Harding to Name Morgan
Confers ON Best Wav TO Ap-
point Him n. Y. Postmaster

From The Trtbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Methods of
reappointing Edward Morgan as Post
master of New York were discussed by
President Harding to-day at a confer
ence with Mr. Morgan, Postmaster
General Hays, Senators Wadsworth and
Calder and Chairman Koenig, Of the
New York County Republican Com
mittee.
That Mr. Morgan will be restored
to his old post by the President was
intimated by the Postmaster General
following the conference. There are
two ways in which it may be done. The
President may restore MIR. Morgan to
the classified civil service and then
name him, or he may issue an execu-
tive order waving the age limit of
sixty-five years in reference to the New
York postm astership.
Mr. Morgan is sixty-five years OF
age, and under the recent executive
order modifying the regulation he is
ineligible. He served under the classi-
fed service for thirty~six years and
has been in the government service
forty three years.
The question TO be settled by the
President concerns what form of action
shall be taken in rendering Mr.. Morgan
eligible for reappoinement, and in the
opinion of Postmaster General Hays a
decision will be made shortly.

Lodge Says Aurora Will Bring
Earth Extra Gift of Sunshine

LONDON, June 3.-Recent solar
cruptions which caused brilliant
auroras and disorganized cable and
telegraph service throughout the world
may result in the earth receiving an
increased quota of sunshine during the
remainder of the year, says Sir Oliver
Lodge, the noted scientist. He de-
clsres it is probable the monsoon will

quence the Indian harvest will be i'm

that the electrified particles thrown off
by the sun during the disturbance may
assist in the development OF vegetation
and reduce 'the amount of dust held
suspended in the atmosphere.
Sir Oliver says une magnetic dis

eruption were due to torrent of cleo

LONDON, June 3.-The British For
elgn Office, after an investigation of
the escape to Germany Of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, American draft
evader, has referred back to Canada
the question Of his extradition on
grounds Of forging a passport.
1t vas said al the Foreign Office to-
day that the ektradition of the fugitive
was full of complications and that the
British government, while standing
ready TO assist the Department of JUS
tlce IN Washington in any way in
bringing the fugitive to Justice. feared
that some of the several technicaIities
tnat are hampering the extradition pro-
ceedlngs might prove insurmountable
Can Only Charge Forgery
1t was pointedeNout that the only
charge upon which Great Britain could
demand that Germany deliver Bergdoll
was that he had forged a Canadian
passport. Even though such action
were decided on, it was said, the Cana
dian government would have In aet
first, as it was Canadian law that was
violated. If the Dominion government
DECIDED on action, it would request the
London Foreign Once to undertake

The officials at the Foreign Office
raise the question whether any grounds
could be found. after possession of
Bergdoll was obtained by the British,
1or turning him over to the United
States. The officials expressed doubt
whether evasion of the draft consti-
tuted an extraditable ofFense under ex-
istlng treaties upon which Bergdoll
could be handed over TO the Washing
ION authorltles after he was brought
back to Canada.
Pending further action by the Ottawa
government, no move is CONTEMPLATED

to bring the subject again to the at
