Frank Willis. of Ohio, the man who
nominated Warren G. Harding for
President at the Republican National
Convention held in Chicago last June,
has been made to feel the Presidential
sting. Senator Willis wanted his
friend and political henchman, George
Staffer, of Ottawa, Ohio, appointed col

Charles F. Nauts for the place. Nauts
had the endorsement of Walter F.
Brown, President Harding's personal
representative on the commission to
reorganiZe the various executive de
partments. When the name of Nauts
was sent TO the Senate, Willis declar-

he would never be confirmed. But the
President sent for Willis, the two had

the White House saying he had with
drawn his objection to Nauts. It is
said that Willis has been promised
something equally as good

Summoned to Explain Charges

Charles s. Lobingicr, L. S. Judge Of
the Consular Court at Shanghai
China, is in trouble with his home gov
ernment. Serious charges have been
preferred against Judge Lobingier
and as result he has been summoned
from China to answer the accusations
made against him. He is now in
Washington preparing his case for
submission to Attorney General
Daugherty who was called upon by
the State Department to make :
thorough investigation and report intc
the matter. Among other things it is
said that the Judge was unduly harsh
with a certain lawyer who appeared
before him. that Judge Lobingier
sentenced the practitioner to six
months in Jail and to pay fine of
$4,000 for contempt of court when
under the rules the sentence should
have been for net more than thirty
days with Il fine Of $1,000. When the
lawyer served his jail sentence, he
came to Washington and preferred
charges against the judge with the Of
ticials of the State Department. The
outcome of the Investigation now un-
der way by the Attorney General is
awaited with interest. Judge Lobln-
gier has been serving as Judge al
Shanghai since February 8, 1914.

er and troduce the state and its peo-
pie.

certain what basis there is for these
figures, but have been unable to get
