BANKHEAD WAGES

ON APPOINTMENTS

Holding up Action by

Washington, November 29.--(Special 1T
is quite evident that Senator Bankhead
has been able to stave off the SLATE
of Alabama appointments that were ia
have gone to the Senate this week, aad
although it Is apparent that the senator
is playing lone hand, he may yet be
powerful enough to get a few of tine
things he wants.
There can be no other solution to the
failure of these appointments to go in
Assistant Attorney General Graham, in
charge of the appointments for the de-
partment of justice, was positive as late
as last Monday that there would be
something doing in Alabama appoint
ments of district attorneys, and United
States marshals during the week.
In fact, Mr. Graham strongly limited
that the full quota had been agreed upon
and that the names would go to the
Senate positively without change. To all
inquiries as to the personnel of the pro-
posed nominees he was silent, and when
Senator Bankhead was appealed to, all
he would say was: There may be a
bunch of them when they come to the
Senate, but 1 am not so sure that they
are coming right away
Bankhead and Wilson do Not Agree
1t is we'll known that Senator Bank
head and the President do not agree as
to at least two, and perhaps more, fed
eral offices In Alabama. Had they been
able to agree these places would have
been filled long ago. The situation in
Alabama is almost identical with the re-
cent situation in New York. as between
Senator OGorman and the President.
O'Gorman stood to his guns for a loEg
while, and even went so far as TO sud-
denly develop the fact that tiere were
many things in the proposed a1lninistra-
ton currency bill that yese detrimental
to the best interests of his constituents
and consequently he would oe compelled
to fight for certain amendments to that
measure.
O'GOrman Played Game Well
OGorman did not get all that he was
fighting for in New York in the end
not at all-but 1t is significant that the
New York senator's son-in-law Dudley
Field Malone, was appointed to the col
lectorship of the port of New York, which
by the way, is one of the very fattest
of federal plums, and that now Senator
O'Gorman is one of the strongest hackers
of the administration currency bill, BE-
ing a recent and most enthusiastic con-
vert.
We do not say that President Wilson
compromised with OGorman; on the con-
trary, we do not believe that nc did
For Dudley Field Malone stands nigh
with the administration purely on his own
account. But there was some clever pol
itics played by Senator OGorman at any
rate, and In the game he apparently lost
nothing.
Senator Bankhead has not joined the
insurgents against the currency bill, and
in all probability he will not do so, but
the senator is putting up game fight
for SAY So in the matter OF federal
patronage in Alabama, and thai it is IN
measure a telling fight is osideuced

the administration currency bill pro-
gresscd slowly i'm Its preparation for
final consideration on the floor of the
Senate.
Practically no change was made in
the administration draft of the bill
as presented by Senator owen and the
five administration senators of the
banking and currency committee dur
ing the day, but for several hours the
conference discussed a technical inter
probation of the provision of the bill
relating to the retiring of the new
currency to be issued. Senator Reed
of Missouri criticized the wording of
the section.
May Delay Programme
The democratic programme for day
and night sessions of the Senate until
the bill is disposed of probably vii;
be delayed until the conference con-
cludes its work next Tuesday or
Wednesday. The principle upon which
the committee split the public owner
ship and government control of the
proposed regional reserve banks, was
not brought before the conference and
the administration plan for regional
banks capitalized by enforced subscrip-
tions of the banks and controlled by
bank selected directors was indorsed.
1t was provided however that the
federal reserve board should have the
power to remove all directors of the
regional banks.
The conference passed over the pro
vision of the bill fixing the number of
regional banks. At the instance of the
conference. democrats of the currency
committee are framing a guarantee OF
bank deposits provision which may be
written into the bill.
The conference referred back to the
democrats of the banking committee the
section of the bill relating to the retire
ment of federal reserve notes and a new
proposition was suggested for the re-
funding of per cent bonds ON which
the present currency is based The plan
| involved the acceptance OF some of the
features of the refundng plan in the bill

republicans of the banking committee II

T ENNIE'S new-found girl friend
at the office the next day told
y Jennie that she had fixed" 1t
up for them to go out on a time"
that evening with the two young
men. Also. that one of the young
men had plenty of money, and she
had known him for a long tlme--that
they would go to the girls room after
work and get cleaned up and meet
the boys later.
While they were dressing, Jennie
marveled how any girl getting seven
dollars a week could have such a nice
room and furniture-but the girl ex-
planned it was easy--if you knew
HOW.
While they were dressing the two
young men came in-without knock
ing-and seemed to be quite at home,
especially-as Jennie's friend ex-
planned later-the one that had
money.
He kissed Jennies friend They
had brought a bottle of cocktails, and
after having one all around Jennie
felt a little more at ease and wasn't
quite so shocked at her friend for
sitting on the young mans lap and
smoking a cigarette.
Jennie's friend had put on another
dress and hat after getting home that
made Jennie and her simple little

that would have been avoided.

had a very hilarious dinner, at which

they did, but it made her sick, and

Jennie pretended she didn't hear
but it made her more determined than
ever to have good clothes and look
as well or better than the other girls
she saw. That night, when the young
man finally brought her to the corner,
near her home, Jennie wasn't quite so
reluctant as she would have been

room

When he had completed his in
structions to the stenographer, Burke
turned to Glider and Demarest.

cally. 'I'l be the one to do the talk
ing. Don't you be surprised. Re
member, we're dealing with crooks,
and when you're dealing with crooks
you have to use crooked ways"
There was a brief period of silence.
Then the door opened and Mary Tur-
ner entered the office She walked
slowly forward, moving with the
smooth strength and grace that were
proof of perfect health and Of perfect
poiSe, the correlation of mind and
body in eXactness. Her FORM clearly
revealed by the Clinging evening
dress, was curving group Of graces.
The beauty of her face was enhanced,
rather than lessened, by the pallor Of
it, for the fading of the richer colors

ceal She paid absolutely no atten-
ton to the other two in the room. but
went straight to the desk and there
halted, gazing with her softly pene-
traut eyes of deepest violet into the
face of the Inspector.
Under that intent scrutiny. Burke

craft with craft. He was not likely
to undervalue the wits of one who
had so often tiouted him. who. even
now, had placed him in a preposter-
Gus predicament by this ENHANCEMENT

resolved to use his best skill to dis
arm her sophistication. His large
voice was modulated in kindness as
he spoke in a casual manner.

you're free"
Mary regarded the speaker with an
impenetrable expression, Her tones
as she spoke were quite as matter
