N. 8. Staff Correaoondant.i Washington March 29. With two scalps Wangling frnm plrhplta those of Denby and Daugherty the senatorial tomahawkers. turned their attention today to "getting" still an other member of President Coolldge's cabinet, Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W.

Mellon, and developments as sensational as those which featured the Denby and Daugherty cases were freely predicted by those who are gunning for the treasury head. To Probe Melton's Fitness. A resolution sponsored by Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee, directing the Judiciary committee to Investigate Mellon's fitness and eligibility to hold slumbered on the table In the senate today. It will be called up on Monday and debated with all the savagery that has characterized similar debates in the hectic days of the last two months. The resolution stands a good chance of passing.

The Democrats, With few exceptions, are opposed to Mel lon and bis policies. His persistent attacks upbnlheh? taxschedules, some of which they believe to have been unjustifiable, have earned for him a fairly solid Democratic opposition. The Republican insurgents, who have denounced him the floor as the spokesman of "the vested interests" and the "tool fit Wall street are' oeOr clplea. A combination of Democratic-insurgency strength can control the senate any time it is exerted, as amply demonstrated in a score of instances. How Committee le Divided.

The judiciary-committee, which will make the investigation if the resolution passes, is fairly well divided between Mr. Mellon's friends and opponents. There are nine Republicans and seven Democrats. Among the Democrats are such opponents of Mellon's policies as Senator Reed of Missouri, Senator Caraway of Arkansas, Senator Ashurst of Arizona, Senator Stanley of Kentucky and Senator Walsh of Montana. And on the Republican side is Senator Norris of Nebraska, an insurgent and frequent critic of Mellon.

Brandagee of Connecticut is chairman. The peg upon which the Investigation is to be hung Is a statute that dates back to revolutionary times, prohibiting the secretary of the treasury from engaging in "trade and commerce." At the time of Mellon's entrance into the cabinet he was an officer and director in more than half a hundred great corporations and banks. He re signed his offices, but. his "Interests" remain, according to his opponents. Ttrey will- seeirto-ahow-that-he-haa been unable to divorce, hie private business from his government post.

In the background, too. lurks the never as yet, explained assertion of Gaston B. Means that he once investigated Secretary Mellon at the Instance of the-late President Harding and "got him." Means gave this tes timony as a witness against Daugh erty. What he "gt" on the secretary of the treasury he did not say, and the committee did not pursue the Inquiry. The Inference was, however, that it related to whisky withdrawals.

Mel lon is the cabinet officer responsible for prohibition enforcement. He and bis family were the principal stockholders of the Overbolt Distillery Company, one of the largest in the country. Republicans Alarmed, Republicans are Indignant and alarmed. They charge a well defined political plot of the Democrats to pick off members of the cabinet singly, on after another, after the manner of snipers the war. After Mellon, they assert, will come Secretary of Agriculture Wallaee, Secretary of Commerce Hooyer( and Secretary of War Weeks.

1 The Republicans charge that the Democrats are merely aiming to k-ep up a drum fire of attack and sensation that will run Into the approaching campaign, and provide ammunition tor the June-to-November battle, But having sat silent under the attacks on Denby! and Daugherty, Re. publican senators, jnahy of whom are up for re-election, hesitate now to rush in to defend Mellon. It Is not Improbable, however, that there will be a meetine: of the Republican leaden within the next week to With Exception of One Office, Both Parties Have Full Ticket The township election will be held on Tuesday, April 1.
