Three prominent dry leaders in a
telegram addressed to Secretary Mellon
yesterday requested "a prompt recon-
sideration" by the Treasury Department
head of his refusal to indorse an ad-
ditional appropriation of s25,000,000
for the enforcement of prohibition.
The dry leaders declared in their
communication, read in the Senate by
Senator Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas,
the author of the eighteenth amend
ment, that unless Mr.. Mellon rescinds
his disapproval of the increase, ques-
tions will inevitably arise whether the
Treasury Department sincerely desires
efficient enforcement" and whether it
is able to develop an adequate program.
The telegram was signed by Bishop
James Cannon, chairman, and Eugene
L. Crawford, secretary. of the Board of
Temperance and Social Service of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, and
Bishop Thomas Nicholson. president of
the Anti-Saloon League.
Zeal Is Questioned.
"It will be difficult for the average
citizen to believe" said the commune
cation, that there is much zeal or
eagerness on the part of the Secretary
OF the Treasury to secure adequate en-
forcement if he refuses this opportunity

FRIENDS SAY WEST
OK. IN SENATE SURE
Agreement to Vote Tomor-
row Follows Two Days of
Heated Debate. I
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
After two days of debate. the SEN
ate agreed late yesterday to vote tomor-
row at 2:30 o'clock on the nomina-
ton of Roy o. West of Chicago as
Secretary of Interior.
Again meeting in executive session
the Senate heard Senator Deneen, Re
publican, of Illinois. plead the cause
of the Secretary yesterday and listened
to an attack by Senators Nye of North
Dakota and Norris Of Nebraska, both
Republicans.
More than four hours were consumed
in the second day Of argument, and
at the close the friends of the Interior
Secretary. who was named last August
by President Coolidge, were confident
of his confirmation.
insult Connection Assailed.
Senators Norris and Nye based most
of their arguments against West on
his previous connections with the Sam
uel Insult power utilities companies,
pointing out that the Secretary Of In
terior Is a member of the Federal Pow
er Commission. which must pass on all
applications for licenses to develop
water power.
In this connection, they cited that
he already had sat as member of
the commission at a hearing on the
petition of the Cumberland Hydro
electric Co., a subsidiary of the insult
concerns. for power permit at Cum
berland Falls, KY.
A large bundle of protests against
this application was presented by
Senator Nye, including one from mass
protesting against Vests participation
in the case.
Senator Deneen recalled the offer
made by Mr.. West before the Senate
lands committee to withdraw from par
ticipation in any cases coming before
his department involving the insult
companies.
Declares Vests Stock Sold.
He recalled also that Mr.. West had
invested about $4,000 over a period of
IS years in stock of the insult COM
panies, which he had sold for about
$4,000 at the time he became men,
ber of the cabinet. He said that the
law business done by West for the
insult companies was only casual"
Furthermore, he said that in virtually
every political contest in Illinois in the
Republican ranks in recent years Mr..
West and himself had been on opposite
sides from insult.
While friends of the Secretary stood
on their rights again today for the
customary executive session for the
consideration of nominations, so far as
was learned, nothing new had developed
since the public hearings on West by
the lands committee.
However. the two-thirdS vote for an
open session were lacking and neither
the minority report submitted by Sem
ator Nye from the lands committee
nor the majority report recommending
confirmation. which was presented by
Senator Glenn, Republican, of Illinois,
was made public. The committee voted,
8 to S, in favor of Vests confirmation.

HOOVER ENDS VISIT
TO CAPITAL TODAY
leaves Tomorrow Morning
for TWo-Week Stay
in Florida.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

PreSident-elect Herbert Hoover today
completes a two-week stay in Washing
ton in which he has been constantly in
conference with Republican leaders
from all parts of the country. The sit
uation regarding a special session of
Congress this Spring has been ironed
out and it is believed that Mr.. Hoover
has made considerable progress with the
final selection of his cabinet.
Tomorrow morning the President
elect leaves Washington at 10:30 o'clock
for Florida, where he plans to remain
about a month, returning to the Capt.
tai about two weeks before his inaugu-
ration. While there has been no final
determination of the matter, it is not
now expected that Mr.. Hoover will make
the trip to the West Indies, which, at
one time, was suggested.
A fourth conference with President
Coolidge at the White House occupied
part of Mr.. Hoover's time yesterday.
There has been every indication tnat
there is harmony between the outgoing
and incoming Presidents and that one
administration will slip into the sue
ceeding one without great wrench, al
though many changes in cabinet Offices
are expected. There will be much con-
tinuity of purpose, however, and of
policy, it is expected.
Washington Watches Cabinet Making.
Washington has looked with keenest
interest for some intimation as to whom
the Office of Secretary of State will go
in the Hoover cabinet. The President
elect, while he has had conferences with
several prominent Republicans who
have been suggested as ''possibilities"
for the Office of Secretary of State, has
given no sign. In some quarters it is
believed that Mr.. Hoover indicated to
Charles Evans Hughes he would be glad
to have the former Secretary of State
resume his old position in the cabinet
The best information obtainable, how
ever, Is to the effect that Mr.. Hughes
is not going to become a member of
the cabinet, regardless of whether the
matter was broached to him by Mr.
Hoover at breakfast in the Hoover
home last week. Mr.. Hughes retired
from the Office of Secretary of State
to resume the practice of law, after dis

TWO YOUTHS DIE
AS CAR HITS POLE
Victims, Residing in Washing
ton, Meet Death in Crash
Near Clarendon.

Daniel Weston, 20 years old, and
Francis Hill Slaughter, 10, both
of Washington, we're killed last
night when an automobile was wrecked
against telephone pole near Claren-
don, Va. The machine had been re-
ported stolen Thursday by Leo. w.
Green of 1872 Park road.
They were pronounced dead when
brought into Georgetown Hospital at
1925 o'clock.
A third man, said to have been in
the car with them, disappeared before
the arrival of the police.
Early reports failed to throw any
light on the circumstances surround
ing the accident, which occurred on
Wilson Boulevard. The car, a coach,
was wrecked. 1t was headed toward
Clarendon, the crash taking place about
two blocks outside of the town.
Witnesses to the accident say they
saw a third man jump from the Car
and run. A search was made by a
group of men carrying lanterns, but
several hours after the accident no
trace of the third man had been found.
He was believed to be uninjured, except
by flying glass.
Suspected Driver Taken.
Several hours later the Georgetown
Hospital authorities turned over to the
police of the seventh precinct Charles
Merrill Whalley. l9 years old, who had
been brought there for treatment for
cuts and bruises by four young men
from Clarendon. The men told the po-
lice that they had captured Whalley

wash the blood off his face and later
took him to the Georgetown Hospital.
When arrested he denied that he was
the driver of the death car. but was
held at the seventh precinct station.
A strange, feature of the accident
was that the car was being followed
by a citizen who knew 1t had been
stolen. when 1t crashed into the pole.

PARIS, January 19.-J. P. Morgan
and Owen D. Young were appointed by
the reparations commission today as
American members of the new expert
committee to study final settlement of
the reparations problem. They are eX-
pected In France to play a most i'm

been credited here with lions share
in the framing of the Dawes plan, while
Mr.. Morgan enjoys the reputation of
one of the worlds greatest f1nanciers.
Recent reports from New York that
the American financial market may not
be open to reparations bonds contem-
plated in the new arrangement have
caused some disappointment, but it Is
considered in oficial circles that the
question is subordinate to the princi-
pal problem and susceptible of changes

The first problem of the experts, who
are now expected TO meet on February
8, will be to appraise new Germany's
capacity to pay reparations. When the
amount that Germany can pay an
nually is determined, it will be decided
how many years she must continue
those payments. This question will be
complicated by the proposed CONNER

FEAR LONG FIGHT
ON CRUISER BILL
Senate Leaders Foresee Pro.
traCted Struggle Against
Action on Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The prospect of protracted struggle
against action on the cruiser construc-
ton bill, with the possibility of a tie-up
of Senate legislation during the closing
weeks, was foreseen yesterday by Senate
leaders who pointed to persistent run
of debate to sustain this view
Republican independents, led by Sena-
tor Norris of Nebraska are opposed to
the cruiser measure which has been be-
fore the Senate a year and this group
also is attempting to block confirmation
of the nomination of Roy o. West as
Interior Secretary. Two days have been
devoted to the West case and de-
termination of 1t has been postponed
until tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the Senate is falling far
behind its regular schedule in DISPOSE
ton of the necessary appropriation bills.
1t is customary procedure in the Sem
ate to give way for consideration of the
appropriation bills and usually little time
is required for their disposition. These
bills originate in the House and are
given close scrutiny there But this ses-
sion it has been differant, and only one
of the nine supply measures has become
Iaw-that for the Treasury and Post Of
flee Departments
After waiting for action on the Kel-
logg anti-war treaty, Chairman Hale OF
the Senate naval committee, in charge
of the cruiser bill, now that this is out
of the way is scanning the legislative
situation anXiously. He already has
made a demand for longer daily ses-
sions, and this program probably will
be adopted next week.
He is confident of the votes neces-
sary to pass the BILL approved year
ago by the House. 1t would authorize
a construction of is cruisers and an
