Effort of Department of Justice to Convict Senator Wheeler for Accepting Fees for Service* Before Government Departments Gets Stone in Jumble By DAVID LAWHKNCK (fuiiyricbt lv!3 by Thi A4>im) _ ^ Washington, Jan. 29. ? The queerest muddle since-Presi dent Roosevelt began using Government sleuths to investi gate United States Senators has developed in connection with the effort of the Department of Justice to convict Senator Wheeler of Montana for alleged violation of a law which forbids a member of Congress from accepting fees for ser vices as a lawyer before Government departments. It's a queer muddle because /all the facts, have not yet been k put on the table and because Xlie fire of political vengeance burns brightly over the whole controversy. Here is the se quence of events: Senator Wheeler. Democrat, leads the Investigation of Attor ney General Daugherty, Republi can, whose r- algnatlon la demand ed by President Coolldge In the midst of his own campaign for the Presidential nomination. Second, the machinery of the Department of Justice, which was nominated by Mr. Daugherty. Is used to bring a case in Montana against Senator Wheeler. Denial is made that this Is a reprisal but Mr. Wheeler's friends Inslnt It could not be otherwise. Investi gators connected with the Repub lican political organisation out side the Government assist in building up the case against Mr. Wheeler. Third, the Senate takes up the charges and by overwhelming vote exonerates Senator Wheeler. Mr. Borah of Idaho, a .capable lawyer, sifts the charges and the Senate agrees with him that they are not serious. Fourth. Harlan F. Stone Is named Attorney General. Ho con sults with his subordinates who were appointed by Mr. Daugherty and who are naturally friendly to Mr. Stone's predecessor and re ' celves the Impression that not withstanding the action of the v Senate the case should be pur sued. He goes Into the case and announces he will continue Its prosecution. Fifth. Senator Wheeler be comes the Vice Presidential can didate on a radical ticket. Con servatives become eager to see a blow struck at the radical*. While the case Is allowed to drag n ur lng the campaign. It Is revived af ter election. Sixth. Attorney General Stone Is named for the Supreme Court vacancy caused by the resignation of Justice McKenna and rumors begin to spread that he hnB gone even n step further toward pros ecuting Mr. Wheeler by bringing a request for Indictment In the District of Columbia as well as Montana. # Seventh, the Department of Justice, according to Mr. Stone, ?e<Is that the air In Montana Is full of charges and counter charges. Mr. Wheeler's friends and counsel think the District of Columbia la dominated by the Republican administration and Uie Government and that It would be unfair to try a case here which should be tried In Montana. Eighth. Attorney General Stone Insists that It isn't the aaine case but refuses td divulge ixnctly whore the difference Is. giving as his reason that he doesn t want U> diaclose evidence before trial. Virtually the same witnesses and transactions sre Involved, but Mr. Stone contends now that the acts ^took place In Washington. Hp ad w niltn it could he tried In Montana [ but prefers Washington. \ Ninth, the nomination of Mr. Stone Is held up by the Senate pendlnx further Information on the whole case. The administra tion's friends are conducting a campaign In defense of Mr. Stone's position aaylng he had to pursue the caae when he wan con vinced that Irregularities had oc curred. Tenth. frlonda or Senator Wheeler say he has nothing to fear but that ha U being made the victim of political persecution snd that all sorts of technicalities can b a trumped up If the Government wants to do so. So everybody Is right and no body is wrong. Mr. Stone can t stop now lest ne be accused of try ing to cost th* 8enate into con firming hlM i for the Supreme Court. Mr. Wneeler doesn't wsnt to be placed on trial In two places at the same time on virtually the aame ground and with the pres tige of the Government affecting proceedings Instituted here. The radicals In the Senate In the Republican group and the Democrats constitute a majority and l( they become convinced tha? the whole thing la the aoQtiel of a political plot they may hold up the nomination of Mr. Stone, even though they think he was dragged Into the maelstrom Innocently ana did his duty aa he saw it. And thus the situation may con ' tlnue till March 4th. when a new Senate cornea Into power and . where a majority can be aaaem s bled to confirm Mr. Stone's nom ination. Confirmation under such circumstances would become pure : i ? ? ? ?' ? ? - DOGS CARRYING RELIEF TO NOME (Cy The Araoclatcd P.?m> Seattle, Wash.. Jan. 30. ?

To aay that sentiment on the Council wai unfavorable to the suggestion ol the utilities would be putting It mildly. The corporations also suggested that the City take over the exist ing insurance policies on their property ; and this nifHlloil was also unfavorably received by the Council, members of which felt that this business should be equal ly divided among local concerns instead of being placed so largely with ono concern as at present.
