OTHER NOTABLES AFFECTED Representative Edmofds. of Pennsyl- vania Has Introduced a Bill Strength- ening ‘the Old Statute and Fixing Severe Penaity.for Its Violaticn. By EBWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—There Is an old law, passed by congress in 1873, which pro- vidés that former federal officials'shall not appear as lawyers to prosecute claims against the government arising in their tenure or until they had been This law has | been disregarded for years, but the statement has been made here that steps will be taken ta enferce it striet- ly. This would affect many officials of the last administration now practicing law here, including Woodrow Wilson and Bainbridge Colby, who have a law partnership ; Robert Lansing, A. Mitchell Palmer, Joseph P. Tumulty, ! Edgar E. Clark, until recently chair- man of the interstate commerce com- misslon; Robert W, Wooley, a former member of the commission; Robert T. Seott; former secretary to Mr. Palmers; Daniel C. Roper and William M. Wil= linms, both former commissioners of internal revenue; -William H. Lamar, former solicitor of the postoflice de- | partment, and other well-knowd men. The statement was made at the same | time that the department of justice was considering an even more stringent l proposai, made by Representative D(l- monds of Pennsylvania, that the pro-| hibition against appearing in the | claims should be lengthened from two | to three years, should extend to former members of any governmental activi-| tles, and should be punished by a fine | of $10,000 or two years’ imprisonment, | or hoth, The Edmonds proposal is in the form of a bill which the author has already | | introduced. Daugherty’s Aid Discysses It. According to Assistant Attorney | General Guy D. Goff, only informal de- tion has been taken by the department of justice on the Edmonds bill. Ap- proval has been given to the measure | as being on sound legal grounds. One afternoon, some time ago, when Colonel Goft was giving testimony on an antl- Iynching bill, he was asked questions concerning the Idmonds bill. He says that his replies were the only expres- sion he had given on the subject. The present law preventing former ! officers from presenting claims says they must not appenr in such matters if the claims arose during their tenure in office or for two years afterwards. No penalty is attached to this old law of 1873, and there may have been some violations of it. Former Attorney General Palmer made a ruling that no one connected with the oflice of alien property cus- todlan could, upon resigning office, take part in claims before the section of the department of justice which handies these claims. Colonel Goff sald that the present administration of the de- partment had readopted this ruling. The ruling of Mr. Palmer applies to Thomas J. Spellacy, former assistant attorns peral, and to Frank P. Gar- van, former sistant attorney general and later alien property custodian, Burns Succeeds Flynn, No . surprist was o expre: Washington when_ Attorney Daugherty announced the that he had appointed William J. Burns of N York to be director of the burenu of investigation of the department of justice, Tt had been rumored for several months that Mr, clected fo. suceeed William Jo'Flynn, e and' Mr., gh- erty are personal friends, and ho'is al- ed in General other day so a friend of President Marding and supported him in the eampalzn of 1920, In making the’ announcement, the kubwn Mr, Burns personally ) s and have ched:him develop in his’specialty. He Is familiar | with all the departments of the govern- ment, is an intelligent and courngeous man, and at this time especially Is'con- |, sidered to hé as high a class a man as could bhe secired ‘to “assume the im- portant duties assigned him. The bu- reau will be reorganized as expedi- tiously as possible and brought to the | department «f justice can be worked ‘capes, the battleship is' npt obsolete, Fharbors are effective. e Ve S Sevérs Agency Connection. “Mr. Burns has severed his connec- tion with the Burns Detective Agency, and will come to Washington and de- vote his entire time to the service; It is the policy of this department, well understood by Mr. Burng and highly recommended by him, that the depart- ment of justice establish the most cor- dial relations with police officers throughout the entire country, and, in fact, throughout the entire world, to the end that there may be co-operation, and that life, property and the rights of the people may be preserved-and protected. “No partiality-will be shown in co- operating with police or other law en- forcement officers, public or private, but the best plan that can be con- celved wflb be adopted and carried out to see that the law is enforced and the best order possible prevail throughout the country, in so far as the govern- ment and the department of justice are concerned. ‘The President and T have known Mr. Burns for many years and know his ability and efficiency.” Mr. Daugherty believes a plan for co-ordinating all ‘the investigating agencies of the government under tlie out, but sald the appointment of Mr. Burns did not necessatrily mean this would be done. Complete Reorganization Forecast. Mr. Burns will receive $7,500 a year. According to the attorney general he is expected to make coraplete reorgan- ization of the bureau, reduce the force and bring it to a high point of effi- ciency. Mr. Burns served with the secret service from 1889 until 1907, and was considered during a great part of that time the star man of the force. His first big job, and perhaps the biggest that he has to his credit, came in 1898, | when he solved the mystery of the Monroe-head $100 silver certificates. rllese bills were so expertly counter- feited that government officials at first declared them genuine. Burns discov- ered that they were made by splitting $1 notes, washing them and photo-en- | graving them into certificates of $100 denonrinations. He sent four men to prison for coun- terfeiting these notes and a fifth for attempting to bribe him. Mr. Burns’ work in connection with the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times in October, 1010, when twenty- onc persons were killed, Is considered his second greatest feat. He was re- tained on this job by the mayor of Los Angeles, After seven months of work he caught and convicted the two Me- Numara brothers and two -other men | implicated in the dynamiting. It was at the request of Sccretary | of the Interior Hitcheock in 1903 that | President Roosevelt assigned Buins to | the land fraud investigation. As a re-| sult of his discoveries many sensation- | al convictions were made und the land | fraud game was put out of commission. Battleships Win the Verdict. According to the joint army and navy board that observed znd has re- ported on the aerfal' bombing tests by | the army and navy off the Virginin but must still be considered the back- bone of the navy. . The report, approved by Secrx-mry of War Weeks and Secretary of the Navy Denby demonstrated ‘the importance of avia- tion, but the battleship still is the na- tion’s chief relinnce at sea, despite the | development of airplanes as \\'anons‘ of offense and defense.

It is likewise essential that ef- fective anti-aircraft armament be de- veloped. Gigantic Force of Waves.

X The historlc = Thirteenth. century treasure of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, which was stolen from the saint’s shrine at Marburg last November, has boen recovered, according to the Ber- lin correspondent of .the London Times, after having been buried in the ‘back garden of a London subur- ban house. The recovery is due to the vigilance of the Frankfort police. Six men took part-in the robbery last” November, and five of them were arrested soon after. There was, however, no sign of the stolen treasury and the men obstinately denied all l:no\vledge of it. Eventually, the police gnt up to the tra of the sixth man, Emil Kell- man. It was found that in the mean- ‘tfme he 'had been to London; he was watched, however, and on his return he was arrested. During his detention the Inquiries of the detective led the police to believe that Kellman had hiddén ‘the jewels fn'England. It was assumed that if he were set free, he would probably get them.

NEW BIRCHMONT OWNERS * ENTERTAINED AT DINNER (Continued on Page 6) g stated that when the season was closed, which would be Saturday, a detailed report of expenditures would be issued and a statement given in full to all stockholders. Earle Barker, president of the Civ- ic and Commerce association, was called upon by the toastmaster "to give his opinion of the benefits der rived by business men from hotel guests and the effect of: their vaca- tions herc upon the community. Mr. Barker expressed: himself as being happy to know of the marvel- ous success made by the Birchmont hotel the first year under the stock- holdey ownership. He cited in- stances where money was being in- vested out of the city in stocks and bonds, and which brought little, if any, returns and encouraged the busi- ness men-to make all future invest- ‘ments with Bemidji institutions. He called attention to the number of; guests spending - their. vacations at} Birchmont and left. the thought with thoze present as to the amount of money éach had derived by their be- ing here during the summer months.
