Baldwin Acquitted of
Smuggling Conspiracy

BALTIMORE, Md, April 29.-George
E. Baldwin. former inspector in the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
who, with HON Hen and Gee OFT, two
Baltimore Cinnamon. was charged with
conspiracy to smuggle Chinese into this
country, has been acquitted.
The trial of Baldwin and the China
men came TO an abrupt end yesterday
afternoon, when Tong Shue Wan, prin-
cipal Government witness, was on the
stand. Asserting that Tong Shue Wan
had materially changed his statement
made before the grand jury, District
Attorney Hill said that the Government
found it impossible to go on with the
case.
Judge Rose. saying the statement of
the district attorney reflected credit on
his spirit of fairness, directed the jury
to bring in a verdict In favor of the
defendants.
Tong Shue Wan was afterward held
in the sum of 5000 on the charge of
perjury. He is also known as Takashirt
Jinto and was formerly a Government
interpreter.
Baldwin. at different periods, had been
in the employ of the Government for
about eighteen years. Several years ago
he was sent to investigate the smuggling
of CnInese into this country from
Jamaica.
He and the two Cinnamon were arrest
ed last November, and were alleged to
have entered into conspiracy to
smuggle the Celestials in by way of
Jamaica.

HOW LONDON PRESS
VIEWS SUPPORT Of
ARBITRATION PLAN
Balfour and Asquith Called
"Dupes of American
Diplomacy"

LONDON, April 29.-Confiicting opin-
ions are expressed in the London
press today regarding the meeting
held In the GuildhalI yesterday for
the purpose of supporting President
Tafts arbitration proposal.
The only severe criticism of the
favorable resolution adopted at the
suggestion of Premier Asquith and
Mr.. Balfour, emanates from the Post,
which charged the two statesmen
with being "dupes of American dfplo-
macy" and asserts that the attempt
to rush the English nation headIong
into arbitration is making Britain
the laughing stock of the continent.

Hits At Executive Power.
Referring to the vast army of Gov
ernment employees. numbering 4l,SS2
persons, exclusive Of the officers and
enlisted men in the military and navy
branches of the Government, Mr.. Cul-
lop declassd that the Presidents ap-
pointive power is practically unlimited,
and too enormous to be given to any
man in a free country. He continued:
The civil service law worked we'll
for years, but has now fallen victim
to political abuse and is the Trojan
Horse for political knavery. Under 1t
262, COS persons hold office. secure from
removal, ready when their political SER
vices are required, reserve for every
political emergency. This vast army is
not immune from party service. 1t is
not idle in party campaigns. not inde-
pendent on party questions.
Freedom from politica and pernicious
activity, as it exists today, is a mock
cry and sham. Its administration is
slander on political independence and
bipartisanship. This is true from the
lowest to the highest office. 1t serves
as a mask and deserves the severest
condemnation.
The most aggravated and offensive
partisanship is in the Postoffice Depart
ment," declared Mr.. Cullop. This de-
rartment is a political machine. and

WARREN IN FAVOR
OF BUYING LAND
FOR GOVERNMENT
New Chairman of Senate
Committee Would Buy Mall
for Public Structures.

Senator Francis z. Warren, the new
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Appropriations, is in favor Of a most
liberal policy with respect to the pur-
chase by <he Government of land in the
District for the location OF public build
ings.
He declared himself for the purchase
of the property south of Pennsylvania
avenue as sites for public buildings.
II am unreservedly in favor of the
purchase OF all private property or the
Mall south of Pennsylvania avenue.
said he, ''and that means not only the
lots and buildings between the Botanic
Garden and the White Lot, but the far
western portion of the Mall property
which lies south of New York avenue.
Let us buy every inch of this real es-
tate, and. just as a business man would
do, dispose of any of II that may not
be needed eventually. BY this means the
Government would not only be able to
obtain this realty at a fair price, but
could absolutely control the class Of
buildings to be erected In the future
on such of the ground as 1t might care
to dispose Of"
Senator Warren says there must be
policy of economy, hut al the same
time progress must be made. He points
out that Washington Is place where
many Government expenditures are
made, and where often the failure Of
the Appropriations Committees to uH-
dertake certain projects at the right
time costs untold sums in the future.
He pointed out that II the Govern
ment had purchased some years ago
the building occupied by the Census
Bureau 1t would have saved much
money in rental.
Senator Warren intends to organize
the subcommittee on appropriations at
once. The District subcommittee. will
be increased from five to seven MEM

He Is at the head of the national
