HARDING APPEALS
TO PUSH PASSAGE
OF SUPPLY BILLS
Asks House and Senate
Chiefs to Clear Decks
During Session.

President-elect Harding threw his
influence today into the Congress
sionaI struggle against legislative
jam which renders it almost certain
that the army and navy appropria-
tion bills will have to be passed at
the special session of the new Con-
gress. He appealed for special ef-
forts by Republican leaders for pas
sage of all the supply bills.
House Leader Mondell and Senate
Leader Lodge, to whom Harding ad-
dressed kilograms, replied that every
possible effort would be made to
pass the appropriation bills. Mon
dell very tactfully passed the buck
to the Senate by promising the
President elect that the House
would complete its part of the task
by Thursday night.
Doubt Prevalent.
The Senate situation is such that
nothing short of a decision by Sen
ators to permit the army and navy
bills to slip through without debate
on the controversial provisions they
contain can bring about the result
desired by Harding. The hours
wasted in time-killing speeches
prompted bv the Fordney tariff bill
has put the Senate into such a hole
that the Republican leaders are not
at all hopeful that the legislative
decks may be cleared of all appro-
priatiOn bills. Lodge said he was
Obliged to entertain serious doubts
that the army and navy bills could
be passed.
Harding desires that Congress be
in a position to consider the new
Republican tariff and revenue bill,
and such other special measures as
he may care to urge at the specia
session he is to call for the latter
part of March.
Telegram to Lodge.
Harding's telegram to Senate
Lodge follows:
II have been learning of the dan
ger of the failure of some of tn,
appropriation bills at this session
of the Congress. I am reluctant t,
intrude my views or to in any wa.
suggest what Representatives ough
to do, but l feel free to say to yoI
that 1t would be exceedingly graft
flying If Congress could clear al
appropriation bills out of our wa.
during the present sessions.
Such a course would greatly sim
plify the IMPORTANT work which
will have to be taken up at tn
extra session of the new Congress
I am sure you will eonstrue this ex
preston as one which 1 find justifie'
because of my former association
and the importance 1 attach t
prompt action by the next Congress
in dealing with pressing problems.
Reply to Harding.
Senator Lodge replied as follows
Telegram received. Am in abso
lutte agreement with you and hav
been laboring for the passage of tn
appropriation bills from the begin
ming Of the session. Am doing ev
erything in my power now in tha
same direction. / am glad to ge
your telegram. Shall continue t
make every effort to get all tn
appropriation bills through that ar
possible" ~.
Tho exchange of messages be
tween Harding and Mondell differe
only as to verbiage, aside from tn
House leaders effort to clear tn
skirts of that body for possible fail
ure Of some of the bills.

DEBS MAY AGAIN
SECURE HIS FREEDOM.

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-Attor-
ney General Daugherty is considering
making recommendations on the ques-
ton OF general amnesty to all political
prisoners, he said today.
II hs decides ON such action the case
of Eugene v. Debs probably will be in
cluded with others, and will not be
treated separately, as was his original
intention.
His decision will be made as soon az
he coreers with the senate judiciary
committee and action possibly may be
withheld until congress gives its opi:i-
ion on the measure of general amnesty
which the senate committee is first to
consider.
Daugherty denied that he had laid
down conditions Debs must live up to
before obtaining pardon when Debs
was here last week.

CLASSROOM FIRST;
ATHIsRTICS LATER.

In dropping from Its roll star ath-
letes who became delinquent in scholar
ship, Princeton il adhering to the ad-
mirable rule followed. by other great
colleges and universities. That insist
ence upon classroom standing for ath-
letes is not universal among an colleges
in this country, both great and small,
is unfortunate.
Athletics are an important part Of
college training, but they are subord-
mate to the classroom. Wherever facul-
ties forget or ignore this relation moral
decay begins. The luster which champ
ionship teams cast on such institutions
quickly fades, and the very object
which a false eminence of athletics
is expected to accomplish is lost
College athletics thrive best where
every participant toes the mark in his
classroom.

sHouP PROMPTLY ACCEPTS
MURPHY's R1BIoSATIoN.

DENVER, March 31.@Late last night
Commissioner Murphy Of the land board
sent q letter to Governor Shoup, the
first two paragraphs Of which stated
that, when he received the governor q
request for him to resign he had de-
cided to obey the governor g demand.
In the last two paragraphs Of his let
ter to the governor, Mr.. Murphy re-
ferred to an interview with the gov
ernor that was printed in the Denver
papers, and asked Shoup if he gave the
interview and what he meant by some
of the sentences which reflected on Mr..
Murphy's official life as member Of
the land board.
The governor sent a letter stating
that he did not include newspaper in.
terviews in official documents. The
governor pad no attention to the last
two paragraphs of Mr.. Murphy's letter,
but accepted the first two paragraphs
at their face value and replied as fol
lows:
"Your resignation has been received
and accepted. l will send the name OF
your successor to the senate immediate
ly."
Without doubt, Mr.. Murphy did not
intend his letter as letter Of resigna
ton.
The amusing part of it is that Mr
Murphy hired a lawyer to write the
letter.
State house fans are wondering
whether Mr.. Murphy will accept the
guhernatoIial joke on himself or viii
fight.

TWO TEDIOUS CASES TAKE
TIME OF DISTRICT COURT.

This has been . busy week in the
district court, and yet not very much
has been accomplished. That is to say,
the week has been almost completely
occupied by two cases, which have
proved exceedingly tedious.
The first was trespass case, or rath-
er, an ejectment case, brought by An
drew Safer, present owner Of the old
Hoover & Moore, or the o. B. Fleming
ranch, near Silt, against o. B. Finn,
former tenant on this ranch, and owner
of another ranch below it, and watered
by ditch from the Grass Valley canal
and extending about 1900 feet through
the Safer ranch, to the great detriment
of the property, according to the claim
of the plaintiff, which charge is denied
by the defendant.
Safer claims this ditch was not in
existence when he bought his ranch,
while Finn claims it extended across
the Safer ranch and was used below
on Finn g ranch long before Safer ever
saw his present ranch. Apparently it
is largely question of veracity be-
tween Safer and Finn and their wit
nesses as to whether a right of way
had been acquired by Finn across the
present Safer ranch prior to or since
the time when Safer acquired the prop
erty.
Matters became rather entertaining
to the spectators at times while the evil
dence was being taken and Judge Shn-
mate was more than once obliged to
caution the attorneys and their clients
and to remind them of what constituted
good manners in the court room. The
case has not yet been argued by the
attorneys, but has been continued until
the convenience Of all concerned.
Another case almost as tedious as the
above is that of j. Frank Taughen
baugh versus o. B. Webb and Mrs. !
B. Ripple. This is case in which
Webb, who was tenant last year on
the Taughenbaugh ranch, was sued by
his landlord on promissory notes given
for two years. rental on the Taughen'
baugh ranch, one-third of a three-year
tenancy having been paid in cash when
Webb took possession.
Inasnuch a. Mr.. and Mrs. Ruple en-
dorsed the notes in question, they are
made parties defendant along with Nj
Webb. A number of intricate law
points are involved in the case, which
like the one preceding it, has been quite
we'll drawn out, and has not been CON
cluded at the time the Post goes ia
press.
While the Bershenyi murder trial has
been set for hearing next Monday, it
is not definitely settled yet as to wheth'
er the case will be heard then, ol
whether it will be heard at all At this
term of court. At this writing jurors
have not been summoned, and the dis
trict attorney and the attorneys FOL
the defendant are trying to arrive al
some definite understanding as to when
the case will be tried.
