ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla. Feb. 9. (By the Associated PreSs) for mai acceptances still were to be re ceiyed tonight from three Of the men selected for President-elect Harding s cabinet the feeling Of those close to Harding was that the whole question was as good as settled
 Despite some published reports about the attitude Of Herbert Hoover chosen for secretary Of commerce, there was no evidence of apprehen- sion here regarding his decision IL IS understood he was felt out indi- rectly on the subject some time ago and that nothing has reached Hard ing to indicate that his position has changed. The general belief is that a communication formally accepting the appointment will be received with in 24 hours
 A formal acceptance from James J. Davis. selected for the labor port folio. also is expected shortly and Edwin Denby. IIardins's choice for secretary Of the navy. Is on his way here for a conference that Is belleVN ed certain to seal his appointment
 Regarding none of these selections would the preSluent-eiect COilheh1 today. Except for the two appoint ments already announced. it is re garded as unlikely Harding will make known any of his cabinet selections officially until inauguration day
 IL also is believed improbable that a definite announcement will be made regarding the choice of c. B. Chris tian. Jr.. to be secretary to the presi- dent. IL fs understood. however. that q positive decision has been reached and that Christian. who has been Harding's private secretary for SIX years. will go into the White House with his chief.

CITY WILL ASK
INJUNCTION ON
Phone INCREASE
City Attorney to File Papers
In District Court Today in
An Effort to Block Boost
In Rates.

In an attempt to block the In
crease of telephone rates contem-
plated by the Mountain States Tel
ephone and Telegraph company on
September 1. the city of Albuquer-
que will today file in the district
court a request for an injunction
restraining the company from
making the increase.
The move was approved by the
city commission last evening and
City Attorney w. A. Keleher will
present the request. The city will
contend that an increase is pre-
vented by a former contract with
the telephone company.
The question of public hearing
was taken up by the commission
at Its meeting last night. Word
was received from Hugh III. Will
liams of the state corporation
that the Mountain States company
was ready to assume the reason
ableness of the increase in any
hearing.
James Gladding. city manager,
was instructed to phone Mr.. Will
liams this morning and ask him to
set a date as early as he possibly
could. 1t is understood that the
telephone company will ask for ten
days in which to prepare its facts,
which will carry the hearing over
until some time after the first of
September. The rate increase,
however, may be temporarily sus-
rended by the Injunction.

fBy The Associated Press

Cleveland, O.. Aug. 22.-Alleged
to have preferred to see her baby
dead than have it face a life of
poverty, Mrs. Mary Soltis, rs, was
under arrest at police headquarters
today on a charge of murder. Po-
lice Sergeant Mccarthy declares
the young mother admitted she
smothered week-old child rather
than see it live in want.
Mccarthy questioned Mrs. Sol
tbs after the baby's body had been
taken to the morgue. He found
two other children, John, z; and
Mary, 4, clinging to their mothers
skirts, crying with hunger.
II smothered the baby with the
bed clothes" Mrs. Soltis is said to
have declared. II did not want to
see him grow up with nothing
ahead. There is no money--noth-
ing. What could 1 do? He would
be better dead"
She said her husband, John,
went away some time ago in
search of work.

TRIAL OF HARRY NASH
AT FLAGSTAFF HALTED

Flagstaff, Ariz., Aug. 22.-The
trial of Harry Nash. of Hillsdale,
Wyoming, for the murder of Mar
tin H. Schwab, of Payson, Utah,
in which the taking of evidence
was completed Saturday, so far as
then was known, was interrupted
today by an announcement by the
defense that it had located wit
ness in Kansas who would swear
that Schwab had revolver just be-
fore he was killed.
Whether or not Schwab was
armed has been a source of con-
troversy between the state and de-
fense throughout the trial. The
defense admitted that Nash Killed
Schwab, but claimed he did it in
self defense. The prosecution al
legged that Nash could not have
been threatened by Schwab be-
cause, 1t claimed, schwab was un-
armed. Sft~
Final arguments were to have
been made in the case today but
the court granted the defense time
to bring its witness from Kansas.
1t now is probable that the, jury
will not get the case before the
last of the week.

PROGRAM FLAYED
BY WANNAMAkER R
Policies in Connection With
Price and Currency Della
ton Are Cynical and
Cruel, He Asserts.
fBx The Associated Press.l

Washington, Aug. 22.-Federal
reserve board policies in connec-
ton with price and currency de-
flation are cynical, cruel and in
excusable," and constitute "finan-
cial tyranny and commercial GRIM
inality," J. S. Wannamaker, presi-
dent of the American Cotton asso-
citation, charged today before a
Joint congressional agricultural
committee. The boards methods,
he added, are "heaping up gold in
the United States at the expense OF
all civilization"
Speaking, he said, for agricultur-
al producers, the witness asserted
the federal board and banks were
responsible for the general price
decline. The boards pressure
still was being exerted upon
"bankers who are afraid Of their
shadow, who may find all their
loans called by the reserve banks
any minute and dare not disobey
it's orders" according to Mr.. Wan
namaker, who asked the commits
sion to recommend legislation for
general revision Of the reserve
board personnel. He proposed that
the personnel be composed of
twelve members, nominated from
the various districts as representa-
tives of industry instead Of bank
ing who should be appointed by
the president and confirmed by the
senate. Further, he suggested that
the commission recommend the in
slant reduction in federal reserve
rediscount rates to basis of three
and one-half per cent on Liberty
loan collateral.
'The federal reserve banking
system, created to serve the people,
by its administration, has made the
people servants of the SYSTEM" he
asserted. "Its policy will require
the American people to pay with
deflated dollars national debt
borrowed in inflated dollars"
Price declines that have been
effected lately, he declared, will
not help consumers. because "they
have left nothing for agricultural
producers to do but combine and
reduce production so low in the
future that prices will give us some
margin Of profit and let US pay our
debts"

HOPES ROW CAN ne
AMICABLY SETTLED

Washington, Aug. 22.-American
oil company officials who plan to
go to Mexico City to confer with
Mexican government officials on
the petroleum qquestion have been
informed by the state department
that the American government
would be gratified If the question
of the recently imposed tax on oil
could be settled amicably by the
two parties to the controversy.
The attitude of the department
is understood to have been set
forth several days ago to repre-
sentatives of some of the American
oil companies who communicated
to the department decision to
confer directly with Mexican Off
cials with a view to reduction in
the recently imposed petroleum ex-
port tax. Other American COM
panies operating properties in Mex

sion to conduct direct negotiations,

was placed before Secretary

same time the suggestion was made
by the department that treaty of
commerce and amity be concluded
between the two nations. 1t is un-
derstood that because of the nego-
tiations for the proposed treaty
that no representations have been
made to Mexico with respect to the

EFFORT TO AMEND IT,
PROVES UNSUCCESSFUL
Section Pertaining to the So

GriIlS Carriers.
(By The Associated Press, !,

Washington Aug. 22.--The ad-
ministration railroad funding bill
was passed tonight by the house.
The measure now goes to the SEN
ate.
The vote was 214 to 1913. 1t is
not the present intention of the
senate to take up the bill before
the recess.
An unsuccessful effort was made
to eliminate a section which pro-
vides that no payments shall be
made by the government to any
carrier ION account of the so-called
inefficiency of labor" during fed
eral control. An amendment to
strike out this provision, offered
by Representative Webster, Wash
ington, a republican member Of the
commerce committee, which had
favorably been reported, the bill
was rejected 145 to II.
Another provision of the section
which Mr.. Webster failed to have
stricken out stipulated that no
funds shall be used In making set
Elements with carriers which did
not forever bar such carriers from
setting up any further claim, right
or demands OF any kind, or char
acter, against the United States,
growing out of or connected with
the possession, use or operation OF
such carriers property by the
United States during the period Of
federal control"
Proponents of the measure sue
ceeded in voting down all motions
to amend the bill In important
particulars and as passed, the
measure, except for few minor
changes, is in the form in which
it was reported to the house.
Four Hours of Debate.
During four hours of general de-
bate three members of the COM
merce committee besides Mr.. Web
ster representatives Rayburn,
Texas; Johnson, Mississippi, and
Huddleston, Alabama, all demo-
opposition to the
bill. Mr.. Rayburn, however, urged
retention of the section which Mr..
Webster urged eliminated.
Contending the government was
bound by previous legislation to
recognize claims growing out of
labor inefficiency," Mr. Webster
said passage of the bill without
elimination Of the clause to which
he objected, would be "a mon
strous reputation of solemn con-
tract"
Attacking the bill, Mr.. Rayburn
declared the railroads were the
"pampered pet of the government"
AS long as congress continues to
make advances to them they will
ask for more money" he said, add
ing, "why don't they do something
for themselves"
Representative Mondell repub-
lican leader asserted enactment OF
the bill would do more than any
thing else "to hasten the day when
transportation rates can be re-
dduce."
The benefit that will accrue to
the general public, he held will be
infinitely greater than that Of the
benefit to the railroad.

year after that he became a priest.

before his striking sermons began

that he could not accept unless the

He left the parlors of society,
where he was a favorite, and cham
lpioned the strikers In big textile
ltieup at Lawrence, Mass, in 1912,
with views so liberal that he was
laccused of being socialist.
He never failed to plead for free
