Moral and financial support to the

for 24-hour sympathetic strike by

He said he would send ballots to all
workers to determine how many ia

to announce the result soon. He pre-
dicted that this would be "the easiest
strike ever won."

The first health commissioner of
Boston was no less a person than Paul
Revere. This may surprise many per
sons who consider the midnight ride
Revere's one claim to fame-apart,
that is, from an interesting and rather
quaint craftsmanship in gold and
silver.
He was a versatile man, however,
and study of his life will reveal
many varied activities in which he in
terested himself. For instance, an ad-
vertsement printed In 1868 shows him
to have at least dabbled In dentistry.
He was a young man at that time and

new BLOOD IN GOVERNMENT
OFFICES HARDINC'S PLAN:
TO IGNORE CIVIL SERVICE

WASHINGTON, April 4.--Gradual
reorganization of government de-
partments along the lines toward ef-
fectinR a maximum of efficiency was
said today in official circles TO be
the nrogran of the administration al
ready begun, which is to result in
changes wherever the infusion of
new blood is judged necessary,
Operation or the civil service rules
will not be allowed to hinder efforts
to bring the administration OF the
government to the highest peak of
service, according to advisers close
to President Harding who believe
that the President is empowered to
make whatever changes in official
personnel may be deemed expedient
in the interest of the country at
large although, If necessary, enabling
legislation may be obtained from
congress.
The President Vas represented as
holding the view that under the con-
stitution the chief executive is
charged with the duty of exercising
the best judgment in the administra-
tion of the office entrusted to him.
Many changes already have taken
place, particularly in the treasury
department, it was said, where COM
plete reorganization of the bureau Of
engraving and printing and the GUS
toms service already has been. ef-
fected and where other important
shifts arc to be expected soon. Sim

other agencies OF the government

tion was not yet opportune. although
the chief executive regretted that
'insinuating publicity was being
given the incident There had been
no desire, the secretary wrote, to
reflect on the character OF any gov
ernment employe.
It also was said by White House
officials that Mr.. Harding felt he
alone was responsible for the con-
duct OF an efficient administration
and that he proposed to exercise the
presidential appointive power in a
manner that accorded with his own
judgment. There was no possibility,
it was declared. that any of the dis
missed officials would be restored to
office.
The senate debate developed into a
general cross fire of political argu-
ment on whether the civil service law
it had ever been observed by either
Republican or Democratic admin
istrations of the past. The discussion
continued for nearly, three hours
during which Senators Norris. Re-
publican, and Hitchcock. Democrat
both OF Nebraska. referred to post
office appointments in their state.
Mr.. Hitchcock denounced what he
described as deliberate efforts to
subvert and destroy the civil service
as applied TO the postoffices of the
country" adding that the engraving
bureau disnissals were not the only
evidence of "hypocritical efforts 70

where different ideas OF office ad-
ministration is believed advisable re-
placement of executive heads is TAX
ing place.
In sonle>quarters, the view was adj
vanced that reorganization would
proceed regardless of party affilia-
tions until installation of new per-
sonnel would wipe away all old
methods now considered faulty to
make way for the most modern
procedure.
Reorganization is planned, it was
said today, in the internal revenue
bureau, and will involve, it was de-
clared, about dozen important
places. AS soon as the internal
revenue bureau reorganization is
finished the next bureau to be given
attention is expected to be that of
prohibition enforcement. Just how
many key positions are involved in
this bureau are not known but it is
understood there are many.
Ninety per cent of the changes
made So far in treasury bureaus, it
was asserted, were under the civil
service and made in accordance with
civil service laws. 1t was Indicated
that there was no intention of MAX
ing sudden wholesale change in the
remaining work of the reorganiza-
tion of the internal revenue bureau,
or in the prohibition bureau, but
that the work would require some
weeks and would be made much
along the lines followed in the Gus
toms reorganization.

WASHINGTON, April 4-Presi-
dent Harding's dismissal OF % bureau
of engraving executives was the
center of another storm of Demo
cratic protest in congress today,
despite a White House explanation
that the president had not intended
by his action to reflect on the char
acter' of any OF the discharged Of
ficials.
In the senate a congressional. in
curry was proposed formally in a
resolution by Senator Caraway
Democrat of Arkansas. who declared
the presidents unheralded dismissal
order had been 'inhunan and mex
cusable."
Several other Democratic senators
ioined in the attack, while in the
house Representative Byrnes, Demo-
crat of Tennessee, assailed the presi-
dents act as nothing short of an
outrage"
Taking the lead in defense of the
administration. Senator New. Repub-
lican of Indiana, told the senate there
were ample reasons for the dis
missal although unfortunately there
were times when the president could
not take the country into his confi-
dence." A general debate involving
the whole patronage policy of the adj
ministration developed over Senator
Caraway's resolution but it went
over without action.

Lieut. Col. Paul Beck. assistant COM
mandant of Post field at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma, and widely known in army
circles
Beck, one of the pioneer flyers OF
the American army, was killed by
Day, who declares he struck the army
officer over the head with a. revolver
when he returned home and found his
guest struggling with Mrs. Day. The
gun was accidentally discharged, Day
asserts. Beck's skull was so badly
shattered that officials were unable
to determine whether the bullet or
the blow caused death
Day is under $4,000 bond to appear
at a coronor's inquest Saturday aft
ernoon A committee of officers from
Post field will conduct an inquiry into
the affair, it was announced late to-
day by Forest Hughes. county attor-
ney, following a long distance tele-
phone conversation with Post field
headquarters. The committee will be
in Oklahoma City Friday or Satur
day.
The county attorney said he would
not consider filing charges until after
the coroner's inquest.
The shooting came after a party at
the Day home at which Lieutenant
Colonel Beck was the guest of honor.
Beck flew here yesterday from Fort
Sill Day had taken the other guests
home in his motor car and when he
returned about 2:30 o'clock in the
morning, he declared in a statement
to newspaper men, he looked through
a window and saw his wife and Beck
seated on a divan. Colonel Beck
reached her Day declared. There
was struggle.
Thereupon, Day said he rushed into
his home and to an upstairs room,
where he got his revolver.
Returning TO the dining room, he
stated, IT commanded: You get out
of here" The army officer drew
back his hand as if to strike Day
said "and I hit him over the head:
the gun went off; I never dreamed of
its discharging"
Day said Lieutenant Colonel Beck
had spent the evening with him and
Mrs. Day. They dincd at a hotel.
Day said. they had invited Beck TO
stay at his home last night.
Earlier in the evening Beck and
Mrs. Day attended a theater alone,
according to guests at the party.
Beck had long been friend of the
Day family He was 45 years old.
Day is 80 and his wife several years
younger. They have a daughter who
is a student at the University of
Oklahoma.
Mrs. Day was unable to make any
connected statement during the day,
though she corroborated the story
told by her husband.
Mrs. Day is a leading society wom-
an of Oklahoma City. She spent last
winter in Washington, ID. c., and en-
tertained at many, social functions.
Lieutenant Colonel Beck lived at
Fort Sill with his mother, n years
old. His wife died last year in At
lantic City. He is survived by a son,

In the application of details, both by
law and regulation" he asserted, ''the

After he had read a lengthy state
ment in which he contended that
government operation not only had
proved a costly failure but was
driving private owners off the seas.
the shipping board head became the
target for a rapid fire of questions,
most OF them from Democratic mem
bers of the house committee.
Quizzed by Representative Briggs,
Democrat of Texas, as to the boards
experience with ship operators, Mr.,
Lasker said he had a suspicion
that a "few operators have purposely
abused their operation privileges
to prove government operation a
failure. The chairman added that he
would not make any specific charges
on this point.
During the cross examination, Mr..

Mr.. Lasker said he was not in fa-
yor of a material change in the sea-
mems act which he said was one OF
the most 'misrepresented pieces OF
legislation on the statute books.
He enlivened the hearing by ex-
pressions which brought frequent
outbursts of laughter, referring at
one time to Field S. Pendleton OF
New York as the "Babe Ruth of the

EARLY WHEAT GAINS
OFFSET BYREPORTS
OF BIG SHIPMENTS

CHICAGO, April Although on
account OF absence of any aggressive
selling, wheat averaged higher IN
price today, word that shipments
from Missouri for delivery on May
contracts here were impending, had
a bearish effect during the last part
of the board Of trade session. The
close was unsettled at Ike net de-
cline to &C advance, with May
1925 to 1924 and July 1.1SIa TO
1.1S5s. Corn finished a shade to Ssc
off, oats unchanged to 1sc lower, and
provisions to a raise of so cents.
Announcement that 100000 bushels
of No. hard winter wheat at st.
Joseph, Mo-. had been bought to be
put into storage in Chicago had much
to do with lessening the confidence
of wheat bulls near the end of the
day and with narrowing the premium
for May delivery as compared with
July. Showers of export demand. to-
gether with talk of improved crop
conditions in the Southwest, tended
also to handicap bulls during the
late dealings.
An advance Of one cent in Argen
tine export duties for April was a
factor early in discouraging specula
tive sellers Of wheat, and in stimu-
lating hopes among other traders
that some enlargement of export
business from the United States
would develop. Instead. however,
European demand appeared to be
confined mainly to distant deliveries
of wheat from Canada.
Prices for corn and oats were
chiefly governed by the action Of the
wheat market. Wet weather. though

ANT|-SALOON
LEAGUE HELD
V|OLATORS Of
FEDERAL LAW.
Violated Corrupt Practices
Act Says House Mem
Der Claims League
Controls Congress
Republican 4. p. Leased Wire1


WASHINGTON, April 4.-Demand
for investigation by the department
of justice of charges that the Anti
Saloon League of America had failed
to report campaign expenditures as
required under the corrupt practices
act, was made in the house today by
Representative Tinkham, Republican,
Massachusetts,.
Making the charges himself, Mr..
Tinkham declared would be "abso-
lutely futile" to expect an inyestiga :
ton by congress because of the
complete control Of the house by the
Anti Saloon League and it's abject
obedience to the dictates of the
league"
Mr.. Tinkham charged specifically
that the league had violated the
corrupt practices act by not making
returns for 1910, the year of the
laws enactment. until 1920: by not
giving the names and addresses of
all persons receiving $40 or more
in returns filed by Wayne i.
Wheeler, its general counsel, under
protest" in 1920, and by the non
reporting. under the act, of branches
of the league in West Virginia,
Maryland Wisconsin, Colorado, Ore
gon and Iowa.
Charges Many Violations
Complete failure also was
charged by the Massachusetts MEM
ber, ito file returns with the clerk
Of the house on numerous other
state branches Of the league which
received or disbursed money in con-
nection with the congressional elec-
New York, Pennsylvania and Minne-
sofa"
"The records OF the clerk Of the
house disclose a failure of the league
and its subsidiaries to obey federal
statutes" Mr. Tinkham declared, mot
only in one case but in many"
The Massachusetts member said
he desired to call attention to a
leaflet recently issued by Parker
Shields of the Tennessee Anti
Saloon league asking for contribu
tions which, he said, contained this
statement:
"A number Of congressman who
hold the balance Of power and pile
up ajorities in congress come from
the southern and western states
where money for organization and
educational purposes is scarce. They
always had to have help from the
national league"
This would clearly show" the
Massachusetts representative de-
clared, that tho Anti Saloon league
was systematically and literally
financing congressional campaigns
and placing congressman of the
United States under obligation TO
vote in congress in accordance with
its dictation."
Mr.. Tinkha1n> also read from the
Tennessee leaflet that funds from
that state also helped to provide for
the maintenance of the national or
ganization and for the Washington
office under the very successful
management Of the Honorables Wayne
E. Wheeler. one of the greatest dip
1omats and attorneys in America"
It also stated that from this office
needed legislation is initiated, a con-
stant watch is kept on the actions OF
and when opposition appears
danger signals are flashed to every
state in the union"
Scores League Practices
Laying aside the publication, Mr..
Tinkham said:

to the country to learn that legisla-
