Railroad, and head of the anti-prohibition committee, passed copies of the letter to his sixty-two associates, commenting: “I flattered myself that the Seventh District committee of this association was composed of the highest class representation in the city, and a careful perusal of the sixty-three names certainly would not justify the slighting reference by State Senator Moorhead, as I doubt whether there Is a single barkeeper in the association."

This resolution was favorably acted upon by this body, since which time the officials who were I directed to furnish the desired informa- | tion have Ignored the demands of the Senate, and since information has come to members of the Senate that there has come about a most serious situation in reference to the finances of the State. j “It appears on undoubted informa- ; tion that the provisions of the public , depository law have been inadvertently violated and all the deposits of State funds in 200 or more banks in our State to an amount in excess of $4,900,000 today is in those depositories without the safeguard of surety bond, as required by the depository law of our State. “Since the officials to whom my resolution was directed are directly responsible for the above named State's funds not being protected as provided by the depository act, therefore, I desire to protest against the disregard of said officials shown in their failure to respond to the demand of the Senate and demand that this protest be written into the journal and made a part of the records of the Senate.” % COUNCIL LARGE’ State Measure Calls For Indianapolis Change.

High Lights of Harding Speech By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. Striking sentences from President Harding’s message on the British debt settlement included: “It is a covenant of peace and recuperation, of respect and cooperation. “There is no purpose to report that your commission has driven a hard bargain with Great Britain or to do a less seemingly thing in proclaiming a rare generosity In settlement. "Your commission went so far as it believed the American sense of fair play' would Justify. “The call of the world today ie for Integrity of agreements, the sanctity of covenant and the validity of contracts. “If Congress fails in providing the merchant marine act. the executive branch of the Government may' proceed as best it can to end the (shipping board) losses In liquidation and humiliation.”

It is a covenant of peace and recuperation.j It is anew element of financial and i economic stabilization when tho world is sadly needing a reminder of the ways of peace. “It Is an example of encouragement and inspiration, when the world is staggering in discouragement* q/ndi bowed with the sorrows of wars which humanity is praying may be avoided." If the debtor nation could approach the question in such a spirit ns Britain showed, the United States should meet it. in the same spirit, and readily approve, Mr. Harding said, “and with a promptness that will convey fitting appreciation." He told Congress that he realized the short time remaining in the session, but declared that there is ample time to dispose of both the debt funding and the ship subsidy bills, even allowing for much debate. “Either is fit to be recorded a chapter in great achievement, both will mark a signal triumph,” he said. “Both are inseparably related to our good ! fortunes at home and our high place in the world." The President made no recommendation as to the form the legislation approving the settlement should take. He left it to Congress to decide whether to make a general amendment of the debt funding law, applying the terms of the British settlement to all debtor nations, or to approve merely the British agreement separately, without changing the

for any favors or assistance. New will not ask Watson to say anything to President Harding about appointments. The story being passed around the Indiana delegation is that New. as postmaster general, might have some effect on the presidential aspirations of Watson. Therefore, it is added, Watson will not mourn if New Is not In the official family, although he might not obi t if New were put on the international boundary commission or in some other insignificant job. Watson Out of Senate

Watson laughs at the suggestion that he is a presidential candidate. Vet he tells Ms friends that he will not be a candidate for the Senate again. And his friends are out turning every trick to keep Watson tn the presidential spotlight. The one trick that must be turned is to estab llsh Watson as the Republican leader in Indiana. In that place there would be cause to consider him in a Republican convention. It is there that New enters the considerations. If New remains in Washington as a member of the official family he probably will continue in politics. Watson as leader of the Indiana delegation in Congress, a place be has already taken steps to establish for himself, might not have the prestige that he would have with New out of political life. Question Arises Whether Watson has done anything to discourage the appointment of New is a question. Some of New's friends insist he has. New does not give ear to any such statements, ns he has only Lssued one edict, that none of his friends should go to President Harding seeking an appointment for him. Incidentally, New knows fairly well that Watson could not hurt him much with the President, as New and Harding are too close political and personal friends. That Watson lias not gone to the White House In New's behalf recently is certain, however. He has been to the White House and he has conferred with the President. Questioned as to whether he had anything to savin behalf of Senator New, his repljlias been that he did/not discuss the subject at all.

OLD PORK BARREL ISSUE CROPS OP IN HOUSE ACTION Item of $20,000,000 Sneaks Into Army Appropriation Bill, By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Senators today began an inquiry to solve the “mystery” of how an item of $20,000,000 “crepti nto” the Army appropriation bill when it passed the House. This $20,000,000 was added on the floor of the House to the appropriation for improving the rivers and harbora j in the United States. No Specific Purpose There is no specific purpose for which the additional sum is to be expended. The budget bureau estimated that the improvement contemplated bj’ Armj- engineers the next fiscal j'ear was onlj" $27,000,000. Under the new order of affairs in Congress, the rivers and harbors appropriation is carried in a lump sum and the improvements contemplated are specified by the budget bureau at the instance of Army engineers who conduct the improvements. The House committee added $10,000,000, so that there w-ould be plentj- of money for improvements, but with no debate in the House the amount was mysteriously $20,000,000 more, or a total of $56,000,000. McCumber Asks Why Senator McCumber of North Dakota. Republican, has demanded to 1 know what this money Is going to be ! spent for and who is going to decide | what it is to be spent for. “The amount for improvement has | been mysteriously doubled and I want I to find out how the money is to be expended,” McCumber said. McCumber is backed by Senators Borah, King, Smoot, Lenroot and ! Wadsworth, who has charge of the Army bill on the floor.
