AUGUSTA, Ga, April 14.-That
Senator Hoke Smith will carry Rich
mond county by a majority Of at
least 500 votes over A. Mitchell Pal
mer and Thomas E. Watson COM
bined, was the prediction made last
night to The Journal correspondent
by several of the best posted local
authorities after hearing his speech
in the Grand opera house and observ-
ing it's impression upon the audience.
On arriving in Augusta, the sena-
tor was greeted with the information
in the editorial columns of the All
gusta Chronicle, one of his old-time
opponents, that he would be. ''wast-
ing his breath to make a speech
here. Unfortunately for the Chroni-
Gle, this information proved slightly
in error Instead Of wasting his
breath upon a cold audience, Senator
Smith submitted his position on the
League of Nations and the various
other points in controversy and re-
ceived unanimous vote Of approval
"Hurrah for Richmond county"
said the senator when the vote was
taken, and the audience replied with
enthusiastic applause.
1t was neither a cold audience nor
an unresponsive audience. 1t was
friendly to the senator at the start
and enthusiastically for him at the
finish. The seating capacity Of the
Grand opera house is something over
1900. It was practically filled and
standing room was taken in the rear.

CADETS READY FOR
DRILL NEXT WEEK
1000 D C. High School Boys
To Compete in Ball Park
Before Army Judges.

The competitive drill of the High
School Cadets takes place next Mon
day and Tuesday. Long months OF
drilling by some 1000 boys end next
week when they march into the
American League Park to battle for
first honors in the drill.
Stephen f. Kramer, superintendent
OF schools and director of the cadet
corps, announced today the War De-
partment had named the following
officers as judges: Capt. Thomas II.
Lowe and Capt. James r. N. weaver,
infantry, and Capt. Herbert b. Hay
den, field artillery.
Twenty-three cadet companies have
been formed in the five high schools
Eastern, Business, Mckinley. Western
and Central Since the early part of
November these companies have drill
ed twice and sometimes three times
each week.
The first company goes on the field
about 8 o'clock Monday morning. The
last company takes the field about
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Pre-
sentation of the winning flag to the
company scoring the highest number
Of points will be made about o:3o
o'clock in the presence OF members
of the Board of Education, the Com
missioners and school officials.
Plans for accommodating from TO-
900 to $4,000 people a day at the ball
park have been made. This Is the
biggest event in the high school year
Winning of the drill is the highest
honor that can be bestowed upon any
student and the rivalry among the
captains is very strong.
The colored cadet drill will be held
Wednesday at the ball park.
An effort was made last week tc
secure General Pershing as a judge
but the general, pressed with more i'm
portant matters, was not able to
serve.

SHORTAGE Of SUGAR
|. LAID T0PRES|DENT
"Too Much League of Nations. I"
Says Congressman Tinkham
In House Speech.

Responsibility for the mounting
price of sugar was placed upon Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday by Congress-
man Tinkham of Massachusetts In
speech in the House.
Even now, the President could re-
lieve "the sugar price burden that
confronts every household in the
land IL he would follow the advice
of Herbert Hoover and ration nom
essential sugar consumers, Tinkham
said.
Tinkham disclosed an unpublished
cablegram from Hoover to the Presi-
dent. sent last July from Paris. in
which the former Food Admnistra-
tor predicted a world sugar shortage
in 1920, speculation. and profiteering.
unless the Federal Government took
action to control the situation. This
warning was reinforced, Tinkham
said, by a request from the sugar
equalization board for executive ap-
proval Of the purchase of the Cuban
crop. Tinkham declared both warn
ings had gone unheeded by the Presi-
dent and Attorney General Palmer.

President had counted America nrst'

HOUSE SPURNS'
. 6O-4O OFFER.
Compromise Plan for District
Taxation Is Rejected by
i, C0nferees.

The Senate threw q sop of COM
promise on the half-and-half plan to
tho House conferees on the District
appropriation bill yesterday. The
latter spurned the offer.
The Senate was willing to abandon
the half-and-hslf plan in favor of the
sixty7forty" plan, the District pay
expenditures and the Federal Gov
srnment forty. When Senator Curtis.
acting for the Senate conferees. made
this proposition. the House members
were surprised. since this was the first
time that the Senate had breathed
even the suggestion OF compromise.
Bat the offer was refused.
The deadlock has now gone beyond
all hope of cancellation, and the con-
ferees ~ both Senate and House will
report their inability to agree today
or tomorrow. A resolution continu-
Ing the current appropriations VIII
then be rushed through.
Senator Curtis probably will make
q brief speech in the Senate review
ing the situation and denouncins the
House conferees. Congressman Davis
probably will make an explanation
along similar lines in the House. In
view of the almost untold hardship
that will come upon Washing Ton
should the appropriations of the cur
rent year be merely continued, tre-
mendous pressure will be placed upon
the House to yield in its contention.
30 far there Is no indication that it
will do 80.

BROWNLOW APPEALS
TO SENATORS In VAIN

District Commissioner Brownlow
visited the Capitol today in final ef-
fort to reach an agreement on the
District appropriation bill.
Senators gloomily told him that
there was practically no hope Of
breaking the deadlock between the
House and Senate on the half-and-
half plan, and that a resolution con-
tinuing the present appropriation
would have to be presented in the
near future.
"It will be a deep calamity IL tho
District bill fails" said Brownlow.
IT cannot conceive Of anything more
disastrous to the interests OF the
city"
Senator Warren, chairman of the
Senate Appropriation Committee,
agreed with Commissj joner Brown
low and expressed dishay over the
surn that evepts- had taken. But he
said he was convinced There Was no
cope Of an agreement.

Van Schaick, Backed by
White House, May Defy
Senators and Hold Job

President Wilson has a trump card
to play in the fight of the Senate upon
John Van Schaick, jr., and the Board
Of Education.
The administration forces are going
to stand by Van Schaick to the bitter
finish. Even il Congress should abol-
ish the present board, and transfer
the appointing power from the Dis
trict Supreme Court, to the President,
the latter has course of action clear
ly marked out for him.
Van schick To Hold On.
He will give recess appointments
to Dr. Van Schaick and his supporters
on the board as means of retaliat-
ing upon the members of the Senate
who have conducted an unrelenting
fight upon them.
1t Is now an open secret that DR..
Van Schaick would have resigned al
most directly upon the publication OF
the Senate select committees report
denouncing him II his friends and
supporters In the administration had
not insisted that he fight the matter
through to a finish. 1t Is doubtful
now whether he will resign at all.
The question of going through with
the program Of ousting Thurston Is
Still up IN the air, and the board
meeting was adjourned Tuesday to
permit the dominant faction further
time to canvass the whole matter.
Temporary Hiatus.
Schaick penned a note to Senator
Capper two weeks ago saying he
would be willing to resign as soon
as the board appointed a successor
to DR.. Thurston. The fact that the
Senate report recommended the re-
tension Of Thurston until new
board be brought into existence has
caused temporary hiatus in this
program.
Senator Harrison, leader in the
anti-Van Schaick fight is going to
make hard effort to have legisla-
ton abolishing the present board and
reorganizing the entire system OF ap-
pointing the board tackled on to the
general deficiency measure, the last
OF the great supply bills to come be-
fore Congress. Such legislation, OF
course, can be knocked out on n point
OF order by a single member ~ either
branch, and II is therefore extremely
unlikely that IL will get through at
the present session.
Wilson Can Block Plan.
Should the school legislation, how
ever, go through, President Wilson,
who is TO Re given the appointing
power under the bill, could easily de-
feat the will OF Congress by grant
ing recess appointments to Van
schsiek and his associates. or course.
The Washington times., 1920-06-02

the appointments would stand no
chance of confirmation at the coming
session of Congress, unless there was
radical change in the sentiment OF
the Senate.
There is also the possibility, by no
means overlooked. that should the
present board resign in the next few
weeks, the District Supreme Court
should show its resentment over the
attack on its integrity by the Senate
select committee by reappointing
them. This posture of circumstances
would come in the event that no
school legislation passed Congress be-
fore next Saturday, when the session
ends.
DR.. Van Schaick and his friends on
the board simply are lying low" to
see what Congress will do before 1t
adjourns. 1t is almost a certainty
that there is another bitter school
row in prospect in any event, for
sentiment is growing that the board
should not retire under fire.
