PROMISES Borah to Head Special Senate Committee on Wheeler Indictment Washington, April 10 Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, was named today as chairman of the special Senate committee which will investigate the circumstances surrounding the indictment by a Montana grand jury of Senator Burton K.

Washington, April 10 In an interim between'testimony about the Miller Brothers' land fraud case in Oklahoma and the Old Hickory powder plant litigation in Tennessee, the Daugherty committee today dipped a finger into the controversy which has arisen over the indictment of the 'committee prosecutor, Senator Wheeler, by a Montana grand jury. 3 0 3 LOAN William J. Burns, ahief of the Justice Department's secret agents, testified that he had sent several men into Montana on the Wheeler case the first three or four weeks ago, at the request of the Postoffice Department.

He had talked to former Attorney General Daugherty about the case, he said, but replied in the negative to a question as to whether Daugherty had said he "wanted to get something on Wheeler." Burns Reported to Daugherty. Burns also said he had reported to (Daughterly that "you Senator Wheeler) were attorney for the Gordon-Campbell concern." The conversation took place at apartment, Burns said, but added "he would have to look it up" to see whether it was before or after Daugherty left office as Attorney General. The investigation of the Gordon-Campbell Company was started by "Mr. Cunningham" of the Postofhce 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 Justice, but worked for the Republican Vational Committee.

The witness said "he didn't know" that Lockwood and Daugherty were "close friends," but had seen the two men together in Daugherty's apartment. Burns was talking with Daugherty "about this hearing here," he said, when the Campbell matter came up. "He wanted to geft something on Wheeler?" Chairman Brookhart suggested. "He didn't say so." Burns replied. "Then you immediately sent three men there?" Chairman Brookhart HERE AND NOW N.U Finding of that "easy access to the White House" was followed by the discovery of an easy exit from the Attorney General's office.

Mlneola, April 10 The third day of the Nassau County investigation ordered by Governor Smith witnessed the resignation in a body or four members of the county including the two oldest motorcycle officers of the force, and Special Deputy Attorney General Kenneth M.

Spence, who Is directing the probe, said one or more of his assistants would promptly begin an investiga tion into the circumstances surrounding this development.

Plant resigned at the end of his suspension for being intoxicated while off duty, and Pearsall and Player tendered their resignations without giving any reasons. Pressed to relate the circumstances surrounding the raid which led to Hope's dismissal the Sheriff said, with a show of reluctance: "There was a raid made on the Guggenheim estate Friday night, when 814 cases of liquor were seized by Federal agents under Roy Merrick, with the aid of Port Washington police, including Chief Frederick Snow.

April 13. Kir. WHY il French Say Experts' Report Justifies Claims of Evasion. Tarts, April 10 (By the Associated Tress) After 24 hours' consideration of the reports of the two expert reparation committees, spokesmen for official circles today declared no official opinion had been formed of the recommendations contained in the documents. Satisfaction, how ever, was freely expressed that the experts had found evidence tending; to confirm the French attitude re Harding- Germany.

It is assumed by the officials that the Dawes report justifies what the French have been, saying; for three years as to these four points: Tha Oermany was allowing: her capital to be sent out of the country: that he was practicing mad prodigality in ner budgret; that she was neglect ing to Impose proper taxation, and that she was excessively developing ner entire industrial installation in flagrant contradiction of her con tinued pleas of distress. One of the unexpected results of me nnng of the reports is to end all talk of an approaching Entente con ference. It is declared at the For eign Office that official circles are ie norant of any intention by Premier niaeuonaia or ureat Britain to come to France and are unaware of any tentative suggestion to organize meeting of the British Premier with M. Poincare. The Reparation Commission has the floor," is the stereotyped reply as to wnat tne Anted Governments arc likely to do concerning the experts pian.

Meanwhile it is thought probable mat tne Reparation Commission will endeavor to draw out the attitude of tne Gorman Government and that it will refer the report to the Allied Governments only after it has ao quired a clear idea as to whether the Berlin Government is ready to accept tne experts suggestion. Berlin Newspapers' Comment Berlin, April 10 (By the Associated rress) The bulk of the editorial comment published in the Berlin newspapers today inclines to the opinion that the report of Brigadier oeneral Dawes' expert reparation committee constitutes a basis for ne gouatlons. only in the isolated in stances of the Nationalistic organs is opposition to the recommendations voiced, and even there the familiar cry of "unacceptable" which has greeted past plans is wholly lacking nugo winner ueutsens Allgemelne Zeitung declares it behooves the Ger man Government to give th report "ojercivp ana intensive examine. nation." Vorwaerts says: "The rjues "lion which now confronts any Ger man government is: Can it march into-the Ruhr and drive) out the French? If not, then there is only one parn to iresdom lert us, ana that In the experts report. The oueation is merely whether the liberation of the occupied territory hall be accomplished by guns or payments.

To reject the xprts" r- port impossible, and what one cannot reject one must accept." The only organ which suggests the recommendations should be bluntly rejected Is the Nationalist Deutsche Zeltung. which declares they would involve "the enslave ment of Germany." Germ an 1, organ of the Center party, takes the view that the pro- posed hardens upon Germany are extraordinarily heavy and doubts wheher they would be bearable. The Monarchist Kreue Zeitung. while complaining of tha heaviness of the burdens, does not advocate complete rejection. All the newspapers are pleased to find the experts taking the view that the restoration of Germany eco nomle and financial sovereignty in the occupied territory is essential if the proposals are to be carried out.

Stieseaiuum Studies Report. London. April 10 The German Foreign Minister, Dr. Stresemann, questioned by the Daily Express correspondent regarding the report of the reparation experts, is quoted as saylng: 'My colleagues snd myself are carefully studying the momentous document. It is too early yet to make any comment beyond saiying that we realize that the report is the product or earnest ana impartial study by a body of men who are anxious to solve the reparation problem." ON SENATE PROBE Washington.

April 10 Senator Gooding, Republican, Idaho, asked the Senate today Investigate the charges made by the Pomona Grange of Idaho that he and his friends were favored by the War Finance Corporation In loans to livestock interests. Denying that there had been any excessive loans to his or allied interests in Idaho, Senator Gooding said he wanted a thorough inquiry into the subject. He declared his own firm, Craln Gooding, a livestock corncern, has obtained only $82,000: F. W. Gooding Sons, 99.B0O, and T.

H. Gooding Sons, $21,600. and that all of the money had been repaid. Senator Gooding said the War Finance Corporation had done a lot of good in Idaho but that not all of the farmers of the State received loans as they had not joined the organization of corporations necessary to obtain Government aid. "My own bank organized a corporation to purchase dairy cows for farmers in my county." Senator Gooding said.

"We then obtained money from the War Finance Corporation to cover the loans made by the banks to our corporation. No such corporation was organized around Boise, the home of the Po. mona Grange. Evidently that Grange expected the Government to make direct loans to the farmers, which, of course, it could not do." Parent!

Adv. GOODING INSISTS DFGRANGE CHARGE Hughes to Act Cautiously In Move to Have Germany Accept Experts Report By X. P. STKDMAX. "Men and measures and not party will bo tio determining factors in the coming presidential campaign," declares Col.

K. M. House, the silent power in the Democratic party whose influence brought about the nomination of Woodrow Wdlson. "In both men and measures or policies the Democratic party Is rich," ho added, "while the Republican purty is sterile of leadership. The Republican machine dominates and rules the party." "The American people have tired of machine government.

When a party lacks a loader who can stand up before t'ongress Rnd the nation and fight for what the people need, that party must fail. Wo need personal leadership In government as In business and when a party is controlled by a clique of machine politicians the government of that party ia of necessity weak and vacillating," is the opinion of Col. House. Whilo believing that the Washington scandals will have a decided effect on campaign oratory such Democratic leaders as Norman H. Davis and Colonel House are of the opinion that reaction against the Fordney-Mct'timber Tariff law, ihe muddle the Republicans have made of farm relief and the Hardlng-Cool-Idgo administration's lack of definite domestic or foreign policies will sweep a progressive Democrat to easy victory.

Progressive Man Xcediil. "A man of progressive ideals, a man in the prime of life, with a record of progressive achievement is the sort of man the Democrats should nominate." says Colonel House. "There are such men in the Democratic party and their stock goes up every day with the public. The Democratic party has men of vision and it will assure victory to the party to choose one of those men as standard bearer. "The American people want a President who can think for himself and he a real executive.

In 1920 they did not think so. But four years of vielllation in Washington has destroyed the public's confidence In 'best minds' and 'normalcy' and again the people want an executive." While Col. House is for Mr. Mc-Adoo he shared Norman H. Davis' opinion that should the ex-Secretary of the Treasury not be nominated, the Democrats could win with such a candidate as John W.

Davis or Car ter Glass. "Take a man like John W. Davis, whose progressive achievements in public office Rre a matter of record," said Norman H. Davis, "or such a judicious business man and statesman ns Carter Glass of Virginia, and find their equals in any other party today. You can't do It.

A man of their type must be nominated by the Democrats. With any one of these men as our nominee we would sweep the ountry. trussTTtaxi ON HOLDUP TOOR Bound and gagged at gun point, thrown like a sack of meal upon the floor of his own taxicab, Edward Lefflcr. a Manhattan chauffeur, was obliged to lie helplessly there, early today, while three bandits drove him about Brooklyn, perpetrated holdup, returned to the cab to divide the spoils and finally, tossed him out Into the night like a dog. They drove many miles in the stolen taxi after booting him out and left, the machine standing at Sheeps head Bnv with Its engine still run nlng.

It was confiscated by de tectives of that district. In the in terval the bandits may have com mitted other holdups. They jour neved back to the city by train. The police are going over the machine, today, for possible finger prints which may lead to tne ais covery that some known crooks are Involved tn the kidnaping and holu-up. Other than that, the best clew they have is Leffler's description of the three, which is good.

Bandits Had Car 4 Honrs. The bandits, all under 25, had the cab for perhaps four hours, during which time they cruised many miles through the streets of Brooklyn They were last seen at the Kings Highway station of the Brighton elevated railroad. Loftier is 22, lives at 348 E. 10th Manhattan, and drives a Mogul Checker car. He was standing with the cab at 50th st.

and 10th Manhattan, at 10:45 last night when the three bandits engaged him. They asked to be driven to Brooklyn to 1600 36th st. Lefllor discovered thai the numbers stop far short of 1 800 and he stopped his cab. They then directed him to drive to 2d ave. and 40th St.

At 2d ave. and 36th St. two men got out. covered him with their guns and told him that If he made a move or an outcry they would shoot him. Leffler had no choice and submitted to the binding of his arms and legs.

A gag was thrust into his mouth and he was flung Into the ear. One of the bandits mounted to the driver's seat. For an hour the stolen cab. with a thief on the box and the rightful driver helpless inside, cruised up this street and down another. Let-fler had no Idea where they wore going.

Finally the vehicle stopped and two of the thugs got out while the third stood by. The police learned afterward thai this was at 4th ave. and 3d where there Is a gas station owned by Richard Shinner. The gunmen held up the clerk, drove him back into the office, shoved him into a closet and locked him in while they rifled the premises. They took some $o0 In bills and siler.

Then they returned to the cab. Leffler lay and heard them discussing the spoils, which they divided as nearly In equal shares as possible. They were ingenious enough not to address one another (Continued on Pace 20.) DRIVER TAKE Ily HOWAKD A. Ml 1 1 1. (Xtuff Cor respondent vf The flntle.) Albany, April 10 Speaker H.

Edmund iMachoId today killed i Controller Craig's plan to ex-1 lempt $275,000,000 in bonds from the city debt limit for subway purposes, and a few minutes afterward the Assembly, by a unanimous vote, passed the com-' promise transit bill placing upon Mayor Hylan and the City Board of Estimate full responsibility for subway construction in the future. All power to initiate work, draw plans, let contracts and supervise construction is lifted from the Transit Commission, which remains as the regulatory body, and vested in the city, and Mayor Hylan is authorized to name a commission of three to carry out the work, under the terms of the bill. Municipal operation is permitted on a scrvicc-at-cost basis. The bill is due to come up later in the Senate, which has not yet voted on it. Although no dissenting votes were tu.st in the Assembly, the measure wa criticized and Mayor Hylan was attacked by some New Vork solons for failure to obtain transit relief sooner.

Controller Craig says that tho rejection of the bond issue proposition means no new subways for New York City, in spite of the fact that the two parties here have agreed on a compromise transit bill.

"The city will do the best It can on new subway construction with its limited capital," the Mayor said. The Mayor also declared that he would request Governor Smith to call a special session of the Legislature for the purpose of getting the Craig bill through.

"I have not fallen out with Dock Commissioner John H. Delaney or with the Democratic majority leader of the Senate," said the Mayor. "All that talk Is bunk." Will Keep Vp Fight. "All I can say Is that it is re grettable that Speaker Machold and the Republican members of the As sembly would not give us a bit more than what the transit Interests would approve of.

TAX PLAN GALLS FOR 40 PISURTAX Presented to Senate as New- Revenue Bill Is Formal ly Reported. Washington, April 10 The new revenue bill was formally reported to the Senate today and along with it was a new Democratic ta. plan carrying an Income tax schedule somewhat similar to the Longworth plan adopted by tho House and turned down by the majority of the Senate Finance Committee.

The Democratic proposal, which i'a sponsors believe will have the tupport of the Repjblican insurBont group, carries a maximum surtax rate of 40 -ercent on incomes in excess of J500.000. as compared with the maximum of 25 percent on incomes in excess of $100,00 in the Finance Committee bill. Noral income tax rates proposed in he Democratic plan are 2 Percent on incomes up to J4.000; 4 percent on Incomes between $4,000 and $8,000, and 6 percent on Incomes above $8,000. All heads of families, irre spective of the amount of their Income, would be given the present exemption of $2,500. No other change in the exemntions Is proposed.

Senator Simmons of North Carolina, ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee, presented the Democratic substitute just after Chairman Smoot had brought in the majority report of the committee and had announced that be probably would call the bill up for con sideration next Wednesday. it would be useless to consider it be fore then, he said, as Senators would not have time to sufficiently inform themselves of Its provisions. The surtax untkr the Democratic plan would begin at 1 percent on $10,000 and would graduate up the maximum.

With a Presidential election in tht offing the impulse to avoid any action is obvious. Tf the Dawes -eport is rejected by Germany, the Administration will disclaim all responsibility.
