HARDING WILL
 TRY II SPEED
 TARIFF CHANGE
Executive to Urge Congress To Pass Measure As Soon
 As Possible Next Week

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. - Presi- dent Harding's message to the new congress next week, it was declared U high official circles today. will deal principally with the tariff and the merchant marine.
 Of the tariff. Harding is expected by those close to the White House to say its revision and passage as early as possible is urgently neces- sary and that it should be stripped of such provisions as would endanS- CT or unduly delay passage.
 Concerning merchant marine ques- tions. he is expected to take a derin- ite stand for the granting of some sort of ship subsidy, probably in the nature of preferential rates and routes, as supplementary to the grant ing of free tolls to coastwise ship ping through the Papama Canal. It was expected also that the president would discuss section A of the Jones acts dealing with the a.rogat1on of trade treaties by the executive.
 study of the situation was said to have developed a feeling by admins trative officials that it would be diff iicult. if not impossible to carry c;;t provisions of this section.
 Tariff matters, senate leaders in- sisted, will occupy the prominent po- sition in the message. It was assert ed Harding would ask that rates in the house bill, no w;n the hands Of the senate finance committee, be fix eC on the basis of the old invoice val i ues rather than on the house proviS- fen of American wholesale valuation. ! His reason for that stand, according tu some of his counsellors, was that he had been assured it was better to apply the new system piecemeal than ! by employing the plan on all commo- dities at once.
 1 To that end, it was stated, the presi ! dent is expected to urge an optional 1 provision in the measure empowering ! him to apply the home value basis where, after certain surveys, it is 1 found to be advisable or necessary. ! Such course was regarded by con- | gressional tariff builders as obviat- 1 ing the necessity for computing the
 rates on what opponents of the Amer
 ican valuation plan described as un- | known quantities.
 Harding is expected to urge imme 1 dlate passage of the allied debt re | funding bill. While this was repre- i sented as his attitude today, a diver. ! sence of opinion among pvnaLors as
 to the wisdom of taking up the meas ' ure during the arms conference, il
 was said by some, may yet force 6 change in that stand.

SEVEAE STORMS
 ISOLATE FRISCO
Wire Communication East, North Halted; Shipping Is
 Also Badly Curtailed

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. l. Wire communication between San Francis co and points north and east was in- terrupted seriously tonight by winds and rain storms.
 Trees blown over by the winds broke telephone lines and the lines of one telegraph company in southern Oregon; rain made some lines in northern California useless. and other trees blown over broke the overland telephone and one telegraph compa- ny's wires near Summit, Calf.
 Wire chiefs spent q busy evening re-routing and diverting traffic to make the most of southern transcon- tinental lines.
 Shipping was reported bar-bOund, or, in few instances. in trouble. A salvage ship was sent to the aid of the harkentine Simon F. Tolmie off Mean Fay, Wash. Her steering gear was broken. The United States de strOyer DeLong, which went ashore { a few miles south of San Francisco in a fog last night, was being batter ed by high seas late tonight.

CHARLES MORSE
 FLIES COUNTRY ! IN FRENCH SHIP
Notorious Promoter Pardoned By Taft, Departs As New
 Investigation Started

NEW YORK. Dec. |. - Joseph Bourgeois, publicity director of the French Line. today confirmed reports than Charles w. Morse, whose ship ping contracts are said to be under investigation by federal authorities. sailed for Havre. France. last Fri day on the liner Paris. He said he was at the gangway Of the steamer and personally examined. the pass ports which had been issued to Morse.
 For years a power in banking and shipping circles, Morse faced his first serious clouds in 1908 wnen su,ts were filed against him fof more than S200,000 on promissory notes. He was convicted of having misapplied the funds of the National Bank of North America here. In November 1908, l,e was sentenced to 15 years in fed el al prison.
 Then his wife began a fight for her husband Morse always declared he had committed no wrong but had followed practices common to nearly every business man of his time.
 On January IS. 1912, President Taft cCmmuJed his sentence on the recom- mendatiOn of the attorney SuHerai, based on a report from the surgeon general of the army. who reported Morse near death from heart and kid ney disease.
 Morse regained his health and or ranized shipping combine for the European and South american ser vice.
 In 1920, he again encountered a fed eral grand jury. being indicted on a charge of having uniawfully sold an American vessel. the so-z .. ncCut- lough. to the government of Tunis, for a half million dollars, without per mission of the shipping board. He pleaded not guilty, Was released and the indictment was dismissed.

WARE WASTE AND
 WEAR WELL!
Human Bodies Are. Poisoned by Their Orvn Waste. Most Illnesses
 Are PrepentabIe.

The human body has to be heated and fine foods burned inside the body pro- duce muchwa All this waste should be removed from the body regularly. thoroughly, daily, by the eliminative organs,-which are the bowels, kid neys, skin, and to some extent the lungs. These should act in harmony if the bowels are inactive extra effort is required of the others, which easily become deranged. Many medicines will force bowel action temporarily but the after effects are harmful. Many remedies are adver- tised, some of which have proven wear after year to be reliable, eftici- ent, and without harmful action or effect. Take Beecham's Pills for eX- ample. For over 70 years Beech am's has been a household word all over the world. 70 years of use by all sorts of folks, men, women and even children, have proven first. that Beecham's Pills do what 8 claimed. for them; second, that they are harmless, do not produce bad effects. Some medicine forces Nature to unnatural action. Other medicines, like those contained in Beecham's Pills assist Nature, act mildly, per- suade and hence produce no harmful effects. 1t is common to find fam ifies in which Beecham's have been used by several generations, their use handed down from father to son and from mother to daughter.
 That's the best possible recom- mendation for any remedy. Every druggist sells Beecham's, is glad to do so because he knows that their reputation has been won by merit

This theory was supported by Penses' statements that his wife had told him the girl had become i'll when the at the Penses home Wednesday night. Penses and his two daughters are being held.

Morse sailed under cnc aovlce or his physician that he would have to undergo an operation if he desired to save his life" the statement said, adding that he would return when ever his presence was desired.
 Justice department or-.Clals declar- ed nothing was known of Morse's departure until it was reported from New York last night. Morse was granted a passport several months ago, state department officials said.
 High goveTnm ent officials were not inclined to discuss efforts being made to effect the return of Morse.
 Shipping Board Silent
 Secretary Denby said he had not been requested to furnish a destroyer to take Morse off the Paris and that he could aot have taken him off a foreign ship if he had been asked to do so.
 Beyond declaring that the govern ment would make every legitimate eff fort to bring Morse back, neither FL mer Schlesinger, general counsel of the shipping board, nor Fletcher Dobyns, special assistant in charge 'of the case, would discuss it.
 ; One method to prevent Morse from landinsi n France, shipping board of ficials intimated, might be through a request to the French government | pointing out his possible undesirabil ity as a citizen due to old charges which were dismissed. It was learn i ed that the department of justice was : considering every possible method by which Morse could be brought back

Officials Outwitted

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. = Aroused by the departure of Charles w. Morse New York shipbuildeV from the coun- try just as the government is about to place before a federal grand jury its investigations of his transactions with the shipbuilding board, federal officials are considering tonight what means may be taken to bring him back.
 It is hoped, department of justice officials said. that word ean--b sent in time to permit Morse's detention at Havre. France, tomorrow, when the French steamer Paris. on which he sailed from New York, is to dock.
 Early today. the justice department called on the navy department to send destroyer to meet the vessel out side of Havre and take Morse off. No such order was issued and navy off cials declared later they were with out authority to act in that manner.
 Tonight, a plan to cancel the pass port issued to Morse was under con sideration. The effect of such ac- ton. it is understood, probably would be that the French government might under representations from the Tnrt- ed States, refuse to permit him to land.
 Say He Will Return
 Meanwhile, F.. A.. and H. F. Morse. sons of Morse, through their attorney issued statement declaring their ia ther had sailed under a passport is- sued to him in his own name and without knowledge of the govern ment's intended action before the grand jury. It was their Delief.s the statement said, that the government knew Morse had sailed before this contemplated action became known

RUM J! RUNNERS t: ] 0|NC BRISK
 NORWAY TRADE
Remain Outside Three Mile Limit Authorities Pow
 erless to Prevent.

COPENHAGEN. Oct 4-Europs erica. Fifty per cent of Danish shipping is still idle and many smaller craft are employed in or ganized smuggling of whiskey, gin and other alcoholic beverages to wet inhabitants of dry countries like Norway and Finland and in smaller degree to Sweden.
 A yachtsrl1an who has been cruis. ing in Norwegian waters told the correspondent that the price of a drink has doubled or trebled in Norway, where prohibition rules.
 Just outside the three-mile limit are anchored ships, mostly Danish and German, but also few British, with cargoes of prohibited drinks and round every one of these ships are dozen of small Norwegian boats waiting their turn to get part of the costly cargo.
 To assist Norway in enforcing her prohibition law, Denmark has pro- hbited the export and re-expoft oi spirits. This merely means that the smUgglers go to German and British ports to buy whiskey and gin and return once more to their. trading stations just outside Norwegian ter ritOry.
 The yachtsman said the Norwegian police and custom officials were pOwerless to deal with this industry and that practically every owner of a sailing or rowing boat in the lit tie towns on the Norwegian coast is smugglers.
 The smartest of the rum-runners have turned their saloons of their ships into cabarets and do roaring trade selling drinks over the counter.

 The reason as stated by the man. agement of the company for dis continuing the shift at the mine is that the mining equipment will not stand up and that a space of time is necessary between shifts each day to allow for repair work on equip ment.
