REFUSE CONFIRMATION
OF WILSON FAVORITES
Senate Balks on Approval of Presi
dents Nominations.

Indications are that the nomination of
Raymond B. Stevens to be a member OF
the Shipping Board may be held up in
the Senate and a recess nomination forced
from the President.
Stevens, a former member of the House
and chief examiner for the Federal Trade
Commission, is personally antagonistic to
Senator Gallinger, minority leader,
against whom he ran as Democratic can
didate for United States Senator a few
years ago. Recently, through the opposi-
Tion of the New Hampshire Senator. an
increase in salary was denied him.
Efforts OF friends of DIR. Cary T. Gray
son, the Presidents personal physician,
who has been promoted to the rank of
rear admiral in the navy over nun arous
officers OF higher rank, to have the nomi-
nation confirmed, failed again yesterday.
By vote of As to 10 the Senate refused
TO go into executive session to consider
the nomination. and it appears that the
Republican effort to block confirmation
at this session will be successful and q
recess appointment forced.

POLICE ARREST WOMAN
ON drug ACT charge
Used Physicians Names to Secure
Drugs, Authorities Allege.

Charged with using the names of local
physicians on prescriptions for drugs.
Mrs. Pearl Virginia Stewart. "a years old,
was yesterday arrested by Pharmacy In
spectors Saunders and Evans and sent
to the Washington Asylum Hospital for
treatment. The woman, who is said to
live at 522 Kenyon street, told several
stories to the officers. She gave numer-
Gus addresses and finally stated that her
husband, whose initials she refused to
give, was employed at the Union Station
at night.
According to the police the woman, who
was arrested at Georgia avenue and Ken
yon street. made a practice of calling on
physicians and securing prescription
blanks, which she later filled out and had
compounded.
Owing to the fact that the prescriptions
we're for small amounts of the drug 1t Is
believed by the police that she secured
the drug for her own use alone. The po-
lice. it is said, have ten specific cases
against Mrs. Stewart.
1t is probable that the woman win be
brought up for trial in the United States
Court to answer a charge of violation of
the Harrison drug act.

M'CUMBER IS IRONIC
ON GERMAN war CRISIS
will We Pass Another Lusitania In
cident Unnoticed2" He Asks.

An exact definition of the administra-
ton view of ''an overt act" giving cause
for war with Germany, was demanded
by Senator McCumber on the Senate
floor yesterday.
"Since February ], about seventy-ffve
ships have been sunk by German sub
marines without warming" he said.
"Yet We are told now that we will
await an overt act. Certainly If we
await anything farther. there will never
be any cause for war.
docs this mean We have farther re-
ceded from our position?" he asked.
Does It mean that we no longer ques-
ton Germany's right to sink, without
warning, belligerent ships with Ameri-
cans aboard and that it calls for nothing
sterner than another note? Does II
mean that IL we have another Lusitania
we will allow 1t to pass unnoticed?
"Why not say to Germany?
I'VE will not defend Americans travel
ing on ships carrying contraband." The
decision of the Cabinet yesterday, IL the
reports are correct, makes war impos-
sible."
