Senate confirms William F. Stone as customs chief for Baltimore
The Senate approved the nomination of William F. Stone to be collector of customs for Baltimore amid protests by Maryland citizens who alleged his ties to a gambling club. The charges were not sustained as Stone also serves as sergeant-at-arms of the Republican National Committee. The river and harbor bill moved forward with increased appropriations for Anacostia and Potomac projects. A Naval Reserve bill was introduced to enroll citizens under age five for five-year service upon presidential call. The House Ways and Means also backed a bill to protect Alaska seal fisheries.
