RIGHTS
BEFORE HIGH
COURT
Test of Executive Power Il
Made by Postmaster VII
son Dismissed

The ancient conflict between the
legislative powers came again to
the United States Supreme Court
today, when Solicitor General James
M. Beck filed a brief challenging
the right of the Senate to prescribe
the conditions under which Fed
eral officeholder may be discharged.
The brief was filed in the case of
Frank S. Myers, former postmaster
at Portland, Ore, who was removed
by President Wilson in 1920 and
who sued for back pay.
Solicitor General Beck pointed
out, in his lengthy brief that if
the President is denied power to
remove officeholders without the
Senate's consent, then the indie.
. pendence and responsibility Of the
Executive is destroyed and I'VE
would have a nany-headed govern.
ment."
Beck denied that the, trainers of
the constitution ever intended to
create a Presidential office that
would be "a vassal" of Congress.
On the contrary, he set forth, the
founders intended a strong, indie
pendent executive"
Myers based his suit on the
ground the Senate did not concur
in his dismissal.
The Senate's' prerogatives in the
matter are being set forth by Sena-
tor Pepper Rep) of Pennsylvania.
He filed a brief last week.
Oral arguments will be had in
the case during the present week.

prevail Of the President.

as g. means OF combating present
wayward tendencies in the young.
It's accomplishment in afford;

MR.. RINGL|NG IS
EN- ROUTE WITH
HIS CIRCUS
Spring Is Certainly Here.
1.-THE Greatest Show on
Earth" Due May "a
MAE CUNNINGHAM,
Who declares mother is innocent.

The first robin has sung himself
hoarse, the blossoms are breaking
their buds, and-the circus is COM
ing!
With the arrival today of advance
news on the big show. there can be
not the slightest Iestige OF doubt
that spring is doing rushing busi-
ness.
The press agent asks us all to
mark in red the date Of May II,
when the Ringing Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey Combined Shows
will arrive in Washington.
Readers will be inclined to view
with perplexity the fact that this
year the circus is breaking GUS
tom of many years standing by ar
irving on a Thursday. Oldest in
habitants today may be seen in the
interesting procedure Of racking
their brains to remember the time
when the circus paid its annual visit
on any other day than Monday.
This is 1925, however, and the
show has grown to such massive
proportions that such things as
bookings must be considered. Then,
too, the circus men hope to catch
the big Saturday afternoon and
night crowds in the Capital.
The formal advance statement Is
full Of such well-remembered phrases
as "sumptuous splendor and gigan-
tic prodigaIity'' and the yearly
promise that "the miracle has been
wrought again and the circus this
year far outstrips all its past
achievements" ct cetera, ct cetera.
There is, however, new line in
the announcement OF the first APP
pearance in Washington or Ihe
Fete of the GarIands," in an equine
ballet, in which $50 gallant steeds,
handsome youths and comedy
maidens participate"
The show is now in New York,
where IL is attracting, in the mod
est phraseology of the press agent,
delighted multitudes."

The White House grounds now
are IN full spring attire and have
never appeared. more attractive.
The flowers are nearly all in bloom,
and the turf, although hard and
Iumpy in spots. is in excellent
shape.
Among Mrs. Coolidge's guests on
the portico were the children Of the
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
and Mrs. T. Douglas Robinson. the
children OF Mr.. and Mrs. E. B.
Mclean, OF Mrs. MarcelIus b.
Thompson, and Lieutenant Colonel
and Mrs c. o. Sheriff..
The youngsters not only stormed
the White House gates in unpre-
cedented numbers today, but
brought with them an unprecedent-
cd number OF eggs, according to
the official statisticians. These
statisticians were quite firm in the
belief they had never seen SO many
hard-boiled eggs disporting them
selves on the White House grounds
at q given time. They thought it
was the greatest Easter Monday
In egg-rolling history.
The egg-rolling is one Of the
most democratic Of all Washington
social events-children from the
poorer eocticns of the city minEle
freely with the sons and daughters
Of diplomats. Cabinet officers. and
members of Congress. This years
event stands somewhat apart from
those of other days in that the
President and Mrs. Coolidge have
turned it into something of a me-
moral to their son, Calvin, jr., who
would have been seventeen years-old
today.
Games Are Played.
The boys and girls played Lon
don Bridge Is Falling Down" Drop

a. part of their sport. There was
many a small boy with an eye for
business who came to the egg-rolling
without either parent or guardian,
but who offered himself as an
escort to inquisitiVe tourists and
gightseers who, having no children
OF their own with them, were glad
to tttke this method of obtaining
entrdlnce to the White House
gr00nds.
The local organizations of Girl
Scouts were in charge of the policing
Of the event. The egg-rolling con-
tinues until $40 o'clock, when
