NEW MAY RESIGN
FOR CABINET JOB
Reports Predict Appointment
Of Will Hays to Filf Va
cancy in y. S. Senate.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, November IS
Especial to The Star.)-Report of a
plan for the resignation of Harry S.
New as United States senator has
become public at French Lick and
has been in circulation among In
dianapolis politicians for several
days
The proposal as it comes from the
republican politicians gathered at
French Lick is that when Senator
New resigns National Chairman Will
Hays shall be appointed to his place
in the Senate. New would take q
cabinet job. Hays, of course. would
make the race for senator in the next
campaign to hold the place to which
he had been appointed.
1t is pointed out that New has been
very close to Harding for twenty
years. If this plan were carried out
in all probability Hays and Albert J.
beveridge would contest for the sena-
torshtp in the next campaign. The
plan presupposes, of course, that Gov
elect McCray would appoint Hays
to the senatorship when New
resigns for the cabinet job. Senator
watson is very close to McCray.
While there is nothing to indicate
that plans will be carried out. il is
being much discussed.
All indications are that Mr.. Rev.
eridge will make the race for the
senatorship nomination in the next
campaign.

HANG NEGRO To BRIDGE.
White Woman's Assailant Is TaLan
From Jail by Wise, Va. Mob

BRISTOL, Va.-Tenn., November TX
Dave Hunt. negro, aged TWENTY-FIVE
years. captured after an exciting
chase on passenger train and held
for the assault Friday of an aged
white woman, was taken from the
Jail at Wise. Va, by a mob of about
seventy-five men and hanged to a
bridge near Kent Junction, where the
crime is said to have been COM
mitted. Entrance was gained to the
Jail by breaking down the doors. The
negro was taken to the scene of the
lynching in an automobile.
The negro's victim, a woman. sixty
years old, was assaulted near her
home Friday afternoon. Shortly after
the crime she tagged the interstate
passenger train as it came by and
told members of the crew that she had
been attacked by a negro, whom they
could see walking on the railway
right of way some distance ahead.
The train started after the negro,
who headed for the mountainside
when he saw that he was being pur-
sued. The trainmen left their train,
took to the woods and captured the
fugitive.

SAY DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT
FASTENED ADRIATlC PACT
by PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, November 15-It is believed
in diplomatic circles here that it
was the democratic defeat in the
presidential election in the United
States that enabled the Italians and
Jugoslavs to reach an agreement on
the Adriatic settlement. This agree
ment had previously been impossible
because. as the Jugoslavs said, they
could not be less JugosIav than
President Wilson.
Upon the democratic defeat by an
overwhelming vote the Italians
threatened Jugoslavia with a strict
application of the treaty of London,
which accords to Italy a large part
of the Dalmatian coast, and to which
both France and Britain are bound
by formal signatures.
Under these circumstances the Jugo-
slavs, believing themselves unable
any longer to count on American sup
port, were obliged to accept Italy's
program of maximum concessions,
and this, moreover, they seem to have
done with good grace.

?. 0. MAY Be HOST
| At CITIZEN SESSION
Federation Will Be Received
as First to Be Shown
Postal Activities.

City Postmaster NJ. o. Chance today
invited the Federation Of Citizens
Associations to hold its next meeting
at the Washington city post office,
the regular session to be followed by
a tour of inspection Of the post office
This invitation marks the inaugura-
ton Of a plan to acquaint the people
of the city, especially members of
civic organizations, with the work of
the Washington city post office and
its 1,78o employees, who handle mil
lions Of letters and parceis every year.
Special Meeting Expected.
It was indicated today that the
Federation OF Citizens Associations
will call a special meeting of the
organization to accept the hospitality
chairmen of the post Office committees
of the various citizens associations
to attend.
The Washington Chamber of Com
merce, Board Of Trade and other
bodies will in, turn be asked to hold
a meeting at the post Office, where a
commodiOds room will be provided.
After each meeting, beginning with
that of the Federation of Citizens As
,sociations. the group will be divided
into groups Of a dozen persons, and
each unit will be shown through the
post office under the guidance of Of
ficials.
Thus citizens will have first-hand
opportunity to see the work Of the post
Office at it's busiest time. between 6
o'clock pm. and midnight. 1t is be-
tween these hours that the flow Of mail
in and out of Washington is at it's
heaviest.
Great Flow Of Mail.
The Washington city post Office last
year handled $4,000. 900 outgoing let
ters and postal cards. a number which
was balanced by an approximate num-
ber coming into the city. In addition
to this great flow of first-class mat
ter there were hundreds of thousands
of parcel post packages going both
ways.
The local post office does a great
business in the handling of govern
ment postal matter. an amount which
does not count directly on the Off
cial postal business of the office.
Credit is given the office, however.
for this mail handled free, under the
recent postal reclassification act.

Invited To INSPECT
WORK At LIBRARY
Dr.. BoWerman Believes
House Subcommittee Wis
it Would Mean Aid.

DR.. George F. Bowerman, librarian
of the Public Library, today invited
Chairman Charles r. Davis of the sub.
committee on the District of the House
appropriations committee to bring
his subcommittee down to see the
work being done by the Public Library
and its branches. Dr. Bowerman said
he believed that improved service will
result when the appropriating COM
mittee comes to full appreciation OF
the scope and class of work that the
library is doing The library is now
taxing care of the maximum number
OF patrons to which it can possibly
give efficient service, he said.
DR.. Bowerman and the library trus-
library of the National Capital open
all day every day in the week. The
regular hours of the library for a num-
Der OF years have been am. until 8
p.m., but all last year and thus far this
year the library has had to be closed
at pm. every Wednesday because it
has not had sufficient force to give
the full day. It is now deplorably
short-handed to meet the demands Of
its patrons, DR.. Bowerrnan said.
The most notable improvement in the
norary service aimed at during the
next year Will be to establish a branch
In Southeast Washington. The District
commissioners, on the Recommendation
OF the library trustees and with the CO.
operation Sf Secretary Daniels, are en-.
deavoring to get the old naval hospital
at 9Th street and Pennsylvania avenue
southeast transferred for use as a
library snbstation. Secretary Daniels
has agreed that he will not interpose
any objection to the transfer of this
property from the Navy Department to
the District government for such use.
The installation Of a technical di-
vision which would be of especial
value to employees of the navy yard
and increase, their efficiency in their
work for Uncle Sam is to be a feature
Of this substation. Secretary Daniels
is particularly pleased with this plan.
AS 1t Is many employees of the navy
yard now are using the technical di-
vision for research work and study
on naval engineering problems. and
II the library branch could be- estab-
lished nearer their homes it would
be big convenience to them and
give them more time for study during
the limited time the library is omen
evenings.
There is a special bill already be-
fore Congress asking authority for
the acceptance of $4,000 from the
Carnegie Foundation for the erec-
ton of a branch library in the south
east section on a site to be donated
Chairman Mapes of the House Dis
trict committee is fostering this bill
at the request of the library trustees.
1t will receive early consideration
when Congress reassembles.

He pointed out that hitherto int
migration was restricted under a
voluntary agreement because 1T
was realized that restriction was
prejudicial to Japan's prestige.
The present effort to make re-
striction statutory. he said, was an
act OF fnfidelity to Japanese Amer
lean friendship.
The former premier believed that
Washington would be able to stop
Californian measures by enlisting
public opinion Of the whole coun-
try. If Japan's appeals to Amer
ica's sense of international morality
failed, the speaker continued. only
force remained. Japan sincerely
desired a solution of the problem.
he concluded, fearing that other

Strict legislation regulating "loan

opinion of Representative Benjamin
K. Focht Of Pennsylvania, ranking

Representative Focht is chairman
of special subcommittee of the Dis

brokers, of which Representative L.

matter can be settled right. He point
ed out that the Public Utilities Com

to call in so-called experts" and
after the testimony of these experts"

The House District committee is
anxious to reach solution which will
do away with the repeated increase Of

a stable rate to the public. He points
out that the problem is of particular
interest to Congress because the ma
jority of those who use the street cars
are the people on whom Uncle Sam de-
