Harding Accused of Feeding Poison To Negro Minds Washington, Oct. 27. President ' Harding's address in Birmingham on the race question was described as an "un fortunate and mischievous utterance," by Senator Han ison of Mississippi, one of the democratic leaders of the sena' e, in a formal statement issued, today. Senator Watson, democrat, Georgia, also issued a state ment in which he declared it was "a great pity that a north ern man, holding the highest office on earth, should go down into the south and plant there fatal germs in the minds of the black race." SEAT VOTE ON STRIKE TAKEN HOUSE REFUSES TO Postmaster Union Heads Asylum Patient 30 Years Jumps From Window, Is Killed While rain beat against" the windows of the state hospital for the insane at 2 o'clock this morn- , lng, Honry Weisenfee ceased to be a burden on the state. He died from injuries sustained yesterday ' afternoon when he jumped from a ; second story window of a building on the cottage farm, south of Sa lem. He was TO years of age. Probably Henry Weisenfee did n't have any relatives. At any rate they never came to visit him in his little room at the asylum farm. Scarcely anybody even knew the old man who was occasionally seen on the state grounds. But officials lilted and were good to him. Picked up and carried to a bed from the spot where he was found, terribly injured, Weisenfee had the best care that physicians could provide, but medical skill coula not save him. The setting of his left leg, which had been broken near the hip and the attention to his other injuries, could not keep him alive. The shock proved too much. Thirty years ago in 1891 Weisenfee was committed to the hospital from Benton county. A quiet, orderly puMent, Weisenfee won the right to be sent to the cot tage farm. What prompted him to take his life yesterday is not known. The remains are at the parlors of Webb & Clough, Salem undertakers. Washingtop, Oct; 27.

Japs Ready To Cut Sea Strength Upon Agreement Aboard Steamship Kashima Maru, Oct. 26. Japan stands ready to cut down her navy if the powers reach an understanding at the forthcoming conference at Washington on limitation of arm aments and Far Eastern questions, according to Vice Admiral Tomo saburo Kato, member of the Japa nese delegation to Washington, which is traveling" to America aboard this ship. The vice admiral, who is Ja pan's naval minister, made his statement in an address to the pas sengers. He declared that, although he had been criticised as the man re sponsible for Japan's eight-and-eight naval building program, and therefore, loath to undo his work, yet nothing was farther from the truth. Vice Admiral Kato asserted that his position had been clearly out lined in an interview given to the! Associated Press at Tokio last year and he made the claim that Japan was the first of the powers to definitely set a limit to which she was willing to cut her navy. On the other hand the Japanese delegate said if no national accord is reached at Washington, Japan would not and could not curtail her navy program a single inch. Chicago, Oct. 27.
