HUGHES ANSWERS
REDFIELD WITH
DURAND LETTER
EX-0ireCtOT of Census De-
CIareS He Was Forced Out
of Office to Create
a Vacancy"

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi. Aug. To-
Charles F. Hughes. replying TO secy
Bedfield's telegram denying that f..
Dana Durand. was forced out OF Of
Ice as director Of the census. We'd
nesday read 20 "A large audience here
A letter from Mr.. Durand i'm which
Mr. Durand said that he had told
Redfield he would resign but wanted
10 remain. and that Redfield re-
piled that the administration had
decided on a change
Mr.. Durand's letter read by the
nominee in the course OF an open air
speech at the parade grounds here,
was in part as follows.
says Resignation Forced.
''Inasmuch as the truth OF your
statement with regard 10 the change
in the dictatorship of the census has
been challenged. ] think it is only
fair 20 YOU that I should make this
statement My resignation as direC-
tor was distinctly a forced resigna-
ton At the first conversation
had with Sec'y Redfield ] told him
that I would resign. but that ] hoped
| would be permitted 10 remain He
at once told me that the administra-
ton had decided that il wanted 10
make a change. I believe to create
a vacancy were his words The next
that / heard OF it was an announce
ment in the press that my successor
had been named and ] at once wrote
out my resignation"

Repeats Detroit Declaration.
Mr.. Hughes then repeated his De-
troit declaration with reference TO
the displacement OF IAN eminent sci
enlist" in the coast and geodetic sur
vey by IAN excellent stock breeder
and veterinary surgeon
Exception also has been taken by
the distinguished secretary with re-
gard TO that man. the nominee con
tinued. Now l am not in a position
to state of NY own knowledge the
circumstances with reference to the
retirement Of the eminent scientist
who occupied that important place.
But II / may assume that he retired
voluntarily. my point is not so much
the retirement Of the man. who
went. but the character OF the man
by whom he was succeeded.
Il am now told that Mr.. Jones,
who succeeded him, was promoted
after being deputy commissioner of
fisheries. But ne was appointed 10
that place. also involving the need
OF technical skill and training BY this
administration. He went there from
his stock farm and took charge of
the bureau
Standards Must BE Higher.
Mr. Hughes went into detail as TO
the charge he made in Detroit that
the administration had made "a raid
upon the civil service of the United
States and concluded as follows:
We must have higher standards
than those of this administration.
This administration, with loud pro-
LESSONS of devotion TO civil service
reform. has not been true 10 the
standards Of the administration.
which / believe the American people
desire To see enforced
Immediately after his speech here
Mr. Hughes motored back to st.
Paul, where his program called for
the delivery of an address later.

KNUTTY KNOWLEDGE

KNUTTY KNOWLEDGE
The mind-wrecklng problem Of
how long a piece Of string is has
been solved by a Lynn, Mass, scien-
fist. He finds that it is from one end
to the other.
A new writing Ink has been patent
ed that is much superior to the old
kind. It stops shorter and goes
around corners more accurately and
instead Of following the pen point 1t
goes ahead of it.
There are no signs on the rock of
Gibraltar prohibiting visitors from
taking it home for a souvenir.
The only way to tell the difference
between a right-handed and left
handed walking stick is by holding it
up to a northwest moOnbeAm so that
it divides it by six.
We get 1Oc a word for writing this
stuff but the first 500 words don't
count.
