Unruly Members of Congress.
By Lawrence Martin
Washington, Dec. 7. U. P.) Under
the personal direction of President Hard
ing,' the "old guard" xin congress and
members of the cabinet have set out to
smash the agricultural bloc.
At recent conferences at the White
House, in which Senators Watson and
Curtis and Secretary of War Weeks and
other cabinet members "took part, it was
agreed that Republican party safety in
the next congressional -campaign, and in
the presidential campaign of 1924, de
pends on whipping all factions within
the party Into line and the distinct party
leadership.
Harding; in his message to congress
yesterday gave notice that, the bloc
must go and that Republicans must
obey their party leaders and accept the
legislative program their party stood
back of.
Cabinet members will follow up Hard
ing's lead in speeches in various parts
of the country, assailing the farm bloc,
directly, denouncing the legislation the
bloc stands for, and telling the public
that the welfare of the country depends
on the abolition of all such special
groups in congress.

TO LIBERTY BANDET
John Printer ,f forger.
This, it was revealed today, was an
other role played by the last of the Lib
erty theatre bandits to be captured.
That Printer engaged in bad check
passing was ascertained sfter Ben Sell
ing, clothier, sent three checks, alleged
to have been written by Printer for a
total of 1239.50, to the sheriffs office.
The checks bore the signature of "John
Boresof f ' of Tobias station.
Chief Deputy . Pratt recognised, the
similarity of the writing on the checks
to that on the "suicide" note written by
Printer to his wife before he was cap
tured. Pratt questioned Printer's son.
Andrew.
"Where is that overcoat your father
got at SeUing-sr
"un, u s at Dome, replied Andrew.
"And where is the suit?"
"Here it is I've got it on."
The checks were written in October,
during which month, young Printer said,"
the purchases were made.
Printer's imagination, in seeking a
name for the - signature, hit upon John
Borefeoff of Seattle, at whose horns Leo
Seredrick. one of the bandit gang, was
captured. No Boresoff lives at Tobias
Station.

existence failed. ' i ' i , "
More than 400 members of the league
attended Tuesday's meeting in Library
hall, called to count the vote on the
question as to whether they wished to
liquidate the organisation. Of the near
3000 members about 1000 voted by mail,
some 200 personally at the meeting and
the rest failed to vote.
LEAGUE TO GO OS
Discussions and disclosures made at the !
meeting convinced almost all of those
present that the league must go on. Al
though sentiment was at a fever heat
ail day, in few cases was anger shown
and then between individuals only. Most
of the members were in a receptive mood,
ready to uphold any constructive move
that might be advanced. Of the many
plans offered to solve the difficulties
few met with any approval.
Many were In favor of allowing each
sone to function as a seperate organiza
tion and to work with each , other
through a central office on matters
which affected them all and in the sell
ing . of - their surplus products. Under
this plan each sone would take over
the plants owned by the Byproducts'
corporation in that sone and in that
way release the capital stock, payments
on which is largely responsible for the
leagues present difficulties.
Considerable criticism was voiced be
cause the secretary-treasurer had failed
to make a report of the financial con

evening that he was prevailed upon " to
make any kind of a report.
