HARDING
TO DESERT
T
President-Elect to Take Train
to St. Augustine.
CRAFT IS STILL STRANDED
Party After Day's Ontlngr at Sea
Breeze and Daytona Has Diffi
culty Returning to Vessel.
DAYTONA. Fla.. Feb. g. After a
tar's outing in Sea Breese and Day
ton a. President-elect Harding: re
turned to bis stranded houseboat Tic
- toria in Mosauito lagoon tonight to
pack his bag- and barrage and to bid
farewell to the ship.
He expects to come ashore tomor
row and ro to St. Augustine by train.
The president-elect's return to the
houseboat Involved many difficulties,
the party threading a narrow Jungle
trail and picking a precarious way
along a rickety pier to board the
launch that took them out to the
Victoria, The. trip furnished a com-I
Panlon piece to Mr. Harding's expert
ence last November, when he at
tempted to leave point Isabel. Tex
after similar bad luck had broken up
his vacation.
Eager Hoiti Take Charge.
In Sea Breeze eager hosts took
charge of Hr. Harding's entertain
menu From the golf links they gatn
ered him in for a luncheon party, an
then they undertook to pilot him
down the river bank until they estab
lished liaison with the secret service
expedition.
Distributing the party In automo
biles, they started southward alon
the Dixie highway. At New Smyrn
they pulled up to make inquiry about
the Victoria, parking their cars for
IS minutes In a cluster that blocked
the streets and aroused the ire
tourists, truck drivers and pedes
trians.
South of New Smyrna the entour
are made another stoD when it met
secret service car that had come up
from Mosauito lagoon to pilot them.
Toward the end of the drive the road
became only a train In which palm
and palmetto leaves scratched tn
varnish from the automobiles and the
wheels mired to the axles.
Party Walks 500 Yards.
When further progress by motor
was impossible, the party walked 600
yards and were at the pier in full
view of the Victoria as she lay two
miles offshore. The tug osceola, sen
from Daytona to release the house
boat, lay idle beside her, all thought
of pulling her off before high tide to
morrow having been abandoned. The
next problem of the party was to at
tract attention, for -Jeaky rowDoai
was the oniy conveyance available.
Mr. Harding took the lead, treading
far out on the abandoned pier on tim
bers that creaked threateningly. He
waved a white handkerchief and
shouted. Other members of the party
joined in the noise and a secret serv
ice man fired a salvo with his pistol.
A flock of mudbens answered
mockingly, but the decks of the
houseboat remained as peaceful
the Styx. After a half hoar's futile
effort the party dispatched a secret
service man in the antiquated row
boat that eventually brought results
and at nightfall the little launch
chugged out to the rescue.
Hardlsg Goes to Victoria. .
Mr. Harding and several . others
went to the Victoria intending to
bring some baggage ashore, and pass
the night in Daytona, but they re
versed their plans and when they
came back it was to say goodbye to
their companions.
Most of the party had grouped
themselves on the steps of a long
deserted cottage near the pier. Mr.
Harding picked a deliberate way
along the shaking pier in the gather
ing gloom. Although his footing
gave way once or twice he completed
the trip In safety and just as Mos
quito lagoon began to demonstrate
unmistakably why t was so named,
the party disbanded, sending the
strains of "The End of a Perfect
Day" and "Good Night, Ladies," float
ing out across the waters.

because, the natloaal woman's party
charges In a statement tonight, "of
a strong anti-suffrage feeling" in
the committee.
"Innumerable ' excuses are being

declared, "such as that there are now
enough statues in the Capitol, a fact
not previously discovered, or there
should be no statues, or that all
statues before going into the Capitol

Brinton charged that funds of the

Attorney Sullivan, for the house

"Do you want this committee to

Bank of North Dakota?" Sullivan
asked.
"No. not in the Bank of North Da
kota." Brinton replied. "The funds
were taken from the Bank of North
Dakota to the private bank at Fargo
and the misappropriation took place
there."
Brinton said the Fargo bank "has
some 1450,000 of public funds and I

Is under fire.
The session opened with Mr. Cupper
declaring that none of the real irrl
gatlonists of Oregon were behind th
bills and that none of the irrigation
districts in the counties represented
by Burdick or Gallagher want the
bills.
Discrimination la Denied,
He said that the proponents of the
bills first accused him of being too
conservative as a state engineer and
now they i.y he is. too liberal. Mr.
Cupper declared that there has been
no discrimination against anyone
wishing- to enter the field In Oregon
and anyone has been welcomed who
offered a willingness to finance dis
tricts.
"The meat of the whole thing,
charged Mr, CupPer, "is that someone
wants to"" exclude California capital
from the state. It is not a fight di
rected against me personally. Messrs.
Burdick and Gallagher are friends of
mine, and are fighting for something
they want."
Discussing projects Engineer Cup
per said the Warren Construction
company undertook the financing of
the Teel project and fell down; that
the company undertook the Suttle
Lake and failed, and undertook to
finance the Silver lake Project "with
the cost-plus contract the same as
the press has roasted me for ap
proving."
Laws Declared Unworkable.
Mr. Cupper contended that the leg.
Islation in question, if enacted, will
be absolutely unworkable; that mak
ing a state englner a consulting en.
giner of 60 projects is an impossible
task. The measure is vicious, he said.
and will set Irrigation district pro
grammes back for years.
With a great deal of forceful
personality. Mr. Schneelock took the
floor and offered to accept respon
sibility for disposing of almost all
of the irrigation securities in the
state. ' He claimed part authorship
in some of the Irrigation legislation
of Oregon. He said he peddled irri
gation securities, because they are
not sold, but peddled.
Mr. Schneelock went on to show
that a consulting engineer on 60
projects was out of the question, that
the best engineers in the country
would not handle more than four and
that no engineer with five years' ex
perience on construction is worth a
snap of the fingers for consultation
purposes.
Coat-Pins Plan Defended.
As for financing projects, he
explained the modus operandi and
insisted that the cost-plus system is
perfectly legitimate. If this proposed
legislation goes through, he warned.
h will never do any more financing
in this state. He asked if Gallagher's
resolution for an investigation would
go through the house and the author
assured him it would.
In the event that the investigation
is made, Schneelock predicted that
these bills will fail. Mr. Burdick ob
served that when the investigation Is
made, if it were thorough, he would
be quite willing to abide by the de-

Brotherhood Members Appear Be
fore Legislature for Regula
tion of Auto Lines.
STATE HOUSE. Salem, Or.. Feb. 8.
(Special.) Members of the railroad
Brotherhoods propose to wage a bit
ter fight against what they declare
to be forced unemroloyiment by Jitney
competition. This wa clearly demon
strated tonight In tne hearing on the
moser diu wnicn proposes to place
automobile bus companies under the
regulation of the public service commission.
E. N. Tibbetts. of the Brothprhond
of Locomotive Engineers, pointed to
what he declared to be ruinous com
petition by jitneys, and reducing
employment of railroad trainmen and
engineers. Ho argued that if the
cream of the business in settled por
tions of the state is to be absorbed
by the jitneya there would be no
further development In portions
which are not now served with rail
way transportation. ,
Other railroad employes and at
torneys argued that the farm prod
ucts would be forced to pay higher
rates and commuters must not re
ceive special concessions Jf the jit
ney competition was permitted to
make further inroads Into the earn-
ngs of transportation companies
They declared that whrle the jitneys
should be permitted to- operate, they
should be subjected to the same regu-
atlons as railroads.
In arguing the side of the jitney
owners, Attorney Moulton declared
nat juBt as ice steam roads super
seded the horse-drawn stages and
the electric trains displaced the
steam traine, the motor-driven ve
hicles would take the place of th
railroads and that if any legislature
attempted to Interfere it would go
own to political death at the hands
f the Automobile Dealers' associa-
lon, the hotel men, the bua drivers
nd the public
Several amendments which were
suggested will be considered by the
committee in executive session.
