WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 12.
The appointment of James C. Mc-
Nary of El Paso, prominent Texas
republican leader, to be comptroller
of the currency, generally was ap-
proved here today. Tegas members
of congress, all but one of whom
are democrats, believe President
Harding made a wise choice.
The appointment of McNary
came as a complete surprise. It
had been expected that N. A. Shaw
of Texarkana might be given "the
dirt farmer” place on the federal
reserve board but this went to
Milo D. Campbell of Mihigan.
Succeeds Crissinger
McNary succeeds D. R. Crissin-
ger, who was made a member of
the federal reserve board and will
become its chairman, succeeding
W. P. C. Harding.
McNary has long been prominent
in business, social and civic circles
in El Paso, where he is president
of the First national bank. He is a
close personal friend of President
Harding and on his frequent trips
here is always a guest at the white
house. He is also a close personal
friend of R. B. Creager, republican
national committeeman from Texas.
The appointment of Crissinger to
the federal reserve board and Mc-
Nary as comptroller of the cur-
rency is known to be the develop-
ment that R. B. Creager, Texas re-
publican leader, and F. C. Scobey of
San Antonio, director of the mint,
were depending on to break the
deadlock now existing in the fed-
eral resrve board and bringing
about the appointment of W. W.
Collier of San Antonio to succeed
Judge William F. Ramsey as head
of the Dallas reserve bank.
’ »Deadlock Still On
The eadlock, however, Is not ex-
pected to be broken for three weeks
or until Director Mitchell, chair-
man of the subcommittee consider-
ing the Dallas appointment, re- <
turns from Florida, where he is <
recuperating from an attack of in- 1
flueaza.
The other candidate for the place
is Lynn Talley also of San Anto-
nio. The number of indorsements

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. — The
Orient railroad won a big victory
and got at least a lease of life late
Friday afternoon when the inter-
state commerce commission form-
ally requested the other railroads
in the southwest to promulgate
tariffs making th® Orient a differ-
ential line.
Of the railroads represented at
th® hearing the Rock Island, Frisco.
Katy, and Missouri Pacific accepted
th® commission’s request in princi-
pal* but with an understanding
that central details would yet be
worked out. The Santa Fe made
no answer.
Mayfield Happy.
The railroads were given until
Thursday next to formally have
their acceptance filed with the
commissioner. Chairman Allison
Mayfield of the Texas railroad com-
mission and Receiver Kemper of
the Orient were in a happy mood
aa they emerged from the meeting.
Mayfield said that he believed
the roads would file their accept-
ance before Thursday. It was be-
lieved here that the making of the
Orient a differential road will en-
able it to obtain enough business
to keep gong and that eventually
some sort of a merger will be
worked out to care for it perma-
nently. The most logical merger.
It is pointed out by interested par-
ties, is with th® Southern Pacific.

IE CALLED TO AID.
They say that w J. B has been
asked by many pastors and teach-
era and laymen to come to Texas
to help pass a law against the
teaching of evolution of any kind
in the schools of Texas which are
supported by public taxntion. This
prinee of peace, orator of th* ever-
glades, known in ancient times as
the "Boy Orator of the Flattr.” who
won eternal fame when he declared
to the multitude that labor should
not be crucified with a crown of
thorns on a cross of gold, has
promised to comne to Texas and
personally deluge all of the in-
famous schools and preposterous
human atoms who accept or preach
or teach this damnable doctrine of
the origin of the species and to
imnpore the lawmakers, in the name
of Jehovah and the departed Sam
Houston, to make the punishment
fit the crime.
