FINAL RUSH TO SEE HARDING IS ON THIS WEEK Political Chiefs Busy Fixing Appointments Prior to Inaugural. IABOR POST IS PROBLEM ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Feb. 15. The political chieftains of the Republican party are gathering at this Southern retreat of President-Elect Harding this week for what probably will be the last major conferences prior to March 4. Will H. Hays, the national chairman, arrived last night and was closeted with the President-elect until a late hour. Harry M. Daugherty, the personal and political adviser of the next President, who is looked on as* the next attorney general, will come to St. "Augustine Wednesday. Later in the week Fred Upham, the National Treasurer, will come to make a report on the state of the Republican exchequer, which closed the campaign with a deficit of more than a million dollars and which has been a source of more or less embarrassment to the party leaders. A portion of this deficit has already been made up by generous party men, but there still remains a sizeable chunk unpledged. All the organization officers have been working diligently to clear up this indebtedness before March 4. and they will report to Mr. Harding this week on the progress they have made. HAIS AND DAPOHERTT CASES TO BE SETTLED. The status of both Hays and Daugherty as Cabinet possibilities may also be settled this week. Mr. Harding's inaugural plans are still more or less unsettled, aside from his determination that there will be no elaborate display or ostentation. A report published in a Sunday newspaper that President Wilson had written President-elect Harding a letter of Inquiry about riding to the Capitol on March 4, and that this letter had be**n ignored by the President-elect was emphatically denied by Harding headquarters here. There has been no .correspondence of any sort between the President and Mr. Harding on this or any other subject. It was stated positively. The next President ig being deluged with advice and recommendations concerning the secretaryship of labor, for which there are several candidates. James J. Davis, Pittsburgh, supreme dictator of the Loyal Order of Moose, who is mentioned ss prominent candidate for the post, probably will come to St. Augustine the Inst of this week. T. V. O’Connor, New York, head of the long shoremen's union, will also be here this week. Frier cl sos James Duncan, Massachusetts, a a officer of the Granite Cutters' Union, are insistently urging that he be appoint**d labor secretary. Included in Duncan’s support 1s the not inconsider able weight or Senator Penrose. Pennsylvania. Doncun is an nffi.rer of the Amer- 1 lean Federation of Labor, but he was out of sympathy with President Gompers open espousal of the Cox cause during th# campaign. Duncan worked for the Republican ticket and this fact 1s not being overlooked by the President-elect and his advisers. On Mr. Harding's appointment list today were Congressman Frear of Wisconsin, a member of the Ways and Menns Committee, and Charles F. Ferguson, an American, who for some years has been adviser to the Chinese government. Frear was expected to report to the Presidentelect the condition of several congressional matters, including that of taxa tion and tariff. Ferguson, it Is understood, made a report on general conditions throughout the Far East with which he is familiar. REPORT PUTS O. K.

GOLDEN RULE UN REST-CURE Miss Tarbell Gives Views on Country’s Problems. Miss Ida M. Tarbell, famous American publicist, in her lecture last evening in the Jewish Temple, stated that If the golden rule were earnestly applied In business the industrial unrest and labor troubles of America would soon be brought to an end. She defined the two main roots of unrest and discontent as the conviction among laboring men that the fruits of labor are not fairly divided and growing resentment on the part of labor through the feeling that it is not given propta voice in the management of industries. “Honor, law and service," she stated, “is the trinity of business principles which would aid in gaining universal peace." The lecture was the third of a series of programs presented In the Temple by the education department of the Council of Jewish Women. Following her talk Miss Tarbell was entertained with an informal reception by the women. Mrs. Benjamin Moyer, chairman of the education committee, presented Miss Tarbell. FIRE DAMAGES DOUBLE HOUSE Flames Break Through Roof Before Discovery by Neighbors. Fire originating In an attic of a large double house at 511 and 513 East St. Clair stree at 0 o’clock this morning caused a loss estimated at more than $2,C00. Firemen were unable to determine whether the fire started froftj defective wiring or a defective flue. Rose Grill, 511 East St. Clair street, was not at heme when the fire started. It was on her side of the house that the fire was discovered when it broke through the roof. Neighbors telephoned the fire department. As soon as the firemen reached the scene an alarm was sent In for more companies. William Barrett occupied 513 East St. Clair street. Mr. Schumacher is the owner of the property. The loss ig partly covered by insurance. SENATE KEEPS BONE DRY BILL ALIVE BY VOTE (Continued From Cage One.) turning the proceeds over to the school funds. Opposition to the bill was expressed by Senator William E. English of Indianapolis, who declared he could see no occasion for the re-enactment of Federal laws into State laws. Senator Miles J. Furnas of Lynn declared the bill should be amended and that, although he would vote to have it considered, he would not voTe for it In its present form on Its p isssge. Senator Noble Hays of Soottsburg said the proposed law would be n**edle*s legislation and that needles* legislation is vicious legislation. Senator Nejdl took the occasion to remark that there now are more prohibition laws than can be enforced and that new ones should not be enacted until the present ones are enforced. A number of Senators were not present when the vote was taken and Senator Winfield Miller demanded that “these gentlemen be put on reeord." Senator Ray Southworth of Lafayette, however, moved that the absentees be excused and the motion carried. The absentees were Rehrner. Fitch, Hartzeii, Masters, Nichols, Self and Strode. Senator Oscar Ratts of Pro!!, Republican floor leader, who was presiding, was not recorded ns voting. The section of the bill which has met with the most objection, that which would make unlawful the mere possession of liquor above a specified amount, was stricken out on a motion by Sena tor Dunn, author of the bill.

Senator Furnas attempted to amend the hill to make |>ylson sentences discretionary with courts, hut the attempt failed. Numerous other efforts toward minor amendments to make tbe hill less stringent also failed. PROPOSES KOI.F.S IN SILOS HARKED. The debate took a humorous turn, when Senator Alfred Houston of Marlon Introduced an amendment to make unlawful the possession of a silo with a hole In the bottom. He declared It Is a common practice in the country for fanners to drink the fermented liquid from a silo. The amendment was Anally killed. The next attempt to amend was made by Senator Nejdl, who attempted to have stricken from the bill the section which prohibits the sale of proprietary medicines for beverage purposes. Senator Nejdl declared this provls'on covered too much ground. He demanded to knowhow a druggist who sells medicine contrining alcohol is to know whether It is to be used for beverage or medicinal purposes. Senator A. H. Beardsley of Elkhart declared It would be a detriment to the bill to strike out this section. He said “decent" proprietary medicine manufacturers are not desirous of having their products sold for beverage purposes. Tbe amendment was finally killed. The next amendment was introduced by Senator Will Brown of Hebron, who moved to strike out Section 4. placing restrictions on the sale of alcohol by druggists. The amendment was killed. Senator Nejdl moved to make further consideration of the bill n special order of business for 2 o'clock Feb. 10. Saturday af'ernoon, when the Senate is not ordinarily in session. Senator Dunn moved to table the motion and the motion was tabled. ‘Saplings’ to Face Mysteries Tonight A class of seventy-five “saplings" will be taken through the mysteries of the Forest of the Tall Cedars of I, *bn.ion tonight at the Gatling Gun Club, 707-70& North Illinois street, the. personally conducted tour to start promptly at o'clock.

LESH TO DECIDE IF CONTRACT ON BOOKS IS GOOD Attorney General Will Be Asked for Opinion on Possible Remedy. HEARINGS ARE FINISHED The question whether anything now can be done about the awarding of textbook contracts at figures higher than the old contracts was being discussed by the Senate Committee of Rights and Privileges today, following a hearing on the subject last night. The committee desires to learn whether the vote of the State board of education to award contracts to certain publishers constitutes the award of a contract, even though all the necessary signatures have not been attached to the contracts. Attorney General U. S. Lesh will be asked for an opinion on the subject. Some of the members of the hoard in the hearing indicated they believed it would be advisable to ask for now bids and some of the textbook publishers said a lower price could now be given. The question involved, however, la whether the successful bidders could contest such action successfully in the courts. The investigation was made as a result of a resolution introduced by Senator Howard Cann of Frankfort, who demanded to know why contracts were let at this time at a price reported to be SIBO,OOO a year more than the old price. At the committee's final hearing Inst night It developed that the board of education is divided in its opinion as to the advisability of obtaining textbooks at this time and that publishers are divided in their opinions a* to whether prices are lower now than in December, when bids were submitted, and whether prices will be lower in the near future. A peculiar circumstance was that hook mon who did not obtain contracts were emphatic lu their statements that prices are now lower than when bids were submitted and publishers who did obtain contracts were Just as emphatic in their statements that prices are no lower. WITNESSES ARE EVENLY DIVIDED. The committee heard four representatives of the board of education, two who vob-d for adoption of books and two who voted against the adoption, and four rq>reseutu lives of publishing concerns, two who obtalnod contracts and two who did not. The first member of the board to make a statement was A. M. Hail of Indianapolis, who voted for the adoption. He said tbe contracts worn awarded because many members of the board feared ;? they were made later books could not ho obtained at the opening of the school year. He explained thit. according to the Indiana law, if n publisher reduces hi* price in another State ho must reduce it in Indiana. He denied the new con tracts will mean an additional annual burden of Slt-0.000 on the buyers of school books He said the difference would bo less then $9,000, or about 2.2 cents a pupil. He said the grammar book cost* less than the old one. lie denied that books must ail be changed at once, declaring classes with old books can continue to use them.

i “Have you ever known books to go ; down in Indiana because the price has ■ been reduced in other States?’’ Senator | (tain asked. J “i have not during the four years I j have been a member of the board.” was ; the reply. j “Before the contracts were let did yon ! have data as to what the extra expense I would be?" the Senator asked. ' "No, sir. Nobody could get that," Mr. ; Hall replied. | “Did you discuss the hardship that | would be worked on the buyers of j books?” j “The figures stow that no hardship would be workem" Senator William M. Swain, a mraber of the committee, *sked if prices always governed the decisions of the board. Mr. Hall replied that the quality of the book wns always the first consideration. In answer to a question why the board adopted two spellers Instead or one, ilr Hall said that tills was thought advisable because no child can use the same book eight years and would be required to buy anew one any way. FAKBONB BELIEVES TREND DOWNWARD. Dr. W. W. Parsons, president of the State Normal School, one of the members of the board who voted against adoption of books at this time, said he believed that, despite differences in opinion, a majority of the board did what It thought best under the circumstanes. He said he felt under obligation to buy books at the lowest possible price. "Do yon believe that was done?’’ Senator Swain asked. “I don't know," was the reply. "I felt it would be better to reject all bids and ask for new ones, I felt the trend in prices was downward. I do not know how much less the cost would have been if we had readopted the old books. Wo | could not have adopted all (he old books. I for most of them were presented in n re- | vised form. I felt wo had before us a ! big business deal, involving about $2,000,000, and T believed if we readver- | tised for bids we would get lower prices.” j “Wbut about that law that prices must | come down in Indiana if they come down in other States V Senator Swain asked. “It would be easy to present slightly different books in other States,” Dr. Parsons replied. “During the tiiirty-six years I have been a member of the board I have never known Indiana to benefit by suoh a reduction. “Does the question of who publishes the books enter into their adoption?" Senator William A. Arnold, a member of the committee, asked. “Not so far as I am concerned,” Dr. Parsons answered. "I should be glad if the whole thing could be thrown open and new bids obtained," Dr. Parsons said. “I have been informed that books could be ready for distribution if the contracts were let two or three months later.” [ Dr. George It. Grose, president of Dp 1 Pauw University and a member of the ! hoard, said he hod come into possession of some “supposed facts” that led him to be'.iev" there would have been a possibility of a saving if the board had readvertised for bids. He said he had voted to reject all hids. He said the process of adoption was entirely regular and that the difference in cost of readoption of old books and tbe adoption of new ones was relatively small. C. O. Williams of Richmond, a member of the board who voted for adoption, said it was necessary because the books must be in the hands of the dealers by August. He defended the adoption of new books, declaring teachers and school officials were dissatisfied with the old ones. “Did you have ony facts conceruing a probable decrease in cost?” Senator Cana asked. “I had been informed there would be no decrease." Mr. Williams said. A. E. Wilson, representing Ginn & Cos., one of the successful bidders, said his price on the geography which was adopted would not be any lowei now than In December, when the bid wos submitted. “If the board shouM rescind the contracts would you feel justified in con-

testing the case in the courts?" Senator Oliver E. Dunn, a member of the committee, asked. “I think I would,” Mr. WiJson said. J. N. Tankersley, Chicago manager of the McMillan Company, an unsuccessful bidder, declared that if his geography had been adopted his company would immediately have reduced the price of the first book 9 cents and of the second book 15 cents. He Bald the price of cloth and paper hod dropped since December. J. C. Carr, representing the Bobbs-Mer-rill Company, a successful bidder, ridiculed the idea that prices could be any lower now than In December. He said his company’s bid price had been based on an average price of materials covering a period of five years. He declared that his company could not give any better prices today than In December. Mr. Carr introduced John McParfend, president of tbe International Typographical Union, who declared that labor prices in the printing industry will not be reduced. v Frank D. Farr, representing the SilverBurdett Company, unsuccessful bidders, said his company could give a better price now than It did in December. He said the price of binding cloth has dropped 8 cents a yard and that the price of paper is lower.

SPECIAL COAL FUND MOUNTS TO $104,907.45 (Continued From Page One.) as a resnult of the coal commission act. in commenting on the work of tbe commission the report says: The commission, through Its efforts, was able to establish business relations between many retailers and operators who had never had business relations before, and the commission has always felt that if all the operators of Indiana had shown the same disposition to co-operate with this commission that a few of them have, that the consumption of Indians coal within the State might have been doubled or trebled. The increased freight rates from the eastern anti southern fields will so increase the price of coal coming from other States that the price to the ordinary consumer will be prohibitive, and the opportunity during the life of the special cool and food commission to increase the consumption of Indiana coal has been one which good business men ought never to have overlooked. It has been the commission’s sincere effort at all times to treat operator, wholesaler, retailer and consumer with fairness and Justice, and we believe that the facts of the past six months will prove that the effort* of the commission have been a hardship on no one, having Bared the people of Indiana more titan $1,500,000 and having kept tbe k -hoots open and the utilities operating and having prevented thousands of Inhabitants from want and suffering. The life of the commission expires March 31, according to the law under which it was ertnted. In its report the commission asks that the Legislature im mediately reduce the tonnage tax on coal from 1 cent to cent This would be effective only until March 31. The commission made no recommendations for food control legislation as required by the law, be a use tbe law carried no appropriation for an Invest! gallon and the coal Investigation money could not be used for that purpose. The commission as at present, constitute! Is composed of Governor Warren r. Mct’rny, :iliaro G. Oliver, auditor of State, and Jesse K. Kschbnch, chief examiner of the State board of accounts. Mr. Ksehbach Is tbo active bead of tu commission. SIMS RESIGNS STATE TAX JOB FOR BUSINESS (Continued From l‘ze One.) I offered the sppointment to Judge Benjamin F. Carr of Montlcello v.ltbout knowing of the constitutional limitation which might operate against his acceptance Th s legal question is now being thoroughly Investigation and l will await tbe decision of the attorney general's office before proceeding farther. The name of Mr. Sim's successor will, therefore. be held lu abeyance for the present." The resignation of Mr. Sima leaves John G. Brown, u Republican, and I’hlllp Zoercher. a Democrat, on the board. Governor MKTny announced before he took office that he would ask for Mr /.oerchor's resignation. There are no judications that he has changed his mind. Mr. Brown was appointed by Governor Goodrich, Just prior to his leaving the office, at. the request of Governor McCray. Mr. Brown succeeded Strange N. Craguu.

Triplett, the physician who examined the bodies of Davis' parents stated today that the examination had only been a cursory one. In a statement before Justice of the Pence Irvin he declared he had found no evidence of gunshot wounds and asserted he was “convinced the aged couple were murdered" and that “there was no question as to that fact In bis report of the examination."
