car that had come up from Mosquito

of the drive the road became only a
trail, in which palm and palmetto leaves
scratched the varnish from the automo-
biles and the wheels mired TO the axles.

Washington, ID. C., Feb. 8.
A 7 least two leading Demo-
Gratis who went down to de-
feat in the Republican landslide
last November will be invited to
take Office under the Harding adj
ministration. They are Repre-
sentative Champ Clark (Mo.),
minority leader of the House,
and Senator George E. Chamber
lain (Ore.).
Senator Harding has sent word
to the Capitol that he has great
admiration for both Senator

watch be kept for posts that
would be suitable for them on
one of the commissions under
the Government.

Old Pier Discovered.

When Mr.. Harding came ashore in a
launch yesterday his party searched the
river banks as far north as New Smyrna,
a distance of twenty miles. before they
found a safe landing To-day. however,
a Secret Service man went scouting and
discovered a decaying pier tutting out
from a primeval forest OF palmettoes
almost opposite the spot where the Vic
toria lies II was there that the Presi-
dent-elect put out tonight TO board the
houseboat.
The explorations OF the Secret Service
man lasted until afternoon. his expert
ences including an encounter with a
group of negroes who refused at first to
lend him their rowboat because one Of
them had caught glimpse Of pistol
tucked beneat his belt. u was whispered
along the river bank that he was a
revenue agent, but he finally convinced
the owner of the boat to the contrary.
Meantime in Sea Breeze the eager
hosts who always gather around a ce-
lcbrity had taken charge OF Mr.. Har-
ding's entertainment and had thrown the
door of hospitality open wide. From the
links they gathered him in for a lunch
con party that lasted till into the after
noon, and then they undertook to pilot
him down the river bank until they
established liaison with the Secret Ser
vice expedition.

HARDING ABANDONS
HOUSEBOAT TRIP
Stranded Victoria Remains
Stuck in Mud of Mosquito
Lagoon.
TAKES TRAIN TODAY
President-Elect's Party Treads
Jungle Trail to Gather
Belongings.

DAYToSA, Fla, Feb s.-After a days
outing in Sea Breeze and Daytona
President-elect Harding returned to
his stranded houseboat Victoria in
Mosquito Lagoon tonight TO pack
his baggage and to bid farewell TO the
vacation ship.
An efforts TO pull the Victoria out Of
the mud failed to-day. and Mr.. Har-
ding decided not to wait longer for her
to resume her northward cruise. He
expects to come ashore tomorrow
morning and complete his trip up the
coast to st. Augustine by train.
The President-elect's return TO the
houseboat involved many difficulties,
the party threading a narrow jungle
trail and picking a precarious way
along a rickety pier TO board the
launch that took them out to the
Victoria. The trip furnished a familiar
companion piece to Mr.. Harding's ex-
perience last November when he at
tempted to leave Point Isabel, Texas,
after similar bad luck had broken up
his vacation there.

Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.

Albany. Feb. ,.
A disorganized group Of half a dozen
men stood up against William H.
Anderson, his lawyer and two score
Anti Saloon League officials this after
noon in q forlorn hope against pas
sage of Gov. Miller's prohibition en-
forcement programme. And when a
Joint session OF the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate and the Excise
Committee of the Assembly had con-
cluded a dry and long hearing it was
conceded on all sides the measures
will 20 through in pretty nearly their
original form, perhaps little more
stringent here and little more lenient
there.
The Mullan-Gage bills, as they are
known, would write the Volstead act
with new and drastic provisions into
the statute books of the State, to be
enforced by the police and the Dis
trict Attorneys of the different coun-
ties. Magistrates are directed in the
bills to fix bail at not less than Sl,ooO
and TO inform the District Attorney OF
the case so he may where the evi-
dence warrants, take 1t before the
Grand Jury The District Attorney
also would be obliged TO act on the
complaint of citizen. Neglect or re-
fusal on the part of an officer TO per-
form such duties would be punishable
by fine of $500.
In another section city and county
Judges and justices of the Supreme
Court are authorized TO issue warrants
for search and seizure. one of the ohis
would amend the civil code enabling a
person or his heirs to collect damages
from another who had given him intox-
icating liquors and by reason OF which
h. had incurred injury or death.
There were but three speakers at the
hearing who called on the Legislature
to throw out the measures In their en-
tirety. The most forcible of tlresc was
William II. Brady. representing the
Manufacturers and Dealers League OF
the state OF New York. lie said he
spoke for an organization embracing
s250.0Oo.0C0 and $4,000 persons. His argu-
ment was that since the Volstead act
is entirely Federal law it should be
enforced solely by the Federal Govern
ment.

 Love, the Devils Weapon.
 To bring Marie and Paul together, Dr. Muller arranged for Paul to paint a portrait of Marie as the true type of French woman In Mimi he then aroused an interest in Paul. and natural feminine jealousy by insinu- ating that Marie was merely heart less society woman who was trif1inS with PauPS affections and would ruin his wonderful career
 AIimi's interest quickly turned to love, and Paul accepted it because it helped him forget Marie. When Ma rie came to have her portrait painted, she reproa ched him for using a wOnan'S heart.
 Having caused Mimi to fall in love with Paul; kept flaming PauFs love for Marie; awakened in Marie the knowledge of PauPs love, and aroused suspicious in Georges mind of Ma rie's constancy, Dr. Muller invited his human toys to a bal masque.
