HARDING ASKS
CONGRESS AID
IN SHIP BOARD
LOSSES TANGLE
President Approves Lasker' s
Plan to Get Big Men to
Straighten Problems
FAT SALARIES HINTED
Executive, in Letter, Claims
u. S. Must Pay Well For
Services Rendered

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. - The
closest cooperation between congress
and the administration in an effort
to bring shipping board losses down
to a minimum was urged today by
President Harding in letter to Sen
ator Jones, Republican, Washington,
read to the senate during considera-
ton of bill carrying $4S,500,000 for
the boards activities. The presideI>
said these had been "unspeakable
losses and unutterable wastes" which
must be charged to the war emer-
gency.
Chairman Lasker's effort to get big
men to aid in putting the board on it's
feet was approved by the president,
who said if they could end operating
losses, their salaries would be moro
than justified.
At the same time there was present
ed letter from Chairman Lasker say
ing that sooner or later congress
would be called upon to appropriate
$780, 100000 in outstanding claims, in
herited from the former ADMINISTERS
tion.
The presidents letter, giving his
views at length on the general ship
ping situation, follows:
II could not fail to note the dissat-
isfaction expressed in both house and
senate over the very unsatisfactory
condition of the affairs of the ship
ping board and the reluctance of coz.
gress to make appropriations for the
continued activities of the board with
out putting specific restraints upon
the boards activities in employing
agents Of relief.
From your position, you are proc
ably as familiar with the affairs of
the board as | am and hope you will
make it a point to lay the exact but
unpleasant truth before your collea-
CUES.
There are approximately 5000, ,0O0,-
600 in claims against the shippfn:.
board. No businessman would ven.
ture upon the settlement of these
claims without highly capable legal
representatives. The staggering
losses in operation can only be cured
by a board of operators whose mem
bers know something concerning the
business. These men could not be Sc.
cured without giving up private pur.
suits which are vastly more profita.
BILE than the average administration
salary under the government, and
Chairman Lasker has proceeded with
my hearty approval in the acqu.r~.
ment of men equal, to this task. II
their knowledge of the business will
enable us to put an end to operating
losses, as we very much hope to do,
their requirement for government se..
vice will be justified a hundred fold u

Claim of Supporters
REDUCE BEVERAGE TAX

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2O.-The tax
revision bill of 1921 estimated to cut
SS1S,000,000 from the nations tax
burden by 1923. was passed late to-
day by the house, 274 to 125. on an
almost straight party vote
Three Democrats voted for the bill
while nine Republicans voted against
it. Democrats voting for were: Camp
bell, Pennsylvania. and Dupre and
LazarO, both of Louisiana.
Republicans voting against the bill
were: Beck. Wisconsin: Clague.
Minnesota Keller, Minnesota; Lam
bert, Wisconsin; MichaelsCn. Illinois:
John M. Nelson. Wisconsin: Sinclair.
North Dakota; voegel, Wisconsin;
Woodruff, Michigan.
Before the vote, Representative
Mondell, Republican leader, deliver
ed prepared address praising the
tax bill and saying it remained for
later congress to fully revise the tax
schedules when we shall have pass
ed beyond the shadow of the war
overhang"
In this measure we have relieved
the burden where it is most clearly
of an emergency character" he said
''and relieved it and heightened it for
the benefit of every class and condi-
tion in the nation.
I'VE have lifted rather than shift
ed the more oppressive and annoying
of the war taxes. We have kept faith
and while some will rail against the
ma %.
it will receive the commendation OF
the great body of the American peo-
pie"
Mondell was cheered from the Re-
publican side. Representative Con-
molly, Democrat, Texas, arose to ask
the Republican leader to show him
the pledge in the Republican platform
for the relieving of the taxes on men
of large incomes. Mondell tried to
get recognition to answer but the
house was in an uproar. which did not
end until o'clock when the way was
cleared for voting under the rule.
Representative Cochran, Democrat.
New York, rising to a point OF privi-
lege, offered a resolution condemnine
President Harding for addressing the
senate July 12 on soldier bonus to the
exclusion of the house.
The Democrats forced the first roll
call on Representative Mondell's mo-
tion to lay the resolution on the table
which prevailed.
The house adopted the committee
amendment reducing the tax on ce-
real beverages from six to four cents.
but it failed in the last minute to
reach a vote on the provision for Gre
alton of tax investigation commits
sion. .-f
The bill will he sent Monday to the
senate where il will be taken up af-
ter the end of the recess on Septem-
ber 81. Meantime, the senate finance
committee will hold additional public
hearings on the whole tax question
and probably revise the measure in
a number of details.

Brighter Days For Copper Are
Coming, Businessmen Are Told

Encouraging signs in the copper
situation were noted by James s.
Casey. attorney, in a talk last night
before the Warren District Business
Mems Association, gathered together

Casey explained that during the
war the tremendous and artificial de-
mand for copper allowed the growing

making substitutes for copper. They
are onlv substitutes, he said. but they
are still being used. This business

HOMES EXEMPT
FROM ENTRY BY
DRY OFFICERS
SANS WARRANT
Prohibition Leaders Declare
No Recess Will be Grant
ed Until Bill Passes
HEAVY FINES PROVIDED
Conferees Favor Punishment
of Officers Who Fail to
Use Legal Methods

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. The
conference report on the anti-beer
bill, definitely agreed on today and
presented to the senate, exempts a
mans home from search without war
rant obtained in due course of law but
requires no warrant to search other
property provided an officer acts
without malice and has reasonable
cause to suspect the presence OF
liquor.
Along with the presentation of the
report, word reached the senate that
prohibition leaders of the house had
declared there would be no recess of
congress until the measure had beer
finally enacted. Senate leaders, on
the other hand. announced that it was
hopeless to expect senate acceptance
in view of the rejection by The cor-
ferees of the Stanley amendment.
passed unanimously and designed to
protect the home and other property
from indiscriminate search through
imposition of heavy penalties.
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Arizona
who 'bolted" the conference early in
the week, and Representative Dyer,
Republican. Missouri, failed to sign
the report. II was approved. however
by Senators Sterling and Nelson, Re-
publicans. and Representatives Vol
stead, Republican, and Summers, Tex
as, Democrat
The only point at issue in final de-
liberations of the managers was the
searching provision. In reaching a
compromise, both the senate and
house amendments on the subject
were discarded In their place the
conferees adopted the following sec
tion:
Section 6: That any officer. agent
or employe OF the United States, en-
gagged in the enforcement of this act,
or the national prohibition act, or any
other law of the United States, who
shall search any private dwelling IS
defined in the, national prohibition act
and occupied as such a dwelling with
out warrant directing such search,
and who, while so engaged, shall with
out search warrant. maliciously and
without reasonable cause search any
other building or property, shall be
guilty of misdemeanor and upon
conviction thereof, shall be fined
first offense not more than $1,000.
and for subsequent offense, not
more than $1,000 or Imprisonment,
not more than one year, or both, such
fine and Imprisonment.
Whoever not being an officer, agent
or employe of the United States, shall

assumed character, shall arrest or de.
