MUNSEYTREASURER
IS FREED BY COURT

Arthur Is. Claxton. former treasurer
Of the Munsey Trust Company, left
the court this morning a free man.
exonerated of a charge of embezzling
$4,000 of the funds of the company,
for which he had been on trial before
jury in Chief Justice McCoy's court
for the last week.
The court directed a verdict of not
guilty on the ground that the Gov
eminent had failed to prove its con-
tcntion that ClaXton had committed
"embezzlement," as he was charged
in the indictment.
The court stated that the essential
elements Of the crime which IL was
alleged ClaSton had committed had
not been proved: that no money had
disappeared from the Munscy Trust
Company, and that the prosecution
had based its case on matter of false
entries in bookkeeping.
Chief Justice Mccoy said that the
confession should not have been ad-
mitted, but that he did SO to see
whether the Government would be
able to prove it's case in keeping with
tho confession.

SEN. SMOOT KILLING.
PAY REVISION BILL.
All Attempts to Bring Report Up
Are Blocked BY Utah
laWmaker.

Under the leadership OF Senator
Smoot. a policy OF killing on" the re-
classification commission report has
been adopted by certain members OF
the Senate.
All efforts to get action on the re-
port have failed so far. The Jones
measure TO put into effect the recon-
mendations OF the rehabilitation
commission is embsihed and buried
in the pigeon holes Of the Appropria-
lions Committee, in which Senator
Smoot Is a power.
Even the attempt to preserve the
records of the commission in the Civil
Service Commission has been blocked
three times within the past six weeks.
Senator Jones OF New Mexico has
tried repeatedly to have this resolu-
ton brought up for consideration, but
failure has met his efforts.
Senator Jones has repeatedly called
the attention of the Senate TO the
fact that the work OF the reclassifica-
ton commission Will be entirely
wasted unless its records are kept up
TO date by some dministratiye
agency. A certain ring Of Republican
Senators has cut him of whenever he
has tried to obtain consideration for
his resolution.
Senator Jones recently presented to
the Senate resolutions adopted by the
Federal Employees Union, showing
their confidence in the good faith OF
Congress, with reference TO the re-
classification commissions work, was
being rapidly undermined.

land Stanford University. Both were
star students of geology. and their
brilliant TRANSACTIONS of geological
work. which they elaborated in, are
responsible for their reputation In the
scientific world.
When his work as a mining enEi-
neer carried him into unknown
lands Mr.. Hoover found his wife a
ready companion. Through Asia, Aus
tralia and even portions of Africa
they have Travelled together.
When they went through the Boxer
rebellion together they had their

selves great figures in the World

FEDERAL PENSION BILL
AGAIN UP IN CONFERENCE
House and Senate Leaders to Dis
cuss Sterling-Lehlbach Meas
ure This Afternoon.

What is hoped to be the final con-
ference of the Sterling-Lehlbach re-
tirement bill for civil service en-
ployes will be held by House and Sem
ate conferees at 3 o'clock this after
noon.
Beyond venturing the hope that the
conference will result in some def
mite action, Congressman Lehlbach
would make no prediction OF how
the retirement question would be
settled.
Thus far. neither House nor Senate
conferees have put forward q definite
compromise suggestion.
So far as compromise is con-
cerned, If the Senate conferees take
the initiative. they will probably sug-
gest sixty-eight years, instead OF
seventy, with siXty-five years as the
age for retirement of the great mass
OF Government clerks.

HIGH PRICES CAUSE
'SPUDLESS' MENUS
Washington Restaurants Drop
ping Potatoes Because Of
Decline In Demand.

The Washington public has fnally
done more than talk and whine about
the high cost OF living and has de-
cided TO act, according TO evidences
In downtown restaurants today.
No potatoes" signs have been
prominently displayed at the counters
OF more than a score OF eating places.
Behind such signs there Is an inter
esting little story.
With the steadily soaring price Of
potatoes, portions OF this staple edi-
BILE were reduced In proportion. For
ten and fifteen cents a really fair
sized dish OF fried. mashed or French
potatoes could de obtained.
But the market price of potatoes
shot up to nearly IS per bushel for
old and about IS per bushel for new
"spuds."
Restaurants started to cut the size
OF the dishes and patrons commenced
to howl Finally an order OF French
fried dwindled TO several mere
threads.
During the past several weeks Il
was a common thing to hear in most
any restaurant the remark II will
do without potatoes IL / only get
spoonful for Is cents"
Patrons stopped ordering potatoes.
Restaurant owners hesitated TO
charge more for the food. which they
claimed was the only thing they
could do IL they were to serve larger
portions at the prevailing market
prices OF potatoes.
Therefore the signs mo Potatoes"
1t Is the first time within the recol-
lection OF restaurant proprietors that
potatoes have been cut from meunes.

they claim, is a radical" instead of
regular" and the REGULARS" are
afraid.
Herbert Hoover, likewise, accord
ing to Senator Penrose, could never
be nominated by any Republican con-
vention." So, unless the Senator has
changed his mind, which is not con-
sidered likely, or the former Food
Administrator is able to ride rough
shod over> the Republican machine,
his chances for winning the nomina-
ton must be regarded as slight.
Harding Out OF II.
Senator Warren G.. Harding of
Ohio Is said to have eliminated him
self by winning a bare plurality in
his native State Of Ohio and by run
ming a poor last in the Indiana pri-
maries of Tuesday. while Governor
Lowden, OF Illinois, is not so much
talked of now as he was, though still
considered in the running as a COM
promise candidate. Their strength
must go to somebody. To Wood ?
Scarcely. Wood invaded their States.
To Johnson? Improbable. johnson
is not a regular"
Meantime General Wood leads the
field so far as instructed delegates
are concerned. Col. William c. Proc
ter, of Cincinnati, Woods manager.
today wired Washington headquar,
tiers claiming 2S7 delegates already
committed to the Genera. not count
ing Indiana which State holds a con =
vention next Wednesday. Should this
convention feel morally bound to in
struct its delegation for the winner
Of the plurality, Wood, of course,
would profit.
Claims OF Cen. Wood.
Woods hackers claim lie will so
into tho convention with not less
than 800 votes. One may therefore
be certain he will not quit without a
night.
Hiram Johnsons friends claim the
Country's popular vote is behind him
and that recent primaries and con-
Ncntions show it; but they must tight
the regular" republicans and the
Wood crowd at the same time.
Tho Hoovcritcs are attacked on
both TANKS. On the right they arc
b"Sct by tho Fcnrosc republicans, on
tho loft by the Johnsonians, and
whether Il bargain could be struck
between his and Woods followers, in
the event one or the other saw his
own nomination had become impos-
aiblC, remains to he seen. Hoover is
undoubtedly being mentioned now as
a compromise candidate. though old
timers agree there would have to be
- lot Of compromising
The noNt four weeks will see some
stupondous nEhtinE among the can
didates OF the g. O. l.. Some profess
TO believe the situation will reach an
impassC, that no compromise is pos
mblc between the candidates now
leading tn. field, and that only a dark
horse can win.
And then there arc those who fore
sec a split party, rump conventions
and several tickets put out to cap
turc the national vote.

chology TO understand that the CALI
fornia Senator will not be nominated
with the consent of that element.
Woods Victories indicative.
General Woods defeat of Senator
Johnson in Indiana has no more
changed the situation than his de-
feat of the Californian in Maryland
and New Jersey The Johnson peo-
pie regard themselves as potential
victors in all three of those States.
They contend that their candidate
went into each of those three con-
tests without organization, without
money and with nothing but bare
fists and by pulling a strong vote in
the face OF three alright political
machines he has won, whether or not
the majorities or the pluralities are
in his favor.
Already the Johnsonites are crying
fraud in New Jersey. They may have
cried money and machine in Mary
land and they are crying money,
machine and diabolical combinations
against the Senator In Indiana. 1t is
proving difficult for the Old Guard
leaders to argue with men in such a
frame of mind as are the Johnson
cl8nsmen.
On the race OF tne returns lhe Jer-
sey, Maryland and Indiana primaries
are on the side of General Wood. But
as a matter OF fact, he has not been
greatly strengthened by the action
of these three States. He will re-
ceive most OF the votes on the first
ballot at Chicago after which the
leaders in the three States will re-
gard their obligation as having been
discharged and they will be open to
overtures from the masters OF the
convention.
