G. OF C. INQUIRIES
MAKE SEGY. TEAR
Business life is one vexatious thing
after another at the Med ford Chamber
of Commerce offices, often mixed with
unconscious humor, and this latter
fact enables the secretary and his
assistant to retain their patience and
good feeling towards the world.
Secretary Frohbach was called to
the telephone Saturduy from a local
phone and asked If there were fish In
Crater lake. He replied that there
wore and that tho catching of them In
limited number was permitted. The
Inquirer expressed surprise and said
he had thought there wero none, as
the water was too blue,
i Brushing his lock of hair the one
on the left side back from his eyes,
8ocretary Frohbach told that the blue
ing waB harmless and that It was only
put In early In the season. He might
have continued that Alex Sparrow was
an expert In this coloring of the lake
during Ills regime and often mndo
some very charming combinations, but
that his successor, Col. Thomson while
doing well in this regard was not so
experienced at It.

contained a letter which for oddity

Scott, a rcaleslate dealer of Anaheim,
Calif., and read as follows:

"Uelng Interested I would like to
know If this Is an established fact. If
It is I will be very much interested
and will shortly arrive up there and
make a thorough Investigation, havi-ig

therewith."
Mr. Scott's first wrong Information
probably came from a person who had
heard that a petrified forest exiutB

"The whole matter still is in the
hands of our committee," he said,
"and no formal report of any sort has
been had from It. Further, there has
not boon the slightest evidence of cor
ruption on the part of Mr. Denny, or
In fact any evidence that he has had
t any knowledge of any Illegal action.
The whole basis for this resolution is
that he misinterpreted a law which we
ourselves enacted."
Couzent Opposes Action
Senator Couzena, republican, Michi
gan, also opposed the resolution on the
ground that? the reasonable doubt cx-
' Istod as to whothor Secretary Denby
did not have full authority for tho
leases,
The Michlgnn senator snld ho con
sidered It even "Improper for the tlmo
of tho senute to be takon up with this
resolution."
Senutor Couzens reviewed Mr. Ten
by's war record and urged that the
resolution be not voted until the bcc
danger to our common country. It
would, be an inspiration to see men
and women In private life. and parti
sans of all parties in public life united
as they were In the great war in a com
mon effort to destroy corruption and
to bring the government back to hon

"I should like to supplement my let

. reasons that prevailed upon me to ac

Reasons Are Given
"Article 27 of tho Mexican constitu
tion of May 4th, 1917, was an attempt
to assert ownership by the Mexican
government In the mineral depsoits of
tho sub-surface of lands In Mexico. If
this article should be given retroactive
effect it would result in the confisca
tion of property of American citizens.
This presented a grave situation for
American property rights In Mexico

Ambassador Fletcher at Mexico City
filed solemn protest against It. This

clal problems but In promoting closer
nnd better relations between the
United States and all of these repub
lics. Doheny In Strong Position
"Mr. IX'heny's companies, as well as
Mr. Doheny, enjoyed an enviable renu
tatlon when he called on me In 1919.
Ilia companies were the outstanding
Independent oil companies, furnishing
the required supply of Moxcan fuel oil
to our Industries along the Atlantic
seaboard. They were also the only
strong companies offering competition
with tho so-called 'oil trust' in the
United States. For tho purpose of en
couraging competition nnd securing
the esentlal supplies of fuel oil for our
Industries along tho Atlantic seaboard
It was highly desirable to protect by
every legitimate nnd proper menus, the
oil benrlug properties of Americans In
Mexico.
"When Mr. Doheny therefore asked
my firm to act for him professionally
In tiylng to prevent the confiscation of
his valuable petroleum properties in
Mexico, representing several hundred
million dollars it appealed to mo be
cause of my general knowledge of the
oil Industry and the Latin-American
relations gained In the manner 1 have
meiit'.oneti.
"I believed that an opportunity was
presented to render a genuine service,
outside of my professional work in
promoting Latin-American commerce
and morepnrticularly In contributing
to the protection of all Amerlcap
rights In Mexico If retroactive and con
fiscatory effect to article 27 of the
Mexican constitution could be pre
vented. ..
"Tula, with my loiter of February 7
I9-I, gives the history of my profes
sional connection with the Doheny
companies. The service I have render
ed to them was in good faith and In
full satisfaction for the fees that have
been paid. I owe them nothing and
they owe me nothing."
' Quit Doheny February 2
Mr. McAdoo declared he had severed
his professional relations with Doheny
on February 2, the day after the oil
magnate last appeared before the com
mittee. In aceptlng a retainer fee as counsel
for Dohney after he left the cabinet
and in the course of a long cross ex
amination Mr. McAdoo repeated forci
bly over and over his assertions that
the attack made on him had been
purely political.
"I conceive that the matter Is whol
ly Irrelevant to the subject matter of
your Inquiry," he said In conclusion,
"Hut I have been willing to come here
and give these facts for such use and
for such value as they may have In
the pursuit of your Investigation."
Whenhe appeared in the commit
tee room, accompanied by David Rock
well of Ohio, manager of his campaign
for the democratic presidential nom
Inatlon, the former treasury secretary
was greeted with a burst of applause
which continued for a minute or more.
He smiled and bowed as he made his
way to a seat to await the call of the
committee.
Many members of the senate and
house mingled with the crowd.
"You will be sworn as all witnesses
are," Chairman Lenroot snld after he
had called Mr. McAdoo to the stand.
"Do you desire to make a statement
to the committee?'" asked the chair
man after the oath had been adminis
tered. Seating himself under a battery of
cameras, Mr, .McAdoo adjusted his
glasses and replied by reading his pre
pared statement.
Questioned by Senator Walsh, demo
crat, Montana, Mr. McAdoo said he
resigned as secretary of the treasury
on December 10, 1918, nnd gave up the
post of director general of the rail
ways on January 11, 1919.
Joined Doheny Nov.30, 1919
After a three months' rest in Califor
nia he entered the law firm of Cotton
and Franklin In accordance with an
agreement previously made.
"When did you begin service with
Mr. Doheny?" asked Senator Walsh.
"November 30, 1919," was the reply.
Asked if there was any arrangement
while he was in the cabinet to enter
the service of Mr. Doheny, Mr. McAdoo i
replied in the negative, adding that he
had not entered his service until after
he had resigned from office.
Democrat Started Prolie
Senator Dill, democrat, Washington
then wanted to know if Doheny then
delivered the $100,000 rotainer foe to
Mr. McAdoo's New' York firm In
"a satchel."
"Me did not. replied Mr. McAdoo.
"It camo to m In the form of a
check."
Chairman Lenroot said ho wished to
oxplain "outside of the record," that
the questions which had been put to
Mr. Doheny and which resulted in the
disclosure of Mr. McAdoo's employ
ment as counsel had been at the re
quest of Senator Iteed, democrat,
Missouri.
"It was in these questions that your
name was brought out as one of the
counsel," Chairman I.enroot said.
"Do you think this committee would
have been justified in refusing the re
quest of Senator Keetl?" ,
"No, sir," replied Mr. McAdoo. "I
am glad you brought it out. I hope
the committee will continue Its lnves
tigations and bring out all the facts.
I think the matter of my employment
is absolutely and wholly Irrelevant to
this Inquiry as It is not concerned
with It, but nevertheless I am perfect
ly willing to have the committee In
quire into it. If it will aid the com
mittee in unearthing the people who
have been guilty of wrongdoing I am
glad to have It brought out."
Asked "what service," he had per
formed as counsel for Doheny, he
said:
"special counsel, acting In an ad
visory capacity on such matters as
were presented to me from time to
time." '
