which has Just come to a head in
his message.
The president feels deeply on the
subject of the agricultural bloc"
and the way it exerted its influence
in the making of the tax bill, and
here is his rebuke:
Il believe the political party in
power should assume responsible

conference which supplements con-
yenions and election campaigns,
and then strive for achievement
through adherence to the accepted

This was the doctrine of Wood

latter believed in the function of
the elected president as the party

also shows signs of accepting.

Springfield, Ill. Dec. 7.-Charg-

aimed against State President

International President John L..

Attacks Kansas Assessment
The first appeal denies the right
OF the Peoria convention to assess
Illinois miners 81 per month for
the help of Kansas miners in the
fight against the industrial court
on the ground that district IL Q1Ii-
nois) has no power to levy assess
ments for any purposes other than
its own needs"
The local Calls attention TO the
fact that two months have passed
since the convention met and state
officers have taken no action obey
ing the request for the accounting
of funds spent IN pressing the
wild cat strike" although they
have admitted they could do So"
This, the appeal says. amounts
to secession
The international had also de-
manded the accounting The local
asks that steps be taken to compel
the accounting, and to protect the
funds of district No. 12 from diver
sion to private use. I'VE further
ask the international union to bring
all its influence to bear to have
these men in Illinois, who have
brazenly defrauded district No. II,
by padded expense accounts and
other illegitimate means, and those
officials of district II who aided
them in such fraud, criminally
prosecuted
Appeal is also lodged by the same
local against maintaining a 1 per

that the district strike or defense
fund has been abolished and there
is now over 8, 900 900 at the dis
posaI of the board for general pur-
poses and no necessity for such

Washington, Dec President
Harding's address to congress is
in many respects one of the most
remarkable documents ever sent
by the executive to the legislative
branch of the government, remark
able for the many significant cir
cumstances which have made nee
essary an appeal for the solidarity
or political parties in America as
well as the plea for more executive
power with the promise that it
will be prudently exercised
Didn't Mention Party.
Mr.. Harding didn't mention the
Republican party nor did he make
reference to the agricultural bloc"
which threatens to become an in
surgent movement not unlike the
famous revolt which led to the Taft
Roosevelt split in 1912. The fact
that the president devoted the very
beginning of his address to a plea
for party harmony as against sec
uonalisn, is due To the tendency of
the agricultural west and south TO
unite as against the manufacturing
east, undermining the hold which
Democratic as well as Republican
leaders have hitherto had upon
their respective followers of the
same political party in congress.
President Harding has seen a coali-
tion of Democrats and Republicans
become SO powerful as TO force the
Republican majority 10 accept a
tax revision bill for which MI.

PRESIDENT
IS OEPOSED
Three Killed, Several Are
Wounded in Revolu-
ZIONIST Attack.

Guatemala City, Guatemala, Dec.
7.-(By the Associated Press)-
The government of President Car
los Herrera was overthrown at
midnight Monday after fighting
in which three persons were killed
and several wounded. The presi-
dent surrendered his powers to a
provisional government headed by
General Jose Maria Lima, General
Orellana, and Miguel LarraVe, for
mer under-secretary of war.
Herrera Is Prisoner.
Washington, Dec. Carlos Her
rera, whose government was over
thrown in Guatemala in a revolu-
tion which began Monday night,
was reported in advices to Ameri-
can officials today to be a prison
er in his residence. Members of
the Herrera cabinet. the advices
said, were being held in the mill
tary prison.
About a dozen persons were
killed in the revolution, the official
advices received here today said,
anu many nave DSSu dEI0SNSu- lie
Guatemalan capital was reported
quiet at the time the dispatches
were filed yesterday.
Revolt Began Monday.
The revolution. began last Mon
day at midnight and was accomp-
Iished by o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, the adVices add.
The Guatemalan legation here
had received no word of the revolt
up to IL o'clock today. Persons
here in close touch with conditions
in Guatemala, but outside official
circles, said the revolt was no sur
prise as the Liberal party, which
is believed here to have brought
about the revolution, has long been
opposed to the Herrera govern
ment, particularly in its action in
adopting the pact by which Qua
temala entered the recently created
General American Federation.
Adoption of the pact, Liberal
leaders claimed, was unconstitu-
tional, as there was not present a
quorum when the Guatemalan leg
isIature ratified the treaty.

SMALL CASE IS
HALTED TO HEAR
DIVORCE SUITS
Leforgee Later Re-
netUs Attack on In
dIcfn1enfS.

Waukegan, Ill, Dec. 7.-(By the
AssoclaIeu Press. &c. (. LeIOrgee,
chief counsel for Governor Len
Small ana Vernon Curtis, Grant
Park (IlLl banker, today renewed
the attack on The conspiracy, en-
Dezzlement and conbnencs game
indictments, Wnich charge them
with misapproprIation of state
funds.
The indictments should be qUash-
ed, Mr.. Leforgee declared, because
they are improperly drawn, vague.
uncertain and dupIiciLous.
Small M Hotel.
Governor Small remained al his
hotel again this morning to look
after state business.
The hearing was delayed for an
hour while Judge Claire c. Ed
wards called chancery docket and
heard three young women who are
seeking divorces.
MIR. Leforgee said the Indictment,
as drawn, places the state OF Illi-
nois in the position OF participat-
ing in an alleged unlawful trans
action.
The state claims, he said, that
Fred Sterling and Len Small, as
treasurers of Illinois, turned over
$4,000, 900 of state funds to an al
legged fictitious and nOn-existant
bank-the Grant Park bank-of
which Vernon Curtis and the late
Edward Curtis were supposed 10 be
officers.
State Guilty, Tool
The indictment then charges, he
said. that the Curtis brothers loan
ed the money to various individ-
ualS and corporations, collecting
interest, part of which they are
charged with pocketing, while the
remainder, approximately 2 per
cent, was turned over to the state.
If the first part of the indictment
is true and the loan of the money
to the Grant Park bank was illegal,
Mr.. LefOrgee argued, then the in
dictments charge that the state par
ticipated in the fruits of an illegal
conspiracy.
The defense then took up the en-
bezzIement indictments in which
Governor Small is personally ac-
cused of embezzling S500,0 and
the governor, Mr.. Curtis and Lieu
tenant Governor Fred E. Sterling,
Jointly with taking 100000.
Must Show IllecRlity.
The statutes expressly provide
the only manner in which money
can be legally removed from the
state treasury, the governors coun-
sci said, and there is nothing in the
indictment to show that it is charg-
ed the money alleged to have been
embezzIed was Illegally removed.
If the counts of the indictments
alleging the defendants obtained
money under false pretenses are to
stand, he added, it would be nee
essary for them to show the money
was removed from the treasury in
an illegal manner.
Governor and Mrs. Small arrived
at the courthouse at 1880 O'Clock,
the governor taking a seat at his
attorneys table.
The defense expects to complete
it's arguments late today or tomor-
row morning.
The state will then ask for an
adjournment until later in the
month to give time to prepare an
answer.
The governor complained of in
digestion during the noon recess
and did not return for the after
noon session.
