PRESIDENT HARDING
AND HIS SECRETARY
TAKE SHOPPING TRIP

Washington, Aug. 15.-Presi-
dent Harding went shopping
late this afternoon, making his
way practically unrecognized
through the downtown streets
at their busiest hour, and taking
home a tiny tissue wrapped
package purchased in jewelry
store.
Accompanied by Secretary
Christian, the president set out
on the expedition unannounced,
going to within a half block Of
his destination by automobile,
then directing the chauffeur to
park the car and wait. A few
recognized him. and as he and
Mr.. Christian leaned across the
iewelry counter making a selec-
tion, group of girls who were
passing by matted for moment
to look on.
"Oh, it's the PRESIDENT" ex-
claimed one. "Pll just bet he's
buying wedding present for.
his father"
What the president did buy
was known only to himself, his
secretary and the jewelry store
proprietor and they wouldn't
tell.

IRELAND EAGER
FOR A DECISION

From All Parts Of Country

tBy The Assoeiated Press, ,

Dublin, Aug. Is (by the Assoai-
ated Press. 1.-The pessimism over
the Irish situation which today In
some quarters in Dublin reached
almost the point Of hopelessne ess,
yielded tonight to reasoned optim-
ism when the program for the
meeting tomorrow of the Dali
Eireann was made public.
Instead of Immediately taking
up the problem Of peace or war.
the Sim Fein parliament will
spend a least two days in deal7
ing with the formalities incident
to the opening of the new legisla-
tive body, thus providing an op-
portunNy for many things to hap
pen behind the scenes.
Eager for a Verdict.
All Ireland Is eager for n deci-
sion by the parliament on the
British governments terms, wheth-
er it be acceptance Of them, the
expression OF desire for further
negotiations, or rejection, In order
to remove the tension which ex-
ists.
The belief prevails that rejection
NpdAh iiANSill u Lt1diLlpNlOit VI taAt
intensified scaAe when the truoe
ends of the GUERRILLA warfare that
for so long terrified the country.
Dublin castle views the prolong-
ing of the sessions of the Dali
Eireann in various lights. One
section OF the British governments
forces expresses the fear that DEP
lay in Immediately acting on the
troublesome questions at issue may
provoke the military. which Is de-
clared not to be hopeful of q fa-
vorable settlement, into making
preparations for eventualities.
See Bright Spot.
The other section, however, ad-
vances the opinion that the longer
the members of the Bail Eireann
are in debate, the greater will be
the chance for acceptance of the
imperial governments terms.
These persons affect to see a
bright spot in a prolonged session,
arguing that one day would be suf-
ficient to end the negotiations it
the Republican cabinet so desired.
From all parts of the country
members of the parliament gath
cred today to attend the sessions
of the body upon the decisions of
which so much is at stake. Many
of them had been released from
prisons or internment by order of
the imperial government that they
might lend their voice to the de-
liberations; others had been ae-
lively engaged with the Irish re-
publican army until the truce end
ed the strife, when they returned
to civil life. Earnestness was de-
picted on the faces of all the men
as they gathered for an informal
meeting of the members of the
parliament, which was held during
the course of the day. Many of
those who had been away from
Dublin for a long time met in
small groups and discussed the sit
uatlon with members more inti-
mate with it's latest phases than
they.

feeling of anxiety over the situa-

Washington, Aug. 15.-Witnesses
appeared before the finance COM
mittee today to ask changes IN
rates of the permanent tariff bill
as passed by the house. A wide
divergence of opirion among bust
ness interests as TO the effect of
the duties was at once indicated
and members of the committee
gave notice of their intention to
delve deeply into the appeals for
increases over the house rates,
Practically every witness was asked
concerning production costs, prof
its and general business conditions.
In some schedules. Chairman
Penrose said. 1t was evident now
that reductions would be made.
Some schedules probably would
have to be increased, he added, and

Total tax reductions for this fis-
cal year under the bin as revised
were estimated by some majority
members of the ways and means
committee at $350,000,0 900 as
against approximately $550,000, 000
planned by committee republicans
and the total tax yield at about
$4,000, 600, 600.
Amendments Planned.
AS a result of the changes made
by the republican conference, ma
jcrity committee members plan
further amendment of the bill be-
fore its presentation in the house
SO as to make corporation incomes
tag i25s per cent after next jan
uary /, instead of 15 per cent, as
originally planned and the manu-
facturers' tax on cereal beverages
cents gallon instead of IL cents.
Under plans adopted by the party

up in the house at IL a. m. We'd
Resday under special rule calling

Democrats Caucus Today.
Democratic members OF the house

OF action while the measure is uIl-
der consideration. They also are
expected to determine whether
democrats on the ways and means
committee shall file a minority re-
port. In the meantime the full
committee will meet to pass finally
upon the bill, but this is expected
to be a mere Formally.
The republican conference last
cd several hours, with western
members leading the fight to re-
feet the plan for retroactive repeal
of the excess profits and higher In
come surtax rates, which was
agreed upon at the White House
tax conference last Tuesday. Rep
resentative Frear, of Wisconsin, a
member of the ways and means
committee, was understood to have
insisted that the house pass on

DISCUSS PROPOSAL TO-
GIVE FINANCIAL AID
TO NATIONS FARMERS
tBy The Associatedl Press.)

Chicago, Aug. 15.+A proposed
$40, 900 bond issue which will
pay 1-2 per cent, and of which
the farmer will be loaned money
at 6 per cent for periods of from
ten to th!rty-five years. was dis
cusse1 today by bankers from
twenty-five states, representing
twenty-three land banks. The
meeting was under the auspices of
the American Association of Joint
Stock Land banks.
The association, operating under
the federal farm loan act ofR1916.
had failed to function for the past
two years because of restrictions
which eliminated the possibility of
any success under low interest rate
and long term loans.
w. w. Powell, secretary. said
that these restrictions had been
overcome, and that the associa-
ton would be enabled to carry out
its original policy.
Guy Huston of Chicago, presi-
dent of the First Joint Stock Land
bank. presided at the meeting,
which will be continued tomorrow.

Used By u. S, Alone,
tBy The Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. is (by the AS
sociated Press) The hope of AM
erican officials that the disarma-
ment conference will be a diplo-
matte conclave of the first order
was strengthened today when
France informed the state depart
ment that she would send her pre-
mier, Aristide BRAND. at the head
of her delegation of diplomatists.
The decision is expected here to
be followed by similar moves by
other powers, investing the gath
ering with extraordinary signifi-
canoe and giving 1t much of the
plenary authority that was pos
sessed by the council of "heads of
states" at Versailles.
First Formal Acceptance.
The French notification came In
the form of message from Pre-
mier BRAND himself. transmitted
through the American embassy at
Paris, saying merely that the pre-
mier would take pleasure in per-
lsonally representing his country at
1t was the fist formal accept
ance to be received from any of
the invited natfbns.
Meantime the administration
preparation of its own part in the
conference was advanced by re-
que,~ sent to congress for an ap-
precipitation Of 100000 as IAN in
itial budget to pay expenses of the
American representatives and of a
secretariat general. The estimate,
worked out by the state depart
ment and the budget bureau, was
taken under committee considera-
tion Immediately in the senate and
probably will receive favorable ac-
ticn in the near future.
The sum fixed in the request and
the data accompanying 1t appa-
lrently disposed of any expectation
that this government would pay
expenses of any of the visiting del
egations for congress was informed
specifically that the money was to
be used for the American delega-
Itson and for the secretariat general
alone. 1t was indicated that a
later appropriation would be asked
| should the printing Dill exceed
present expectations or should the
conference last more than two
months.
Sum Not Divided.
In making the request President
Harding merely transmitted with
his approval, letter written by
Under Secretary Stecher. of the
state department. who has been
placed in charge of physical ar
rangements for the conference and
who prepared his estimates after
conference with Director General
Dawes of the budget bureau. There
was no attempt to divide the sum
into separate items. In the senate
| 1t is likely that the requested APP
preparation would, be attached to

TO REGULATE STOCKYARDS
Public Utilities Commission Will Have
Full Control in Kansas

Kansas today became the first state
in the Union to exercise full control
and regulation of public stockyards
and the livestock commission bust
ness.
Under the law enacted by the 1921
legislature, the public utilities commits
sion is given control over the rates
and regulations of stockyards. The
bill became a law with publication in
the official state paper March 16, but
it actually went into effect today with
expiration of the sixty days of grace
in which to obtain a license from the
utilities commission.
The 1920 special session of the legis-
lature, which enacted the industrial
court law, attempted to regulate the
stockyards by creation of a livestock
bureau with powers similar to those
now given the utilities commission.
This law was due to become effective
May 1, 1920. Before this date the
stockyard interests obtained an injunc-
ton which was temporarily to restrain
the bureau and other state officials
from enforcing the provisions of the
act. The restraining order remained
in force until the law creating the
bureau was repealed by the last leg
islature.
The chief purpose of the new law
is to regulate the rates charged by
the stockyards for yardage and feed.
These rates have been excessive in the
tary of the Kansas Livestock associa-
ton which has advocated regulation.
In addition to stockyards the law
affects livestock commission mer-
chants and all others trading in live
stock on the public market. The prin-
cipal stockyards of the state are To-
Gated at Wichita and Kansas City
Kan, and are said to be controlled by
the big packing companies
All companies and individuals COM
ing under the act are required to file
schedules of the rates charged and
regulations for transaction of business.
The Public Utilities Commission may
then conduct Investigations. making
such changes in the rates and regula-
tions as deemed advisable. The law is
well provided with teeth" In addi-
ton to fines for violations of the law
or refusal to comply with orders of
the commission, the license to do bust
ness may be absolutely revoked. The
stockyards are brought under exactly
the same control as other public uitil-
tiles in the state, with the additional
provision for revokal of license for
cause.
