SURPRISED TO FIND
BOAT so LARGE
Victoria, 90-foot Launch,
With Luxurious Cabins,
Greets Travellers Eyes.
By w. b. MACNAMEEX.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Jan. "a
Temporarily casting aside political
cares, President-elect Warren G.
Harding spent the first day of his
winter vacation playing his fayorite
game Of golf in the diamond clear
Florida sunlight
A big and enthusiastic crowd was
waiting at the station when Mr..
Harding's train pulled into st. Au-
Eustine at 10 o'clock this morning,
and gave the elect a joy
Gus and noisy welcome.
From palatiaI hotels and back
street cabins of this quaint Spanish
town, the oldest in the United States
poured a steady stream of people
anxious to extend the glad hand of
welcome t othe next President. AZ
ter shaking hands with the nearest
of the waiting throug at the station
President-eleC Harding motored
through the palm arbored streets
direct to Ponce de Leon Hotel, where
he was greeted by Senator FreIin-
huysen Of New Jersey, whose guest
he will be on the houseboat Victoria
for a two weeks trip down the
Florida coast. Senator Fall of New
Mexico, DR.. Ely of New York, Henry
P. Fletcher, former Ambassador to
Mexico; Harry NJ. Daugherty and
George Christian r. Mr.. Hardings
private secretary. and Miles McCa-
hill of the Secret Service are the
other members of the houseboat
party.
Exceeds Expectations.
Following a round of golf on one
of st. Augustine courses, the Presi-
dent-eleCt and his party returned
late in the afternoon to the city.
and boarded the white craft that
for the next two weeks will be their
home. Harding expressed surprise
upon his view ofthe Victoria, as
she is not strictly speaking, a
houseboat, but a 9O-foot, commo-
dious cruising launch, with luxuri-
Gus cabins amidships.
Promptly at o'clock this after
noon. to the accompaniment OF
cheers from the whitehead throngs
on shore. the flag decked victoria
with the President-eleCt's party
aboard weighed anchor and dropped
down the Indian River toward the
South. Seaplanes scared low over
the trim craft as she picked up
speed.
Go TO Palm Beach and Miami.
The party will go as far south
as Palm Beach and Miami, 300 miles
distant, making at least two stops.
one at Ormond and another at Rock
ledge. The Victori will tie up each
night, and will loaf southwark on
day cruises. A full equipment of
fshing tackle was loaded on board
today, and this will be about the
only recreation indulged in through
out the "trip, as the President-elec
plans to have plenty of leisure to
prepare his inaugural address,
which he expects to complete by the
time the party reaches Miami. The
trip back to st. Augustine, where
Mr.. Harding will stay until March !,
will be made either by rail or mosor
; car.
Tonight. the Victoria will tie up
at Summer Haven, a short distance
south Of here, and tomorrow will
proceed to Ormond. 1t is probable
that the party may put mat Day
tona. and take on board Senator
Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa, who is
there recuperating from a recent ILL
ness.

Automobile Gu1lnrdn
Stays Unidentified Man

Fearing apparently. that he was
being pursued, and seeking refuge
in a private residence at 1907 First
street northwest, an unidentified
man, aged about IS years, shortly
before IL o'clock last night, was
shot and instantly killed as he
placed his foot on the first step lead
ing to the house.
The single shot, which penetrated
the heart of the victim as he at
tempted to fee, was fired from an
automobile The automobile sped
away with as little notice as IL had
created slipping up behind the man.
Police did not secure a descrip-
tion of the slayer, who was said 70

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Amidst a
shower of flowers flung by hundreds
Of admirers and friends, Ludwig c.
A. X. Martens, soviet Russia's un-
recognized Ambassador to the Unit
ed States, boarded the liner Stock
holm this afternoon to return home
as a deportee

Party of 81.
There were ffty-one persons in
Martens party including his wife
and their two children, ami Greg
ory Weinstein, an associate. They
arrived at the pier shortly before
. o'clock and found a crowd Of
about 200 waiting outside the in
closure to greet them.
Pausing just long enough to say
that he hoped to return some day as
Russia's recognized envoy and that
he was leaving many friends be-
hind, Martens made his way to the
pier, followed by members of his
party. The port authorities had
barred everybody from the pier
until the deportees were safely
aboard, 1900 applications for passes
having been refused. The party
went Immediately to their state
rooms. The deportees were taken
TO the steerage.
Strains from the InternationaIe. -"
sung by friends Of the CepOrtees,
standing in the rain outside, greeted
the party as they climbed the gang
planks, leaving American soil be-
hind them.
Discusses Stay Here.
While waiting for the steamship
to pull out Martens discussed his
stay here briefly, declaring that he
was glad to leave the country ''Un-
der present conditions"
He predicted that the United
States would recognize Russia in
the future and made it plain that
he is entertaining an ambition to
return as a recognized ambassador.
AS other passengers were filing
aboard a woman ran up the gang
plank and handed the departing en-
voy a big bouquet of American
Beauty roses.

ish ports, Sweden having granted
permission for the envoy to land

ARMY FLIER DIES,

Lieutenant Fl. J. Spauld.
ing Lost i'm Fog Near
Elkton, Md.

Confused in a fog while speeding
from Boiling Field to Philadelphia
First Lieutenant Harry ]. Spaulding
attached to the office of the chief
of the army air service, crashed to
earth two miles north of Elkton
Md, with his single-seat scout plane
at 1855 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and was burned to death amid the
wreckage.
Nothing was left of the plane but
heap of frame and metal parts
when persons who had been watch.
ing the flyer as he dipped low above
the tree-tops arrived at the scene
of the disaster. Identification was
established by cuff-links and belt,
buckle monogrammed III. ]. s."
1t was an hour after he SCARED
from Boiling Field with portfolio
of air service papers bound for Phil
adelphia that Spaulding was killed
He was then about eighty miles
north of Washington and had beer
delayed by fog and forced to land
at the ordnance proving grounds
at Aberdeen, Nd. His second at,
tempt at landing was fatal. The
machine struck the top of a cedar
tree, swerved into an embankment
and turned turtle, the engine ex-
ploding with a loud report.
Officers at Aberdeen were notified
and left at once to take charge OF
the remains, which were temporarily
placed in an undertaker's chapel al
Elkton.
Brings Word to Sister.
News of the crash came to Boiling
Field as soon as communication
could be established. Those in
charge hesitated to bear word of the
death to Miss Martha Spaulding.
the young officers sister, at her
suite in the Wyoming apartment. 1t
was Maj. H. NJ. Hickam, chief OF
the information group of the air
chiefs office and Spaulding's su-
perior, who carried information of
the disaster to her. Miss Spaulding
could not be seen last night.
Lieut.. Spaulding was a graduate
of st. Mary's College at Emmitts-
burg, Md. and received his commits
sion in the army several years ago.
He was about 80 years old. He lived
at the Army and Navy Club.
1t was fog, one of the birdman's
most dreaded foes, which alone
caused Spaulding's crash, officers at
Boiling Field believe.
Plane in Good shape.
His plane, an English model
known as the S. Els, though not
an all-metal one, was regarded as
trustworthy and in good shape at
the take-off. 1t is believed he found
it impossible to gauge his approach
to the earth accurately because OF
the fog.
The plane came down at McClin-
tock farm, two miles north of Elk
ton. Spaulding was seen to circle
over the village two or three times,
the roar of his motor SO loud that
residents, feared he would plunge
into the streets. Men at work on
the farm ran to the scene immedi-
ately, but the heat of the burning
gasoline rendered close approach
impossible and the aviator's body
was charred to a crisp beofre Il
could be extrinated.

THE sash Is one of those items of
4 dress whose sole mission Is to be
ornamental. We have it with us this
summer in many developments, from
narrow girdles with floating ends that
are mere finishing touches Of color, to
gorgeous affairs made of brilliant
brocaded ribbons, that dominate the
costume. The dress becomes a back
ground for these pretentiOus acces-
sOries when they are made of such
splendid stuff.
On midsummer dresses of sheer
materials sashes are often made of
the same fabric as the dress, and oc-
casionally, narrow ribbon Is used with
these fabric sashes. Girdles Of fabric
finished with bows and long ends of
narrow ribbon make happy cOmbina-
tion, but the handsomest and dressiest
sashes remain, as they always have
been, of ribbons. Three of them are
illustrated here, found among the SIM
pier designs, for sashes have been
much elaborated by combining ribbons
Of different colors In them and by rib
bon flowers and ornaments. The broad
Egyptian sash, tied in front and held
by some sort of jewelry, is seen on
some of the smart imported models.

W0RKMEN UNCOVER
TWO INDIAN SKULLS
Discovery Is Made AT Ghost
Hill, Near Fredericktown
Last Saturday

While workmen were making an ex-
cavati0n along the Fredericktown-Lev
ering pike, close by an elevation
known as Ghost Hill. about one-eighth
of a mile from Fredericktown, they
uncovered last Saturday two skulls.
These skulls were brought to Mt
Vernon by Contractor Grubb and ex-
hibiteQ, j."
Ones of the skulls is abnormally
large Indicating that the person who
had owned 1t in life had been almost
of giant proportions. The teeth es-
pecially were in good state of pres
ervatiOn. The skull was in unusually
good condition, much better than the
second which was more or less brok-
Ell.
The skulls were found close togeth-
er. The workmen calculated from
appearances that the bodies had been
buried In n sitting position. mas
much as this Is known to have been
an Indian custom some ground seems
to exist for the surmise that the bones
are OF Indians although no positive
identification has been possible.
At the place where the skulls were
found there was only about two feet
of earth covering them. Since the
men have been working on the Fred
ericktown.Levering pike they Have
from time to time uncovered num-
Der OF bones and parts OF bodies. Lit
tie attention has been paid to them
other than to gather the bones into u
heap.
AT the place where the bones have
been found the top soil is from eight
to twelve inches deep. Under 1t is
stratum or layer of gravel. In plae,
es, between the top soil and the grav.
el, have been found evidences of
oampflres. ashes and charred bits.
Ghost hill may have had its origin
at the time of that mysterious race
known as the Mound Builders who
have left their traces In many parts
of Ohio. There are two of these
mounds near Fredericktown the near.
