Suggests 5O-Cent
Notary Fee Limit
Inaugural Expense
Senatorial OrdtOry WAKES Hot
OUer Request for
$4,000.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Request for a
$4,000 appropriation to pay expenses Of
the Harding Inauguration ceremonies at
the capital today threw the Senate into
a ferment Of argument which at one time
threatened to end in elimination of the
inaugural ceremonies entirely.
1t was suggested that Harding be
given 90 cents to pay notary public for
administering the constitutional oath and
that his Inauguration be limited to that.
After two hours debate, the Senate
failed to decide how much to spend on
the inauguration of President Harding.
The resolution went over until tomorrow.
Senator Knox introduced the resolution
which was $4,000 larger than four years
ago. Knox explained things cost more
now.
Borah who last week announced he
would try to limit the expenses to $4,000,
predicted that If Congress set the pace
with $4,000 for the Capitol ceremonies
the Inauguration would draw from State
and Federal treasures Mt least $1,000, 600
THAT" said Borah, rs a fine start for
an administration that is consecrated to
economy"
He declared the people back home ex-
pect something besides dazzling display
from the Harding administration and de-
clared If Harding had his way. the cere
money would be severely simple BOrah
said in addition to the $4,000 asked by
Knox, 100000 would be asked by the Dis
trict of Columbia for policemen; $4,000
to bring West Point cadets to Washing
ton: $25, 600 to bring naval academy mid
shirmen and 100000 would represent the
cost Of turning the pension building over
for nm inaugural ball tN
Senator Fletcher Fla) urged Jeffer-
sonian simplicity. Overman IN. c. de-
clared Congress had been taking charge
of the Inauguration for 100 years and
should continue
Senator Nelson, Minnesota, introduced
resolution to prohibit construction OF
stands on sidewalks and I'm parks, for
the sale of seats to the public to view
the inaugural parade.
Spectators always fleece the public
here" said Nelson, "and it ought to be
stopped"
The sensational statement that S4O,0OO.-
coo Of the relief funds, raised in America
for starving Poland, was used ito keep
the Polish army in the field" was made
by Senator James f. Reed, Missouri, a
Democrat, during the debate.
'It seems to me that Jeffersoninn
democracy appears only on the skin OF
some Democrats when they are in the
minority" Senator Reed said.
1--WE entrusted one man with $150,000.-
600 for the aid of starving Europe. He
used about $40,OO0,000 for the support Of
the Polish army which was engaged in a
conflict, which was at war with a country
with which we were 1t peace"
do you mean to say that $40 600

ator Borah (Rep), Idaho, asked.
II have reports on my desk to show
that" Reed replied.

have said, but it is my impression that l
am right"

COUNTY
VOTE TO DECIDE
HOUSE SPEAKER
Local Delegations Will Also
Determine Leadership in
Senate.
BOTH CONTESTS CLOSE

The Marion County delegations today
became the pivots on which the contests
for Speaker of the House Of Representa-
tiYes and for president pro ten. of the
Senate are swinging. Nearly every one
connected with the two fights, except the
candidates themselves who each claim
success is assured, was speculating on
whether the Marion County vote would
go to John f. Mcclure of Anderon,
Governor-elec Warren I. McCrays
choice for Speaker, or Jacob d. Milten-
berger of Muncie, reputed to have the
backing of the Goodrich organization. and
whether the Senator's would swing to
Senator James J. Nedjl Of Lake County
or Senator Oscar Rats Of Paol, the
principal candidates for president pro
TEN.
Marion County has 4 candidate for
speaker in the person of Representative
Clinton II. Giyan and for president pro
TEN. in the person of Senator-elect Win
field Miller. Neither is conceded any
chance of election, but their injection
into the fights has rut Marion County in
position where It may control.
LEGISLATORS ADMIT
MARION COUNTY CONTROLS.
While both Senator and Representa-
tives refused as a rule to be quoted.
many expressed the opinion that the
races In both Houses are SO close no
ore can be elected without the support
OF the Marion County delegation. At the
same time Marion County Senator's and
Representatives almost TO a man declared
they would stand by their candidates and
that there would be no Withdrawals.
This viii enable the Marion County
delegations TO go into the carcuses to-
morrow night and test the strength Of the
leading candidates.
After the first vote it will be possible
to make trades advantageous TO the Ma
rion County Senators and Representa-
tives. 1t Is reported that promises OF
favorable committee assignments may be
sufficient to swing the caucuses one way
or another.
For this reason, friends OF the candi
dates and the candidates themselves are
working on the local delegations A
meeting Of the Marion County members
was scheduled for this afternoon, but it
was denied that there is any thought
Of Withdrawing either Of the candidates.
Another factor in the fight in the Sen
ate is tho candidacy Of Senator Don
STROBE OF Kokomo. He IS still In the
race and is expected to have some sup
port. His withdrawal in favor OF either
OF the other candidates would add CON
siderably to the favored ones chances OF
success.
There Is also a fourth candidate in
the House who has declared that he viii
