AMERICAN SOUGHT
AS LEAGUE AGENT
Desired to Supervise Hungary's
Finances in Connection With
$1O,OOO,OOO Loan.
By the Associa ted Press.

bF tnS AssOclatea Bress.
LONDON. January 29-The league
of nations, 1t is learned here, has been
seeking the services of an American
to supervise Hungarys finances in
connection with the leagues SO, 0,000.-
600 reconstruction loan to that coun-
try.
W. 2. G. Harding. former governor
OF the Federal Reserve Board of the
United States and now governor of
the Boston Federal Reserve Bank. is
understood to be one of the men un-
der consideration for the post. How
ever, 1t was said at league head
quarters here today that no appoint
ment could be made until the repara-
tion commission had approved the
terms of the loan.
The league considers that the ap-
pointment of an American of the
standard of Mr.. Harding would not
only assure an impartial, neutral ham
dlingl OF Hungarys finances, but
would facilitate the efforts of the
league to float part OF the loan in the
United States.
The officials OF the league also are
aHSlouS TO aVOld appointing any one
identified with any country having
a political interest in Hungary
In the case of the leagues loan to
Austria similar efforts were made to
obtain an American to administer the
finances of that country, but the
league was finally obliged to choose
a Hollander, because, it was stated in
league quarters, of the Discrimination
of the Washington government to
identify American interests too
closely with the league.

INQUIRIES ON LEGAL
STATUS OF CARTER
President Asks Department of JUS
tice for Official
Opinion.

President Coolidge has called upon
the Department of Justice to give a
legal opinion whether or not Public
Printer Carter is legally qualified to
hold that office.
This was made known at the White
House today following a petition from
typographical Union, No. 101. pro-
testing against the administration of
Carter and asking for his removal
upon the grounds that he is disquali-
fed from holding that Office because
he is neither a practical printer nor
bookbinder, as is required, the peti-
tion alleges, by law.
The President Is represented as not
having given any great study to this
matter because of the allegations re-
gardfng Mr.. Carter's disqualification.
He is known to have remarked that
before giving serious attention to this
matter he will await the legal opinion
from the Department of Justice.
Appeal directly to the President
that Mr.. Carter be ousted from office
on the ground that he holds office in
violation of law has been made also
by Representative Stengle Of New
York.

BUYING "EVIDENCE"
U. S. Funds Thus Used in Dry Law
Enforcement Stated by Assist
ant Commissioner.

Federal agents in their efforts last
year to enforce the prohibition and mar
cotic laws, spent s2o5,65s of govern
ment funds in buying evidence"
This total was given by Assistant
Prohibition Commissioner Jones in tes-
timony before the House appropriation
committee, which today recommended
that s1o,s29,770 be set aside for prohi-
bitton enforcement during the coming
fiscal year.
Mr.. Jones said the agents used
marked money whenever possible,
which they got back sometimes. The
amount of liquor an agent must buy
to clinch his case, he said, depends on
the bootlegger, and runs from a half
pint to a carload.
"Does the prohibition agent drink
the whisky when he buys It," asked
Chairman Madden.
"Sometimes he has to-" replied Mr..
Jones, "in order to make a second
buy to use as evidence"

den, "is usually not prohibftionist?"
Some of them," Mr.. Jones came
back, have to drink"

BRITAIN MAY DELAY
RED RECOGNITION
Macdonald Reported to Be
Convinced of Need to
Proceed Slowly.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 29.-Prime Min
lister Macdonald has met with cir
cumstances which have compelled
him to go slower regarding the rec
ognition of Russia by Great Britain
than he had intended to go when he
took office, according to some politi-
cal writer's.
The political correspondent of the
Daily Mail puts the premier's posi-
tion as follows: 1t Is unlikely that
Mr. Macdonald will take any precipi-
tate action towards recognition, per-
manent officials of the foreign office
and an examination of documents on
file there having convinced him such
a step would not be in the best In
terest of the country. He is anxious
for recognition as soon as possible
and Is engaged in making the neces-
sary preliminary inquiries.
Meets With Delays.
The Daily Telegraph's commenta-
tor says that Mr. Macdonald already
has perceived that his aim. the un-
conditional resumption of full rela-
tions with Russia, may have to be de-
yeloped at a much slower pace owing
to technical difficulties.
The writer cites in this connection
the old Anglo Russian treaties and
tthe question of debts. He also sug-
gests that Viscount Haldane. the lord
chancellor, and Lord Parmoor, the
lord president of the council, who, he
says, favor pacification of the conti-
nent through the league Of nations.
are more anxious to bring Germany
into the league than to recognize
Russia They wish recognition of the
latter country to be accompanied by
some promise on the part of sovietia
of an acceptance in principle of the
league covenant.
Laborites Restive.
Meanwhile, some of the laborites
apparently are getting restive at the
delay, Neil MacLean, NJ. p, and one
Of Glasgow's advanced" laborites,
writes to the Daily Herald: What is
this nonsense about inevitable delays
and preliminary formalities before
the Russian government can be
recognized? Five days sufficed to
recognize Greece after Venizelos took
office. What could be done in the
case of Greece could be done in the
case of Russia. If the permanent of
ficials pretend otherwise they are
sabotaging and their sabotage must
be stopped swiftly and ruthlessly or
this government is damned"

House military committee he thought
1t unnecessary for himself or any
representative to appear before the

to one from Mr.. Kahn notifying him
that the committee desired to wind
up its hearing not later than today

tary of War in April, 1921. Our offer

tically two years. Mr.. Mayo. our rep
resentative, has appeared before you

QOGET CLEANUP
|. NOTICES IN ALLEYS
Health Officer Starts Cam
paign for Better Sanitary
Conditions.

More than 200 notices to clean up or
ers and occupants of alley dwellings
by health department inspectors to-
day in their first offensive against in
sanitary conditions.
This is onlq the beginning" said
Health Officer Fowler. I'VE are in
earnest in this effort to remove all
Objectionable conditions in the back
yards and alleys and additional no.
tices will be served from day to day"
Each notice alleges the existence of
an "unwholesome condition" and
then specifies what the owner or oc-
cupant must do.
Assigns Eleven Inspectors.
Dr. Fowler has assigned eleven in
spectors to alley work and within
the next few weeks they will cover
every by-way in the city.
Where the Objectionable condition
consists of dirt and rubbish the no
tice is served on the occupant In
cases involving structural defects
in the houses the notice is sent to
the owner.
While DR.. Fowler was issuing his
orders a subcommittee Of the House
District committee heard Charles A.
Baker, president Of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, on the alley
question.
1T is a bad commentary upon the
people of the National Capital that
they have not been permitted to sat-
isfy their own needs. Nowhere in
the United States are people more in
telligent or better equipped for self
government" said Mr.. Bakerh

quentIy been brought to the atten-

had failed to act.

action had been taken by the Fedora

general sentiment among the dele

menace to the health of the commu-
nifty: . -
the people of Washington than in
ceaning up these Inhabited alleys,
Mr.. Baker said. The subcommittee
went into executive session and 1t
was the sense of the meeting that
steps should be taken first to put the
alleys in a more sanitary condition
and that then steps should be taken
to have the alleys vacated by pro-
viding suitable dwellings elsewhere.

Alone In Future

OGLETHORPE UNIVERSITY, Ca,
Oct. 1.-(Special. Harry Robertson,
head coach of the Oglethorpe Petrels,
has been left with the bag to hold. Jim
Robertson. his brother and former All
American star of Dartmouth, has gone
back north to look after pressing BUSH
ness affairs. Harry succeeded jim as
head coach of the-Petrels, but was to
have had at least a months assistance
from his brother. ...-
However, Harry is capable of giving
the Petrels a winner. He had charge
of the linemen at Syracuse last year.
In slang terms, ''he knows his stuff"
on a recent visit TO Atlanta, said {:
Harry Robertson knows as much foot
ball as any man in the South. He will
make Oglethorpe a fine coach"
Harry gave his boys rest Monday
and Tuesday started training them for
the game with Fort Benning at Colum-
bus Saturday. If the weather is clear
and the field dry, the Petrels will run
over. the soldiers. They were hampered
by rain in their game with Tech and
the fast steppers like Adrain Maurer,
Bob KilgOre and Nutty Campbell could
not get away. The Petrol line showed
to fine advantage in the Tech game.
The Tornado did not make a single
touchdown through the line and reg
istered only six first downs.
If the Petrels had not resorted to an
aerial attack in the fourth period the
score would probably have been Tech 5,
Oglethorpe O. A safety and placement
goal was all that Tech scored in the
first three-uuarters. ....f. 80.
