COOLIDGE MAD; NAMES WARREN AGAIN

Kior CONDUCTOR IS ORDERED C, f I. & W, Railroad Man to Face Charges of Violating City Code When Long Train Blocks Ambulance at Miley Ave, Crossing, SECOND CASE WITHIN WEEK, POLICE ALLEGE Jrainmaster Says Crew Did All That Was Possible, but Was Held Up by Signals and Safety Precautions Prevented Backing, Charges of violating section 973 of the Municipal Code, will be placed against Frank Van Scoyoc, 32 N. Webster St., conductor on the C. I. & W. Railroad when he reports at city prison late today.

The officer told the conductor to report v. hen he returned today.

Ambulance Held [ Cox said he saw a train blocking *W. Washington Bt. when 1)8 was en route to the hospital, and turned north on Miiey Ave. There he encountered a part of the same train. Cox called police. Patrolman Alkire arrested Van Scoyoc. Cox, reported to “police March 5, that he was held up several minutes at the Belt railroad and Washington St., when he was taking a patient seriously 111 to the hospital. Belt railroad officials at that time conducted an Investigation, police say, and stated that a faulty air line stopped the train. Trainmaster Explains. H. P. Reynolds, trainmaster for the C. I. & W. railroad, said todaythat he had investigated the delay and had found that the train’ was blocked on two different occasions. "When trains are ready to leave, our men call the operator to get switches onto the Belt set and to find if the way is clear, because of the sharp curve that is encountered almost Immediately after starting,” Reynolds said. "The train in question had passed Washington St., and was blocking market St. and Mlley Ave., when a block signal ordered the train to stop for a train on the St. L/Ouis division of the Big Pour. Tt had gone only a short distance on the secowd start when another blcftek signal ordered a stop for the St. Louis division of the Pennsylvania aroad. An engineer will never back Ihls train for safety reasons unless r the way is clear. Due to the curve signaling was difficult. For this reason I believe the crew did a.ll they could to get the train broken at the crossings as soon as possible,*' Reynolds said. X * Sentenced for Auto Theft JBv United Pr\ * SEYMOUR, Ind..

Nominee Wants Senate Records to Show Defense of Position Lacking Before Final Vote Taken Tuesday. PRESIDENT HOPES TO FIND NEEDED FAVORABLE VOTES Democratic Leader Says Opposition Will Stay in Line to Turn Down Executive’s Choice a Second Time —Situation Is Dramatic. Bv United Press WASHINGTON, March 12.—President Coolidge, smarting under his chastisement by the United States Senate in its refusal Tuesday to confirm his nomination of Charles Beecher Warren as Attorney General, today resubmitted to the Senate his nomination of Warren. Angered at the treatment accorded his nomination, the President has decided to confront the Senate again in the hope that the nomination may ultimately be confirmed. He is basing his hope on the slender margin of one or two votes that might be swung at the last moment. W arren, it is understood, is equally incensed at the Senate’s action, chiefly because administration Republicans failed to rally to his defense when his connections with the America .1 Sugar Refining Company and the “sugar trust’’ were aired.

As Attorney-General Warren would have to prosecute these very persons for whom Senator Walsh said Warren once acted as “business agent.” Warren wanted his name resubmitted In order to spread on the Senate records the defense of his position which was so sadly lacking Tuesday, it Is said. Coldly, quietly angry because of his unprecedented rebuff, the President refused to accept the Senate’s rejection of Warren’s name as final. IBs tenacity has precipitated the most tense and dramatic situation Washington has enjoyed In many years. What reason he has to believe the Senate will.change its attitude—or even that the necessary

Norris was followed by Senator Nelley, West Virginia, Democrat, who read an editorial chiding Dawes for his absence at the critical moment when the vote was taken on the Warren nomination thereby causing defeat to the Republicans. In opening his speech on the Isle of Pines treaty. Senator Copeland, New York, Democrat, said: “I always understood It was the duty of the Vice President to be at the chair at all times. But a lot of unfortunate things have happened on the floor of the Senate as well as In the chair.”

On the- surface it looks as though Coolidge Is merely throwing Warren to the Hons again to furnish another feast. If so. Warren clearly is willing to be the sacrifice. Coolidge’s determination followed a conference with the candidate. When informed of the decision of the White House to resubmit the nomination of . Warren, Senator Walsh. Montana, leader of the opposition, declared such a precedure was “unprecedented.” - There will be no change In the line-up on the Democratic side when (Turn to Page 2)
