Washington, March 5-(P-The
senate gave prompt approval today
to President Hoovcr's eight new cab
met officers and almost as quickly
adopted a resolution to investigate
the right of Andrew w. Mellon to
carry on as secretary Of the treasury
IN the new regime.
Mr.. Hoover chose not to send the
nominations Of Mr.. Mellon and Sec
retary Davis Of the labor department,
who continue on from the Coolidge
cabinet, to the newly convened senate
AS soon as the new cabinet officers
were confirmed in executive session,
Senator McKellar, Democrat, Tennes-
sec. offered the resolution for inves-
tigation by the judiciary committee
OF Melons right to continue. It was
approved after some debate without
even a roll call and the special ses-
sion Of the new senate adjuorncd
sine die.
The McKellar resolution questioned
the right of cabinet officer to be
continued in office from one admin
iStration to another without rcnomi-
nation and proposed inquiry to de-
tcrmine whether Mr.. Mellon had vio-
lated an old statute forbidding the
secretary Of treasury to engage in
business or commerce.
After first resisting the inycstiga-
tion, Senator Reed, Republican, Penn

Verona. N. D., March 5.-Efforts

Tucker murder case.
Friends and neighbors Of Francis
Tucker, La Moure county farmer,
convicted Of the staying Of Hans G.
Btcne. Verona bank cashier. on Feb
r,iaIy %. 1927, have petitioned VII
liam Hutchinson, states attorney OF
La Moure county. to make thorough
investigation Of the case and trial.
Two petitions, one signed by 10
farmers Of Greenville township who
were ne.ghbors Of the convicted man,
and seco1d petition signed by a
Verona vicinity friends Of Tucker,
heve been addressed to Hutchinson.
The petitions express belief in Tuck

justice.
The first petition is signed by Ed

Dietrich. william Kale, Oscar Quail

The petition reads, in part, as fol-
lows: I'VE do solemnly believe that
his conviction was . grave miscar-
riage of justice. which was obtained
by the officers Of the county In their
r. :,sness to apprehend the slayer
Of Hans Bjone, by unconsciously tax
Ing advantage Of the trusting, careless
nature of Francis Tucker. We feel
that ... jury that convicted him waa
greatly influenced by the very zeal
oslsness Of the county officials In
finding 4 victim and by the gossip
and rumor against Francis tucker,
which he'd no foundation"
Forty-four residents Of the vicinity
Of Verona have likewise signed the
petitions sent to the states attorney
In which they state: I'VE take this
E:thod Of expressing our lbsols:.e
and sincere confidence In the inno-
cence Of Francis Tucker. We believe
that great injustice has been done
and that the conviction Of Francia
Tuckee was : gross miscarriage q
Justice, and. .that the jury that con-
victed him WAS intensely prejudicc1
s.ainst him and that they were un-
consciously pretcdiced By the ma

Washington, March 5.-(RePresi-
dent Hoover had scarcely settled into
the presidency today before he was
called upon to make the firs. major
decicion Of policy for his administra-
ton. It was that there should be no
change in the present embargo on
shipments Of arms to Mexico except
on licenses issued by the state de-
Pc rtment.
His decision was announced after
he had held two conferences with
Secretary Kellogg, who laid before
him the latest reports on the prog
ress Of the revolutionary movement
in the neighboring republic and &C
quainted him with the circumstances
surrounding the establishment Of the
now five-year.old policy Of the Amer
lean government.
Holding his first conference with
newspaper correspondents Is presi-
dent, Mr.. Hoover stated he wished to
carry forward the semi-weekly con-
ferences with the Washington news
writer's and that he hoped to work
out in conferences with them plans
by which the meetings could be made
mutually more helpful. This diSpelled
somewhat widespread ideas that he
might curtail contacts with the press.
At odd times during the day the
new chief executive got his first real
taste Of presidential handshaking. re-
ceiving large delegations from Cali
fornia, Florida, Texas, Illinois, Iowa.
Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Mr.. Hoover arose at his usual hour,
Z q. m.. and had breakfast with Mrs.
Hoover and members Of the family.
The menu consisted Of grapefruit,
