The removal OF Judge Vincent the Chief Justice OF tho

much comment in official circles. The charges

The President in the meantime is said to highly
indignant frame OF mind not only the appar.
want OF good faith ON the part OF Mr. springer but
of the repuci association OF the Attorney General In
these questionable transactions and the END lsnot yet
The corresr ondent OF The Chcago Inter- OCEAN sent
dispatch TO that newspaper tonight in which he said:
There are indications that Attorney General Garland
will not long remain member of the Cabinet While he
has not esgned and has not been requested 10 do o hs

that Mr.. Garland vas Influenced 10y corrupt motives In
the telephone suits about which much has recently
been said but neither he solicitor General GoOIe
relisned the In which the President punished them
before the public with fools caps their heads be-
made sport OF. Mr. Garland has uttered no comploint:
but II ia known that he feels bis humiliation keeny and

friction and Mr. Garands position Is at present not a
very pleasant one.
