WARREN OPPONENTS
SEEK TO FORCE VOTE

Republican insurgents of'the SEN
ate, opposed to the nomination of
Charles B. Warren of Michigan as At
torney General, began moving today
to prevent any steps by administra-
ton leaders to defer action at this
session, so the appointment could
come before the new Senate.
The insurgents declared that the
nomination should be brought before
the Senate without delay. If the
judiciary committee cannot agree on
a report they said 1t should return
the nomination without recommenda- :
ton. as was done by a subcommittee.
Additional canvasses made today
by some administration leaders make
them skeptical whether the appoint,
ment could be confirmed by the pres
ent Senate. 1t Is understood their
view of tire situation has been COM
municated to President Coolidge, but
so far as has been indicated, the Ex-
ecutive has no intention of withdraw
ing the nomination for resubmission
to the new Senate. ---

New Method Proves Valuable
in Removing Accumulation

the results and stated that he would
tinue to use the fre plugs as f1ushers
until the thoroughfares are clean.
Wherever there is a natural grade
the water is being allowed to f1ow
directly from the hydrant, with the
laborers scattered in the vicinity to
sweep the dirt into the stream near
the gutter. Where the hydrant Is 30
situated that the water will not flow.
Mr. Hacker said, sections of hose will
be used.

with notable results in cleaning the
