Pershing May Be
Chief Of Staff
Harding Expected to Remove
!, One Of Most Grotesque
Anomalies il Army.
BY Universal Service.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Gen. John
]. Pershing is to be the next chief
OF staff of the United States army,
according to information in high
army circles.
The present chief OF staff. Maj
Gen. Peyton c. March, will cease
automatically to be entitled to that
rank or position, and will send his
resignation to President Harding
probably on March d.
Army chiefs say the designation
by President Harding Of General
Pcrshing as chief OF staff will re-
move one of the most grotesque
anomalies in an army establishment.
General Pershing is the generalissi-
mo of the whole army of the United
States, but he cannot issue any order,
except by leave OF a major general
who happens to be chief OF staff.
There will be nothing incongruous,
the authorities say, in General Perish.
ing being generalissimo and chief
OF staff at the same time. In fact,
there is not much honor or glory
in being general over an army with
out power to command anything or
anybody.
1t is understood that when Gen.
cral March retifes from office of
chief of staff he will get some as
signment worthy of his work in the
army during the period OF the war.

upon the legislature of our state
some measures which in my humble
opinion will aid materially i'll the
conduct of the institutions which our
state maintains for its wards.
AS former efficiency engineer for
the state board of commissioners OF
state institutions, it was MY duty to
visit our state institutions and ex-
anime the condition of the physical

casion to become fairly familiar with
needs of our institutions as regards
buildings, heating plants, lighting
systems. water supply and plumbing.
No Criticism.
Before proceeding further | want
to say here and now that what ]
have to say is not offered as adverse
criticism to the management, either
past or present, Of our institutions,
either at the institutions themselves
or of the members of the board of
control. On the contrary, l have
only the highest regard for all Of
these officers, and l personally feel
that each is giving and has given to
the institutions his best efforts to
make them all that they should be.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Five mem
bers of the house. one from Ohio and
the others from the south, voted to-
day to cut the $4,000 appropriation
for erection of grandstand at the
capitol from which congress braves
the bleak March weather during the
inaugural ceremony.
Against this handful, 285 members
voted for the fund, so that the long
established custom might prevail
The snow was clinging to the first
pile of lumber, stacked outside, when
debate started. coincident with an
other furry of talk in the senate on
proposal to eliminate all expensive
and ostentatious inaugural show
while SO many people in Europe are
starving.
Fight for Simplicity.
By its action the house made pos
sible the carrying out of the part OF
congress in the celebration. 1t has
nothing to do with any pageant
downtown or an inaugural ball.
against which there has been protest
on the ground that the pension build
ing. desired for the night festivities,
is needed for the conduct of the gov
ernment pension business. Senator
Borah, republican of Idaho, leader
in the fight for simplicity indicated
he would keep it up in an effort to
prevent other appropriations.
Nobody except congress and its
friends will sit in the grandstand. the
10000 seats being equally distributed
Representative Bianton OF Texas
protested against the expenditure
but on the first vote he stood alone
in support OF an amendment making
the amount $4,000.
Texan Gets Laugh.
There was roar from both sides,
several democrats urging their
party not to be swayed by the plea
OF money saving for such an event.
Declaring President-elect Harding
was averse to spectacular inau-
gural, Representative Reavis, repub-
lican, Nebraska, insisted time hon
ored ceremony should not be stopped
by the cry of "demagogues." Repre-
sentative Hudspeth of Texas brought
applause by the statement that the
people OF Texas who voted against
Senator Harding did not subscribe
to Mr.. Blanton's views.
Although members expressed d
wish to agree with the president
elect in modestly requesting sim
pie inaugural, they contended this
was the peoples show and that they
were entitled to have it presented
on the same scale as heretofore.
Voting with Representative Blan-
ton to reduce the appropriation were
Representatives Aswell. Louisiana;
Sherwood, Ohio. and OuinI and

'O'Callaghan
Starts Row
At Capitol
Department Heads Differ on
Who Is in Authority to
Rule on Case of Mayor
# OF Cork.
Davis Opposes Entry

Washington, Jan. 10.-Passport
restrictions will rotlbe waived by the
State department. to permit entrance
to the United States of Daniel J.
O'Callaghan, lord mayor OF Cork,
who ON his arrival last week at New
port News as stowaway and with
out passport, was temporarily adj
1nitted on parole by the Labor de-
partment.
The decision announced today by
Acting Secretary Davis. brought
forth the assertion by labor officials
that jurisdiction still rested with the
secretary OF labor. This indicated a
continuation OF the controversy be-
tween the two departments.
Sends Wilson Opinion.
Secretary Davis said that he con-
CURED in the opinion of the solicitor
OF his department as forwarded 10
him today. that there was no reason
kto make an exception in the case Of
O'Callaghan as regards admission
without passport. He said he was
communicating his decision to Sec
retary Wilson and added the intima-
ton that his department, acting un-
der the wartime powers given the
president to regulate entry OF aliens
might recommend that the Depart
megt OF Justice be called upon to de-
port the Irish mayor.
Labor department officials assert
ed Secretary Wilson did not recog-
tize that the case OF OGallaghan
had yet come within jurisdiction OF
the State department inasmuch as
he had not formally referred it To
Secretary Davis. Secretary Wilson
had not begun his consideration oi
the case today and it was said he
would not take it under advisenent
until it had come to him through
regular channels. At the State de-
partnent' it was said delay of the
secretary OF labor in rendering a de-
cision after after having paroled
O'Callaghan would permit the lord
mayor to accomplish his mission of
testifying before the commission
from the committee of 100 investi-,
eating the Irish question regardless
of whether he may be eventually de-
ported.
Labor Bureau Probe.
Labor department officials declared
that should the secretary OF labor
find O'Ca1laghan inadmissible on
Immigration grounds, it woufd GOT
be necessary for the secretary TO
refer the waving Of passport re-
strictions to the State department
Should he find the lord mayor ad-
p,issible however, he would then be
Called On to decide whether the ex-
Ciusion Of OfCallaghan for having
entered without a passport was a
question to be passed upon by the
State department.
While the State department. first
held that O'Callaghan's case had
been brought before the department
by the action OF the immigration in
spector in Norfolk, in requesting ad-
vice, Secretary Davis later stated
he had amended this decision and
would not take the case under ad-
visement until, it had been brought
to his attention formally by the Sec
retary of labor. When Secretary
Davis learned Secretary Wilson was
not disposed to consult the State de.
partment and that he bad paroled
O'Callaghan he again amended his
decision and asked for an opinion
from the solicitor.

In the first place, | will say with
