ST PAUI, Minn., Feb. 16.- How a
trusted cashier on a salary of $125 a
month was able to dine and sup with
theatrical beauties was revealed here
yesterday when John Vincent Dowling,
cashier of the Hackett-Gates-Hurty
Company. wholesale hardware dealers,
pleaded guilty in district court to a
charge of grand larceny in the first
degree after an alleged shortage of
$60,000 had been uncovered.
Dowling will be brought before the
court Wednesday for further exam-
ination.
Dowling’s peculations extended over
a period of ten years, during which he
led a dual life. Cultured, a college
graduate, with marked ability In music
and dramatic art, by night he lived
in a dream world he had forsaken
when at 16 he gave up his hopes of
stage success to become an under-clerk

long. ,
Daytimes he was a punctual, obliging
employe of value in the humdrum life-
of an office. On the one hand,hetrod

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16—With-
out debate, the house adopted) to-
Jay the Walsh resolution directing
the beginning of proc—dinga to re-
cover sections 16 and 36 within
naval reserve No. 1 in California,
now operated by the Standard Oil
Company of California.
Deputy Sheriff Jim McCoy cap-
tured an automobile load of 113
abort quarts of toquila, an eight-
cylinder Oldsmobile roadster and
thee men shortly before noon
Saturday at West Sixth and Colo-
rado Streets and conveyed his
prises to the court house, where
the men were placed in jail.
The three men gave their names
as Heath May, H. C. Rossett and
L. E. Volmer.
After the men had been placed
in jail the car was taken into the
alley behind the jail and there its
cargo unloaded. Evidently the te-
quila was taken aboard over in

out the little formality of paying
duty. Each of the bottles was in
a straw wrapper and carefully
swathed in cloth wrappings to pre-
vent breakage.

the farmer’s wife was knocked uncon-

weapon from the husband's hands.
Emma, 2 years old, suffered a deep

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1A—The reve-

day in the house on waves of oratory
while leaders tightened their lines for
the showdown next week on the fight
over the Garner and Mellon income'

Republicans have sacrificed the

to advance a minimum surtax rate of
35. per Cent when the income rate
schedules are reached for amendment.
If this is rejected, slightly higher rates
will be offered progressively until a
majority of votes can be obtained, and
by this means the Republicans predict
a rate will be adopted lower than the
44 per cent maximum proposed in the
Democratic program. /

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1*.—The sen-
ate oil committee, after developing sen-
sations in startling rapidity for -a
month past, has taken -a ten-day re-
cess.
"Before adjourning last night, it re-
ceived testimony discrediting the ru-
mors about the sale of President
Harding’s Marion Star which had been
given circulation by Frank A. Vander-
lip. Also it received word from Otto
H. Kahn and B. F. Yoakum that they
had no knowledge of any 11.006.000 oil
slush fund sent to Washington for dis-
tribution to public officials and others.
The committee, In addition, approved
the nomination of special government
counsel in the oil lease cases, Atlee
Pomerene of Canton, Ohio, and Owen
J. Roberts of Philadelphia. Mr. Rob-
erta was appointed in place of Silas
H. Strawn of Chicago, whose nomi-
nation was withdrawn Thursday by
President Coolidge.
'the nominations will be called up
soon in the senate, where Senator Dill
(Democrat) of Washington will con-
tinue the fight on Mr. Pomerene which
he started in the committee. Mean-
while the counsel will proceed with a
study of the facts so as to speed the
institution of injunction proceedings to
stop extraction of oil from the naval
reserves—the first step in the contem-
plated litigation for annulment of the
Fall leases.
Adjournment of the committee was
simultaneous with a break in New
York stock markets which resulted
from circulation of reports that one
big operator had become bearish on
the theory that public confidence had
become undermined by the oil dis-
closures. e
Announcement of the adjournment
came after the executive session st
which a favorable vote was given to
the special counsel, and it was stated
that the recess was made necessary,
among other reasons, by the enforced
absence from Washington of Senator
Walsh (Democrat) of Montana.
During the interim, committee in-
vestigators will go forward with their
work and the accountants of the fed-
ersi trade commioaion will be able to
conclude their examination of the
books of some of the brokers which
have been subpoenaed by the commit-
tee with a view of determining whAher
there were operations in oil stocks by
public officials at or after the time the
leases were made.
Althdugh the committee made rapid
progress this week in clearing up Ita
witness Mat, many persons remain to
be heard. Among them is Edward B.
MeLean, publisher of the Washington
Post, who has been called from Palm
Beach for questioning with respect to
the slush fund report and also the
checks for 5100,006 which he has testi-
fied were returned to him uncashed by
Albert B. Fall.
Harry F. Sinclair, who is now re-
turning from Europe, may be one of
the first witnesses after the recess.
