NEW YORK, October 4.—A move was made today to bring about dismissal of the special grand jury which indicted former Magistrate George F. Ewald, his | wife, & Tammany district leader. Counsel for the four sought a court order dismissing the jury and restrain- ing it from proceeding with a general inquiry into methods of judicial ap- | pointments. But he reached the Su- | preme Court too late to obtain the signature of Justice Townley to his ap- | plication and had to postpone his effort | until Monday. Bribe Charges Involved. The four persons were indicted on| charges involving alleged payment by | Ewald of $10,000 for his appointment to | he bench. Announcement of their counsel’s in- tentions appeared not to disturb Spe- clal Prosecutor Todd, who said even a court order would not interrupt the grand jury proceedings pending argu- ment on the application, unless its de- liberations were ordered discontinued until the issue was decided. I. Nicholas Gordon, Ewald's lawyer, contends the extraordinary grand jury was created expressly to investigate the charge that Ewald, through his wife, paid Martin J. Healy in consideratio) for his appointment as a magistrate. ‘When indictments of these were hand- ed down, he asserts, the jury had com- pleted its function and cannot now le- gally carry its investigations into other charges. Broader Powers Claimed. Mr. Todd pointed out the jury was empowered to inquire into “any and all unlawful acts relating to the ap- pointment of Ewald, and other matters which may come before the cour Gordon characterized the jury's in- vestigation since the Ewald indictments as a “scandalous political fishing expe- dition.” Mr. Todd declined to discuss his plans with regard to seven Tammany dis- trict leaders holding city office, Who yes- terday capitulated to Mayor Walker's order that they sign waivers of im- munity and testify before the grand jury. He has refused to accept “limited” walvers, under which the witnesses would submit to ~examination about their official acts &s city employes, but not about their political activities, | Lectures, Study Courses, Exhibits | on October Schedule.

BY WILLIAM HARD. Mr. Leland Harrison, the latest gradu- | ate (by resignation) from our profes- | sional diplomatic foreign service, is, at | this moment, doubly interesting. He is | interesting as a specimen of the griev-' ous losses which the foreign service has | recently suffered; and he is interesting | as an illustration of the ready recep- | tions_which our resigned foreign serv- ice officers acquire elsewhere. Mr. Harrison was one of the mos experienced and one of the most highly esteemed of our diplomats of career He began by k2ing private secretary to | our Ambassador to Tokio in 1807. He | became “secretary of legation of class | three,” “seeretary of legation of class | " “gecretary of legation of class | one,” at Peiping, at London, at Bogota. | He became “diplomatic secretary” of the American Peace Commission after the Great War at Parls. He became “‘counselor of embassy” at Paris. He became Assistant Secretary of State at Washington. He became Minister at | Stockholm, ~Sweden. The principle | arose that our professional diplomats | should be concentrated upon Latin America. Mr. Harrison was appointed to be Minister at Montevideo, Uruguay. The appointment was honorific,” but | for private reasons difficuit. The pri- | vate reasons were overborne. Mr. Har- rison proceeded to Montevideo. He i faced the difficulties that he had fore- seen and tried to live them through. They became insurmountable. He re- signed. The American foreign service lost one more or its very' best men. 70 or 75 Resignations. There have been some 70 or 75 resig- nations from the foreign service since the first of last year. Sometimes the reason has been discouragement over the discrepancy betwgen income and expected expenditure. Sometimes the reason has been discouragement over the chance of fromollcn to high posts in the midst of the rivalry from politi- cally powerful personages from outside the forelgn service. Sometimes the rea- son has been discouragement over ap- parent political indifference at home to professional endeavor abroad. Among the first-rate, top-rung men whom the foreign service has recently thus lost to other enterprises are these: DeWitt Poole, counselor of em- bassy at Berlin, to Princeton University. John Van A. MacMurray, Minister at Peiping, to Johns Hopkins University. H. F. A. Schoenfeld, Minister desig- nate at San Jose, Costa Rica, to the International General Electric Co. Btokeley Morgan, chief of division of Latin-American airs at Washington. to Lehman Brothers, New York bankers. Allen Dulles, chief of division of Near Eastern affairs at Washington, to Sullivan & Cromwell, New York law- yers. ¥ Brederic Dolbeare, counselor of lega- tion at Ottawa, to Schroeder & Co., London bankers. Evan Young, Minister at Santo Do- mingo, to & firm of bankers. | 'The resultant affuence of some of these gentlemen™ deprives them of all claim to present financial sympathy. | That affiuence is significant in just one | overpowering respect. It teaches, or should teach, our public that the tal- | ent among the “tea hounds” of our For- | eign Service is worth not mockery but money. Other Resignation Causes. 1 Some of our most capable professional | diplomats are affluent without res 8. | They resign for reasons wholly uni P cial, They ruifn out of discous ment wholly professional. Among them recently have been the following: Alexander Weddell, consul general at | Mexico City. | James C. Dunn, first secretary at Lon- | don. F. LaMoott Belin, first secretary at London. Thomas Daniels, first secretary at Rome. William Phillips, Minister at Ottawa. Each of these men has taken an ex- cellently trained intelligence, at its prime, back out of the public service into private use—or into private disuse. We are in our professional diplomacy enlisting good brains, drilling them, get- ting them ready for their ultimate util- ity to us and then losing them. The Prom grief, though, Mr. Leland Har- rison now takes us to gratulation. Re- signing from the service of his country in the area occupied by the State De- it in the area occupled by the Tariff Commission. This dexterous perform- ance has an interestingness much more than personal. It points on to a situa- tion publicly unique in the world. The tariff of every country creates resentments in every other country. This_international fact is acutely real« ized by Henry Prather Fletcher, the new chairman of our Tariff Commission and himself the most illustrious instance of recent resignation from the interna- tional activities of our State Depart- ment. In the Tariff Commission there is an_International Relations Division. Mr. Harrison, while Assistant Secretary of State in the State Department, dis- played a special passion and a special painstaking l?tltude for the study and mastery of foreign bond issues and German reparations and cable and radio communications and other inter- national economic problems. Opportunity for Service. Mr. Fletcher has now made Mr. Har- rison the new chief of the Tariff Com- mission’s International Relations Di- vision, and Mr. Harrison will proceed, for instance, to examine and to expedite the efforts of foreign countries to seek whatever readjustments may properly under the law be granted to them in our present tariff structure in the course of carrying into effect the mandates of the Congress.

The largest was a forest fire &t Greater Capitol Heights, which began | Friday morning, and by yesterday after= noon had covered approximately 100 acres, It was burning on hillsides and down in a valley lying between Crystal Spring avenue and Benning road.

No Houses Damaged. 3 No houses had caught fire from the forest blaze, although a number- lie within the wooded section and border on its edge. With the section lying right along the division line of Mary= land and the District, the fire extended into both.
