otherwise, or by alteration and extern
sion Of existing hospitals. Urging favor

sentative Langley read the following
letter from President Harding express
ing approval of the bill as drawn:
II have yours OF yesterday enclosing
copy of H. r. 10S64, together with q
copy of the report of your committee to

Senate Told Of Alleged Plan to

TENNESSEE CASE rs CITED
Shields Attacks Anti-Saloon
League Activities in Fight
on Judicial Bill.

speeta'>Dispatch to THE NEW YonK HruAtp

washington, ID. c., March 81.
Charges that paid lobbyists of the
Anti-Saloon League are contrfving and
conspiring" to obtain legislation which
would enable that BODY to influence
| Chief Justice Taft Of the Supreme
| Court to designate Federal Judges In
sympathy with its peculiar interest were
made to-day by Senator Shields CTenn.)
In speech on the floor of the Senate.
which marked the opening OF a fight
on the bill to increase Federal district
judges by eighteen.
THE action Of the Anti-Saloon
League" said Senator Shields, .is a
clear barometer that the organization
Will attempt to influence the Chief
Justice to assign judges selected by
that organization solely for the pur-
pose of trying prohibition cases, and
without regard to the interest of other
litigants Of greater Importance pending
i'll the courts
While expressing the belief the Chief
Justice would not be influenced by the
Anti-Saloon League or the whiskey
interests. Senator Shields asserted.
'the Chief Justice should not be placed
in position where shadow of suspi-
cion should fall upon him"
Senator Shields also attacked the
Anti-Saloon League "for advocating
laws which violate the Constitutional
guarantee of rights Of personal liberty
and private property"
In strong terms he pictured "the hor-
rible consequences which might result
from vesting in the Chief Justice new
and great power over the trial courts.
u
the activities of Wayne B. Wheeler.
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League. who, he charged. had sent a
letter opposing the naming Of certain
man as Federal Judge i'm Tennessee.
Mr.. Wheeler was sitting in the gal
leries. and after Senator Shields finished
lis speech the Anti-Saloon League Off
cial issued a statement defending his
course saying 1t is certainly the right
and privilege of any citizen or organi-
zation to resort to petition in advocating
or denouncing prospective appointments.
He admitted he had written the letter.
as charged by Senator Shields, but
pointed out that the Senator failed to
read during his speech his letter ex-
planning why ne had sent the protest
Senator Shields also took occasion to
regret the action of Chief Justice Taft
and Attorney-General Daugherty In ap.
pearing before Congressional commit
tees in support OF the pending bill. SEN
ator Cummins (Iowa), who favors the
bill, said the two officials were clearly
within their rights but Senator Shields
took issue with him on that point. He
took occasion to observe that the De
partinent of Justice is supposed to be a
part OF the Executive Department OF the
Government and In no sense part OF
the judicial branch.
In closing his speech Senator Shields
said: Should you adopt this measure
we will be going back 20 one OF the
abuses which brought a the Revolu-
ton"

"I hope to reduce this number to
about 5000 employees" added Mr.. HILL
II have just returned from Philadelphia
understand, however, that an order
came through few days ago TO reduce
the force by 500 employees. Before the
war the bureau employed about 1900
persons. Probably it will be impossible
to get back to that figure"
The announcement of the change, CIV
ing the only official reason offered in
connection with the shakeup. came from
the White House and said:
THE President to-day issued an ex-
ecutive order dismissing a long list OF
executives in the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing and appointing new Of
ficials to the vacancies.
'The order, which was signed at 6:45
O'clock this evening, was at once deliv-
cred to the new director of the bureau
tor execution. 1t became effective from
the moment of signature by the Presi-
dent, constituting an instant severance
from the service of all officers dismissed.
Their successors will be appointed on
the recommendation of the new director.
"The director of the bureau, James -.
Wilmeth, is among those removed, and
Louis A. Hill, heretofore assistant chief
Of the division of engraving, Is named to
succeed him.
1.-THE bureau is one of the largest in
personnel in the executive service of the
Government, numbering about 5000 en-
ployees. 1t operates the greatest en-
craving plant in the world, in which all
paper money, bonds, certificates and Sc
curities OF the Government and postage
stamps are made.
"The Presidents order simply states
that the action Is taken for the good OF
the service The only exceptions to the
rule of dismissal are in the cases OF
persons eligible for retirement for age;
these are retired as Of, this date.
"The order involves changes in the
executive neads OF every division in the
bureau.
1T was explained that the action was
taken as preliminary to a complete
readjustment of the bureau to peace
conditions.
"To-days action was taken as the
outcome OF extended preliminary ex.
animation into the conduct Of the
bureau.
"The new director, Mr. Hill, was
sworn into office Immediately after the
President signed the executive order
He went Immediately to the bureau

All the Powers which participated in
the Conference for the Limitation of
Arniaments were formally notified by
the State Department to-day that the
Senate had ratified the treaties result
ing from the International congress.
At the White House it was made
over the Senate action and expects
great results will follow the agreements
reached.
In announcing to the Powers the ac-
ment called attention to the fact that
reservation had been attached and
quoted the Brandegee reservation de-
claring the understanding of the United
States to be that the four Power treaty
involves mo alliance and force"
1t is expected the other Powers in
volved in the treaties will follow the
example of the United States in rati-
flying so that. the exchange of ratifica-
tions may take place as soon as pos
sible in Washington.
Interest IN the action by the foreign
Powers centers in what France may do.
1t has been intimated that the French
Government may attach a reservation to
the submarine treaty defining what con-
stituteS a merchantmen.
1t was admitted at the White House
there might be reservations changing
the meaning Of the treaty which would
require resubmission to the Senate, but
the President believes this question can
be determined only when opportunity
has been given to study any reserva-
tions that may be adopted. The Brande-
gee reservation is regarded as merely
explanatory Of the treaty. making no
change in its meaning.
The British system does not require
ratification by Parliament, but it IS as
sumed that in the case of Great Britain.
Japan and Italy the Governments OF
these countries will follow the procedure
OF the United States and add to the eff
feet of ratification by having the
treaties approved in the respective par
liaments.
