WAsHINaroN July CT is stated tonight that the
resignation of Appointment Clerk Higgins will shortly
be called for The basis for this statement seems to DO
the fact that Mr. Higgins was sent for by the freoeh'
TODAY and that after spending about halt On hour at
the White House, he seen to 60 away apparently
much subdued in manner There has been an impress
sion abroad for some time that Secretary Manning had
come to recognize the of Mr. Higgins In the
Treasury Department too great load for the Ad-
ministration to carry. Due Difference however, 10
Senator German. Mr.. Hgginss backer, seemed 10 DC

other hand, Mr. Manning did not wish to discharge
Mr. Higgins without cause lie is in the.Departmeht

himself attends his business and there are no com
plants made about him. he shall remain. secretly.

opportunity to arise which would justify Mr.

from the Administration every southern democrat
solution the difficulty, II is limited, may be found
in the transfer of Higgins to other Held OF useIu
ness. Between this and outright dismissal, MI Man
ming il believed to hesitate now. The most curious
phase of this whole business IL the evident desire OF e
Administration to find some scapegoat on whom to
