Washington, March, 27.-(By A. P.)
-Al Jennings, once a famous train
robber and now a California real es-
tate dealer, related today before the
oil committee one of the most unusual
tales congressional investigators had
ever heard.
It recalled a million dollar payment
which he charged figured in the repub-1

in 1920. He said his only information,
had come from the late Jake Hamon

Library Book Exhibit Shows
Early Progress In Printing
Fifteenth century books which show
the progress and evolution of early
printing have been placed on display
at the William L. Clement's library.
All of the volumes are printed in La-
tin and represent the work of presses
in many medieval centers of learning,
as Cologne, Leipsig, Venice, Florence
and Milan. The books shown have
been selected from different printers
so that the varying types of works
produced by the greatest men in thel
profession at that time can be in-
spected.
One of the earliest volumes in the
collection is one printed by Johann
Mentelin at Strasburg in 1471. Mente-
line was a notary and writer in gold,
and is mentioned with Gutenberg and
Fust, two other German printers, as
printing 330 sheets a day as early as
' E E TA O B g i D E T R O IT C
1458. His work remained anonymous
until 1473. Bibles and the works of
the Fathers on theological questions
made up most of his productions,
which numbered about 35 titles.
An example of Florentine printing
of 1471 is also included in the exhibit
but though printing was introduced
this early in Florence it did not be-
come popular until some years later,
because the people of that city pre-
ferred more finely written manu-
scripts. Besides the works on theolo-
gical and religious subjects in the dis-
play there are works on history and
science and one or two of Latin
poetry. One of the books shown is
also particularly interesting because
it is from the library of Peter Martyr
d'Anghiera, a man who wrote one of
the first geographies mentioning
America.
Washington, D. C., March 27.-(By
A. P.)-Renewing their program of
day and night 'sessions, the senate
finance . committee today tactfully
cleared up the many administrative
problems of the revenue bill, The
schedules of excise and miscellaneous
taxes which were revised by the house
are to be taken up immediately.-
Democratic members of the commit-
tee spent another afternoon in another
unsccessful effort to reach an agree-
ment on the income tax schedule
which they will offer as a substitute
for the Mellon rates, voted into the
bill by the finance committee,,
The surtax rates proved the stumbl-
ing block. Senator Simmons of N.
C., ranking democrat on the commit-
tee, presented amschedule, it is under-
stood, followed the general line of the
Gardner plan supported by house de-
mocrats with a revision of brackets
and a reduction of the minimum rates
to about 40 per cent.

the committe heard army and navy
officers on the soldier bonus bill
passed by the house with a view to
determining the number of veterans
who would be eligible to the insurance
provision and the average length of

be able to show the figures needed.

IS HEAD OF OBSERVATORY
AT SWEDISH UNIVERSITY!
Prof. C. V. L. Charlier, director of
the observatory at Lund University,
Sweden. arived late last night in Ann

mathematical statistics and astron-
omy. The first lecture which is on
"Statistics and Natural Philosophy"

He was born in Ostersund, Sweden
in 1862. After studying and teaching
at the University of Upsala, he became
profe'sor and director of the obser-
vatory at Lund University in 1897.
He is the founder of the "Proceedings
of the Lund Astronomical Observa-
tory," to which he has been the chief
contributor. Upon the completion of
the fifth volume in 1922, and in honor
of hlis sixtieth birthday, students and.
fellow contributors voiced their desire.
to dedicate this:.volume to Professor
Charlie:' as an evidence of their. great
debt of gratitude to him aind in appre-
ciatioii of the value: f his. teaching
and his scientific work.
A wide knowledge of mathematical
statistics has been the reason for the 1
-O-Oat following which has been shown
in Professor Charlier's work. The
work in ma.thematical statistics has
connected itself up with many dit-
fernt branches of science.
He has been chiefly interested in
the application of mathematical stat-I
istics to astronomy, and in the de-
velopment of pure theory. Theories
which he has developed are now being
applied in economics, biology, edu-
cation, physics and other sciences I
where statistical measurements are
made. -
Professor Charlier in a letter accept-
ing the joint invitation of the depart-
ments of mathematics and astronomy,
stated that his lectures will not be
highly technical but will attempt to
bring out the underlying and funda-
mental ideas in mathematical statis-
tics and their application. Students i
and members of the faculty are invt- I
ed to attend these lectures.

jbe given in his honor by the Math-'
ematical club at 6:15 o'clock tonight
at the Union. Later in the evening he
will be entertained at a smoker at1

In a Chicago hotel room during
the convention, the witness said, Ha-
mon told him that examination ac-
cording would cost him one million
dollars; that he, Hamon, had put
up $250,000 and this sum to the latef
Senator Penrose, of Penn; $25,000
to Harry M. Daugherty; $25,000 to
Will Hays, the chairman of 'the re-
publican national comnmittee and an-
other $25,000 to a fourth man from
Ohio named Manning, or somethingE
similar.
Besides, he quoted Hamon as say-
ing. "Money was 'used indiscrimin-
ately with, the Oklahoma delegation."
Jennings said he did not recall that
he had been told of any other payment
of money.
It also was a part of the story that
Daugherty, IHays and others had re-
ceived to make Hanlon Secretary
of Interior. That Hamon was to take
over what the denocratic administra-
tion had left to the public lands; and
that Hamon "expected to make a great
deal of money of them, and. then'-get
himself elected as the next president.
