Officials Lay
Foundation for
Budget System
Six Hundred Persons Who
Guide Degtinies of Govern
ment Hear Explanation
By Director Dawes.
Washington, June 30. President
Harding, the cabinet and 600-odd of
ficials who guide government expen
ditures, met yesterday with Director
Dawes of the new budget system, to
lay what was hailed as the founda
tion for a new era of economy in
federal administration. The presi
dent opened the conference with the
declaration that "there is not a men
ace in the world today like growing
public indebtedness and mounting ex
penditures." He referred to the
gathering as a first and extraordinary
method adopted to meet an emer
gency. ,
The new director, Mr. Dawes,
promptly jumped off the platform
"to get mentally closer," he said, to
his audience and in the 4S-minute
talk which followed, alternately ca
joled, threatened and reassured his
auditors, addressed the president and
admonished the cabinet members
personally. In concluding, he order
ed the bureau chiefs to their feet and
holding up his hand, recited the fol
lowing pledge addressed to the pres
ident: "These men of whom I am one,
realize the perplexity of your posi
tion, realize that the business of the
country is prostrate, that its work
ing men are out of employment, that
we are faced with the inexorable
necessity of reducing expenditures
and we propose, just as we did four
years ago to win the war, to try
to do it. And that's all we can do."
Auditorium Jammed.
The little auditorium set aside for
the gathering was crammed to its
doors, sweltering in heat when the
secret service men forced through
to the stage President Harding's
party, with Vice President Coolidge,
General Pershing and the cabinet.
Major generals and rear admirals
with their stiffly uniformed aides, sat
packed in close ranks among civilians
and there was also a sprinkling oi
women. President Harding greeted
them all as "fellow workers," while
Director Dawes hailed them indis
criminately as "friends," "folks" and
"people."
His job was to be the "eyes and
f . 1 - . " 1. ,U. .
ears oi ine cxctunvc, nut uic lin
gers," he told them, "to get informa
tion from a washer woman or a
vice president,'' not to "run a detec
tive bureau, but make pictures for
the president and ; for congress."
"You have a right to the infor
mation," he said, turning to Pres
ident 'Harding, "just as the presi
dent of a business corooration has
the right and. 'needs to, use it, for
yours is the responsibility.
"I have the powers of the presi
dent to get tne facts," he exclaimed,
swinging back to his audience, "and
they will be exercised." ,
"Burn Night Lights." .
i he tirst mQture - ne naa xo mane,
with the assistance of the congres
sional ; reorganization commission,
would be of present appropriations,
he explained,, and he wanted budget
representatives on the job in each
department :"burning night lights
to "get it out in July." .
The front rank of his auditors was
kept dodging as he gyrated and
swung full-arm gestures.
"Let me submerge now that we've
got on this job," he said to' the news
paper men, "for you can't imagine
any man running a street railroad or
a manufactory with 30 or 40 of you
gentFemen running in to ask. ques
tions every day Wait till we get
out a budget and then remember
to give the credit to the bureau chiefs
here. If we ever get down where we
want to get, it will be these men
a ;t"
"We propose just the organization
which is the backbone of every busi
ness," he said. "Under the old sys
tem it's always been the practice of
a live bureau to hold up congress
for everything it had a chance to
spend. I know because I did it my
self when I was running a bureau be-
"Now they had to go the other
way and just for my reputation, I
have got to cut . that $225,000 appro
priated for the budget bureau just 25
per cent, if it takes my salary this
year." ' "
Musician Files Big Suit
Against Chicago College
Chicago, June 30. Before Percy
Lynn, a musician, went to France
during the world war, he supported
his wife and three children by play
ing a "violin. Due to hardship en
dured while serving as director of

Today he filed the praesicipe of a
$50,000 damage suit against the Chi

Court Reverses Order
Of Trade Commission
Cincinnati, June 30. That the
practice of oil companies in supply
ing tanks and measuring pumps to
retailers is at present not only con
ducive to competition but extremely
advantageous to the public, is stated
"by the United States circuit court
of appeals in an opinion handed
down by Judge Maurice II. Dona
hue, reversing the orders of the
federal trade commission at Wash
ington, directing the oil companies
to "cease and desist" such a practice.
The opinion was on the petitions
to review the trade commission's or
der filed several months ago in ap
pellate court by the Standard Oil
company of Ohio and several other
oil companies.
In their petitions, the oil com
panies contended that as they do
purely an interstate business so far
as gasoline distribution is concerned,
the federal trade commission has no
jurisdiction to make any such order.

Jefferis Fights
Proposed Gut in
Size of House
Inconsistencies of Contem
plated Reapportionment
Are Outlined by Oma
ha Congressman.
By E. C. SNYDER.
'hlnctoii Correspondent, Omaha. IWr.
Washington, June 30. (Special
Telegram.) Opposing the contem
plated reapportionment of the house
of representatives by raising the ra
tio Of citizens to each member of
congress and thereby reducing the
membership of the house to a figure
considerably less than at present.
Congressman Jefferis today told the
committee on the census that pro
posed reapportionment was both eco
nomically unsound and politically un
just." The Omaha representative urged
that the house retain the present ap
portionment until conditions were
more stable. Among other things
"Big Jeff" said:
"Nebraska and the central west
would lose six representatives if re
apportionment were passed at this
time. This would be a penalty on
patriotism. The census of 1920 was
taken during the time that thousands
of our middle-western boys were in
various army camps and in the
trenches abroad. We of Nebraska
had no great centralization camp,
and the sons who left our borders
were unjustly listed as citizens of
the state in which they were in camp.
Under such conditions can you fair
ly reduce Nebraska's representation
from six congressmen to five. There
is but one answer.'
"If our committee takes the op
posite view and favors reapportion
ment it is my candid opinion that
the house should be enlarged. Our
forefathers in their wisdom allowed
one representative in congress to
every 30,000 inhabitants, but they
never had in mind that the national
governments should assume so many
of the powers and duties of the states
as we are doing today. I am op
posed to further centralization of
government in Washington. I be
lieve we have gone too far in that
direction already. But if the present
tendency toward centralization con
tinues, and there is evidence that it
will, we should have more represen
tatives, thus keeping the people in
closer touch with affairs in Wash
ington. On the other hand, if we
permit the states to reassume their
normal and proper functions and
cease encroaching on their constitu
tional prerogatives, I believe the
present membership of the house of
representatives is sufficient."
Reorganization of "Dry"
Forces Effective July 1
Washington, June 30. Reorgan
ization of the federal enforcement
forces along lines previously an
nounced, will become effective July
1, Commissioner Haynes said today.
On that date the new state directors
will succeed the present district di
rectors and the flying column of
agents for interstate work directly
under the commissioner will take
the field.
The reorganization plans, Mr.
Haynes said, had been given remark
able endorsements" from all parts of
the country.
"The country is expecting a vigor
ous, sane and efficient law enforce
ment policy," he said. Much valu
able experience has been gained in
the first year of the operation of
the prohibition organization.

Constantinople, June 30. (By The
Associated Press.) Turks and bol-
sheviki are reported to contemplate
a vast uprising in this city, which
would be accompanied by' the de
struction of public buildings.
This morning allied troops
marched through the city and raided
hotels in search of bolsheviki. Brit
ish soldiers, with fixed bayonets, en
tered a building occupied by the bol
shevik organization and seized large
quantities of arms. Several alleged
leaders in the anticipated uprising
were arrested.
British troops also raided the of
fices of the bolshevist trade delega
tion and arrested an assistant of
Bronislau Koudish, soviet commer
cial delegate here, and other mem
bers of the bolshevik mission. It
was announced in British official cir
cles that the raid was carried out be
cause the presence of bolsheviki in
Constantinople menaced the security
of allied troops here. It was asserted
that the plot for an uprising had
been frustrated through the vigilance
of the police.
Greek forces have withdrawn from
Ismid, 65 miles southeast of this city,
and the Turkish nationalists are be
lieved to have a clear road to Con
stantinople. Reports are silent,
however, relative to any advance in
this direction.

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN HAVE SUR

On account of the terrible weak

symptoms, which are often produced
by iron starvation of the blood, the
sufferer frequently never suspects
the real cause of her trouble but
thinks she has some other ailment.
As a result of iron starvation you
may suffer from headaches, dizzi

palpitation, pains across the .back,
Joss of memory, weak will power, melan
choly or the "blues," disturbed digestion,
loss of appetite, sleepless nights, night
sweats and so on. In such cases do not
wait until you go all to pieces and col
lapse in a state of nervous prostration,
but eat more spinach and green vegetables
and take organic iron like Nuxated Iron
with them for a while and see what
difference it makes. But be sure the iron
you take is organic iron and mot metallic
iron which people usually take. Metallic
iron is iron just as it comes from the ac
tion of strong acids on small pieces of
iron, while organic iron like Nuxated Iron
is like the iron Jn your blood and like the
iron in spinach, lentils and apples. Beware
of substitutes. Look for the name "Nux
