investigated; • that the charge that witnesses before the 1 committee perjured themselves should 1 have prompt attention.

Officials i of the Democratic national committee 1 tried to get in touch with him but failed, < and were told he would be here tomor row. v 1 Mr. Ashurst will be urged to call the committee. Democratic leaders believe that the country would like to know the 1 facts about the Means repudiation state ment and to hear from Mr. Daugherty on the stand. The members of the Brookhart com mittee are: Chairman, Brookhart, Ohio; ; Oenators Moses, New Hampshire, and ; Jones, Washington, Republicans, and , *oha, Democrats. '' - Means telephoned friends here today from North Carolina and reiterated his ' readiness to tell the committee the whole story of his repudiation announcement. t He will not talk until summoned before ( the committee. The movement to compel Means to re- , turn and pay hie income taxes due for 1921, 1922 and 1923 was started in New York soon after he testified in 1 court there last summer that lie had a '■ large income. This attracted attention ’ of special agents of the Bureau of In- 1 ternal Revenue who run down persons > who have failed to make returns. 1 Two agents took up the records in 1 New York and .Baltimore and found j Means had not made proper returns. - Then North Carolina agents were called ’ upon to go over the returns there. Investigation revealed that he had i made no returns. When asked about i the matter be said he thought his income had been reported. i The agents gave Means‘time and op- ; portuuity to comply with the law but i when he failed proceedings were com, , menced yesterday by Collector Tait of ( the Baltimore aud Washington district. ] Treasury officials denied today that i Means was being persecuted because he had made certain statements.

Davidson, Sept * 26. —The Davidson student body passed the 600 mark this year, the total dumber of students be ing 617. Os this number the freshman class draws 261 students, 175 go to the sophomore class, there are 88 juniors, and 83 in the graduating class. It is significant that the present junior class lias only a few more members than the 1924 graduating class, but the number of juniors would be augmented were those who are behind in one subject reg ietered as juniors. As it is they are at present termed sophomores. North Carolina leads in the number of students, sending 364 of her sons to Davidson. The number from South Carolina has been gradually diminishing each year until only 57 enrolled for this session. The ‘Sa. dlipper state is dose ly followed by Geoigia with*ss students. Other students are apportioned as fol lows : Alabama, 26; Tennessee, 26; Vir ginia, 17 ; Florida, 16; Mississippi, 13; West Virginia, 12'; Kentucky, 7; Louis iana, 6; Texas, 4; Arkansas. 2; other states, 6, and six are registered frop foreign countries. Four of tW are the sons of missionaries, while one is a Persian and the other is a Filippino. Statistics have beep prepared to show what vocation the students will enter. Ninety-two are studying for the minis try ; business claims 91, and those who will enter the medical profession are close behind with 78. The other clas sifications are: law 39, teaching 81, en gineering' 26; chemists 10, journalism 10, farming 5, dentistry 4, and there , are 229 who are undecided. % i An unusual fact for any instiution is that every member of the three upper classes of Davidson is affiliated with seme denomination, and there are only three of the 261 freshmea who entered ' Davidso'n that are not members of any church. The number of Presbyterians predominate, but members of ten other denominations are represented on the campus at Davidson.
