When the matter was first brought | up officials of the Civil Service Com- mission made it clear that they had no objection to Mr. Eldridge personal- ly, and even pointed out that he had | formerly been in the Government | service as an official of the Bureau of | Public Roads for a number of years. { They felt, however, that the legal | question of whether the office of traffic | director is under civil service should | be_settied. The contentions of the Commis- | sioners were prepared by Maj. Daniel | J.

The traffic act gives full | power to the Commissioners of the | District of Columbia to appoint aggi- irector of trafic and places ne restric- {tions upon the appointment. | therefore, that, in my opinion, neither !the airector of traffic nor the pereons | ion his staff are members of the Metro- | politan Police force, and the Commis- isioners of the Déstrict of Columbia are inot required by the act of December 15, 1919, supra, to appoint the director | iand persons on his staff in the same imanner as classified civil service em- | ployes are appointed.” Alla Nazimova Divorced.

NEW YGRK, August 6.—An inves- tigation by the district attorney of | Queens County into the adoption of | Mary Louise Spas, young daughter of immigrant parents, by Edward Browning, wealthy divorced realtor, was sought today by Commissioner of Public Welfare Coler. The commissioner said the investi- gation was prompted by charges that Browning had given money to Mary's parents in return for their signing the adoption papers. He added, how- ever, that it was a violation of long- established precedent for a divorced man to be permitted to adopt a child in this city. “It {s the most unmoral transaction that has ever come to my notice,” Mr. Coler said. “Somewhere in the laws of this country there must be a statute that a parent cannot sell a| child. If there is not such a law we will make one." The adoption did not pass through his office, the commissioner explained, since Mary Louise was not “a de- | pendent chila. { Divorced Men Barred. “We do not allow the adoption of | children by foster parents of a dif- | ferent faith,” he added, “and we never allow divorced persons to adopt chil | dren who are under our surveillance. | Mary Louise was the successtul ap- plicant for the adoption out of 12,000 answers received by Mr. Browning | when he advertised for a child to be- | come a companion to 9-year-old Dor- othy Sunshine Browning, whom he earlier adopted.

By the Associated Press. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., August 6.—Americans prestige in Central America has waned in the last five years and American ministers there have generally been political pointees unprepared for their duties, Otta Schoenrich, former special com missioner to Santo Domingo, said at a conference of the Institute of Poli- tics today. “Lack of continuity in the State Department and the unfamiliarity of the American officials with Central American affairs ‘are among the causes of the diminution of our in- fluence,” Mr. Schoenrich said. ““The ministers have generally been ignorant of the Spanish language and absolute- ly unprepared. Aid Is Necessary. ““The political developments of these countries and the material hdevelop- ment of most of them is behind the world standard. Unless we render ef- ficient assistance, conditions may arise which might force us to take over one or more of the Caribbean coun- tries or allow some foreign power to do so." America’s Caribbean policy he de- scribed as wavering. President Roose- velt took a strong attitude, but the policy of the United States was not firm with Charles E. Hughes as Secre. tary of State, Mr. Schoenrich said, as- serting that what was accomplished was largel through moral suasion and “bluff.” He referred to President Wilson's course in Mexico as “pusil- lanimous” and sald Mr. Wilson was swayed from a strong attitude by considerations of European policy.
