GARDEN WORK ABOUT ENDED, MIESSE SAYS More Than Half City’s Fund for 1922 Will Be Turned Back to Treasury. With the bulk of Its work for the yea# finished, the Fatrlotic Gardeners’ Association has more than half its 1022 appropriation from the city ready to be turned back to the general fund. Secretary Harry Miesse announced today. The appropriation was SI,OOO. Only $406.5" has been spent for office supplies and salaries of clerks. Mr. Miesse serves without pay. Mr. Miesse iutimatcd that he might not continue the work next year because of the demand upon his time, but Mayor Shank urged him not to fail to operate the association office in the city hall. The mayor said he believes the work Is so Important he will have the 1023 budget contain another SI,OOO appropriation for it. The association office thus far this year has distributed "5.000 packages of _free seeds, 35,000 tomato plants and 25,000 cabbage plants grown by the city park department. The large tracts of ground which are divided Into plots and assigned to gardeners were secured again this year at the work house and Crown Hill along Burdsall Parkway, Pleasant Run boulevard and Ritter avenue. Altogether 915 persons applied for lots, 70S were assigned, ninety-seven rejected and nineteen are unassigned. “In spite of the fact that many of the vacant lot gardeners were deprived of their lots on account of the large increase in building, there were many lots assigned and the enthusiasm was not In the least lessened,” said Mr. Miesse. “The gardening season had a much earlier start than before, due to the favorable weather, and on the 6th of June, Fwhen formerly gardens were just getting a start, our gardeners reported tomatoes as large as hen eggs and cabbages tig enough for table use.”

Washington Briefs

WASHINGTON, June 14.—The President and Mrs. Harding are hoping to | celebrate an old-fashioned Fourth of 1 July back on the new historic front 1 porch at Marlon, Ohio. If It Is possible for them to arrange It, they are sure of a rousing welcome from the “old home town,” as they have not been there since leaving for Washington on March 2, 1921, to take up residence in the White House. Nothing would please the Hardings more than to be back for a few i days among the plain folks of long acJ qualutanee, to shake hands and hear all about Marlon's chapters in the relentless story of life—births, marriages and 'deaths —to have some old friend forget tho formality of "Mister President” in his etnhuslasm to say "Howdy, Warren!” Plans under consideration call for arrival of the White House party at Marlon about July 2 and a stay of about four or five days. There are rumblings of discontent among Republicans In Congress who face stiff battles for re-election. They are drifting toward a. State of mind which well might lead the President to exclaim, “Save mo from my friends.” The grievance of the House members arises from Mr. Harding’s two visits to j New Jersey as guest of Senator Frelinghuysen, a candidate for re-eltetlon this ] year. They construe them as forceful j reminders to Jersey voters of tho strong i ties of friendship existing between the Senator and the White House and con* ! tend actual speeches of indorsement are unnecessary. The President had refused ! steadfastly to Intervene in party primary contests by writing letters of Indorsement for sitting members. Three prominent members of the Washington diplomatic corps called at tho White House today to say farewell to the President. George Bakhmeteff, ambassador of Russia since July, 1917, who resigned recently, called to say good-by. lie will not return. Senator Vittorio Ronaldi Ricci, the Italian ambassador, who Is not expected to resume his post, was another. He sails from New York on Wednesday. The third was Baron De Carteir De Marchienne. the Belgian nm- ! bassador, who is leaving on vacation j Ambassador Baxhmeteff and Senator

Ricci have figured prominently In recent Senate debates. President Harding's appointment off Fred Starck as a director of the War Finance Corporation may encounter some criticism by Administration baiters because of Mr. Starck’s services as an unobtrusive political observer and confidential adviser for the White House, but the appointment found instant favor among Washington newspaper men, with whom the new official had been identified for many years. It was felt, furthermore, Democratic criticism of the choice of a newspaper-trained man for such a high financial post was estopped by the McAdoo selection of another capable correspondent, George B. Cooksey, for the office of assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Starck formerly was Washington correspondent for the Cincinnati Enquirer. A position as national bank examiner was offered to him by President Taft, but Mr. Starck declined. He succeeds Angus W. Mcl.ean, who retired from the War Finance Corporation on May 17. Senator Ladd of North Dakota sends out to his constituents every week a multographed letter entitled “Governmental Activities." When he came to Washington as the choice of the radical Nonpartisan League his presence was regarded with considerable misgivings by the more conservative members of tho Republican party. The last few months have demonstrated, however, that Mr. Ladd's ‘'radicalism” Is of a mixed variety. Between letters to his constituents denouncing the "gradual decay and debauchery of the political machinery that has operated to furnish us with our public officers,” and an occasional hardfisted fling at the existing credit system, Mr. Ladd gives his whole-hearted support to the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill. The emergency tariff bill, many of whose rates are Incorporated In the tariff bill under consideration now, Mr. Ladd tells his constitutes forced Canadians to contribute more than $5,500,000 to the support of this Government, “while our American farmer was receiving a better price than would have been possible under free trade.” Richard Washburn Child, the American nmtassajlor to Italy, seems likely to go down In diplomatic history as tho "Genoa spectator.” Washington officials learned of the application—already being applied In Italian press references—

INDIANA DAILY TIMES

through the Rome correspondent of the Public Ledger Foreign Service. The title is likely to 6tick, as all those who knew the difficulties of the Ambassador’s position at the Genoa conference realized the patience and tact demanded of him to keep strictly to his role of' “unofficial observer.” Political Washington Is beginning to scrutinize the words and deeds of Wellington Rankin, attorney general of Montana, who is a candidate for the Republican senatorial nomination In that State. Identified here chiefly as the brother of Miss Jeanette Rankin, first woman to be elected to Congress, Mr. Rankin Is reported to be going out to establish his own reputation along lines of political thought which are disturbing the conservative leaders. Months ago it became known Representative Carl Riddick was the choice of the conservatives for the seat now held by Senator Henry L. Myers, a Democrat. He has been aided by some Administration leaders. Mr. Rankin Is said to have a decided edge in the contest. His triumph would be hailed as another chapter in tho political story to which Indiana, Pennsylvania and lowa have contributed Installments. While Congressmen and politicians In Washington are In an excited flurry over tho now famous Dever-Blair row, which gives Indications of terminating, the principals who have the most at stake refuse to get excited. David H. Blair, collector of internal revenue, acts as If he had never heard of the affair, and Elmer Dever, assistant secretary of the treasury, responds with humor to all attempts to draw him out. A customs official today sent him a miniature brass flag staff, with a tiny silk American flag flying on It, which now rests on Mr. Dever’s desk. "Well, you see the flag Is still flying,” he told a group of newspaper men, after his talk with the President . “If things go against you,” sold a correspondent. "I suppose you will put th. flag at half-mast.” “Yes,” s Id Mr. Dever, “and If tho President fires mo, I guess the flag will be run down to the bottom.” ASSASSINS KILL BABY. BELFAST.
