FLEHARTY CHOSEN
PEOPLES COUNSEL
Nomination to Utilities Com
mission Post Expected to
Go Forward Today.

Ralph b. Fleharty, local attorney,
has been chosen by President Coolidge
for appointment as peoples counsel in
connection with the newly created
Public Utilities Commission.
This nomination will be sent to the
Senate some time this afternoon.
From the advices President Coolidge
had received, he is represented as feel
ing hopeful that Mr.. Fleharty's ap-
pointment will meet with popular ap-
proval, and that no difficulty will be
met in obtaining his confirmation by
the Senate.
Resident Here 30 Years.
Mr.. Fleharty has been a resident
of this city for 80 years. during which
time he has had no legal residence
elsewhere, and therefore complies
with that section of the law requiring
the appointee to this Office to have
been a bona fide resident of the Dis
trict for five years prior to theg ap-
pointment.
Besides this, Mr.. Fleharty's practice
has been such that the restrictions
regarding direct and indirect relation
ships and interest with public utili-
ties within five years of appointment
make 10 possible for him to qualify.

Minister BRAND will draft the reply
and present it for final cabinet ap-
proval Monday.

dent of the Senate naval committee
believes the suggestion of new naval
conference is extremely grave" for
France.

Evidently the aim of the new con-
ference, whether it be brought ABOUT

press the submarine. If that is ad-
mitted, there would remain but two
fleets in the world-the British for our

the other.
However, we must go to Washing
ton or Geneva to speak out plainly,
so that the whole world may under
stand that France desires no conquest.
but means to keep the provinces re-
won by our blood"
That another naval conference
would be simply covering the same
ground as the League Of Nations COM
mission working on the same problem,
was the statement made to the Petit
Parisien by Deputy Paul-Boncour,
who recently was instructed to draw
up q plan fixing the place of parlia-
mentarians in mobilization OF the ma

Press Comment Cool
THAT is why he declared. we
cannot share the viewpoint expressed
by President Coolidge, more so as the
work OF that League commission is
in excellent shape, and will serve as a
basis for the general disarmament
conference planned either for the cur
rent or next year. sx.4s
