i. The bill was denounced In the house
today as "special class legislation" by

i ELLIS ISLAND IS BUSY
.? 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.
The secretary of state of each state In the- nnlon was asked by
the New York World to telegraph the official vote of his state for.
the highest elector on each presidential ticket. This was supple
mented by dispatches to the World correspondents at the stats cap
- itals, and the result is given below, the secretaries responding
with the returns as received by them. While minor changes may be
made in some states, the figures here given are the best now ob
tainable. Some of the state had no socialist ticket, fewer had prohibi
tion ticket and fewer still a farmer-labor ticket. The vote for the
candidates is approximately correct, although New York state
has not declared its official totals, the soldiers' vote not having
been returned.

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.

ATHENS, Dec. 21. Premier Rhallis
yesterday tendered to King Constan

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,

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

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. .
