TWO ELIGIBLE FOR HARDING AS SECRETARY Newspapermen Take it for Granted that George Christian Will Be Selected Richard W. Child in Line. BOTH BADLY NEEDED
BY MARK SIM.IVAN' WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 27. If Senator Harding has decided who is to be his private secretary, that decision remains locked in his own mind. The probability is he has not made the decision, although one or two circumstances have pressed the necessity for an early decision. There is even greater necessity for early decision on this point and less reason for deferring decision than in regard to most of the cabinet office?. As a matter of fact, several of the future members of the cabinet already know they are to be appointed and are preparing for the change in their personal affairs. But there U no sign of any such crystal ization of intention as regards the office of private secretary. Like Christian. Most of the newspapermen take it. for granted that the present secretary. George Christian, will be selected, but evidence of this is lacking to a degree that has significance. Most of the newspapermen, and many of Senator Harding's' frUnds as well, who have become familiar with Mr. Christian like him and hope he will continue in p relation of intamcy with Senator Harding. The last three Presidents. Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt, nil took into the White House the same private secretary who had already s?rved thm. In two of the cases. Tumulty with Wilson, and Loeb with Roosevelt, this turned "out well. In Taft's case the result was less successful, and two changes were mde before the four years ened. A President-elect, is us ually nrone to keen the secretary who J through long attachment, so to speak, is lingers and nmmbs to him. Child Eligible. Other than Mr. Christian, the man most commonly surmised for private secretary is Richard -Washburn Child. Persons who visited Marion last summer for any length of time and observrd the relation between Harding and Child felt confident and slill feel confdent that Harding will want to have Child in sonie. position wlier his ability will be at the President's service in m intimate way. For the rather specialized 1ob of private secretary. Child would riot seem to be an especially close fit. The necessities of the 1oV would overlan on one side :nd Child's talents would overlap on the other. Child Out of Place. Th" personal arouaintance with po'I-
ticians, the handshaking and the sift-jinK ing of visitors, which is a large part ;f a secretary s job, and which, if well
done, contributes much toward an administration's success, in one way could seem to be not the best use of talents such as Child has. Child i? a lawver. journalist, and iiovclit. who in the course of his career has learned to know not merely America but Europe and Asia as weli. His talent and experience were of obious service to Harding in matters of judgment and policy last summer, and I would not be less so in the future. Harding really needs both Child and Christian, if ihere were any way to manage it. A third man who has been mentioned as a possihle secretary to the President, is Howard Mannington of Ohio.

Session Brief. Yesterday's session was brief, and it was followed by a private conference between Premiers Briand and Lloyd George, and later the British leader had a long conversation with the foreign minister and finance minister of Belgium. Whether these talks had served to clear the way to a decision, however, was not indicated early today. France was understood to stand firmly on the provisions ot the treaty of Versailles, which placed the whole subject of German indemnities in the hands of the allied reparations commission. Adheres to Agreement Great Britain, on the other hand, adhered to the agreement reached last year at Bolougne, by which it was stipulated Germany should pay annually an average of 6,000,000 would overcome objections encounterDEMOCRATS HAMPER EMERGENCY TARIFF (Bv Associated Tress) WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. With senate debate on the Fordney emergency tariff bill having progressed no further than to raise the question of whether a filibuster is or is not against the measure. Democrat opponents today had indicated no disposition to i modify their announced intention of adequately discussing the bill when the senate convened. The question of whether the bill is encountering a filibuster was developed sharply on the floor yesterday when Senator Penrose in charge of the bill presented a proposal for a vote next Tuesday, announcing that he did so to "test the faith of certain gentlemen." Senator Underwood, of Alabama, minority leader, on whose objection the proposal was defeated, declared with other Democratic leaders a willingness to vote on the measure "after proper and legitimate debate " They charged that the Republicans did not expect the bill to pass and sought to place the blame on Democratic opponents.

Public hearing on a bill to abolish the state public service commission, Thursday night, Jan. 27, Is expected to attract speakers from, all parts of the state. Chester A. Davis, chairman of Judiciaray A committee of the lower house before which the hearing will be held, has announced that plenty of time will be allowed for discussion. "We intend to go to the bottom of this controversy," said Representative Davis. "Two hours will be allowed for speeches on both sides if they so desire." The hearing was originally set for Tuesday evening but was postponed on request of interested persons in other cities who desired time in which to prepare for appearance. Restores Jurisdiction. The bill under consideration by the house committee would abolish the public service commission, re-estab-lish the old railroad commission and restore to towns and cities jurisdic-! tion over local utilities. j Foes of the present commission system have been unceasingly active since, an attempt at abolishing the commission failed at the last regular session. Resentment against rate increases in various cities and towns in responsible for vthe movement for abolishment, it is said. j Administration leaders have notbeen outspoken on the abolishment, measure but it is understood that Governor McCray favors continuance of the centralized control over utilities. 1 Present Arguments. Opponents of the commission base their arguments on the premise that the commission had granted rate in-, creases to nearly all the utilities in ! the state in the last four years. Centralization of rate jurisdiction, theyl contend, has simplified matters great-' ly for utilities operators. It is said ! that it is not difficult for an operator! through experts and attorneys to mis- j lead commissioners who are no f amil- ' iar with local conditions, service ren-j dered and such matters. City coun-, cils, they say, are in better position to deal with utilities. Supporters of the commission system offer the defense that rate increases through the high price period have been necessary to save many utilities from financial ruin and to enable them to give the service needed. The commission composed of utilities experts, they say. is better able to deal intelligently with all public service concerns than local authorities.
PUBLIC MYSTIFIED CONCERNING SHOCK FELT IN NEW JERSEY
(Ey Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27 The public was still mystified early today concerning the shock that may have been caused by an earthquake which was felt last night in central and southern ; New Jersey and in eastern Pennsylvania. While reports continued to be received of foundations of houses loosened and pictures knocked from walls. no loss of life or injury to person had j been heard of this morning. t The shock was distinctly felt in J Philadelphia, though it appeared not to have been noticed at any point) south of Walnut street. GuaMl de-; clared that the city hall building shook, and tremors were distinctly felt in other buildings. Felt in Trenton The earthquake, if such It was, ex-, tended as far north in New Jersey as '; Trenton and as far east as Mount' Holly. Foundations of houses were damaged in Haddon Heights, N. J., and many other New Jersey towns reported having felt it. j Along the main line of the Pennsyl-J vania railroad the occurrence caused j much excitement, particularly at Mar-; Ion, where pictures were knocked from the walls of the Marion Community house. Not Explosion The theory that the disturbance had' been caused by an explosion of great force was abandoned in most quarters last night after newspaper men had, searched in every direction in vain. ! It was pointed out that its effect had been so widespread that it was im-. possible to attribute it to an explo-j sion. J Nevertheless scientists at Swarth-' more college maintained that it could , not have been caused by a tremor, as. their delicately adjusted instruments could not have failed to register such a disturbance. They insisted that an npiiun uu;u ine feifiuugriipu t would not register, no matter how great its force, must have been the cause. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.

In pursuance or his determination lo get a complete rest during his house boat cruise down the coast, Harding not only turned down invitations to participate in a formal welcome, but made his plans to keep out of sight, as much as possible during his call here. Despite the fact that the hour of his arrival was kept confidential, a large gallery gathered at the links to watch his golf match and another crowd lingered from early morning about the pier where it was reported he would disembark from the Victoria. For luncheon the president accepted an invitation to be the guest of Henry P. Fletcher, of Pennsylvania, who is a member of the house boat party. Leaving here late in the afternoon, the Victoria was expected to tie up for the night a short distance to the south and to proceed tomorrow morning for Miami.

"Almost all of the advantages of a large city without any of the large city drawbacks," was given by a lady at Ninth and Main street a3 her reason for liking Richmond. "For instance," she said, "if you want to take a country walk after work in the afternoon, you can go to Glen Miller park and be in the midst of a woodland, or you can get into the Clear Creek country within 20 minutes of Eighth and Main street. In fact any place in town you are within 10 to 30 minutes walk of the heart of nature. This is one reason why many people like Richmond."

illicit relations, and neglect are the contributory cause. The work of the bureau is to remove these either by moral suasion or resort to law. Many people have the idea that help should be given and no questions asked. Miss Clark said. This develops a tendency to shiftlessness on the part of those responsible, it was pointed out. It is not a hard task to give a Iran something of material service that will relieve his immediate, distress, but to give him something that will nave a wholesome and permanent effect, which, in turn, will benefit the entire community, is no easy task, the leaders say.
