HARDING FOR EVEN BALANCE
 ON "AVENUE"
CBv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6-To put into practice his doctrine of consult
 tation and good understanding among public officials, President elect Harding sent today at the capi- tol taking stock of the legislative problems that await the new session of congress and in turn seeking the cooperation of congressional lead CTS in the tasks he will confront as chief executive.
 Adding q unique page to the na- tion's history he attended as sena- tor the opening of the senate and in short address bespoke for the coming four years a spirit of team work between executive and legisla- tive branches that he expects to in sure the highest national efficiency in public affairs at home and abroad.
 Later, after conferences with lead CTS of both senate and house, he an- nounced he probably would call special session of congress soon after his inauguration to attempt a revision of the nations tax sched- ules.
 Mir. Harding's address in the sen- ate was in response to an ovation that greeted his appearance for the opening roll call and was delivered at the suggestion of Senator Lodge. who called attention to the fact that for the first time in history pres ident-elect was present as senator.
 Vice-President Marshall seconded the suggestion by leaving his place and escorting Senator Harding to the rostrum. Visibly affected by the courtesy shown him by his col leagues and by the crowded galler- ies, the president-elect voiced deep regret at the surrender of his sen ate associations including both Dern- ocrats and Republicans, in his trib- ute. He termed campaign charges of senate oligarchy as harmless fiction" and declared that as presi- dent he would regard both senate and house with high esteem but without a thought of any surrender of coordinate constitutional auth Ority.
 Our governmental good fortune does not lie in any surrender at either end oi the avenue. but in the coordination and cooperation which becomes the two in a great and truly representative popular govern nent. We are facing no easy task. I am sure that the necessity Of wise solution will inspire us to work to- gether to take common counsel, to be tolerant of one another and to give the best that is in all of us"

Kid, your mammy wants to see you" the Mexican boy re- ported that he told the boy.
 Down off the pony came Will liam. And straight to the stranger he went.
 Then he and the stranger went and it is where they went that is bothering all concerned.
 The search took Dr. Barrett to Ash Fork first, and it was from there that he reported by telegraph to the sheriffS office. Meanwhile three strangers and a hoy are thought to have made a hurried automobile trip across half of Yavapai county to Selig- man where they left their ma chine and caught a Santa Fe train bound west.
 Mrs Barrett is reported to be very wealthy It is the theory of some of those connected with the case that she has employed detectives to trace William and secure him Another theory is that the detectives, who are said to have been paid $500 for the job, have worked for both the father and mother, stealing" the child alternately from each and restoring him alternately to the other - each operation netting certain fees.
