OFFICIALS EXPECT RUSH OF CHRISTMAS IMMIGRANTS. Many Who Want to Spend Holiday With Relatives "Hero May Be Disappointed. NEW YORK, Dec 21. Immigration officials at Ellis island are preparing for the greatest Christmas rush of immigrants In the history of this port. Special plans have been made . to expedite the movement of between 20,000 and 30,000 newcomers during . the few days preceding the holiday. Thousands of immigrants timed their departure from Europe so that they might epend Christmas with rel atives in this country and the lmmi . a-ration authorities have speeded up '' the inspection machinery to make T this possible. Despite the extra efforts, officials !, say thousands will be disappointed. I Christmas day is expected to find Ellis island overflowing with lmmi ' grants and several ships awaiting to unload their human freight. Recently immigrants have been arriving at the rate of more than 2000 daily, and more than 20.000 have been in transit ' on the ocean at one time. Welfare organizations have offered f their co-operation to the island offi Z cials to bring a bit of holiday .cheer to the newcomers who may be there i Christmas day. With the high tide of incoming Eu ropeans there has also been a large emigration from this port' during the past month. The outgoing are mostly I persons who were returning to Eu- . rope tor a visit ana to pass tne nou days with the "old folks." A. small proportion announced their intention of remaining abroad, using their sav J ings in the upbuilding of business -.. uncer new conditions. HARDING HAS 7,507,677 PLURALITY IN TOTAL U. S. VOTE.

CHAMBERLAIN SPURNS JOB (Continued From First Page.) and distinguished himself as consider ably more than an average states man. It was understood that he has nc hankering for the interior Job be cause he has not yet begun serving his term as governor of Montana, to which he was elected last month; bur it is a notable fact that mention ol him for chief of the interior depart ment was taken more seriously here than anyone else so far put forward for the Job. Senator Chamberlain's name has bobbed up in several of the confer ences at Marion, it was learned, and only last Saturday was considered in connection with filling the post of secretary of war. One republican senator told the president-elect that Chamberlain's appointment would be pleasing to the entire country and especially to the veterans of the late war. At the outst of the Harding con' ferences. Senator Chamberlain was mentioned for the shipping board, and it was made plain that he could go on the board If he desired. This movement went bo far that Senator Chamberfain was approached on the subject. That was while Hard tng was here two weeks ago. Senator Chamberlain replied that he could not consider that appointment because he had indorsed Joseph N. Teal for the place. When asked as to his attitude in event Mr. Teal failed of confirm tion, he said he could not discuss it at all. "I am for Joe Teal," was his re sponse. Senator Poindexter Is in Marion to day discussing with the president elect a number of matters in which the west is especially interested. Example of Italian Government in Paying; Royal Tribute to ' Monarch Is Followed. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Rear Ad mlral Philip Andrews, commanding American forces in the Adriatic, In formed the navy department today that he was following the" example of the Italian government in paying royal honors to King Constantlne of Greece when the monarch arrived at Venice, on December 14. When King Constantine boarded a Greek cruiser the royal Greek stand' ard was displayed on that vessel, Ad miral Andrews' report said, and the Italian admiral dressed ship and paid royal honors. The American destroyer Southard, on which Admiral Andrews was flying" his flag, did the same. The Italian admiral then left his flagship to call on Constantine and Admiral Andrews followed suit, as is naval custm, the report added, but the Southard did not fire a royal salute as did Italian shore batteries. It was explained at the navy de partment that regulations require that royal salutes shall only be fired for reigning monarchs of countries the United States has formally recog nized, and that Admiral Andrews was correct in following the example of the Italian government in paying the regular naval honors due a member of a royal house, but withholding the salute.

PREMIER ASKED TO REMAIN" Constantine Defers Acceptance of j Cabinet's Resignation. ATHENS, Dec. 21. Premier Rhallis yesterday tendered to King Constan tine the resignation of the Greek cabi net, but was requested to remain in office until parliament begins its ses. sion. During his visit to the palace M. Rhallis encountered Princess Cathr arlne, youngest daughter of Constan tine. "What have you brought me from abroad?" he asked the princess. "Papa," was her laconic reply. Earl Granville, the British minister, visited Premier Rhallis last night and said he would remain in Athens but would not come into direct contact with Constantine. The premier stated that if Constantine goes soon to Smyrna it will be for a trip of inspec tion and will have no political significance. Inside. Information Enables Roads to. Switch' Shipments and Make Dearth Acute. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. Charges that government officials Joined in coal profiteering during the period of shortage last summer were made by George H. Cushing, managing director of the American Wholesale Coal association, testifying under path today before a senate investigat ing committee. In an executive session the com mittee, according to Senator Calder, republican of New York, its chairman, was furnished by Mr. Cushing with the name of one man said to have been a principal in an operation by which a group of men in government service obtained 450,000 tons of coal, which they sold later at a profit of $600,000. Railroad officials and one army officer also participated in the profit-making, Mr. Cushing was said by Chairman Calder to have charged. Government Causes Panic' This phase of Mr. Cushlng's testi mony before the committee over shadowed the rest of his (statement, which was to the effect that the coal shortage last summer was due to panic' and largely caused by state ments -tf the interstate commerce commission, the geological survey. the railroad administration and the senate interstate commerce commit tee telling the consuming public about a coal shortage this winter. J. A. D. Morrow, vice-president of the National Coal association, an or ganization of operators, the office records of which were examined last week by the senate committee, took the stand late in the day and began a denial of the "panic" theory ad vanced by Cushing to explain the shortage. Mr. Morrow was excused until to morrow, when the committee took Mr. Cushing into executive session Ring Haa Inside Track. Chairman Calder later recounted a part of Mr. Cushlng's statement, say. ing that no names would be made public until investigation of the charges was pompleted. ""Certain of ficials, it was said, Cushing testified, were able to obtain information as to communities where shortage condi tions were' particularly feared and possessed Information as to the effect of priority orders obtained on the information for furnishing coal. cars. These officials were also said to have information as to coal in transit. and to have been able to obtain supplies which could be diverted to more lucrative markets. One "pool" mentioned by Cushing, Senator Calder said, involved 460,000 tons, while other operations;-were said to have been intimated. The government oniciai named by Cushing was said by the witness to have resigned some tlmo ago. Mr: Cushing in the open session said that railroad officials had Joined in the nrofitmaktng by "diverting shipments going over their own rails to new destinations," but refused to erive names except in confidence, "be cause my muckraking days are over." Situation la Created. On the subject of the shortage last ummer. the witness . said it had re leased the worst elements in human nature." The statements of public officials of impending fuel famine this win ter,".he said, "didn't cause the high prices, but gave the opportunity for them." As to the condtion today, he con tended that anybody can buy coal almost at his own price and re marked that "if the railroads hold up and there isn't any resumption " of world war, Americans can forget thej have a coal problem for 25 years. Production would exceed all known records, he said, if maintained at tht present rate until April 1, when ths coal year ends. Mr. Morrow told the committer there was an "actual shortage of 20, 000,000 tons in production last spring. arising from the coal strike of 1919 and the strikes on: the railroads." Senator Edge, republican. New Jer sey, proceeded to question the asser tion, but it was left for final settle ment tomorrow. .
