HARDING STANDS
 BEHIND BIG U. s.
 NAVY PROGRAMME
President-eIect Desires Con- tinuation of Present BuiId- ing Programme Without
 Substantial Reduction
By Associated Press

Washington, February 25.-The influ- ence of President-elect Harding today was thrown behind the big navy rro- gramme of the Senate naval affairs com mittee majority and against the stand of the House for decreased appropriations for the naval programmes.
 The views of the President-elect were set forth in a letter received by prom inent Senate republican and quickly reached the party rank and file in both Senate and House. Party leaders promptly predicted that MT. Harding s letter would have potent influence in the forthcoming contest in the Senate over the naval appropriations. which ware 1pz creased $l00,ooo0o0 by the Senate naval committee.
 The President-elect in his letter, it was desiring continuation of the present naval building programme without sub stantial reduction.
 No reference was made by Mr. Harding in his letter, it was stated, to the dls- armament proposal of Senator Borah re- publican, Idaho. Republican and demo- cratic leaders, however, joined in private predictions that the Borah resolution, res Questing the President to call naval disarmament conference of representa- tives of the United States, Great Britain and Japan, would be adopted by the Senate either In the form of separate resolution or as rider to the appropria- tion bill. Senator Borah is understood to favor the latter course.
 The appropriation bill was presented formally during the day in the Senate As reported, it carried $496 900 against $395, ,000 600 voted by the House.

HARDING CONFIRMS,
 HOOVER SELECTION.
President -eIect Holds Former Food Administrators Con-
 ditions Merely StipuIations
By Associated Press

St. Augustine, Fla, February 25.-- Formal selection of Herbert C. Hoover to be Secretary of Commerce was am nounced by President-elec Harding here today as the continuation of an interesting interchange which momen- tarily overshadowed every other fea- ture of the cabinet situation.
 MT. Harding said the conditions on which the former food administrator accepted the post had been found en- tirely satisfactory and that the inci- dent could be regarded as closed. He expressed confidence that his chosen head of the commerce department would prove a willing member of the official family of the coming adminis- tration
 Under questioning, the President elect added that he did not regard the conditions laid down by Hoover as "stipulations," and could not consider the case as different from others in which prospective appointees had dis cussed definite policies with him before accepting. He said he not only ap- proved the departmental reorganfzationI plan submitted by MT. Hoover as condition of acceptance, but had found himself in perfect accord" with it.
 Particular attention had been att tracted to the negotiations between the two men because it has been well known that MT. Hoover was from tho first a storm center of the cabinet list Strong pressure for his appointment was brought to bear from various quarters and adverse recommendations also came in from many republicans throughout the countryz He was con- spicions politically for his support of the League of Nations and for his ap- proval of President Wilson's plea for the election of a democratic Congress in 1918.
 Coincident with his announcement of the Hoover selection Mir. Harding per- sonally confiirmed for the time that he contemplates the appointment of Henry Wallace of Des Moines Ia., as Secre- tary of Agficulture. The selection of MT. Wallace. who is an editor of farm publications, has been generally known for several weeks. but hitherto the President-elect has declined to dis ct1sc if

 UNSEATED IN HOUSE
McLane Is Charged With vio- Iating Corrupt Practices
 Act
By Associated Press

Washington, February 25.-Patrick McLane of Scranton. democrat repre- sentative from the Tenth Pennsylvania district, was unseated by the House late tonight on. charges of violating the corrupt practices act and because of election frauds.
 Immediately after taking this action. the House adopted report by the committee on elections declaring John R. Farr. republican,, also of Scranton, duly elected and entitled to McIanes 6 seat. The vote to put McLane out was 161 to 221.
 Charges by the committee that liquor dealers and brewers stood behind Mc- Lane threw the House into an intense- ly bitter wrangle.
 The House held that McLane should be unseated for violating the corrupt practices act and because of wholesale election frauds. It's report was unan- imous
 Representative Bland. democrat, vir- ginia. member of the committee, de- clared the case was one where repub- licans and democrats stood on com mon ground and that McI.ane had been put forward as candidate against Farr, because the latter had voted in Congress for the prohibition amendment and for restriction of im- migration.
 McLaue, who came to this country from Ireland at the age of seven. spoke in his own behalf and made the first reference to the Newberry case which figured largely in the discussion.
 MT Farr said when the contest was started McLane declared. that the case was similar to that of Senator Newberry. Chairman Da,linger. as- sume, knows about the Newberry case, and his opinion of it as applied to the corrupt practices act would be Inter- esting. That law is a fraud
 Representative Bee democrat, Texas. asserted there was no question Senator .Newberry had spent more than the la W allowed and that he still retained his seat and yet. he added. "the House is asked to expel a member whose friends spent more money in less proportion
 Chairman Dallinger said the evidence showed McLane's election was "the most outrageous in- history and there was gross conspiracy to detraud.
 Protesting against the committees 4 findings. Representative Garrett. demo- crat. Tennessee. said statements al- ready filed by members elected to the next Congress showed their expendi- lures exceeded amounts fixed by the corrupt practices act.
 Farr was sworn in just before mid night. For the six legislative days re- maining during which he will serve. tho new member will draw salary and incl dental expenses approxlmating s2lo0O. McLane already has drawn his pay to date eoand will lose only six days salcry.

 of One Year
By Associated Press

Washington, February Photographed labor will endeavor to prevent the final passage of the pending Dilling- ham bill restricting immigration to 8 per cent of number of aliens in each nationality in the country in 1910. as the first move under the new legisla- resentatives of the national and inter- national unions affiliated in the Ameri- can Federation of Labor.
 Announcement was made today at the federation headquarters that the Legislative representatives of the or ganization would attempt to obtain substitution of the Johnson bill, vir- tually prohibiting mfgratfon Tor oiie year, for the Dillingham; proposal. The latter was passed by the Senate and an agreement on it by Senate and House conferees is now pending in tne House.
 Legislative representatives of or ganized labor also have been h. structed to press their efforts to obtain a congressional investigation into conditions in the strike area in Wes. Virginia
 Whether labor will attempt to bring about introduction of a bill at the extra session of Congress for the repeal of the Sherman antitrust act will depend, according to information today, upon what action is taken to exempt labor organizations from lia : bility under that law.
 Counsel for the United Mine Workers and other international organizations were said to have begun preparation of final details of bill to be introduced in the extra session that would legallze union organization work in all lines of industry, despite any individual coa- tracts made between employer and employe not ot join a trades union.
 Plans for the new publicity campaign to be waged by the xederation were being completed today, while the ex- ecutive council was in session discuss ing means for raising the money necessary for the movement.

HOUSE DEFEATS
 MUSCLE SHOALS BY CLOSE VOTE
With Cry of "WasSe" Repub- Iicans Junk $100,000,000

 100000 Appropriation

 Washington. February 25.--(Special.) Since the House defeated the Muscle Shoals appropriation of SIG, 0,0o0.000 to- day, the future of the Wilson Dam, destined in the beginning to become one of the real wonders of the world. the nitrate plants. and the prospect of farmers securing high grade fertilizer cheaply. is shrouded in doubt. The vote was 193 to 1892.
 Secretary Baker declined tonight to make comment IL is taken for granted that he understands that the problem will soon be delegated to the Harding administration. Senator Underwood, who saved the appropriation in the Senate, declined to speculate on the future of the properties. House mem bers were in despair, but expressed hope that after all, some solution would be reached.
 TRUSTS REJOICE
 On account of the sectional and political animus which the mere men tion of the name Muscle Shoals, arouses, there is no chance of Con- gress voting an appropriation after March when overwhelming republi- can majorities will take possession of the capitol. The organizations of farmers in Washington which valiant ly fought for the completion of the projects, openly expresses fear that the government will sell the proper ties. which cost about $100000,0 900 to a private corporation for about cents on the dollar. and that as result the farmers will receive none of the bene- fits in the form of fertilizer at other than trust made prices. s
 There is general rejoicing here to- night on the part of the lobbyists of the gunpowder and fertilizer trusts who fought the appropriation to it's death.
 still hopeful tonight that way might yet be found for obtaining favorable action. Action now, it was explained. depends to large extent on the Senate. Should 1t insist on retaining the amendment. the matter would go before the House for another vote.
 28 ARE ABSENT
 House proponents of the project were hope of- acceptanos~ of the appropria. ton should there be another vote pointing out that the majority against the amendment today was only II with 2s of their number absent. The conference report on the bill was re- ceived in the Senate late today, bu, went over on request of Senator Un- derwood. Alabama. in charge of the Muscle Shoals item. who said he wanted time in which to look jt over
 The conferees of the two houses will have to hold another meeting on sew era1 disagreements on amendments, in cluding Muscle Shoals. before the bill is finally put through the legislative stages. Twenty-seven republicans
