Treasury Controversy "i Looms Up Again With Peti- :! tion to President to Uphold ) Dover Against Blair G. 0. ; P. Patronage at Stake. i WASHINGTON', , June 16. The Blair-Dover controversy In the treas ury threatened to break out afresh today when It became known that a petition had been circulated among republican members of congress ask ing President Hurdlng to uphold the policies of .Mr. Dover, "ithe petition, it was learned, had re ceived the signatures of about 150 ' members, and plans were being made tp present It to the president within the next 48 hours. Mr. Dover is assistant secretary of I he treasury, appointed by l'resldeut 1 1 ;, l it in K to reorganize the personnel of the department, after the chief ex ecutive learned, according to the pe tition circulated today, "that he was not receiving the party support to which he was entitled" front that branch of the government. Mr. Blair, as commissioner of In ternal revenue, directing a bureau within the treasury department, is understood to have opposed some at tempts of Secrctury Dover to place new men in the bureau. Both are republicans. 130 Democrats 'Named. Circulated with today's petition was a document giving the names of almost 150 office holders in the de partment who were declared to be democrats occupying key positions. Many of these republican house members, circulating the petition, were disloyal to the administration and through their lack of coopera tion were obstructing the work of the government. " The list included officials in the of fice of Secretary of the Treasury Mel lon, the office of Commissioner Blair and the different units of the revenue bureau bb well as Under-Secretary Gilbert, who was described as an "ac tive democratic politician," who took "the stump for Governor Cox in the campaign of 1920." The charges were declared by Sec retary Mellon in a formal statement to be "so false and for the most part ho ridii ul'iiis" as ordinarily not to require notice. Mi'llon tiivcw Views Mr. Mellon branded the memorial to the president, "the product of a few selfishly ambitious employes and some discredited former employes." Mr. Mellon said the administration of the treasury was in tbe hands of republicans and was governed by re publican policies and that such demo crats had been retained from the Wilson administration wer kept be cause of their qualifications. He added that he had no evidence that the democrats retained had been guilty OC. partisan activity. Mr. Mellon's statement was made public after the regular meeting of the cabinet and after a conference of Mr. Mellon with Under Secretary Gil bert and Interna; Jteyenue Commis sioner Blair. ; The matter was brought up defi nitely in the senate today by Senator Caraway, democrat, - Arkansas, who said events promised the retirement of Secretary Mollon. "T,he president has surrendered," suld Senator Caraway. "Mr. Mellon may not be Informed yet, but Dover Is going to drlvo him out, together with every other efficient man that cannot show he has contributed to the republican campaign fund. Mr. Dover went into the treasury not be cause of his efficiency, but to spy out good jobs and have republicans in them." Senator Caraway said Mr. Dover had been trained "under Mark Han nil'" anil referring to the recent bu reau of enKravin dismlHsuls, declar ed the president had not satisfied the hungry job hunters by removing men and women from the bureau of en graving under a cloud." HIGH JINK8 TONIGHT (Continued from page one) for. a year or so. However, he said, that he was positive that water would be abundant despite the belief of a number of skeptics who are in fear of a lack of sufficient water. He stated that everyone who had closely inves tigated the system was of the same opinion. Engineer Chadwlck, of the Rogue River Valley Canal company, gave a short speech outlining the system and explaining the remarkable feature of bringing the water from the east to the west side of the Cascade range without a tunnel. He stated that he expected the connecting canal be tween Four Mile and Fish Lakes to be completed by next summer. This canal will insure the excess water necessary during the growing season. This feature of the system makes it superior to the usual system which seldom has a reserve Biipply because of the excessive cots of pro viding one. Prof. W. L. Powers of 6. A. C, gave a short talk on the benefits which should be realized from the system. lie slated that water was a revolu tionizing agent in arid sections of the country and that although the Rogue Hlver valley was not arid, that it would make a great and beneficial change here. The D. O. K. K. band played sev eral pleasing selections. Out of town visitors were heard to remark on the excellence of the band. T DESTROY! BELLINGHAM,. Wash., 1 June !l6.
