A T LAST President Coolidge lias
rid himself and his administra
tion of the incubus of Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty. Lust Thursday the
President in writing asked the resigna
tion of Daugherty from the cabinet.
The resignation was received at the
White House next morning and was
immediately accepted. It went into
effect at once.
Mr. Cpplidge's Immediate reason for
requesting Daugherty to get out was
the position the latter had taken in
refusing to open the confidential files
of the Department of Jiistice to the
Brookhi^rt fhvestigntlng, committee.
Daugherty made good in Ids expressed
determination not to leave the cab
inet unless the President directly
asked . him to do so. Now he and his
supporters feel that he has not been
fairly treated, in that the investiga
tion into his conduct lias not iieen
completed. ' .

A L JENNINGS, evangelist, politi
cian and former train robber,
presented to the senate oil committee
his promised “whale of a story." It
was to the effect that- in V 19L’(I the late
Jake Hainan, then Republican national
committeeman from Oklahoma, told
him that Harding was to be nominated
for president and that it had cost
Harpon $1,000,000. ’He said that $2"»0,-
000 of this was given to the late Sen
ator Penrose of Pennsylvania and
$25,000 to Will Hays. Huuion told
him, continued. Jennings, that lie was
to be made secretary of the interior
and was to share In public lands.
However, he was killed soon after the
election.
Jennings also quoted Hamon as hav
ing said that with the money lie would
make lie eventually would become
president of the United Stated.
“Wasn’t Hamon for Wood at tin
start?" asked Senator Uursuni.
• "He never liked Wood," Jennings
replied. ‘‘He said Wood was too much
impregnated witli the d—d fool hVn-
esty of Theodore Roosevelt.
Itoxie Stinson told the senate com
mittee- investigating Attorney General
Daugherty a lot more alleged facts
damaging to the recitation of him and
his iissoclates, and some of them were
confirmed from jitlier sources. Her
most sensational story was about a
"$33,(XX),(KX).t>AA stock deni" carried out
in the'fa 11 i6f^Ku22 by five men of na
tional prominence, whom she declined,
for the time being, to name. She said
Daugherty and Jess Smith, her di
vorced husband, were sore because
they were not in on. it. This alleged
story was so vague that It was re
garded generally as’ fanciful.
Harry Sinclair's refusal to answer
any njore questions of the Teapot
Dome committee was reported to the
senate and that body, by a vote of 72
to 1, decided to turn the matter over
to the federal grand jury. The ques
tion is me of the constitutional limi
tations of the powers of congress, and
it will ultimately be carried to the
Supreme court for decision. C. C.

Kentucky and five other men
were indicted in Washington for con
spiracy to interfere with the operation
of the prohibition law and to defraud
the government.
J UST as plans for the peaceful set
tlement of the reparations and
other post-war troubles of Europe
were beginning to move steadily
toward accomplishment, M. Lasteyrle,
French minister of finance, ‘‘pulled a
boner" last Wednesday and compelled
Premier Poincare and his cabinet to
resign. There was considerable dis
may in diplomatic circles, but this was
allayed when M. Poincare, after con
sulting the presidents of the senate
and chamber of deputies, yielded to-
the request of President MHlcrund
and consented to form a new ministry.
The Incident, after all, turned out ad
vantageously, for the premier was en
abled to get rid of several ministers
whose unpopularity lias hampered him.
Lasteyric's failure to control the
financial situation had made him the
object of frequent attacks, and when
on Wednesday he demanded an imme
diate vote by the deputies on the gov
ernment’s pension bill the chamber
sent it to a committee for investiga
tion. Lasteyrie thereupon called for
a vote of confidence—a Parliamentary
blunder—and this was refused, 2G4 to
271. The resignation of the cabinet
followed as a matter of course. Poin
care, however, felt that lie must retain
the reins of government until the re-
Denmark. —The Sojourner Poultry
farm in Denmark is being operated on
a big scale and by the end of, the
summer this farm will have 5,000 lay
ing hens: There are now 3,000. This
farm is equipped with three 100 foot
laying Jiouses, 25 smaller colony hous
es, besides ten acres divided into feed
ing yards.
The poultry farm is situated on a
35 acre tract just outside of Denmark
proper. The hatchery is located in
the heart of the^town of Denmark, in
thr business section, where it is easily
accessible to ship the chicks by all
express companies and postoffice.
Three large incubators, which are
operated by electricity, have a total
capacity of 20,000 eggs and each week
5,000 baby chicks are hatched from
this modern plant.
The Sojourner Poultry farm speci
alizes in the Paish 265 to 300 egg
strain White Leghorns and sells eggs
for hatching to customers all over the
United States. Baby chicks, broilers
and laying hens have been sold to re
mote points. The poultry farm has
made arrangements by which it can
draw Rhode Island Red eggs from
three different farms of high repute
and standing and this farm * also
hatches and sells baby chicks from
these eggs. Thi£ concert has been
remarkably successful, having built
the business tip from a very small be
ginning about three years ago. In a
very short time this poultry fartn is
expected to be one of the largest in
the south. ^ j
