STORM SPOILS
HARDING GOLF
President-Elect Remains In
doors, Debating on
His Speech.

POINT ISABEL. Tex, Nov. Ia
Marooned by one of the worst
storms that ever beat against the
bleak promontory on which this lit
tie fishing village is located. PresI-
dent-elect Harding today remained
inside his cottage.
He called in a stenographer and
spent the day answering mail, and
dictated on his New Orleans speech
to be delivered next Thursday, just
before sailing for Panama.
Senator Harding woke this morn
ing with the stinging "Norther'
lashing the waters of Laguna Madre.
White-capped breakers beat all day
against the cliff upon which the SEN
ator's cottage sits.
Fishermen tied their small boats
and watched the storm from the
shelter of the crude frame fish
houses. Tarpon fishing was impos-
sible. Plans had been made by the
Senator to golf in Brownsville.
His only exercise today was a
short walk from the cottage to the
hotel and back.
Mrs. Harding remained indoors
a greatly needed rest here and ap-
pears much refreshed.
Although political affairs have
been studiously avoided by Senator
Harding, it is possible that the
Mexican situation in which Senator
Fall, who arrives tomorrow, is
deeply interested, may be discussed
in an informal and unofficial way.
Gov. Hobby, Of Texas. Is due Tues
day and probably win go with ths;
party toward New Orleans.
Although he is adverse to touch
ing foreign soil on his Forthcoming
trip. Senator Harding has agreed TO
discuss the matter of visiting the
city of Panama with a DELEGATION
at Colon.
Plans are being made to move
Senator Harding and his party to
Brownsville tomorrow IL the present
storm continues. Accommodations
here are unsuitable to the rainy
weather.

CHARGEFAVORS
FOR UTILITIES
Federal Employees Union
Asks Investigation of
Discrimination.

An. exhaustive investigation by
Congress into the alleged discrimi-
nation by the Public Utilities Com
mission of the District in favor of
local utility corporations is asked in
a resolution embodied in a report
made Friday night by the Public
Utilities Committee of the Federal
Employees Union to the National
Federation of Federal Employees.
The committee. of which jeremiah
Connolly is chairman, was appoint
ed some time ago by President Lu-
ther c. Steward of the National Fed
Grafton.
TIE resolution states that where
as the ease with which Washington
utilities are able to secure increased
rates upon paper showings without
what the public believe adequate
analysis, encourages them to return
with increasing frequency for more
aid from the Utilities Commission; !;
and
s"Whereas, at every hearing the
Commission has allowed the public
in recent years there seems to have
been little or no attention paid by
the Commission to the protests of
the representatives of the public,
and in some instances, scant cour-
tesy is granted them" ending with
the statement that the comittee
'implores Congress to cause an ex-
haustive investigation of existing
conditions, with a vew to immediate
relief"

Bolivian Minister
Sees Peace by League

PARIS, Nov. 13.-F. A. Aramayo.
Bolivian minister to France. who
will represent his country at the
opening meeting of the league OF
nations assembly Monday in Gene
va, said today that he will present
the claims of Bolivia in the treaty
of 1904 with Chile which deprived
the former of access to the sea.
We have faith in the interna-
tional institution which will insure
world peace" he said. Without
an organization OF this kind. hu-
manity would be at the mercy of
the worst catastrophes. The sys-
TEN of alliances has shown what II
is worth for general peace. A new
war would be a cataclysm in which
the results of the civilization Of
centuries would perish.
within a few days the Bolivian
government will reimburse France
for loans obtained in 1910 and 1918
totaling 57.O00.OOO francs. Reim-
bursement will be made through the
Bolivian national loan from three
Bolivian banks, which shows the
prestige the government has estab-
lished as well as the political and
economic situation In Bolivia"
