APRIL 7,1922. TREASURY TO BE MADE OVER VERY QUIETLY Elmer Dover Says Process Will Continue as Be fore. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, April 7.—Reorganiza tion of the Treasury—“Hardingizing the department In the interests of efficiency" j —is up to the President himself. This situation arose when Secretary Mellon issued a statement flatly deny ing that any general reorganization of the Internal ReTenue Bureau is contem plated. followed by an assertion by As- , slstant Scertary Dover that the bureau ( would be “Hardingized.” Despite these conflicting statements, high officials dtd not regard the incident as a break be tween the men. Secretary Mellon’s statement, addressed to the officers and employes of the bu reau, was regarded more as a move to aliay the fears of employes frightened by the clean-out of chiefs in the bureau, to maintain the highest standard of ef ficiency and to influence all employes to give loyal support and complete cooper ation to their chiefs. Mr. Dover, who yesterday talked with the President concerning the contem plated changes in the bureau, emphasized that no drastic or sudden changes are to be made. A reorganization of the bu reau has been quietly going on for some time, he said. This will continue until the heads of all divisions are efficient men friendly to the policies of the Ad ministration. The persistent rumor that Collector of Internal Revenue Blair is to resign, was revived as a result of the conflicting as sertions of his chiefs. While Mr. Blair refused even to discuss the report, he Is known to be greatly concerned over los ing good men from his bureau. He has found It difficult to keep efficient experts on low salaries from accepting private employment and the reports of whole sale dismissals has aggravated the sit uation. In his statement to the “Officers and All Other Employes of the Bureau of In ternal Revenue," Secretary Mellon said: “My attention has oeen called to the reports which have been appearing In the press predicting a general reorganization of the bureau of internal revenue and the removal of certain officers and heads of divisions. “These reports do not emanate from any official source and are absolutely •without foundation. No such reorganiza tion is now nor has been at any time contemplated. It is my desire, however, that the efficiency of the bureau should be maintained at the highest possible SLOANS EASES PAIN RELIEVES THE ACNE Tormenting, agonizing rh xnatic aches are quickly relieved r by Sloan's Liniment.

"It makes no difference to the victim of an autoist whether the car is driven by a mam or woman,” said Judge Corlett in sentencing Mrs. Elizabeth Cheney, society woman, to two days in the workhouse for driving her electric automobile past a street car as four passengers got off.

In Cleveland accidents dropped to 80 the first week as against 100 for the corresponding week a year ago.
