ments for the consortium has been
held up by protests from the United

Vice President Marshall on sew
eral occasions has declared in a
facetious vein that his official duties
are comparatively unimportant and
that he Is always obscured by the
President. Last night the man who
presides over the Senate was even
less important. 1t seemed that all
he was allowed to do was to come
into the sick-room at intervals to
ask, How is Morrison nowr Sew

night to give whatever aid they
could.
Never Really Adopted.
Although never legally adopted,
Morrison now has been with the
Vice President and Mrs. Marshall
for more than two years. The Mar
shalls persuaded Morri5on's family
to let him live with them at the
Willard. Here a special kitchen

SCORES BONUS PLANS

Prohibition was assailed by SEN
ator Charles S. Thomas, Democrat.
OF Colorado, at banquet OF the
Order Of Washington, q patriotic
Organization, in the Lafayette Hotel
last night.
: Senator Thomas described the
Federal prohibition law as "the
transfer of police power to the gov
ernment and authority over domes-
tic matters which should remain
within the States,
IN the words Of the Father Of His
County" Senator Thomas said,
hthis proposition 'undermines what
is not directly assailed.'
'I have no idea that the amend
inent will be repealed" said the
speaker, but We must see to 1t
that constitutional amendments Of
similar character are not enacted.
Senator Thomas declared that
there were, to his knowledge, twen-
ty-seven proposed constitutional
of Congress. He spoke against
them.
Senator Thomas denounced what
he called "the proposed donation to
the American Legion of $250,000.00
in bonuses."
The purpose of both' parties IN
pushing this measure Is to secure
political advantage" the sreaker
declared.

There was perceptible in the usu-
ally gay Peacock Alley" at the
willard Hotel last night an air Of
grave. quiet concern. Upstairs. from
the apartment occupied by the Vice
President and Mrs. Marshall, came
the news that Morrison. the 3-year-
old adopted son of the Marshalls,
though fighting bravely, had only
slight chance to recover from q
serious attack of acidosis.
Mrs. Marshall. with the child's
mother, Mrs. Morrison, specialists
from Johns Hopkins Hospital and
nurses remained constantly about
the bedside of the boy last night.
His every need was met with the
best the medical world could fur
nish; his every wish anticipated by
the little group on vigil about the
sick-bed.
Not Well Lately.
Morrison had not been well for
some time. and last Monday he be-
came seriously i'll. The Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Marshall were in

REPUBLICANS CALL
COLBY'S SELECTION
CAMPAIGN POLITICS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

OONIiNubD rnOM FAS6 ONb.
Political significance is attached to
these selections. They are believed
to indicate either the Presidents
intention to seek denomination or to
throw the weight Of his influence
to some independent In politics.
Senator Lodge. Republican leader
and chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, had no COM
ment to make for publication, but
the impression was gathered that
he will not actively oppose the con-
two New York Senators, Wadsworth
and Calder. are expected to conduct
a fight against Colby, although they
would have preferred to see some
one else nominated.
Think Polk VIII Retire.
1t is now thought certain that
Undersecretary of State Polk will
carry out the intention he formed
some time ago of retiring from Of
flee just as soon as he has thorough
ly acquainted Mr.. Colby with his
new duties.
Whole-hearted Approval.
Senator Ashurst, Arizona, Demo
crat, was emphatic in his approval
of the Presidents selection.
1T would be impossible to find
a better man." he said.
Senator Sheppard, Texas. Demo-
crat. said: Colby is an able man.
1 have no doubt he will make a
ogod Secretary.
No Senator could recall a case
where a Cabinet nomination had
been overruled by the Senate and
IL was not believed that this prec-
edent Will be broken in the case of
Colby. Considerable delay is ex-
pected, however, before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee makes
a report on the nomination. 1t
probably will be favorable when
comes. but members intimated to-
day that there may be some fnves-
tlgation of Colby's experience
Several members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee are
absent from Washington. and Col
bys nomination is not likely to be
taken up for consideration until
they return.
Mr.: Colby is 50 years of age He
is a graduate of Williams College,
Massachusetts,. He spent one year
in Columbia Law School and has
practiced law in New York State
since 1892. He was a member of
the New York assembly in 1901
1902. He was one of the council
of interest which brought about the
reform in the Equitable Life In
surance Company. Later he was
employed by the Mutual Life In
surance Company. He was a per-
sonal friend Of the late Samuel
Clemens mark Twain) and repre-
sented the author in the settling
UP of the affairs of the Iatter's
publishing house. Mr.. Colby nom-
mated Col. Roosevelt at Chicago
in 1916, leaving the party when
Col. Roosevelt decided to support
Hughes. AS a member of the Ship
ping Board, Mr.. Colby played an
important part in the building up
of the American merchant marine
during the war. He has for many
years taken an active interest in
political questions.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
President Jewell said yesterday The
first step probably would be the fill
ing of suit to test the constitu-
tionality of the law, he added.
In the executive session held by
the labor men last night 1t Is under
stood much time was spent in IRON
ing out friction that had developed
among the members since coming to
Washington.
Called here for the primary pur-
pose of discussing the Presidents s
proposal for tribunal to settle
wage controversies between the en-
ployers and employees. the union rep
resentatives were thrown into con-
fusion by the sudden passage of the
Cummins- Esch measure, which, for
several months, had moved so slow
ly in it's progress through Congress
that the brotherhoods were caught
by surprise when it suddenly came
to life and received the approval of
both branches of Congress.
Harmony Attained.
However, come degree of calm
ness has settled over what at one
time approached chaos in the dis
cussions of the union men, and one
decision has been made in regard
to the Presidents proposal for a
tripartite tribunal
This decision Is that 1t is unnec-
essary to have the public repre-
sented on the tribunal. "A joint
tribunal representing the roads and
employees would give the public full
protection" said Jewell. "All its
actions would be public"

Do the People Really Want to Legislate
Against the Meat Packing Industry?

1t is again urged by that there should
be new laws passed regulating the meat pack
ing industry.
Dos this represent the general feeling of the
people?
An answer be found in the testimony of
the witnesses who appeared before the Senate
Agricultural Committee few weeks since
In brief it appears that 195 persons came
before the Senate Committee Farmers pro-
ducers represented more numerousy than
any other group Eighty two of them
present. There were twenty-one ofthe so-called
smaller packers. Of the Io5 persons who ap-
peared only about twelve criticized the packers
licensing the industry.
1t clear then that there is widespread
desire for legislation aimed at the meat
packing industry.
In fact, it seems that producers and consum-
ers on the WHOLE believe at this time that such
legislation would be harmful to the interests
