'BLOCFORMING
TENDENCIES OF
SENATE WORRY
Danger of New Snarl
in Upper House
Irks Harding.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o-President
Harding is viewing with grave concern
the prospect If the Senate getting into
a legislative snarl after the reopening
of Congress tomorrow, it became known
today.
The question of Senate leadership Is
not involved in the situation. The grow
ing disposition of Senators, whether they
be Republicans or Democrats, TO divide
themselves off. to form blocs, virtually
has left the Senate with only nominal
leaders.
Party lines are being ignored, the
Presidents wishes are being disregarded
or fiaunted. as Republican Senators line
up with their Democratic colleagues In
organizing combinations or groups in
support of, or in opposition to pending
legislation.
The agricultural "bloc" was the begin
ming. Its success in forcing through leg
islation intended to benefit the farmers
has led TO the making of other "blocs"
despite the Presidents open disapproval
of the bloc" idea.
While the agricultural "bloc',~is threat
ening to upset Senator Penrose's pre-
diction that the tax bill will not con-
sumo more than two weeks of senatorial
consideration, another bloc" composed
of Republican and Democratic Senator'S
opposed TO the Rnti-beer bill, is prom
ising to make fresh trouble. Panama
tolls and disarmament are two other moot
questions about which Republicans and
Democrats are alike prepared to have
much to say.
Senator Penross will report the tax
bill tomorrow. Under the rules of the
Senate it will lie over until the following
day when ne will seek to have considera-
tion Of it began. The Senate, as we'll as
the House, propatly will adjourn soon
after recovering tomorrow.

will depend whether OF not a booze
ring centering in Indianapolis and
powerful enough to influence the Gov

These three men, who are under

is held responsible for the recent
theft of ten barrels of whisky from
the Government guarded Commercial
distiliery at Terre Haute.
Back of the theft of this whisky, a
procedure almost as bold as the loot
ing Of a Government suotreasury,
there is a story of tremendous pull"
of misplaced public confidence and
of Government failure and inedi-
cheney.
Several weeks ago, when agents Of the
United States Department of Justice were
about to close in on the liquor gang, in
cluding the powerful influences that were
protecting the tools, they were instructed
