>o Chajigea in Cabinet
TARI:*-*. Feb. 18.?Paul Deschanel be?
came 1?1 o tenth President of the French
Republ e to-day, succeeding Raymond
Poincar?. The formal transfer of
power took place at the Elys?e Placo.
Premier Millerand offered President
Deschanel the resignation of the
Cabinet, as is customary upon the ac?
cession of a new President, but the
President asked the Premier to re?
main in office. For that reason the
Presidential change had no effect on
the Cabinet.
Although is was reported that M.
Poincar? might be named to succeed
Charle,--. C. A, Joitnart as president of
the French delegation on the Repara?
tions Commission, newspapers express
the opinion that Paul Dutasta, secre?
tan* of the peaco conference, would be
appointed.
Sweeping Amnesty Promised
The new President soon will an?
nounce a sweeping grant of amnesty.
Civil and mi tary prisoners will be
included, persons convicted of treason
being the only exceptions.
The ceremony attending the trans?
fer of power was favored by brilliant,
spring-like weather, and Paris whole
heartedly improved the occasion to pay
homage to both the incoming and out?
going executives, between whom to all
appearances the honors were impar?
tially divided.
With the arriva* of M. Deschanel at
the Elys?e the forma! transfer took
place. On the conclusion of the for?
mality President Pe-*chanel and M.
Poir.care with their escort, were driven
through the crowded streets to the Citj
Hall. ?????; ere they were received by th?.;
president ? E :'??*. Municipal Council, the
prefect oi the Department of the
Seine * '. the president of the Gen?
eral uncil. Greetings were extended
to the President and to the retiring
Executive, and a formal reception fol
lowed in which Paris society was lib
era!'.;* represented. The band played
severa! American airs.
Poincar? Praises Successor
There was a felicitous exchange be?
tween M. Deschanel and the retiring
President.-* M. Poincar?, greeting his.
succi 1 the Presidency could not
be ?.? ? - ?? d to a better man than he
wl held such a brilliant place in
the Parliament and who well knew how
to fill the role of an impartial umpire
and adviser. The new President, said
M. Poincar?, would be able to rely on
the cooperation of all Frenchmen, ar:d
he expressed confidence that the strik
personal merits of M. Deschanel
and hi?* ard< nt patriotism would inspire
the co;?ntry.
President Deschanel, in replying,
thanked the retiring President, remark?
ing that in order to fulfill his duty ho
would have only to follow the worthy
example of his predecessor, who had
rep*. ted 1 ranci with admirable pa?
trie.- . ring the tragic times of the
last few years. He added that, relying
upon the confidence f the two Houses
of Parliament, he would work with all
his heart for the rule of law and the
glory of the French Republic.

Judge Takes Part in One Ex?
change Over Statements
U. S. Investigators Ob?
tained From Defendants
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 18.?
| Open warfare between attorneys for
I the government and defense developed
j to-day in the Newberrv elections con
? spiracy trial, Judge Clarence W. Ses
! sions taking part in one exchange. The
j bitterness cropped out when Edward
Ridley, government investigator, who
took statements from many defendants,
was under cross-examination by Mar?
tin W. Littleton, of the defense coun?
sel, on five statements which had been
introduced and read.
The statements were made by Gujf L.
! Ingalls, City Treasurer of Detroit; Dr.
| W. H. Smith jr., a dentist and head of
| the State Free Employment Bureau at
i Muskegon; E. Bruce Laing, an attorney
: from Dowagiac ?rid chairman of 'the
t Cuss County Republican Committee;
George Carrigan, another county chair?
man and former Sheriff at La Peer, and
j John Waglejjf, a retired lake captain
i and farmer from Cross Village.
Wagley said he received $10 from
Will Darling, a defendant. He ex?
plained that this was given him at the
! close of the polls ir\_ Cross village af
: ter he had ''fulfilled his duty as an
: election inspector" by aiding Indians
; to mark their ballots.
All the statements were in affidavit
form and Clarence Rasey, a juror,
r.: ke? the court if they were to be re?
garded as sworn testimony. Ridley
replied that none of the men had been
, sworn.
At the close of the day I. N. Frei
! berg, a Detroit attorney, testified that
: in 1918 he had been, interested in the
film exchange which distributed the
I "ono reel feature 'Our Navy' to some
theaters in Michigan." He said he hac
collected $1,000 of the bill from the
Newberry committee, which amount he
had "for personal reasons" depositee
! to his own credit.
On cross-examination Mr. Littletoi
i asked if the exchange had distributee
other films gratuitously and simul
' tanously with Juge Eichhorn's objec
tion, the witness answered:
"Yes, sir; the Ford Weekly."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.?Henry Fon

Legion Bares Condition?
At Fox Hills Hospital
Surgeon General's Office Ad?
mits Unsanitary Methods ;
Promises to Correct Them
Charges that unsanitary conditions
have obtained in the Fox Hills General
Hospital of the United States Army are
contained in a report made public yes?
terday by East Orango Post, No. 60,
American Legion, together with the
surgeon general's indorsement of the
post committee's findings.
The report says the kitchen floors
were not properly scrubbed; the
knives, forks and spoons were greasy;
the walls were dirty; cups, plates and
trays dirty and chipped. The food, it
is charged, though good, was often
spoiled in the cooking.
The report called forth an inspection
by the office of the surgeon general
and the post has received a reply from
Washington saying the findings of its
committee were correct and that poor
sanitary conditions were due to a re?
cent change in the hospital personnel.
| They are to be corrected at once.
Income Tax Collectors
Spring 'Trap' on Aliens
Witnesses at Ellis Island Give
Testimony in Befriending New
Arrivals That Proves Costly
When aliens make an effort to enter
the United States they have on many
occasions the assistance of persons
who aro airead*/ residents of this coun?
try. These friends testify before the
immigration officials at Ellis Island as
to their ability to care for the incom?
ing foreigners. Usually they" disclose
the fact that they are well off finan?
cially.
Realizing that many foreign-born
persons in the country neglect to pay
their income tax, the United States in?
ternal revenue collectors have estab?
lished a bureau at Ellis Island. The
experiment already has begun to work
Moro than $500 in cash was collected
yesterday.
The agents of the Internal Revenue
Department are permitted to sit in the
trial rooms of the special courts of in?
quiry, where they can hear the testi?
mony by the friends of immigrants
Naturally, the income is boosted a?
high as possible. Then the interna
revenue agents accost the wltnesso
and make inquiries as to whether thi
income tax has been paid.
