FORDNEY CHALLENGED TO PROVE PROFITEERING CHARGE

ISTAFF CORRESPONDENT 1. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON. March Wi.ltain
Globs McAdoo, eon-ln-law of WoodSow WHson, and runner-up to Jamc M. Cox in tlio San Francisco contention, may bo moving to California becauio he loves the climate, tout 'he will havo a hard time convincing the political railblrda of Washington to that effect. Almost without exception the political v,-isaacres of tha capital character!:: liii udlen chango of incidence from Coast to Coast as iSth first political robin of 1924, and a fair warning to James M. Cox, "William Jsnnings Bryan. John AV.
Davla. Atlee Pomerene, et al, that
ux hat of W. G. is in the ring-. There is reason to belive, too, that Mr. "Wilson has not been unaware of his son-in-law's stragetic move, which is nicely timed so as to lve him two years' residence on the Pacific Coast before the primaries and nominating- convention of 1924 roll around. It Is even chatted about In the cloakrooms and lobbies of the Capitol that Mr. Wilson is not wholly without responsibility in the matter. WHAT'S BEHIND" WOVE Behind Mr. MoAdoo's move lies considerable political tale. Throughout the uncertain reconvention campaign of 1920, and even in the tense days at San Francisco Mr. Wilson sat quietly In the White House, never indicating ' by word or deed whether he was a candidate to succeed himself. Nor did fce have anything to do with the frantic efforts which were being made In some quarters in behalf of his son-in-law. It is said he didn't want to see McAdoo the nominee. Mr. McAdoo'a friends at that time were Just as well satisfied to have It so. It was a question In the Summer of 1920 whether the open and active support of Mr. Wilsen would have been an asset or a liability. In fact, according to the close friends of the former Treasury head, Mr. McAdoo himself was not wildly enthusiastic about the 1920 nomination. He would have run it -drafted" at San Francisco, feeling that it was more or lea a family duty, (but he was not tearing up heaven and earth to get the Job. The shadows of a 7,000,000 Republican majority were even then beginning to fall athwart the white house, and Mr. McAdoo realised that a smashing defeat Is not exactly a good political asset Xor the future. DUMIT RELISH -CROWS JMU.NCE. There -were other reasons, according to those close to him, for his lack of enthusiasm for the 1?20 nomination, la the first place, he didn't relish being called "the RHEUMATISM CAUSED HEART TROUBLE tomacJi and Bowel Trouble Caused Rheumatism
Crown Prince," as he surely would have been by anti-Wilson Democrats as well, as Republicans. Also, there was the very important reasons of his personal fortunes. Mr. McAdoo at the time was only lately retired from the cabinet and was busily engaged in building himself up a law practice to repair the ravages to his personal finances caused by some years in the public service. But now, according to his friends, the situation is entirely different. Ey 1921 it is figured that "Wllsonlsm." the chief cry of 1920, will have been forgotten. At least Mr. Wilson will by that time have been so long out of the white house and Mr. McAdoo so far removed from governmental affairs and contact with his fatehr-in-law that his enemies can no longer apply the term 'Crown Prince" to his presidential aspirations. Also, it is understood in Washington that Mr. McAdoo's personal fortunes are now such, thanks to lucrative law practice, that he can indulge his political tastes to any extent he pleases. SEEN AS POLITICAL STRATEGY. The move to California is looked upon as a piece of first-rate political strategy. Mr. McAdoo will not lose his strong eastern connections by his move, and it is figured he will gain some extremely valuable western ones. Too much strength with some eastern Democrats does not eit well with certain elements of the west and south, anyway. The expectatldn that the west is going to play a more prominent part In political affairs than, heretofore also enters into the calculations which the McAdooites are making. They believe that the agelong dominance of national politics by the big industrial financial east is about over and that the west is going to make a strong bid for the white house within the next decade. California is an ideal location from every respect, but principally climatically and politically. While normally Republican it has been known to stray into the Democratic column, notably on one historic occasion in 1916, resulting in a second term for Woodrow Wilson. Also, it is not .overlooked that the' removal of Mr. McAdoo to the far west gies the west a strong national Democratic figure for the first time in recent years. The Democrats appear to be making a strateglo distribution of their forces, perhaps for capaign purposes. McAdoo Is in the west. Bryan has lately removed to the south. Cox is"ln the saddle In the Ohio belt, and in the east there are always plenty of leaders too many sometimes.

Congressman Fordney exhibited a Japanese cup and saucer dur tnp his recent speech in Peoria. "This cup and saucer he declared, were bought in Japan for 48 sen a dozen (24 cents). The duty was 45 per cent. When I bought the cup and saucer at retail In Philadelphia. I had no pay $4 a dozen." Mr. Rcth went upon the platform after the address and examined the cup and saucer. He found them "Japanese china or porcelain in a well-known under-elazed pheasant decoration, the value of which is known to every importer." "I remarked to you," says Mr. Jtota In an open letter to Cocgress-
oflrnan fordney, "that I thought you
were in error as to the rate of duty
applying to Japanese chinaware and yon were also wrong; as to the Japanese market value. "Yon then repeated your statement and said you knew you were correct. An arjrnment ensued. You were irritated. You finally said, 'What is the difference?' and closed the incident with the remark that you knew the cost of the ware and had the papers to prove it. "I therefore charjre, Mr. Fordney, that voa are not correctly informed. The rate of duly applying to this commodity under the present tariff schedule, with which you should be familiar, is 20 per cent hipher than the rate vou named and the Japanese value of the articles in question is 170 per cent higher than the value you placed upon them."

NEW YORK, April 5. Capitalists
here are much interested in the new mining ventures, headed by Harry Payne Whitney, Bulkeley Wells and Charles M. Schwab, in the old Cornstock lode, which made "Nevada at one time the greatest gold producing state in the union. Generations ego more than. 1700,00.000 worth of gold and silver -was taken out of the ground there and such ifort-unes as the Mackey, Fair, Flood and Mills may truly said to have started there. Now New Yorkers are spending more than 17,000,000 in preparation for mining the millions of tons of low grade ores remaining in the Cofnstock. Virginia City, Dayton, Silver City and -other cajnps made f&imous by Erete Harte and Mark Twain, from being deserted villages have become thriving towns where it is almost Impossible to obtain bed and board. One of the most interesting developments Is that of the Carson river bed where government experts say close to $300,000,000 In gold and silver was lost through crude reduction methods of the seven mills working there. W. C. Ralston, for senator and assistant treasurer cf the U. S. in in San Francisco, is In charge of
this work and has associated with

The thirty years war has a rival; one which equals its record of length. In 18SS, Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Meeker were married. Six months later they began trying to get divorced. They are still trying. Mr. Meeker now lives in Plainfield, N. J., one of our imost popular suburbs, and Mrs. Meeker, in Riverdale, another attractive commuting stop out of New York. They never have quite achieved the decree, although efforts have been made al
most alternatively by both sides
either for divorce or legal separation. The palm sf partial victory has gone first to one and than the other 'but they still ire man and wife. Vice-chancellors have listened to the case, considered It and been removed from this world's strife before they got it settled. However, neither partner in matrimoney has given up yet.
Freda Inescort is the other. Until "The Truth About Blayds" opened she was secretary to the British consul, a post which sounds far removed from the stage. She plays the part of Septima Blayds Conway, the young daughter in the play.
There were 361,345 rent actions in this city last year. It certainly made work for the Judges when the legislature decided that landlords couldn't have absolutely free reign In charging people what they liked for a place to sleep and a place to eat.
The Rev. Mebane Ramsey, pastor of the Staten Island Presbyterian church, does not intend to let the frivolous side of the world get ahead of the serious. He sympathizes with the young people of his church who are staying away from service Sunday evenings in order to be entertained with radio concerts; so Instead of lecturing them on their failings, he has arranged to have sermon, sacred mimic, and ed
ucational lectures of a high order be broadcasted on Sundays. If the yoking men and women won't some to church to hear them, they shall hear them In their hecnes.
A divorce evidence factory is the latest money-making scheme to be unearthed in this ty of myriads of such devious devices of making a living. One Jack Berkowitx, an apparently honest truckman in working hours, has 'leen charged with carrying on a regular business of "framing" evidence for men and women seeking divorce and not been able to get the necessary evidence.

IN directing the affairs of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) the 7 men responsible for its management and success keep constantly before them the ideals of service which have animated the organization in development. They are ever mindful of the fact that the service rendered by this Company bears a close and intimate relation to the progress, success and prosperity of practically every other industry. And that it has a major bearing on many professional and highly specialized branches of business. They recognize the grave responsibility of supplying petroleum products to those who use the internal co mbustion engine as a source of power, and to those who depend upon this Company to lubricate their equipment in such manner as to conserve the. power and the machinery which it operates. These are the major and more obvious services rendered, but equal attention is given to problems affecting an individual or a small group. This service may take the form of expert advice as to the best method of lubricating a single machine, it may be something to reduce the labor of the housewife, or to assist the medical profession in serving humanity. It may be a new kind of pavement or a method to increase or conserve he food supply. 4, Thce re bat a few of the hundreds of ways in which Standard Oil service, positive and clearly defined, is helping and adding to the efficiency and economy of business generally. As an example of hov far this service is carried, wc may mention the recently developed burning oil. Neolite, which supplies a growing demand for an oil used primarily in incubators and brooders, where a steady, unvarying heat must be maintained over a considerable period of time. To those who use incubators and brooders, Neolite is of great vaiue. While it is probable that the sales of this product will never attain a large volume, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) adds it to its long list of useful products that it may further discharge its obligation in rendering a complete cycle of service to 25 million people of 11 Middle Western States.
