DRY ENFORCEMENT
POLICY ATTACKED.
Senator HarreId Insists on
Being Consulted Regarding
Oklahoma Appointments.

The question of how far congress
sional influence shall so in the new
prohibition enforcement machine mas
come to the fore again, with Il letter
from Senator Harreld, Republican, OF
oklahoma. to Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury Andrews, field marshal
of prohibition.
The Senator, in his letter, which he
made public served notice that 1t
would be impossible to keep peace in
the Republican party in Oklahoma
unless he and Senator Pine, also a Re-
publican, are consulted about appoint
mentS and removals
II feel ii but fair to say TO you In
advance that we shall expect this
courtesy from your department, he
said.
General DisapprOval Heard.
While Mr. Harreld is the first of
the Senators to make a public state
ment of his position in this matter, 1t
is no secret that the policy of the
Treasury against consulting Senators
and Representatives, except in certain
cases. has met with considerable dis
approval at the Capitol. Several Sen
ators have indicated that they have
made private protests.
Taking cogniZdnCe of reports that II
was the purpose to keep the new pro-
hibition enforcement organization en-
tirely out OF politics. high officials of
The Treasury asserted some weeks
ago that appointments were being
made in agreement with Senators, and
that there would be accord between
the two branches of the Government.
Senator Harreld declared in his let
ter. however, that Director White,
with headquarters at Fort North, Tex,
removed from Office Rev. DR.. Thor
oughman, a worker on the staff of
Director Meadows in Okla homa, with
out any stated cause and without
previous consultation with either Sen
ator from that State.
Protested by Churches.
Calling attention that this action
had caused furor in Lawton. Okla,
with resolutions of protests from the
churches of that city. Senator Harreld
said he was being charged with the
responsibility in the matter and
added:
Il am constrained to further insist
that he should be reinStated or else
some good cause should be given as
to why he should be removed
While stating that he had agreed
not to be unduly active in promoting
any candidate for appointment as en-
forcement officer. Senator Harreld
wrote that he would have to insist
that neither Secretary Andrews nor
Director White should do anything
which would injure his standing in
the State in which he lives and endan-
ger his chances for reelection in the
coming campaign.

using better instruments than his predecessors, found the corona tenn. perature to be 5000 degrees above absolute zero, in spite of the fact that previous observations have indi- cated the temperature to be about 5000 degrees. The difference in the two temperatures gives ground for the inference that the corona is made up in part of dense matter, because if it were all incandescent gas, the temperature would be higher
 In measuring the time of the eclipse, or rather the time of duration of the obscuration, l. G. Priest, an other bureau expert, sought to give astronomers better data for calcu- lating the movement of the moon. There is a gap in proven data which makes the time of the coming of eclipses uncertain by several seconds and although this circumstance is philosophically accepted by ordinary humanity, it is annoying to scien- lists.

SCIENTISTS DECLARE
 SOLIDS FORM PART OF
 SUNS BRIGHT CORONA
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. BOA summarization of scientific knowl edge gathered from the suns eclipse January 24 has led the Bureau ol Standards to three main conclusions These are:
 That the suns corona, which is the scientific term for the radiant man tie of material stretching to great dis tances from the main orb, is in part composed of solid or liquir mate rial, and not entirely of gas.
 That the existence of an element in the sun, provisionally dubbed ''co- ronium,' which has never been en- countered on the earth's globe, is fairly we'll established.
 That new method of timing eclip- ses, based on the phenomena of light, can be worked out and ap- piled on June 2S, 1927, when the next great eclipse of the sun, visi- ble in Europe is due.
 Dr. George K. Burgess, director oc the bureau, and his staff of experts who made variety of investigations during the few moments the sun was yelled, reached these conclusions at a meeting at which they brought their preliminary compilations together. They are continuing comparisons with the findings of other scientists.
 D. c. c. Kiess, who took a spectra observation from the airship Los An geles, detected again in his photo graphs the green and red lines which are believed to denote the existence of "coronium" His findings check ed accurately with those of previous observers who have sought evidence as to the possible new element
 The conclusions as to the solid and liquid matter in the corona rest largely upon the experiments of Drs. H. T. Stetson and w. w. Coblenz, aimed at establishing the exact tenn perature of the sum- Dr. Coblenz, using better instruments than his predecessors, found the corona tenn perature of the sun. Dr. Coblenz,

 The shows. political conventions, balls, mass meetings and national sporting events held in the Garden in the subsequent 35 years are familiar history. Also, during this period, the value of the building, which cost $3,- 000000 to erect, dwindled to a mere S150,000 when the New York Life bought it in at foreclosure auction in 1916 The total consideration was $2,- 000,000, land and all.
