Mr. Brush is an old friend of the President’s and is frequently moned by the latter to confer reg: ing, principally, matters of shipping and business. 'Their friendship de- veloped at the time the President was Governor of Massachusetts and Mr, Brush was head of the Boston ele- vated system. He has a high regard for the latter’s ability and his opinions generally carry much weight with Mr. Coolidge. Mr. Brush has recently been in the South and Southwest and he expressed the opinion today that business generally is in ‘a splendid condition. Tomorrow President Coolidge will have a guest at his camp, Will R. Hays, former Postmaster General in the Harding cabinet and now czar of all the cinema. The movie boss was born and reared in Indiana and, like all other Hoosiers, would rather talk politics than eat. Therefore, it is natural to assume that he and the President will have a good, old-fash- ioned political talk. Representative Ogden L. Mills of New York, who has been frequently mentioned as the probables Republican nominee for governor, was a guest at White Pine Camp yesterday afternoon. He was accompanied by Mrs. Mills and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, widow of the former Ambassador to Great Britain, at whose camp the Mills are iting for a few days. Added significance was given to Rep- resentative Mills’ visit with the Presi. dent by reports here tdday, that lead- ing Republicans are actively consider- ing Mr. Mills as the head of the State ticket following the weakening of the Cropsy boom. These reports ad reached Mr. Mills at the Stregis Lake Camp. Asked about the nomination and about Justice Cropsy’s chances Mr. Mills replied: 1 “All T have to say is that there has been a lot of guessing and some of it has been bad.” Intimations that the House member is to be given a run hefore the people in order that his availability for the nomination may be tested, caused the assumption that the G. O. P. chiefs are considering abandoning the plan of nominating a moderate with Sena- tor Wadsworth, and are willing, if necessary, to give the voters two wets jon the ticket even at the expense of upstate dry votes. That the party is moving away from anything that might look like a split ticket is indi- cated by the weakening of Justice Cropsy's ohancets. following word that e wants an enforcement pla State platform.

ROBBERS TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED H[]USE n [; STUI]Y U. 3. BUREAUS HELD 10 DEFY ATTACKS Representative Wood Re- peating Vain Plea for Change, Says Writer. BY DAVID LAWREN Announcement by Representative Will R. Wood of Indiana, chairman of the Republican congressional cam- paign committee, of his intention to lead a movement for the abolition of independent commissions and estab- lishments so that they would be en- tirely under the control of the Chief Executive is in line with previous ef- forts to get rid of the Federal Trade Commission and similar_institutions that have heen bi-partisan—efforts that have not had the slighest chance of success. There are several things on which Congress has tenaciously insisted—the disposal of public property, such as the Government fleet: control of tariff rates and inquiries and the right to nquire into corporate management through an agency which is thorough- v independent of the Department of Justic Theoretically there is no reason why the Federal Trade Commission should not be a bureau under the di- rect control of the Attorney General, in_effect, proposed by Representa- tive Wood. But the Federal Trade ission was created because of condition which. it is Mr. intention to cure, namely, the political influence. In practically every administration, Democratic as well as Republican, the President has exer- cised such a control over his Attorney ieneral as to malke it possible to press some suits and abandon others, Opin- ions on ambiguous questions have us- ually been rendeed in the direction ed by the Chief Executive. Influence On Inquiries. Congess has not felt that it could rely on the inquiries conducted by the Department of Justice because if a Republican _administration were 1n power Republican politics would in- fluence aggressive or_indifferent inquiry se might be. Similar- -, when the Democrats have had con- trol of the Department of Justice, & Republican Congress has not felt that exhaustive inquiries would be made subjects in which it was interested. sftuation has been an commis- sions directly responsible to Congress. While it is true that the Chief Execu- tive by use of the power of appoint- ment can control the various inde- pendent commi: ons, it is also true that Congress may refuse to confirm individuals who have entered into any understanding with the Chief Execu- tive relative to any policy to be pur- sued. Although there have been frequent delays due to dissension of members of the commissions, this is a compara- tively recent occurrence and was not characteristic of the operations of the boards and commissions when they were first created. The real difficulty is that the positions do not pay big enough salarles to attract men of capacity and judgment and that the personnel has been largely given over to office-seeking politicians. Hard to Get Able Men. Practically every President has had difficulty getting able men who have distinguished themselves in business or- the professions to come to Wash- ington to fill the various commissions and boards. In the few cases where able men have come here their con- | structive work has been blocked by the necessity of co-operating with, men of lesser ability whose judgments are beclouded by political considera- tions. ¢ Mr. Wood's plans are based upon A belief that as between the present situation in the various commissions and the control by a single cabinet officer of the work pemng done by the independent commisison, there would be a_vast improvement in the latter method. Distinterested ob- servers are inclined to agree with Mr. Wood that there would be more ef- ficlency under the cabinet officer than is possible with the present per- sonnel. But the alternative, namely, better men to fill vacancies and more freedom of action, as contemplated by the original statutes creating the n, is vet to be demonstrated le to attain. is not in the mood to s power over shipping or corporate management or the tariff to the complete control of the Ex- ecutive, and, if anything, the discus sion is going to turn more toward independence of the Chief Executive than has been the case in recent years. (Covyright, 1926.) HITS FEDERAL BURE! Representative Wood Urges Curtail- ment of Work. Inauguration of a survey to reduce the number of independent establish- ments in the Government and placing of all the independent bureaus under the. control of members of the cabinet is advocated by Representative Wil- liam R. Wood, 2 member of the Hou appropriations committee and chair- man of the Republican congressional committee, in an article appearing in the current number of the Nation's Business magazine—the publication of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Representative Wood belleves if a sclentific survey could be made of the 34 independent bureaus, their working forces could be materially reduced. “They are constantly duplicating work,” he writes, “and they are mutually jealous. With such a sur- vey of one or all of these establish- ments, just as a great business con- cern would do it to get rid of the dead wood, we could reduce the num- ber of employes still further by hun- if not thousand Device Worked by Burglars Will Set It in Motion on Entering Building at Night. By the Associated Press. ROCHESTER. N. Y., August 30.— A new camera film developed for use by the air service and which has the | power to penetrate the land haze which has made it difficult to obtain detail in aerial photographs, may be used also in a newly developed camera designed to photograph burglars and hold-up men, it was learned today. The camera, which is the invention of John E. Seebold of La Salle, I, may be concealed anywhere in a bank, post office or office” building for the purpose of photographing hold-up men by day or burglars operating at night. In the day time the camera may be worked by the pressure of one or more buttons conveniently located. At Pushing Button, or night it operates automatically when intruders come in contact with trig- gers attached to the door-knobs, safe dials, drawer pulls or other means of | reaching stored property or money. The camera, built into a steel case and hidden away in the wall. desk, fil- ing cabinets or other convenient place desired, emplovs a flashlight for night Once the intruders touch the led triggers the steel case opens to permit functioning of the lens, the flashlight is fired and the picture of the Intruder is recorded on a film. The camera then withdraws into its steel case and concealment out of sight and out of the way of destriic- tive tools. The device is being built by a Roch- ester firm. U.S, FORCES DELAY NICARAGUA ATTACK Landing of Marines and Sail- ors Reassures Bluefields, Which Feared Rebels. By the Associated Press. MANAGUA, Nicaragua. August 30.—With American marines nd sailors landed at Bluefields, the res dents are rejoicing, as an attack on the city by the revolutionary forces was momentarily expected. The Americans arrived at Bluefields Sat- urday morning on the cruiser Galves- ton, and came ashore in the after- noon. Bluefields immediately was de- clared a neutral zone, and both gov ernment and revotfutiona leaders were notified that all fighting must | be done outside the city. A further order was Issued that no arms could be carried in the city. Reports had been current that a large revolutio force was advanc- ing on Bluefields, but it is expected that the American action will dela the forward movement, at least te porarily. The United States last August with- drew the guard of marines stationed at Managua to protect the American legation, as_Nicaragua had been in constant political turmoll. The ma- rines stood guard over the lives and property of Americans in that coun- try for 13 years. ©On the withdrawal of the marines Emiliano Chamorro became President of Nicaragua, after having ousted the constitutional President, Solorzano, now a resident of California, by means of an armed coup, and then began a series of rebellious move- ments against Chamorro. Liberal _revolutionists selzed the town of Bluefields last May, but wef obliged to withdraw when an Ame can warship landed force: Both Bluefields and El Bluff were declared to be neutral zones, and the loss of these important centers doomed the rebellion for the time being. The marines withdrew after a month's sta; he Liberal insurgents recently re- newed their warfare against Chamor- ro, and the American Government or- dered two warships to proceed fto Bluefields and Corinto, respectivel; to protect American interests. 1 THIEVES GET DIAMONDS. $250 Ring and $150 Pin Taken in Reported Robberies.
