SAN FRANCISCO, February 25.-
The fate of Chaplain Orville 1. Clam

service records of the man who was
acquitted at a court-martial here last
year on charges preferred by a Law
renee, Kans., girl, and delivered their
opinions in writing to be forwarded to
Washington for review.
Ultimately the verdict will find its
way into the hands of the President.
The final verdict means either re-
tirement from the Army or retention
of his commission. The hearing was
on an appeal by the Vancouver Bar
racks, WASH, chaplain from ruling
classifying him for retirement.
Speculation was rife as to the de-
cision of the four voting officers. Gen.

berg, Col. Thomas Anderson and Col.
E1~ar Sirmyer. After the ballot they
left the room and silently walked past

parted Gen. Davis turned, and, hold.

Canadian Firms Offer to End
Activities if Case Is Dropped

SAN FRANCISCO, February 25.-
The Examiner says the Government
has refused an offer by the Consolf-
dated Exporters, Ltd, of Canada to
quit alleged rum-running activities in
the United States and relinquish
claims to two ships seized by United
States officials on condition that the
Government drop all indictments
against officers of the company.
The seized ships are the Coal Har'
bour and the Quadra. The income
tax due on the Illicit liquor profits
was the rock on which the proposal
was wrecked, although the offer in
cluded a promise to turn over to the
Canadian government $2,000,000 worth
of liquor ready for shipment, the paper
says.
The Quadra and Coal Harbour were
both seized off San Francisco with
cargoes of liquor. An appeal is now
pending against the seizure of the
Quadra on the ground that at the time
she was taken she was beyond the
limit from shore agreed upon for the
seizure of liquor-laden vessels.

Cal and Pals Plan to
Jam Thru Ware Case;
Reed May Spoil the Fun

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21-Oue of
the reasons given at the White House
for President Coohdge's refusal to
call Congress in extra session is the
assurance given him by certain sena-
tors-names not given-that the cleo
ton scandal cases of Ware in Penn
sylvania and Frank Smith in Illinois
can be disposed Of within a few weeks
after the session opens in December.
This announcement means, appar-
emily, that Coolidge and the Old
Guard leaders are agreed upon pro
gram of seeking to hasten a decision
in these cases with the least possible
discussion on the Senate floor. IN
stead of recognizing that the Norris
Brookhart group and some of the
democrats will be able to force
lengthy examination of the corruption
that marked the election Of Ware and
Smith, the administration is persuad-
ed that the senate can be made to
jam the contest through to final roll
call early in January.
In view of the fact that the Ji1
Reed democratic presidential boom Us
largely based on his activity in these
cases, the administration dream of
an early decision is likely to prove a
nightmare.
