attorney general's mind regarding su
preme court appointments. The room
was like a bee hive, with all . the cor
ners, buzzing about the diverse respon
sibilities of the attorney general-patron
age, court appointments, what had be
come of the "Red" agitation,, prohibi
tion, and this latter subject was more
or less active all over the room.
According to some of his f rierfds, the
attorney general thinks that prohibi
tion opinions of the department qf jus
tice can be written better by a man
than a-woman, and that henceforth
that phase of -the work of his office
should be entrusted to a male assistant
who will take over the duties formerly
assigned to -Miss Adams," the first wo
man to hold the position of assistant
attorney general. Miss Adams' place
is still vacant; the attorney general
is not yet ready to announce her re
publican successor.
But - the fact that Mr. Daugherty
thinks the country has had enough of
the feminine viewpoint of prohibition
is no particular .index of the new at
torney general nbw at work on sixth
floor of the department of justice. Some
officials in Washington, and opponents
of the Volstead act, say that Miss
Adams bore down on the liquor ques
tion with considerable bitterness. As
one of ttie "wet" leaders expressed it,
'the lady in the department of justice
was always after us." ,
The picture, and the atmosphere, of
me attorney general s omce today is.
one of re-organization, hustle and
change, change not only in the meth
ods of work, but in the head of the de
partment himself, who every day since
his arrival at the capital has. shown
the effect of a growing sense of the
large responsibilities of his office. A
flash of the attorney general at work
by which the country could most easily
gauge him would be that of a man so
submerged in the organization of his
department, and in settling the repub
lican party ir office, as to be able bare
ly to look , up from his task and find
a free moment. ,
More placid and less harassed coun
tenances of former attorney generals
Wayne MacVeagh, Philander C. Knox,
George. Wickersham look -down from
the walls but Mr. Daugherty mops his
brow and continues to canvass the du
ties and assignments of his staff with
a view to re-adjustment, and,, almost at
the same ' time, cope with the pressure
upon him to settle the patronage ques
tions saddled upon him. s
Mr. . Daugherty had not been here
long before his mind was made up that
the country had .had enough of the
wide publicity which the department
had courted under Mr. Calmer.
'-'What we need now is to stop agi
tating the agitators," he said the oth
er day, referring to rumors of radical
outbreaks. The phrase is becoming
a byword .round the capital.
His face- was set' as he said it..' His
manner was sharp and emphatic, above
all, business ike, and showing consid
erable restraint. He appeared canny,
thoughtful, searching and far-sighted
to a large degree. Yet every move he
made revealed him as entirely unpre
tentious and ready to seek advice. '
A congressman and a senator were
ushered in, after waiting an hourl
They had an appointment in their state
on their minds and sttaed it briefly.
The present incumbent back home was
Mr. So-and-So. It would be advisable,
indeed highly ' necessary, that Mr. So-and-So
be relieved of his post and an
other gentleman, whom they described,
appointed.
The attorney general pushed a but
ton. A stenqgrapher appeared. He
dictated a few sentences, and the thing
was done. No discussion seemed to
he necessary; no changes or hesita
tions in the letter were made. The
case was settled in favor of the visi
tors. That is the way lie works.
SERIES OF RAIDS
ON GAMBLING DENS
Chicago, Juna 18. Five hundred per
sons were arrested here, tonight in a
series of raids on alleged gambling
houses in the "loop" district. Thous
ands of persons watched the raiding
policemen break down doors, gather
ing as clanging patrol wagons rushed
to the raided places. The prisoners
were so numerous so that three police
stations were used in jailing them.
Thb Waiters' Club netted the big
gest haul when more than 100 habitutes
wece arrested. Six squads, all direct
ed by State's Attorney Crowe, con
ducted the raids, visiting more than a
score of places. The raids were the
largest carried out here in years.

AMUNDSEN SAFE '
AT NOME AGAIN
After Perilous Experiences
Intrepid Explorer is Res
cued. San Francisco, June" 18. Captain
Amundsen, ; famous Arctic explorer and
the crew of his Polar, Ship, Maud, have
been rescued from a huge ice floe in
the frozen north and safely landed at
Nome, Alaska, .according to a message
received" here ;late today. "
Amundsen and his men were picked
up by the fur schooner, Herman, ap
parently northwest of Alaska, and tak
en to Nome. The message was relayed
here to H. Liebe & Co., .owners of the
schooner. Amundsen and his crew were
simply reported "safe." v
Amundsen had invaded the polar re
gions last summer, sailing from Seattle
in his schooner, Maud. His vessel was
caught in an ice jam northwest at
Alaska and for months the vessel float
ed with the huge ice pack.
VESSEL ICE-LOCKED
Although details of his experiences are
still lacking, it is believed the vessel
finally was ice-locked where therer was
no hope of salvation for many months.
The explorer and his men then set out
over the surface of the ice.
The meager details included-the state
ment that he had deserted his vessel,
The message also stated , that Amund
sen had experienced "extreme hard
ships" on the overland trip. While the
explorer probably could have remained
with his vessel until spring, the usual
custom is for the expedition to seek
civilization or rescue overland.
This is confirmed by announcement
that Amundsen planned to have the
Maud towed to Seattle as soon as ice
conditions permit. Sea farers familiar
with polar conditions stated, this indi
cated the vessel had probably been
smashed by the, ice pack and that masts
an dall other movable wooden fixtures
burned as fuel. ' .
The message also indicated that the
intrepid explorer would make a second
attempt as soon as the Maud was re
paired. ' t
CAUGHT BY CURRENT
Amundsen's vessel," it was previously
reported, had been caught in an ice
floe. Indications are " that it floated
northward as the explorer had intended,
but that some hitherto unknown cur
rent had carried it west and south again
to some point above Siberia.
It had been Amundsen s announced
intention of "floating to the pole." The
explorer meant to travel overland as
soon as his ship halted its -"floating
journey" northward.
The rescue of Amundsen is the sec
ond such feat performed by the staunch
little fur schooner Herman.
Several years ago it was the Herman
that picked up Captain Bartlett of the
ill-fated Karluk, flag ship of the Stefan-
nsen expedition. ' -

To Mend Rubber Corks When the
rubber cork in the camphor or am
monia bottle breaks in two in the
middle, and no other of proper size
is at hand, put the two picees 'of . cork
together and push through both an
ordinary pin. This hold the pieces in"
place. .Then pass a narrow strip of
adhesive tape down one side of tho
cork, under and up on the opposite
side, leaving a half-inch of the tape
extending above the cork at either
side. Twist these two -. ends together.
The cork is removed from the bott -e
by pulling on the twisted' ends, which

Washington, June 18. With' the-sen-

ner' in which the .nation .is, to get back
on' a v-peace basis and apparently , little
hope Qf the jam being 'broken, the sug

on which to merge the resolution,;Pre

tion himself in order to -carry' on !the
pledges of a speedy -ending of the .tech
nical state of war. . ,
Senator Knox said today that consti
tutionally the President would .be well
within his rights . shouuld he take such
a step. The next step would be to -direct
the Secretary of State t oenter into
negotiations with Germany and Austria
for a formal treaty of peace.
The -deadlock existing -in the .'peace
situation has appered in that of disar
mament. Chairman Porter of the house
foreign affairs committee announced to
night that the disarmament resolution
will not be , called up in the House on
Monday, as had been intended. The rea
son assigned was the absence of so
many members on Monday.
The congressional jam over these
measures and differences over others
are effectually blocking progress toward
the accomplishment of a -taxation and
tariff program, for which the special
session was called. -
