Capital Sees Daugherty's Finish Regardless of Outcome of Trial! c Mark Sullivan Declares Even Victory for Attorney General If ill Not Overcome Loch of Public Confidence—Senator Walsh Held as Ideal Questioner for Committee. By MARK SI LLIVAN. ■Washington, March 5.—Xn this Daugherty investigation much is go ing to depend on whether Senator Brookhart of Iowa and Senator Wheel er of Montana happen to have the parlietilar kind of ability and tem perament adapted to get the best I results from a tribunal of this kind. Senator Brookhart is chairman of the committee and Senator Wheeler is to fill the role of chief questioner. It is no exaggeration to say that the principal cause of the good results se cured in the oil investigation has been the unusual combination of qualities possessed by Senator Walsh of Mon tana, who has the position of chief questioner for that committee. Walsh has a mind, long 1 rained by legal con tests with able adversaries, plus tem peramental straits of dogged persist ence accompanied by restraint of ex pression and manner. The Daugherty committee has given Daugherty the right to be represented by counsel, and has allowed Daugh erty's lawyers to have the privilege of "limited cross examination.’’ This privilege is a departure from the prac tlco of the oil committee. There is no universal senate rule about al lowing counsel to appear for per sons accused or for witnesses. Some times it is done and sometimes not. In some past cases where senate commit tees have givpn the privilege of coun sel. it has turned out that these out side lawyers engaged by the person being investigated, or by some of the interests involved, have beeji able to shift the whole color of the proceed ings, and make the issue seem very different from what it started out to be. Wheeler Lacks Restraint. If these lawyers are men experi enced in court work, they can some times do this by sheer ingenuity in the art of cross-examination and ability to take quick advantage of psycholog ical situations as they arise. Sen ator Brookhart when in action seems a man of fairly placid temperament. He is a lawyer, but his experience in that profession has been far short of that of Senator Walsh. Senator Wheeler is also a lawyer with some experience as a prosecuting officer, having-served five terms as federal district attorney in Montana. In some of Ills recent somite speeches on Daugherty. Senntor Wheeler hud a lack ot restraint that did not help the case. For example, he said that Daugherty was a friend of Doherty, Sinclair and McLean. If Senator Wheeler had omitted the first two thirds of that assertion, lie would have been less subject to having his ac curacy questioned, Tsnd If he had dwelt at length on the Intimacy with Mc Lean he would have had plenty of material with which to support his allegation. Will Probe "Ohio Crowd." A good deal of the Daugherty in vestigation Is expected to deal with the activities of what Washington sometimes refers to as "The Ohio crowd.” By this phrase is meant a number of old friends and associ ates of Daugherty and some old as sociates of both Daugherty and Hard ing. According to the charges just beginning to be made, a number of theso men came to Washington In tho trail of the Harding administra tion, or set themselves up elsewhere and took cases pending before various government departments. In these cases, according to the charges, the value of these men to their clients, and their capacity to get big fees, rested rather more on their presumed Intimacy with Daugherty or Harding, or both, than on their real ability and experience. These stories will now be subjected to the test of ex amination under oath. If there is even a fraction of truth in some of them as told in the gossip of Wash ington, the Itaugherty Investigation should reveal some tilings not only scandalous, but also contributing to the gayety of nations by their dram atic quality and occasionally their amusing quality. This particular field Is only a small portion of the charges against Daugh erty's competence to tie head of the Department of Justice which the sen ate committee will investigate. It is anticipated that a part of Daugh erty's defense will be In the form of turning on some ot his critics and "showing up" requests made to him by senators and others for some friends who wanted jobs; and some other friends of senators or others i whose pressing need was not a job.

After the committee had adjourned until tomorrow, Senator Walsh, demo crat. Montana, chief prosecutor in the inquiry, made a formal statement indicating opposition to the confirma tion of Samuel Knight of San Fran cisco to be special government coun sel in the court action for the re covery of California oil lands operated by tho Standard OH company of Cali fornia and others. Senator Walsh said he had been "reliably Informed" that Knight was attorney In California for tho Equit able Trust company of New York, “a Rockefeller bank," and that should this prove to he the erase this would lie basis for a fight against senate approval of the president's appointee. Means Subpoenaed. » Special government counsel in the oil lease annulment suits were unable to complete the necessary papers today for Institution of Initial civil litiga tion in those cases, but it was Indi cated that action would not bo long delayed. During the day a move was made in the oil committee to endeavor to get at tho facts as to reports that Gaston B. Means, as a secret agent of the Department of Justice, had In terested himself In the oil matter or had obtained information regarding It. A eubpoena was issued for Means by Acting Chairman Ijadd at the re quest of Senator Dill, democrat, Washington. Means, who no longer Is connected with the Justice depait ment. Is under Indictment in New York on a charge of conspiracy to violate the Voletead act. The telegrams delivered to the committee today from Palm lteach still leaves Incomplete the tele graphic records which it seeks. Mes sages from th« New Orleans and Three Rivers, N. JM , offices still are to he examined as are telegrams from the Washington offices of the two telegraph companies. Some disagreiment arose In the committee today over the admission of certain of the Palm Beach mes sages, but It was not Indicated Just what their subject matter was. Some senators took the position that they were not relevant to the Inquiry, but others insisted that they were and finally carried their point. More Code Wires Found. Several more code telegrams were found and apparently were in the old cipher of the Department of Justice which was used in the famous "Mary" and other telegrams cx ehanged between McLean's employes. These will be decoded by cipher ex perts of the army signal corps. There was nothing in the mes sages to cleur up the Identity of tlie fruits—"peaches," apples," "apri cots" and "cherries '—to which there were references in telegrams at ready made public. Committeemen said McLean's employes would be asked as to this. There was little communication be tween the Florida resort and New Orleans after Albert B. Fall, former interior secretary, moved on to the latter place where E. L. Doheny In formed him of his purpose to disclose to the oil committee that Doheny had loaned him $100,000, senators said. Menip Referred To. Many of the telegrams were dupli cates to those already furnished the committee from Washington, but some filled lti missing links. There was found the telegram from which McLean was to eliminate the odd words so as to determine its mean ing. This message, sent to the publisher by J. F. Fitzgerald, an employe. railed attention that there were two stories une that McLean was too ill to come to Washington to testify, and the other that he was playing golf in Florida. Senators and there was inquiry as to how these might lie reconciled. There was further mention In other messages about the trip to Florida of j C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to the president, and some references to William J.

The reason lies in palm and olive oils, but not in any ordinary blend. Palm and olive oils have for ages held supreme place as cos metics. But no one dreamed what they could do until Palmolive Soap was created. This was a unique production, based on 60 years of soap study. The result of modern scientific study of the skin. Palmolive has become, on this account, the leading toilet soap of the world. Now it is made in five countries, to meet the world wide demand. It is made in France, the home of fine cosmetics, because French women find no soap to compare. Old “olive oil” soaps—even real Castile—have been largely replaced by Palmolive. Now, after all this, let no one convince you that any “olive oil” soap is much like it Some are very crude indeed, with artificial color, and made largely of animal fat They will cleanse, of course. But ages have proved that they never do what Palmolive does for complexions. Palmolive is not the only great complexion soap. We know of two that compare, but they cost 25 cents. Palmolive costs 10 cents, due to enormous production. If you seek youth and beauty, there is only that choice^a costly soap or Palmolive. Mere so-called “olive oil” soaps cannot bring it Let no one mislead you on this point, for any selfish purpose.
