JOHNSON OPENS
QUARTERS HERE
California Senator Prepares to
Fight for Delegates in
Eastern States.
(speoio, Despatch to the Herald }

WASHINGTON, d. c., Thursday.-Sena-
tor Hiram Johnson's campaign for the Re-
publican nomination for the Presidency
got under headway today. Eastern head
quarters have been opened in New York,
and Senator Johnson will leave Sunday for
Missouri for an extended speaking tour in
the Middle Western States, including
South Dakota, where he will make a seri-
GUS fight for delegates. On his return he
will go into New Jersey and other Eastern
States.
Angus McSween, for many years Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American, has been chosen as Sena-
tor Johnson's Eastern manager. Mr.. Nc.
Sween was one of the late President Roose-
velt's most intimate friends. He left this
afternoon for New York, and will be tenn
porarily located in the McAlpin Hotel. II
is Senator Johnsons intention to make a
fight for delegates wherever there is a
chance for a popular expression in their
selection.
Announcing the opening OF the Eastern,
headquarters, Senator Johnson said to-
day
my campaign has been moving with
such rapidity and has assumed such pro-
portions in the East that it has been abb
solutely necessary for me to have a rep
resentative in New York. / am dependent,
of course, in this contest upon enthusiastic
friends who believe as do. politically.
am singularly fortunate that my friend,
Angus McSween, of the Philadelphia North
American, journalist whose reputation is
second to none and whose very great
ability and high character are we'll known,
has consented TO take charge of my in
terests in the East.
Mr.. McSween at once will open modest
headquarters in New York from which will
be directed contests now under way in
many of the Eastern States. This move
has become necessary because the fight
has got far beyond my personal super
vision. Wherever there is an opportunity
to obtain decision by the people. there
we will have a fight for the Republican
delegates. Already in many of the states
where the rank and file of the Republican
party have the right of selection con-
tests are under way, and Mr.. McSween will
direct organizations in every State with
real primaries"

facilities in New York city had not kept
pace with the increase in the passenger

present problems of the country.

Urges 81, 500, 100000
Cut in u. S. Costs

WASHINGTON, D. c., Thursday. I'M
penditures and appropriations Ito avert
financial ruin was urged in the Senate
today by Senator McCumber, Republicans,
of North Dakota.
Denouncing the governments wild
orgy" Of spending, Senator McCumber
said the high cost of living was due TO
governmental extravagances
THE country" said the Senator. "is
longing for a return to something like
normal conditions, but the people as
whole cannot possibly return to a normal
state so long as the government keeps UP
this abnormal extravaganza. The first
great necessary step is to stop borrowing.
but to stop borrowing we must stop
spending, and to stop spending we must
stop the appropriations"
Predicting that deficit of more than
three billion dollars would exist at the
beginning of the next fiscal year, the
Senator said Congress must "apply the
axe and not a drawshave to appropria
tions.''
Immediate dissolution OF the Shipping
Board was recommended by Senator
McCumber, who said, THE most shame
full of all OF our criminal extravagances
have been the expenses of building our
ships"
Reductions in appropriations for forti
fications and the navy, elimination of ap
preparations for public buildings, river
and harbor improvements and public
works, with cuts in the estimates for the
various government departments, should
be made, Senator McCumber said. adding
that q saving OF 81 100000 could be accom-
plished in this way.

Darwin P. Kingsley. president OF the

Mr.. HOOVER HERE,
SILENT ON BOOM
Declines to Make Any State
ment on a Political
Topic.

Herbert Hoover, possible Presidentia
candidate, arrived in the city YESTERDAY
and returned to Washington at night with.
out saying whether he was a candidat,
for either the Democratic or Republican
nomination, or whether he might run al
an independent candidate.
Mr.. Hoover passed the afternoon in his
office at the headquarters of the Ameri
can Relief Administration, No. 115 Broad
way. where it was said that he did no
wish to grant an interview on any politica
topic. During most of this time he was IL
conference with julius II. Barnes, fedora
Wheat Administrator, Edgar Rickard
edwin p. Shattuck, George Jackson, o.
Baltimore, and II. ID. Irwin, of Phila
delphia.
While all Of these have been associated
with Mr.. Hoover in philanthropic enter.
prises growing out of the war, il was sait
to be a fair assumption that recent de
velopments in the boom for Mr.. Hoover
were discussed. 1t was recalled in this
connection that Mr.. Barnes had suggested
Mr.. Hoover for the Republican nomination
for President week ago.
Although none of Mr.. Hoover's friend.
would speak for direct quotation, it wal
learned that the apparent spontaneity o.
the recent expressions regarding Mr.
Hoover's availability as a candidate haC
not been at all displeasing to Mr.. Hoover
A striking feature of the situation wa.
that from none of Mr.. Hoover's friends
could the intimation be obtained as t
whether Mr.. Hoover was a Democrat o
Republican.
It was seemingly taken for granted tha
Mr.. Hoover will become candidate, o.
at least that his friends will put him for
ward. The probable developments in th'
Hoover boom were forecasted as fol
The first step. in the belief Of some o
Mr.. Hoover's friends. will be the organiza
ton of Hoover clubs all over the country
These clubs, it was explained. proba bl!
will be non-partisan, in the sense tina
both Democrats and Republicans will b'
asked to join them.
Within short time, IL was said, Mr.
IIoover's friends expect Mr.. Hoover to b.
called upon to state how he stands oI
great public questions. They then expec
him to make a public declaration of hi
views--in effect, Hoover platform.

Especial Despatch to the Herald. }

Especial Despatch to the Heruld)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Thursday-Radi='
cal notifications of the volstead national
prohibition act which would permit the
sale of wine of less than nine per cent OF
alcoholic content, beer of less than three
per cent, the withdrawal from bond of
whiskey purchased before wartime pro-
hibition became effective, and to allow
physicians to prescribe two quarts OF
whiskey month, are the provisions pro-
posed in a bill introduced today by Repre-
sentative SABBATH. Democrat. Of Illinois.
'The intent of this bill is plain" said
Mr.. SABBATH. Section 3. of the act is
amended so that the act would not go
into effect until sixty days after the
Supreme Court has held the act constitu-
tional.
I'm addition to allowing wine of less
than nine per cent alcohol and beer of less
than three per cent to be sold my bill
permits the withdrawal from bonded
warehouses of whiskies manufactured be-
fore September 10. 1917, and purchased for
personal use before wartime prohibition
went into effect. tt
Under both the wartime prohibition and
the national prohibition acts the sale and
purchase of warehouse certificates repre-
senting whiskies in bond was specially
permitted. Thousands of persons have
purchased and paid for these certificates,
believing that opportunity would be given
them to withdraw such goods from bonded
warehouses after the suspension of war
time prohibition and before national pro-
hibition could go into effect
Section Z is amended to permit ply
sicians to prescribe in lieu of one pint
every ten days, one quart every fifteen
days"
Mr.. SABBATH also introduced legislation to
suspend the prohibition act for ninety
days, with a view to permitting the sale
Of whiskey 'for medicinal purposes" or
until the epidemic of influenza is over. He
contends that whiskey is life saver in
influenza cases, and unnecessary hind
ORANGES and delays" in it's purchase should
be ended.

Jersey to Join in
Rhode Island Suit
Governor and Aids Determine to
Have Highest Court Pass
on etAppeal.

The State Of New Jersey, through its
Attorney General, Thomas f. McCran, Is
to make an Immediate effort to convince
the United States Supreme Court that
the prohibition amendment involves al
invasion of the rights reserved under the
constitution to that Commonwealth, and
that, so far as concerns New Jersey,
which has refused to ratify the amend
ment, it should be pronounced null and
void.
An announcement to that effect was
made yesterday at the office of Governor
conference by the Governor, the Attorney
General and John Milton, Corporation
Counsel of Jersey City. This statement
was made public, ard participants in the
conference refused to amp.ify it,
1.-THE conference was held regarding the
proposed attack upon the eighteenth
amendment. The Governor and Mr.. Nc
Gran discussed various phases Of the
question. There was handed to Mr.. Nc
Gran by the Governor formal request
to proceed in the name of the State in
whatever litigation was necessary to have
lit determined whether or not the Eigh-
teenth Amendment constitutes an invasion
Of the right Of New Jersey as a sovereign
State or is valid part of the constitution.
"As result of the discussion it was
determined by the Attorney General and
the Governor that an original suit should
be instituted in the Supreme Court of the
United States, and that suit should be
consolidated, if possible, with the Rhode
Island case. so SIS to have the two cases
argued at the same time. The questions
presented by the Rhode Island suit will
be raised also by New Jersey. In addi-
tion other questions will be presented by
Mr.. McCran."
Applications in behalf of individuals and
corporations for the privilege of institut-
ing original suits directly in the Supreme
Court of the United States to test the
validity of the amendment already have
been denied by that tribunal. AS in the
case of the action started by the Attorney
General of Rhode Island. who acted un-
der mandatory instructions of the Rhode
Island Legislature, a sovereign State has
the privilege. which is denied the indi-
vidual, of taking its action directly be-
fore the highest court. New Jersey. like
Rhode Island and Connecticut, has re-
fused. through its Legislature, to ratiry
the prohibition amendment.

zens residents of this State employed in

ployed in New York that they have the
right to oppose the payment of the New

sey Joined the issue. The case was argued
