Gated by the resignation of John T.

The action. which follows the sugges-
ton of Assistant Secretary Charles :.

ton which has existed in the Treasury
Department for number of years. In
cidentally the condition referred TO has
been the source of great embarrass-
ment.
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagl
made Mr.. Wilkie supervising agent. With
the higher office in his grasp Mr.. Wikie
detached a large number of the special
agents force Of the Department from the
Customs Division to the Secret Service
The Customs Office found itself thereby
charged by law with the prevention and
detection of frauds against the Customs
Offices, yet deprived of the authority to
direct the force OF special agents whose
duty it was to prevent such frauds
Secretary McAdoo now restores, by or
der. the full force to the Office of the
Assistant Secretary in charge of Gus
toms. There are about 100 men in the
special agent force.

Senators Will read
DR.. REINSCH'S BOOKS
Not to Act on Nomination ss Minister
to China Until They Have
Gone Over Writings.
DELAY In MGOODWIN'S CASE

The Foreign Relations Committee oi
the Senate is engaged in literary pur.
suits and searching the book stores for
the works OF authors who have been
nominated by President Wilson for the
diplomatic service. IL was learned yes
terday that the nomination of DR.. Pau
Reinsch. OF the University Of Wisconsin.
to be Minister TO China, will not be re-
ported favorably until members of the
committee have carefully read the many
volumes he has written on the Eastern
question. colonial governments. and other
economic subjects.
This precauton was suggested BY
Senator Bacon, Chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee. who made IL clear
Yesterday that the nomina tions of liter
airy men to diplomatic positions will be
carefully scrutiniZed and their books and
other writings subjected TO the acid test
before favorable action is taken on their
case.
For this reason the nomination Of DR..
Reinsch has gone over. although It is ad-
mitted that up to this time the members
of the committee have found nothing
IN his writings that has offended them.
The committees passed over yesterday
the nomination of Preston cGoodw win,
of Oklahoma. nominated Minister to
Venezuela. There are no formal charges
against him, but the question has been
raised as TO his political affiliations.
The committee agreed to report favor
ably the nomination of James NJ Sulli-
van. attorney of New York, to be Minis
ter TO San Domingo. Informal charges
had been made against Mr.. Sullivan. one
OF which was that he had acted as at
torney for Ja.k Rose, the gambler in
the RoseaI al case
The committee decided after investiga-
ton the allegations that there was moth
ing discreditable to Mr. Sullivan. One
OF the strongest points in his favor was

who conducted the prosecution in the
Rosenthal case. paying a high tribute

AND MEN AT SAME MESS
Senator Kern Says Secretary Dam
iels Never Contemplated Issuing
Any Such Order.

Senator Kern of Indiana, leader of
the majority in the Senate, made a
brief speech yesterday in explanation of
his recent observations on naval snob-
berry. incidentally, he stated for Secre-
tary Daniels of the Navy Department,
on the authority OF that Cabinet officer,
that he had never expressed himself in
favor of having officers and enlisted
men mess together. Senator Kern
stated for the Secretary of the Navy
that Mr.. Daniels had never contemplated
making any such an order.
Senator Kern explained that when he
referred a few days ago to "perfumed
naval officers" he had in mind "un-
American snobs, who discriminate
against their equals because they are
enlisted men,"
But I believe the great majority of
our navy officers" he added. "are too
brave and too thoroughly American to
forget that in this country there can be
no order of nobility to which every
worthy man is not eligible
