Washington, March is. me taiiure
of the Senate Foreign Relation! Com
mittee to-day to report the nomination
of Bainbrldge Colby for Secretary of
ito mtani that after Monday Frank
1j. Polk will not be eligible to sen as
Actlnr Secretary of Bute and the post
will be vacant. It can be held In thlfl
manner only thirty days.
The faet, however, that Mr. foik win
return to his position of Under Secre
tary of State will not. It Is believed, de
prive the department of a head or the
Government of a functioning Foreign
Minuter. H was explained to-day that
the President has ample power under
the Overman act to transfer the duties
of Secretary ot State, although not the
title, to any other officer of the Govern
ment, and so Ions as that act Is In force
he may continue the executive of these
functions' In this waj.
The Overman act was one of the tre
mendous leposftorles of power placed at
the diposal of the President because of
the war exigency. It provided that the
President could shift and transfer any
duties and functions 'of any Government
cfTice to any other ofllce, board, commis
sion, &c. It was Intended to enable him
to secure the more prompt and efficient
performance of public business. There
was bitter opposition to It while It was
before CongTesi, but it finally passed by
very clone vote in the Senate.
Under this measure In case of a
vacancy In the Secretaryship of Stat '
tne president could transfer tiie duties
xnd powers of that office to anybody else
In the executive service that he chose ;
