PALMER REVIEWS
CASE TO COOLIDGE
President Not to Act in Ship
Board Row Until He Gets
Dalton Report.

Leigh c. Palmer, ousted recently as
president of the Emergency Fleet Cor.
poration and around whom much of
the battling: in the Shipping Board has
waged. conferred with President Cool
idge today and is understood to have
given the Executive a review Of
events which led to his removal.
The President stood by Mr. Palmer
prior to his leaving the post. and is
displeased over the action of the boa rd
in the matter. although he has not in
dicated a course. Likewise the Execu-
tive was surprised when he learned
that Elmer Crowley of Boston had
been appointed as Mr.. Palmer's sue.
cessor and had hegun the work with.
out the White House being consulted
to determine the Presidents wishes.
Crowley in New York.
Mr.. Crowley was in New York to-
day and there were no indications of
his attitude in the controversy.
The Executive is unlikely to act
in the Shipping Board row until he
has received report from Hugh
G. Dalton, whom he asked recently to
investigate the situation as his per.
sonal representative.
DispIeased Over Haste.
Mr.. Coolidge's displeasure over the
recent activities of the Shipping Board
centers to some extent in it's failure
to await the investigation by Mr.. Dal.
ton after he had discussed 1t with
Chairman O'Connor. Commissioner
Benson and Mr.. Palmer. He has not
given consideration to action on his
part since returning yesterday from
Omaha, Nebr.. but he probably will
confer with Attorney General Sargent
without delay to determine the extent
of his authority.
Expected to Ask Adjustment.
Whatever action may be taken be-
fore Congress meets. 1T Is generally
considered certain that in his annual
message Mr.. Coolidge will recommend
abolishment of the board. He feels
that 1t is not the purpose of the law
to give Government property valued
at about $4,000, 900, 900 into the hands
of a body of men who are not respon-
sible to Congress. himself or mem
her of the cabinet. which is his under
sta nding Of the present status of the
board.
No comment was available in Ship
ping Board circles on the position of
the President, but indications were
that no further steps in reorganization
of the Fleet Corporation were to be
expected before 1t receives the report
next week of a subcommittee to study
the questions of salary and personnel.
Commissioners asserted that no COM
munication had been received from the
President since the shake-up in the
corporation.

LOCARNO, Switzerland. October

majority Of the points In the draft

tion on Monday the two main out
standing questions-first, the condi-

League of Nations, and, second
Frances special guarantee for Poland.
These two questions will be the sub
ject of private pourparlers over the

graphing to Berlin the interpretative
declaration drawn up by the juridical
experts on article Is of the league
covenant, providing for concerted ac.

The allies hope the declaration will

recognize Germany's special condition
of disarmament and to remove her
from the obligation of participating

MOSCOW. October 10.-Eight deaths
in the Moscow district this week are
attributed to excessive indulgence In
the newly legalized 40 per cent vodka.
and a movement againststhe new law

in an article In the Workmen's Ga

to adopt more moderate habits in their
consumption of the national drink.
The fact that the government permits
40 per cent vodka, he says, does not
mean that the people should be en-

BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

The Department of Commerce. es-

Government dealing directly with the
people and working day after day and
year after year for general prosperity.
is facing the same perplexing situa-
tion as the Department OF Justice,
which has been ordered out OF pri-

housed in 33 buildings, some Of which
are firetraps. can find no place to go
when the leases expire soon on the
two rented buildings it occupies, one
of which is the main department build

Hoover.
The Department Of Commerce pays
a rental of SOS. 500 a year for it's ad-

Secretary Hoover, who has made

Record With Mats Good.

His record after joining the Ma
tionals, however. seems to entitle him
to serious consideration as a world
series pitcher Ferguson worked in
seven games and was an important
factor in the Washington clubs drive
to the American League pennant. He
scored victories over the Detroit
Tigers, the Cleveland Indians. the
Boston Red SoX and the Chicago
White SoX. beating the last mentioned
club twice. The Athletics handed
Ferguson his lone defeat as Ma.
tional. but he later pitched against
them in tie game.
Ferguson was to be opposed by
pitcher who performed in fine manner
in the National Leagues campaign.
Kremer finished the season with a
record of Is victories against de-
feats. He is a pitcher of a type
similar to Vic Aldridge, who beat the
Washington club Thursday, but he has
more speed than that hurler and dur
ing the league championship season
was thought to be especially effective
on days when there was little light.
Real Hitting Expected.
So far the batting in the series has
been light but critics of the game
were expecting an epidemic of hits
in the Washington park. Both clubs
batted we'll above the 800 mark dur
ins their league campaigns and
against good pitching. too: so it seems
unlikely either will he held to the low
averages of the first two encounters

The difference in the size of the
playing fields of Washington and
Pittsburgh also was expected to affect
the hitting here. Forbes Field, the
home of the Pirates, has been so re-
duced in size by the erection of tempo.
rary stands for the series that long
range batting within the playing space
is impossible. However, the grounds
at Clark Griffith Stadium offer plenty
of room for extra base hits, despite the
seats built in front Of the permanent
stands and wall.
A general departure from the
"safety" type of game that was played
by both clubs in Pittsburgh also was
anticipated here. The athletes were
So tense In the contests on Forbes
Field that with the exception of the
pitching there was little brilliancy in
play. From now on the rivals are apt
TO play as they ordinarily would in
the course of league campaign. More
chances likely will be taken at bat

tionary measures adopted in the early
games abandoned, Washington may be
treated to three thrilling contests.
Although weather far from ideal for
base ball prevails, 1t is not likely to
affect the pitching in today's game to
any great exroAt.
