HUGHES AND
HARDING HOLD
LONG FARLEY
Both Decline to Disclose De-
tails; Diplomatic Jobs and
Association of Nations
Main Topics

st. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 19.-Chas.
E. Hughes former supreme court JUS
tice and republican nominee for the
presidency was designated by Presi-
dent-elect Harding today as the new
secretary of state. The announcement
embodying the first official word from
the president-elect regarding selec-
lions for the cabinet was made in an
oral statement after a long conference
between the two men on foreign prob
lens.
There was no element of surprise
in the selection for it had been known
several weeks Mr.. Hughes virtually
was certain to be given the place. He
is understood to have been Mr.. Hard
ing's choice from the first.
Details Not Disclosed
MI. Harding declined to go into
details about the subjects discussed
with Mr.. Hughes, saying that one of
the policies of the administration
would be to let each department head
speak for himself. Mr.. Hughes de-
clared no public statement on the
problems ahead would be e~xpedient at
present. "Of course" he added, Il
appraise it as a great privilege to be
invited by Senator Harding to serve
in his administration and / regard it
as an imperative obligation to accept"
1t was generally understood, how
ever, that diplomatic appointments to
be made early in the administration
furnished one topic and that there
vas consideration also of the prelim-
mary steps to be taken toward an as
sociation of nations. The discussion
regarding appointments was more or
less indefinite, it being Mr.. Harding's
policy to delay o of the diplomatic
selection until after Inauguration.

Fordney Emergency Bill, Bearing

Fordney to Sound Harding.
While the Senate was in the throes
Of the heated debate on the emer.
gency tariff, the House Ways and
Means committee was concluding open
hearing on revision of the permanent
law. With that work out of the way
Chairman Fordney will leave for
another conference with President
elect Harding at st. Augustine. 1t is
understood he will ask the next Chief
executive for a definite expression as
to his views on the legislative pro-
gram outlined by Republican leaders
and whether he favors immediate con
sideration by Congress of tariff legis-
lation rather than action ON matters
Of taxation.
The speech by Senator Moses
against the emergency bill was filled
with a series of caustic shots at his
Republican colleagues. He declared
that every senator knew that the bill,
If it should become a law, would avail
nothing, and he challenged denial by
any senator that it was "unscientiic
and designed to fool the farmer rather
than aid him.
Predicts Wilson Excoriatfcn.
"The Republican party cannot go be-
fore the country with such a meas
ure," asserted Senator Moses. ut can
only give to President Wilson, who
was so thoroughly repudiated in No
vember, an opportunity to excoriate
the Republican party, and, believe me,
he will do it when this thing gets to
him.
Why. this bill is lopsided, it's blind
and it's deaf, and it has the ricketts,.
It's a combination between the rice
paddles, the cane brakes. the cattle
ranges, the sheep runs, and the wheat
fields, and how ! can support it, even
though / am for protection through
and through, know not"

London-Violenoe will not solve the
Irish problem. King George declared
here in his speech from the throne to
the two houses Of Parliament in for

outstanding sections of his address re-
ferred to Ireland, the king saying:
THE situation in Ireland still causes
me distress. A misguided section Of
the Irsih people persists In resorting
to methods of criminal violence with
the object of establishing an indepen-
dent republic.
Neither Irish unity nor Irish self
government can be attained by this
means"
The kings speech was brief, but
touched or numerous vital questions
confronting the government. At the
outset it referred to the coming con-
ferences to be held in London and at
tended by the representatives of Allied
nations. Germany and Turkey.

that by this means further progress
may be made in giving effect to
treaties Of peace in re-establishing con

King George expressed himself as
'~favorably disposed toward a CONNER

the session next summer.

TEXANS CLASH ON
FLOOR OF HOUSE
Stormiest Session In Years Is
Launched When BIanton Is
Accused of FaISity.
OUTBREAK ANTICIPATED
Letters to Texas Newspapers Charging
Members With Plan to Raid Treas
ury and Obtain Salary Increases
Forces Bitter Attack.

Neutrality-suspicious., cat calls and
the word liar" were shouted on the
floor Of the House in the stormiest SEES
sion in years. The uproar started
when Representative Summers o.
Texas. having left a sick bed, ap
peared, and, supported by most Texas
members, launched an attack on his
colleague, Representative Blanton.
When Mr.. Summers stepped forward
with a faded newspaper clipping in HIS
hand, nearly every Texas members
was present, evidently anticipating the
outbreak.
Read by the clerk, the clipping re-
vealed that Mr.. Blanton, in a letter to
Texas newspapers, had charged mem
bers with a concerted plan to raid the
Treasury and obtain salary increases
which he alone had prevented. The
press was asked to help, and many
papers to which appeal was made re
sponded with bitter assaults on those
charged with backing the alleged
salary grab.
There vas a tense moment as the
reading was concluded anu Mr.. Sum
ners stepping close to Mr.. Blanton,
shook his fist in B~lanton's face and
dramatically shouted:
"And when you sent that statement
to Texas you knew it was as false as
hell"
House Breaks Into TumuIt.
The House broke into a wild shout,
half the membership rising, Blanton,
jumping to his feet, and trying to make
himself heard, demanded the right to
speak. He was howied down, the
chair sustained a point of order that
he could not be heard at that time on
a question Of personal privilege.
Mr.. Summers, walking back and
forth, continued the attack. The
speech was constantly interrupted
with shouting at the conclusion of
almost every sentence OF denunciation.
Mr.. Summers declared the record
showed that no effort had been made
to slip through a salary increase bill.
The question had come up twice in
the present Congress, Mr.. Summers
said, and 1t was knocked out on points
OF order by Representative Wood, Re-
publican. of Indiana.
Mr.. Blanton, he asserted. was not

Blanton strove vainly to make him

ra~tulations. Mr.. Blanton. his voice

powers to determine the rights of
claimants to property in the possession

wrongs of the German government
warranted "the confscation of the
private property OF German nation
ais" Moreover. he added, he did no,
believe that 1t was the intention OF
Congress in passing the trading with
