WILLIAMS AGAIN NAMED
Wilson Nomlnates Him Third Time
as Comptroller Of Currency

Washington, Dec. 20.--(By A. P.)
john Skelton Williams, of Virginia,
was again nominated today by Presi-
dent Wilson to be comptroller of the
currency.
The denomination was made, senators
explained, to meet Senate rules requir-
ing new action with each new session
Mr.. Williams's previous nomination,
January 20, 1919, expired with the last
session. The new nomination automati-
cally will go TO the Senate banking com
mittee, which is expected to renew its
recommendation that the nomination be
rejected. Meantime the denomination
continues Mr.. Williams in Office.
This is the third time Mr.. Williams
has been named. His first nomination
was not acted on before the sixty fifth
Congress expired and no action was
taken at the extra session of the present
Congress on the committee report rec
ommending that his second nomination
be not confirmed.
Mr.. Williams was turned down by
the committee October 25 by vote of
Z to 8, after 4 long drawn out hearing
Republican Members of the committee
voted solidly against confirmation and
the Democrats for it. Mr.. Williams,
who was appointed comptroller January,
1914, was charged with misuse of official
power.

SOVIET ARK" ABOUT

New York, Dec. 2o.-(By A. p. y
The government steamship Bulford---
THE Soviet ark is ready to leave
New York for Bolshevik Russia on two
hours notice, it was learned today.
She will carry on her holiday cruise
greater part of several hundred radicals
held for deportation at Ellis island. In
formation was withheld concerning the
time of sailing and the exact destina
ton.
Many persons considered among the
most dangerous of those charged with
plotting to overthrow the United States
Government will be guests" of this
government for the cruise, despite their
professions of willingness TO pay their
own way. Alexander Berkmsn's and
Emma Goldman's names are the most
notable on the passenger list.
4 large contingent of soldi~rs and
marines will guard the passengers, who
are. being brought here in mystery
trains
All the members of the Ellis island
Soviet were notified Thursday to be
prepared to sail at any time. Through
their grapevine" connection that word
reached Manhattan, and yesterday
friends of the anarchists were busy
sending greetings, supplies, baskets and
trunks to the island. The radicals OF
this city have been lavish in their
preparation for the departure of their
revolutionary heroes

PLAN FOR NEW us.
OFFICES HERE GAINS
Chairman of Congress Commit
tee Assures w, S. Ware That
Claims Will Be Heard
CUSTOM HOUSE URGED

Washington, Dee. 20.-Assurance
that Philadelphia claims for new federal
buildings will be given consideration by
the present Congress was obtained by
Representative Ware today from Chair
man John w. Langley of the House
committee on public buildings and
grounds.
Mr.. Ware announced that he would
call meeting of the Philadelphia con
gressional delegation to discuss the sub
ject Immediately upon his return to
Philadelphia for the holidays. He de-
clared the prospects for definite action
on appropriations sought for several
years sto be brighter than at any time
heretofore.
With the backing of the solid Phila-
delphia representation and all civic
bodies and commercial organizations. a
drive will be made to obtain appropria f.
tions not only for a new custom house,
but for enlarged postal facilities, Rep
resentative Ware said. He expressed
the hope that all Philadelphia interests
would be able to agree on single
program to be presented to the com
mittee on buildings and grounds when
it undertakes the prepapstion of a
public buildings bill next month.
OUUu my TeIuTu 10 EnlH0elDDlH L
shall consult with my colleagues. in
cluding Mayor elect Moore, who is the
senior member of the Philadelphia dele
CATION, to discuss the different projects
for the erection of public buildings
in Philadelphia which have been pro
posed from time to time, with the
thought in mind that we can all agree
upon one big project for new federal
buildings for Philadelphia, Mr.. Ware
said, this afternoon.
Philadelphia has been lacking in
up to- date federal buildings. 1t has
not kept pace in this direction with it's
great Importance as an industrial and
business center.
u have been assured by Mr.. Langley
that we will be given consideration, and
l am hopeful of favorable action during
the present session of Congress.
among the several bills that have
been introduced is one by Mr.. Moore
for a new custom house in Philadelphia.
Much data has been compiled as to
the merits of this proposal. Public hear
ings have been held. That is one of the
projects that ought to receive first con =
sideration.
Additional postofice facilities also
are required. 1t is my idea that the
commercial bodies and civic organiza =
tions of Philadelphia should be invited
to a meeting with the Philadelphia del =
egation, in order that there shall be not
only an agreement on what is for the
best interests of the city. but so any
program agreed upon shall have their
enthusiastic support"

he will want the testimony of several
convicts, the inquest probably will be
held in the penltentiary, he added.
Statepeuts that the application of the
water cure" on six prisoners Monday
revealed a partly completed tunnel lead =
ing from their cells were corroborated
by John Il. Hanifen, member of the
board of prison inspectors.
Mr.. Hanifen said the tunnel was
nearly nine feet in length and was with
in a foot and a half of the inside wall
The convicts had fitted out an electric
light in the tunnel TO facilitate digging,
he declared.
So that guards would not suspect its
existence, the convicts had covered the
cell end of the hole with a panel plas-
tered to resemble the appearance of the
surrounding wall. A fire hose turned on
several obstreperous prisoners, he added
knocked away the panel and revealed
the tunnel.
McEenty Belittles Tunnel Plot
Warden McKenty this afternoon be-
Titled the attempt made by the pris-
oners to burrow their way to liberty.
THE hole was only eight inches deep
and about four feet long" the warden
declared. "If they had run the tunnel
through tho wall it would have led to
the yard of the penitentiary. The con
victs get out there anyway to exercise.
1T is ridiculous to say that the tun-
mel showed wholesale Jail delivery
plot. Such a thing would have been

Congress Adopts
Amended Sugar Bill

to benefit Cuban planters to the detri-
ment of American producers and to add
to the Golfers of the sugar trust.
Object Is to Keep Down Prices
The Senate last Saturday passed the
original McNary bill. The measure is
intended to relieve the existing shortage
of sugar, preventing a recurrence of it
next year and, above all, keep down the
price to consumers.
A bill was passed in the House We'd
nesday by 256 to "a continuing the
equalization board until 1921. Amend
ments retaining in force the wartime
power of the government for controlling
prices and movements of sugar necessi-
tated the bill being submitted to joint
conference of the Senate and House.
By shortening the period of licensing,
which was originally fixed to end Sep
tember 81, the Louisiana crop of 1920
is left free in supply and demand
market, but the 1919 crop is kept under
control.
The sugar board already has the capital
with which to buy the Cuban crop. The
best information legislators have been
able to gather during extended hearings
is that in these conditions the sugar
Hoard will be able to overcome the sugar
shortage in a comparatively brief time.
One effect of the new low, it is said,
will be to open up large stocks of sugar
that have been held off the market in
anticipation of still further advances of
price.
