dollars worth of Government property
from St. Elizabeth Hospital, four colored

While most of the property was
missed from the supply room, some
of it was said to have been removed
from the wards.
Assistant United States Attorney John
R. Fitzpatrick refused to make out
papers against Arthur Sanders, colored,
who police of the eleventh precinct
charged with receiving the stolen prop
erty. Sanders is alleged to have writ
ten a letter of confession, in which
he stated that he traded whisky for the
goods, but apparently was ignorant OF
the fact that the stuff was stolen.
Police say that Phillip Parker, 1000
block of Twelfth street southeast, con-
fessed to them that he had been taking
property from the hospital for the IL
years that he has been employed there.

to receive quick approval.
Senate wet and dry champions are
girding themselves for a showdown test
on the prohibition issue in the Senate
as soon as the tariff bill is out OF the
way. The transfer bill will probably
be the vehicle for this debate.
The Senate judiciary committee
meanwhile is giving close scrutiny to
the nominations of Federal law enforce
ment officers. A subcommittee headed
by Senator Borah will give further at
tention tomorrow to the nomination of
Sawyer Smith, district attorney for
Eastern Kentucky. He testified to q
jealous record for law enforcement,
and his confirmation is believed in
prospect, although new reports on him
are being given study.
Senator Borah also heads a sub
committee which will examine Jacob
Walter this week on his denomination
to be marshal for Connecticut. Walter
voted against ratification of the eight
zenith amendment as a member of the
Connecticut Legislature. However
Borah says he does not consider this
as barring him. He has served eight

IS SURPRISE HERE
Chief Justice Is Paid Tribute
by Leaders in Off,
CiaI Life.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The news of the resignation of Will
liam Howard Taft, Chief Justice of the
United States, came as a complete sur
prise to House and Senate members
and official circles, but as tbs word
spread there was a generally mingled
chorus of regret and praise.
Speaker Longworth of the House. who
lives in Cincinnati, Mr.. Taft's home,
said:
"The announcement of the resipna-
ton of Chief Justice Taft comes to me
as a tremendous surprise. 1 had hoped
and expected that he would return to
his duties, after his vacation in the
South. with renewed vigor. His decision
while it must be respected, will be ire
mendously regretted by every American
Pays Taft Tribute.
No ADLER. more high-mfnded more
generally beloved public man has been
produced in this country" he continued
President Hoover will have the most
perplexing problem '~of his administra-
ton in adequately filling Justice Taft's
place"
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho
lauded the service of Mr.. Taft to his
country in expressing regret at his res
ignation.
It am very sorry to hear of the Chief
Justices retirement" said Senator
Borah. II suppose it was on account
of his poor health and this, aside from
the loss to the country, is a source of
deep regret. He has had a full life,
however, which gives pride and comfort
to his friends"
Representative Garner Of Texas, the
House Democratic leader, said:
1.-THE resignation of Chief Justice
Taft will be a distinct loss to the
judiciary. He is one of the outstand-
ing citizens of the Nation-has filled
every position with credit to himself
and honor to the country"
Smell Expresses Regret.
Representative Smell, New York, one
of the Republican leaders in the House,
said:
TT is with deep regret that I have
just learned of the resignation of Mr..
Taft as Chief Justice Of the United
States.
His resignation not only will be a
loss to the court but to the people of
the entire country" he added II am
sure that there Is no man in public
or private life today that so enjoys
the respect, admiration and love of tho
American people as does Chief Justice
Taft"

Davis, Mai. Gen. Walter A. Bethel who
is now practicing law in Washington;
Maj. Gen. Eli Helmick. former inspec-
tor general, and Maj. Gen. Frank w.
Coe, former chief of Artillery.
Gen. Crosby is only So years old and
has had 81 years service in the Army,
He still has six years before he reaches
the retirement age.
Gen. Crosby was born in Paramount,
Kans., December "a. 1871. He was APP
pointed to the Military Academy from
Illinois in 1889 and graduated in 1898.
Upon his graduation he was assigned as
second lieutenant to the 9th Cavalry
and has since, with the exception OF
the World War period, been tdentif1ed
with that service of the Army. He mas
been promoted up the various gra0eS
until he reached that of colonel and
later when he received the rank OF
major general which goes with the Of
fee Of chief of Cavalry.
Gen. Crosby saw service In the Philip
pines and on the Mexican border. In
1908 to 1904 he was identified with an
extremely perilous expedition against
hostiles in the Philippines, during which
campaign he distinguished himself on
several occasions During the World
351st Infantry of the S8th DIVISION
He was highly commended for the su-
perior dicipline and training OF his regl-
ment, It being said in the Army CnaI
the men trained under him ranked with
the best in the American Army.
Since the World War Gen. Crosby
has served as a student instructor al

in this city. In March, 1926, he was
promoted to chief of Cavalry, which Inn

present time.
Gen. Crosby lives with his family at
2540 Massachusetts avenue.
When it was first known that Presl-
dent Hoover was contemplating APP
pointing a retired Army ottlcer as Com
missioner, his attention was called to
the opinion submitted by Attorney Gem
eral Sargent to President Coolidge when
the latter was considering making APP
pointments to the effect that such an
appointment was not entirely legal, and
that President Coolidge abandoned the
idea. President Hoover, however, is
understood to have referred the matter
to Attorney General Mitchell, who has
since advised him that he could see no
legal difficulties which would prevent
such an appointment.
The law defining the Qualifications of
civilian Commissioners reads:
1.-The two persons appointed from
civil life shall, at the time Of their ap-
pointment, be citizens of the United
States and shall have been actual resi-
dents of the District of Columbia for
three years next before their appoint
ment and have during that period
claimed residence nowhere elSe.''

Decision lrrevOcable.
For some time past my decision to
retire at the opportune moment has
been irrevocable. On various occasions
declared publicly that ! would resign
in the Spring of this year when found
some one to take my place.
Regarding the particular personality
OF Gen. Berenguer he inspires me with
full confidence due to the tranquility
OF his mind, his culture, chivalry
patriotism and his professed monarchial
sentiments.
In assuming power, Gen. Berenguer
Is making real sacrifice, as the situa-
ton Is a delicate one and all the diffi-
culties the dictatorship intended to re-
move are still in existence.
Therefore, believe that for a long
time to come the dictatorial system in
Spain will have to be continued with
the assistance of the government and
deliberative assembly, to a great ex-
tent elective, but under exclusive re-
sponsibility to dictator Of the country
and the king.
