Brands Connecticut Senator
as ''Lacking Moral and
Mental Caliber to Up-
hold Duties of Office
Fails of Confirmation
Wilson, Accepting Resigna-
ton, Extends Sympathy
Over ''Cross Injustice"

WASHINGTON. March John
SHELTON Williams retired Tonight as
Comptroller Of the Currency. In ac-
cepting his resignation with deep and
genuine reluctance" President Wilson
wrote Mr.. Williams that he had been
7 done gross injustice" by the way in
which the Senate Banking Committee
had handled the question Of his recon-
tirmation.
~ can only believe, however," said
the President, chat time will disclose
the injustice to everybody and that
the right verdict will be rendered by
opinion, if not by one of the houses
Of Congress.
81 have had the pleasure upon more
than one occasion Of expressing to you
the approval not only, but the admira-
tion with which I have followed the
administration Of yours Office. You can
carry away with you into private life
the satisfaction of having performed
the duties of Comptroller of the Cur
rcncy in way which has redounded
not only to the credit of this Adminis-
tration, but to the material benefit of
the financial interests of the country"
Williams Denounces Critics
The President was writing in reply
to q letter from Mr.. Williams on Feb
ruary 29, rendering his resignation,
effective tonight, and in which he took
parting shot at some of. his critics in
Congress. The retiring Comptroller
charged that certain Senator'S" who
had the power to bring his nomination
before the Senate had "dodgcd and
evaded ANONYMOUSLY"
Mr.. Williams also wrote that since
"the expressed opposition" to his con-
tfirmation and prolonged hearings be-
fore two Senate Banking committees
virtually had put him, ''by implca-
ton" under charges, he had felt that
he was "entitled to a verdict"
II have urged and pleaded in vain,'
he SAID, "discussion in the open Senate
or executive session Of any objection
TO my confirmation. My ;nformation
Is that Senator Mclean, of Connecticut.
chairman of the Banking and Currency
Committee, refused to report my case
because he promised a certain partisan
po!ltlclan, not member or the Senate,
that he would not report it,
Explains Cause Of Feud
Unfortunately, l was compelled to
put in the record Of the hearings an
incident serlousuly involving the We
raclty of the man whose favor Senator
Mclean sought to obtain at the cost
of justice and fair dealing. am in
formed, however, that the person to
whom the promise was made recently
consented to release Senator Mclean
from the obligations referred to, but
the Senator refused TO submit the mat
ter OF my confirmation to Senate
containing a majority of his own party.
He had probably learned that a
considerable number of fair-mindcd
Republican Senators had been disap-
proving the rank injustice of his
course and his petty politics. and would
have voted to confirm my nomination
even though he had reported adversely.
But AS chairman, Senator Mclean
chose to smother the confirmation in

Doctor Charges Woman
Patient Shot at Him

An alleged imaginary grievance yes
terday resulted in the arraignment Of
Mrs. Jigina Parcsi, of 1874 Tompkins
Avenue. Brooklyn, who was charged
with firing two shots at DR.. William
Lucia last October as he was leaving
his home, at $40 Forest Avenue, Ridge
wood.
Mrs Paresi was captured by the po-
lice Tuesday night, after the physi-
clans wife had told them the woman
was waiting in front of the Lucia home.
When ;he prisoner was searched at
the Richmond Hill station a revolver
was found in pocket in her skirt. De-
tectvcs said she told them the physi-
clan had ruined my life and l will kill
him yet"
p~. Lucia testified that he had at
tended Mrs. Parcsi for some time for
epilepsy, but had not succeeded in cur
ing her. The afflction, he further
stated, is accompanied some times by
delusions. He said that the woman,
who fired two shots at him as he'was
leaving his home last October, had es-
capped. Mrs. Paresi was held in $1,000
bail on a felonious assault charge and
in $500 for violating the Sullivan law,

Mail Order Sales Drop
February Business Half Of That
for Last Year

February sales Of Montgomery, Ward
& Co. and Sears, Rocbuck & Co., made
public yesterday, were slightly less
than half of those for February last
year. Sears, Roebuck & Co. reported
total sales Of $4 ,003,299 for last
month, against $2S ,067 in February,
1920, and $l5,597,766 in January of this
year.
Montgomery, Ward e. Co.'s February
sales aggregated SIS 5,46l $40, compared
to S1l,251,l 1853 in February last year.
FEBRUARY sales this year were 366 per
cent below the January totals.
In considering these figures account
must be taken Of the fact that the
price decline from last year naturally
would affect sales. 1t is believed that
the distribution Of merchandise in
units is larger than last year.
New-York tribune., 1921-03-03

the committee. am compelled to con-
clude that this Senator lacks both the
moral and mental caliber to uphold the
duties and dignity Of his office, and
that the consideration duo to those. as
we'll as the most sacred rights, must,
therefore, bc subordjnated to his
sordid and small political and personal
Purposes"
The retiring Comptroller told the
President that his resignation "under
the circumstances and before eXpira-
tion Of the time I might have occupied
the office under my present tenure. and
pending action by the Senate on my
nomination." required him to present
"this very brief compilation of the
facts and Of the xeasons for my &C
ton"
Wilson Expresses Sympathy
The President, in replying, said he
had read the letter with the greatest
sympathy"
Mr.. Williams is returning to his
home in Richmond to become chairman
Of the board Of directors of the Rich
cd Comptroller Of the Currency by
President Wilson in January, 1914.
after serving nearly year as Assist
ant Secretary Of the Treasury, and
was renominated in successive sessions
of the Senate in January, 1919; in
June, 1919; December, 1919, and again
in December, 1920, but action on these
nominations never was had. Between
some of the sessions he was continued
in office by recess appointment.
The retiring Comptroller first came
prominently before the country in 1915,
when the Riggs National Bank Of
Washington sought temporary. and per-
manent iniunctions to prevent him
from making. what the bank charged
were unlawful demands for special re-
ports of various kinds. The bank al
legged that Mr.. williams and tho then
Secretary of the Treasury, McAdoo, had
combined and conspired to wreck the
bank.
