Premier Warren has made public
charges against Sir Richard Squires,
who resigned the premiership last
summer, which charges are to be in
vestigated by T. Hollis Walker, nomi-
mated for the task by the colonial
office.
Mr.. Walker was instructed to con-
duct an inquiry into charges that
while negotiations were in progress
between the government and two
iron, steel and coal companies re-
garding obligations of the compa-
MES to the government certain mon
eys were paid to the then prime min
lister by the companies" and into
charges that revenues of the depart
ment of the liquor controller were
paid to private individuals instead Of
into the treasury.
Mr.. Walker was also instructed to
Investigate expenditures of relief ac-
counts in 1922 and 1923 of the depart
ment of agriculture, mines, public
works and public charities. which
were controlled by DR.. Campbell, who
resigned with Sir Richard.
Both the former ministers, it was
expected, would arrive from England
in January. The former premier's re-
port, it was said, probably would be
ready for submission to the legisla-
ture late in February or early in

pal Church and a healing within the
church, far from the public eye of
dissension between modern and con-

pressed the belief that a right solu-
ton lay in conference rather than in
controversy.
Frank Interchange Of opinions and
convictions at the conferences, it was
predicted, would remove any animus
from the disagreement over "funda-

result in making permanent the

Whether or not Daniel F. Cohalan,
a state supreme court justice, who
announced his resignation yestcr-
day, would manage the campaign of
Senator James A. Reed of Missouri
for the democratic presidential nomi-
nation, was a matter for conjecture
for politicians today. Newspapers
recently predicted that he would
head Senator Reeds forces, but Jus

on the subject.
What he termed the insufficient
salary of supreme court justices
forced his resignation, MIR. Cohalan
said. A resolution providing for an
increase from $4,000 to S25, 900 a
year was introduced in the board of
estimate Thursday.
A leader in Tammany Hall politi-
cal circles, Mr.. Cohalan has been on
the bench since 1911. He is a leader
