Washington, D. c. May 4.-On Mon ady next the nomination of H. l..

 When Remmel's nomination was sent to the senate several weeks ago the charge was preferred against him that he had violated section 17G5 of the revised statutes prohibiting the pooling of salaries. It was charged that as internal revenue collector Remmel had pooled his salary with brother officer.
 Senator Foraker, chairman of the committee to whom Remmels nomi- nation was referred, stated today that he had investigated the charges and found them to be groundless. Hence the committee will report favorably on Remmel's nomination next Mon day
