Washington Sept. 12. Slowly but
steadily Mrs. Hurdlng continued to
gain today.
Whilo tho President's wiro Is' by
no means past tho danger : point
nor even assured ns yet of recovery
by comparison with last Thursday
and Friday she Is a great deal better.
A note of warning against too
great of optimism came from the
white house early today. It was
pointed out that Mrs. Harding's ex-
cellent condition now is only com-
parative and that sho still Is ex-
tremely weak and in great danger
ot her lifb because ot tho insldloin
character of tho kidney malady from
which fch& is suffering.
Each hcur however that sees no
recurratice ot tho alarming compllctit

strengthens Mrs. Harding's chancs.

Hi. Charles Mayo tho famous

lieved an operation might bo the
oiily means ot saving Mrs. Harding
probably will return to his home to-
dy. If an operation has to be per-
formed Dr. John Finney of John
Hopkins probably will perform it.
As a result of the lessening f tho
crisis President Harding last night
retired about 9:30 o'clock. Mrs.
Harding at that time wa3 resting
comfortably and told the president
she was going to sleep.

nal libel an Infringement on tho
rights of the Individual and con-
tempt of court" Rlchberg shoutod.
"If it was perpetrated by an In-
dividual instead ot by a man who
is supposed to be the chief law en-
forcer of the nation he would bo
subject to criminal prosecution for
slander and defamation of charac-
ter." Daugherty was not In court to
