The Harrison resolution, requesting

1921, whose appointment is by such
order excepted from the civil service
rules, and to furnish the Senate the
reasons therefor. was ordered favor

the civil service committee.
The committee considered also the
resolutions offered by Senator Cara

information regarding the recent dis

engraving by executive order.
The Caraway resolution. which pro-
vides for the appointment of q spe-
cial committee of the Senate to inves-

Of the discussion Of this resolution
there was not a quorum present, and
no formal action was taken, but SEN
ator Sterling, chairman of the COM
mittee. was directed to poll the other
members on this resolution.
Senator Caraway has two other res
olutions before the committee, one
asking the President for information
regarding the dismissals and the
other asking for information as to
how many former soldiers and sailors
have been denoted or discharged
from the civil employment Of the gov

MIAMI, Okla, April 22.-Draft-
ing ministers Of the gospel as
jurors in criminal cases Is the best
method possible of expediting
court work, declared Judge @. p.
McGee of the county court here
today. He based this commenda-
tion on the result that followed
the appearance Of Rev. A. P. Cam
eron Of the Christian Church and
Rev. c. w. Primm of the Apostolic
Church in the panel for the term
opening yesterday.
The presence Of the two minis
ters resulted in pleas Of guilty be-
ing entered by the entire ten indi-
viduals under Indictment. Instead
of q fortnights long-drawn- -out
trials, Judge MCGEE was able to
dispose Of all cases and impose
sentences today.
"When the prisoners were led in
and saw the two ministers sitting
in the front row-I saw that they
seemed much agitated," said the
Judge. But I never vas more sur
prised in my life than when they
all pleaded guilty when called on"

The record of the last two years
has been pleasing to the people of
Jewett. During that time there
has not been a single arrest made
within the town limits on a felony

the men found little to criticise,
although certain of the town ordi-
nances enacted by the women have
come in for criticism.

frankly said that they had had

cheering throngs that traffic was
practically at a standstill.

after his arrival was to congratu-

the king, "if the conference had

PROBABLE RELIANCE

Republican members of the Senate
finance committee. meeting today on
the soldiers bonus bill, practically de-
termined to report to the Senate
bill very similar to that passed by
the House.
Provision will be made, however, IL
Is believed, for financing the bonus
through certificates OF Indebtedness
which the Secretary of the Treas
ury will be authorized to issue
until such time as payments on the
foreign debt are received After that
all bonus payments will be made
from this source.
1t is likely that the republicans will
recommend also change in the bill
by which the land settlement scheme
of the House measure would be elimi-
mated. Provision may be made also
for the payment of a cash bonus 10
all entitled to 500 or less. Under
the House bill, cash could be paid 10
all veterans entitled to receive $50
or less
Harding Against Debt Plan.
President Harding, it is understood.
has been opposed to financing the SOL
tificates of Indebtedness. Furthermore.
he has been opposed TO providing for
the payment of the bonus from pay
ments on the foreign debt, at least
until the money is actually in hand,
Chairman McCumber indicated that
the heads of the American Legion
would be consulted with regard TO
changes in the bonus bill He pointed
out that the members of the legion
are to be the benefciaries of the bill
and that 1t was natural their wishes
should be consulted. He said that
the committee already had the views
of Secretary Mellon of the Treasury
Department. He also indicated that IL
was not the committees plan to dis
cuss the bill with the President until
it had completed a bill
Secretary Mellon has objected to
the plan of paying for the bonus by
the issue OF certificates of indebted
ness on the ground that II would have
a disastrous effect on the refunding
operations of 1923. when $1,000. .0O0. 900
of government securities mature.
Need Of s1oe. 100000.
Committee members, however, point
out that probably not more than
500 100000 will be needed to finance
the soldiers bonus the first year un-
der the certificate plan. and that even
this amount will not be necessary after
payments are received on the foreign
debt.
Apparently the committeeman are
counting strongly on the Treasury
receiving large sums frop the British
government early next year in pay
ment of the British debt.

have the republican members of the
finance committee meet Monday, but

M0RGAN'S COURSE
PROBLEM FOR j. S.
Banker, With Same interests
as Country, to Sit at
Loan ParIey.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The United States government has
a rather delicate question to solve in
connection with the invitation ex-
be a member of a subcommittee of
bankers selected by the -eparations
commission to get advice on the sub
ject of an international loan.
America is not officially represent
ed on the reparations commission,
though President Harding is hoping
Congress will give him the power to
make such an appointment. The com
mittee of bankers. is in a sense an
unofficial body, and cannot. of course.
commit the United States govern
ment even though a prominent and
influential American banker shall
concur in the decisions Of the COM
mittee and the commission itself. But
In view of the expressed policy of
President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes requesting American
firms to consult the government here
before agreeing to any flotation of
foreign loans. Mr.. Morgan is morally
bound to ask the consent of the De-
partment Of State. Rather, the ques-
ton will be whether the Department
of State has any objection to his ac-
ceptance of the invitation extended to
him-for the government will not be
In the position of approving or dis
approving Mr.. Morgan's task on the
committee of allied bankers.
Mr. Morgan's firm lent large sums
Of money to the allies before the
United States entered the war. and
has natural solicitude concerning
the future Of European finances, and
especially the payments of German
reparation money. The Morgan firm
has fioated its loans among thousands
of American investors, and is as anx-
icus as private firm can be that re-
payment be made on the principal and
interest in due time. After the Nor
gans ceased financing British and
French purchases in America the
United States government extended
many billions of dollars of credit TO
the allies. too. So the Morgans on the
one hand and the American govern
nj ent on the other are inevitably con-
cerned with what goes on IN ,ne repa-
rations commission, where the priori-
ties on payments from Germany to
the allies are determined.
Interests Are Identical.
To certain extent the interests
of the private banking firm of J. P.
Morgan and the United States gov
ernment are identical. Both want
to see Europe reconstructed SO that
war debts may be paid with interest.
But if Mr. Morgan attends the meet
ing of the bankers he will go as a
private banker and with the task only
of looking out for possible effects
on the repayment of private loans,
he will not be obliged to concern him.
