Salvation Army Distributes Cheer
to 25,000, While Other Or
ganizations Share Work.
KEW YORK, Dec. 23 A Salva
tion Army lassie climbed the rickety
stairs of a tenement in the lower
east side today to a room where an
aged blind woman sat alone.
"The Salvation Army wishes you a
merry Christmas and leaves this
little gift to help you enjoy the
spirit of the day," she said, placing
a huge bag in the old woman's lap.
"About the same time, on upper
Fifth avenue, an indulgent father
was trying to sneak a J15.000 silver
trimmed roadster into the garage to
help his only daughter "enjoy the
SDirit of the day."
Somewhere in between these Inci
dents lay the typical spirit.
It is certain that the "spirit of
the day" descended on New York
early and with all its old-time fer
ver. Crowds swarmed through
Fifth avenue and the other shopping
districts, intent on adding a few
more millions to the quarter-billion
dollar Christmas that the merchants
reported "Father Knickerbocker" as
having already run up.
Salvation army workers distrib
uted about 25,000 Christmas bags of
food, clothing, goodies and toys The
Knights of Columbus distributed
2300 baskets, and workers for other
organisations were busy on similar
missions. Street vendors did a
heavy business in cedar trees, holly,
toys, cams and other Yuletide mis
cellany. The Humane society had a Christ
mas tree for dogs at its headquar
ters. On it were hung fancy neck
bands and dog biscuits and sweet
cakes galore for every scroot that
could be found.
Women workers from the Humane
society stopped every team that
passed on Seventh avenue and fed
the horses apples and carrots. Then
they presented the drivers with
gloves and bags of specially pre
pared feed for the horse'B Christ
mas dinner.
Many organizations, including city
departments, gave Christmas parties
for poor children, and many are
planned for tomorrow and Mon
day. AVHITK HOUSE PLANS FEW
which is a bulky one, not to open '
it until it had been delivered to the
tot, Christmas day, whose identity,
the message stipulated, is to be left
to the Judgment of Brigadier Hay.
Nothing whatever is known of the
anonymous donor.
Naturally the brigadier is- hard
pressed with the responsibility of
making a choice; there are many
such daddyless little girls of the
stated age in the city. He is look
ing for some tot who seems to
stand a good chance of being com
pletely overlooked by Santa Claus
otherwise; and he is willing, he
states, to take any number of sug
gestions. Anybody who knows of
just such a little girl is urged to
call him up at Broadway' 4927.

DISTURBED,
Borah and Johnson Regarded as
Republican Potential Possi
bilities for President.
Prevents
Senators Borah and Johnson are
two of the republican
potential presidential possibilities,
although President Harding will be
nominated in 1924 if he will accept
the honors, said Ralph E. Williams,
republican national committeeman
from Oregon and vice-chairman of
the national committee. Mr. Will-
lams returned to Portland late Fri
day night after an extended trip
thrtfugh the east, during whioh he
attended several meetings with the
chairman of the national committee
and the executive committee of the
party. p
"Politics in the east is disturbed
and unsettled," said Mr. Williams.
"This condition is due to local and
state conditions, rather than na
tional issues.
"There is strong talk for Senators
Borah and Johnson in the east at
present. And, what would surprise
you is that much of this support is
coming from conservative men, as
well as from the radical element.
"There is no question in my mind
but that Mr. Harding will be renom
inated in case he desires to accept
the nomination.
"Among the democrats, Senator
Ralstcn of Indiana,, Governor Al
Smith of New York, judge Clarke of
Ohio, ex-Governor 'Cox of Ohio and
Mr. McAdoo have been mentioned.
Ralston seems to . have the lead.
Although there is much talk of
Henry Ford's candidacy, it is not
taken very seriously, .as no one
seems to know to which party he
belongs."
Mrs. Williams, who accompanied
Mr. Williams on the trip, returned
to the city with her husband.
The deliberations of the commit
tees, Mr. Williams stated, had to do
with the internal affairs of the
party rather than issues..
Business conditions in the east do
not equal those of the coast, stated
Mr. Williams. He believes that the
Pacific coast has more real, basic
prosperity than the east or central
states.
While Mr. Curtis of Kansas Gives
Instructions, Whisky Bottle
Crashes on Cafe Floor.
By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 23
Senator Curtis, republican, Kansas,
chairman of the senate rules com
mittee and -republican whip, issued
strict orders to the sergeant-at-
party's arms of the senate today to arrest
' any person soliciting orders tor
liquor in the senate wing of the
capitol Or in the' senate office build
ing.
Bottle of ythlxky Craahe.
While Senator Curtis was issuing
his ultimatum against bootleggers,
diners in the senate restaurant were
startled by a resounding crash and
a tinkie. of glass. One of the wait
ers, rushing across the floojr wtth a
napkin over his arm, had dropped a
bottle of whisky.
A concerted rush toward the wet
spot on the part of the waiters re
sulted in the evidence being mopped
up almost before those present knew
what had happened.
Declaration Follow EipoM.
Senator Curtis' declaration fol
lowed published reports recently
that a bootlegger was soliciting or
ders for various kinds of intoxicants
just outside the senate chamber,
while on the floor a senator was
pleading for an increased appropria
tion for the enforcement of prohi
bition. Senator Curtis said that no influ
ence, however strong, would protect
a bootlegger hereafter from arrest
and prosecution if he invades the
senate end of the capitol or the
senate office building, but up to a
late hour there had been no arrests.
Mrs. Harding's illness
.'Iiristnms Celebration.
WASHINGTON, T). C, Dec. 23.
Christmas at the White House will
lack much of the usual spirit of
times gone by because of Mrs. Hard
ing's illness.
There will be no house guests and
no Christmas tree." Neither the
president nor Jits. Harding has
made any holiday plans. She may
come downstairs in ier wheel chair
and preside at the table for Christ
mas dinner, but otherwise the day
wi-11 be like any other since she was
taken ill.
To add a little cheer, the White
House has Yuletide wreaths in the
windows and there will be a pro
fusion of flowers.
As a Christmas present to the
thousands of government employes,
President Harding issued an execu
tive order closing the government
departments at noon today and at
that hour most high officials also
closed up their desks and went
home. The senate, too, joined in
the early beginning of the Christ
mas season, holding only a short
session, but the. house went ahead
with the consideration of appro
priation bills.
FARMER SCATTERS MONEY
Idaho Man Lands in Hospital
- When Gifts Become Numerous.
. CHICAGO, Dec. 23. An excess of
Christmas good will tonight landed
--Sus Mallackas, ared 43, who says
he is an Idaho farmer, in the psycho
pathic hospital.
En route to Chicago on a Chicago
& Northwestern train Mallackas, car
rying $1820 in cash and two suit
cases, each secured with a huge pad
lock, began distributing his money
among the passengers and crew.
The conductor, after receiving a J650
present, collected the funds again
and turned the farmer over to the
police. At the police station Mal
lackas handed the captain's secre
tary $1000 and told him to go out
and buy a turkey for Christmas.
Reports from more than 60 mar
keta in the Chicago district indicate
that king turkey will rule at more
Christmas dinners this year than
ever before, according to local pack
ing-house officials here today.
Belated buyers today were paying
45 to 55 cents for turkeys which
merchants said were the best in
quality thty had handled in several
seasons.
FLEXIBLECORSET OUT
NEW MODEL EASILY PARKED
AT DANCES,
Dealers, in Stays Doing Tremen
dous Business and Rap
Idly Getting Rich.
By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire
CHICAGO, Dec. 23. Debs and sub-
debs who have been annoyed by the
labor, required to "park" their cor
sets at dance halls, finding a suit
able "parking" space and replacing
them after the ball, will hail the
announcement made before the Chi
cago Corset club today that a self
parking corset, especially designed
for the 1923 dancing season, is ready
for the market.
The new model is made with ribs
of flexible shafting and hooks with
snap type clasps in four places.
This feature will appeal to dancers
who find it convenient to "check"
their corsets. The new corsets are
quickly placed and removed and rate
high in tensile strength.
Notwithstanding the corsetless
modes designed by fashion arbiters
and the fact that thousands of
women who never wear stays of any
form, it was admitted that cor
setieres are doing a tremendous
business and getting rich at a rapid
rate. Especially in cold weather,
they find their sales of fur-lined
corsets increasing. The manufac
turers of corsets say their creatiorft
are easier to take than a diet or any
other system of reducing, and that
as long as women consume bonbons
and other fattening sweets there
will be a demand for corsets.
DRY' ENFORCEMENT HOPEFUL
Commissioner Hayncs Sends Y ule
.Greeting of Good Cheer.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,' Dec 23.
"Be of good cheer," was Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes' Christmas
message today to "friends of the
18th amendment,' in whioh he de
clared the success attained in pro
hibition enforcement gave "every
reason for hopefulness, gratification
and congratulations." -
"Do not- be deceived nor dis
mayed," said Mr. Haynes, "by a na
tionwide programme of misrepre
sentation, constituting as it does
the motet pretentious, most per
nicious propaganda to undermine
enforcement since the enactment of
the amendment.
"Admitting, of course, that there
are violations of the Volstead act
unfortunately by some who hold
themselves above the law the fact
cannot and will not be conscien
itously denied that the last year has
been marked with rapid strides to
ward the same degree of enforce
ment of this law as obtains in re
spect to all other laws, none of
which are enforced 100 per cent.
"The fact is self-evident." said
Commissioner Haynes, "that real
liquor is almost,. Impossible to be
........... . ma. niv av
erage bootleg product is dangerous
to life and health, the law will, to
ah increasing extent, enforce itself."
at the proper time is entitled to his I
chance to make. good. It is apparent i
that Roscoe Arbuckle s conduct j
since his trouble merits the chance. '
So far as I am concerned there will
be no suggestion now that he should
not have his opportunity to go to
work in his profession. In our
effort to develon a complete co
operation and confidence within the !
industry, I hope we can start the
new year with no yesterdays. Live
and let live is not enough. We will
try to live and help live."
Reinstatement In Denied.
"This is no reinstatement of
Arbuckle. to his place in films or
does it in any way relate to the
release of films already made.- It
is. simply a declaration that I shall
not stand in the way of this man
having his chance to go to work to
make good if he tan. I neltner
sponsor him nor stand in his way,
but in a spirit of American fair
play and Christian charity I propose
that as far as I am concerned he
shall have his chance and I am sure
we are doing the- right thing to
accomplish the great good in the
end.
"While I am sure my statement
is right, yet I do not presume to
insist that my idea shall be accepted
by others. That there will be some
misunderstandings of "the purposes
and motives of the statement until
all of the problems are worked out
I have no doubt. But while I shall
deeply regret any such misunder
standings, yet from my knowledge
of the whole situation, I know it is
right a'nd I am content"
MINISTER FILES PROTEST
Reinstatement of Arbuckle Said
; to Have Been Arbitrary.
NEW YORK. Dec. 23. Rev.
Charles S. MacFarlAid, general sec
retary of the federal council of the
churches of Christ in America, to
day made public a letter to Will II.
Hays, head of the motion picture
industry, calling for an explana
tion why he, as a member of Mr.
Hay's "committee on public rela
tions," was not consulted about the
reinstatement of Roscoe (Fatty)
Arbuckle, film comedian, who fig
ured in the party that resulted in
the' death of Virginia Rappe, ac
tress. , ;
Mr. McF'arland, as general secre
tary of the church federation, is a
membei of. the executive committee
of the committee on public rela
tions, which Mr. Hays organized re
cently from various religious and
civic organizations to aid him in
putting the movies on a higher
plane.. "' ,
His letter, besides raising . the
point of why he was not consulted,
declared that "unfortunately the
impression has gained ground that
this is due to pressure of financial
interests invested in Arbuckle pic
tures.'' .
Mr. MacFarland quoted the fo!
lowing telegram from the St. Louiil
federation of churches:
"St. Louis church people are in
censed over the proposal of. Will
H. Hays on behalf of moving pic
ture Interests to bring Arbuckle into
the films. Strong supporting reso
lutions will undoubtedly be passed
in St. Louis denominational minis
terlal bodies, by ministerial alliance
and-by church federation. 4s fed
eral council taking action?"
"The enclosed telegram," his let
ter said, "is merely an indication, in
my judgment, of the general ex
pressions, which are coming and
will continue to come from our re
ligious and moral forces relative o
your decision in the Arbuckle mat
ter.
"May I raise the question as to
why there was no consultation
whatever swlth persons represent
ing the church whose co-operation
you have sought? It would seem as
though this would be a matter on
which above all you harve wanted
counsel and advice from people who
represent these large bodies re
fleeting so wide an area of public
opinion

Marooned Bootleggers Expected
to Try Aerial Delivery. '
NEW YORK, Dec. 23. Rum-running
by airplane Is the next move
anticipated from the few desperate
sea bootleggers who still are ma
rooned off the coast with theif
Christmas cargoes, prohibition offi
cials said today. The bootleggers,
lolling off the three-mile limits, can
not get small boats to ruii the
blockade; their supplies are run
ning dangerously, low, and every
night pirates are putting to sea and
are making life for the bootleggers
anything but a Joy, the dry navy
officials declared.
According to John D. Appelby,
zone chief in charge of the dry navy
for the prohibition agents, big air
planes have been requisitioned. He
said he had received information
that 15 planes were being prepared
on the Long island coast, or along
the Jersey marshes, In the hope that
they can beat the enforcement
game. -' -
Officials at headquarters assert
that the bootleggers practically have
given up hope of putting liquor Into
New York for Christmas, but they
still think they can land some for
New Year's day.
The dry navy, it is said, has not
lessened its blackade.

BERLIN, Dec. 23. President

count of passengers proved to be
short by two. Of the 1583 recorded,
only 1581 were found.
A second count also failed to re

until noon ticked off. Not until the
third count were the passengers
found, one a valet who was busy
with preparation of his master's
luggage, and the other a man who
had stopped at the barber shop and
was overlooked in the check-offs.
They were discovered shortly
after noon, but the authorities then
were unable to land the shipload of
immigrants.
