, WASHINGTON, March 17. Attor
ney General Daugherty Is being kept
In office by President Coolidgo solely
because of Mr. Daugherty's "supposed
political Influence." In the forthcoming
campaign Senator Caraway, democrat,
Arkansas, today charged In the senate.
"Everyone knows there would be a
quick change of attorney generals If
Mr. Coolidge were not a candidate for
re-election," the Arkansas senator
said. "I am not criticizing the presi
dent in this connection, but it is cer
tain he doesn't dare to let Daugherty
go simply and only because of political
reasons."
. WASHINGTON, March 17 Secre
tary Hughes, mentioned by two wit
nesses before the Daugherty commit
tee as having witnessed the showing
of the Demjisey-Carpontior fight films
at the home of E. D. McLean. issued a
formal statement today to say he had
no discussion or conference regard
ing the films with anyone."
The statement follows:
"The statement that. I had any dis
cussion or conference,, with Muma or
anybody else at any time' either at
Mr. McLean's house or - elsewhere
with regard to the fight films is abso
lutely false. There is not a word of
truth In It." ..; ..,
' WASHINGTON, March 17. A story
alleging that Attorney General Daugh
erty was personally concerned In an
unlawful conspiracy to exhibit the
DempBey -Car pen tier fight films and
had suggested that those behind the
scheme should get a fifty per cent
"cut". in the profits was related today
to the senate committee investigating
the department of justice.
Gerald O. Holdrldge, a former secret
service agent of the department told
the story as he said It had been related
to him by Jap Muma, New York cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Enquir
er, and one of those named as backers
of the distribution plan
V Ho'drldge read to tho committee un
der oath, a long statement regarding
his conversations with Muma and at
the end of the statement, there was an
endorsement by ThomaB Spellacy, an
other former department agent, Baying
the "assertions made were absolutely
true." '
Spellacy, Holdrldge said, was pre3-j
ent when he talked with Muma.
After he had heard Mtiraa's story
Holdrldge' went on. he came to Wash
ington and related it to William J.
Burns, head of the department's bu
reau of Investigation. Instead of or
dering any prosecutions, however, he
said. Burns transferred him to a long
pending bank case. Some time after
ward, he said, he quit the government
service "in disgust."
According to Muma, as quoted by
Holdrldge, the plan to show the pic
tures over the country despite the fed
eral law against their transportation
k across state lines, followed a private
exhibition at the home here of Edward
B. McLean, attended by Presideul
Harding and members of the cabinet.
; At the conclusion of the showing nt
the, McLean house, Holdrldge said,
Muma had a talk with Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty and the president, and
later Secretary Hughes, Secretary
Christian and Harry S. New, theu 6
senator, and now postmaster general,
joined In the discussion. '

This Morning Cloud Bank
Blocks Start Expect to
Reach Sacramento This
Afternoon Fourth Cruiser
Delays Start.
CLOVER FIELD, SANTA MONICA,
Cel., March 17. (By the Associated
Press) The army flight around tho
world started today at 9:33 a. m.
The world cruisers circled around
Clover field for altitude as a large
crowd waved farewell. They flew In
formation with Major Martin to tho
front and Lieutenants Smith and
Wade parallel to the rear.
The start of the thirty thousand
mile flight around-the-world, while
not under ideal flying conditions, was
favorable to the purposes of the flight.
a test of flying conditions In an cli
mates.
The adventurous fliers faced
problem at the start, which prompted
conference and delayed the actual
take-off for more than two, hours and
a half.
The first leg of the flight to Sac
ramento, usually open under flying
conditions, today presented a wall of
clouds hanging upon the Tehachapl
pass and apparently covering the
whole San Joaquin valley.
Major Martin asked the advice of
Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith, one of
the best known aviators on the Pa
cific coast, and pilot of the flight,
what the possibilities were. Lieuten
ant smith said that it would be best
if the planes could get under the
clouds In the valley ns hazard would
be involved In flying above the clouds
all the way.. ."If we can't break down
through tho oloud celling af Sacra-'
men to we have enough gas to got
back," he sold.-
"All right, let's go," said Major
Martin heartily and then the three
pilots nnd their three machines
climbed Into tho cockpits and tuned
up. '
"You take the lead when we reach
the pass, you know the country." Ma
jor Martin directed Lieutenant Smith.
Lieutenant Erik H. Nelson, engi
neering officer of the flight hero for
the start, flew back to'San Diego In
an army plane prepared to take off
from Rockwell field there this after
noon In the fourth world cruiser and
Join his companions In Sacramento,
prdvldlng that compass installation
In his cruiser Is completed today.
Ho declared that if delayed until
tomorrow, he will fly direct to Port
land and Join tho flight there.
The three world cruisers and seven
teen accompanying army airplanes
from Crlssy field. San Francisco, were
due to land In Sacramento about two
o'clock, it was announced by Lieu
tenant Corliss Moseley, commander of
Clover field.
The flight 'Starting today Is not a
race around the world. It is a pio
neering exploration trip, carefully
mapped out to define a practical air
way around the world and to obtain
scientific data on the effect of various
climates on modern aircraft. There
will be no spectacular dashes although
many legs of the great Journey will
be replete wlthj thrills In the variety
of climate experienced, from Arctic to
Tropic variations.
During the four or more months of
the flight the aviators will be out of
sight of land only four times. The
longest Jump will be some seven hun
dred miles and stations have been
established around the earth, with ex
perienced American army filers there.
From these stations information
will be relayed back to easier points
to provide the fliers with complete
physical -information, on terrain and
meteorology.
It will be a Journey with the sun
so arranged that the most desirable
climatic conditions in each section
may be met. The Arctic region Is ac
cessible only In the spring, therefore
It Is best suited to go thru the Aleu
tian islands across the Pacific in
April. This time will bring the fliers
into the Far Eastern llttornl In time to
clear thru Asia before the summer
typhoon soason and thru the Green
land, Iceland region before the winter
season starts. -
The flight will be up the Pacific
coast to Alaska, with an overnight
stop at Sacramento tonight, another
stop at Vancouver Barracks, Wash
ington, Tuesday, and a sojourn of
several days at Seattle .beginning
Wednesday for the purpose of chang
ing landing gear for pontoons. Thence
the cruiser will fly over British Co
lumbia to Alaska across the Aleutian
islands to the Kurlles north of Japan,
down through Japan, across Chosen
to China, ' down the Chinese coast
thru French Indo-Chlna, Burma,
India to Persia, over Mesopotamia and
Syria, over the Holy Land, thru Tur
key, over ROumanla, Serbia, Austria,
Germany, France, England,' Ireland,
and over the Orkneys and Faroe
islands to Iceland, Greenland, Labra
dor, down thru Canada and the New
I England const to Washington and
thence across the country to Clover
