CLARK tJTAF COMESPONDCNT t. N. SERVICE WASHINGTON". Dec XI Responding ta an invitation from the president, aovcrnora of fifteen states came to Washington today for a conference with Mr. Harding at tbe White Houu on wiji and means of more effectively clamping down tha prohibition enforcement lld. The govenrors came here frash from their three day conference at White Sulphur Springs, where la a rather Informal manner, the same problem waa discussed. President Harding- will mince few vords In maktpg It Quite plain to the governors that hereafter dry agents, federal or etate. must unite In closest co-operation to combat liquor. The question ef the propriety er the expediency of the dry law la not an Issue In this conference. President Harding now Is only con cerned with effective enforcement. While President Harding doee not feel that any specific agency or individual can be blamed ter the apparent let down In the dry campaign, he is represented as being of the opinion that the laxity reported to him from many seetlen of the nation has been due In no small decree to the laek of proper and harmonious co-operation between the regularly constituted prohibition units, stata fcai well m rational. f On this ground he will appeal to the governors for eld. believing that the state units are ml vital and essential part of the .general machinery. r ' Because ; certain conditions, out of lotffVs conference probably will cfime no well defined plan of attack. The date of the meeting ' unexpectedly was shored ahead one month as many governors at the White Sulphur conference had previous engagements and were unable to attend today. Also several of the governor are to relinquish office shortly, and would not be In a," position to carry on any definite enforeroent program that might bo evalvad, Largely, then, tha meeting will be turned over to a atatraent of problems that actually have com U the attention of the Individual governors, from this It is hoped seme eommon ground will bo found by which tho reins can be fastened, and Illegal liquor traffio held In cheek. Later tha president will probabty sail otner state leaders hero for eonferencea, while at tha same time aending out warnings to federal enforcement chiefs that they must redouble efforts to avoid a further repetition of the prevent admittedly deplorable enforcement situation. minerIs saved from PfNCKKEYVHXfe, Hi., Dee, 18.

LYNCHING

LEGISLATIVE FIGHT WAXES BITTER NOW

McCrayKeepingScrupulously Out of The Spirited Fight . . . INDIANAPOLIS. Ind-, Dec. It. The contest among Republican members of tho Sever. ty-third benoraJ assembly over the speakership of the house of representatives Is said, according; to discussions in the State-house, to have reached a stage where promises of committee appointments are figuring in the p'.ans. No one ha a been found who would aitempt to pin responsibility on ary 0f the contestants now- in the field for promising important appointments to other members in return fcr s-jpport. but it Is said the scramble for important assignments haa given rise to the belief that some promises have been made, if not by the candidates themselves, then by their friends. TOO MAXr CANDIDATES. Those working in behalf of J. Glenn Harris, of Gary, and Asa J. Smith, of Indlanapclia. vigorously assert that neither Mr. FIttenger ncr Mr. Morgan has the inside traok, and that their candidates stand equally as good a. chance for the honor. Mr. Harris chief handicap, it Is said. Ilea In the faot that he has two other candidates from his own county, Jamee I. Day, of East Chicago, and Oscar A. Ahlgren. of Whiting. Tha race of Senator J&mes J. Ne'dl. of Whiting, for president pro tern, of the senate. alo is hampering Mr. Harris' chances. It is said, for the legislator are not anxloua to see the two most important positions in tn assembly go to Lake county men. GOVEKSOR HOLD ALOOF. Although, as far as can be learned Governor MoCray is keeping scrupulously aloff from the contest, those Interested in the fight profess to see the hand of the administration and the Republican stata organisation taking definite shape. . An evident attempt la being made by supporters of some of the contestants to show that L. A. Tittenger. of fc'elrna. is the favorite candilate of the administration and the organization. They base their surmose on the fact that among the chief sponsor of Mr. Plttenger's candidacy la L. A. Cartwright. of Portland, Eight district Republican chairman. Mr. Cartwright Is a member of the Republican state ' committee and is said to be a cloee friend of Lawrence E. Lyona. Republican state chairman and former canvpalgn manager for Governor McCray. Lyons was elevated to the chatrma-nahlp by the Senator James E. Wataon forces. This in dicates to tome observers that the organisation Js looking with friendly eyes on Mr, Plttinger's candidacy and that tha attitude of the administration la reflected through Mr. Cartwright's activities. OOJITERSWCE TI HELD.' Mr. Cartwright today conferred with Leo K, Fesler, Marlon county auditor, and William E. Relley. Seventh district Republican chairman. In the courthouse. . It was said Mr; Plttlr.ger's candidacy was diaeuased and that Mr. Cartwright waa anxious to have Mr. Fesler and Mr, Reiley use their influence among the Marlon county legislative delegation in behalf of Mr. Plttenger. Although Mr. Cartwright Uvea In Portland, he is connected with the Midwest Crushed Stone Quarries Ccmpany. with offices In the Terminal building In Indianapolis and spends much of his time in this city. Friends of Mr. Pittenger and of Raymond C, Morgan, of Kinghtstowri, are counting on them to receive their chief support from the farmer element in the house, Both Mr. Plttinger and Mr .Morgan are farmers. Others point out, however, that twenty-seven votes are necessary for a choice, and that only twenty-one Republican farmers are In the house. If two contestants divMe the agriculture vote, as some expert, it may serve to bring about the lection of another man. jonnor uir mil it COULD GET FRONT SEAT?

Th puisla was solved when Anton reached the police station and in the courtroom unwrapped the better half of a still with coil and containers complete. While unwrapping the yards and yards of newspaper with which Anton had disguised his burden, someone made the remark that "Anton brings a present for the judge." Tfcfn Anton was arraigned a charge of v. 1. 1. Police had raided his place, found only a portion of the still, and ordered him to locate and bring the rest to the station.
