WOULD GROUP SERVICES WITH SIMILAR PURPOSES Congressional Action Asked - as First Step in Work of Revamp- ing Government Departments. President Harding has called upon the reorganization committee for the preparation of 2 bill reallocating the Zovernmental services upon the prin- ciple of major purpose as the first step in the work of reorganizing the government departments. In a letter to Walter F. Brown, chairman of the congressional joint committee on reorganization, made public today, President Harding states that this {3 the crystallized view of the cabinet. ; At the' meeting of the committee today the letter was read. and the committee found itself in entire ac- cord with the desires of the President and his cabinet. President's Letter. Mr_Harding's letter follows: -“The problem ' assigned to your committee has been discussed at léngth in several recent meetings of the cabinet. The views of those charged with the responsibility of aldministering the executive branch of_the government have so far crys- tallized "that I ‘deem it proper to present for your consideration the Beneral conclusions. Since it is extremely difficult to ad- minister efficiently departments which include wholly dissimilar and unre- lated services, and quite impossible to administer economically identical or similar services which are scattered throughout several departments. it would seem necessary at the outset of the work of reorganization to pr vide a statutory regrouping of gov- erpmental activities to the end..as far as practicable, that each department shall be made up of agencies having substantially the same major purpose, and, further, that identical or similar services shall be grouped together. This task accomplished, the work of | ¥ eliminating_duplication by consolida- tion and otherwise and of devising efficient awministrative methods . for the several departments could then be taken up in logical order and prosecuted effectively. - “The executive and cabinet are of one mind, that. a bift-$eallocatm governmental | fervices upon t principle above outlified snpuld be ! prepared and strongly. recowmended to Congress {or as speedy, passage as possible, in ordde that there may be Tmo unnecessary -@elay n bringing about the governmental -economies which our duty enjoins upon us and which the country is demanding and expecting. To this end we pledge your committee oyr hearty considera- tion.” Following the meeting of the com- | mittee, Chairman wn, who is the representative of the President upon the committee, digtated the following letter to President Harding: “Your letter outlining the conclu- siong of the Executive and.the Cabi- net relative to the work’ of the con- gre nal joint committee on reor- ~ WEATHER.

VERSAILLES DOCUMENT " MAY BE FOUNDATION Preservation of American Status in ' Supreme Council Is One Phase of Situation. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. First steps toward the making of & treaty of peace between the United States and Germany wijll be taken im- mediately after Congress’' passes the Knox-Porter resolution this week. This became known officially today. | Until the congressional resolution is |out of the way, international nego- tiations cannot be begun. The reso- lution itself does not bind Germany or in any way establish peace with Germany. This fact is recognized by | President Harding and his associates. They believe, however, that when Congress passes the resolution a cer- tain psychological unrest will have been allayed, because, so far as do- mestic laws are concerned, the phrase: “duratien of the war” and “the pres- ent war emergency,” used in so many statutes, will have been wiped off the 1aw books. Mr. Harding realizes that the peace resolution of congress goes only part of the way and that he must then ne- gotiate a treaty which will establish diplomatic relations betwéen the United States and Germany. Preaident’s Resp ibility. The executive has felt that it was! unnecessary to move in that direction until congress had expressed itself. Now with the prospect of an early passage of the Knox-Porter resolu- tion, Mr. Harding feels that the re- | sponsibility for the next step is upon him. He has indicated that he will not delay action. In response to an inquiry as to whether the treaty of Versailles| would be used as a basis for peace- making with the Central Powers. it was significantly pointed out that the president had not withdrawn the statement made . in his address to congress, namely, that it might be wiser to “engage under the existing treaty” than to attempt a new treaty with Germany. The truth of the matter, as ex- plained at the Department of State, that the United States is not deal with' Geemany at all, but with . the allies. Nominally Germany signs the treaty, but having given away all her rights to lha.’l.l;i:s ‘tile latteP must say.whether.the ptovisions new. tredty with éermnny are satisfactory. 1t is the purpose of the Américgn gov- ernment to write the kind of treaty that will bring harmony rather than discord to the ranks of the allies.

The committee vote was unanimous after Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon- tana, had withdrawn a request that hearings be held.

The decision to report out the Borah bill, applicable only to American coast- wise ships, rather than the Jones-Poin- dexter biil, which would give all American shipping free canal passage, was reached, committee members said, because it was believed that it would be easier to pass a coastwise shipping 1. Another consideration, it was said, ‘was assurances to the committee that the British government conceded for- mally during the Taft administration that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty a thorized free tolls for coastwise Ameri- cani ships.

The second count nas to do with the actual murder. of Kaber, in which the woman, by her own tale, partici- pated by at least knowing of every preparatory step taken with the slay- ers.

Kaber's as- sassins had tiptoed through his home to get “the lay of the land” while Miss McArdle played a piano to drown the noise of their footsteps. She also is alleged to have said that the assassins demanded $5000 for committing the crime, but that T ‘Mrs. Kaber declared she would not| pay it unless her husband was killed with some weapon so that she could collect an accident insurance policy.” This was denied by Mrs. Kaber.

Five hundred dollars had been given to Mrs. Colavito, she said, in her al- leged confession. to be paid the as- sassins in part. The money was given to her, she alleges, by a fortune teller, ‘who is being held, and who is said to ve acted as “go-between.” The 500 was paid, Mrs. Colavito said, after she telephoned Mrs. Kaber that the men had threatened her. Four. Men. Still at Large. The fortune teller is said to have a@mitted handling the money, but Mrs. Kaber contradicted both women's { statements. A man who was questioned is de- clared to have-told the officers that Mrs. Kaber offered him a large resi- dence on Euclid avenue, which she pointed out, if he “would do the work for her,” and also stated she would glve him a big automobile “if I would promise to run down her husband and kill him with it” These statements Mrs. Kaber also. denied.
