Texas "Northern" Spoils Vacation Plans on E ET DAVID M. CHURCH ; STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE POINT ISABEL, TEX.. Nov. 12 A Texas "Norther" blew the vacation r.ar.s of Presiderc-elect Harding ashore tcday. The 35-mile gale which blew in from Lag-ana Madre ruined tarpon fishing for the president-elect and made his thoughts turn to his old sport, golf. A fine mist, known as llueva ter.tporate Try the Mexican fishermen here, has accompanied the "Norther" and may even Interfere with the senator's golf. Meanwhile, Mexican leaders. along he border were gratified today by tha fact that Senator Harding had received Consul Vazquez and a delegation of Matarnoros business men and while the president-elect was exceedingly careful to eay nothing concerning recognition cf Mexico by the U. S.. the Mexican leaders fel certain that he holds a friendly feeling towards their government. The Mexican delegation Invited Senator Harding to visit Matxmcros. but he declined, promising, however ,that he would visit the quaint oM Mexican city in official capacity if he comes to Texas after his inauguration. Tha president-elect also congratulated the delegation on the good feeling that exists between the Mexican city nd the American city officials and declared that this same feeling should exist between tha two nations. Senator Harding invited the Mexican leaders to call upon him in Wahingtoa. Although the preident-elect was soma what surprised by the call of the delegation he received them graciously, but was studious in his effort to avoid any remarks which might b construed as interfering la the diplomatic situation. However. Mexican leaders were encouraged by the friendly spirit which the' next president of the U. S. displayed. Border gossip has it that the present Mexican regime- is very much interested in tha attitude cf the presidentelect for there are rumors coming across the border that the Obregon government may have come political difficulties during the early days of Us admission. It is certain that Mexican leaders have been anxious to eecure some expression from President-elect Harding aa to his Mexican attitude, but he has indicated that he will have nothing to say on this matter until he is in office. Strict enforcement cf the law ha? been ordered in Matamoras and the IkJ has been clamped own tight since the Harding party arrived across the bord. -r. Mexican newspapers have informed the citizens that the city will be udr inspection of distinguished Americans and la arranges fcr a dinner for the newspaper men cautious inquiry was made whether there would be offense if light wines were served sn the MexW tan city. Many members cf the Harding party were duck-hunting today, the weather being suited to that sport, but the preslder.t-elect does not care for that eport and elected to remain :n tha little green cottage on the wave-driven promontory, awaiting favorable weather for golf. Mrs. Harding also remained at Point Isabel. Senator and Mrs. Joseph Frellnghuysen. cf New Jersey, Joined the Harding party here today. E SENT EAST BY JUDGE ANDERSON Judge A. E.

SAYS THE OLD BOAT CANT GO FIFTY
Anyway Hammond Judge Wants Harbor Lawyer to Make a Test A. C. Teied, an Indiana Harbor lawyer was arraigned in Hammond pt-Uce I court this morning on charges of speeding and driving his automobile with the ; I niuft'le- cut out. The hearing brought ! I out the story of a wild chase by Officer ilenscn through Hammond. East Ch;- i j cagcand Indiana Harbor befoie Tolua i I was finally landed. The race started on Calumet ave., J where Ilenton says Folea's old automo bile was n-.aiung fifty and fifty-five miles an hour. The cop overhauled the car at th four corners in East Chicago. There Henson told Folca he was under arrest and should come bacii to the station. ITolea said he wouid turn around but Instead started to run away again. Down side streets, around corners at thirty miles per they sped. Hen&on j says Folea went around one block near the Republic Steel mill fifteen times. Then he broke for Indiana Harbor. More dodging followed but after traveling aboul fifteen miles :n the cny. Folea reached home and put h:s car in the garage. Then it was eald he stood on , his back porch and dared the cop to i arrest him without a warrant. Henson came back to Hammond and J procured the warrant. ! This morning Folea scoffed at the j .dea of his old rattletrap Overland makI ir.g over twenty miles an hour. He ofj fered to bring experts to prove that it couldn't go faster than that. He said the reason he had refused to submit to rr-st was that he could not tell that Honaon was an officer and that one time he had been held up and robbed in just that way. He objected to the warrant because It gave only his initial instead of his first name and offered to show Judge Klots the law on which he bases his motion to discharge himself because cf tliis emission. The matter was continued unti! November 22nd to give Folea time in which to read up. He promises to bring tha old car over and let the Judge try it out for speed. BACK FROM WESTERN TRIP Just returning from a trip west. Jacob Diamond trtates that fruit grower out there have enjoyed one of the greatest harvests in the history of horticulture. Grapes, there are grapes br the train loads. Shipping facilities are not so bad now, and this luscious fruit, once considered a luxury, comes into the eastern markets at about 50 per cent under prices of former years. Favorable weather permitted the maturing of a phenomenal fruit crop the country over. Pears and apples are plentiful, thankj to the weather man. snd the prices will be considerably crder those of last year. The potato crop came out well, and as prices thereon have now found their level, the public should have no hesitancy in laying in their winter's supply, according to the view of Mr. Diamond, who Is a pioneer fruit man. Speaking further on the subject of potatoes. Mr. Diamond says, if you get ' tired of serving potatoes the usual way Just slip a half doren right inside the furnace door and serve them r'd hot when hubby comes home for dinner. Of course the jackets will be more cr less smutty, but it is , this very thing that imparts a flavor that can be brought out in no other way. Another way. says Jake, is to boil the potatoes and mash them In the usual way. but do not season. Let each one help himself and Mason to suit. Butter, salt and pepper added after the potatoes have been mashed In the pan affords a flavor that is dif- j ferent and extremely palatable. j People should not be afraid of the j Jacket on potatoes, for this very thing' i th';y are afraid of is a friend. The skin i ! of the potato contains iron and other j ! substance? that are needful in er.richj ins the Moo.i. "J arn not a doctor, but j always prescribe baked potatoes ! ! with the jackets on to dot-.cate people. ! ;t it not oxly a food, b :t a medicine. " I I ARRESTED FOR : ALLEGED BIGAMY, .

ATKINS j TVAsHINGTON' ov. 12 Liquor prob- j lenis, tnad mere complex by the i-u- j prerne court's recent td:et, allowing' the1 withdrawal fro.n storage for home use. ; today kept government enforcement ! agencies in a turmoil o funcertalntj. ; Some phases of the liquor warehouse j question particularly involving the stc- j tus of commercial warehouse certifiestcs. were to hedged about with diffi- j j t.ulty that government officers freely j predicted that new litigation soon would be ain Us, TaJd c,ou"' to the highest tribunal for t.nai de cision. Ally. Gr.. Palmer will be asked for au opinion on the testrictions which the micrnal revenue bureau may invoke 3S a mean a of preventing anticipated abuses of whiskey withdrawals. Commissioner of Internal Kivenue Wiliams and hib aides, meanwhile sought to draw regulations designed to stand the teats of the courts. Tho accepted view of dry law enforcers it that while the supreme court, in itu decision, did not specifically deal with bonded warehouaca, this phase of tha problem cannot be ignored except at the risk of further handicaps to the autG of enforcement. . . The department of justice, tt was said will not gi" e its view until th& text of the decii-lon had been carefully considered and request, had beyn pflicially made for an interpretation by other f.gencles directly empowered to aindnister the Vel&tcad act No ruling prohibiting the sale of malt extract, hops or compounds uted m home beer making has been made by the intrnal revenue bureau Commissioner Williams said. This matter has been discussed but no action has boen takn. The matter has not reached me for decision and in view cf the conflictiuf legal opinions, it is entirely futile to speculate on what final disposition will be male of the matter. It was learned at the bureau that the office memoranda and discussion grew out of protests made by cereal beverage manufacturers v ho desire to put the lid on home brewing which it is tali, is seriously threatening their trade. Many officials of the bureau admitted ths l It would be almost impossible to restrict sale of hops and malt when sugar and yeast, which also enter into home brewing, may be freely purchased. Such a restriction, they tear, might be j beaten ia the courts. IS GREAT SUCCESS rPECUL TO THE TIME-1 LOWELL, Ind..

Worth told his audience what he! thought constituted an efficient em-! ploymer.t manager and of the, manyj ways sn which he could make himself t useful to his plant. He believes tr.ei plant should choso a man from "si n force, If possible, who is thor- j oughiy acquainted with the wor'.t of the factory. He thinks this man; should be in close touch with all or j the foremen and when a man proves i undesirable in one department hej should be given another chance else-i where in the plant. ! Following his speech he answered -i i number of questions from tha men! present. ! Twenty-five m:n ennectd w.thj plants of the three cities were prpsen j last night.
