WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

The statute Of limitations now bars
criminal charges. Merton f. Lewis,
former New York State attorney gen.
eral, has been designated special
assistant to Attorney General Sargent
to handle the Governments case. as
sisted by Edmund NJ. Toland of Bos'
ton Sherman l.. Whipple, celebrated
Massachusetts, trial lawyer. who mar
rowly missed appointment as Attor-
ney General by President Wilson. will
head the legal talent retained by the
defenda nts. Elihu Root, jr., OF New
York is also "of counsel" for the
defense.
An unofficial guest is accompany
ing Queen Marie on her American
tour-the fat little spaniel, who is an
important member of the royal party.
Newspaper stories call the little dog
variously "Crag" and Tricky" but
lega ton officials sponsor the statement
that Queen Marie's name for her is
Betty" Wherever the Queen goes,
little Betty follows.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard has nearly
finished the engines for six American
gunboats, which are to patrol Chinese
waters. The boats have been built In
China Of American materials because
their design for shallow waters un-
fits them for ocean voyaging. Chinese
contractors offered to build the en-
gines also, but the Navy Depa rtment
needed the protest OF the A. r. or l..
and had them constructed at the
BROOKLYN ward, even though the cost
was 1920, 900 and the bid from China
was only $105,000. Secretary Wilbur
is telling this incident in his campaign
speeches to illustrate the wide spread
in labor costs between the United
states and the Orient, and as an ar
gument in behalf of the Republican
tariff policy as protection against
Chinese cheap labor.
Robert NJ. Washburn, former
Massa chusetts legislator, off-and-on
president of the Roosevelt Club Of
Massachusetts, Coolidge biogra pher,
lecturer, columnist and erstwflle
Washington newspaper correspondent,
has added another laurel to his crown.
He has contributed a sketch>of Ogden
l.. Mills, Republican gubernatorial
nominee in New York, to the 1nde-
pendent, a weekly journal of conserv-
What Washburn wrote about Mills
pleased the latter so highly that he
wired the magazine to run off, at
Mills expense. an extra edition OF
500 600 copies to be distributed to the
voters Of New York as a campaign
document. This parallels somewhat
the action Of the Republican national
committee two wears ago in circulat-
ing 1000 copies Of an abridgment
Of Washburn's Coolidge book. under
the title The A b e Of Calvin Cool
idge." Washburn profited generously
by the sales of his Coolidge book to
the committee and his many friends
at the Capital hope that extensive
circula ation Of his Mills article may
not he without suitable reward-the
subject of the encOmium being sup
piled with the wherewithal to pay.

Friends and foes of the primary

President Dawes speech before the

Gated a return to nominating con-

for the Government meets with
chorus of approval.
