t. Morris Wampler. Washington at

him with practicing in Alexandria
courts Illegally and without a city

OPEN FOR LEASES.
Work Ready to Dispose of Alaska
Coal Property.

The Interior Department stands
ready to lease any coal land in
Alaska to any interest or group of
interests which will develop the
lands at terms advantageous to the
and in consonance with
the general leasing laws, Secretary
Work declared today.
Discussing charges that big in
terests" were seeking to secure con-
troll of the Matanuska coal fields in
Alaska, Mr.. Work, who visited the
Chickaloon mine last summer with
President Harding's party, said the
present difficulty lay in securing
some one to lease and develop the
coal resources of Alaska, which are
not unlimited.
Although Chickaloon coal after
being washed Is as efficient as West
Virginia Pocahontas coal. according
to H. Foster Balm, director of the
bureau of mines, quantity production
of the coal would not be economically
practicable on account of the cost
Of getting the coal out of the ground
and transporting it TO points of con-
sumption.
The Chickaloon mine was closed in
March 1928. Secretary Work said, on
account of the cost factor in sending
coal to consumution points, and be-
cause the end of the vein had been
reached and could not be relocated.

BARSEX-OFF|C|ALS
AS CLAIM AGENTS
Mellon Tightens Rules ReIat.
ing to Practice in Treas
ury Department.

Secretary Mellon took steps today
to curtail the practice under which
former Treasury officials have acted
in some cases as attorneys for claim
ants before the department in cases
which were pending while they were
in government service.
Under a new regulation issued by
the Secretary, no one can appear on
behalf of such a claim within period
of two years after he leaves govern
ment employ.
The new regulations will not in
validate any existing contract be-
tween agent and client, and there is
a proviso allowing for special consent
under specific conditions.
At present former employees of the
internal revenue bureau are handling
cases involving hundreds of millions
of dollars. To a lesser extent the
order will affect customs lawyers.
The Treasury year ago issued a
ruling requiring all agents and attor-
neys practicing before its various
bureaus to register and to obtain ap-
proyal of the department. In instances
where the agent worked on a con-
tingent fees basis the percentage at
which payment was to be made had
TO be made known. Those restric-
tionS. apparently. were not sufficient
ly rigid to prohibit some practices to
which the Treasury is opposed.

SEPARAT|SM ENDS
IN RHINE COUNTRY
Accord Reached Between A.
lied Officers-Bavarians
to Rule Palatinate.
BY WILLIAM f. NASH.
by Radio to The Star and the Chicago Ds
News. Conrrlphf. 1921

BY Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1924.
SPEYER, February 16.-Rhineland
separatfsm apparently has been def
nitely ended. The accord reached be-
| tween French, Belgian and British
officers on the spot has been officially
confirmed and proclamation an
nouncing it's terms will be posted
Sunday.
The Bavarian administration will be
restored throughout the Palatinate.
Armed separatists will be kept in bar
racks by French troops few days
and then conducted away under guard
Ito prevent them from possible as
saults.
Not only the French government.
which has persistently declared its
neutrality throughout the scparatist
adventure, but French officials on the
ground, have apparently abandoned
all interest in the movement. This
, movement, which represented only a
small minority of the inhabitants. now
seems destined to disappear complete
ly from the Palatinate as it has al
ready disappeared from the remainder
of the Rhineland
The writer is informed on the best
authority that the accord contains three
big principles: Cd Dissolution or the
separatist regime: CD Nomination of
kreistag or local parliamentary commit
tee AS a temporary government pending
the return of the Bavarian administra-
ton, and go Reparation for all Off
cias expelled by the separatiSts.
Just who is going to disarm the sep
aratists is hard to see. If the German
police try 1T there may be fighting, for
after the Pirmassens massacre, the sep
aratists are in an ugly mood.
Armed bands have been streaming
into Speyer for days past until there
were said to be 500 gathered here. If
nobody undertakes the task, the separa-
lists may become stubborn and refuse
to disarm at all They have been car
rying matters with a high hand late.y.
If the Separatists are not dsarmed, the
allied accord may collapse.
