BLAMES RAIL BOARD
FOR SLOW RULINGS
Poindexter Critieises Delays in
Deciding Merits of Wage
Disputes.
New York Herald Bureau.

spec,ul Despatch to THE NEW YORK HSnArp.

u,
Washington, ID. c., May 1e.
Sharp criticism by Senator Poin-
dexter (Wash) directed against the
United States Railroad Labor Board for
delay in deciding wage disputes, was
feature to-day of the continued testi-
mony of julius Kruttschnitt, chairman
OF the Southern Pacific Railroad, In the
transportation investigation before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee.
1t grew out of discussions OF the wage
question in cross-examination OF the
witness. Senator Poindexter insisted that
the decision be made In the interest of
public service and better conditions for
the roads.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt announced that rail-
road officials who have participated in
wage hearings will appear later before
the Senate Committee to give informa-
ton on the wage question.
Asked by Mr.. Townsend (Mich.) II
the railroads would not have appeared in
a better light before the public had they
asked wage reductions before they
sought rate increases, Mr.. Kruttschnitt
said there was no escape from increased
rates and that had the roads not re-
ceived them they would have gone to
rack and ruin"
The witness contended that middlemen
are taking advantage of freight increases
to make enormous profits out of all pro-
portion to the added costs and that much
of the dissatisfaction over high rates is
psychological and due to propaganda.
In reply to questions from Senator
Pomerene, who suggested rates are SO
high as to lower, rather than increase.
railroad revenues, Mr.. Kruttschnitt said
there were two remedies: One. an ap-
peal to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission: another, conferences between
shippers and rail officers to reach un-
derstandings as to what rates ought to
be. He said the roads had practised
this policy and IL could be advantageous

Mine Planting From
Air, Latest Invention,
Tested by Aviators

Washington, March "A new
msthod OF planting mine fields, in
volving the use of air craft and a
special type mine equipped with a
parachute, has been the subject of
recent experiments conducted by the
navy in Chesapeake bay, it was
learned today.
The mine is the invention of
Charles Kee, mechanical engineer of
Portsmouth, Va. The mechanism
consists of the mine, anchor, cable
and silk parachutes. Large numbers
OF airplanes, each carrying a num-
Der of the mines, can be sent over
the area to be mined and the de-
vices dropped at regular intervals.
The parachute eases the descent to
the exact spot selected and the in
stant the mine hits the water the
parachute is detached and floats
away. The mine anchor sinks to
the bottom, and a predetermined
amount of cable is automatically re-
leased, allowing the mine to rise
to the required distance from the
surface.

NEW PRESIDENT TAKES
OATH AT EXACTLY l:18
Retiring Executive Does Not
Attend Ceremony, Due TO
His Physical Con-
dition.

Washington, March 4.-Warres
q. Harding OF Ohio and Calvin
Coolidge of Massachusetts, were in
augurated today president and vice
president of the United States. Mr..
Harding took the oath at LIS p. m.
and Mr.. Coolidge at l2:2l p. III.
After leaving the senate chamber
and while waiting for the guests to
assemble on the cast portico, Mr..
Harding went TO the presidents
room. lie then started for the cast
portico, preceded by the justice OF
the supreme court and followed by
the diplomatic corps.
The president-elect met the retir-
ing vice-prcsidcnt and greeted him
with:
Come along it il isn't torture"
at isn't torture" responded Mr..
Marshall, "but heretofore ! have
been going ahead instead of follow
ing after" 49,.
Mrs. Harding Nearby.
Mrs. Harding. wrapped in a great
fur cloak, took her place just to the
right of the speakers stand. The
president-elect took the oath on
George Washington's bible at 1:18
p. m, few moments after he
reached the stand and after the Ma
rine band had played the Star Span
gled Banner, began his inaugural
address. The voice amplifier ap-
parently was working successfully,
for the big crowd listened attentively
far out to its fringes.
Mr.. Harding read from "a finely
printed manuscript cut in small
sheets and held in the hollow of his
left hand. He kept OIL his dark blue
overcoat during the address.
President Harding took the oath
at the exact minute of the day that
Woodrow Wilson was sworn in for
his first term eight years ago.
Speech Is Applauded.
The first applause followed the
new presidents declaration that the
republic must pursue policy of
non-involvcment i'll old world af-
fairs. AS he spoke the sentences
which followed in his prepared mai
uscript concerning other aspects of
American foreign relations, Mr..
Harding punctuated his delivery with
vigorous gestures which repeatedly
got the crowd cheering.
Mr.. Harding spoke in a clear, full
tone, proceeding more deliberately
than he usually does in public ad-
dresses. He put a solemn emphasis
on his condemnation of "super-gov-
ernnent' and the crowd responded
with another crash of applause.
Ceremony Is Simple.
The ceremonies surrounding the
inauguration of the new president
were, if anything, even more simple
than those attending the first in.
auguration of George Washington.
The usual' morning salute of naval
guns was missing and there was abb
