statement showing that he line cost

igures, of $54,470, which the company
will have received from the line if per-
mission is given to dismantlc, from
an investment of but $l2,227.

parties have agreed to take over and
operate the mine on lease and bond
at a price that will pay the indebted

the power line is left undisturted and
that the mine cannot be operated
without electric power. The hearing

London, June 14.-Warren G. Hard

neither satisfaction or disappointment
with the Republican choice of a Presi-

assume the result of the Chicago con-
vcntion has opened the possibility of
the election of a Democrat to the
Presidency which of late has been re-
garded here as extremely improbable.
Among those taking this view are
the London Times and the Daily News,

best card they can play 81 to persuade
Herbert Hoover to accept their nomi-

Mr.. Harding is politician not an
idealist, and may commend himself to
the American people, "who show no
marked liking for being governed by
edict from Mount Sinai" and predicts
that if the Republicans win, "the
league will fall to the dusty stage of
pious revolution"
Curiosity as to how Mr.. Harding
