Senator Warren G. Harding, the

position on the suffrage question
and answered charges by militant
suffrage leaders that he had eyad-

he announced. II will rejoice IL

the Soviet governments acceptance

FUEL SITUATION
THOUGHT IN HAND

Revival of wartime fuel restfic-
tions is unlikely, it was indicated at
the White House yesterday.
Oficials said President Wilson is
keeping in touch with the Railroad
Administration and Interstate Com
merce Commission, which are try
ing to meet the fuel shortage, and
Is satisfied with their efforts.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has nearly as broad emer-
gency powers as a revived Fuel
Administration would have, SO that
there would be no use in bringing
back war restrictions while the
commission is functioning, 1t was
said.
The /. c. c., under its emergency
powers, has already ordered that
all available open-top cars be given
to bituminous coal mines. This or
der, which was to have ended late
in July. has been extended for
thirty days.

New York, July 14.-Mrs. Loretta
Dalton, wife of Morris Dalton, a
commission merchant of Bay Ridge,
and her two daughters experienced
a narrow escape from death last
night when the automobile in
which they were riding plunged
over the embankment near Oriental
Point at Manhattan Beach and
dropped into the ocean. With Mrs,
Dalton and her, daughters in the
car was Miss Margaret Lee, of Bay
Ridge.
The Dalton chauffeur was driving
along the shore road when a small
girl ran in front of the machine.
He swung sharply to the side and
the car went over the bank. Mrs.
Dalton, her daughters, Miss Lee and
the chauffeur were pinned under
the auto. which overturned, but
were quickly rescued by life guards.
The water, was about five feet deep
at the point where the cars plunged
over the bank. All OF the party
were taken to the Coney Island
Hospital and after treatment they
went home with the exception of
Miss Lee. She was submerged
somewhat longer than the others.

COX TOSETTIE
LEAGUEPOLICY
Nominee Will Invite VIII
sons S Views at Confer
ence Sunday.
(By Universal Seryice.D

Gov. Cox's conference with Presi-
dent Wilson at the White House
Sunday morning will be entirely
harmonious and will put an end to
the stories of friction between
them, according to Judge Timothy
T. Ansberry. who returned to
Washington yesterday.
Judge Ansberry, on his return
from San Francisco, stopped over
in Dayton for a conference with
the nominee.
On his arrival here Judge Ans
berry secuted the rumors of an
imminent split between the Presi-
dent and Gov. Cox.
Gov. Cox will be the guest on
Judge Ansberry during his stay
He will arrive here Saturday morn
ing at $3.50, Judge Ansberry said.
The league of nations, it is now
assured, will be the chief topic OF
discussion, IN which ridhhiih ~
Roosevelt, Vice Presidential nomi-
nee, also will participate. Gov. Cox
naturally will want to know first
hand the Presidents views.
The question of concentrating the
Democratic battle in the East and
Middle West or whether it will be
good strategy to extend the inten-
sive effort to the West doubtless
will be considered.
President Wilson, as the result OF
his tour of the West when he was
taken sick, knows probably better
than anyone else his strong and
weak spots in the West. On this
theory some Democratic leaders
here believe the President will de-
vote his chief campaign efforts to
those Western States which he be-
lieves to be in sympathy with his
league of nations stand.
