Sofia, May 17.—Nickola Ghecheff, s young Bulgarian, could not obtain a passport to go to the United States, so he shot and killed himself in the office of the American vice-consul here. Ghecheff had lived In the United States several years, but returned to Bulgaria three years ago, intending to take his wife back with him to America. He found, however, that his wife had transferred her affec tions to another man, and although he spent three years trying to win her back, she refused to return to hint. Furthermore, she refused to refund the $5,000 he had sent her from America. Ghecheff appealed to the American vice consul for aid in getting his Ihoney back and also for a passport so he could return to America and ^ forget his unhappiness in Bulgaria. He was told that nothing could be done about recovering the money and that he could not have a passport now because Bulgaria's quota for this year had been filled. Disappoint ment at his inability to return to the United States caused him to end his life. Passport officials declare that many Bulgarian men and women have threatened suicide when refused visas for Jthe United States.

Washington. May 17.—The courts will be asked by the senate Daugherty committee to help it secure the can celed checks of Georgs Remus, Ohio liquor operator, w’hich he has testified will tend to verify his story of large money payments to the late Jess Smith, companion of former Attorney General Daugherty for "protection.' After a conference with Attorney Gen eral Stone the committee held nn executive session today to arrange for legal proceedings. There was no friction between Mr. Stone and the committee. Chairman Brnokhart eaid, hut court action was considered neces sary because Remus Is serving a term in the Atlanta penitentiary. Wants to (jet Papers. Remus testified yesterday, when brought to the committee from At lanta, that his check records of mil lions of dollars In liquor transactions would throw additional light on his assertion that he paid between $2;t0, 000 and 1300,000. He Is still under guard In Washington and desires to go to Cincinnati himself to get the papers. Resuming Its hearings after the ex ecutlve session, the committee railed to the stand Warren Grimes, special assistant to the attorney general, ami Senator Wheeler asked him If he did not know that "part of the $100,000 paid Albert B. Fall by E. T„. Doheny was for the purpose of starting a revolution. In Mexico. The witness said he did not know%. Senator Wheeler also questioned Grimes about prosecutions against several committee witnesses whlj-h the senator charged were started "with the purpose of Impeding the investigation." The rommlttee prosecutor got Grltnei to euy that he knew Fred Dnto, a brother Ip law of F.stabnn Catu, former governor of lyiwcr Cali fornia, was under subponen ns a com mlttee witness along with former Mayor Abbott of Calexico, Cal., and Fred Gershon. All of the men named, Senntor Wheeler's examination Indi cated, had some knowledge of an en terprlae for smuggling arms Into Mexico. He drnppeil the Fall Doheny Inquiry with the single question. Turning then to the question of prosecutions sgnlnst some of those named, Senator Wheeler naked: "The reason for this action Is be cause these men bad been called here and you and W. J. Burna wan fed to arrest them and prosecute them to lit tinddnte them." "That Isn't true," Grimes retorted Thero Was Record. "The truth Is that there was In your office a record of violations of the neutrality law, a conspiracy In eluding Fred Dnto, that was still go Ing on. and thero were no proaecu tlons?" pursued Senator Wheeler. "That Isn't true. There was a lot of matter In the files ns to Dnto. Our files will show that General Cantu, Dato and others went to New York, cams to Wanhlngton and have at tempted to get money to start a revo Imlon." "Now Gershon was the man who got the Information to atop the mu nition*?” "Our later files show exactly the reverse.” "Sow, after Gerehon got theae guns. Burns ordered them returned to the people who had them, and Ger shon was fired?” "That Isn't true. Two United States attorneys refused to prosecute, and the, testimony of Burns Is that Mr. Daugherty ordered the guns re turned after a cabinet meeting, where the matter was discussed." Senator Wheeler suggested that Fall was then a cabinet member. "Don't you know your file* show that I2D0.000 went to Cantu from the oil interests?" "I don't know," Grimes said. "It may be there." Senator Wheeler had a lot of rec ords which purported to he copies of Department of JustltY. files. Reading from a report wri**en by Grimes, the eenator suggested that Grime* had recommended that "Dato be carefully handled” to get him to testify ngainst Gershon. "Dato can't be hnndled like an ordl nary crook,” Grimes said. "He is understood to have paid money to Gershon. Let me say that the Cantu rebellion hasn't been taken seriously by the State department or anybody." There was a case of bribery of an United States officer to be fol lowed up, Grimes said. "So our $ole purpose was to prose cute Gershon?” Senator Wheeler asked. Wanted Gershon "My sole purpose was that which Is held in hundreds of eases. Grimes said, "to get evidence for preparing n case.” Wheeler rend him another extract from the file* signed by W. J. Burns. It said that Gershon was "posing around as a moral uplifter and house cleaner of the government service" and directed S, Wheeler, agent in charge at Los Angeles, to prepare a case against him. "I wrote that for Mr. Burns." Grimes said. "We wanted to get Ger shon becauee we felt he nnsa crook." Senator Moses, republican. New Hampshire, objected that Senator Wheeler was "impugning the mo tives" of Grimes. "It s about time that somebody ftlrt some Impugning of motives." Sen ntor Wheeler returned. "They are In d.ctlng and scaring every witness they can." Senator Moses replied that he hadn't objected to the "testimony of men dragged nut of Jail.” hut did oh Jcrt to attacking "an honorable man." "I haven't been trying to protect anybody," Grimes said, after the row had quieted. "I didn't meet Mr Daugherty but nnee, and I was there leng before he was.” Agetl Wife Divorced Young Spendthrift Bridgeport. Conn., May 17—Ada.1.
