on his feet as the Kentucky Senator
finished
"I am sorry not to have advance
notice of what the Senator from Ken
lucky was going to do" he said, "and
I regret to detain the Senate when it
is anxious to get away, but a state
ment from me is required"
Furthermore, he continued. the
committee went into the tax affairs
of the Mellon companies because of
SERIOUS charges" made to the COM
mittee by employees and former en-
ployes of the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
"I had no interest in the surtax un-
til Secretary Mellon attempted to ar
roeantly ride over the Senator from
Michigan when he asked how he had
arrived at the surtax payments" the
chairman asserted. when 1 asked
him courteously in a letter for infor-

arrogant, and this convinced me that
Secretary Mellon had personal inter-
est in surtax charges
Referring to the charge that he
fixed his own valuation on the Ford
Motor Co. stock which he sold to
Henry Ford, the Michigan Senator
read a letter which he said had been

the valuation of the stock as of March
1, 1918. at Ss,lss per share. He said
he did not sell the stock until five
months after the valuation had been
fixed by the bureau for the benefit of
some Boston investors, and he did not
know at the time of the sale that any
valuation had been made by the
bureau for purpose OF computing
profits.

John Tyler's Fight
Recalled in Ro,U
Ouer Warren Case
Submitted Nominations
3 Times Before .4d-
n,itting Defeat.

About 81 years ago President John
Tyler was wrestling with the Senate
over his nominations in a manner
similar to the struggle now in prog
ress between President Coolidge and
the ratifying body. But President
Tyler tried 1T three times before he
gave up, whereas President Coolidge
SO far has tried it only twice.
An editorial from the New York
Tribune of March 6, 1S43, gave that
papers viewpoint at that time, as fol-
lows:
The last night was signalized by
an exhibition, on the part of Mr..
Tyler, of one of those Roman char
acteristics which he formerly deemed
so cLlpable in Gen. Jackson. Mr..
Tyler had nominated to the Senate:
Henry A. Wise, for Minister to
France.
Caleb Gushing. for Secretary of the
Treasury.
William w. Irwin, for charge daft
faires in Denmark.
Here were three of the six guards
men in Congress-one- the lot
to be paid off in lump, directly in
the teeth of the cardinal Whig princt-
pie. SO explicitly and solemnly pro-
claimed, that members of Congress
ought not to be rewarded with ex-
ecutive stations for subserviency to
the dispenser of such stations. But
these gentlemen found the con-
stitutional fact of the Senate stand
Ing rigidly between them and the
goal of their ambitions. Mr. Wise
was rejected by "a to IL, Mr.. Cushing.
by 27 to 10; Mr.. Irwin was allowed
to pass, though a call of the yeas
and nays would probably have stop
ped him.
The rejection of Cushing and Wise
was promptly communicated to the
President (who is usually in attend
ance at the Capitol on the last night
of the SESSION.. In half an hour a
message was transmitted to the SEN
ate, renominating both Wise and
Cushing, commencing their eminent
fitness, ETC., and hoping the Senate
would think better of its decision.
They were again rejected, by some
80 votes to or 10, and the fact COM
municated to the President In a few
minutes he renominated them again,
this time very crustily. They were
forthwith again rejected by some 40
votes to 2. The Accidental had by
this time discovered that there was
at least one other constitutional fact
beside himself, and hauled off to re-
pair damages"

CARTER MAY DENY
PLEA OF VETERANS
Not Inclined to Grant Hear
ing Prior to Reply to
White House.

Public Printer George H. Carter to-
day indicated he would not grant the
request of officials of three veterans
organizations for a conference re-
garding the alleged illegal discharge
of a. number of eX-service men from
the force of the Government Printing
ONCE.
Mr. Carter said he received such re-
quest today in the form OF Il letter
from William Homer Carroll, depart
ment commander of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars The letter asked that
Mr.. Carroll. together with Arthur
League, department commander of
the United Spanish War Veterans,
and D. ]. Hussey, commander of the
lowed to discuss the matter with the
Public Printer at an early date.
.In view of the fact that Mr.. Carroll
saw fit to go direct to the President
of the United States instead of first
taking the mater up with me. as
would seem to be the customary pro-
cedure, / do not feel that 1 should
discuss the matter with him at all
until I have replied to the White
House." Mr.. Carter stated.
Carroll Filed Protest.
Mr.. Carroll sent to the President
several days ago a formal protest
against the alleged lrJuStlceS done
ex-service men during the recent
general dismissal of about 175 en-
ployes because of Tack of funds"
This letter was referred to the public
printer when it reached the White
House.
George Seibold, secretary OF Co
lumbia Typographical Union, No. 101,
today criticized Mr.. Carter for erect
ing a large electric sign system on
top of the printing office, pointing
out that this move was at variance
with the announcement that funds for
the printing office were depleted.
Secretary Seibold said the sign was
nothing more than costly orna-
ment." When Mr. Carters attention
was called to Mr.. Seibolds state
ment he denied that the sign was
costly one and refused to enter
into an argument about the matter
through the press.
Referring to the precautions taken
to guard the big plant since the re-
ceipt of bomb threats over the tele-
phone, Mr.. Carter declared that he
entertained no fears for himself or
colleagues. Our plant is always
we'll guarded. 1t must be. I'm not
worried" he said.
Condr Carroll stated today that

WAYS OF CURTIS
IN QUESTION IN WARREN DEFEAT
NeiO Leader Depends on
Good Fellowship to
Keep Followers.
Everybody Likes Him, But
Sometimes Smile at
His ''PersltasiOn.'
BY ROBERT II. SMALL.

Not only the leadership of Calvin
Coolidge. but the leadership of
Charles Curtis has been involved in
the Senate fight over the conuir ma
tion of Charley Warren as Attorney
General of the United States. The
mantle of Senate leadership fell upon
Charley Curtis last December. He
was the choice of his regular" as
sociates to succeed the late Henry
Cabot Lodge. 1t is odd that the two
Republican leaders in Washington to-
day should both sign their initials
&C c."
Charley Curtis has tried a new
plan of leadership, but it has been
the only plan he could try; the only
plan he knows.
Lodge was an austere leader. He
felt that not his service, but his cold
had gained him the
high place among his fellows. He
ruled by aloofness. He was the king.
Let the other Senators make obeis-
ance.
Lodge Leaned on CARTS.

is known in the later parlance as
high hating" did not always work.

Today Senator Curtis wears the

colleagues still think of him as the

he believes that under the traffic law
all existing operators permits must
be renewed this year
Since there are more than 1850
operators permits believed to be in
use at this time. il appears that the
man who gets the position of director
of traffic will find himself facing
big task in planning TO renew these
permits should Mr.. Stephens adhere
to his present conception of the law
There are two sections in the law
dealing with speed limits. One of
them reads as follows: NO motor
vehicle shall be operated upon any
public highway in lthe District at a
rate of speed greater than % miles
per hour, except in such outlying
districts and on such arterial high
ways as the director may designate"
Another section defining the duties
OF the new director of traffic makes
the following reference to speed:
The director is hereby authorized,
beginning so days after the enact.
ment of this act % to make reason.
able regulations with respect to
brakes, horns. lights, mufflers and
OlueT equipment the speed ana park
ing of vehicles, the registration of
motor vehicles. the issuance and rev
ocation of operators permits and
such other regulations with respect
to the control of traffic in the District
not in conflict with any law of the
United States as are deemed advis-
able, which regulations shall remain,
in force until revoked by the director, ?
with the approval of the Commissions
erS . :"
MY understanding of the situa-'
ton said Mr.. Stephens. "is that the
director of traffic may fix a speed
limit under % miles an hour in the
downtown part of the city and a limit
higher than % miles on arteriaI high
ways and in outlying sections" -
The corporation counsel expressed
the belief that there apparently is a,
great deal of work to be done by the
new director as soon as he is appoint7F
ed in putting the new law into CONF
plete operation.
The section of the law dealing with,
renewal of existing operators per-
mits reads as follows: -
"The director shall provide by reg
ulation for the issuance without
charge, upon application therefor of
operators permits under the pro
visions of this act to individuals In
possession of operators permits is-I
sued to such individuals in the Dis
trict prior to the enactment of this
act. Such permits shall be issued
with or without the examination and
practical demonstration provided in
subdivision ta) of this section, as the
director may deem advisable. All such
permits shall expire on March 81,
1926"
Mai Daniel Sullivan, superintendent
of police, said today he plans to issue,
a bulletin to his men explaining
which sections of the law are to be
enforced Immediately and which after
! so days. He said the bulletin will not
| be sent out, however, until it has
been ascertained definitely from th9
corporation counsel's Office the pro-
visions that are now in effect.
The Commissioners have not yet
| selected the man for director of
traffic.

would have been better Certainly it
more clearly points his manner of
leadership today. These persuasive
tactics are all right with the admin
istratton" Senators-the regulars
because they have minds that go
along with the Presidents and only
have to be told the desires of the
White House before acting in com
plete accordance Herewith.
But there are the hard boiled" in
dependents, half breeds" mavericks
and non-union Senators-about 10 of
them all told-and. while Borah and

and call him By his first name, they
persuasion and go their own sweet
way, voices of distress from the
White House to the contrary not
w1thstanding.
Senator Curtis has come into the
leadership at a most difficult time.
He is confronted by several pretend
ers to the throne. There is the new
Senator Butler of Massachusetts, for
instance, supposed to be the Presi-
dents mouthpiece. and chairman of
the national committee. There is
Borah. leader of the independents;
Brookhart, leader of the insurgents.
Charley Curtis was in the House Is
years. He has been in the Senate

he has been the whip. but he won't
use the lash. 1t will be interesting
to see how he makes out in the long

RADIO KNIFE WINS
SURGEONS PRAISE
Value in Cancer Cases In
presses Delegates to Medi-
cal Congress Just Closed.

The more than 1900 visiting physi-
clans and surgeons who have been
attending the convention of the
American Congress of Internal Medi-
cine in Washington this week were on
the way back to their homes today,
after what they agreed was one of
the most instructive clinical meetings
of the congress ever held.
More than 500 clinics were hald at
various Washington hospitals during
the five days of the convention, at
which all phases of medical work
were discussed. Several operations
were performed. among them rare
operation, that for angina pectoris, for
which DR.. Charles III. FranZoni, a
Washington druggist and physician,
submitted himself. The visiting doe
tors were shown the medical facili-
ties of the Capital and attended most
of the clinics held in Washington hos
pitfalls.
Among the outstanding develop
ments of the last two years in surg
cry, and of particular adaptation to
surgery in cancer cases. the radio
knife is now regarded by many of
the surgeons who attended the con-
gress as having possibilities in a
cure for that dread disease. Research
into the possibilities OF extensive use
enough to establish it as an adjunct
to positive cure of cancer. Indeed, it
is at present declared to be but one of
several instruments which may as
sist in stopping cancerous growths.
But it's demonstrations are said to
have been convincing to many of the
surgeons who attended the clinics.
Uses Radio Tubes.
The radio knife is an instrument
actuated electrically through a cabi-
net which bears the appearance of an
ordinary radio set, and. in fact, uses
ordinary radio tubes. In applying the
knife, the surgeon merely draws 1t
across the spot where the incision is
to be made, and by electrolysis, the
tissue and skin fall apart and are
automatically cauterized. Surgeons
do not claim that cancer can be
stopped by It's use, but that cauteriza-
tion of the area surrounding the in
cision takes place. Cancer may
spread through the body back OF the
incision by the radio knife, but the
cauterization feature is looked upon
as an important step forward.
Some persons now in hospitals for
mental observation are suffering from
advanced cases of what medical prac-
titioners have called dpost-encephalitis,
commonly called sleeping sickness,
DR.. Samuel A. Silk of St. Elizabeth s
Hospital pointed out at the closing
session of the congress yesterday.
MANY of the cases now under OBJ
servation," DR.. SILK declared. seem
to be sluggish and melancholy like
the usual mental case. but careful
examination shows many of these
patients to be suffering from an acute
disorder brought on by post-enphalitis
lethargy action"
The congress was brought to d
close last night with the holding of
a reception at the Congress ssiona al
Country Club in honor of DR.. William
Gerry Morgan of Washington, presi-
dent of the organization.

which it is played today.
Devised Financial Plan.
While he did his share in represent
ing Yale on various athletic teams
during his undergraduate days, Mr..
Camps greatest service TO the uni
versity was performed afterward in
his capacity as athletic adviser,
which embraced a number of activi-
ties. He had been a member of the
years and for a similar period was
treasurer of the Yale Financial
Union, which he founded.
Up to the time of the formation
of the financial union each of the
major sports was regarded as a, sepa--
rate organization, and the funds of
each were kept separately. And in
variably there were annual deficits.
Under Mr.. Camps plan there was but
a single financial sheet for the entire
athletic body, which was brought
under complete control of the uni
versity. Deficits of n-supporting
teams began to decrease and the sur
pluSeS of productive athletics grew
larger, with the result that there
came an annual surplus in the general
athletic fund.
In 1909 Mr.. Camp was elected
treasurer of the Yale Field Corpora
tion and as such was credited with
having accumulated the money which
formed the nucleus of the fund for
the building of the Yale bowl.
Selection Was Feature.
Since 1889 a feature of each foot
ball season has been Mr.. Camps Sc
lection of All-American foot ball
teams, the players thus selected for
the mythical teams being regarded
by him as the best of the season in
their respective positions.
While he was more Interested in
foot ball than any other sport, Mr.
Camp was an all-round athlete at
Yale.
Mr.. Camp was born at New Haven,
Conn, April II, 1859, the son of
Leverett L. Camp and Ellen Cornwell
Camp. He prepared for college at
Hopkins Grammar School and was
graduated from Yale in 1880. He
then entered the Medical School, but
resigned after two years to enter
business with clock concern in New
York After year he went to the
New Haven Clock Co. He was made
treasurer and general manager of the
concern in 1902, and a year later be-
came president and treasurer. After
several years he relinquished the
duties of those positions to become
chairman of the board.
Had written Extensively.
Mr. Camp had written extensively
on foot ball and other sports as well
as on bridge, of which he was an expert
player. His two years of medical study
together with his athletic experience
enabled him to write as an expert
on training and health exercises. He
was the author of Camps Daily Doz

Gloves Good After 80 Years.

Tom Mercer, a deputy sheriff in
