Only on rare occasions has
the resignation Of q Commits
sioner Of the District Of Coz
lumbia been asked for by :
President Of the United States.
and never until the present
Fenning case has such a re-
quest been ignored.
In 1909 former President
Taft called for the designations
of former Commissioners II.
B. f. Macfarland and Henry
i. West, and they were
rendered Immediately.
For Political Reasons
These designations, however.
were called for only because of
political reasons. There were no
charges against either Commits
sioner. President Taft desired to
supplant the Commissioners APP
pointed by former President
Roosevelt by two of his own
choosing. These were Cuno Fl.
Rudolph and General Johnston.
CooIidge's Own Appointee
President Coolidge has confronted
the problem Of busting his own APP
pointees from Federal office twice
within the past two years.
The most conspicuous case was
that involving Bert 2. Haney, for
mer Shipping Board commissioner.
Appointed az an Oregon Democrat,
Mr.. Haney opposed Administration
shipping policies. and engaged in
verbal warfare with the head OF
the Emergency Fleet Corporation,
Rear Admiral Leigh Palmer.
President Coolidge called upon
Commissioner Haney to resign, de-
claring he had made q pledge not
70 interfere with Admiral Palmer
Or oppose his plans for the con-
solidation Of various shipping routes.
Commissioner Haney declined to
resign, and challenged the resident
to GUST him.
He had been appointed for q
specific term in office. and at first
to remain through it.

Honey himself. after SIX months

SGT GREW DIED
At POSTS
BY International News Service

NEW YORK, July S.-Prelimi-
nary examination of the salvagcd
sumbarine S-51, now lying in dry
dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard,
indicated that not more than is
bodies may be recovered from the
craft, Lieutenant Commander Els
berg, in charge of operations, said
to-day.
It was believed that IL oodies
would be found in the torpedoed
room and three in the vicinity Of
the engine and radio rooms.
Ellsberg said that the examina.
ton showed conclusively that the
men had died at their posts and
that the ISL had made every effort
to avoid collision with the City
of Rome, which sent the submarine
to the bottom. The body seen in
the radio room and believed to be
that of the radio operator, thowed
that the man died at his key, he
said.
Tried to Avoid Crash
Three factors indicated that the
Ssh had tried to avoid the crash,
according to Ellsberg. These Were:
The position Of the ships rudder,
showing that tho submarine was
endeavoring to steer clear OF the
City of Rome, and was hard star
board.
The position Of the periscope
lenses, showing that the course of
the city OF Rome was being care
fully noted.
S-5I Crew Died at Posts
Tomorrow Secretary of the Navy
Wilbur will inspect the wrecked
submarine.
Pathetic incidents marked the re.
turn Of the Floating coffin" to New
York. Tear.stained eyes of mothers,
who had come to the navy yard
to claim their dead, wildly recalled
the disaster and its underlying
tragedy.
An impressive memorial service
was held at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard shortly after the S-51 was put
into drydock. The ceremony was
attended by Naval officers and men
and hundreds Ne civilians.

OHIO WILL BE
BATTLE-GROUND
FOR VETS, DRYS
If POmercne, Il Wet, Wins Prj-
mary, He Will Face Will
lis, Strong Dry

Cleveland, O., June 25-Ohio.
state Of presidents and weather
vane of American politics, promises
to be the real national battle-ground
of the wet and dry issue at the
November election.
The states six million people, or
that great part of them entitled to
vote, will be afforded an opportun-
ity almost the equivalent Of Il
straight referendum to render their
decision on the question that has
turned politics topsy-turvy from
coast to coast.
There is only one If, a very small
If, in the opinion of political OBJ
servers; that is. il Atlee Pomercnc,
former United States senator, wins
the Democratic senatorial nomina-
ton at the August 10 primaries.
lPomcrcne's opponent for this nomi
nation is Miss Florence r.. Allen.
associate justice of the Ohio SUI
prcme Court, the first woman III
the state ever to aspire to tho Unit
cd States Senate.
To Meet Willis
| Pomerenc is wet. Miss Allen
is dry. These two arc competing
at the polls in August for the right
to meet Senator Frank B. Willis,
Republican and ultra-dry, at the
November election.
Of course, if Miss Allen should
defeat Pomcrenc for the nomina-
ton, there would be no wet and dry
issue in November. The election,
in event Of Miss Aliens nomination.
would spin about the outlawry Of
war, Willis Newberryism and his
historical comment that Harry
Daugherty, Ousted attorney gener-
al, sis as clean as hounds tooth. y
| Pomerene's nomination would
automatically make the senatorial
contest in Ohio at the November
election a straight-out wet and dry
fight.
:, The prospective Willis Pomcrcnc
test on the wet and dry issue will
be the first Ohio has had since
1922, when it voted down the pro-
posal to permit beverage Of 2.75
per cent Of alcoholic content.
Population Centers
i Ohio has eight counties which
contain more than half of the
states entire population. The wet
and dry fight in November would
concentrate chiefly in these big
centers of industrial population.
. Cuyahoga county, in which Cleve-
land, fifth largest city in the Unit
ed States, is situated. is the "big
brother" of these eight counties
The other seven counties of major
, size are Hamilton. home of Cincin.
. natl, Franklin with Columbus
Lucas with Toledo, Mahoning with
; Youngstown, Montgomery, will
t Dayton. Stark with Canton, Summit
. with Akron.
The vets find comfort in the fac,
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1926-06-25

that in the last five years there has
been an increase Of more than one
half million in the population Of
these eight counties.
In 1929, when the state voted
upon the 2.75 per cent proposal, the
vote of these counties was, for
398. l92-against 281,64O.
Vets analyzc the situation like
this: A total of l,627,572 votes were
cast on the 2.75 per cent proposal
in 1922. The proposal lost by a
margin of l89,472 votes, or by APP
proximately II per cent of the total
votes cast.
They say the change in sentiment
toward modification Of the prohibi.
ton amendment is greater than II
per cent in the last four years.
The drys hold that even in the
eight largest counties of the state
where the vets pollcd their heaviest
vote, sentiment has changed sharp
ly in support Of prohibition.
