the case of Baron Shidehara. Per-

Long before Justice Finch ascended
the bench in the Supreme Court yester-
day to hear further testimony in the
divorce suit Of w. f. D. Stokes against
Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes the S R O
sign was in use against the great army
of the curious who have been trying to
crowd their way into the courtroom.
Not caring about the polite assurance
of court attendants that the room
already held its full quota, the men
and women remained obdurate about
their right as citizens to enter the
courtroom, which made necessary a
signal of distress that brought more
attendants.
More back stairs testimony was in
troduced yesterday in support of the
charges by the millionaire plaintiff that
his much younger wife hac been indis-

During her stay on the stand Mrs.

Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee, said this afternoon he was more
than ever convinced of the need of q
careful and omprehensive investiga-
ton of the railroad question, with spe-
clal reference to operating expenses
and how these could be reduced. He
does not believe labor should be made
to bear the load of the reductions in
operating expenses which are consid
cred necessary.
"If the Pennsylvania or any other
railroad proposes to reduce wages,
said Senator Cummins, without first
carrying the matter to the Railway
Labor Board, it will act unlawfully
and very inadvisedly."
The investigation which Senator
Cummins proposes will be provided
for in a resolution which he will in.
troduce at the opening Of the extrs
session.
1t is not expected there will be op
position to it. Senator Cummins an
nounced some days ago that he pro
posed to make the inquiry and direct
it primarily to the question of how
the operating expenses of the road.
could be reduced. This will involve
the question of how far wages can bt
reduced and whether, as matter o.
fact, the operating expenses canno
be lowered more effectively and salts

Col. Harvey to
Go to London
AsAnlbassador
Appointment Expected To
Be Announced Officially
Soon and Confirmation
Is Regarded as Assured
Aided in Harding Victory
Crissinger's Case a Prece-
dent for Selection of
Democrat for Position
From The Tyibuns's Washington Bureou

From The Tyibuns's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 10.-Colonel
George Harvey has been selected by
President Harding as mbassador to
Great Britain and has accepted the
position, according to unofficial infor-
nation which has been disclosed here.
1t is expected that an official announce
menc will soon be made.
Colonel Harvey has been mentioned
repeatedly in connection with the am
bassa dorship to London. 1t has been
well understood ever since the election
President Harding had under consid-
Grafton for high diplomatic honors.
AS the editor Of Harvey's Weekly
Colonel Harvey was one of the most
effective opponents of the Democratic
Adm-l. l.;stration. He did much through
his editorials, in the opinion of Repub-
lican managers, toward the success Of
the Republican campaign. His scath-
ing denunciations of the Wilson poll
cies have commanded national atten-
ton.
Colonel Harvey was born in Vermont
in 1864. He holds the degree of LII D.
from the University of Vermont and
several other educational institu-
tions. He began his newspaper career
as a reporter on the Springfield Re-
publican, was managing editor of the
New York World in 1S91-'93 and for
some years after that was constructor
and president of various electric rail-
ways. In 1899 he purchased the North
American Review and became widely
known as it's editor He calls himself
an independent Democrat. He was one
of the original Wilson men, but soon
broke with Mr.. Wilson and became one
of his most caustic critics and unre
lenting political antagonists.
Colonel Harvey's home is in Deal
credited to that state, though he has
an Office in New York and spends his
time chiefly between New York and
Washington.
The selection of Colonel Harvey is
vouchcd for in authoritative quarters.
The fact that he is a Democrat is not
likely to interfere with his confirma-
ton. The fact that the President has
selected a Democrat for the London
post end that he mas also chosen a
Democrat, D. R. Crissinger, of Marion,
for the position of Comptroller of the
Currency, indicates purpose on the
part of Mr.. Harding to give due recog-
milton to members of the opposite
party who joined with Republicans in
contributing to his great majority over

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Decision
of the Pennsylvania ard other rail
roads to reduce wages Of employees
is certain to give. rise to considera-
tion in Congress Of the question of
whether additional railroad legislation
is needed.
Not only will there be an inquiry
into railroad affairs of a sweeping
nature by the Senate Interstate Com

make an inquiry of its own. Members
of the House committee said to-day
there had been no decision to do this,
but the subject had been discussed
informally.

wages will precipitate discussion of

LONDON. March 10 (By The Asso-
clatad Press. - The decisions of the
supreme Coucil were lengthily dis.
cussed in the House of Commons to-
day. Main interest centercd in YER.
bal duel between John Robert Clvnes
Labor member and former Food Con.
troller, and Premier Lloyd George. Mr.
Clynes, IN behalf Of the Labor partv
challenged the Premier's change of at.
titude in having previously declared
that reparations were only possible by
restoring Germany's economic position
ana now agreeing to military coercion
policy which could only mean create,
unemployment, greater debt and great
er taxation.
Mr.. Clynes contended that the Allies
acted precipitately in refusing to grant
! Germany delay to make fresh propo.
sails. He thought they might have in.
voked the aid of the United States as
arblter in matter of this kind
Mr.. Lloyd George defended his
policy. He argued that Germany's ex-

not believe that she would risk the
loss of that trade by refusing to pay

had lost the whole of her Eastern trade

The Premier repeated that he would
have greatly preferred an agreed set
tlement and would have been willing to
discuss reasonable proposals, but it was
clear that DR.. Slmons, head of the Ger
man delegation was not empowered to
present such proposals. Referring to
the bill to impose a 80 per cent levy
which will be introduced in Parliamen Mt
tomorrow, he admitted that it would
work more smoothly with than without
an agreement, but he added: at will
work a cash agreement or none."
Both the Board of Trade and Gus
toms Department, said Mr.. Lloyd
George, were satisfied that there would
DC no ulWculty IN tracing the origin
Of goods, and no special machinery to
carry out the plan would be needed.
II believe that when Germany real

tude," continued the Premier, "there
will be an agreement. She has every
thing to lose and nothing to gain by
resistance. She may talk about stop

countries, but if she does she will
have such unemployment in Germany
as no great Industrial country in the
world ever witnessed"
