HOMAS .BLANTON, a Democratic representative from Texas, does not seem to be exactly popular with either side of the house. Representative Garner," Democrat, of Texas, declared in the house the other day that if permitted by the rules to speak what was in the minds of 434 of the 435 house members he would say that Representative Blanton of that state "is a disgrace to this house and ought to be kicked out."

At the ouset of his speech Garner said that in this world there "are all kinds of liars, the artistic liar, the Inartistic liar and the common liar."

Representative Blanton, sitting a few feet away jumped to his feet and exclaimed: "And I will hold you personally responsible if you call, me a liar.'"

Garner did not notice the interruption, but Representative Summers, also of Texas, sitting nearby jumped, to his feet and shouted "liar" at Mr. Blanton, at the same time starting in his direction.

It was at this point that the ser-geant-at-arms rushed in and Blanton retired from the chamber. Then there came from the.Democratic side of the chamber a cry of "throw him or.t,"

having a value in the

legitimate market of more than $300,000,000 and worth in bootlegger channels more than $1,000,000,000, shipped from the United States to foreign countries just before the Volstead act went into effect on January 1G, 1920, will eventually find their way back to this country, under the provisions of the Willis-Campbell act passed by congress last November to supplement the national prohibition law, according to John D. Appleby, general prohibition agent in charge of New York and New Jersey.

The passage of the Willis-Campbell law, which ostensibly was principally tot the purpose of killing medicinal beer, has made it possible for the thirsty to be supplied with good liquors for a much longer period than appeared likely before the measure was adopted, prohibition officials here say. In some quarters the provision for the reimport of liquors is considered as a "joker" in the law.'*

The law stopped the importations of liquors, and also the manufacture of spirituous liquor in this country save alcohol "until the amount of such Knnnr uiw in distilleries or other

To Mix Efficiency With Civil Service

fected by the order, officials said, but about six hundred would be used as counters and all others having annual leave to their credit will be given the benefit of it.

Secretary Mellon in a formal statement said: "The statements to .the effect that a vast volume of duplicate bonds and other securities have been fraudulently issued an*?, are in circulation are wholly without foundation. There has been no evidence developed of any such situation either in the bureau of engraving and printing or ^lsew'here in the treasury department."

N. Part of the

bureau of engraving and printin which was reorganized under an execiM, tive order by President Harding, removing James L. Wilmeth, its director, and other high officials, was ordered closed later by Secretary Melion for an inventory of the stock, valued at many millions of dollars.

Following President ,' Harding's declaration that the administration is conducting no drive on the civil service but is. driving for greater government efficiency through the civil service, it was learned that some influential administration leaders plan to take many of the higher paid positions out of the ironclad jurisdiction of" civil service regulations.

All positions paying $3,000 or $4,000 or over, positions of an administrative nature, would be placed in one group. .Employees below the higher figures would be in the same position they occupy today.

I have in mind a creature who v^ould'go to the stationery room apd make inquiry about a whisky flask Tnd then ask the superintendent to get him one from Philadelphia that he might parade it in Texas as an evidence of what congressmen get."

The cause of the rumpus^ was several speeches by Blanton denouncing the stationery and mileage allowances, of members as graft.

Indianapolis, May 5.—Albert J. Beveridge was nominated as the Republican candidate for United States senator by a majority estimated at 20,000 over Senator Harry" S. New in the state primary held on Tuesday.

The vote for 31,137 precincts was: Beveridge, .179,936 New, 161,710. Seventy of the missing precincts were in Marion county (Indianapolis).

In the Democratic senatorial contest Samuel M. Ralston, former governor, was the winner over four opponents by a moderate landslide within ^the limits of his^party vote.

New Concedes Defeat.

Senator New conceded the nomination of former Senator Beveridge. "There is no doubt that Mr. Beveridge has been nominated for the senatorship," he said. "I do now, as I always have done, take off my hat to the winner." "I am grateful for the expression of confidence of our party and shall try to be worthy of it," Mr. Beveridge said in a statement. "I am especially happy that all elements of our party contributed to the result. Factions and feuds in our party are buried forever in Indiana."

New carried Indianapolis by only 3,500, while Beveridge carried the majority of the other towns which had been conceded to New, including the industrial towns of Lake county.

Eleventh District—Milton. Kraus of Peru. '. Thirteenth District—Andrew J. Hickey of Laporte.
