SIX SCANDALS IN SIX MONTHS COMPRISE RATIO Public Disgraces of Administration Subject of Comment. HARVEY SPEECH LEADS By RICHARD LINTHICUM. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Six scandal* in six months of the Harding Administration haTe developed to full proportions, with enough more In embryo to maintain this ratio for the year. Specifically and briefly they are: 1. The Harvey Scandal—Permitting George Harvey, ambassador to Great Britain to retain his post, without reprimand or rebuke, following his public speech at the Pilgrims’ Society dinner, London, May 19, insulting the living and the dead of America in the World War. Jhis speech was condemned by practically all classes of citizens, by nearly every church conference since held and by those who had the best right to condemn it because their feelings and sensibilities were most strongly outraged—members of the American Legion Posts, and organizations of War MothersPresident Harding and Secretary of State Hughes, it should be said in all fairness, have since uttered sentiments to the contrary, but the fact remains that Ambassador Harvey has not been officially reprimanded and the general demand for his recall has been ignored. NEWBERRY FACTS MATTER OF RECORD. 2. The Newberry Scandal—The whitewashing of Senator Truman H. Newberry of Michigan by a unanimous Vote of the Republican members of the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections. The facts In the Newberry scandal are n matter of court and legislative record. It is admitted that a slush fund of nearly $200,000 was raised and spent in Newberry's behalf In the Senatorial Primary election of 1918; that the financial records of the campaign were destroyed or mysteriously disappeared. Evidence to show Senator Newberry had knowledge of the financial campaign in his behalf was sufficient to bring about his conviction In a Federal Court, but the conviction was nullified by a 5 to 4 decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on the ground that the Federal Corrupt Practices Act did not apply to primary elections, bnt the decision did not touch the merits of the case. Despite all of the evidence in the trial and at a subsequent Senate Committee Inquiry, the entire Republican membership of the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections voted unanimously to “exonerate” Senator Newberry and recommended that he retain his seat; Dillingham, Spencer, Wadsworth, Watson (Ind.). Edge, Ernst, Shortridge and Bursum. all members of the Old Guard. Senator Kenyon, a Progressive, was removed from this committee when the present Senate was organized. The Democratic members of the committee voted to declare the seat vacant. The Newberry case will be finally determined by the Senate as a whole.

LEGAL ADVISERS HOLD ENORMOUS CLAIMS. 3. The Lasker Shipping Board Scandal —The projected salp of 205 wooden ships, costing $300,000 to SBOO,OOO each, for $2,100 each, with but a gle bidder. (This bid following wide adverse publicity, has Just been rejected.) Also the employment of members of the legal staff of the board at salaries as high as $23,000. some of them recommended by firms holding claims agaiqst the shipping board. The employment of these attorneys at such salaries, while the staff of the attorney general Is available and while the admln'stration is making a pretense of economy, has been severely criticised both by Democratic and Republican Senators, but the most scandalous phase of this matter is in the revelations that prominent law firms of New York which had been asked by Chairman Lasker and Chief Counsel Sehleslnger to recommend appointees in the logal department of the ■hipping board held claims against the board as high as fifteen, sixteen and seventeen million dollars. 4. The Thoresen Scandal—The removal from office by presidential order of Surveyor General I. C. Thoresen of Utah whose term had not expired and against whom no charges were made, for the avowed sole reason of giving the office to a Republican. President Harding’s first letter to Surveyor General Thoresen, suggesting his resignation, said : “I need not tell you of the current demand for the recognition of aspirants in our own party for considerHtion in the matter of patronage.” Mr. Thoresen's reply that be was the first and only person requested to resign without being jArcused of neglect of duty was followed by the letter of removal and the appointment of one E. D. Sorensen, thus serving notice that the Administration has instituted the spoil system, and will enforce It with the “strong arm” when necessary. FEDERAL PATRONAGE TRAFFICKING CHARGE. 5. The Overall Scandal—The alleged receipt of money from applicants for office by John W. Overall, Republican national committeeman for Tennessee, acting as p Job dispensing “referee,” who is quoted In an interview in the press as saying his collections were turned over to the Republican national committee to apply on its campaign deficit. This scandal was aired on the floor of the Senate on Aug. 11 by Senator McKellar. who said: “I want to call the Senate's attention to one of the most remarkable disgraceful traffickings in Federal patronage that has come under my notice since I have been in public life.” He read into the Record a letter from a close friend of the national committeeman to an applicant for a postmastership. suggesting that he "klck-irf > '$10” to help pay Overall's expenses to Washington ; then a letter from one Shivers, the applicant, enclosing a check for $lO. asking for information in the matter of the appointment of a rural letter-carrier. Then a letter from National Committeeman Overall acknowledging receipt of the letter “with enclosure,” and stating that when the appointment of the rural carrier is referred to him he will appoint any one of the eltgibles that Shivers maj desire. It was also shown that Overall endorsed this check "John W. Overall, N. C.” (presumably national committeeman) and deposited it in bank. President Harding's change In the civil service rule” to make the highest three on the list eligible, Instead of the highest one, as under President Wilson, makes possible such trafficking In appointment. M’KELLAR'S EFFORTS MEET NO RESPONSE. Senator McKellar introduced the following resolution: “Resolved, that the Postoffice Committee of the Senate beand is hereby, authorized and instructed to investigate the alleged violations ot the civil service act and the alleged selling of Federal offices In Tennessee by John W. Overall, Republican national committeeman, and alleged referee in patronage matters 4n that State.” This very briefly 'ls the first cage against Overall. There are reports of others. Senator McKeliar’s efforts to have the Postoffice Committee act upon his resolution for an investigation so far have been futile. 6. The Appropriations Scandal —Concealing from the pedple the amount their Government is costing them by covering up appropriations through reappropriations, revolving fuuds and “authorizations,” which do not appear on the appropriations list, and “deliberately, but

more or less openly, attempting to deceive the people by a “Juggling Joker" in a deficiency bill whereby ml.itary appropriations made during this session are to be charged back to the preceding Congress and all other appropriations currently made are to be charged ahead to the next session of Congress after this, The method first referred to of concealing appropriations was exposed last May by Congressman Byrnes (Dem., S. C.), who showed that unexpended balances reappropriated amounted to $511,000,000; that Indefinite appropriations authorized In the guarantee section of the EsohCummins act had reached $541 731.873.27, and will cost an additional $200,(00.000. EVIDENCE OF “JUGGLING JOKER." The "Juggling Joker" was in the second deficiency bill, signed June 16, as follows: "The statement of appropriations, etc., for the third session of the Sixty-Sixth Congress shall include the army, naval and second deficiency appropriation acts passed during the first session of the Congress, and all other appropriations made at the latter session shaube compiled and published with the statement of appropriations for the second session of the 'Sixty-seventh Congress. 1 Secretary Mellon of the Treasury has been authorized to Increase the issue of certificates of lndebtedn-ss from $7,000.000,000 to $7,500,900,000, and on Sept. 13 offered for sale a second issue of Treasury certificates of indebtedness of $090,000,000—thus borrowing money to run the Government while the Administration was making a pretense of economy and boasting that it was saving money. Each and every onfe of these enumerated acts amounts to a public scandal, for which there is no parallel in numbers in any previous Republican administration, scandalous as some of them have been.

Haskett, president of the Greater Indianapolis Industrial Association, made his annual report to the stockholders of the association at their annual meeting at the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon. The president’s report Is made annually at the stockholders’ meeting, just prior to the election of officers. The greater Indianapolis Industrial Association was founded In 1910 to back the project of the industrial suburb of Mars Hill. In the past ■eleven years Mars Hill has brought new and successful industries to the city and has added to the fame of Indianapolis as industrial city. President Haskett’s report shows that the greatest need of Mars Hill la more houses. An enlarged building program for the past year has still produced a supply of houses inadequate to the demand. Anew industry has located In Mars Hill during the past year, the plant of the American Valve and Tank Company and the first unit of their building program has been completed, Mr. Haskett reported.
