FINAL, SAYS HOOVER

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.--Herbert
Hoover today announced his ac-
ceptance Of the post of Secre-
tary OF Commerce In President
elect Harding's cabinet Is not
definite, but depended upon his
being given free hand In
making the Department of
Commerce larger and more
important factor in the govern
ment, and upon his being al
lowed to direct relief work for
starving European children.
Hoover said he had submitted
to Harding certain proposals
for reorganizing the Depart
ment of Commerce. which he
termed at present but a group
of bureaus OF a scientific char
acter not directly connected
with our commerce" He said
American prosperity during the
next four or Ave years depends
largely upon our foreign trade
and that there were vast op-
portunities for establishing a
government department that
would render a great service to
American trade.
Hoover pointed out that he
had accepted commission from
a large body Of the American
people to direct relief work for
the starving children OF Central
Europe. numbering some $780,
600. and that he did not be-
lieve 1t propitious to abandon
that work.

Mr.. McAdoo so informed several
among his former colleagues In in
formal talks before his return to
New York today. Mr.. McAdoo, with
Mrs. McAdoo, has been white
House guest, and lunched with the

time. Lets wait and see what will
happen"

One bell boy In one OF the down

ago put him In the hospital The
bell boy told the prohibition agents
that he did not see how people are
fighting TO get this stun when Paris
green Is easier to get and is much
cheaper.
Taxi drivers who secuted the out
side of the hotels were fagrant vio-
lators OF the prohibition law, the
prohibition agents said. but IL was .
hard matter to obtain enough evi-
dence on them to warrant arresting
enough evidence to arrest one taxi
driver.

the evidence he had accumulated he
was certain that In some OF the hotels

This was the great pacifist's esti-
mate Of Henry Ford and his peace eN-
pedition.
Now Henry Ford. defending his
anti-Semitic agitation. explains that
IL is but part of his peace cam
paign.
"It is my desire to bring about
world peace" he says, MY life is de-
voted to peace. Peace is the real pur-
pose behind this educational cam
paign."
Since Henry Ford's anti-Jewish
propaganda Is a continuation of his
peace expedition, II Will be interest
ing to sketch a few outstanding in
cidents connected with the farcical
historic cruise.
ONE OF FORD's GUESTS.
1 was one of Mr.. Ford's guests on
his peace ship and / had occasion to
talk with him during the voyage
across the Atlantic. He impressed me
then as a rather sincere, earnest
man, with noble impulses, but simple
minded and ignorant to an amazing
degree. In my conversations with
him on board the peace ship l noticed
that though he talked of peace, his
mind always reverted to his motor
and to his tractor which he was eager
to LAUGH in Russia. He displayed an
astounding lack Of knowledge OF con-
ditions In Europe. In fact. he seemed
to know less than n normal ten-yenr-
old schooIbcy about the old world he
set out to save.
When I Joined the Ford peace
party l expressed my faith in the
idea OF advertising peace in the neu-
trail countries. I believed that Henry
Ford had n definite plan of action,
that he had certain assurances from
authoritative quarters that such n
peace expedition might prove help
full.

parture some of us began to realize

unseen hand from behind the scenes.
Those who would not be whipped into
line were regarded as rebels" while
those who would be servile were to
be rewarded, and n number of the
"reformers" preferred to be servile.
Henry Ford was the most pathetic
figure among the crowd of pathetic
figures. The blunders made by the
Ford peace party turned 1t into a

you enable them to say truly that
they can't talk even in Jail?
Needless to say, IL a man ad-
vocates violence against an individ-
ual or against the Government,
he should be punished exactly as
though he had fired a gun or
thrown brick at the individual or
the head of the Government. But,
considering the wording of our
Constitution, talk that does not
suggest violence should be allowed.
The man forbidden to talk makes
another plan-ask Russia.

Special Despatch 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD
SYRACUSE. Feb. 2S.-Mrs. Alice I.
Lattimer. the trained nurse who was
arrested in New York Sunday night, is
still being detained at Police Head
quarters here. but the police say that
no charges have been made against
her in connection with their investiga
ton into the treatment Of her patient,
Mrs Ruth Crawford. 1t is alleged
that Mrs. Crawford was kept strapped
to her bed for more than year. and
that she was given food containing
choral hydrate. which is poison II
taken in sufficient quantities.
Mrs. I.attimer was questioned all
morning by Martin L. Cadin Chief OF
the Syracuse Police Department, and
later in the day made a detailed am
davit in which she denied all response
bility for the bottle of chloral hydrate
found In Mrs. Crawford's room She
declared that the medicine was pre-
scribed for Mrs. Crawford by her father,
| Dr William D. Towsley. at whose home
Mrs. Crawford was Ill for more than
year before being removed to her own
home by Mrs. Lattimer. This statement
is denied by DR.. Towsley. He said this
afternoon that he does not recall ever
prescribing medicine containing choral
hydrate for Mrs. Crawford, and said
that he had not prescribed for her in
the last year and a half. His daughter
be said, was in complete charge of the
case and he had nothing to do with it.
Both Mrs. Cora Lamson and Mrs
Luella Shoemaker, assistant nurses. have
made affidavits that Mrs. Lattimer left
the bottle OF choral hydrate with them
when she went South. with instructions
to give it to Mrs. Crawford.
Mrs Lattimer has engaged Edward @.
Nichols as her attorney, and Mr.. Mich
OILS held a conference this afternoo
with the Chief Of Police and District
Attorney Malpass. 1t was said that ar
rangements were peing made to obtain
her release on $4,000 bail. 1t Is not
known whether the police will oppose
this action. District Attorney Malpass
has said that he would bring the case
TO the attention or tho Grand Jury, but
in view OF the fact that the police have
made no charges against Mrs. Lattimer
il probably will be taken up in John
Doc inquiry. III Mrs. Crawford is able
to stand the strain and excitement. she
will be a witness if the case comes be-
fore the Grand Jury.
