Harding, Off ON Cruise,
To Write His Message
President and Wife Take Party
of Officials for Week End
ON the Mayhower
From The Tribune,s Wesh;natoss Rare


WASHINGTON, July 9.-While the
Presidential yacht Mayfower rides at
anchor tomorrow at the mouth of
Chesapeake Bay, President Harding in
tends to work on message to Congress
which he plans to deliver Tuesday. The
message will deal with soldier bonus
and tax legislation, and the President
will determine later whether he will
deliver the message personally. He is
known to favor appearing before Con-
gress in person in order to emphasize
the points conveyed in his message.
The Mayfiower, bearing the President
and Mrs. Harding and a party of
friends, left here at o'clock thia
afternoon and is not due back until
early Monday morning. Included in the
party were Senator and Mrs. Watson
of Indiana, Chairman Lasker of the
Shipping Board. Secretary of War
Weeks, Secretary Of Labor Davis. Post
master General Hays, Senator and Mrs.
Kellogg, Senator Newberry and Senator
Hale.
The Presidential party does not plan
to stop en- route, but simply to journey
down the Potomac in an effort to OBJ
tain relief from the heat.

Bandits Pave Road With Money
As Police Car OverElauls Auto

chine and scattered Sicks and Geary
sought a hiding place under side
walk, but were dragged forth and hus-
tied back to Chicago. The missing
loot, except that part picked up by
children and found in the machine, is
believed to be in possession of the four
bandits who escaped.
The robbers threw the money into
the road in the hope that it would halt
the pursuit of the police riflemen. The
ruse worked to some extent, as the pur-
suers had to slow down to avoid run
ming over the children. But for this
delay, it is thought all the fugitives
would have been captured before they
reached the friendly alleys and byways
of Lemont.
Sicks was released from prison May
IA. 1921. by an order of the Supreme
Court which granted review of his
case. He was convicted of participation
in the robbery Of the Heller Rose Com
pany, in 1918, when jewelry worth
sf50000 was stolen.
Geary, the other prisoner, was re-
leased from Joliet penitentiary month
ago and Immediately resumed his Grim
inal career in Chicago, the police say.

Lieutenant Farrell, who created n
sensation when he knocked Lieutenant
Walter Hinton to the floor of the Hud-
son Bay trading post at Mattice shortly
after the balloon party reached civiliza-
tion after travelling more than two
hundred miles over an unbroken trail
from Moose Factory, was considered by
many to be the real hero Of the mem.
orable expedition. AT the end of the
journey Lieutenant Farrell appeared to
be in better physical condition than
either Lieutenant Hinton or Kloor, and
his breakdown undoubtedly will be re-
ceived with surprise.
According to letter written by
Lieutenant Hinton after the party had
been rescued in the north woods by a
Cree trapper, Lieutenant Farrell, after
four days of hopeless wandering fol-
lowing the descent of the balloon,
begged his companions to kill him and
use his body for food.
Lieutenants Hinton and Kloor are
now stationed at Rockaway, and, as
far es can be ascertained, neither has
suffered any permanent impairment
from the experience. Lieutenant Kloor,
according to rumor, is soon to be mar
ried

MEXICO CITY, July 9.-The tension
here has been greatly relieved by the
withdrawal of the United States war
ships from Tampico The situation had
only been aggravated by the presence
of the warships, it was felt here, be-
cause the Obregon government has
from the first regarded the shutdown
of the Tampico oil wells as a plot by
the producers to embarrass the Mexi-
can government. The Mexican admin
istration never has believed that an
economic crisis was precipitated by the
putting into effect of the export tax
and consequently was glad to see the
warships depart, thereby precluding the
possibility of any interference or clash
with Mexican authorities
The government is taking energetic
measures to relieve the unemployment
in the oil fields and is concentrating the
idle men outside of the industrial dis
trict in the hope of avoiding possible
disorders on the oil properties.
Obregon Orders Inquiry
President Obregon has ordered an
investigation to determine whether
Mexican laborers were Disseminated
against by the oil companies in dis
charging their employees and also to
lind out what steps have been taken
by the companies to relieve the dis
tress among the unemployed.
General Plutarco Elias Gales, Min
lister Of the Interior. said to-day that
the government had been informed that
the oil companies had been carrying on
wide propaganda among the laborers
In the oil fields to create the impress
sion that the government was RESPONSE
Bile for their discharge. Gales said the
government had succeeded in persuad-
ing the laborers that this was not true
and, as result, no uprising against the
ODregon government is feared.
The health situation in the oil feds
as the result of an outbreak of yellow
fever and bubonic plague is serious,
but the government is taking steps 10
relieve this.
President Obregon has refused the
offer of army officers to contribute a
part Of their pay toward the support of
the unemployed. He thanked the of
ficers, saying he believed the govern
ment had sufficient money in the treas
ury to relieve the situation before it
became critical.

United States Ambassador, had an

Lloyd Georges remarks were wiped off
the journal of the House of Commons

says:
Here was the rift within the Lutte

The American Administration
would have been seriously embarrassed

related problems would probably have
been shipwrecked
THAT was the execrable position
Thursday evening. On Friday the
mistaken procedure received drastic
correction. The Premier's words about
replies from the United States, Japan
and China were omitted from Hansard

from official existence. The situation
happily became as though they never

CHICAGO, July Six bandits in a
powerful touring car, at noon to-day,
swooped down on the Clearing State
Bank, at Sixty-third Street and Central
Avenue, held up three employees and
escaped with approximately $4,000 in
cash and securities.
Within two hours the car was sight

later Martin (Big Six) Sicks, said to
have been the leader of the band. and
Mike Geary, police character, were
under arrest. More than $4,000 in
currency was found in Sicks's machine.
AS the bandit machine reached the
outskirts of Lemont the occupants dis
covered the police in close pursuit. In
an attempt to rid themselves of the
loot they tossed punches of bills to
right and left. Much of this fell into
the hands of children playing by the
roadside, who promptly took it to their
parents.
