The unofficial vote was Omaha, 504, and Fort Worth, 453. With the annual parade out of the {way, organization politics came in for | some consideration as delegates en- tered the third day of the national conyention of the legion. Scant attention was given to poli- | tics previous to the parade, as prepa- |rations for this pageant—a stirring review of 25,000 men—occupied the delegates’ idle moments. Talk of Gen. Pershing as the suc- cessor to National Commander J. R. Quinn continued today. but there ap- peared a deeper current, in evidence since the convention opened, pointing [to others as well. | Among those normally familiar with convention politics the name of James J. Drain of Washington, D. C., is figuring prominently. Many predict “dark horse” will be chosen. Addresses by former Judge K. Landis and George L.

Credit for the “Dawes plan” was given over to the League of Natlons by Mrs. William Atherton Du Pu; who addressed the gathering of the Davis-Bryan Progressive Democratic Club last night at the Shoreham Hotel. Mrs. Walter E. Hutton, presi- dent of the club, presided. “Dawes followed the proven method of the League of Nations when he wrote the plan for the rehabilitation of Germany,” Mrs. Du Puy sald. “Two operation a scheme to put Austria on its feet. The scheme had been evolved by the financial commission of the league. It worked. It was the one demonstrated plan for accomplishing such a task. Naturally students of such problems turned to it. “The first step in Austria had been to give it a currency with a stable value. Its krone was in the same plight as the German mark The league commission pro- vided for the establishment of a bank of issue which alone should be author- ized to print money. “The Dawes scheme does the same. It provided that this currency should have gold or its equivalent back of it; that it should be redeemable at a given gold value. The German bank is to do the same.. Thus is a currency established that makes bus- ine: possible. “When the Austrian plan was ready an American was asked to become the commissioner for administering it. It was felt that an American could be depended upon to be disin- terested. jected and a Dutchman, Dr. Zimmer- man. was appointed. The only Amer- ican to go to Austria with Lr. Zim- merman was my husband, William Atherton 'Du Puy. He witnessed the !'setting up of the Austrian plan. “That plan has since been applied to Hungary by the league. It is but natural that Gen. Dawes should have used proven methods. Gen. Dawes s, in fact, enthusiastic over the League of Natlons, but does not dare say so.” DAVIS CLUB PLANNED. Washington and Lee Men to Or- ganize Here.

There's grass to burn most everywhere, but we don’t yearn to trespass there; no signs an- nounce forbidden ground, there’s none to bounce us if we're found. The grass is clean on yonder hills, the grass grows green by rippling rills, and we are free to gambol there; no signs decree we must be- ware. We do not head that way, alas! We' long to tread verboten grass. I view the sign that warns off guys, and scalding brinc obscures my eyes. “I'd give," I say, “all kinds of glass, to stretch out flat upon that grass; I'd like to browse upon that green like bob-tailed cows or goats, I ween. I'd give my hat, my gems of glass, to stretch out fit upon that grass.” And as I view the grassy ground there's quite a crew of nuts around, who mark the sign and cuss in mass; they would recline upon that grass. Forbidden things are al- ways fine; we hate, like jings, the Keep Off" sign. And that is why some voters take their stoup of ryc when they awake. “You must not drink,” proclaims the law; they say, “We think we'll swig it raw.” The booze they hit, nine times or more, then throw fit upon the floor. They wake up blind or maybe dead and_have no mind for bitters red.” (Copyright.) WALT MASON. BREWER RESUMES ATTACK ON BUREAU Inquiry Into Alleged Bond Ir- regularities Blocked at Treasury, He Says. B. Brewer toda csumed his ack upon the methods em- ployed the Bureau of Enzraving and Printirg in a hearing before the House committee investigating Brew- er's charges of alleged duplication of Government securitie In thé course of his statement to- day in which he criticized many fea- tures of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon’s report to President Coolidge, on the production of bonds AMr. Brewer charged that he had again been interrupted in his efforts to check up Mr. Mellon's report, after only two days of investigation Tells of Being Halted. He had been given authority er said, by Undersecretary of the Treasury Winston to go throush the various records of the Treasury De- partment and looking deeper intc Mr. Mellon's report, under authority of the House investigating commit- tee. After two days and a half of such investigation, Brewer said he was “summarily J. F. Macoughtry. head security ction of loans currency. Mr. Brewer said this action was taken in pite of the fact that Winston had wiven him a letter of authority, and in spite of the fact that he repre- sented a committee of Conpress Renewing his general charge: duplication, Brewer declared thwre an open door somewhere along the line where bonds are obtained, and such a door is open in the process of destruc- tion. 1 know some of those lists are wrong. and in fome cases those bonds have not been destroyed.” All on Genuine Paper. He had never found. however. he ad- mitted, any securities which were not Charle and | printed in the Bureau of Engraving and on genuine Government paper. He ideclared he thought many of these duplicates “in error” and many of them “fraudulently issued.” Chairman McFadden of the commi tee aeked Harvey V. Speelman, registrar of the Treasury, for further records re- garding bonds which have been sent in for redemption, as to the name of the bank from which they came and the < stamped upon them. Mr. Speel- man indicated there might be “a great mans instances in which there are no marks,” but said he would be glad to furnish any further records which the committee requested Mellon's Report Criticized. Criticizing the report of Secretary Mellon, Mr. Brewer presented the re- sults of certain check-ups which had been made by himself and Harold F. Hanes, who is employed by the House committee as an investizator. The number of defective securities, Mr. Brewer said. as discovered by two separate lists, one in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the other in loans and currency, totaled about $300,000. In ecretary Mellon's report, about 1,786 duplicated numbers, which the Treasury claimed had been made by mechanical errors without loss to the Government. In comparing the Secretary’'s report of 1,786 errors against the 300.000 defective bonds as listed in the other two records. Mr. Brewer said he and Mr. Hanes had been able to find only six_numbers which corresponded. Thus.” Mr. Brewer told the com- mittee, “the Treasury’s theory of all these errors doesn’t seem consistent. Thinks Records Unrelated. “I could find little agreement be- tween records of varlous divisions of the Treasury Department—what the reason is, 1 cannot See, except it be carelessness.” Regarding the two lists, however. at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and in loans and currency of defective bonds, many of which were replaced by new ‘ones called “make-up” bonds, Mr. Brewer ad- mitted that “substantially those lists agree, but in thousands of cases they are different.” Mr. Brewer criticized the policy of initiallng as an inadequate protection and said that in his opinion the Treasury placed too great confidence upon the security of the Govern- ment's seal, which he declared might have been forged. Believes Some Fraudulent, “In this connection.” Mr. Brewer said, “T think many of these dupli- cates are in error and many of them were fradulently issued.” The practice of the Treasury in maintaining at Federal Reserve Banks so-called “revolving stock” of bonds was sharply criticized by Brewer as “dangerous.” He had warned Presi- dent Harding of this, Brewer said, and reported that shortly thereafter on June 30, 1922, this practice had been stopped. As controverting the authenticity of Secretary Mellon’s report regard- ing the shipment of bonds to Federal Reserve Banks, Mr. Brewer said, he had found two cases in which bonds had not been shipped as the Secretary reported. One of these he said he found a record of at the Fidelity Trust Co. of Baltimore. Brewer appeared before the com- mittee as its special representative assigned to the committee by the De- partment of Justice. He is being as- sisted by Mr. Hanes. At the hear- jings this morning were Chairman Mc- Fadden, Representative King of II- linois, Representative Steagell of Al bama and Representatvie Stevenson of South Carolina.
