Antftoxin Practically Gone.
There is a shipment of antitoxin

Everything looked favorable yes

FIGHT NEARS END.
Early Confirmation of Stone as
Judge Is Predicted.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The Senate is beginning to see day
light ahead in the controversy over
the confirmation of Attorney General
Stone as associate justice of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States
To halt the confirmation and insist
on A dropping of the proceedings
against Senator Wheeler was one
course discussed, but abandoned, for
even a minority Of the Senate cannot be

Sor any of its members as price of
approving a nomination. The other
course is to confirm Mr.. Stone and in

anew, anyhow. Charles Beecher War

is partisan, of course, but diplo-

cession some day to Mr.. Kellogg as
Secretary of State.
Wheeler Forces Confident.
There are all sorts of impressions AS
to the merits of the Wheeler case, but
his stanch friends in the Senate insist
that when all the data is presented he
will be found not guilty of the charges
being banded about now. If the Gov
ernment, on the other hand, has not
doubtful case, but a strong chain of
evidence, Mr. Warren is the type of man
who will make that clear to public opin
ion before attempting to carry the case
on at all.
The line between a Senator's service
to a constituent in Federal matters for
which he receives no pay and service to
constituent for legal matters before
State courts or in private consultation
is not always easy to draw any more
than is the line OF ethics in the practice
of Federal office holders of resigning
their jobs only to reappear before the
very same men with whom they had
been associated or whose appointments
they had helped to secure.

Since then there have been whisper

rumors but many of them are dis

Justice under the Daugherty regime

NEW FRENCH ENVOY
ASKS COOPERATION
Tells President Nations
Should Work Together on
Debts as in War.
BY tine Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Emile Daeschner told President
Coolidge today. upon the presentation
of his credentials a French Ambas-
sador, that the cooperation of the
two countries during the war should
be extended to the payment of their
material debts" as well as their
debts of gratitude
Making reference to the close com.
Partnerships created during the war,
the Ambassador said that the French
people, who after six years of peace
must still labor in the reconstruc-
tion OF their homes" were deeply
grateful for the aid given in their
hour of trial by the United States.
Statement Held Significant.
The Ambassadors direct reference
to the debts which embody the out
standing open question between
Washington and Paris, was regarded
in diplomatic circles as carrying with
it a far-reaching significance. 1t is
unusual on such occasions to go be-
yond the generalities of diplomatic
courtesy.
After presenting his letters OF
credence, the Ambassador told the
President he would find in them
together with an expression of per-
sonal greetings from the President
of France, further evidence of the
earnest concern of France and her
government in the maintenance and
development of the relations OF init
mate and ancient friendship between
our countries that have been cement
ed by the trials and sacrifices. at once
painful and glorious, that they have
been jointly undergone"
Franco cooperation, the
Ambassador said, "can be continued

on which, together with the main
tenance of peace, the restoration OF
the worlds financial balance depends
