PICKARD’ A ttorney general Daugh erty, less complaisant than Mr. Denby, will not get out of the cabinet voluntarily—at least not for the pres ent. President Coolidge will not ask for the resignation of the nation's chief law officer. The senate will go oMfrrth with its proposed investigation of the conduct of Mr. Daugherty and the Department of Justice, without op position by the administration forces. These conclusions were reached Hie middle of the week, after three days of earnest consultations in the White House. The President conferred at length with (William M. Butler, ids campaign manager; Frank W. Stearns, his Boston .backer, and with other party lead^y- He reached the conclu sion! it is said. Mi at Mr. Daugherty’s continued presence in the cabinet would be very injurious 'to the chances of the Republican party, especially in Ohio, and that he should resign. This with the advice given the hear ] president by Senators Lodge and Pep- ! per. But the attorney general himself NVESTIGATION of the oil reserve ent on* merrily throughout the week. 0. Rascom Slemp, secretary to the President, was the first witness, and lie told the committee he dined frequently with , Fall and E. B. Mc Lean while at Palm Beach, Fla., and that he urged Fail to make a clean breast of the $100,000 transaction. Con cerning that matter and all else that lie knew of the oil affair, McLean was called on to tell the senators. Their determination to question him closely was strengthened by the reading of many telegrams that passed lietween Washington and Florida, revealing the strenuous efforts made to call off Sen ator Walsh from ids intention of put ting McLean on the witness stand. The messages showed A. Mitchell Pal mer tried to induce Senator Under wood 1 to influence Walsh, and- the names of William G: McAdoo and ids son Francis appeared. McLean, it ap- LP peared, lehsed a wire from Welling ton to his Palm Beach cottage and the 1 chief White House telegrapher was engaged to operate it. The committee decided to call Mr. Palmer tb the stand.

Chief among ttiese recommendations | were those for provision of more edu cation than now provided, particularly In regard to matters of citizenship, which will be brought about by an in vestigation as to competency of every native-born ojtlzen as fully as the for eign-born is examined. Doctor Seerley ■aid Another feature of the conference was the report of “Group C.” that sec* tion of ttyp work—in—wWeh the Ameri can Legion was most vitally interested. Garland W.

Pes simistic and bitter as usual, lie de clared that “not one-tenth of the cor- ruption and iniquity which lias exist ed" in oil lease affairs has yet been laid hare, and .then lie exercised his peculiar talents in excoriating William G. McAdoo, Ids leading rival. Citing an array of alleged facts and figures, lie undertook to show that McAdoo expected to receive $1,004,000 in legal fees from E. L. Dolieny, the oil mag nate,''from .the Charles W. Morse in terests and the motion-picture con cerns, “although he did not appear in a single lawsuit.” Winding'up his re lation of McAdoo and oil.

An authorized spokesman for the President said that one of the most disturbing factors of the present time was the large number of appro priation hills pending which called for enormous expenditures. Bills are be ing given serious considemtion which provide for additional^ expenditures larger than the entire expenditures of tile government, the Post Office depart ment excepted, before the war. Bills which cause thfe President most Concern relate principally to measures for extra compensation, Increased pen sions of all descriptions, and the sol diers’ bonus hills, but added to these there is a general tendency to Increase expenditures all along the lirie. Tills tendency, the President insists, etills for determined resistance or else j the country will be swamped. The re sult not only will lie a failure of any tax y reduction, but the country will actually lie facing an increase in taxes. He is convinced that there are plen ty of resources in the country to sup port all of its population in comfort if the people will only he willing to go along on the present level until there Is-production ‘ enough to warrant an increase. But, he holds, if through congressional action, yielding to pres sure ^exerted from many organizations, appropriations are increased, the coun try will have to face a decline until there can he a liquidation and a fresh start. C ONGRESS Wednesday suspended business and .the ^senate and house joined in a memorial service to the late* President Hanling. President Coolidge, the cabinet, the Supremo couij and the foreign diplomats were In attendance, and Mrs. Harding sat with a group of friends in. one of the galleries. The only speaker was Sec- reti’.ry of State Hughes, who sketched Mr. Harding’s career and paid, elo quent tribute to his accomplishments in public and private life.

The committee’^ statements- met with c(>nts or less was adopted. The tax on auto tires and parts was cut in half. It was agreed that a finab vote on the measure would be taken before the Legion, clearly enunciated the alms of the conference at its inception when he said, as chairman of that group: “We believe that the chief aim of this conference is to provide that every man and woman in the United States who cannot already do so be taught to speak, read and write the English lan guage. We further believe that the first elements of citizenship shottht - be r^ s part of such Instruction.” On this was the principal worn ot the conference founded. An attempt had been made by elements of the con ference to make combating of illiter acy apply only to native-born Ameri cans, but the Legion and other agen cies, co-operating in Group C. declared against this, aiming to bring those of foreign birth into the scope of the enm- paign. The recommendation of the group in which the Legion participated was that the United States commissioner of edu cation be requested to appoint a com mittee of at least nine persons, with professional experience in this field, three of whom are to be members of Group C of the illiteracy conference, for the purpose of reviewing the ma terials submitted by Group C of this confference and forwarding the results of their work to those engaged in Illit eracy work in the. United States. It was further recommended that the commissioner secure representatives of the entire country on thi,s commit tee. The report of the subcommittee of- this group on textbooks and materials urged use of certain principles in selec tion of textbooks for instruction. These principle: include texts that conform to the ability of adult students; that do not violate psychological principles of suggestion; that conform to accept ed methods of teaching; such text should contain fundamental items of Information on health, food, hygiene and sanitation; with suggested texts for specific groups of native-born illit erates, foreign-horn Illiterates and in termediate and advanced texts for all groups. .Consolidation of rural schools is growing in favor, according to the re ports to the conference. ' One-room schools are disappearing, data showing that 1,828 consolidations were.effected in the school years of 1921-1922, with 14 states not reporting. At least four of these states are known to be making considerable progress In the work of eliminating single small schools, in some cases these are being Improved, not by removal to a distant central lo cation, but by natural growth in two and three-room schools. There were 1,890 consolidated schools in the Unit ed-States in 1920. There are now ap proximately 15,000 of such schools, anti a decrease of 8.500 one-room schools Is noted In the three-year period. All this has had a safutagy effect on the salaries of school teachers. resulU ing, in turn, in higher mentality for the teafiling profession.
