WASHINGTON. Feb. 25. Edward
B; McLean, publisher of the Wash

$10,000 In the federal American- Na

during that period he gave Albert B.
Fall checks aggregating $100,000 on
the Federal American and the Com
nierinl National bank of Washington,
but that the checks were returned to
him unused.
James II. Baden, vice-president of
the Commercial National produced
records showing tbat McLean's bal
ance in that bank was $58,438 on No
vember 1, 1921, and that this was re
duced by checks to less than $10,-
000 by the middle .. of December.
Baden said his bank would have hon
ored an overdraft by McLean but ho
could not recall tbat the Washington
publisher ever had overdrawn his ac
count. He was excused and " C. Basconi
Slemp, secretary to tho - president,
went on the stand.
Mr., Slemp said he went to Palm
Beach, Fla., December 22 and return
ed January 16. Mr. McLean and A.
B. Fall, were in Palm Beach at the
time.
"I was in Palm Beach for firty per

"and toured Florida for the rest of
the time. I met Mr. ' McLean caB

"It's tiulte likely you could tell the
committee about what yqu talked
with Mr. McLean and Secretary
Fall?" asked Chairman Lenroot.
"I will say there was no private or
conflilentlal talk between us," replied
VIr.. Slemp. "I wasn't intimate with
either man. Mr. Fall looked ill, it
seemed and it seemed tho desire of his
associates to avoid the subject.
"I met the two men at dinner or
lunch. It was possible I met Secre

White House Announcement
Regarding Attorney General
Expected Near Future
May Resign, Same to Be Ef
fective Month or Two.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. Director
Bain of the bureau of mines told the
oil committee today that Secretary
Fall informed him the plan to build
storage tanks at Pearl Harbor, in re
turn for royalty oil, was discussed at
a cabinet meeting and that Attorney
General Daughorty "raised no objec
tion to it."
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. Some
definite pronouncement from adminis
tration quarters regarding the contro
versy over Attorney General Daugher
ty was forecast today as the senate
assembled to consider the resolution
for a sweeping Inquiry into Mr. Daugh
erty's administration of the depart
ment of justice. i
President Coolldge was represented
by those in his confidence as still with
out a definite decision regarding the
demands for the attorney general'H
resignation. An adjustment of the sit
uation without groat delay, however,
was said to be believed by the presi
dent to be possible.
The executive is continuing to toko
counsel from republican leaders In and
out of congress. Lnst night he had an
other conference with Senator Borah,
republican, Idaho, who In the senate
last week openly urged the resignation
of Mr. Daugherty as a personal sacri
fice In the public Interest. Senator
Borah declined today to discuss his
conference with the president beyond
indicating - it referred again to Mr.
Daugherty. . i ," . .
In other quarters it,, was said the
president might work out some solu
tion which would not make a sacri
fice of Mr. Daugliorty, and yet would
meet tho situation which some of his
party leaders say required substitution
of an attorney general who would
meet with a greater Bhare of public
confidence.
Among measures reported under
consideration was a suggestion that
Mr. Daugherty might present his res
ignation effective a month or two in
the future, and meantime present his
case before the proposed senate inves
tigating committee. This would allow
him to answer all charges prior to his
leaving the cabinet and some republi
can leaders believe, relieve him of re
tiring "under fire."
