Charges
Pile Up on
Daugherty
Unprosecuted Violations of
Various Laws Alleged by
1 Witnesses Before Sen
ate Committee.
Frameup, Says Attorney
Washington. March IB.—New and
surprising allegations of deals and
frameups of unprosecuted violations
»f the law and of money payments for
protection, were tumbled across the
"ommlttee table In the senate's whirl
wind Investigation of Attorney Gen
ial Daugherty and the Department
of Justice.
Gun running, bootleggfng and un
lawful circulation of prizefight films
were the subjects around which the
testimony centered throughout a four
hour committee session scarcely less
colorful than those ^hlch have pre
ceded It.
From his office at the other end
of Washington, Daugherty again
struck back tonight at his accusers.
He reserved until a later time, how
ever, the detailed statement he is pre
paring in refutation of insinuations
made against him on the witness
-tand, and contented himself with n
brief announcement that in due time
he would "advise the public of the in
fluences behind these malicious and
scandalous, attacks and the character
of the tools that are being used In
this cowardly manner by my adver
saries."
Film Deals I'p Again.
H°w tlie Dempsey-Garpentier prize
fight films were exhibited with prof
its of $!?5,000 pnd In 22 to 25 states
with an “understanding” against De
partment of Justice interference de
spite the law was related on the wit
ness stand today by Fred C. Quimby.
New York producer of the films. In
many particulars his story followed
'he previous testimony of Gaston B.
Means and Miss Hoxie Stinson, di
vorced wife of Jesse Smith, dead
friend of Daugherty Both of these
witnesses had testified that 8ml»h
was Interested financially In the
film deal. —
Other witnesses today made rharges
of derelictions in prosecuting Mexican
gun running, bootleggers and Texas
oil stock promoters. Friends of for
mer Secretary Fall and prominent
Texas republicans were named in this
connection and Federal District At
torneys Henry Zwelfel and John D.
Hartman were charged with delay and
failures of prosecution. One witness
said he “believed” Zwelfel was In
volved In a “black mall" scheme
against oil stock promoters.
Direct Evidence Lacking.
Attorney General Daugherty was
not directly Implicated by any of to
day's witnesses, hut the testimony
often trailed to the door of his office,
through his friend Jesse Smith and
subordinate officials.
White the committee was in ses
sion, Chairman Adams of the repub
lican national committee Issued a
statement that “nothing discreditable"
to Mr. Daugherty had yet been de
veloped, but republican leaders In the
senate were known to be studying the
developments carefully with a view
to possible renewal of pressure upon
the administration for action.

House Democrats
Renew Demands
Roosevelt Resign
Stevenson Swerves Attack to
Colonel’s Wife for
Having Owned
Oil Stocks.
Washington, March In.—Partisan
debate over the leasing of naval dil
reserves broke out In the house late
today and led to demand by demo
crats for the immediate resignation
of Colonel Roosevelt ss acting secre
tary of the navy.
Rooaevelt'a retirement waa called
for by Representative Stevenson, dem
ocrat, of South Carolina, who charges
that Mrs. Roosevelt owned stock In
one of Harry F. Sinclair's oil com
panies, hut denial of this was made
by Representative Nicholas Long
worth, republican, of Ohio, brother-in
law of Colonel Roosevelt.
Stevenson declared that Roosevelt
was ‘'tainted'' hy his former connec
lion with Sinclair and that he had
exceeded his authority hy ordering
marines to Wyoming to drive squat
ter* off the Teapot Dome.
Admitted Owning Stock.
"Theodore Roosevett admitted hav
ing )>een an officer of the Sinclair
company,” said Stevenson. "His
hrother, Archie, was an officer of
this company or a subsidiary, em
ployed at $15,000 up to the time the
investigation got so hot the boy had
to jump from the oil decks of the
ship. He then called on Teddy for
help. Theodore Roosevelt admitted
his wife owned stock In the Sinclair
company when the oil leases on Tea
pot Dome were made.”
Longworth charged Stevenson
made a "false statement” concerning
Mrs. Roosevelt.
fie asserted she had disposed of her
Sinclair oil stock three months before
the leases were signed.
Tincher Defends Roosevelt.
"Theodore Roosevelt had a rhanee
to state that and did not," said Stev
enson. "I had a right to Infer she
owned It at thnt time, hut she did
own stock and Archie Roosevelt did
hold the job. Theodore Roosevelt was
as much involved as Secretary Renhy
and aft the lawyers who were recent
ly excluded from conducting prosecu
tions In these oil cases and when Den
by was forced out, Roosevelt should
have gone,
"We are going to have a new secre
tary of the navy," Stevenson con
cluded. “He is from the Pacific coast.
They are talking now about a new
naval hose at Alameda. What would
prevent him from taking all the olt
from these feserves nnd hulldlng this
navy base If the views of the Navy de
partment as to use of naval oil re
serve funds Is correct?”
A vigorous defense of Colonel
Roosevett was made by Congressman
Tincher, republican, of Kansas, who
denied there had been any Impro
priety In the conduit of either Theo
dore Roosevelt or Mrs. Roosevelt.
