the consent of the senate for his
removal.
The opinion today was delivered by
Chief Justice Taft. with Justices Nc
Renyclds. Holmes and Bnadies each
presenting separate dissenting opin-
ions all agreeing, in the words of
Justice McReynolds, that shc position
taken by the court was revoluLion
ary.
Under the opinion, the president is
recognized as having power, which
cannot be restricted by congress, to
remove any federal official commits
stoned by him or a predecessor, with
the exception of a few judges. The
court held that broadly this power
was placed in the presidents hands
to enable him to carry out the con-
laws are we'll and faithfully executed,
stitutional injunction to see that the
laws are we'll and faithfully executed,
as it had been contended by those
who opposed congressional control
over removals, that unless such
power were given, the president
might be paralyzed in the efficient
and proper administration of eXecu-
tive duties. In reviewing the rea-
sons for this power it was said thta
otherwise the president might find
many of those upon whom he must
rely for loyal support out of har-
mony with his policies, and openly
showing allegiance to adverse influ-
ences in congress.
TT WAS the opinion of the minor
ity that the effect of the decision
would be to give the president full
control over the personnel of all
commissions and all presidential Of
fices, even to the office of comp
troller general, around which con-
gress has sought TO throw the closest
safeguards. 1t would have him free,
the rninority held, to remove all
executive officers, including members
OF the various commissions.

The j. l.. Luckenbach, a 14,000-

away was so badly shaken it prob
ably will fall. The steamer was
anchored in the outer harbor for

ACCUSE 2 MORE
INEDITORDEATH

CANTON, O., Dec. Is (AP)-In-
dictment Of additional persons in
connection with the shooting last
July of Don r. Mellett, Canton
publisher, was viewed as a possi-
bility today.
Conviction yesterday Of Patrick
E. McDermott, OH a charge of first
degree murder was regarded as
having increased the possibility OF
the involving of others in the
crime.
Indictments against Ben Rudner,
Of Massillon and Louis Mazer, OF
Canton, alleged co-conspirators in
Mellett's murder, will stand fol
lowing the conviction.
One of the two, probably Rudner
will be tried early in February.
The prosecution has charged from
the first that a number of leaders
of an alleged bootlegging and vice
ring had direct knowledge of a
plot against Mellott.
Evidence against at least one
and possibly two other persons al
ready had been laid before the
grand jury and additional indict-
ments may be returned.
McDermott escaped the death
penalty through the recommends
ton for mercy made by the jury in
! finding him guilty. His attorneys
claiming that he had been proved
guilty of neither conspiracy no1
murder, plan to appeal the case on
error.
Henry w. Harter, Prosecutor
McClintock's assistant throughout

the other indicted men. He plans
to seek further convictions in the
case beginning February Z, wher
