oot: on saova xis Spirit Of Rebellion In Capital Against Lord Surging To High Pitch Growing Influence of l)i reclor of Budget in Mat ter# of Appropriation" Kcsentcd |>y Old Timers IS GETTING NOWHKItK So Long Am General Ha? , f Favor of Goolidge and ft Backing of American I'eo 1 \ pic Vi ill Likely Garry On lly KORKKT T. S.MAI.I. (Co?ri?nt. 1*39. b? Th? AivBMC*) Washington. Nov. 27. ? A spirit akin to lively rebellion is rising in the Government depart men ta against the Director of th?- Kxecti tlve Dudicd. General H. M. I?ord. There Is also the imminent possi bility of a clash between the bud get head and several of the im portant committee* of Congress ut the eoming n^s^lon. The charge freely is heard about Washington that General I?ord has arrogated to himself the powers and prero gatives of a czar. Instead of be ing Just a plain Lord, it is assert* ed he regards himself as a sort of over-lord, superior to every member of the Cabinet and dic tator even to the two Houses of Congress. ^Congressmen arriving In the city are exceptionally frank In their informal criticism of the Di rector of the ItudKet. Just how far they will go in carrying their fight to the floor of the House re, mains to be seen. A Brest d? al. In fact very much, will depend upon the frame of mind In which the uational legislators find Pres ident Coolidge. Not a few are pre paring to take their grievances to! him and say It Is time for a show-, down as to whether or not the director of the budget can. to all | intents and purposes, rob the Con gress of Its constitutional runr-. tions. Everybody appears to boj picklttK on Congress these days. The peoplo of the country seem to toe out of sympathy with the na-f I tlonal legislative body and with out their support Congress does not. AP!>e* r ablo to get any place. If It knows Just where It is head ed. or, in the language of another day. Juat where It la "at." The charge comes from Capitol Hill that General Lord, not hesi tating at any time flatly to turn down various recommendations of the head of an executive depart- r ment. exercises such a further In fluence over Cabinet heads and departmental subordinates that these officials literally are afraid to go before committees of Con gress and urge the things they re gard as essential to the Govern ment service, but which have not caught the autocratic fanrv of the budget bead. Cougress it Is said has been thwarted in its efforts to get in formation from executive depart ments because of the dread of britiRlnK down the displeasure of General I*ord and of being pun ished at. his hands by further de nials of executive requests for ap propriations. It there ?s ono iiffng a novo an other that CnngroM dors not like it is being thwarted. But from all accounts General Lord haa re cently r| tia I i n? d hh the nil-Ameri can thwartnf and Is llkoly to con tinue in that rolo for some time to conic. II in henlr.n influence ex tends every whero and ho long as he haa the support of President CoolldKo, who Is th'- final arbiter In budget matter?., titer*' Is little I chance of the antULord "rebel* lion" getting much beyond the talk stage. It will provide? plen ty of the latter during the long winter months JiihL ahead. One Western Congressman as Mrted today that Oennral tord haw become 80 all-powerful that Congres* w a* virtually afraid to Inikt1 an appropriation of any sort unless lirst obtaining the approval of General Urd. Tin general doesn't yet control what la called the legislative hill. In which Con gress makes appropriations for Its own needs. Congress atlll Is su preme in that one, lone field, if tho general could hnv?? controlled the legislative bill he undoubtedly would have turned down that re cent Inoc-asr in salary which Con gress voted Itself. President Cool Idge, however. ' gave the Increase his approval. Where General Lord fc l? IiIh position In particularly strong Ih that the people of the country heartily are In favor of Govern mental economy and that Is what , the general Is endeavoring to give them. At fhe Mitchell court martial i' has been made to appear that pos sibly General I*ord la the dark gentleman In th" cord of wood so far aa America's backwardness In air plane equipment Is concerned. General 1/ord can say a final yes or no to any recommendations made by tho Army chleftt. The (fact that he was until a few year* ago a member of th eAmiy estab lishment has seemed to make him, harsher with the War Department than almost any other branch of the QfTerouctir .

In scheduled for Tuen day morning. Duvall and Cham- ; hers diiuipiH-arnl Immediately af ter tin* charge* were preferred against them, hut returned vol untarily a few days ago. and were placed under $100 bond each for their appearance In court. Tin* charges originally pre-; ferred against Duvall and Cham he rs were highly sensational lu charaeter. They were brought as a result of a statement by one of the girl*, said to be 1 4 or 15 years old. whieh was to the effect that she wan forced to drink liquor , and aftnrwards was attacked. It i Is understood, however, that re cently she has signed an affidavit | denying that she was a victim of | an attack. Police of this Stale and Vtr-j glnla carried on an Intensive hunt j for the two men for several weeks j after the incident of th*? automo bile ride, but without results. Chambers and Duvall eluded them until a few days ago. when they came in of their own accord and ' surrendered. It Is rumored that ? both made occasional visits to this j city while they were sought, com ing iu disguised as negroea on one! occasion. While the chargcM against the | two are of a serious character. It i Is believed that little will come of I the caso when It is heard In court,' through the fact that, those who Investigated It are now inclined to; the opinion that no serious of fense was committed.

Getting Away and None to Take lis Plaee LAST FIVE YEARS Liquor Not Considered Potable W hen Less Than Lour Years Old So What Will Happen? (Cftfynftit. MU. ?? TM A<MMI Washington. Nor. 27. ? The le gitimate consumption of whiskey In the I'nited Static has settled down to a steady outflow of ap proximately 2. 000, 000 gallons a year Thli Is the whiskey dis pensed through drug stores on 1 doctors' prescriptions. There Is virtually no other "leak" In the) bonded whiskey under Govern- 1 meat supervision. Bootlegging In genuine "red" liquor virtually Is a thing of the past. I At the present rate of outgo i there Is about five years' supply ? of good whiskey left in the con- ; centration warehouses. No liquor , Is being distilled today to take; the place of the fine "old stock"' being issued in small lots to the ' retail druggists. As liquor Is not regarded as po- < table in normal circumstances un- i der four years of age. It will be j seen that either distilling must soon be resumed or else liquor) for medicinal purposos soon will all have to be Imported from Eur-j ope or Canada. There Is of ( course a third possibility, the en-! tire shutting off of medicinal li quor by an amendment to the Volstead Act. This latter possi bility is by no means a remote one. despite the general feeling through the country that a more liberal sentiment la setting in. Congressmen still are ahaky at the knees every time the word prohi bition Is mentioned in their pres ence. ? The dispensing of two million gallons a year means a percaplta ' consumtion of about 1-2 a gill a year. If every man. woman and child ' In the United State* should with- ? draw or buy a pint of liquor av-j ery 10 daya. which Is the maxl- 1 mum prescription allowance un- 1 dor existing Treasury regulations. ! tho annual consumption In the! I'nlted States would be some- . thing like 099,000.000 gallons. If only adults are counted to a fam- ; lly their annual consumption would be 396.000,000 gallons. The medicinal liquor allowance on proscription is only taken ad vantage of, therefor*, at the rat* of about one 200th of one peri cent, which Is far below the stand ard Volstead rate of one-tenth of ouo per cent. The chief distributing points of legitimate liquor today are New York. Chicago. Philadelphia. IjOuIsvIIH*, New Orleans and San Francisco. New York consumes 15 and 1* per cent of all the whiskey Bold through the druggists. Ordinar ily New York Is rates as an ex- 1 tremely healthy city, but the pro hibition figures cant some doubt upon that proud boast. Maybe there In a lot of suppressed 111 neaa in the metropolis which no one ever knows about. In the concentration ware-, houses of the country It Is esti mated there remain about 16. 000,000 gallons of bourbon and i rye. This would seem to provide an eight years" supply st the rate of 2,400.000 a year, but a con- j slderable proportion of the liquor ? Is In unmarketable condition and ! will be destroyed. The liquor being sold today la declared to be the finest ever ' placed on the Amerlcsn market. None of It Is under eight years of age and some of It is an old as 14 years. There is plenty of 1 1 nnd 12 year old stock being bot tled for the medical trade. As a matter of fact whiskey, tinder the Volstead Act. has he roine a pharmaceutical product rather than a beverage snd the business of handling old "red eye" has herome the most highly re spectable of callings. The druggists of the country j are making what would ordinar ily be considered an enormous profit out of their liquor sales. They pay $32.50 to flO a case for the beat whiskey snd cell It for from $65 to $72 In one pint lots. The public does not under stand. however, that druggists, be ing graduates In pharmacy and skilled. are entitled to a profes sional as well as a merchandising proftt.

Mr. Davis relates, ad ding that on the water front there were a few scattered bar rooms and a store or two. The principal business section was on Leather Hill and In that vi cinity, the chief stores being on South Road street* The yearn have wrought many changes for the better, Mr. Davis observe*. He Is a brother of Bert and Charlie Davis, of this city. FRESH OUTBREAK IN NORTH SYRIA Beirut, Syrls. Nor. 27. ?
