DOVER DENIES HE
RESIGNED; FRIENDS
hint HIGHER POST
May Go to Budget Bureau
In Charge of All
Patronage.
CLASH WITH BLAIR
Change Has Been Planned
Since Return From
Pacific.

AS a climax to the row in the
Treasury Department over the dis
tribution OF Federal jobs, the resig-
nation of Elmer Dover. Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury. has been
placed in President Harding's hands.
il was stated upon the most relia bic
authority yesterday.
Mr.. Dover denied the report with
an abrupt No" when asked IL il was
true. Nevertheless, prediction was
made that formal announcement OF
the acceptance of the resignation
would be made by the white House
within the next day or two.
Friction I'm Department.
The Treasury Department has been
seething with friction for several
months. Mr.. Dover wanted TO clean
house in thoroughgoing manner
and throw out what he termed the
incompetent appointees OF the Dem
ocrstic administration with a meru-
less hand. He WAS particularly de-
sirous of doing this in the Internal
Revenue Bureau. His plans collided
head-on with those OF Internal Rev.
enue Commissioner Blair. who was
backed by Secretary Mellon For
weeks the outcome Of the controversy
hung in the balance. From time to
time reports were circulated that
President Harding was backing Do
yer. but the information authorita-
lively given yesterday would Indicate
that Mellon and Blair had won out.
Transfer, say Friends.
Friends of Dover last night also
denied that he had resigned, but
intimated that he would be trans
lferred from his post as Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, possibly
to be an assistant director of the
budget and be placed in charge of
all patronage.
1t was pointed out that the
prime reason for appointing Dover
to his present position was his
skill in handling patronage mat
ters, but the recent debacle in the
Internal Revenue Bureau is said TO
have upset administration plans in
this respect 1t Is felt that he has
not had sufficient authority.
The change, Il is said, has been
planned since his return from the
West Coast, and II was part of the
plan. when the change was made.
for Dover to relinQuish his post as
Assistant Secretary Of the Treas
ury for the other position. II is
not stated positively that he will
be an assistant director of the
budget but II was pointed out
that this position would AFFORD him
ample control Of patronage in all
departments.

De Valera Absent
At Brugha Funeral

Over Where He Is
Hiding.

DUBLIN. July 1o.-Reports that
Eamonn de Valera. the rebel chief
tain, might appear dramatically at
the funeral OF his comrade, Cathal

fighting here last week, failed tS
materialize.
Enormous crowds attended the
funeral today. The cortege was
three hours passing through the
principal streets. Free State po-
lice searched through the mourn

are puzzled over the completeness
with which De Valera has covered
his hiding place.
Brugha was buried in the spec
ial Republican plot of the cemetery.
A squad OF republican soldiers
fired a volley over his grave.
Five main line railroad bridges
were blown up during the day again
cutting off traffic with Belfast.
Rebels have gained complete con-
troll of Clonmel in Tipperary.
DUBLIN, July 10.-Late Thursday
night a man on a stretcher, ac-
companied by a guard, was carried
into a house in Northampton road.
This place was long known as the
headquarters of a certain coterie
of the irregulars.
An hour after the arrival of the
armed and uniformed guard and the
sick or wounded man. he came down
the steps supported by men on
either side Of him. He was placed
in high-powered automobile which
sped away in a southerly direction.
One person, who says he saw the
man, swears he was Eamonn De
Valera, and 1t Is stated this person
could not have been mistaken.

practice of putting out various
articles with weight of fifteen

Alliance yesterday appointed a com
mittee to investigate the matter
thoroughly with "a view of submit.
ting recommendation on remedial
action.
Miss Anna Van Meter, former
home economics expert, Depart
ment of Agriculture, pointed out
at the meeting that various pack

said that securing powder is being
sold in fourteen-ounce packages,
when ii formerly sold in pounds,
and that packages of hairpins that
formerly sold in packages of six
are now being sold in packages OF

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Nov. 22.
Arrested at Kankakee, ILL.,, fol-
lowing complaint Of Teresa Dolly,
aged sixteen, daughter of Josiah
Dolly, farmer, near Flintstone,
this county, Arthur Dunlap, aged
nineteen, Chicago, and Charles
Harris, nineteen, Mount Airy,
Nd, were brought here from
Chicago yesterday by Sheriff
Peter Mcfarland and County
Detective F. Clement Deneen and
lodged in Jail. The girl, also
brought back. was put in the
custody of her parents.
Dunlap Ex-SOldier.
Dunlap. who claims he was dis
charged from the army two years
ago and has been living near Wash
ington since that time, and Harris
were motoring through Flintstone,
enroute to Chicago. They saw Miss
board motor bus to Cumberland
where she was to take a position.
She was asked If she wanted a lift
and she consented to ride with
them. but instead of stopping in
Cumberland. they rushed through
the city and after they reached
Grant Park. Chicago. she claims,
the boys induced her to go and get
something to eat. When she went,
into store they drove away,
leaving her stranded. Her plight
attracted the attention of two State
constables, who overlook the pair
and placed them under arrest.
Slept in Car.
The girl says they slept in the
car along the road, but she de.
clarcs she was not molested. In
Ohio they picked up a youth, Fred
cooper, aged seventeen, of Asbury
Park, N. j., who continued to
chicago, but was dropped from the
case.
Miss Dolly's parents were not
concerned over not hearine from
her, thinking she had taken EN-.
ployment in answer to al adver.
tisement and would report or visit
home.
At Kankakee, at the house of de.
tention, the girl broke down and
cried for her mother. Dunlap says
the girl voluntarily agreed to
accompany them to the Middle
West, as "she had never seen that
country"
At first the girl told the officers
at kankakee she was a sister of
one of the boys, but finally broke
down after the questioning and
related the story from which the
authorities have evolved a kidnap-
inc charge.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Upon
leaving the French steamship
Niagara. in whose steerage he
voyaged from Bordeaux, Adolph
Placek, laborer, yesterday tipped
all four of the steerage servants
10 cents each.
There was a reason for his
generosity. He was the only
"down below" passenger. The
attentions of the chef, the
steward, the waiter and the
bartender had been lavished
upon him every day of the trip.
Besides, he had enjoyed many
hearty laughs over the discom-
futures of the first cabin pas
sengers.
