Senator Caraway
Predicts Slander Suit
Against President ■
No speech delivered m the United !
~ States senate tn recent ypars has - ~
i created such a genuine sensation as
that mat!) last week by Senator Car
away of Arkansas on the bureau of j
engraving dismissal scandal. It will ,
he recalled that la«t March 28 officials (
of this bureau, aged men and women
vrho by faithful service had risen from
' humble* positions to be chiefs of divi
I sions, were summarily dismissed by an
executive order signed by President
Harding, under circumstances which
placed them under suspicion of having
committed serious offenses sgainst the
government. Investigation proved
them innocent of any wrong doing.
The president has refused to restore
them to the positions they have oceu
: pied, 'but has restored then to civil
service status, which only means that (
they can get if they can find
one, except Mr„ Wilmcth, the ehie.
of the bureau. Several have been given '
jobs at much less pay than they for
merly received \
President Harding was recently
quoted as saying that he had no re
gie*" for what he had dene, and tnut
the aff: ir was a closed incident.
Concerning the temoval of Mr. Wil
meth, chief of the bureau, and the a|>
s o> a man named L A. I* il. (
- .senator said: . - i
"Mr. Wilineth was removed, a man
of high character, n Chnst. -.i e- ,
nan in hif place was jiu e Mr.
Hill, a man whose wife was thea suing
him for divorce. Among the other
unmeantionable charges against Mr.
Hill, which have never been denied,
so far as 1 know and have subsequent- \
ly been sustained by proof, was (
, that he has a daughter who is about j
grown, and he had the brutality to ,
beat her in the face with his fist be
, caaise she protested against the life he
waa living, and tha indignities he
was heaping upon her mother."
After citing other inatnnces pertain
. ing to Mr. Hill'a character, Senator
Caraway thea made this startling dec
laration: j_
"The immunity against malicious |
dander does net clothe the executive.
Wisely or otherwise, the constitution
rlathaa aa with tha right to e4ha 
opinions in debate in the senate and
I in the house, aad not be required to
