WASHINGTON. March I.—The senate oil committee today sought the truth about references rto "access to the White House” and other mysteries evoked in the wire correspondence of Edward B. Mc- Lean. publisher of the Washington Post relating to his Involvement in the inquiry. When the attention of White House officials was brought to this part of the correspondence, they asserted emphatically that President Coolidge knew nothing more about it than any other newspaper reader. The phrase was brought into tho messages in connection with ar rangements for the private leased wire established between the offices of the Post and McLean's cottage at Palm Beach, which was manned at Washington by E. W. Smithers, chief communication officer at the White House. One of the tele grams specifically named Francis 11. Homer. Baltimore attorney, as giv ing "easy and quick access to the White House.” Homer, Smithers and all others named in the messages who have been identified were under subpoena today and the committee hoped to learn from some of them the identity of the persons called ••Apricots,” "Apples,” "Peaches," and "Cherries” as well as the mean ing of various code words. Tho other witnesses summoned to day Included E. W. Starling of the White House secret service staff; E. S. Rochester, confidential adviser to Attorney General Daugherty; Francis 11.

Phone 238 “Pipes of Pan” Plays to Packed House Last Night At the Elks’ Auditorium It is no necessary to build a tower of words, frescoed and scuip tored with expletives, upon which to pedestal last night's entertain ment at the Elks auditorium. “The Pipes of Pan" as given under the personal direction of Miss Genevieve Fitzgerald for the benefit of the milk fund established by the Wo man's Departmental club, elicited enthusiastic response. The hall was completely filled with a gathering that was attracted there in anticipation of an excep tional display of trained talent in music and Interpretive dancing. There was evidently no disappoint ment. The high degree of hope was justified, voluntary reflection of appreciated excellence coming from the audience throughout the evening. Leading up to the supreme pro duction in the program was the pre lude hour of music. There is no telling how interminable this hour might have become had the andlence obtained the encores It re peatedly and insistently called for. There were simply no encores granted. It was not because the artists were not so inclined, but rather in fulfillment of a predeter mined desire to hold the program to its original duration. Especial credit is to be given Miss Geraldine Alrhardt to whom was ac corded the plAce of Pan. In the short space of a week Miss Alrhardt had so mastered her part os to move through the complexity of its emo tions and meet with the general ad miration of the audience. Effects of stage hangings and general lighting attracted a great deal of commendatory comment. Tom Carrigan of the De Luxe studios was responsible for the artistic showings in, these parti culars. Through the generosity of the Rialto theater the orchestral ac companiment to the pantomime was ably augmented. Both Miss SATURDAY, MARCH 1, ISZ4 Myrtle Coggle and David Foote were in the group from the Rialto or chestra.
