MAKES
FIRSTBOW TO
MIR. HARDING
Imposing Ceremony as Great
Flotilla Passes In
Review

OLD POINT COMFORT, VA, April
28-The Atlantic fleet, bringing
back new record of accomplish
ment from its southern drill grounds,
passed in ceremonial review before
President Harding as it entered the
home waters in Hampton Roads.
More than sixty ships Of war, led
by the flagship, Pennsylvania, were
in the long column that filed by to
pay commander in chiefs honors
to the president, as he stood with
Secretary Denby and his party of Of
ficia's on the bridge Of his yacht,
the Mayflower.
A low cloud curtain screened the
sunlight from the pageant, soften
ing the grim lines of deck and turret,
adding the hint Of the dusk Of some
great picture. Crews lined the rails
in living walls of blue as the fight
ing craft passed.
Marine guards on the quarterback
Of each vessel when opposite the
Mayflowcr snapped to present arms
the bands playing the opening bars
Of "The Star Spangled Banner"
1t was Mr.. Harding's first review
Of any part Of the nations sea pow
er since he assumed office and the
navy's first opportunity to salute
him.
With Admiral Wilson, fleet COM
mander, on the Pennsylvania stood
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt, who made he cruise from
Guantanamo. The blue and white
flag of the assistant secretary flutter-
ed from the topmast.
Following the Pennsylvania came
the battleships Oklahoma, Nevada,
Arizona, Utah, Florida, Delaware,
North Dakota, Michigan, South Ca
rolina and Connecticut. The Utah
was flying was flying the flag Of
Vice-Admiral Jones, commanding
the battleship forces.
Close behind the battleship came
the tender Blackhawk, leading three
divisions Of six destroyers each, and
thirteen submarines. The destroyers
were forced to content themselves
with less elaborate honors than those
paid the large vessels. The greater
part Of their crews was below decks.
On the submarines littl egroups
of men almost awash stood rigidly
at attention as the submergibles
slipped by the reviewing party.
Throughout the review seaplanes
from the naval base and army air
craft from Langlet field buzzed
overhead, while three dirigibles dron-
ed lazily over the pageant.
On Board the Mayflower:-In a
little more than an hour after the
flagship passed the Mayflower, the
last submarine in the line slipped
by and the fleet anchored in the
roads. The Mayflower then lifted
anchor and joined the Armada, the
Presidens and Mrs. Harding going
aboard the Pennsylvania. where they
held reception for the officers Of
the fleet

SAIS CHANNEL FUND
FATE DEPENDS UPON
THE BOND CAMPAIGN

An important ueNeIOpment IN the
Rio Grande railway bond collection
campaign came this morning when
James c. Bowie, in charge at San
Benito, announced that the fate of
the channel fund is also bound up in
the payment of the bond subscrip-
tions by May /.
As one of the trustees Of the chan
mel fund, Mr. Bowie said that he
would recommend its immediate re-
turn to the original subscribers IL
the bond fund is not also raised. He
declared he believed there was no
other alternative and said that his
co-trustee in San Benito, Col Alba
Haywood, agreed with this point of
view.
ssThe failure of the Rio Grande
railway campaign" Mr.. Bowie said.
would be that the rehabilitation Of
the Rio Grande railway, if it was ever
accomplished, would be done by other
than popular subscription, and that
control of the road would pass out of
the hands Of the people Of the Valley.
After going over the matter carefully,
/ am convinced that this would be a
violation Of the original agreement
under which the channel fund was
subscribed and that this money would
have to be returned to the donors.
'sThe whole deep water project at
Point Isabel is a three-cornered a.
greement among the government, the
present owners of the Rio Grande'
railway and the people of the Valley.
When the original plans were approx
ed by the government engineers, it
was clearly understood the road
would be standardized and financed
in such a way as would prevent it
ever getting into the control of hos
tile interests. Any other method of
financing than that now being fol-
lowed would meet with suspicion.
by the terms under which the
present railway bond campaign was
undertaken sixty percent of the stock
of the railroad is to be held by trus-
tees for the whole Valley--a control
ling interest. in other words. Any
other method of financing would
remove this control from the people
and violate the understandings under
which both the channel fund and the
bands were subscribed.
'The present campaign is test
which the government itself has pro-
posed to show whether the people Of
the Valley really want deep water at
Point Isabel or not and whether the
people wanted it enough to put their
own money into the enterprise. / am
told that it is being said in Browns
vile and other parts Of the Valley
that, If the present campaign falls
through. other means of financing
the rehabilitatin Of the road can be
found
Personally / don't believe this is so
because, as I believe the proposition
stands, it would be necessary not only
to raise the amount necessary to
change the railroad to meet govern
ment requirements but also to raise
the money to replace the present sub
scriptions to the channel fund"
When asked for a statement re-
garding Mr.. Bowies attitude on the
channel fund. ID. A. 0'Brien, presi-
dent of the railroad and owner of all
its stock, declared that in his opinion,
Mr.. Bowie's position is corresct.
Mr.. Bowie reported that the col
lection campaign in San Benito is
progressing favorably.

The main event was decidedly a one.

master of Carbon. the latter having
nothing to offer except defensive tac-
ties, and they availed him little. He
did manage to wriggie loose from
tight holds. but at those rare intervals
when he had an opportunity to assume
the offensive he showed his lack Of
ability. He was thrown twice a head

downfall the first time, and a scissors
