that thoy fully understood the embar

consultation between the president
nnd Mr. Denby in which nil of the
latest aspects of the situation wero
talked over In the llpht of information
passed on to the White House by re
publican leaders in the senate.
Despite Mr. Denby's repeated
declarations that ho had no Intention
of retiring it has been manifest that
some of those In a position to know
the administration's position havo ex
pected him to leave the cabinet co
incident with the filing; of the govern

Not only Is he a party to the oil
leases, having affixed his islKualitre
alonu with that of Albert 11. Kali, but
ho repeatedly has defended his part
In the proceeding and has declared
publicly since the present controversy
arose that he believed the contracts
legal and would be willing to pursue
the same course again.
It has been pointed out to the presi
dent that It might appear Inconsis
tent to have a member of the admin
istration holding theso views remain

self, through Its counsel, was moving
In the courts to annul tho leases on ,

the senato completes confirmation of

For the same reason, there have
been reports that Theodore ltoosevelt
also would retire as assistant secre
tary under Mr. Denby.
Mr. Koosevelt also had a part In the
framing of the oil leases.
DnuglK't-ly May Quit.
The retirement of Mr. Denby also
revived rumors that the resignation
of Attorney General Daugherty would

follow wllhln a few days. A resolu
tion relating to him and somewhat
similar to that adopted tone days ago,
asking for the resignation of Mr.
Denny, is pending in the senate and its
sponsors are pressing for quick action
on it.
The resolution in which the presi

First Break In Cabinet
The secretary's retirement makes .
the first break In the official family !
Mr. Coolidge took over if tact from
tho Harding administration. Mr.
Denby was one of the original mem-
bers of Mr. Harding's cabinet, having.
taken office on March 4, 1921. j
His selection brought to that de-
partment for the first time in many
years a man who knew by personal
experience the viewpoint of enlisted
men both in the nuvy and in the
marine corps.
He had served as gunner's maty
aboard the converted cruiser Yose
inlte during the war with Spain nnd
through all ranks and grades from
private to major In the marine corps
during the World war.

upon Assistant Secretary ltoosevelt.
Mr. Denby was born In Evansvtlle,

the public schools of that city. His
alma mater, however, is the Univer
