N REYNOLDS FACES
SOME OPPOSITION
His Nomination for Supreme
Court in Today viii Be Con-
firmed, However.

President Wilson. as had been an
name of Attorney General McRey-
nolds to be associate justice of the
United States Supreme Court to sue
coed the late Justice Lurton. At the
same time he sent in the nomination
of Assistant Attorney General Thomas
Watt Gregory. of Texas, to be Attor-
ney General.
Some opposition has already devel-
oped in the Senate to the confirmation
of McReynolds as a member OF the
Supreme Bench. This IL based in part
on his attitude in the New Haven case
and in part on other matters. Some
Senators have not forgotten the un.
willing part the Attorney General
took in the Diggs-Caminettl affair and
his unreadiness to give rigid enforce
ment to the white slave aot
Among progressive Senators Mr.. Nc
Reynolds Is considered as a man of
conservative II not reactionary ten
denotes.
Nevertheless, Mr.. McReynolds will
be confirmed. Senator Luke Lea made
a canvass Of the Senate some days ago
to see whether he could be confirmed
and found out he could be.
Thus far no signs OF opposition have
developed to Mr.. Gregory. He is re-

LAWMAKERS FAVOR
PLACE FOR GIBBONS

naval "Plucking board" the House
naval "plucking board" the House
Committee on Naval Affairs today
recommended the passage of the Beakes
bill to reinstate Capt. John H. Gibbons
to the active list OF the navy. Captain
Gibbons was retired by the board sew
eral weeks ago under the law which
provides that the least efficient captains
shall be dropped each year. The report
to the House, written By Congressman
Hensley, of Missouri, takes issue with
the plucking board on every point. and
declares that Captain Gibbons record
is "nawless' and that his retirement Is
a distinct blow to the efficiency of the
navy.
The report quotes some Of the tesd-
mony offered to the Naval Affairs Com
mittee by Admiral Austin w. knight,
member of the plucking board, who said
the board selected Captain Gibbons be-
cause of his lack Of sea service, and be-
cause he had not contributed anything
10 the advancement of the navy.
The report states:
The reasons assigned by Admiral
knight for the retirement OF Captain
Gibbons, when carefully considered by
the committee, appear little short OF
remarkable. in the light of the record
here set out 1t seems that in connec-
ton with every position the captain held
some of them being the most RESPONSE
bic, he reflected great credit upon the
service Excellent being written
throughout his record. Concerning his
sea service. the record discloses that
Captain Gibbons had considerably more
service to his credit than some OF those
in his grade who were not retired, and
against whom marks appear upon the
service record"

Mr.. Newman recalled the success OF
the Commissioners, through the cor

loan sharks in the District. saying that
borrowers were saved more than S3o,uo
