PRESIDENT W||!s<'
ASK PASSAC., 4jf
TARIFF QUICKLY
Message TO Congress Next
Week Expected to In
cIude Merchant Marine,
Possibly Ship Subsidy.
rRr The Associated press.l

Washington, Dec. 1.-President
Harding's message to the new con-
gress this week, it was declared In
high official circles today, will deal
principally with the tariff ana
the merchant marine.
or the tariff Mr.. Harding Is ex-
pected by those close to the White
House to say its revision and pas
sage as early as possible is urgent
ly necessary and that it should be
stripped of such provisions as
would endanger or unduly delay
passage.
Concerning merchant marine
questions he is expected to take a
definite stand for the granting Of
some sort of ship subsidy probably
in the nature of preferential rates
and routes, as supplementary TO
the granting Of free tolls to coast
wise shipping through the Panama
canal. 1t was expected also that
the president would discuss section
"a OF the Jones act, dealing with
the abrogation of trade treaties by
the executive. Study of the situa-
tion was said to have developed a
feeling by administration officials
that it would be difficult, If not
impossible to carry out provisions
of this section.
Tariff matters, senate leaders In
sisted, will occupy the prominent
position in the message. 1t was as
serted Mr.. Harding would ask that
rates in the house bill, now in TIL,
hands of the senate finance COM
mittee, be fixed on the old basis of
invoice values rather than on the
house provision of American
wholesale valuation. His reason
for that stand, according to some
Of his counsellors. was that he had
bean assured it would be better to
apply the new system piecemeal
than by employing the plan on all
commodities at once.
To that end, it was stated, the
president Is expected to urge an
optional provision in the measure,
empowering him to apply the home
value basis where. after certain
surveys, it is found advisable or
necessary. Such a course was re-
garded by congressional tariff
builders as obviating the necessity
for computing the rates on what
opponents of the American valua-
tion plan describe as unknown
quantities.
Mr.. Harding is expected to urge
immediate passage of the alli ed
debt refunding bill. While this
was represented as his attitude to-
day, divergence OF opinion
among senators as to the wisdom
of taking up -the measure during
the arms conference. it was said by
some, may yet force a change in
that stand.

WORL LDMEET 7 Of
IRISH RICE To
OCCUR IN PARIS
Convention Marks ReSump-
ton of 18Th Century
Feature of Irish Life;
Will include Art Show.
NV Tie As.rcintcd preks.l

Paris, Nov. 13.--The world con-
ference of the Irish race to be held
in Paris January 21, will bring to-
gether representative of some of
the leading families of France,
Italy, Russia, Austria. the Argen-
tine and other South American
countries, the ancestors of whom
were Irish. These families mi
grated from Ireland as early as tho
thirteenth century and became ma
tionals of the various countries, al
though frequently retaining their
Irish names.
All the Irish race organizations
Of the world will send delegates and
President de Valera of the irish
republic, has promised to attend.
An exhibition Of Irish art will form
part of the meeting.
1t Is estimated that there are
25,000,000 persons of Irish origin
scattered throughout the world.
The secretariat of the conference
in Paris is working hard to reach
the descendants of Irish families.
Several hundred Americans whose
ancestors were of Irish descent viii
attend. While there are to be only
200 accredited delegates, several
thousand persons are expected in
Paris for the weeks meeting.
The convention will mark the re-
sumption of an event which until
the thirteenth century was an i'm
portant yearly feature of Irish life.
The last one was held in Ireland in
the fourteenth century.
The cultural revival OF Irish art
and literature is the chief purpose
of the convention. 1t is purely ed
ucational in character and in no
way is connected with the Sim Fein
movement or Irish political hopes.
The renaissance of Gaelic culture
has, in the opinion Of those arrang-
ing the conference, received great
impetus within the last twenty
years, although little has been heard
of this rebirth outside of Ireland,
One of the aims of the conference
is to inform those of Irish origin
how far this revival has gone ana
to interest them in encouraging and
furthering Irish art, literature and
drama throughout the world.
The invitations to the "Aonac. or
convention. have been sent by Mr:
de Valera, himself. Fourteen or
the largest countries of the world
have already responded and will
be represented by nations of irish
ancestry.

Gold AmaIgam to Value OF
100000 Taken; Sher-

was on the road about an hour
afterward with a posse, was search
ing in the direction of lone late to-
day, following a report that the
robbers had headed out of the
Mother Lode into the San Joaquin
valley.
The loot was months cleanup
for the mine. whose production
has averaged nearly 100000 q
month for the last thirty-five years.
It's weight was ASS pounds and the
robbers apparently were aware OF
the fact that the mines plates had
just been scraped preparatory TO
melting down bullion today Tor

the form of balls of ore mixed with
quicksilver.
The two mill men on duty, Rees
williams and James Podesta. were
overpowered and bound with ropes
but Williams managed to back UP
against an emery wheel afterward
and rub,the rope in two. He then
released Podesta. but they found

Santa Fe, Dec. Mrs. Ruth c.
Miller today announced she intend
ed to resign at an early date as di-
rector of vocational education. The
time, she sair, was dependent upon
when she and Travelling Auditor
Whittier were able to reach an ad-
justment on the charges in his re-
port to the state board of education
and when she was able to close out
her report for the fiscal year ended
June 30. 1921.
State Superintendent John V.

This is the plan being followed in

PROFESSIONALS
WOMEN To KEEP
DIRECT PRIMARY

Chicago, Dec. 1.-The direct pri-
mary should not be abandoned but
should be improved and retained,
Prof p. Orman Ray, OF North
western university told the National
League of Women Voters institute
on efficiency in government here
today.
Improvement is certainly possi-
! Bile, DR.. Ray said, and he outlined
plan largely based on the Hughes
SAKE proposals made in New York
few years ago.
The gist of his recommendations
was the elevation of existing party
committeeman into nominating
committees. To the rank and file
of the party was reserved the OPP
iportunity to substitute through a
direct primary other nominations
whenever the work of the nominat-
| ing committees was unsatisfactory
to large group Of party members.
Under this plan the direct pri-
mary would be dispensed with
whenever nominations were unsat-
factory, thus saving the taXpay-
ers' its large expense.
"EXperience under the direct
primary has not fulfilled all the
optimistic predictions of its origin
al advocates, nor on the other
hand has it fulfilled the dire pre-
Ilictions of its original opponents"
Prof. Ray said. 1.-THE main ques-
tions confronting the primary to-
day are these:
Can 1t be so improved as to re-
duce it's cost to the taxpayers and
also to insure open, official and
responsible party leadership while
preserving the ultimate control of
nominations in the hands of the
rank and file of the party
81 am confident that both Of
these questions will be satisfactor-
lily worked out without the creation
of new complications"

Washington, Dec. 1.-Aroused
by the departure Of Charles w.
Morse, New York shipbuilder, from
the country just as the government
is about to place before federal
grand jury its Investigations OF MS
transactions with the shipplns
board, federal officials are consid-
cring tonight what means may be
taken to bring him back.
1t is hoped, department of JUS
tice officials said, that word car

detention at Havre, France, tomor-
row when the French steamer
Paris, from New York is to dock.
Early today the justice depart
ment called on the navy depart
ment to send a destroyer to meet
the vessel outside Of Havre to take
Morse off. No such order was is
sued and navy officials declared
they were without authority to act
in that manner.
Tonight a plan to cancel the
passport issued Mr.. Morse was un-
der consideration. The effect Of
such action, it is understood, prob
ably would be that the French
government might under represen-
tations from the United States, re-
fuse to permit him to land.
Meanwhile, i. A. and ii. e..

statement said, that the govern
ment knew Morse had sailed be-
fore this contemplated action be-
came known.
Morse sailed under the advice Of
his physician that he would have
to undergo an operation If he de-
sired to save his life" the state =
ment said, adding that he would
return whenever his presence was
desired.
Justice department officials de-
clared nothing was known OF Mr..
Morse's departure until 1t was re-
ported from New York last night.
Morse was granted passport sew
eral months ago, state department
officials said. High government
officials were not inclined to dis
cuss efforts being made to effect
the return of Morse.
Secretary DENLY said he had not
boen requested to furnish a de-
stroyer to take Morse off the Pari :

him off q foreign ship If he had
been asked to do so.

AMERICANARMS
GROUP ACT ON
WAR MACHINES
tBy The Associated Press.)

washington. Dec. l (by the AS
sociated Press. -Four reports
dealing with submarines. land ar
mament, aircraft and new weapons
of warfare, including poison gases
were adopted today by the Amcri-
can arms advisory committee.
Prepared by experts at the re-
quest Of Secretary Hughes, Chair
man Sutherland declared that tha
reports contained much informa-
ton bearing vitality on the big
problems of the conference. But
whatever the viewpoint set down
by the experts, Mr.. Sutherland en-
phasized that the committee OF
twenty-one stood solidly behind
the American naval proposal.
Adoption today by the American
advisory committee Of report on
submarine warfare prepared by
Admiral Rogers was construed as
indicating no divergence of view
between the civilians Of the COM
mittee and navy officers as to the
legitimate place of submarines
among naval weapons.
The navy generally holds that
underwater craft are desirable
addition to the fleet and no more
subject to misuse than battleships.
1t is believed that the committee
which Is representative of Ameri-
can public opinion, endorses this
view. Illegal use Of submarines
naturally 1t was said, would be
condemned by both naval officers
and civilians.
When the question of subma-
rines comes up the American arms
delegation will have the backing
of American public opinion as
cleaned by the American advisory
committee to support American
opposition to any proposal to abol-
ish submarines or to limit their
size in any drastic degree.

BEFORE GRAND JURY

geois, publicity director of the
French line. today confirmed re-
ports that Charles w. Morse, whose
shipping contracts are said to be
under investigation by federal au-
thorities, sailed for Havre. France,
last Friday on the liner Paris. He
said he was at the gangway of the
steamer and personally examined
the passports which had been is
sued to Mr.. Morse.
For years power in banking
and shipping circles. Mr.. Morse
faced his first serious clouds in
1908 when suits were filed against
him for more than 100000 on
promissory notes. He was convict
ed of having misapplied the funds
of the National Bank of North
America here. In November. 1908,
he was sentenced to fifteen years
in federal prison. ...
Then his wife began o fight for
her husband. Morse always de-
clared he had committed no wrong
but had followed practices common
to nearly every business man of his

CLOSING PLEAS
ARE STARTED IN
ARBUCKLE TRIAL
Court Room Is Crowded for
Final Arguments; Prose-
Cution Asserts Neglect
Should Convict Comedian
tBy Ths Associated Press.)

San Francisco. Calf, Dec. L.
The poisoning OF Mrs. Irene Nor
gan, a leading witness for the de-
fense. and the beginning Of the
closing arguments of both sides
were outstanding developments to-
day In the trial of Roscoe C. (Fatty)
Arbuckle.
Leo Friedman, an assistant dis
trict attorney made the first expo
sition of the prosecutors conten-
tion that it has presented an un-
breakable chain of evidence to link
tb Nmedian with the death of
~ q Rappe, whom 1t charges
We .kle injured at a party in his
= rs at the Hotel st. Francis here.
- yin McNab began what seemed
/Iely to be the deiense's only ad-
, ress, but was interrupted by ad-
journment of court for the day.
The court room was crowded and
many a would-be spectator was
able to get no nearer the center Of
activities than the corridors of the
hall of Justice.
Arbuckle appeared Indifferent
during Friedman's argument,
spending most of the time gazing
around or lingering shreds of pa
per. Friedman told the jury that
"even if Arbuckle told the truth on
the stand it would be strong enough
to convict him, for he admitted he
left Miss Rappe after her injury
without calling a doctor or telling
any one of her condition"
why has not the prosecution
presented Bambina Maude Del
mont, the complaining witness in
this case?" McNab asked. He
praised Mrs. Morgan as a hero
inc, wounded in battle" Finger
prints on the doors of the Hotel ST.
Francis room used by Arbuckle and
said by the prosecution to be those
of Arbuckle and Miss Rappe, were
called "spooks" by McNab. AR
buckle had but ten minutes in that
room with Miss Rappe." he said.
The action of the district attor-
ney In placing witnesses under his
custody con the theory that they
may be tampered with" was criti-
cised. Miss Zey Provost, prosecu-
ton witness, was 'terrorized," he
said. in her appearances before the
police and the grand jury. because
she would not say Miss Rappe, re-
ferring to Arbuckle, exclaimed he
killed me-"
Mr.. McNab was interrupted a
number of times by the prosecu-
ton on the charge that he was go
ing outside the record in the case.
"We!rd, fantastic absurdities
were substituted for the testimony
of Mrs belmont. the complaining
witness" he said.
The testimony of both prosecu-
ton and defense witnesses was de-
tailed by Friedman. He said that
Mrs. Morgan's record as war
nurse. as she outlined it on the
stand, was subject to attack.
Fred Fischbach, a leading de-
fcnse witness, was accused by
Friedman OF having attempted to
take the blame of Miss Rappe's In
jury on his own shoulders.
The defense testimony of DR..
Franklin Shiels "blasted the de-
fcnse's own theory that the bladder
rupture which caused Miss Rappe's
death might have resulted from
sudden immersion in cold bath"
Friedman said. "Dr, Shiels testi-
fled that he had no knoWl-
edge Of bladder rupturing in this
fashion"
