SEEKS TO CALM
PATRONAGE STORM
O'Gorman Supporter Sug-
gests Compromise Can
didate to Wilson.

Washington, March 8. To calm the
patronage storm that has arisen over
the selection of n United States AT
torney for tho Western District OF
New York Representative Charles r
Smith to-day suggested to the Presi-
cent the appointment Of ex-Statc Sen
ator Burd as a compromise candidate.
Mr.. Smith said that Boris appoint
ment would sa-iefy all parties, bu'
there are no indications .hat Senator
O'Gorman has swerved from hiS origi-
nal choice OF Thomas F.. Boyd. SEN
ator O'Gorman is now in New York.
Mr.. Smith was an original supporter
OF Boyd, who was recommended D"
Senator O'Gorman. Before Congress
assembled last fall President Wilson
appointed John ID. Lynn, Of Rochester
Senator O'GOrman and his friends gaze
prompt notice that Lynn could not be
confirmed. When the President sent
Lynn's nomination 10 the Senate it was
unanimously rejected. Lynn served
until March 4, when his appointmen :
expired. Judge John r. Hazel. Of tho
Western District Court, named Lynn
to continue as United States Attorney
pending final decision on his sue
cessor. 1t is understood he did this
by agreement with the Department OF
Justice, which must pay Lynn's bill
from a special fund.
Senator O'Gorman recently served
notice on Attorney General Gregory
that he would stand by his original
choice of Boyd, and that he saw no rea
son WHY any one else should be name1.

Germany's respect for the American

Cunarders Orduna, Laconia and Tran

Anchor Line. which recently passed
into the control of the Cunard COM

was given ut the home Office of the
Cunard Line or at the company's office

that the inroads on the passenger traf-

that they carried only cabin and steer
