WAY PAVED TQPUSH
RE0RGAN|Z|NG BILL
President to Whip Plans Into
Shape to Rush Measure
in Fall.
By a STAFF Correspondent.


SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. July 14.-It
was learned at White Court today
that President Coolidge is giving some
thought to the reorganization of the
executive departments of the Federal
Government, even though he is sup
posed to be taking a vacation.
Not only has he been studying the
matter at odd times since coming
here, but it was stated today officially
that the President is going to take
the matter of reorganization up with
his Cabinet officers when they visit
him at White Court from time to
time this Summer. 1t was announced
that before the President returns to
Washington that practically every
member of his official family will have
been his guest on the new shore for
a conference regarding the more i'm
portant matters of his respective de-
partment.
Will Pave Way for Bill.
A spokesman for the President
stated that, while the latter has
been successful in instituting certain
changes in several of his depart
ments by executive order, such as
transferring the Patent Office and the
Bureau of Mines, he wants to have
a way well paved to push the bill
drafted by the joint congressional
committee on reorganization, which
provides for a general reorganization
and which bill has the approval of
the resident and his entire cabinet.
1t is thought possible in official cir
cles here that following these confer
ences with his cabinet members and
taking into consideration certain
known objection on the part of Sena-
tors and Representatives to various
provisions of this reorganization bill,
tLat the President may prevail upon
Senator Smoot, chairman Of the joint
committee, who will steer this legis-
lation at the next session of Congress,
to make some changes and modifica-
tions.
Few Changes May Go.
This may result in some of the more
drastic changes, which are proposed
in the bill, being eliminated entirely
or else modified to meet more general
approval.
Although President Coolidge has
brought about some desired re-organi-
zation in the department by using the
executive order, it is thought in official
circles here that it is doubtful if he
can do much more in this connection.
The latest word received at White
Court regarding the condition of Sec
retary of War Weeks is that he con-
tinues to improve and that the Presi-
dent would not be surprised to hear
of him returning to his desk within
the next few weeks.

ASKS FOR LEEWAY
WITH SCHOOL FUND
Bell Wants Congress to Let
Commissioners Use Own
Judgment on Cost.

The fact that all bids for the con
struction of the new Manor Park
School were higher than the appropri-
alton for the building, making it
necessary to readvertise the project,
prompted Engineer Commissioner Bell
to propose today that Congress give
the city heads more leeway in deter
mining the amount to be spent on
each building.
The Commissioner said he did not
mean that Congress should not indi-
cate the approximate cost of each
building, but he pointed out that if
the legislators would allow a variance
of 10 per cent up or down from the
limit of cost placed on each building
it would prevent such delays as oc-
cur when a school building has to be
advertised two or more times before
the bids come within the available
sum.
Bid $1,000 Too High.
The appropriation for the Manor
Park School is S140, 900 and the lowest
bid received was S157 400. Rather
than proceed to erect a building that
would be incomplete, Col. Bell said, the
specifications will be revised in an
effort to get bids within the appro-
priation.
I'm the case of street improve
ments,' Col. Bell observed, Congress
indicates how much should be spent
on each street, but the appropriation
states that all of these separate street
items shall constitute one fund. This
means that if one street costs a little
less than the designated amount and
another runs over its anticipated cost
we can adjust the difference"
With so many school buildings to
be erected during the next few years
under the five-year program, Col.
Bells suggestion that some leeway
be given the Commissioners in ad-
justfng differences in cost in order to
facilitate the work becomes impor-
tant.
Citizens Want Building.
Recommendations were made today
by Ernest II. Pullman, president of
the Manor Park Citizens Association
that the District Commissioners ac-
cept the lowest bid for the construc-
ton of the school at Fifth and Sheri-
dan streets, even though it exceeds
the appropriation. He said that by
slightly trimming the specifications
by adjustment with the contractor the
cost may be brought within a figure
which will permit of only a slight
deficiency being asked of Congress.
Mr.. Pullman assured the Commits
sioners that he will use every effort
to secure the additional funds at the
next session of Congress and that he
believes they will be granted

GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGED.
Program for Settling China's Trou.
bIes.

The Washington Government is en-
couraged over the progress Of its pro-
gram for a far-reaching settlement Of
Chinese difficulties.
While there was no specific develop
ment of Importance today, officials
here are increasingly hopeful Of an
early agreement to set up the COM
missions provided for by the Wash
ington arms conference to study the
customs revision and the extraterrito-
rial questions which are involved in
present disturbances in China.
Pending conclusion by the powers
on this proposal discussions are still
in progress, centering largely in Lon
don, over the separate question of
working out a formula for settlement
of the Shanghai troubles. A reply by
the Peking diplomats to Chinese de-
mands in regard to the Shanghai case
awaits disposal of the question of ju-
risdiction over such negotiations which
had been raised by the municipal
council of Shanghai. The exchanges
on that point are being routed
through London as the most central
point of communication for all pow
erS concerned.
Council Tangles Matters.
Action of the Shanghai municipal
council in asserting that 1t alone had
authority to- make a settlement with
the Chinese has further tangled an
already complicated and difficult ques-
ton. 1t compelled the Pekfng diplo-
mats to refer the question to their re.
spective governme -. where re-eXam-
ination of treaties and other docu-
mentS became necessary.
Officials here have been at a loss to
explain unofficial reports from Toxic
that a three-cornered agreement be-
tween the United States, Great Brit
ain and Japan had been arrived at
which involved both the Shanghai in
cident and the American proposal to
bring the Washington treaties and
resolutions as to China into effect.
The Washington Government has no
knowledge of such an agreement or of
any official suggestion for such an
agreement. AS a matter of fact, con-
tinued harmony of action by all of the
protocol powers In Peking is an essen
tial part of the Washington admin
istration's Chinese policy.

Conference Not Deferred.
Wants Early Adjustment

While the President Is hopeful for
an early adjustment of conditions In
China, 1t was said that he was with
out information to determine definite
ly whether conditions now are propi-
tious for as wide ranged discussion
of eXtraterritoriality and other ques-
tfons as he and Secretary kellogg
hope.
The American Government, it was
stated, Is trying to promote condi-
tions that would warrant an early
comprehensive conference, and. while
it is in communication with all the
powers which negotiated the Wash
ington treaty, 1t realizes that Great
Britain, Japan and the United States,
on account of their larger interests,
must take the lead, although the
other nations must be consulted as to
the policy and procedure.

SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July IA
President Coolidge hopes that condi-
tions will be such that a conference
can be held in the near future for a
discussion of extraterritorial rights in
China, as we'll as Chinese customs.
The efforts of the American Govern
ment to bring about such a confer
ence, 1t was stated today at the Sum
mer White House. are confined to an
attempt to have the nine nations sig
natory to the Washington treaty par
ticipate, and the United States has not
entered into an agreement with Great
Britain and Japan with regard to
China.
1t was reiterated that the United
States was seeking solely to have the
Washington treaty obligations to
Chlna carried out on the one hand
and to secure from China protection
for lives and property of foreigners, on
the other.
Conference Not Deferred.
The statement was made that there
was no basis whatever for the pub
lished report from Toxic that the
United States, in reaching an agree
St'1 Win diedt bTlIdlIl ana Japan,
had agreed to indefinite postponement
or the conference on eXtraterritorial-
ity.
The view of the President as out
lined Is that the conference to be held
under the nine-power treaty should
and will consider tariff questions, ex-
traterritoriality and all other prob
lens covered by the Washington
agreement.
1t was announced that the State
Department is in communication with
the various powers signatory to the
treaty in an effort to make arrange
ments for the holding of the confer
ence in Peking at an early date

 A portion of human lung with a section of the windpipe was turned over to the county officials.
 Dr. o. D. Hamlin is reconstructing the skeleton. As nearly every bone recovered was sawed into fragments, it makes the reconstruction tedious and careful job.
 There is now no doubt in the minds of the officers that criminal opera tion was performed on the girl, caus- ing her death, following which the operating surgeon dismembered the body and carried it to the lonely marsh where it was scattered about over an area of a mile or so.
