Washington, March 15.-For the

Until the office is filled no one

the passport bureau.
No one" was the reply.
why can't the president sign
them?" he asked.
Maybe he could. but he's not
signing any today" was the re-
| sponSe.
1t further developed today that
the president had been advised by
the attorney general that he could
not designate another cabinet off
cer under the Overman act to serve
temporarily as head of the State
department. The Department of
Justice held that the act provided
for changes of cabinet jurisdiction
only for conduct of the war.
Not at War, Yet No Peace.
This Interpretation involved the
conclusion that the government is
not now conducting a war, although
there has been no declaration OF
peace, in contrast to the opinion
held last fall when the Lever act,
another war measure, was used as
an instrument against the coal
strike.
The president, it is understood,
had planned to name Secretary OF
War Baker as temporary secretary
of state under the Overman act, but
the attorney generals opinion put ar
end to this.
The senate foreign relations com.
mittee did nothing today with the
Colby nomination and the prospect
is that there will be no secretary of
state for some time.
Meanwhile the exodus of the
thirsty to Cuba and tours to Europe
are held up.

Ministers Request
"Sins of the Flesh"
Be Not Forbidden

Chicago Tribune -Omaha Bee Leased wire
Chicago, March l5.-Methodist
ministers are tugging at the leash
provided by paragraph 280 of the
general laws of the church, which
deals with "imprudent acts" At
a meeting of $50 pastors Monday
there was not a dissenting vote
when a resolution passed. asking
that paragraph 280 be abolished.
This law forbids ministers at
tending theaters, indulging in al
cohol. dancing, card-playing and
gambling. Twelve ministers ex-
pressed their views, all to the same
effect, which may be summarized
as follows:
This law does not help the
church. On the contrary, it keeps
away persons who otherwise
might belong to the church. Min
listers are human and appreciate
the enjoyment derived from thea
ters-and other things"
Congregational ministers at
their meeting decided to lose no
time in raising their $1,000. 600
quota for the benefit Of the new
inter-church movement. Eight
millions Of the 100000 quota
OF the Congregational church was
raised at a recent drive and ii is

Basis Of Agreement Reached
Between Governments of
Kapp and Ebert, the Latter
To Retain Presidency.
JOINT DECLARATION Is
ISSUED AGAINST STRIKE
WaIkouts and General Disor-
der Following Appeal to
Workmen Brings. Two Fac
tionS Into Accord.

Berlin, March Is. - The counter
revolution in Germany appears to-
night to have reached the end of
the road. There is strong prob
ability that shortly one government
will be in control and that President
Ebert will come back to Berlin with
his ministers.
A basis of agreement between
the government set up by DR.. Wolf
gang Kapp as chancellor and that
of President Ebert is enunciated in a
declaration issued by the present
Berlin government today. An
nouncement is made that negotia-
tions toward settlement have been
opposed between the two govern
ments at the instance of President
Ebert and his associates. There is,
however, no direct confirmation OF
this from Ebert, who is understood
to be at Stuttgart.
Chancellor Kapp is agreeable to
continuance of the present imperial
president" who is Friedrich Ebert;
he renounces formation of new
ministry and places direction Of af-
fairs in the hands of the under-sec-
retaries of state.
II, Agreement Of Kapp.
The agreement as set forth by
Chancellor Kapp provides for
cabinet, which shall include profess
sional ministers, or, experts; cleo
tions within two months for mem-
bers Of the reichstag and the Prus-
sian national assembly and fsubse-
quently an election for imperial
president" by the people - until
which time Ebert shall hold Office.
One significant clause in the pro-
nouncement says "the new and old
governments shall issue a joint dec
laration that under present condi-
tons general strike is a crime
against the German people.
Herein lies the explanation of the
proposed settlement, for the general
strike has proved an effective
weapon. Germany already has felt
its sinister effect, for the strike in
Berlin and many other principal
cities has cut off supplies, telephone,
light and heat.
E5ert Called Out Workers
1t was President Ebert and his
ministers who called on the social
lists, the workmen and all the people
to declare a general strike, and
there was an instant response. Labor
jfercely resisted usurpation of the
reactionary government. Vast num-
bers of men left their work and
serious disorders occurred.
Chancellor Kapp and his support
ers announced they would deal
harshly with strikes or passive re-
sistance to the existing order in
Berlin. One leader of the counter
revolution said:
I'VE won't knuckle down to the
socialists and workmen. who think
they can run the country"
Notwithstanding the government
threat it has been evident that
neither DR.. Kapp nor Major Gem
eral Won Luettwitz was willing to
put his warnings I'd test. Blood
shed would have been inevitable,
plunging the country possibly into
a state of anarchy and giving COM
munists the opportunity they had

cial.)-The attorney generals Office
has filed motion in the United
States circuit court in St. Louis for
the dismissal of the appeal of Allen

proper jurisdiction lies in direct ap..
appeal to the federal court and not

was convicted of the murder OF
Grammer's mother in law, Mrs.

court will be lenient. Your offense
