iHy the Associated Tress.) Chubs
Garland, the young man who has re
nounced his right to a. million dollar
legacy left him by his father. James
". A, Garland, who was a wealthy Hub
man and yachtsman of Boston today
made formal statement of hie rea-
sons for rejecting the money. Ills
statement, he said, was due to the
fact that thto many reports of his fail
ure to accept the legacy bad failed
properly to present his position.
"I refuse to accept the money ho
- ause it is not mine." Garland Bald
"A svstcm which starves thousands
while hundreds are stuffed condemns
Itself. A system which leaves a sick
woman helpless and offer Its serv
ice! to a healthy man. condemns It
self. It is such a system that offers
me a million dollars.
EU3ASQN i OR Rl JEOTION
It is blind to th. simplest truth
known to every child, the truth I hat
the hungry should be fed and the j
naked clothed. T have bad to choose
between the loss oi private propertj
Olid the law which is written In every
human hear; 1 choose the one v. blf b
J believe to be true."
Qarlandi who has stated thai he
renounced his claim lo the million
.lollars because he thought Christ j
would have done the same, continued: i
"I believe T could do no Rood with
the money. It is the man who gives j
rood to the hungry who does good,
not the dollars given in exchange fOr
ihe good. I would ie happy to be.
the man If I had the food to give. ,
but 1 cannot lend myself to handling i
the money that is not mine even j
though the good that might be done is
possibly great."
POSSIB1 ' ".l si i n
Many people have written- to ti
him what could be done with the
money, he said. They seem almost I
proud to point out the power thai 1
have in my hands iut it Is the most i
pitiful thing they could point to You j
'cannot serve God and Mammon.' So
many people ready to serve the dollar I
means so many less to serve God.
There are great opportunities to do
good but they are in men's heart,
'not In my cheek book preacher In
the name of Christ said that this mil
lion should have been turned to good.
He thinks that Cod's work !s paid In '
dollars. God's work will never he j
done until men see that this theory j i
untrue."
I lives without work
Mr. Garland's statement was made
from his home here, a former h:ti of
stage coach days. The young man
who la 22 years of age. is living at )
the house with his wife and Inf nf
daughtetr as the guest of his mother.
Mrs. Marie Tudor Green, who supplies
hem with a maid ao,'l keeps h h
larder full. He plana to go to work
eventually, he said, but a year at
Harvard college Which he left to g"t ;
married and preparatory schooling In
this country and In England fitted him
for no work ready at hand, and he
aid he thought It would he spring

Charles said today that he understood
Hamilton also was considering refusal
io take his share when he became of
age. Their ideas on the subject were
somewhat similar, he said, although
the influences of education and en
vironment were not identical.
Garland Indicated that his refusal
to take the money was not baaed On
any question attached to the origin
of the Garland fortune, saying he did
not know from what source it was
derived, but he believed It came down
from his grandfather.

congri seam w k m
Next to General Wood and General
Pershing, the man most frequently j
mentioned in connection with the warl
'lTsrtmcnt is 'onjeressman .lullusl
Kahn of California. The reason lies in
the fact that Congressman Kahn is
halrmnn of the house committee on
military affairs, and as such has a
jbody of information and experiences
which I not duplicated by probably
am other Republican On geojrraphl
Ical groundfl n In pointed out that th
j'acific coast ouuht to h0 recognized
iand that Mr. Knhn has proved his
popularity there. In the recent elec-i
tlon he had both the Republican and'
td I'-mocratle nominations.
Qn the same geographical grounds,
however, it Is pointed out, that Con-!
gressman Xolan, also of California, Is j
b.-lng urged for and discussed as a cab.
Inct possibility, comes from California
as well. The truth m. however, thut,
goographlcal grounds do not need to i
have much weiKht either for or against,
any man. When a president Is backed ,
by an overwhelming majority. In asi
many sections of the countiy ,-ls yena-,'
tor Harding has, be does not need to I
consider the gedyraphlcal distribution
of bis cabinet.
The mention of Senator George
(.'hamberlaln of Oregon rests chiefly
Ion the theory that Senator Harding
may ysh to appoint at least one
'Democrat In his cabinet. Mr. Cham
berlain is the present senior senator
iroin Oregon He yy.n defeated In the
recent election by a bare three or four
thousand Votea, although Harding car.
ried the strtte by an unprecedented ma
porlty. Senator Chamberlain had tens of
thousands of Republican voles, and his
popularity among the Republican vot
ers of 'regon Is not less than the
friendliness held for him by Republi
can leaders' In Washington If the
theory that Senutor Harding may wish
to appoint B Democrat has an exis
tence, in fact, there Is probably no
Democrat whose appointment would be
more appreciable to so many Republi
can leaders. The equipment of ex-,
porience Which suggests Senator'
Chamberlaip for the, particular office'
of pecretary of wur lies in the fact
that he was. for the many cars of
Democratic control In the senate.!
