NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Stone Tells Senators About Oil Conspiracy and the Senator Wheeler Case. By EDWARD W. PICKARD /"* ONFIRMATION of Jhe President's nomination of Attorney General Stone to he an associate justice of th® United States Supreme court has been held up by the senate Judiciary com mittee for many days and the rejec tion of Mr, Stone by the senate threat ened, because lie directed the presen tation to the ghind jury In the District of Columbia of evidence in a con spiracy case Involving Senator Wheeler nf Montaua. Friends of Wheeler, both Democrats and Insurgent Republicans, thought the case was that In which the Montana senator was indicted in his home state and that transfer of it to Washington savored of persecution. Wednesday the attorney general went before the committee and ex plained that tire government has un covered a conspiracy of wide propor tions to defraud the United States of oil lands, involving the attempted brib ery of government officials; and as the alleged crime was committed in Wash ington, the indictment was sought there, in accordance with the law. Mr. Stone said rfe had ordered a fresh in vestigation of the matter in connection with which Wheeler was indicted in Montana, and added: "The investigation indicated that Gordon Campbell's promotion schemes Involved primarily the securing, fradu lently, of oil and gas prospecting per mits on public lands In Montana and that the most important' element in tliem was the v alidating of these per mits by the Interior department and the approval of assignments of these permits by the executive officers of tlie Interior department at Washington. These subsequent Investigations changed entirely the aspect of the crime which seemed to have been com mitted in Montana." The attorney general offered Senator Wheeler the privilege of testifying be fore the grand Jury If he woulij waive Immunity from prosecution for so do ing. k Till? seemed to leave Sir. Stone's op ponents so ground for further delay In approving the nomination, but the com mittee adjourned for several days. In the senate Itself tlie controversy broke out .once or twice, being checked by the presiding officer. Senator Heflln found an opportunity to tell again why he was opposed to the attorney gen eral. rehearsing the case of Col. Jol\n Ownbey of Colorado against whom Mr. Stone once appeared before the Supreme court as counsel for the es tate of J. P. Morgan. Senator Over man of North Carolina als«> supports tlie charges that Ownbey filed before the Judiciary committee alleging that he was treated unfairly. DEFEAT of the child labor amend ment to the Constitution seems to he certain, but Its friends have not yet given up hope. The amendment has been accepted by the legislatures of three states. Arkansas. Arizona and California, and by the lower house in New Mexico. Seven states have re jected It definitely, these being Geor gia. North Carolina, Soutti Carolina. Kansas. Oklahoma. Texas and Dela ware. In Ohio, Louisiana. North Da kota and South Dakota one house of the legislature has voted agninst it. A bill for a referendum was defeated In Massachusetts and in the Washington lo.ver house. Wyoming has postponed action Indefinitely, which amounts to rejection. It need* rejection by only 13 of the states to defeat the amend ment. Proponents of the amendment de clared their bHlef that it would event ually be .adopted by a sufficient num ber of states. Frank Mofrtson. secre tary of the American Federation of Labor, said that the fight Is by no means over and that he is confident that a sufficient number of states •venl tally will approve the amend ment. He further charged that large sums of money had been expended In lighting the amendment and suggested 4 congressional investigation. , The National League of Women Vot ers also issued a statement declaring that adverse action by one or both houses of 13) states does not- signify defeat. It was insisted that tliere Is a possibility of reconsideration in some of .the states. TUTUSCLE SHOALS legislation was sent W conference and the pros pects for the Underwood bjlf were bright, for the senate conferees ap pointed are all in favor of that meas ure. They are Ke'yes of New Hamp shire, McKinley of Illinois and Ken drick of Wyoming. Norris. McNary and Smith had declined to serve. The house conferees are McKeny.ie of Illi nois, Morln of Pennsylvania and Qnln of Mississippi. The committee will try to obtain ttnal enactment of the legis lation before March 4. O RESIDENT COOUDGE, having re- celved from his agricultural con ference a report urging co-operative marketing legislation during the pres ent session, called to the White House the Republican leaders of senate and house and the ranking members of the agricultural committees and ' asked them to try to carry out this recom mendation. They promised to Vlo their best. The report later was submitted to congress. The plan It presents con templates the creiitlon of a federal co operative marketing board of Ave mem bers, two of whom shall be the secre tary of agriculture and the secretary of commerce and the- three others to he appointed by the President after being nominated by federally registered co-operative marketing organizations. The salaries of the three appointed members would he $12,000 a year. The report declares It Is the purpose of the plan to allow co-operatives a freedom to develop without governmental In terference or domination, except for the'pollce powers lodged with the sec retary of agriculture under the Capper- Volstead act. The agricultural conference also ad vocates adoption of the king pending resolution directing the Interstate com merce commission to readjust freight rates so as to relieve ftftm products of a disproportionate share of transporta tion costs. The senate already had adopted the conference report on this resolution and It went to tlie President'. that bloody town In bloody Williamson county. Illinois, got on the front page again when Glenn Young, the klan liquor raider, and his chief foe. Deputy Sheriff Ora Thomas, "shot It out." Each was supported by a band of armed followers and wh»n the smoke cleared away Young. Thomas and two others were lying dead on the street. Five more (per sons were wounded. The peaceful citizens of Herrln—there really are some—hope that with the death of the leading gun men the outbreaks that have brought notoriety to their town will never recur. PREMIER HERRIOT of France has lwn preparing a definite statement on Frunce's position concerning her debt to the United States, but at this writing It has not V e>n made. M. Her riot, however, did say a lot on the sub ject In an address to the chamber of deputies. He said, he would "solemnly repeat once more what M. Vlvlanl baa said, what M. Polncalre has said- France does not Intend to repudiate her debts. It Is not the government over which I preside, attached as It Is to respect f»r treaties and conven tions. that will disavow the principle of debts which France has contracted." A little later he said: "Even from a commercial viewpoint, our friends ct«n not refuse to realise the terrible diffi culties that France faces If she Is 'rreed to attempt to transport to Eng land ami America products to the value of the debts. "The problem 1" not only moral hut In economic and fiscal. nejtardlesa of what Happens no one can question our cood faith. France la alwaya loyal ami will remain loyal on thla queatlon like on all others." Much of M. Ilerrlot'a addresa was devoted to an exjyuura of Germany's failure to disarm In accordance with the terms of the treaty of Nersaliles.

"At this very mo ment when It.ls desired to initiate In dustrial collaboration, there is a large group In Germany returning to war Ideas as sho\\;n In their papers, their lioetry, their plays, nnd their speeches, where France Is treated disgraceful ly."

Jusserand, the retiring umhussador and long dean of the diplomatic corpq In Washington, sailed for France. As he was leaving New York he said, as a private citizen: "I believe France should have more time for the payment of her debt. The first cqpslderatlon should be France and' all other issues should be sub ordinated. France has her reconstruc tion problem, wh^fh' must be met. There are 140,000 homes to be con structed and as a result of lack of housing facilities* there were during the lust year 100,000 cases of tuber culosis. 18,000 resulting in death." T EADERS in the International opium conference in Geneva de cided on the creation of a central hoard to supervise the International traffic in nnrcotic drugs, the members to be appointed by the council of the League of Nations and the United States. This action is held significant of a possible way of arranging the fu ture relations of the league.and Amer ica and In the opinion of some it means the United States may become a sort />f associate member of the league, with the understanding that it under take iwt obligations under the covenant and would take no responsibility or pursue any activities in international political problems handled by thef league.

MCLEAN LOOKING 10 FUTURE ROADS GOVERNOR BACKS $20,000/00 BONO ISSUE FOR STATE HIGHWAYS. Raleigh. Gov. Angus W. McLean placed him self definitely behind a $20,000,000 bond issue (or State highways in his address before the General Assembly. He committed himself to a 13.600,000 bond issue for' permanent improve ments at State institutions. $3,000,000 of which is to complete the $20,000,- 000 building program Inaugurated by the 1921 legislature, and explained that an additional $2,000,000 bond is sue would be necessary to take care of the veterans' loan fund that was ap proved by the at the polls last November. f Not once in his 25-minute address did the Governor refer to the Bowie- Heath bill proposing to issue $35,000,- 000 In bonds for highways, but he did declare unequivocally that tfate State Highway Commission and its chair man, Frank Page, were behind his proposed program of bond fSsues. He recommended that $10,000,000 in bonds be Issued for highways daring each of the next two years. In addi tion to the bond Issue, he said there would be available from Federal funds, at once $1,338,364 and from the same source next July $1,697,246, while he estimated county donations at $241,500 and from road revenues after taking care of sinking funds and maintenance at $500,000, making a total for the year 3f $13,777,110. For the succeeding year of 1926 there would be available in addition to the $10,000,000 from the bond issue sl,- 697,246 and from highway revenues, provided the General Assembly levies an additional cent a gallon on gaso line, $3,500,000, making the total avail able for that year $15,197,246, which would bring the total for the two years u» to $28,974,256. He estimated that funds now able will keep the highway forces going until the latter part of May while the Governor figured that $2,000,000 additional funds might be secured from other sources, making the total avail able for the nineteen months, begin ning next June close to $31,040,000. The total suggested by the Gover nor 1s $4,000,000 short, of the Bowie- Heath proposal, but as the latter bill contemplates that all the funds secur ed from the sources named by the Gov ?rnor shaill be applied to the road pro gram. the actual difference is $15,800,- 000. less the Interest charges on that 1 sum. The Governor reiterated his deter mination to inaugurate an executive budget system. He explained that a bill would be prepared embodying his ▼lews on the subject and introduced in the General Assembly. Answering the charge that such a system might be construed as usurpation, the Governor ■aid: Under such an act the Governor can not usurp-the powers of the General Assembly, for the reason that his action is wholly recommendatory." He explained the Federal Govern ment and twenty-six states have such a system. If adopted, he would have it go into effect July Ist, 1925. bat the commission would begin to function as soon as the Legislature provides the law. "I shall not attempt to discuss the question as to why we have not had a balanced budget in the past,'' the Governor declared. "The thing that we are now most Interested in is not what occurred in the past but what course we should pursue in the fu ture." He explained that twenty-twcr state Institutions have been operating on their own revenues, while sixty acts of the General Assembly at the pres ent time carry appropriations. The present law permits continuing appro priations. The remedy for the hodge podge system of State financing pso posed by the Governor is an execute budget system. A beginning was made with the introduction of the general appropriations bill, which provides tor all State appropriations. Laying down the general principle that "not one dollar of public money, not necessary for the public 'good, should be appropriated at the present time." he urged the legislature to pro vide cash receipts to meet all appro priations for any fiscal year The Governor was escorted Into the hall of the House of Representatives a few minutes after noon by a commit tee composed of Representatives Tur lington, Christian and Reavis and Senators Dunlap and MacKethaa Automobile Business Growing.
