Given Post be Vote Of o. go.
~ - 70 6. -

Washington, Aug 31.-JameS Clarl
McReynolds. for the last two years at
toTney general of the United States
was confirmed by the senate az asso
ciate justice Of the supreme court K
Bucceed the late Associate Justice H
H. LurtOn.
The vote on the confirmation was A
to 6, the senators voting against the
confirmation being Norris, Cummins
Poindexter, Jones and Clapp. Republic
ans, and Vardaman. Democrat, Sena
tor Norris led the fight against the
confirmation.
The senate then without roll call
confirmed Thomas Watt Gregory as
attorney general to succeed Mr.. Nc
Reynolds. No fight was made on Mr..
Gregory. who is a Texan and came into
prominence recently IN connection
with the department of justice inVesu-
cation of the New Haven railroad
financial affairs.
A touch of bitterness was given the
fight on Mr.. McReynolds when Sena.
tor Lewis Of Chicago, defending Mr..
McReynolds. assumed full RESPONSE
bility for acts by the attorney general
forcing the resignation Of James H.
Wilkerson. district attorney at Chi.
cago, to make way for Charles r.
Clyne.
Il am responsible for all this" said
Mr.. Lewis, "and take the RESPONSE.
bility. 1 am not willing that the re.
sponsibility shall be fastened ON the
attorney general or that blame for
such act, Ii there be cause for blame,
shall attach to anyone but myself
cannot allow any senator here to read
from anonymous letters or from letters
and withhold the name OF the writer
which covertly indicates that am do
ing something should not do. I must
demand that we shall stand on the
record and in the open under such con-
ditions." d. -
The Lewis challenge came when
Senator Norris repeated his charge
that Mr.. McReynolds had made many
removals Of district attorneys at mop
perfume times, and especially when
trust heads were coming up for prose
cution.
The anonymous letters or letters
from nameless writers, rejecting on
Mr.. McReynolds used by Senators Nor
ris and Cummins, are alleged to have
been written by Judge Lands. They
are to be demanded by the senate
judiciary subcommittee when Mr. vii.
kerson appears Tuesday to testify con-
corning charges alleged to have been
made by him against McReynolds, that
he was forced out OF Office because it
was not desired he should prosecute in
the Lorimer bank case, the New York
Central rebate case and pending trust
cases

her protest against the war in Europe

Silently they rod through this canyon
OF hotel club, residence and Office

stood as quietly on the sidewalks,
viewing the slowly moving procession
as they might look upon a passing fu-
neral cortege. Occasionally sunlight
streamed from overcast skies and
touched upon the clusters OF yellow

carried. Nearly twenty-five hundred
women took part in this unique dem.
onstration, which had the approval OF
President Wilson. Boy Scouts with
drums led each division. A lone ban
