 comprising six coaches sent here over
 tho Chesapeake and Ohio railroad

 vance party of Marmet marchers who
 abandoned the journey to Mingo coun-
 ty late yesterday at the request of C..
 F. keeney, district mine workers presi-
 morning. The men scrambled aboard
 immediately. Most of them had spent the night walking and sitting about
 the village. Although the men show ed signs of restlessness during the last few hours of their stay here, there was no disorder.
 The main body of marchers was scattered along Indian and Lens creeks facing northeast and stra ggling toward home, in compliance with MT. keeney's wishes. The spirits of the men did not appear to have been af- fected by the sudden Change of plan. If there was discontent. it was not evident.
 Today, with their homes as their ob- l jective rather than a distant county | their destina ton, those of the men who have families apparently were speeding up tho journey.
 Dist. President Keeney spent the | night here with the contingent await ing transportation to Charleston Aside from expressing satisfaction, he had nothing to say for publication.

PLAN MONSTER DAM
 ALONG NAUGATUCK
Waterbury Aldermen Would Dam 40,. OOO, ,OOO Gallons at Source of
 This and Other Streams

A monster dam will be built at the tributaries of the Naugatuck river, in the near future if plans approved by the board of aldermen in the city of Waterbury are carried out. The plan is to conserve the water supply of the state so that enough water can be inn pounded to flush many of the rivers of the state to a sanitary condition as we'll as equalize the flow from spring freshets.
 The report of Charles H Preston, a corporation engineer who was engaged in 1914 to investigate this possibility for the corporations along the Nauga- tuck, recommends the building of a monster dam of 19O, O,OOO cubic yards of masonry construction, 1900 feet long 142 feet high, and 11S feet thick at the bottom. The plans already drawn allow for 9,OOO,OOO gallon capacity. This with dams on other streams will make it possible to impound nearly 40, O,OOO,OOt gallons and will cost well into the mil l lions to construct.

A QUANDARY ARISES
Harding Says He Can Make Recess Appointments While Former Law Opinion Denies His Privilege.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Official opin- ion was divided today on tho question of President Harding's authority to make recess appointments to federal posts during the present adjournment of Congress-
 The president was said to take the position that since congress stood ad- journed he had, under the law, the right to make the necessary recess ap- pointments for carrying on the work of the government subject to the ap- proval of the senate, where necessary, when that body re-assembles.
 A memorandum prepared for Attor- ney Gen. Daugherty after close study of the subject by the department of justice officials, however, cites an opin- ion by former Attorney Know. which held that where the congress adjourn ed sine die, the president was entitled to name appointees but where the l date of re-assembly was fixed, as in l the present case, the president could l not make appointments necessary of | confirmation during the recess.

 Weekly athletic meets were held on each ground under the supervision o1 MT. Rourke and about HOO children took part each week.
