Word in Brief
No Decisions of Supreme
Court Have Been Cited
By Opposition
WASHINGTON, March 12. "An
alarming incrense in the criminality
of the young," was attributed today
in a brief field in the supreme court
by the Episcopal church domestic and
foreign missionary society to the "ex
elusion" of religious influences from
the public schools of the nation. .
The society appeared as 'a friend
of the court in the suit brought by
private and parochial schools to test
the validity of tlto compulsory edu
cation laws of Oregon. Should they
be sustained, the brief asserted, there
was danger other states would adopt
similar legislation. '

WASHINGTON, March 12. Uto
Fresldent Caolldge threw down the
gauntlet to his opponents In the sen
ate today by again submitting the
nomination of Charles B. Warren to
be attorney generaL
president sent the nomination back
just In time to have it waiting on the
senate doorstep when the day's ses
sion began at noon. The decision of
the chief executive astonished most
of the senators. Including the rank
ing republican leaders who had advis
ed the White House that if It return
ed the name of Mr. Warren would
tare no better thau it did when the
senate rejected it on Tuesday by a '
tie Tote. ,
Without Precedent.
Borne old timers In the senate
could recall no precedent for tho re
turn of a cabinet nomination that al-.
rcauy nsQ lanea lo comraanu a jun
Jorlty. Such a failure Itself has not
occurred since the days ot Andrew
Jnckeon and nil told there have been
but five previous occasions on which
the senate withheld its approval of
any man chosen by the president to
sit in his official family.
It was Senator Butler of Massa
chusetts, the president's close friend,
elevated by him to chairmanship of
the republican national committee
and but recently appointed to the seat
formerly held by Henry Cabot Lodge,
who told Mr. Cooltdge that the sen
ate leaders hsd given np toe easily.
At a breakfsst conference with the
executive and Mr. Wsrren himself,
Senator Bntler Insisted thst the Totes
for confinnstlon eonld be obtained,
sod should be obtained. '
Up to Mr. Warren
Mr. Coolidge and the nominee lis
tened attentively to this new preaen
tstlon of the esse. Then the presi
dent turned to Mr. Warren and left it
to him to decide whether the issue
should be fought out to a finish or
considered closed. Mr. Wsrren decid
ed In favor of a fight.
No sooner had news of the deefs
ion reached the capitol than the ene
mies of the Warren appointment be
gan preparationa to re-open a battle
they thought .they already had won.
Senators Walsh ot Montana and Reed
of Missouri declared they would make
a resistance even more otubborn than
that which mustered 40 votes on
Tuesday's roll call to offset and nul
lify the 40 commanded by the admin
istration leaders.
For their part most ot the repub
lican organization leaders declined to
comment. They aaid they would again
go through the motions of referring
the nomination to committee and
then bringing it to the senate flour.
The outcome, they suid, could only
be determined by the roll call itself.
1'ublicly, Mr. Wnrrcn would muki
no comment.
