War ren of Michigan for the place. Notwithstanding the senate's first j rejection of Warren, the President sent back ills name Thursday. Saturday, with debate still, going, a statement was given out from tiie White House which in effect was this notice- to the senate. "Confirm Warren or I will offer him a recess appointment the moment you adjourn." Conceive. If you can. the outraged dignity of the opposition senators and their fiery de termination to protect the senate's constitutional right to "advise and con firm." Anyway, the senate, after an exciting debate Monday, again rejected Warren, this fime by a majority of seven votes. Tuesday letters between the President and Warren were made public. The President reiterated his regard and his promise of a recess appointment. Warren expressed his appreciation and declined a recess ap pointment. Thereupon tha President nominated S.i rirfiit. Few of t l?t? sen ators had ever heard of him. The sen ate confirmed t he nomination without debate- -wit li'out even a roll call~ar.il adjourned Wednesday. Attorney Honeral Sargent is a close friend of the President, lie lives at Ludlow, Vt. Me is sixty-live years of as:.', over six feet tall and weighs 250 I'otimis. lie is a Tufts college man. He was attorney general of Vermont from i!K>s to I ; H 12. IS THERE a curse that follows cer tain fortunes'; Is the old saying true that "Murder will out?" Or can murder he made safe? These ques tions are raised by the sensational "McClintock case" in Chicago. In INTO a rich Knglishuian of tit 1?"* died. Ilis widow married William Hickling. She died at Ottawa. III. Her husband and heir married Sarah Hens ler. I lick liny: died. The widow mar ried William McClintock and died. In 1 ; K?? McClintock moved to Chicago and married Kmtna Nelson of Topeka, Kan. April ;j. 11 hi.", William Nelson McClin tock was horn. In lDUa William Mc Clintock was killed h.v accident and William I>. Shepherd and his wife went to live with the widow and her little son. In l'.xi!) Mrs. McClintock (lied suddenly. She left her son Hilly more than a million dollars, with the Shepherds in almost complete control of hoy and fortune. November 2::. I'.ilM, IUIlv fell ill of typhoid fever. December 1, his fiancee, .Miss I sa belle Pope. took out a mar riage license, but Shepherd prevented a marriaire. December f< Hilly died, leaving Shepherd his heir, with in structions to provide for .Miss I'ope. December -4 Chief Justice llarrv Ol son of the Chicago Municipal court, whose brother. Or. Oscar Olson, died suddenly three. years ago after a visit from the Shepherds, had RiJIy's body disinterred fur an autopsy. Shepherd cleared himself of suspicions. Judge Olson revived the .case. Today Shepherd and "Dr." Charles C. 1'aiman are under indictment, charged with the murder of Hilly Me Cliniock by inoculation with typhoid germs, Faiman has confessed I tint he furnished the germs to Shepherd. lie himself was to receive $100,000. The indictment raises the possibility- of Shepherd's being charged with the death of both Billy's mother and Doc tor Olson. A complicated legal con test for the million-dollar estate is presumable, with Shepherd, seven cousins of Billy and Miss Pope .as litigants. U. KRNST. I wish to know if there by any way under the rules of the senate whereby I can. . . call a fellow member a willful, mali cious liar? It was the senator from Kentucky who .said it. last Saturday during de hate on the "investigation of t lie in ternal revenue bureau by the commit tee of which Couzens of Michigan is chairman and Krnst is a member. In cidentally Krnst had been defending the action of the treasury in making an additional assessment of approxi mately $11,000,000 against Couzens on his nay income tax because of profits on the sale of his Ford stock. Krnest interrupted Glass of Virginia, who went charging across, demanding that the Kentucky senator "be specific." Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, stepped into the breach. Krnst was made to take his seat, and order was finally restored. Later Krnst was given a chance to withdraw his language and to" say that he was referring to Couzens, not Glass. It seems that Krnst had failed to hear Couzens accusing him of being a spy in the committee for the treasury. When he found out about it, he erupt ed. Borah of Idaho took occasion to say, "it is a pathetic thing, a very pitiable thing, that we have reached a point here in the'senate of the United States where we cannot discuss public questions' without indulging in person alities." AMERICA fought the Spanish American war in 1898, signed the treaty of peace with Spain in 1S00 and evacuated Cuba in 11)02. All this left in doubt the status of the little Isle of Pines off the Cuban coast. In 1904 the State department made a treaty with Cuba, fixing the Island as a Cuban possession. Every president since McKlnley has approved that treaty; secretaries of state like Root and Hughes have urged its ratification. I ast Friday the senate got around to 'i vote on it ami ratified it. with only 1-} opposing votes. Had the senate come to n vote at any time during all those twenty years Of <lilly-?i:i I ly iiitr. the result would pre sumably have been the same. So slow a performance of an art <if good faitlv has heen a grave reproach to the United Slates, In all probability the senate's neglect to iiet has been a con tributing factor in the lack of Latin American confidence in the justice ami good faith of the I'nited States. CT, PATRICK'S day found Ameri ^ cans ol' Irish blood in the hiood for celebrating and the festivities were na tion-wide. The shamrock was much in evidence and the blackthorn con spicuous by absence. President Wil liam T. Cos:: rave pointed out that the day found the Irish Free State mistress in her own house., with peace estab lished from Mai in Head to Cape Clear and from I>ubliii to Gal.way. Her peo ple, lie said, had begun to realize that disagreement of Irishmen must be set tled by methods of civilized and con stitutional customs; The Irish nation ha?l never been more confident of the future. EVIDENTLY the lot of the star of professional baseball is not en tirely "hard work and no play," Any way. the accompanying photograph ! from the spring training grounds of the New York Giants at Sarasota, I Til., would seem to suggest something to that effect. It shows six happily-mar ried Giants and their wives wiio see that the sulphur ami molasses is taken regularly. The photographer is evi-. dently a married man, since "ladies j .first" is his motto. From left- to -right 1 the couples are: ..Mrs. and Mr. Groli. Mrs: and Mr. Frisch'. Mrs. and- Mr. Ryan. Mrs. and Mr. Meitsel. Mrs. and Mr. Wilson and Mrs. and Mr. Crump. Tiie fan needs no introduction to the tirst ?four "Misters": the last two are "rookies" who may some day aston ish the baseball world and draw down even more money than Captain Frisch. TWKXTY-FOFR organizations have held this week in Chicago, the "All out o' Imors Annual Nature Exhibit." Its purpose is to foster outdoor recre ation, and to interest the public in na , ture study and in the conservation of plant and; animal life. "Good Man ' tiers Out of Doors" was the subject of : general discussion at the annual luncheon. This exhibit is important.- Many varieties of wild (lowers are doomed to I extinction unless the American people can be educated to mend their ways. ; Outdoor recreation is being promoted by many thousands' of good Americans who see in it the best antidote for the ; manifold ills of a civilization too stren i uous and complex to be sane and safe. And our out-of-doors manners are unbelievably and increasingly bad. They ure so bad, indeed, that unless ; tin* are greatly improved property owners in many parts of the scenic I West are likely to establish shotgun j quarantine and the camping automo ' bile tourists will be herded Into auto I camps under police regulation. DKAD as a doornail is apparently the "protocol of arbitration and security" of the League of Nations. Austen Chamberlain announced its re jection by the British government. M. Briand defended it. Doctor Benes of Czecho-Slovakia proposed that it be I referred to the next League assembly in September. This was done. It is the capital's , belief that president Coolidge will call a second arms con ference for next fall in Washington in advance of the League assembly. It seems to be the general opinion that (France will accept an invitation to at-, i tend, provided the problem of French I security has been solved-*- which is a j problem for European nations rather I than for the proposed arms conference. DR. EDWARD I5ENES, foreign min ister of Czecho-Slovakia, Tuesday proposed to Premier Herriot of France the creation of a United States of Europe, divided into two eastern and western groups. Marquis Curzon of Keddleston, lord president of the council, and British statesman, died Friday aged sixty-six His first wife was Mary Victoria Loiter of Chicago. Jacob Gould Schurman, minister to China, was named Tuesday by the President to be ambassador to Ger many.

Twenty-eight local land offices were abolished in an executive order signed recently, by President Coolidge in Washington.

The concluding oral arguments In the supreme court, in Washington, on the constitutionality of tins Oregon law requiring children between 8 and 1G years of age, to attend state schools brought further questions from the justice recently, which indi cated to an intensely interested au dience that contentions in behalf of the act were meeting with little suc cess. Although the VVar-hing'on govern ment maintained complete silence on the recent demonstrations in Peru against th" arbitral award made by President C'oolidge. of the Taena-Ari- i ca controversy, it was learned from ' othvr sources that these anti-Anwri- j can demonstrations were of wide spread and serious nature, and that Merman Velarde, the Peruvian am bassador here, may withdraw from Washington as a personal protest.
