(Associated Press t-eaned Wire.) NEW YORK, Feb. 21. Frank A. Vanderllp, retired banker, in a reply today to the $600,000 libel suit filed against him yesterday by the owners of tbe Marion Star declared he wel comed the suit and expressed the hope that it would be tbe forerunner of court proceedings tbat would make public "some of tbe news that tbe great newspapers did not see fit to print" "I am prepared to spend twice ns much as has been aBked for in this suit," he said adding "there Is noth ing this country needs so much at this moment as court proceedings, lulttated by grand Juries and pressed by Incorruptible prosecuting at torneys." The statement continued: "Twenty two months ago. In April 1122, the senate by unanimous reso lution called for the facts in tbe Tea pot Dome leases. Tbat resolution was so framed that tbe red flag of sus picion was run up. For weeks no answer at all was received and none was pressed for and there after un til quite recently the search for the faets was made without vigor. What were the newspapers doing for 22 months? What was Senator Walsh doing? It looks as If somebody bad been asleep at the switch or per haps asphyxiated at the switch. At least, no court proceedings have yet resulted from the Teapot Dome situa tion. "Nor have there been, so far as 1 am aware, any court proceedings in itiated as a resslt of tbe criminal mismanagement of the veterans bur eau. Tbs wboiesale dishonesty there Is not a matter of rumor; It is a mat ter of official record in the commit tee proceedings and the proceedings of congress, and Mr. Forbes and bis friends have as yet encountered no court proceedings." "There have been no proceedings or even a thorough investigation of the alien property administration. There are other directions In which court proceedings would be admir able. "Congress today la spending Its time solemnly and partlsanly debat ing an Income tax measure. It Is like discussing the site of a faucet you would put In a barrel leaking be tween half tbe staves.

(Acx-latd Prsss Ltaad Wlrs.) WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.Havln failed to induce President Coolldae Immediately to remove Attorney-Gen eral Daugnerty from office. Mr. uaugherty a critlca In tbe aenate to day laid out a plan of campaign which may predicted would force him to resign. Preparations were made to lay be fore the country In a public Inuulry new information and charges that nave recently reached tbe ears of Senators and to make even clearer tbe belief of republican senate lead ers that the attorney-general nbould no longer be permitted to ait In the cabinet. It waa revealed today that much ot tbe material collected by those opposing Mr. Daugnerty as well as much of tbe data gathered by lndi ividual senators in tbe oil inuulry has been withheld In tbe hope tbat the president voluntarily would clear his administration of those who re cently have been attacked by congress. Among other things, a special In vestigator has reported to at least one senator that the name of a cab inet official appears among those listed as having purchased Sinclair oil stock. This development has bsea been reported to the oil committee end to tbe president to establish tbe accuracy of tbe report. Senators say tbe name of tbe cab inet official will not be revealed un til any evidence produced on the sub Jeot Is formally presented In tbe committee bearings after their re sumption Monday. It is known how ever, that tbe luvestigator's list of reported stock buyers also Includes at least one man wbo formerly held a high post In the government, but retired some time ago. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21 A re port tbat Attorney-General Daugb erty has bought and sold Sinclair oil stock Is under Investigation by tbe senate oil committee. Such a report was submitted by a special Investigator and was laid be fore tbe committee In executive ses son. A check up of brokers' "books to establsh whether it is true Is In progress. Senator Wheeler, democrat, Mon tana, author of the resolution pro posing an Investigation of Mr. Daugli erty'a administration said today that be understood Information indicating tbat tbe attorney-general bad dealt in Sinclair stock bad been laid be fore tbo prealdent. What attitude President Coolldge may hsve taken toward the report that a member of bis official family dealt In oil stocks remains a mystery. Those who have discussed with bim refuse to make any statement of his opinions or bis Intentions and White House officials likewise decline to comment. In some other administration quar ters, however, It is known to be tbe view that no Inherent wrong can be established from the mere fact of a stork investment by public officials as there Is no proof that confidential Information was tbe basis for the purchase. Should a public accusa tion be made, the difficulties are ex pected to follow these lines. Officials who take this attitude following the reasons of Senato Elk Ins, republican, Wost Virginia, wbo said yesterday that although he bad bought and sold stock he was con scious of no wrong doing. His trad ing, he said, bad been on the same basis as tbat of men engaged In all branches of Industry, who depend on fortunate Investment to preserve and ncrease their capital. Nevertheless many republican sen ators are convinced that the public will not accept such an explanation. "Information came to mi through a special Investigator," said SeuMor Wheeler, "indicating that Mr. naugn erty had dvalt In Sinclair cil stocks, and I understood that theae facts were laid before the premder.t." It now can be disclosed tbat this Information formwl tbe subject mat ter of last Sunday's conference be tween Chairman Lenront and Sen ators Wheeler and WaHh. democrats Montana, and Atlee Potnoreii.i, a special government counsel In the til case. What Mr. Coolldge replied Is not revealed. Both Mr. Lodge and Mr. PeDDer declined toddy to discuss even the purpose of their long conference with the president, and White House officials remain silent.

Qulnn, commander of the American Legion, said he knew nothing about any activities of corporations "kAown as tbe Mel- on Interests," engaging In a campaign against the soldier's bonus. Mr. Mellon added that he had not contributed a penny 4 to any such activity. Mr. Qulnu, although declar- Ing "I suppose technically. Mr. Mellon has ended his connec- tlon with all private enterprla- es." asserted all "business as- soclates of the secretary" had coerced employes to oppose tho bonus, and that through these channels, tbe "Mellon fortune Is being used In part" to promote a paid propaganda against the compensation proposals.

The circuit court today heard testi mony Ih the case of Anna Schoen against J. L. Shambrook, an action for damages growing out of an automobile wreck near Eugene last October. The caso of Thomas JackBon agalnet M. M. Wakefield and F. C. Powell, was dis missed upon the motion of the plain tiff, when witnesses failed to make an appearance thla morning. The Jury In the Arthur S. Mode gateway road case upheld the amount of damages allowed by the county court, finding that the property upon which an appeal was taken, was damaged only In the ex tent of $100. The case tried today attracted con siderable Interest, and Is tbe result of a collision which occurred near Eu gene on October 15. Mr. Shambrook's car was driven by M. L. Butler, and wa soccupled by Mr. Shambrook, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. St. John and Mr. St. John's mother. Tbe car belonging to Mra. Schoen was traveling south and was occupied by Karl Schoen, can of the plaintiff. Irwin T. Clark, and M. Parks. Three young men. Mrs. Schoen claims that Sham brook's car was being driven at i. reckless rate of speed, and that the driver attempted to pass a horse drawn vehicle, and in doing so pulled over on the wrong aide of the road, where Shambrook's machine collided with the Schoen car, causing damage amounting to (COO. Shambrook, on the other band claims that the Schoen car was being driven at a very fast rate and tbat the three young men were crowded Into the front seat so that the driver was crowded and unable to operate the ma chine properly. Schoen failed to dim bis lights. Shambrook said, and con sequently Butler, wbo was driving did not eee the horse and buggy until he was almost upon It. Ho did not at tempt to pass the buggy but jammed on the brakes, canning the car to skid to the left side ot the road. If the driver of the Schoen car bad dimmed bis lights as required by law, tbe ac cident would not have occurred. It Is Claimed. Both sides claimed that their cars were operated with dimmed lights, and both denied charges of speeding or reckless driving. Attorney Lom bard of Eugene, appeared for the plaintiff and Carl Wimberly of Rose burg for the defendant. Tomorrow being a non judicial day there will be no cases heard.

The burning to death of two sis ters last year to atone for a "blas phemy" . against the "holy ghost" when be waa 12 years old. and mur der of hla mother and father Tues day night as a sacrificial penance tor tne killing of bis sisters, con fessed by Frank McDowell, It. and his weird tale of "hazy spells" and hallucinations during which he be lieved bis family aligned with "the anti-Christ" stood forth today as re- ' lated details of one of the most grue some murders In the history of south- am crime. McDowell, held at Clearwater to await trial on charge of murdering bis parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. At. Mc Dowell, wbo were shot through the head while they slept Tuesday n'ght, talked readily. Confessing to the shooting of his parents, McDowell further revealed he had started the fire In which his sisters locked in their bedroom, perished on Febru ary 1J. 1923, in the McDowell home, then in Decatur, Georgia. ' The origin of the fire htd remain ed a mystery nntll cleared up by Mc Dowell's confession yesterday. When he waa 12 years old, Mc Dowell told officers, he blasphemed the "Holy Ghost." This occurred oa February 19. and every year, as the date approached, his mind, bs said, became "hazy" and he believed his family aligned with "the antl-Chrlst". These hallucinations occurred anuu ally, he said, until last year he felt Impelled to kill his sisters as atone ment for his blasphemous sin. Mc Dowell, when asked what this sin was, refused to answer. After bis sisters bad perished In flames, McDowell aald, hla mind again became clear and he realized the seriousness of his crime, but did not reveal to anyone what be bad done. On last Tuesday, Feb. 19, the an niversary of hla "sin" he felt that he mujt kill his parents as a sacri fice as penance for the murder of his sisters, he said. On Tuesday night, McDowell told officers, he went Into the bedroom adjoining that in which his father and mother slept, without thought ot violence. He dreamed that be was commanded by voices to kill bis father and mother. So vivid and reallstle was the dream, be said, that he awoke, went Into the adjoining room and fired five shots at bis mother and father. .DECATUR, Ga., Feb. 21.

Young Mc Dowell, according to relatives and neighbors, bsd been regarded as "queer" snd an infidel. He waa a close student of the works of Robert U. Ingersoll. Whl'e regarded as peculiar young - McDowell Is said to have made an en viable record In the schools he at tended. He attended tbe Brother High School, the Commercial High School In Atlanta, and Emery Uni versity as a freshman. He then went to Washington, D. C. where he at tended school. After working a while In the congressional library, he returned to Decatur, where he as sisted his father In the publication of the DeKalb New Era, a weekly newspaper. !
