George H Carter is legally qualified to hold the office of public printer, nccording to a legal opinion given to President Coolidge today by the Des partment of Justice to whom the President had referred a petition from Typographical Union 101 ask- ing for the removal of Mr. Carter, alloging that his appointment was llegal. Bascom Slemp, Secretary to the President, made this known at the ‘White House following two separate conferences with a delegation of the Bookbinders' Union, No. 4, and the Pressmen's Union, of this city, both delegations indorsing Mr. Carter's ad- ministration of affairs at the govern- ment printing office and giving as- surance that there is no opposition to him by their unions. Member of Union. . MecHugh, the Pressmen's delegation, among other things told Secretary Slemp that Carter is a member of the Press- men’s union, which he contended Is sufficient to qualify him to hold of- fle The contention of Typographical Union No. 101 which left a petition with Secretary Slemp several days ago asking for Carter's removal set forth that the latter was disqualified because he was neither a practieal printer nor bookbinder, as is_stipu- ated in the law governing the ap- pointment of the publie printer, Pres- ident Coolidge referred the m er to the Department of Justice. The bookbinders” delegation was 0 have been accompanied to the White House by Senator Moses, chair- man of the Senate committee on printing, but he was prevented from Joining them because of pressure of business. The members of the dele- gation stated that there has been a n ement started on the part of a minority of the printery personnel to have Mr. Carter removed. They sald &also that the action o the part of Typographical Union No. 101 in ask- ing fer the removal did not represent the convictions of the majority of the members of that union. Leave Statement. The statement of the bookbinders left with Secretary Slemp, which the latter will later place before the President, follows, in full: “This committee with proper cre- dentials, representing Local Union No. 4, International Brotherhood of Bookbinders, are here to request that our union, composed very largely of emploves 'of the government prin ing office, be placed in the right at- titude toward President Coolidge. “It has heen represented that Mr. George H.

B. hether to determine the normal tax rate reductions first and frame the sur- taxes on the basis of these cuts or to revs e the proposition. Regardless of differences over the surtax rates, Chairman Green said all republicans of the committee had agreed ta abide by the decision of their majority for purposes of getting the Bill favorably reported from' committee This action, however, he said, would not bind the members to support the rates when the bill reaches the House. The reduction in income tax was voted yesterday by the majority members, and they decided to work out an income rate sehedule of their own, according to Crairman Green. because of the roe fusal of the democrats to accept their offer to compromize and draft a non- partl: plan. Representative Gar- ner, "Poxas, ranking democrat on the committee, insisted, however, that the repubiicans had offered no con- crete compro e and, there: 3 had been refused.

Senator Ball asked Mr. Syme if he did not represent a bus line operating here and if that llne was not now asking for an incresse to 10 cents in fare. Mr. Syme replied that he did represent the bus line and that, in his opinion, the ten-cent fare should be granted. Defends Rate Deelston. Mr. Syme was questioned by both Senator McKellar and Senator Ball regarding the fincreases allowed in street car fares here since the begin- ning of the war. He told the com- mittee that after the wdr came on the population had increacel here enormously and that it had been very difticult to get labor and that all costs had increased. He said that the Pub- lic Utilities Commission had made a careful study of the situation before granting increused rates. Tne prin- cipal question involved during the War was to provide the people with transportation. He defended the de- cision of the commission fixing the same rate of fare for the Capital Traction Company and the Washing- ton Railway and Electric Company, althourh the Capital Traction Com- pany was able to earn a greater re- turn on its investments than the other company. o have fixed a lower rate for the apital Traction Company, he safd, would have gaused o many" people 1o | seek to ridé on the Capital Traction : Cempany lne that it would have been | impossible for that company to han- dle them, and at the same time would | have so seriously reduced the reve- | nue of the Washington Railway and ; Blectric Company as to endanger its continued operation i Senator Stanley of Kentucky want- | ed to know whether & zoning plan, | whereby pussengers who traveled a ! longer distance would pay more had | been considered in fixing rates of fare! here.

Senator MeKellar asked if the in- creased fare now charged had not] been superinduced by war conditions. | fme ugreed to this, and added | that fares had been increased in other | cities for the same reason. Senator Ball called attention to the fact that street car fares in Memphls, {enn., Senator McKellar's home city | naa been 7 “ye. increased to 7 cents. | " said Senator McKellar, “and the fare is held at that point by & | public utilities commission against the desires of the citizens.” Senator McKellar aiso called atten tion to the fact that a five-cent fa had been retained in New York cit But Senator Ball insisted that it was unfalr to compare New York with !

The vote was unanimous. Eigh elght senators cast their ballots. Hughes Indues Denial. Persistent reports that the oil leases had been discussed at cabinet meetings brought forth a statement from Secretary of State Hughes. Mr. Hughes said the ol leases had never been brought before the cabinet, as ar as thelv legality was concerned, and that he, personally, had no knowledge of them. The Secretary's statement was in response to a sug- gestion in Congress yesterday that he, as a former justice of the Su- preme Court, give his opinion as to their legality.

It was the first the President has had with democratic senators since the oil lease Inquiry assumed paramount importance. Returning to the subject of Mr. Gragory's connections with the Guif "Oll Company, Senator Walsh indicated that the proposed amend- ment of Senator McKellar, democrat, of Tennessee, providing that none of the government's counsel should be ien who ever had connections with interests, would not receive the united support of democratic sena- tors Such a connection, it was pointed out, might not necessarily render an attorney biased in his judgment and Walsh added that if such a were to be raised, he himself might be challenge: gutor.

Th was only one way which " the legislative branch could remove a cabinet officer, he uald, and that was by impesch- ment. Declaring the effect of the resolu- tion was to deprive a citizen of the protection afforded by fundamental law, Senator Lodge sald it purposes to infict a punishment which to the man involved would be more severc than anything else except capital punishment. “It is lynch 14w that is intended here,” concluded the party leader, with evident emotion. “T think it a violation of every principle of jus- l[?ei and every guarantee of a fair trial.

The most that I have heard is that he was intimately connected with what transpired in this corrupt transac- tion.” ‘Would Delay Resolution. Senator Pittman suggested that the Trammell proposal should not be pressed at this time. In his judg- ment, he sald, an emergency existed calling for the immediate passage of the Walsh resolution, without compli- cating the situation by a prolonged debate over Mr, Denby. Bilas H, Strawn, oue of the special | counsel melected by the President to conduct the government's investigation. was at the White House early today. Arrangements were made for a con- ference between Mr. Strawn and J. Crawford Biggs of Kuegn, N. C., an attorney said to have been Intimately acquainted with the ofl land poli- cles carried out by Secretary Daniels under the Wilson administration. 1o the midst of these developments rumors of cabinet changes, involv- ing the retirement of Secretary | Denby and Attorney General Daugh- jerty. continued to fly thick and fast, | but Secretary Slemp denled fiatly a story that the two cabinet members had placed their resignations before the President. Although Mr. Gregory, who is to act with Mr. Strawn. i3 on his way to { Washington, there were evidences | vesterday that something might have Eone amiss in the plans, and it was even more apparent today that the make-up of the government's counsel was a subject still accupying a large share of attention in adminsitration cirel It was to talk over that subject that Chairman Lenroot of the oil committee and Senator Curtis of Kansas, the republican whip, made an early morning trip to the White i House. Later Senator ILavige, the 1 republican floor leader, also called on the President before his conference with the democratic leaders.

Getting down to voting after sixteen 8 of debate, the Benate rejected terday an amendment to the Walsh annulment resolution which would have modified the language of the pre- amble s0 us to eliminate direct charges that Full oil leases were illegal. The vote was 48 to 38. The amendment, by Senator Lenroot, republican, Winconsin, would have sub- stituted the phrase ‘under circum- stances giving rise to serious question of legality” for ‘“entered into without authority on the part of the: officlals pUrporting to act in the execution of the same." Six republicans and the two farmer- labor senators from Minnesota, John- son_and Shipstead, voted with the solid minority against the amend- ment. The republicans were John- son, -~ California; Brookhart, Tow: Frasler and Ladd, North 'Dakot: orbeck, South Dakota, and Norrls, Nebraska. Another amendment having some- what the same purpose, by Senator Sterling, republican, South Duakota, was voted down, 47 to 37. Would Change Phrasing. Senator Sterling's amendment, pro- posing the substitution of “contra- vention" for “definance” in the phrase that “such leases and contracts were made in deflance of the settled policy of the government,” was voted down 48 to 37. On this, the third roll call, Sen- ators Borah, Idaho, and Jones, Wash- ington, republicans, joined the six other republicans who had voted with ;lus democrats on the two other bal- ots. | Assails Fall and Denby. Both Mr. Fall and Secretary Dénby were assailed on the floor of the Senate by Senator Trammell, demo- crat, Florlda. He declared Fall should be prosecuted and made an example for other men “who may called to positions of trust. “Fall will be prosecuted” Senator Trammell said, “but what about the Secretary of the Navy? He has shown a reckless disregard of his duties.” Senator Trammell said the Senate should express its condemnation of the leases in no unmistakable terms be and he argued against any changes in_the Waish resolution Senator Norbeck, republican, South Dakota, told the Senate that before debate cnded he wanted to pay a tribute to the “earnestness and very great ability” of Sens tsh of Montana, in the conduct of the in- vestigation. “The committee would have gotten nowhere,” said Senator Norbeck, “had it not been for the diligence and de- termination to get at the truth that Senator Walsh displayed.- Lauds Walsh's Serviee, “The investigation lasted for months and there only were suspi- clons. Some members of the commit- tee had other dutles and they did get discouraged. But one man stayed on the job at all times. I think he Mas performed a very great public service.” Senator Caraway, democrat, Arkan- sas, author of the original cancella- tion measure, said the umendments offered to the Walsh resolution had Deen to “take the sLing out of it” and emed designed togbe “‘apologetic to those who have beffayed their coun- “They seem to say to the peopl ho betrayed their country for gold Senator Caraway declared, “‘We will not let the courts be too harsh with vou; we'll make it as easy as pos- sible. or my part, I intend to stamp them with all the odium the law per- mits.’ mertion Comtradicted. His assertion that all the positive action came from the democratic side was contradicted by Senators Norris and Lenroot. ““The original resolution would have canceled evefything,” insisted Senator Caraway. “It would have said the Senate will not condone treason.
