Before March 4th

to work after three weeks' vacation
in which President Harding had wad-
ed Into a vast amount of correspond-
ence and miscellaneous business that
must be cleared away before he can
give thought to final decisions on the
personnel of his. cabinet and other
major problems.
Mr. Harding returned to St. Augus-
tine last night from hla houseboat
cruise along tho Florida coast and es-
tablished offices In tho St. Augustine
hotel which will be his home until
he leaves for Washington to bo in-
augurated. mo cabinet appointments which Mr.
Harding s close friends believe to be
virtually determined Include Charles
Evans Hughes of New York for se
relary of state; Harry M. l;aughorty
of Ohio for attorney general; Will
11. Hays of Indiana for postmaster
general; Henry Wallace of Iowa for
secretary of agriculture.
Yet even In respect to these it is
realize! that there may be many a
slip between the first of February
and the fourth of March.
For the secretaryship of war sev-
eral men still are mentioned. Promi-
nent among them is John W. Weeks
of Massachusetts whose name also is
linked repeatedly with tho navy and
treasury portfolios.
Frank O. Lowd.n of Illinois Is an-
other mentioned as a possibility for
tint secretaryship of the navy and
the friends of Andrew M. Mellon of
Pennsylvania still urn urging Ti"
qualification to be secretary of the
treasury. For the latter post It Is un-
derstood that Charles G. Dawes of
Illinois oi.i'u conceded to huvo Inside
track no longer Is u serious powsl-
bility. Senator A. II. Fall of New Mexico
is believed to be under serious consid-
eration for secretary of the Interior
and whether he goes into tho place
it is understood to depend largely
on his own inclination. For the same
place John Hays Hammond of New
York is being strongly recommended.
It is in regard lo the secretaryship
of labor und commrrcn that Mr. Hard-
ing'!! mind Is believed lo bo farthest
from a decision. Tho records and
qualifications of several men aro said
to ho under Investigation In connection
with the labor portfolio one of the
latest to receive prominent suppoit
being J. A. Davis of Pittsburg Pa.
formerly a steel worker and now a
banker. The place nt tho bond of
the commerce of department Is expect-
ed to bo the last of all to bo filled
and it may fall lo one mentioned for
a post ranking near tho lop of the
list
It is certain that Mr. Hardin will
take no dcniflte steps until ho had
held fuiiiier conferences with Ids ad-
visers and next week is expected to
see the beginning et u series of consul-
tations here that will bring a decis
ion. It Is unlikely that any uppoint-
I meiitH will be unnnunccd. however.

TL'TION; BACK TO STAY
Norman Feb. 10. After a lur-
lough of three years German as
a college ulJect hus reappeared
on the curriculum ut the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma
Action In reestabjishtng the
language Is taken as an admission
that colleges of the United States
were unwarranted In dropping
German from tlheir schedules dur-
ing tho war reaction language au-
thorities believe.
French and English colleges in-
creased instead of abandoning
their teaching of German When the
war broke out it la said. Saint
Cry the "Went Point" of France
made the study of German com-
pulsory instead of elective. In Ger-
many every graduate of the prac-
tical secondary schools was re-
quired to have nine years of
French und six years of English.
Dr. Itoy T. House head of the
department of modern languages
at the university states.
Before the wur German was
taught in colleges and universit-
ies of the United States more than
Sipaniwh end French combined
Dr. 1 Louse declares. Since the war
many schools have diminished
their German fxcultit at the ex-
pense of a loss of much valuable
literature the is convinced.
Because of the willingness of
Germans to learn other languages
they were enabled to gain a stromg
foothold In South America after
the English were established there

Tho ways and means committee had
up tho "violins' schedule and W. R.
Clymer of Columbus Ohio was on

fiddle the first two Instruments ow-
ing a month out of the factory while
the $300 box was six years old and
the $IS00 one nobody knew how old.
Clymer defied thn tariff-makers to
detect differences in tone. It looked
like a class of experts wna coming
when Chairman Fordney announced
that hn owned a Strndavarius made In
Tension passed however when
Mr. Fordney said to tho violinist:

Into tho wide corridors of the ofl'ico

Chicago Feb. 10. The federal
railroad labor board today denied
the request of tho American As-
sociation of Railway ICxecutlves
for Immediate abrogation of the
national wage- agreements with
the brotherhoods und establish-
ment of a ne.w basic rato for un-
skilled labor predicated on local
conditions.
The decision camu Just before
V. M. Jewell president of the
railway employes' department of
the American Federation of Iiabor
had begun his reply to the state-
ment made for tJhw railway exe-
cutives last week by W. W". At-
terbury of the Pennsylvania lines.
The decision was totally unexpec-
ted but Mr. Jewell made his state-
ment nevertheless.

"unwarranted demands."
Mr. Jewell's Statement
Conspiracy on iho part of American
railroad executives ami financiers to
destioy the organizations of railroad
workers and re-establish uulocratic
financial control of the transportation
Industry wus charged today by I!.
M. Jewell president of the railway
employes department of the Ameri-
can Federation of lather who appeared
before the United States railway labo'
board. He asked the board to posr1
pene further consideration of tho pen-
lug appeal ot tho railroads to abrogate
the national agreement on working
conditions and to proceed ut once to
hear evidence the unions aro prepared
to submit in support of these charges.
Mr. Jewell chief spokesman for
tho railroad workers unions also
charged the railroad executives with
"framing up" evidence and declared
a fair consideration of the pending
enso Is Impossible until tho motives
inspiring the request to abrogate the
national agreement are fully revealed
by both the board and the public.
Ho asserted that lust week's state-
ment to tho board by W. W. Atteibury
of the Pennsylvania railroad chair-
man ot tho labor eommltteo of tho
American Association ot Railway Ex-
ecutives wus designed to stampede
tho board into a position which ma-
ture consideration would prove to be
Indefensible.
He added that Mr. Atterbury also at-
tempted to "falsely" convince tho
public that high rates due to financial
Irregularities and Inefficiencies or rail-
road management ure attributable to
the unions of railroad workers "and
to obtain a weapon from which to ex-
act from tho government full payment
of the exorbitant claims which the
railroads are making'' nd lo coerce
and threaten tho railroad workers by
the "sceptro ot unemployment and re-
duced wuges."
Mr. Jewell charges that Mr. Atter-
bury Is the spokesman of a powerful
financial combination seeking tho re-
establlshment of "this uutoerutio con-
trol from which the wur hus freed us
and which was especially exemplified
by conditions on tho Pennsylvania
railroad."
"Mr. Atterbury" he added "has re-
vealed the Intention or ccruiln men
to override the board ond to fraineup

"Ho represents a conspiracy at-
tempting lo east discredit upon the

thn public and fasten the unjust treat-
ment and unbelievable conditions of
employment of the Pennsylvania rail-
road upon tho management and em-
ployes of all railroads.

IIOl'ITAL AND ALL OTHER
.. WORK
Washington Feb. 10. Charges that
government bumius having to do
with soldier relief are "packing the
committees of the' American Legion
with bureau employes who aro mem-
burs of tho legion" were made before
the legions executive eommltteo by
Abel Davis of Chicago chairman of
the hospitalization commlttet.
"As a result the work of tho legion
in soldier relief matters is being great-
ly hanulcapped" said Mr. Davis who
added that at the Cleveland conven-
tion "uhe bureaus licked us to n
frazzle In all matters relating to vet-
erans relief and legion wondered how
it was done."
Speaking on the proposed consoli-
dation of the bureaus of vocational
education war risk insurance and a
part of the public health service Mr.
Davis declared:
"Heads of tho bureaus do not get
along together nor do they co-operate
for the best interests of tho service
men. Statement by them which
they Ihave made to us repeatedly have
no truth in them. They spend the
greater part of their time getting up
records; In other worjK ipn-paring
their alibis before hand."
After hearing Mr. Davis the execu-
tive eommltteo recommended to the
state division of tho legion that they
refrain from appointing government
bureau employes on their committees.
Mr. Imvls ulso etargod that former
service men were being kept in priv-
ate hospitals that wen.- "indescrib-
ably filthy and in wiiich conditions
are terrible."
Ho said that after tho men were
placed In such hospitals they were
left without visits or insections by
representatives of tho public health
service. He read a report of a survey
of a hospital In Illinois mado by rep-
resentatives of tho legion. This report
said that White and negro patients
slept in the samo rooms that the
pharmacy containing narcotics and
l:iigs ot ull sorts was left unlocked
.Tut thai '.vhen usked If feniilo pn-
tienls used tho Fame bath room us the

"tho women only remained aliout two
weeks and didn't take any buths."

MAKER ASKS FOR

RIGHT OF STATES
SENATOR VOICES CRYS TALIZA I ION
OF SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF
INTEGRALS OF UNION REGC-
LAT1NG OWN AFFAIRS
Madison Wis. Feb. 10. A move
to have AVisconsin tako the initiative
In restoring to states of the nation
tho rights lost through concentration
of power in the federal government
was made in tho senate today by
Timothy Iiurke of Green Pay in the
form ot an appeal addressed to all
state legislatures calling on them
to request constitutional convention.
The joint resolution he Introduced
declared that the fundamental rights
of self-government guaranteed by the
Tenth Constitutional amendment had
been encroached on by the national
government.
Senator ltui ke's move represents the
crystallzatinn of sentiment in Wis-
consin thut powers of the state are
steadily being drawn away by gradual
extension of the federal authority
through legislative enactment and ex-
ecutive and departmental order. Sen-
ator Burke dclared that tho purpose
of his resolution was to "safeguard
tho self-noverning power of tho states
anil specifically to define the powers
of the federal government so as to
restore to the people the rights of
homo ruin us originally intended in
the federal Constitution."
The present policy of tho govern-
ment according to a statement of
the resolution "coiHemplates no longer
that the people should uphold the na-
tional government but thai tho na-
tional government should uphold the
people. The day has arrived and
the growing power ot tho national gov-
ernment must be further curtailed by
specific constitutional .amendment
clearly defining the powers of con-
gress." IN THE INTERIM
THE ROAD TO THE
OIL FIELDS WAITS
The bourd of county commissioners
have recessed the February meeting
and the members havo gone to Okla-
homa City for it conference with the
state highway commissioner and feJ-
eral engineers on lliu Lone Crove-
Healdton federal nid project.
They expect to be back Saturday
and resume the session ot tho board.
From the best information The Ard-
nuirelto can gather it seems that the
local board wants to see the vi"llract
on the oil field road awurded lo Tom
Kills and C. C. Baker on the grounds
that Ellis and Baker are the low bid-
ders. They state that the Ellis-Baker
bid is lower than that of Maney Bros
of Oklahoma City by $ lfi.SUl.C9: that
If line F.lliH-liaker bid is accepted Ihe
$340OeO .which is available will com-
plete li!u road; that if the bil of
Maney Brothers is accepted the funds
available will fall short ot completion
by $IO.Ui)u.
On the other hand it is usserled
th it the federal etiRinii-r wants the I
cnlrael awarded lo Maney Brothers
for the reason thai as he asnej-ta i
Maney Brothers are most xperi'eiici. j
in road construction work that tile bids'
called for liie awarding of th
con -
tract to the lowest nnd "best" ll Ider
It Is also asserted that tie federal
engineer does li"t figure that Ihere
Is a differenci- of $40.oou in th

but a sum much less.
The statement Is made that the
