WILSON’S FOES TO FIGHT COLBY CONFIRMATION Selection of Crane Again as Minister to China Also Will Produce Steam. BOTH CERTAIN TO WIN WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The quarrel between President Wilson and an antagonistic congress Is expected, to break ont in anew place as soon as the name of Balnbrldge Colby, the newly appointed secretary of state, comes up before the senate for confirmation. It xvas freely predicted at the capitol today that the senate not only may take its own time to confirm the appointee, but the president's political enemies would seize the opportunity to attack him from anew angle. The name of Charles R. Crane, recently announced as the new minister of China, is likewise before the senate and in congressional circles it is said his, confirmation will not go through any more smoothly than that of the new minister of foreign affairs. Senator Philander Knox, republican, of Pennsylvania, was secretary of state under Taft at the time of Crane’s first appointment as United States representative in the Orient and was instrumental in having the new minister recalled before he had reached his post. Now Id the senate he will be called upon, along with other republicans, to pass upon Crane, appointed by a democratic president to the same billet abroad. Comment among democrats is favorable, and that both Colby and Crane will ulltmately be confirmed Is nowhere .seriously disputed. Nevertheless, considerable bitterness is expressed In the camp of the president's political enemies, and It is believed here that before confirmation is finally voted there will be some lively popping off of steam. POLK EXPECTED to' RESIGN SOON. Resignation of Frank L. Polk, undersecretary of state, is expected as the next move in the practical reorganization ’of the state department resulting from Hanging's clash with the president. Polk called at the whitehouse this morning. Asked if he intended to resign immediately, he said: “My plans are just what they have always been. I will stay on and help all I can.’’ Colby will take up his new duties with many important offices to fill. He probably will soon be called on to name an under secretary in Polk's place. Breckenbridge Long, third assistant secretary, is democratic candidate for United States senator from Missouri and it is believed he will soon leave the state department to enter actively Into his campaign. William Phillips, assistant secretary, has just been named minister to the Netherlands. That the Colby regime will be marked by Important changes In this country's foreign policy, especially toward Russia, is thought likely. Lifting of the United States’ embargo against soviet Russia and the formulation of anew and more lenient attitude toward that country is believed to he one of the changes contemplated. NEW POLICY

ON RUSSIA. It was known that Lansing, when secretary of state, was opposed to having any dealings with the Russian soviet in any form whatever. Wheu the allies invited the United States to join in their decision to trade with the people of soviet Russia, by removing the American Lansing sent an inquiry to the asking how they expected to carry on the reciprocal trade without dealing with the soviets. He was determined not to join in the decision so long as its operation would mean that the United States would have to come in touch with the boieshvikl. Lansing’s vigorous stand against the bolsheviki ib understood to be shared and sympathized with by Polk and Long. On the other hand, it is thought President Wilson believes it expedient for the United States and the allies to declare peace with the soviets and allow Russia to resume her place in the trade of nations. Colby is understood to be in complete harmony with the liberal views of the president on this and other questions. COLBY CHAMPIONS WILSON’S POLICIES NEW YORK, Feb. 26,-Rainbrldge Colby, who lias just l*en appointed secretary of state by President Wilson, declared today that he would remain in New York until the appointment has been confirmed by the senate. Dlscus?ing public policies, he said he supported President Wilson on the league of nations and peace treaty. He added: “1 am in sympathy and accord with all of President Wilson’s works; but certainly that was made sufficiently evident by my selection.” Mr. Colby, in addressing thf National Retail Dry Goods association, said be got the impression in Washington that ”lbe peace treaty may be said to be almost dead.” “We have made a spectacle of ourselves by the way we have hesitated and stumbled,” he continued. “Thus we delayed the ratification of this enlightened treaty of peace. I have just spent three days at Washington and they were the most depressing days I ever spent there.” Dry Agent | Here for Conference M. Gaylord, assistant prohibition arrived in Indianapolis toto hold a conference with Charles WF Orbison, prohibition director of Indiana, and members of the internal revenue staff in regard to enforcement of provisions of the eighteenth amendment. Judge Orbison returned yesterday from Washington, where he was in conference with John I’. Kramer, national prohibition commissioner. Mr. Kramer expressed satisfaction with the manner of law enforcement carried on In Indiana, according to Judge Orbison. Farm Hands Form Wage War Unions WASHINGTON, Feb. 26—Farm hands, now receiving the highest wages in history, are organizing labof unions in many sections of the country, a survey of the situation showed today. Wages demanded are discouraging food /production, the agriculture department asserted in an official statement. Reduced food production is likely to result, the statement said. This means higher prices of necessities. Approximately 23,000 farm hands are now members of local unions, officials estimated at the American Federation of Labor.

Chief Kinney's orders to the police to enforce the law, issued yesterday, resulted in the arrest of a number of persons for violation of the vehicle Ucense laws, and other similar offenses.
