HARDING WILL DEMAND DRY LAWS OBEYED Will Test , Opinion by Enforcement

WASHINGTON, Dec 8. President Harding, in his annual message delivered today to congress in person, deals with nearly a score of subjects, chief among them prohibition, farm credits, the transportation problem, child labor 'and Immigration. Xl The executive announces his purpose to invite the governors of the states and territories to an early conference with tho federal executive authorities , with a view to adopting definite policies of national and state co-operation in administering the prohibition laws. He says the day is unlikely to come when the prohibition act will be repealed ' and that the nation should adopt its course accordingly. President W Harding tells congress that if the statutory provisions for prohibition enforcement are contrary to deliberate public opinion, which he does not beJieve, the rigorous and literal enforcement will concentrate public attention on any requisite modification. To Save Humiliation. "Such a course," he adds, "conforms with the law and saves the humiliation of the government and the humiliation of our people before the world and challenges tho destructive forces engaged in widespread violation, official corruption and Individual demoralization." -. With regard to the transportation problem, Mr. Harding proposes that the railroad labor board be abolished with the substitution of a labor division in the interstate commerce commission with ample power to require Its ruling to be accepted by both parties to aid in disputed questions. The executive also proposes that the law require the carriers and their employes to Institute means and methods to negotiate between themselves their constantly arising differences, limiting appeals to the government body, to disputes of such character as are likely to affect the public welfare. Urges Co-ordination Co-ordination of all transportation facilities is urged1 by the president. , - These would include not k only inland waterways, but motor truck transportation as well. He inveighed against the system of paralleling the railroads with truck roads that drawing freight from steamline instead of making the motor tnnk a feeder for them. As to the carriers themselves, Mr. Harding suggests as ways of increased economy and afficiency there by a 01 merger of lines into systems interchange of freight cars, the consolidation -of facilities and the economic use of terminals. He declares that the managers of the line are without the inter-carriera cooperative relationship, "so highly essential to the bet and most economical operation," adding that they could not function in

harmony when the recent strike threatened the paralysis of al'lvaihtfay transportation. Urges Farm Credits More extended credit for the farmers is strongly urged by the executive who declares that the very proof of helpfulness already given is the strongest argument for the permanent establishment of widened' credits. He says the farm loan bureau may well have its powers enlarged to provide ample farm production credits, as well as enlarged land credits.

Mme. Gadski to Sing

Despite Opposition of American Legion (By Associated Press) OAKLAND, Calif.. Dec. 8. Madame Johanna Gadski, noted singer has an nounced she will sing In Los Angeles on Dec. 11, despite protests of the American Legion there. Madame Gadski declared she would begin action for damages against persons or publications spreading a false story as to the manner in which she received news of the sinking of the Lusitania. The singer said she held a statement from the department of justice show ing her status while residing in America never had been questioned by the autnoriues. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 8.

UNLIMITED DEBATE IN SENATE OPPOSED BY SENATOR WATSON PALUDIl'M SEWS BUREAU WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. Senator James E. Watson of Indiana has announced that he will urge the calling of a special session of the senate after March 4 for the specific purpose of modifying the rule of unlimited de bate The senior Indiana senator be lieves that such action is necessary if the senate ever is to function properly The filibuster js made possible be cause or tne rule or unlimited deoate. and through this agency the senate majority elected to carry out the legislative, demands of the people is fre quently thwarted by the minority. Senator Watson is opposed to any "gag" rule as provided in a pending proposal for cloture by a bare majority. He favors restriction of debate by a substantial majority, something less than two-thirds majority, which is the present cloture rule of the" senate. However, he is against any application of cloture to the consideration of treaties. Not Expedient Now It would not be expedient during the present session of congress to attempt a modification of the rule of unlimited debate, Senator Watson believes. He anticipates that opponents of the antllynching bill and the ship subsidy bill would raise the cry that the proponents of those measures were attempting to ' railroad" them through the senate. A filibuster against changing the rule would very probably result. Senator "Watson, as Republican floo leader, is not blind to the fact that the senate is no longer held in esteem by the people. He believes this is not be. cause of the nersonnel of the senate. but because of its antiquated rule of unlimited debate, which frequently delays the enactment of important legis lation and occasionally defeats it. The rule, the modification of which the Indiana senator is seeking, is as old as the senate itself, but it did not bring forth the filibuster until a com paratively few years ago. During the earlier history of the country members of the senate did not violate the spirit of the rule. After a measure had been thoroughly debated the senators would cast their votes, Senator Watson says Senate is Ridiculed. , In recent years both Republicans and Democrats have resorted to fill busters, with the result, the Indiana senator says, that the procedure of the senate has been made a traversty and the senate an object of ridicule. President Wilson was the first exe cutive to make an insistent demand for a modification of the rule of un limited debate. This came when he de nounced the filibuster against the "armed merchantman" bill "by a little group of willful men. In March, 1917. To consider changing the rule he call ed an extra session of the senate. At this session the present rule of cloture by two-third3 majority was adopt ed. Senator Watson asserts that this rule has not worked out satisfactorily because of the excessive majority re quired. Oscar E. Bland, who represents the second Indiana district in coneress and was defeated for re-election at. thf rpcent election, is a candidate for ap pointment a3 one of the members of th United States customs court of an. peals. His candidacy has been in - - i' dorsed Dy tne other members of the inaiana delegation. 800 GREET SUNDAY . ELDORADO, Ohio, Dec. 8.

Many of them, in fact, urged it long before LaFollette brought it up recently. So conservative an organization as the American Bar association has gone on record in favor of it. President Harding's hesitancy seems to lie in his belief that the present sys tem is a concrete advantage. The the ory is that the electorate may vote In haste and the country may be the better on occasions for a period of reflection between the casting of the vote and the assembling of the new con gress. But the proposal that the con gress elected in November should come together and go to work in January does not create much excitement among the regular Republicans gen erally. , Weather Objection. The chief objection brought forward is one of weather. The new proposal would cause the president, every four years to be inaugurated on the same day as the assembling of the new con gress. And January in Washington is a very unpleasant time for the parades and other features of a presidential inauguration. The Washington shopkeepers can be expected to do what they can in opposition. On several recent occasions when the March 4 inauguration has been embarrassed by bad weather, there have been proposals not to advance the date, but to postpone it until the milder month of May. Want Vote by States. Neither is there much excitement among the regular Republican leaders about the elimination of the archaic electoral college; That would be a per functory innovation, so long as the voting by States is retained. And even the progressive leaders want to retain voting by states. As to the proposals for farm credit, the regular Republicans already have drafted bills which go as far as any, except the most extreme radicals demand, in the direction of setting up institutions for farm credit, under the auspices, of the Federal government, and with the initial capital advanced from the federal treasury. It is in the matter of taxation, when it comes up, that there will be a real contrast of position between the conservatives W& radicals. -Copyright 1922, by the New Tork Evening Post, Inc. THREE UNMASKED MEN OBTAIN MAIL LOOT t (By Associated Press) ' ST. JOSEPH Mo., Dec. 8. Three unmasked men, armed with pistols and shotguns, held up two mail clerks at the Union station ' early today and escaped in a waiting automobile with cne package of registered and five packages of fir6t-class mail which had just been taken from the mail car of a Chicago, Burlington and Quincy pas senger train enroute from Kansas City to OmahaJ ' No estimate of the value of the loot could be obtained early today.

TURKS' PLAN

PROVIDES FOR OPENJTRAITS Ask Warships Limited -Proposal Pleases (By Associated Press) i LAUSANNE. Dec 8. Turkey's pro posal for regulation of the straftP of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus1 presented to the Near East conference today were heard with saiHsfaiction by the representatives of the allied powers and the United States, as they were found not to contain any contention that the straits ehouldl be closed to foreign, warships aa Russia had demanded. Turkey, aa her ptan -was presented by Ismet Pasha, asked that warships passing through the ' strtaata to tho Black sea should! be limited in number so as not to constitute a danger, the suggestion toeing made that they be confined1 to the lighter class of vessels for the protection! ot international comttnerce. Asks Guarantee Ismet asked further that warships be prohibitedi from lingering In the Blaick eea ana insisted upon strong'. guarantees against surprise attacks1 from land or sea, against the Straits, the Sea ot Marmwo and: (Constantinople, - : He insisted that Turkey Khould be authorized to build1 fortifications for the defense ot Constantinople Bind the straitst Spokesmen for the entente expressed the opinion after the session that the Turkish and allied plans could! be harmonized. Russia stood absolutely alone today in opposing thai allied! plan aa Rou mania, Greece, Ser bia and Bulgaria rallied: to its support. Allies Against Russia. The visit of Premier Mussolini here yesterday gave notice that the entente is solidly united aainst the Russian position, and gave Ismet as much information as to Europe's attitude toward the Dardanelles question aa he could hope to obtain. Many Turkish leaders doubting the permanency of the Bolshevik regime in Russia, have counseled against too close co-operation with the soviet delegation at the expense of cordial r lations with the naval powers. The tenacity with which Foreign Minister Tchitcherin has held to his demand that Turkey be given absolute control of the straits, made it seem probable that Russia would approve no other program and that Russia and Turkey might therefore break on the Dardanelles issue. The Turks do not want to be forced to build a navy and are eager to obtain the aid of European powers in reconstructing their country. HAMMER SLAYER'S HIDING PLAGE BAFFLES CALIFORNIA OFFICERS (By Associated Press)' IXDS ANGELES, Dec 8.

Charles W. Fricke, deputy district attorney, who assisted in Mrs. Phillips " prosecution, stated the California penal code classified a Jail break as a misdemeanor and fixed punishment for it ' at six months imprisonment in the county Jail, a fine of $500 or both.
