His Confirmation
BITTER DRIVE
NOW ON MCLEAN

WASHINGTON. March s.-John
skelton williams. whose confrma-
ton or failure at confirmation as
comptroller OF the currency has been
the subject OF a sudden partisan
fight in the Senate of both the Sixty
NTH and Sixty-sixth Congress, has
resigned. and his resignation. effec-
tive yesterday. has been accepted by
Pre- ddent Wilson.
In quitting the important office,
which he has held under fire for
more than three years, Mr.. Williams
takes a parting shot at his opponents
IN the Senate. particularly Senator
Mclean. OF Connecticut. chairman OF
the Senate banking and currency
committee, and the other Republi-
can members OF the committee. The
failure of the committee TO act upon
his case one way or the other at the
present session. thus giving him the
verdict" he holds he is entitled to-
is bitterly resented by Mr.. williams

Mr.. Williams asserted, he feels free
to say that certain senators who
have the power TO act have lodged
and evaded ignominously" Dis
cussing the failure of Senator Nc
Leans committee TO go on record
during the present session OF Con
gress, Mr.. Williams letter to the
President said:
My Information is that Senator
Mclean refused to report my case
because he promised a certain parti-
san politician. not a member of tho
Senate, that he would not report T.

But as chairman Senator Nc
Lean chose to smother the confirm.

TO conclude that this senator lacks
both the moral and mental calibre
to uphold the duties and dignities OF

Where's the frog2" asked Nancy
as she and Nick and the enchanted

The twins were so happy over not

Nancy was particularly anxious to

THE GRIFFITH CASE DE-

By a decision OF ths suprem" court Al

Of jurisdiction in the case or HOLY
Griffith has been decided. The court
holds that a prisoner who escapes from

uniting a crime while at large must DC
tried for that crime 10 the county N
which IL Is committed.
The Griffith case has commanded VIDE
interest. While serving term IN tAs

Later he was rccaptured IN North caro-
ls~S.
y Whom he was returned 70 the penI-
tentiary. the point arose as - whether
he should be tried IN Marshall county
or Mason county for the alleged killing
Of Roush. Since Nest Virginia has a
law providing that all "ft"nS"S com
mitted BY Convic:S IN tho N"nit"ntiarE
must be tried in Marshall county, 1t was
claimed by Griftsth'S attorneys and Il
humber Of others that Mason county
had no jurisdiction. Their argument
Was that lin tho p"ni'cnrar! SHOULD
be intcrpreted 70 cover the period OF tn"
.conyict's sentence. no matter whether
he was actually within the walls "t the
prison or not.
WAttorneyS Tor the state. and others.
held that in the p"n!t"nuar! applied

ed interest was gwen TO- tn" cas-
through the fact that the Suprem" '"urt
