Washington, March 22-- Repre-
sentative T. Alan Goldsborough

Mr.. Goldsborough recommended
the appointment of Taylor r. Biles,
who heads the list of eligibles, and
the county committee has Endorsed
Lawson c. Tosh.
Tydings Intervenes
The nomination of Mr.. Biles was
sent to the Senate about week ago
and was confirmed, along with a
large number of postmasters, with
out having been submitted to Sena-
tor Willard E. Tydings for his APP
prevail. Upon discovery of this ac-
ton, Senator Tydings had the NOM
nation of Biles recalled and is hold
ing up further action until the COM
mittee and Mr.. Goldsborough reach
an agreement.
1t is understood that the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Biles was passed on to
Senator Phillips Lee Goldsborough,
who Endorsed it as matter of rou-
tine without consulting Senator
Tydings.
Protests Filed
The action of Senator Tydings in
having the appointment recalled, it
was learned, came after vigorous
protests had been made to him in
letters and kilograms from members
of the Democratic State Central
Committee for Cecil County, against
the appointment of Biles.
The United States Civil Service
Commission, at the request Of the
Postofice department, recently con-

had been filed with the Senate Post.
office Committee against any of the
three eligibles and that tho objec-
tons of the county committee to the

been made public.
Since the advent of the present
Administration, in the appointment
of postmasters in Maryland. the
Representatives adopted the rule to
make postmaster appointments upon
the recommendations of the respec-
tive county committees, and this has
been followed by the four members
who have rural postoffices in their
districts, except in few instances.
1t is understood that Representative
Goldsborough disagreed with the
State Central Committee in Somer-
set county, but the details Of this
case have not been disclosed.

W|TNESSESLAUD
AND FLAY insult
Judge Lindsey Hears Util-
tiles Man Called Crook
and Courageous.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February IA story of
high finance, in which Samuel insult
sr., was denounced as "coWardly
crook" and praised on the other hand
as "superbly courageous" was told
to Federal Judge Walter c. Lindsey.
1t was related in connection with
Judge Lindseys investigation of
charges that frauds were committed
on the court in the insult receiver
ship proceedings.
Samuel A. Ettelson, former corpora
ton counsel of Chicago. and Arthur
Andersen, a witness and head OF an
accounting concern employed to audit
the books of the Middle West Utilities
Co., gave the two opposing pictures.
Opposite Views Spoken.
Ettelson. a critic of the receiver
ships, drew the picture of insult as
a crook" while Anderson defended
the former head of the insult utilities
empire. Both appeared yesterday.
Insull said Ettelson, was the big
gest thief Of modern times. building
his fortune on other peoples money,
running his companies into the ground
and hiding now in Greece, afraid to
face the music"
But Andersen told how insult
seemed near collapse in 1882, after
he had gone to a New York confer
ence and had learned that his bank
ers would extend no more loans.
Let me say this" said Andersen,
Samuel insult had the keenest intelli-
gence of any man 1 ever knew. He
had unlimited courage, sound judg-
ment as a utility operator, and there
fore when he told me it would take
five years to reorganize it struck me
as good Judgment. There was no rea-
son to dispute his ability to run the
companies.
Courage to Run Away.
And run them into the ground!"
cried Ettelson. He caused the great
est death and ruin the civilized world
has ever known, and it took courage
to run away. Is that what you mean
to say?"
You are trying to put words into
my mouth Andersen demonstrated.
Another witness, Edward Eagle
Brown. vice president of the First
National Bank, also told the bankers
part in the insult affairs, and recalled
that the late Calvin Coolidge. former
President of the United States, had
been asked to become a Middle West
receiver.
Mr.. Coolidge declined
