SENATOR H IS ■ DOPED FOR POSTAL CHIEF

Washington Talks Transfer of Work to Interior Department Succeeding Fall. JOB IS FOR ‘LAME DUCKS’ Hungry Ones Wear Path to Harding Office Seeking Chance at Plum. By W. H. PORTERFIELD WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—How does this combination sound? Senator Harry New of Indiana for Postmaster General and Dr. Hubert Work, now on that Job, transferred to the Interior Department, March 4, when “Al” Fall gets out. That’s the dope in Washington today. Nobody seems to know exactly what there Is about this Interior job to attract all the “lame ducks” and other near-beer statesmen. It pays no more than the other Cabinet jobs, viz: $12,000 the year, a luxurious limousine, brand-new, and a handsome chauffeur thrown In, also a lot of dignity and chances to travel to every part of the country at Uncle Sam's expense, a lot of patronage, and several thousand columns of publicity, friendly and otherwise. May Seek Job But somehow, since ‘'Al” Fall announced that he was through, a perfect stream of hungry ones and their friends have worn a path to Mr. Harding's front door. First, of course, the President thought he’d head off all seekers by offering the job to Herbert Hoover, but Herb declined the honor and now it's anybody’s fight apparently—excepting that everybody admits a western man must be chosen or the Administration is in bad again. Well, first and uppermost, there was that conspicuous “lame duck,” Frank Mondell of Wyoming, twenty-four years in Congress, who ran for Senator last fall and got licked. Mondell is unpopular with the press, with his fellow Congressmen, with his senatorial colleagues. Warren and Kendrick, with the conservationists and pretty nearly everybody else. At this writing his chances look bad. Poindexter in Line Then, there’s another “lame duck,” Senator Poindexter of Washington. He has been indorsed by his colleague. Wesley .Tones, and quite a hunch of northwestern Congressmen, and his candidacy looks fully as promising as Mondell’s. Dr. Work fills the bill of being a western man. He’s from Colorado. He’s said to be a pretty capable chap. Asa platform orator he’s pretty bad. Last fall he declared that the exkaiser and Woodrow Wilson had much in common. That didn't please anybody, but, then, you'll remember that Woodrow Wilson once wrote that he hoped ‘‘Bryan would be knocked into a cocked hat.' ’and folk got over 'hat. Work isn't so bail, and it is said he'd like the job of looking after parks, Indians, pensions, reclamation, irrigation and part of Alaska ‘Jazz Queen ’ to Visit Keith’s “An Englishman can't write jazz. He can't sing .iazz or dance azz. But, oh boy, how he does love it’” So says Sophie Tucker, who will be seen at B. F. Keith's week of Jan. 15, and frequently heralded as the queen of jazz, who has just returned from six months in Europe, during which she did more than any other artist to effect formal introduction between American syncopation and British society. Miss Tucker attributes iier really phenomenal London success, as a costar with George Robey in “Round in 50.” to the care with which she prepared her work for anew publie. Instead of rushing straight from the Palace to the London Hippodrome, Miss Tucker took three weeks after she landed to arranging her material. She visited the London theaters every night of those weeks. She discovered that the English have small use for Americanisms that they do not understand, and that they prefer their acts served at just about half the Broadway tempo.

UNWRITTEN LI IS SLAYER'S PLEA

Army Officer Declares His Victim Tried to Wreck Home. By United Press WICHITA FALLS, Texas, Jan. 13. —Maj. W. L. Culberson, formerly of General Pershing’s staff, called the old plea, “the unwritten law” to his defense today following an indictment charging him with the murder of M. L. Lamar. Culberson, as he fired the fatal shots, screamed an accusation that Lamar had wrecked his home, witnesses said, and attorneys today prepared their case on this basis. The murder followed the arrest of Lamar, a phonograph salesman and Mrs. Culberson on a charge of vagrancy. The case was dismissed, however, when Lamar's employers explained he visited the Culberson home on business. Major Culberson returned from Oklahoma City shortly after the vagrancy charge was climmlsssed and the following morning, passing the phonograph shop, he fired two bullets at Lamar as he shouted, “You’ve ruined my home.”

'Way back in the nineties, when insanity was a problem no less acute than today, and certainly a greater distance from solution, there lurked in the mind of Dr. George H. Edenharter an idea comparatively new. That mental defectiveness was a process of the mind in its advance to the abnormal stage that could be arrested at the earlier stages, was the contention of Dr. Edenharter, and herein arose some of the first agitation favoring the establish ment of mental clinics. For a period of almost thirty years, Dr. Edenharter has been su-

NSURINGE RAIL DEGREASE ASKED

Safety Board Sends Letter to Fire Underwriters. A letter asking lower fire insurance rates for Indianapolis was sent E. M.

Members of the board asked that a conference between Sellers and representatives of the National Board of Undrwriterß be arranged to go over the situation.

Sure Test

When Virgil Dunn, a farmer living near Garden City, planted cantaloupe seeds in the sring of 1921, he expected to reap what, he had sown, he told a jury in Superior Court, Room 3. In spite of all his efforts, however, the vines had other notions, the result being only S2OO worth of some kind of melon, he said. Then he decided to sue for $5,000 damages from the Warren Seed Company, ,'hich sold him the seeds. Dunn’s hired man testified that he had never tasted better melons. Tip Top or no Tip Top flavor, “No damages,” said the jury. “If the hired man like them they were good enough to sell to anybody," said one of the jurors, a farmer.
