Kansas Senator oaid to be
Best Qualified for the Task - Kenyon Wearied of Opposing Colleagues, Belief. PLACE ISlNPLEASANT
By MARK StUIVAX WASHINGTON. Feb. 16. The departure of Senator Kenyon somewhat leaves the farm bloc worse off for leadership. It is true Senator Kenyon was not a leader in the usual sense. The farm bloc hung not upon his personality, but upon economic conditions in the home states of the individual . n.enibers. Nevertheless it was Senator Kenyon who presided at their meetings and who provided a focus for them in the alignment against the regular Republican organization. There are others remaining in the farm bloc who are as able as Kenyon,
but not many others who command as much confidence as Kenyon did. There are several members of it more radical than Kenyon, but none who inspire so much dependence on
his Judgment.

Is a disagreeable task in a double sense, and to carry it through involves willingness both to be disagreeable yourself and to endure disagrecablel ess from others.
It is commonly believed that one of.
the reasons for Senator Kenyon s willingness to quit lay in the fact that he was tired of being disagreeable. Kenyon is a friendly and fairly gregarious person, and the long strain of standing out against the regular party leaders got on his nerves. The leader of an insurgent movement is made aware every minute of every day in a thousand subtle way:? lhat. h" has outlawed himself and that he is not a part of his party fraternity.

ROLL GALL IS HELD UP
fBy Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 16 With its main business of framing the union miners' wage policy untouched, tho convention of the United Mine Workers today marked time, in the settlement of whether it would consider the nppeal of Alexander Howat end other expelled Kansas miners for reinstatement in the union. The roll call of delegates on th' Kansas case was delayed awaiting final decision as to who was entitled to vote, and p.fter considering a half score of contests, the convention adjourned until tomorrow. Convention work served only to clear the way for the vote, the casting of which was delayed until roll calls had been printed and distributed.
Lose Final Effort. A final effort to win delegate seats for expelled followers of Howat via lost today in its prelimiflary stage, it being held that the convention beginning work Tuesday, had sealed the delegates from the provisional unions set up in Kansas after the expulsion of Howat. Harry Fishwick, of Illinois, protested that the Kansas delegates from the provisional unions had not been seat
ed, but was told ' by International President Lewis that he was in error, 1
and the president's ruling was accepted finally by Fishwick. Fighting the expulsion order of the administration officers, Howatt scored a partial victory when administration leaders were forced to demand the roll call, which was to decide whether the expulsion order w-ould stand or be submitted to the convention for review.

On the Hitchcock resolution which had the support of Republicans reluctant to accept the four power

Mr. NlIitchcock however, has declared that the American delegates' report contained virtually nothing on the negotiation of this treaty. This was said by administration leaders to be because practically all of the negotiations were oral and few minutes or notes were kept of the conversations.

INVESTIGATE FAKE WIRES TO HARDING ENDORSING NEGRO
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 16. The sending of many fake e!ecranis and letters to President Harding from Pennsylvania has caused W. Harry Baker, secretary of the Republican state committee to seek an investigation by the federal district attorney. Mr. Baker revealed today that fraudulent telegrams had been sent to the president, purporting to endorse the candidacy of J. C. Overton, negro head waiter at a West Phila

istrar of the United States treasury.
Mrs. George Wharton Pepper, wife cf
j Senator Pepper, Mrs. John Wanamaki er, third, Mrs. Baker and others.
Baker said that none of the persons whose names were signed to the telegrams knew anything about them. Mrs. Wanamaker said she had received a letter from George S. Christain, secretary to President Harding, in which he acknowledged the receipt of an endorsement from her for Overton, and also a joint telegram from her, Mrs. Pepper and Mrs. Charles S. Brown, Of Philadelphia endorsing the negro. Mrs. Baker recalled that recently similar telegrams were sent to the president and Senator Pepper, asking that the appointment of a state prohibition director be deferred.

There are mon who enjoy this kind of rebellion and conspicuous standing out from the crowd, but Kenyon had moods when he didn't like it. and it was Tn these moods that he longed for the peace and security of a federal Judgeship. Moreover. Senator Kenyon was friendly with his colleague, the senior senator from Iowa. Cummins. nd to Kenyon it was unpleasant to h continually voting on the other
aide from Cummins. By implication Kenyon was constantly saying in effect that Cummins was wrong. Cummtns and Kenvon could not both be rts-ht. To what extent President Harding and the regular Republican organization hoped to profit or may profit by Kenyon's retirement, remains to be seen. Probably not much. If there was any expectation that by depriving the farm bloc of its leadership it would be possible to destroy or greatly weaken the bloc, that expectation will probably be defeated. Benefit Is Gone. The public interested in Kenyon's retirement, which has made it almost a nation wide vissue. has robbed the act of most of its possible benefit to the regular Republican organization. Just how much this motive may have figured with President Harding no one can tell. It is hardly to be believed that Harding made Kenyon a federal judge out of love and affection solely. Harding does not have love and affection for men who flout their party organization as Kenyon did. Harding seems to be a man who
feels personally hurt by lack cf party! loyalty. He had that point of view long before he was president, back in the days of the progressive party. On the other hand, it is certain that

SEVERE EARTHQUAKE
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16. Creation of an international high court or equity with jurisdiction over commercial matters of every nation in the two Americas was advocated here todav bv John Hays Hammond, who is
in San Francisco on a visit. Mr. Hammond said he planned to go to Washington next month to urge the support in behalf of the court Such an institution, Mr. Hammond said, is solely needed in the development of relations between the countries of North and South America, He declared that the nations of South America already had registered their approval of the idea and asked that the Pan-American congress formally indorse the plan.
"I believe, the president wrote, "the American people will accept the levy of a general sales tax to meet the proposed bonus payments and we should contribute thereby no added difficulties to the problems of re-adjustment. If congress will not adopt such a plan, it would be wise to let the legislation go over until there is a situation which will justify the large outlay." Sees Relief Ahead. Declaring that the government has under consideration the disposition cf surplus war properties, and other transactions, -which -would bring great relief to the treasury, the president said it would be wise to let the legislation go over if congress did not deem it advisable to adopt the Bales tax.
The president's letter was regarded generally at the capital as leaving the bonus situation even more complicated than before. Senate and house rub-committee's were to meet late in the day to receive and consider the White House communication. When the sales tax was discussed in the last meeting last week, it was understood that senators were informed that less than 100 Republicans votes in the house could be mustered for a sales tax method of financing the adjusted compensation. Such a tax had been considered by house leaders, as a possibility, but virtually has been discarded. Study Bills. Meanwhile house leaders were giving close study today to the possibil
ity of providing the necessary funds by slashing some of the annual appropriation bills. Although not prepared, without careful study of the subject to estimate how much of the bonus expense might be financed from this direction it was indicated that the naval bill particularly and also the army supply meaesure woud be carefully examined to determine what savings might be diverted for this purpose.
did not invent the Idea of offering a federal Judgeship Jo Kenyon in order to get him out of the senate. Kenyon has longer for a federal judgship for years. At least he had moods Tvhen he wanted it. Most public men regard it is an odd point of view. Generally speaking, a senatorship is regarded as much more desirable than a circuit Judgeship. There have been men who left the senate to take a seat on the supreme court bench, hut none that the politicians remember who left the senate to take a minor Judeeshln like Kenyon's.
