WASHINGTON. April 10. While
a rrw senate committee was organ
izing to investigate the indictment in
Montana of senator Wheeler prose
cutor of the Daugherty Investigation
the laugberty committee Itselt took
a fleeting glimpse of some of toe evi
dence the new inquiry may be ex
pected to produce.
W. J. Burns of the justice depart
mcnt was placed on the stand and
questioned about the activities of de-
Sartment agenta he said he sent into
lontana on the Wheeler case and
Arthur Lambdin a telephone official.
told of a long distance conversation
yesterday between Ueorge If. Lock
wood of the republican national com'
mittee and a national committee em
ploye in Great Falls.- where the in-
dictment wis returned.
Leaving the subject as abruptly as
it had taken it up th investigators
then switched back to the Old Hick
ory powder case in Tennessee and
the famous deal for distribution of
the Dempsey-Carfentier fight films.
Previously it had heard from Ueorge
L. Miller central figur? in the Miller
brothers land fraud case in Uklnboma
in a denial of much of the testimony
that had been given against him.
Borah Heads Now Proaa.
While the bearing was in progress
President Cummins of the enate an-
nounced appointment of Senator
Borah republican Idaho as head of
the new Wheeler investigating com-
mittee. The other nieinberr. are Sen-
ators Sterling. South Dakoti. and
McLean. Connecticut republicans.
and Swansea Virginia and Canway
Arkansas democrats. This commit
tee probably will gut into . action
within a few days.
A. V. Lane. United States attor-
ney in Tennessee was questioned by
the' Dangherty investigators at
length about the contract by which
the Okl Hickory powder plant in tnat
State waa turned over to the Dupoat
interests. He said he repeatedly had
urged prosecution and had advised
that those most to blame were the
originul makers of the contract.
Two Chicago attorneys. A. J.
Bates and Charles Winefeld testi-
fied ibout the arrangement for show-
ing the prize fight films in Illinois
and other States. In a large degree
their testimony corroborated that of
other witnesses as to details of tha
project.
Tomorrow the comm;ttee will hold
hearing! simultaneously in the capital
and at Washington Court House
Ohio. Chairman Brookhart and Sen-
ator Wheeler will make another at-
tempt to get at the records of the
Midland National bank in the Ohio
city and at the same time Senator
Moses republican. New Hampshire
as acting chairman will meet here
with the remaining committee mem
ber! to question J. J. McGraw for
mer republican national committee
man for Oklahoma about the Miller
brothera rase.
Waat Baak Book.
The committee hai been seeking for
several weeks to get access to the
books of the Midland bank of wnicn
M. S. Dangherty. a brother of former
Attorney General Daugnerty is presi
dent. At first the records were sub
poenaed but the bank replied it would
be impossible to send tbem to nasb
ington. Then a special examiner was
sent to Washington Court House A
controversy arose as to the scope of
his inquiries into the business of the
bank with the result that his iDvestl
ration has been suspended.
A subpoena also was issued tor M.
S. Daugberty. but he has failed to ap
pear here and contempt proceeding
against him hare been considered. The
committee prosecutor believes the
bank books contain evidence confirma-
tory of certain testimony given in
regard to the financial operations of
Harry Al. Ltougherty Jess Smith and
others.
The meeting of the committee thi-
morning behind dosed doors is said
to have developed some -heated pass
ages among members as to the best
method of procedure. Senator Moses'
withdrawal from the sub-committee
followed an argument in which some
of the mayor differences of opinion
that have been developing in the com
mittee came openly to the aurfice for
the first time.
After he bad "waived absolutely
any immunity be might have claimed
s a defendant in tne cases Sillier be
gan reading a long prepared state
ment. but both Senators Wheeler and
Moses objected to any "long winded
explanation.

"Ton jileid guilty to the rhirge of

ng that tnere would be a fine. an:
.Miller.
Miller denied that his "understand
ing was with tne attorney general r
nice and said tbat wben be em
played John Todd as bis lswver. he did
not know that Todd wis a former law-
partner of Hnrrv M. Dlugherty. Hr
ssid John McCaskey of Pittsburg.
dvised him to hire Todd and "ar
rented" matters with Todd pnving the
letter 2000 which Miller later reuald
to McCaskey. McCaskey told him
e said tbat Todd could get certain
reports in the land easei before the
uthorities.
Hammering the witness with omcs
ions. Senator TV heeler asked if he
hsd not been willing to "pay any
price to get the papers to the at-
enfion of Daugherty.
I was willing to pay any price for
square deal. Miller shouted.
He also denied that he hid ever
paid J. J. McGraw any money for the
epubhean national committee.
"I am a democrat he said.
"Tes. we know the kind of i demo-
ent you are" replied Senator Wheel-
r.
Fins Wit Hury.
McCaskey had told him Todd could
get the "Cox and Kankin" report in
he land cases before the attornev
general and Todd was employed for
that reason. Miller said. Going into
the transaction in detail he told the
committee he had paid Indians "t
consideration of $00233." for 3021
acres of Isnd. He declared he hid ex-
pected a $500 fine when he agreed to
plead guilty on advice of his attorneys
our li was tiow. '
The witness was allowed to ro
ahead with a part of his prepared
stitement in which he declared tjat
testimony given before the committee
charging frand by him against the In
dians in acquiring land was "ma
licious misleading and untrue." He
bad read only a few lines wben Sen-
ator Wheeler broke in to question
im. Todd bid wnttess bun thit he
could not further represent him Mil-
ler slid but tne letter could not be
found.
My files ire continually being
robbed." he laid..
"Isn't it a fact you made the stite
ment to people in Oklihoma thit yon
red Todd to influence Daugherty 7
Senator Wheeler asked.
I don't remember making any such
tstemenf. aid I don't believe I did."
said Miller.
Senator Wheeler asked the witness
to produce "every letter that passed
between you and Todd" but Miller
would only agree to do that after be
had loose 'em over.
Miller said ha felt that the "in
tluence working against" him ia
Washington was Senator HarreM.
"And you wanted somebody to off
set that influence and McCaskey aaid
Todd had that influence?" aaid
Wheeler.
"I can not aay he told me that."
It developed that "Cox and Ran'
kin" were two Indian agents who re
ported on Miller's land deals. His
regular ittorneya "bad not been able
to get the Cox and Rankin report"
before Mr. Daugherty. He agreed
mat ne Bad tow McCaaker he "want
ed somebody with influence with the
attorney general ' to see that he got
a "square deal."
U. S. Attoraey's Caemy.
The witness declared that if the
government dldn t press civil suits in
the land cases he would bring suit
himself "to quiet title."
"Didn't you have McGraw telephone
to Senator HarreM. asking if it wasn't
sll right with him that vou plead guilty
and only pay a fine of $10000 ?" asked
Wheeler.
"Whatever McGraw did. he did on
his own account" Miller responded.
Former United States Attorney H.
M. Peck who prosecuted the case
against him. Miller said "is my bit-
terest enemy." and used evidence that
was "not right." He had sought to
"get in touch with Peck" thcough
Scott Ferris a former representative
in Oklahoma. Miller said adding "It
was the worst mistake I ever made."
Miller said he was "absolutely sure"
Ferris was "going to be senator."
Asked about his subsequent employ-
ment of former Senator Gore of Okla-
homa the witness said:
"I employed them alL"
Perk and Gore were close friends
he said and he retained Gore after
he knew Peck would be the prosecutor
in the Miller cases.
The witness charged that Peck had
suppressed the Cox and Rankin re-
port which showed there was no
ground for an indictment.
Tslephoss Message.
Without explaining the purpose the
investigating committee heard testi-
mony about a telephone call by
George B. Lock w ood secretary of the
republican nationt 1 committee to
Great Falls Mont. where a federal
grand jury recently returned an in-
dictment' against Senator Wheeler the
committee prosecutor.
Arthur Lambdin. an official of the
telephone company here wis put on
the stand and after a formal protest
waa allowed to testify that Lockwood
called Blair Cohen at the Rainbow
hotel in Great Falls and talked with i
him for two and a half minutes.
The committee then pnt on the stand
W. J. Burns head of the secret agents
of the department of justice and quea
tloned him about the work of the de
nartment in investigating the Montana
charges against Senator Wheeler.
Burns testified thit three of bis
men had worked in Montana on the
Wheeler case.
"Who ordered you to send those
men out? Wheeler asked.
"Nobody. I sent them out" said
Burns.
Burns also said he had reported to
Daugherty that "you (Senator Wheel
er) were attorney for the Gordon
Campbell concern. ' The conversation
took place at Daugherty'a apartment
Burns said but added "be would hare
ti look it up" to see whether it wss
before or liter Dlugherty left office
ss attorney general.
The investigation of the Gordon-
Campbell company was started by
"Mr. Cunningham" of the post office
department the witness said adding
that Cunningham was now on his way
to Washington from Great Falls.
Blair Cohen. Burns said was not
employed by the department of jus-
tice but worked for the republican
national committee.
The witness said "he didn't know''
that Lockwood and Daugherty were
"close friends" but had seen the two
together in Daugherty's apartment.
Burns was talking with Dauglierty
"about this hearing here" he said
when the Campbell matter came up.
"He wanted to get something on
Wheeler?' Chairman Brookhart sug
gested.
"He didn t say so Burns replied.
'"Then you immediately sent three
men there Chairman Brookhart
went on.
'Oh. no. We sent the first man
out there three or four weeki ago
wben the post office department asked
for it."
'As soon as this investigation rot
under way' Senator Wheeler put in.
xou and Nr. Daugherty have dis
cussed this investigation s great deal
and he's sought your help''' Senator
Wheeler asked.
We ve talked of it I wouldn't mv
helpe." Burns concluded.
Dsseat Cats Delayed.
A. V. McLane. United Stitei at
torney at Nashville Tenn. followed
Burna to take up the Old Hickory
powder plant case. He told of bis
efforts in 1022 to Start in investiga
tion of tbe case. It was tne opinion
of government experts tbat a recov
ery of "from $5000000 to $13000.
000" should be made be said from
the Dupont compiny which hid the
Old Hickory contract.
There his never been any investi
gation of the Old Hickory case up to
this time McLane declared. -
McLane corroborated the state
menta of George Storck department
of justice accountant who made a
survey of tha case tbat Dupont law
yers were furnished by tbe war re
corery board with a questionnaire'
on tbe ease for "explanation."
He said Storck told him at tbe
time that his owa original survey re
port was among papers in the Dupont
lawyers hsnds.
lhe witness alto produced letters
exchanged with special Assistant At-
torney General B. H. Williams.
which be said show an "unfriendly'
attitude on Williams' part toward
prosecution of the ease-
A letter to McLane from Williams
in March 1924 aaid that "most of
the rumors of fraud" had grown out
of "misunderstanding" of tbe govern-
ment's contract with the Dupont s.
The attitude of Major General C. C.
n llliams chief of ordnance in tbe
war department McLane declared.
"was entirely hostile to any investigation."
McLane said in March. 1023. he
found that the Dupont Engineering
company renreseMatives were to at
tend government conferences and he
asked that his witnesses be senajgsck
to Nashville.
Major General Williams chief of
ordnance was rather insulting to tbe
department of lostice people. ' Mc-
Tane said "and to anybody who ap
peared to have the purpose of show
ing wrong doing against the Dupont
people.
lou ire still I nited States attor-
ney at Nashville and not yet ladict-
that" McLane said but added tbat
be "could road between tbt line."
Report Waa Pabltshod.
McLane said he bad 'beard "unoffi-
cially" that tha department of justice
sought to find out bow tha Storck
report came to be given to the Dupont
lawyers. Assistant Attorney General
Holland was "very much disturbed"
both because the Dupont lawyers bait
tbe report and because It was printed
in substance in the Nashville -Banner
resulting ia a libel suit against tbat
paper by the Dupcnts.
McLane urged tha committee to
"look into the making of this eon-
tract." It granted powers not con-
tained in any other war contract he
said and the making of it was most
to be criticised. He urged the com-
mittee to see who made it and what
tbe "object and motives" In making
it were.
The statute of limitations he said.
would prevent criminal prosecutions'
in tne Old Hickory case after next
November. He had pressed for prose-
cutions "on that idea" he said.
"If I was to make a recommenda-
tion in this whole matter" McLane
went on "it would be against the
men who msde tbe original contract
with the Dupont. The contract in-
dicates fraud to my mind."

being the extension of tuthority for
