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 lican national convention at Chicago in 1920. He said his only information, had come from the late Jake Hamon who at the time was the republican national committeeman from Okla- 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.

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.

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.
