Mellon Writes Letter to Pres
ident Answering "Once
and For All"? Charges of
" Brewer
TELLS HOW PAPER USED
' WAS CHECKED IN BUREAU
'flreasury's Record Invites
-Fullest Inspection," Is
; Word of Secretary
! WASHINGTON, j Feb. 14.
Charges brought jby Charles B.
Brewer, department of Justice at
torney of bond duplication in the
bureau of engraving j were an
swered "once andj. for lall" today
by Secretary Mellon, who in a let
ter to the president asserted the
accusations, were unfounded and
the integrity, of the public debt
undisturbed.:' The letter to the
chief executive was "a clear state
ment of facts ant) the secretary
said that public uneasiness may be
dissipated. , L I I
In making public the letter to
Mi, Coolidge, the treasury secre
tary also announced that Major
.Wallace with Kirby of the army
engineer corps would take charge
as acting director of the bureau
Immediately relieving Louis A.
Hill, the director , named when
President Harding, ousted -Jame?
L. Wilmeth and 27 other officials
of the plant in 1922 j Hill's ses
ignation was tendered some weeks
ago, upon announcement by the
treasury of a decision to restore
the ousted employes' to their
places but acceptance was with
held until his successor could be
selected.. - a
Statement Published
,-, .la making known the selection
J of the new acting director, Mr.
) Mellon made public a statement
by . the president which explained
! that Major Kirby ( would retain
i his commission In the army and
; that when the bureau ia "put once
!. more In good working order, a
I permanent director will be ap
t pointed." - !
Mr. Mellon's letter to the pres
, ldent dealing with conditions in
5 the bureau' related to; details of
: the Investigation conducted by the
i treasury In running down each
I charge presented by Mr. Brewer.
Most of these the secretary Baid
I concerned affairs of the bureau
under previous administrations
,v and related to the gf eat war time
ff issues of federal securities. But
the treasury agents went back to
check over these also, Mr. Mellon
' said and added that the treasury's
- record of guarding against fraud
t in the handling of the securities
invites the fullest Inspection.
Tho charges, in -Mr. Mellon's
opinion were based largely on
"misinformation .and misunder-
standing" and the secretary de-
clared emphatically there was no
evidence at any time to substan-
tiate the charges ol fraudulent is
sue of federal bonds. ;
f u Answer Held Final
Mr. Mellon said the Brewer
charges in fact, related principal
ly to the temporary issues of se
curities, nearly all ,of which were
ft exchanged into permanent bonds
: as rapidly as conditions icrmit
' ted. That exchange in. the sec-
retaryfs opinion provided a good
" checkiTupon the integrity of the
i Issue of the temporary bonds and
? it "furnishes a" conclusive answer

Thero aro now only abourthirty
seven million dollars in tempor
ary bonds still outstanding out
of a total of .more than fifteen
' billions issued, the secretary as
i serted. , . ...:"'."
"In other words," the letter
said, "thd liberty bonds now in
the hands of the house arc prac
tically all permanent bonds which
are not in any way affected by the
charges, so that there Is no occa
sion for any public uneasiness in
this regard." !

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Out
of another clay of lightning de
velopments in the oil scandal there
emerged tonight a definite deter
mipation by the. investigating com
mlttee to go to the bottom of rum
or that a $1,000,000 oil slush fund
had been deposited in Washington
for distribution among men in
high places.
Edward B. McLean, publisher
of the Washington Post, was sum
moned for questioning regarding
the slush fund report, and com
mittee members said Otto H. Kahn
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and Benja
min F. Yoakum, retired president
of a western railroad, would be
called later.
Information representing the
committee was that the story had
been a subject of discussion among
New York financiers, and that
some of its details had been
brought to Washington by Mr.
Yoakum after he bad talked to
Mr. Kahn.
Strawn Withdrawn
The oil committee continued to
hold out tonight against approval
of Silas H. Strawn and Atlee Pom
erene as government counsel in
the oil cases and after being ad
vised of this President Coolidge
withdrew the name of Mr. Strawn.
He took the - position, however,
that no conclusive evidence of Mr.
Pomerene's ineligibility had been
produced.
Throughout the day's hearings
Frank A. Vanderlip, the New York
banker, waited in vain in the
hearing room to be called to the
witness stand for questioning re
garding his recent references to
the sale of President Harding's
Marion Star. He and other wit
nesses on the same subject will be
heard tomorrow. .
The testimony given during the
long session related largely to the
methods by. which former interior
secretary Fall put into operation
his leasing policy and provided the
investigators with several nowen
sations. John C. Shaffer, publisher of the
Chicago Post and several other
newspapers, testified that Fall told
him in tho same month he entered
the cabinet that, he would lease
Teapot' Dome to Harry F. Sin
clair. He himself, Mr. Shaffer said, got
a one-eighth share in the $1,000,
000 Sinclair paid the Pioneer Oil
company Tn connection with the
Teapot deal and through an ad
vance agreement, with Fall was
promised in addition 200 acres in
Teapot Dome.
Negotiations Private
E. C. Finney, assistant secretary
of the interior, testified that the
Fall leases were negotiated pri
vately, and that not even the de
partment's own solicitor was asked
for an opinion as to their legality.

Governor Asks Presidential
Support of McNary
Haiigen Measure
Governor Pierce yesterday sent
a lengthy telegram to President
Coolidge, requesting that the presi
dent lend hl3 support to the Mc-
Nary-Haugen bill for the relief of
American farmers. The governor
urges the president to use the
power of his office to lighten the
tax and cost burden of the farmer,
and avers that remedies suggested
by the president In his Lincoln day
address fail to reach the root of
the present difficulty.
Pertinent Facts Cited
' "I have read with deep Interest
press reports of your Lincoln day
speech and particularly that por
tion respecting agriculture," said
the governor. ''I have for more
than a third of a century been in
the active business of raising
wheat. Based on that experience
and the knowledge of farming con
ditions today, I am taking the lib
erty of calling your attention to
pertinent facts relative to the ag
ricultural situation which I fear
have been overlooked. It is not
more credit that the producers
need. It is not a change to di
versified crops alone. Nor is It
withiu the power of the producers
to work out their own salvation as
has been suggested. These plans
fail io reach the root of the prob
lem. The producers need above
everything else a reasonable price
for their products.
Cost Exceeds Receipts
"Today prices in most cases are
far below the actual cost of pro
duction. For everything the farm
er produces he has to pay exorbit
ant prices owing to high tariff and
transportation charges. On the
other hand, the prices of articles
he has to sell are depressed by
reason of a surplus that must find
a foreign market. In other words,
the farmer is buying under a pro
tective tariff and is compelled to
sell on a free trade basis. By his
purchases in the protected home
market the farmer has made in
dustry prosperous, but by sale of
his. own products at a price fixed
by world markets, many of which
are now closed to him, the farmer
Is reduced to near ruin. Tho eco
nomic structure can no more be
maintained half prosperous and
half depressed than a nation can
live half free and half slave.
Should Cut Tariff
"As governor or one of the great
economic commonwealths of this
union. I petition you to use the
power of your high office for the
reduction of taxes on consumers
hy reducing the tariff on articles
of common consumption and for
the reduction of freight rates to a
point such that the farmer can
dispose of products at a profit.
"On behalf of- tho producers of
America's bread, I petition you
earnestly to support the McNary
Haugcn bill which permits the
growers of wheat to sell their sur
plus in foreign markets at what
ever price can there be obtained
the losses to be sustained by the
wheat producers themselves. We
ask the authority of the law for
that which is done today by large
manufacturing concerns through
out the United States. Direct and
effective action on your part as
the nation's chief executive tor the
McNary-Haugcn bill wilf I believe
go far toward sa ving a situation
which if allowed to drift will sure
ly lead to the serious injury of the
country's entire economic etruc-

overflowing. Before this can be
accomplished trees must be cut,
he said, and roots blasted. The

must first be cleared in order io

P. M. Gregory The need-of a"
good camp ground is proved by
