Won Hindenburg was nominated to-
day as a candidate for President of
the German Republic by the National
Conservative Bourgeois bloc.
1t was announced that the field
marshal had agreed to stand for the
Office.
Won Hindenburg's nomination was
forecast several hours before he ac-
tually accepted, as it was known
this morning that he had agreed to
run against former Chancellor Will
helm Marx in the elections of April
26 If assured of the united support
of all the parties comprising the
National Bourgeois bloc. Despite the
opposition of Foreign Minister Strese-
mann, 1t was stated beforehand that
the German Peoples party would
not oppose the field marshal in the
event he was nominated
Won Hindenburg's protests against
entering the grueling race on ac-
count of his age were met by sup
porters. who adduced to the aged
war hero the examples of men or
the verge of so who had made good
as statesmen. They pointed out that
Bismarck when he was retired was

i. s. COMMISSION
TO FACE INQUIRY
Usefulness of Employees
Compensation Body Is
Questioned by Coolidge.

In line with his economy and
retrenchment program President
Coolidge has ordered a SURVEY of the
functions and the administration of
the United States Employees COM
pensation Commission.
1t has been represented to the Presi-
dent that the work being done by this
commission is not commensurate with
the annual appropriations it receives
from the Treasury and that its serv-
ices could readily be performed salts
factorily by any of several Govern
ment departments. Before arriving
at any conclusion the Executive wants
a sweeping inquiry made. and when
this has been completed and the
President has made up his mind an
nouncement will be made whether or
not the commission is to continue as
at present. whether or not IT will be
consolidated in one of the depart
ments or be abolished entirely. In
the latter event 1t was pointed out
by one in authority today. the service
being performed by the commission
would then be turned over to probably
the Department of Labor or the
Pension Bureau.
Inquiry Under Way.
The survey is to be made under
the direction of Frederick j. Bailey.
chairman of the Personnel Classifica-
tion Board. Under his supervision
experts from the United States Bu-
reau of Efficiency have been called in
to organize the investigation ordered
by the President. 1t is understood
that representatives of the Budget
Bureau and the Civil Service Com
mission will assist in making the
survey. The preliminary organiza-
ton already has entered upon the
task.
1t is understood that the represen-
tations made to the President regard
ing this commission and which re-
suited in this survey, followed the
President general request of de-
partmental heads and others familiar
with the functions of the various
agencies of the Government.
Inquiry showed that for the fiscal
year beginning July l next the COM
mission has received an appropriation
of $151,500 for its work, of which
S13S, 900 is for salaries. The princi-
pal salaries are paid the three COM
missioners - Mrs. Bessie Parker
Brueggeman, chairman; John j. kee-
gan and Charles H. Verrill, who re-
ceive $500 annually. Previous to
only $4,000 a year by statute.
Others Total $3c,35O.
Other officers of tne commission re
ceive annual salaries ranging from
$32,350 to $2,236. These are: S. r.
Golibart,, jr., secretary of the COM
mission; E. c. Ernst, medical direc-
tor; r. J. Hoage, statistician; John
w. Edwards, chief claims examiner; S.
d. Slentz. attorney, and A. H. Gardes,
chief Of accounts.
The President has not yet been ad-
vised as to his authority to arbi-
trarily eliminate the commission or
to curtail its functions. This will be
determined later. The commission
was created by act of Congress and
there are some who contend that 1t
will require an act of Congress to
completely abolish it. Others are of
the opinion that the President may
act under the same law which gave
him authority to transfer the Patent
Ofice from the Interior Department
to the Department Of Commerce.

EMP P[OYMENT CASE

Test of Legality Of Agency
Charge for Finding Jobs Is
Taken Under Amusement.

The case of John D. Kendall. ac-

in Police Court today, and, after lis
tening to arguments occupying more
than an hour, Gus A. Schuldt an

The verdict probably will not be
reached for more than week.
Two Violations CHARGED.
Hearing or the case was begun in
Police Court today, when John D. Ken
dali, president of the Washington Busi-
ness Bureau, was brought to trial on
two counts, alleging infraction of the
statute.
Mr.. Kendall was charged with vio-
lating section of the law, by charg-
him for assistance in obtaining a
position. a fee greater than So after
he had found work for her. The sec
ond count accused him of failing TO
print on the back of his receipt that
section of the statute regulating the
fees employment agencies may
charge.
Taking Testimony Waived.
Sam A. Syme, representing Mr.
Kendall, waived the right of taking
testimony and submitted, together
with Assistant Corporation Counsel
Thomas, a bill of facts in which the
premises upon which the charges
were brought against the defendant
were admitted.
1t was agreed that the case should
stand or fall on the question of
whether the statute applies to per-
sons seeking employment other than
common laborers.
The facts in this case are ad-
mitted," Mr.. Syme said. in opening
his argument. The only question !
may wish to raise by placing Mr..
Kendall on the stand later is that of
the reasona bleness of this act in the
event that this court should find that

Traces History of Law.
Mr.. Syme argued that the act was
passed in 1906 simply to protect girls
from being sent to houses of i'll
fame by employment agencies. He
said that previous to the passage OF
the law some unscrupulous agents
would get girls to their offices, take
away all of their money and send
them out into the street penniless.

Committee Report.
BY the Associated Press.

oy tic hssocidteo frebS.
PARIS, April s-The Chamber af
Deputies this afternoon fixed Friday
evening for discussion of the gov
ernment's bill for relief of the fiscal
difficulties of France. The finance
committee promised to have it's re-
port on the measure ready at that
time
The Herriot government, raising the
question of confidence on a minor
detail of the education budget in the
Senate this evening, obtained ma jor-
ity of only 2, the vote being 142 to 140
The finance committee is consider
ing alternative plans that have been
submitted to it, Among these is a
drastic out-sndout capital levy. pre-
sented by the Socialists, and scheme
from the radical Left group, hitherto
supporters of the government, but
who now appear to be wavering. NJ
Klotz, former minister of finance, 1t
is understood, also intends to propose
tax on unearned increment.
Would Appease Supporters.
The radical supporters of the gov
ernment, represented by Louis Malvy
are making efforts to induce the So
calists to withdraw their proposal,
but the Socialists are expected to go
ahead-not that they believe there
is any chance of the plans adoption
but to satisfy their constituents that
they remained true to the Socialist
doctrines 1t is believed that the
party later will rally to the govern
ment's plan.
This plan provides for authorize
ton to raise the limit of the bank
bill issue by the Bank of France by
four billion francs, bringing 1t to a
total of forty-five billion francs, and
for a forced loan" embracing a 10
per cent contribution by capital.
Members of the finance committee
declare that their midnight discus
sion, established clearly that the gov
ernment bills call for considerable
modifica tion at the hands of the COM
mittee.
Chamber Victory Seen.
How the debate will end continues
to be a subject for speculation in
political circles. II is pointed out
that a part of the governments radi-
cal supporters are almost certain to
vote against the cabinet, as will the
radicals representing the rural con-
stituencies.. But as the Communists
are likely to support the administra-
ton a capital levy being in line with
their views, experienced political OBJ
servers expect that the government
will be. sustained by a small major

PATRIARCH T|KH0N
STRICKEN BY DEATH
Central Figure in Russian
Religious War Succumbs
Suddenly in Moscow.
By the Associated Press.


MOSCOW, April s.-The Most Rev
Dr. I1khon, former patriarch of all
Russia, died of angina pectoris in
private hospital here early today
after an illness of three days.
Archbishop Tikhon, who once as
archbishop of New York, was in
effect the head of the Russian Church
In America, where he spent nearly 10
years, was chosen METROPOLITAN of
MOSCOW, July, 1917, and became patri.
arch of all Russia and was formally
enthroned in the Kremlin Cathedral
in November of that year. He was
considered a progressive in the Rus
sian Church of that period, but
shortly began a campaign of opposi-
ton to the Bolsheviki because of their
attitude toward the church and had
the "anathema' pronounced upon
them in the Russian churches
This course resulted in the an
nouncement in May, 1922. of his abb
dication as patrioarch. This Soviet an
nouncement however. was contra
dicted by church authorities, who
declared his resignation was impos-
sible under church laws and that he
was forced out. His arrest was re-
ported shortly afterward and it was
several times announced that he
would be placed on trial for his oppo-
sition to the Soviet action in confis-
eating church treasures and other
measures against the former rights
of the church. The successive post
ponements of the trial were followed
by an announcement late in 1928 that
the patriarch had been released from
prison and proceedings against him
abandoned on his giving out a letter
expressing regret for past hostility
to the Soviet government. Later he
moved toward reconciliation of the
faithful of the Orthodox Church with
the new Living Church" organized
by the Formists.
Meanwhile the patriarch had been
unfrocked by an Orthodox Church
conclaye, but declined to recognize
the unfrocking, declaring the assem-
blage was an illegal one
Archbishop Tikhon was born in
Pakoff in 1854. He became Bishop
OF Lubin in 1897, went to America
shortly thereafter and after his re-
turn from the United States became
Bishop of Yaroslav in 1907. He was
created Archbishop of Lithuania and
Wilma in 1918.

DR.. Tikhon's death occurred at his

which confined him to his bed, he had
