dent Harding was given the homo
rary degree of Doctor of Laws by the
college of William & Mary today at
exercises of installation for DR.. J.

increased patriotic attention to the
national educational systems and
praised the part played in American
history by the institution which is
the second oldest college of the coun-
try and among whose graduates are
numbered three presidents of the
United States.
Before coming here the President
delivered an address from the spot
in Yorktown where Lord CORVALLIS
surrendered the British forces of the
revolution to General Washington, in
1871, and announced to the world a
policy of Anglo-American friendship
for all future time.
The United States and Great Bri-
tain, the President asserted, had con-
secrated a long time friendship by
associations in the common sacrifice
of the world war and found them
selves "arrayed" in a truseeship for
the preservation of civilization. He
spoke also a word of gratitude for
the aid given by France in re revo-
luton and declared the time had
come for world wide cooperation and
amity among nations.

Senator Underwood, of Alabama,

the courts would be several years in
interpretating it.

General Diaz Is
Arriving in N. Y,
Given an Ovation

New York, Oct. 19.-General Diaz,
who led the armies of Italy to vic
tory in the great war, was welcomed
to New York today with cheering un-
surpassed since the city hailed the
military men of America on their
return from the battlefields of
France. Thousands of his own
countrymeR residents in the Italian
colonies of the city, shouted "Viva
Diaz" and "Viva Italia," with fervor
as the general rode through three
miles of the business streets to his
hotel. Office workers in down town
skyscrapers showered the procession
with confetti, paper and flying
streams of ticker-tape, reviving me-
mories of the great celebration when
the armistice was signed. General
Diaz remarked the spirit was akin
to that of his own countrymen.

ter who is charged with the killing
of Father James E. Coyle, Catho-
lie priest, took the stand in his own
defense late today.
Father Coyle, it has been alleged.

of the latter's belief that his daugh-

by the Catholic church. On the day
of the shooting, the witness said, he
believed Ruth had run away but he
was unaware that she had married
Pedro Gussman, Catholic.
Describing his visit to Father Coyle
Stephenson said:
Il told him my daughter was away
from home and would appreciate it
if he would tell me where she was.
He said he didn't know anything
about it,"
Says Priest Struck First
Rev. Stephenson testified that he
did not intend going to the rectory
until he saw Father Coyle sitting on
the porch. When he entered he sat
down in a chair, he stated, until he
was struck by the priest after, he
said, he had called Father Coyle a

Many Are of Belief a
Settlement Will Be
Effected
IS UP TO LABOR BOARD
Maintenance of Way Is
One of Unions Not
Willing to Quit

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Preparation
for the various moves through which
it is hoped the threatened rail strike
will be averted were completed today
and tomorrow the peace efforts will
be in full swing.
Tonight heads of the unions and
of the carriers were silently alert
with, figuratively speaking, one eye
on the conference tomorrow between
the Big Five raj lunion leaders and
the Railroad Labor Board, and the
other on meetings of officials of ele-
ven unions which have mott vet Joined
hte conductors, enginemen, trafnnefy
firemen and switchmen in a strike or
der, for both sides were agreed that
out of these conferences would come
the final decision as to whether a
general walkout of rail employees
would materialize.
Rests With Labor Board
In the conference with the Labor
Board rested the possibility of the
Big Five being pursuaded to cancel
their order for walkout, while in
the meetings of the eleven unions
which actually started today, was to
he decided whether these organiza-
tions, holding the balance of man
power through numbering three
fourths of the nearly 100000 rail
workers in their membership, would
join the Big Five if they walk out
October 80, as planned.
While the Big Five conference was
looked on as the most important of
the peace moves, railroad men to-
night professed to see signs of a
peaceful settlement of the difficulties
in the attitude of B. M. Jewell, head
of the 476,000 members of the six
railway shop craft organizations and
f j. c. Smoak, vice-president of the
Maintenance of Way union, which

The shop craft executive council
met today but took no action, other
than to call in the conference COM

tion by calling in the 1000 general
,hairmen for meeting Friday when

oably will be known.

HUNDRED CARS IN
MOTORCYCLE WHICH
GOES TO HASTINGS
Palatka Will Call On
Sister City With
a Serenade
EVERYBODY IS INVITED
Is First of Other Such
Trips to Palatka's
Neighbors

Palatka's initial visit to neighbor-
ing communities, headed by the Pa
latka Concert Band, is an assured
success. The Hastings trip scheduled
for this evening has found such gen.
eral favor as to establish these visits
as welcome diversion. Tonight at
six o'clock the motorcade will form
on First street, between Lemon and
the bridge, and when organized will
depart in single file for Hastings. The
departure will be not later than six
fifteen.
This will be another time when
Hastings will be crowded if the pro-
misses so far received are any cri
terion. Grand Marshall John Q.
Tilghman has arranged for seats for
one hundred from .Palatka and. is
busily engaged in securing automoy
biles for the band and all those de-.
string to hear the first out of town
concert.
The highway to Hastings will be
blocked with the eastbound cars and
there will be no fast driving or any
cars permitted TO pass those in the
line This has been assured through
the appointment OF the following
aids to the Grand Marshal: Frank
Wagner, Will Merriam, Arthur
Corcoran, George Hilty, Earnest
Rowton, Earnest Mobley, j. B. Dar-
by, Morris Cc4hrane, Herman Lecks,
jim Hart and Ridley Wilkinson.
Only one man has flatly refused
to go with the motorcade and his OBJ
lection was that the parade did not
pass his house. If time permits it is
possible that the line of the parade
will be altered so as not to leave
anyone at home tonight.
These community visits are for the
enjoyment Of Palatkans as well as
for the people of the other towns
visited. A committee of the Chamber
of Commerce went to Hastings yes
terday and perfected all arrange
ments for the reception and comforts
of the Palatka delegation. Hastings
is most enthusiastic with the good
spirit that encouraged the start of
these plans and when several trips
have been made it is doubtful Pa
latka will have sufficient cars to ac-
eomodate those who will wish to
make the trips.
The main consideration of Grand
Marshall Tilghman is in having
enough automobiles to care for the
Band and at the same time carry the
crowd that will be on hand. Car own
ars can help a great deal in this by |
making up their parties of friends !
and arriving at the forming point
promptly at p. m. tonight. There
,annot be too many in line. The more
he better. The ladies of Hastings |
will care for their Palatka sisters.
In addition to the Band Concert ,
which begins at 7 p. m. Hastings has
arranged a basket ball game between
4 selected team of their players and
, team that will go from Palatka.
Director Shearouse says he will out
10 himself in the concert program
which means that the band will bring
further credit to Palatka.
