sideration is having difficulty in reaching
a favorable report, and Senator Nelson.
who Is a member Of the subcommittee
having the Jones nomination under con-
sideratiOn, refused to join in a favorable
report.
Members of the committee have re-
ceived letters charging that Mr.. Hard
ing, of Birmingham. one ofsthe appoint
ees, had been in close business relations
with John Shelton Williams in Southern
Railroad affairs and this matter is be-
ing carefully inquired into. Up 20 this
time all Of the reports on Mr.. Harding
have been decidedly favorable.
Letters commencing the nomination OF
Paul warburg were received yesterday
from Festus J. Wade, the st. Louis
banker. and from representatives of Kid
der Peabody & Co.

pOintment for the full ten-year term to
follow. retiring from the head Of the
Treasury Department. This story was
inquired into by members OF the Senate

IT. They have been assured by Mr.. Ham
