Harding Decides Consoli- dation Of National De- fense Agencies Will Increase Efficiency
CUTS DOWN COSTS
Creation Of New Depart ment Of National De fense Will Do Away With Minor Agencies And Officiels
By HERBERT COREY

~'WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The de- paftments of war and navy are to be telescoped into a single depart ment of national defense. This is terrible news to a lot of professional soldiers and sailors, but it seems to be authentic. There is conviction in some high places that the army and navy-admirable as they are have not functioned separately with an the efficiency that might tc hoped if they function collectively. If and when, as Wall Street says. the amalgamation is made, this will be the lineup:
 For secretary of the department of national defense, John w. Weeks, now secretary of the war department.
 For sub secretary in charge of the usHy. Edwin Denby, now secretary of thR navy department.
 Tor sub secretary in charge or the army, probably J. Mayhew Vain wright, now assistant secretary of war
 Harding Wants Change
 The fundamental reason why the two departments are to be telescoped into one is that President Warren Gamaliel Harding-in his youth re spelled it ''Gamalia"-has determined upon it. He believes the merger to be a common sense and businessiike thing to, do. He has not swung g big stick nor has he tried to brow beat any one into his way of thinking But he has displayed disposition te be unalterably firm whenever he II certain that he is absolutely right Any firm president-to generaiizt broadly-can have his way in Wash. ington. Little by little the opposi- tion is fadnig.
 The first suggestion of this mov' came, so far as it's genesis is known from officers of the army and nav. stationed at London during the war There came a time when Winston Churchill was in sole charge of Grea Britain's military and naval activ ities No one credits Churchill witl ! any extraordinary ability except fo putting his foot in it. But the arm,

|ANTI-bEER BILL EXEMPTS' THE HOME FROM SEARCH
 WITHOUT LEGAL WARRANT
IRepubIIcan A. P. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2o.-The conference report on the anti-beer bill, definitely agreed on today and presented to the senate, exempts mans home from search without a warrant obtained in due course of law, but requires no warrant to search other property provided an of ficer acts without malice and has reasonable cause to suspect the pres ence of liquor.
 Along with the presentation of the report word reached the senate that prohibition leaders of the house had declared there would be no recess of congress until the measure had been finally enacted. Senate leaders, on the other hand, announced that it was hopeless to except senate ac- ceptance in view of the rejection by the conferees of the Stanley amend ment, passed unanimously and de- signed to protect the home and other property from indiscriminate search through imposition of heavy penal ties.
 Senator Ashurst, Democrat of Ari- zona, who '.bolted' the conference early in the week, and Representative Dyer, Republican of Missouri, failed to sign the report. It was approved however. by Senators Sterling and Nelson, Republicans, and Representa- tives Volstead, Republican, and Sum- ners, Texas Democrat.
 The only polnt at issue in final deliberations of the managers was the searching provision. In reaching a compromise both the senate and house amendments on the subject were discarded. In their place the conferees adopted the following sec l ton:
 Section Six: That any officers agent or employe of the United State: engaged in enforcement of this act or the national prohibition act, ol any other law of the United States | who shall search any private dwell | ing as defined in the national prohi
 bition act, and occupied as such ; dwelling without a warrant directin: such search, and who while so en gagged, shall without a search war rant, maliciousiy and without req ! sonable cause, search any othe or DS | of a misdemeanor and upon convic
 ton thereof shall be fined for tn firA offense not more than 5000. ant for a subsequent offense not nor than $10eO or imprisonment, not nor
 than one year, or both such fine ant 1 imprisonment.
 Any person not being an officer agent or employe of the Unite'
 States, who shall falsely represen himself to be such officer, agent o employe. and in such assumed char
 acter shall arrest or detain any per

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Aug. 20.- Men from the Paint Creek and Cabin creek coal fields along the Kanawha river assembled at Marmet. near here, today with the avowed inten- ton, it was reported to the state authorities, of making demonstra- tion against Mingo county. where martial law has been in force for several months as the outcome of an industrial controversy of long stand ing. Some six or eight hundred men were in the party. and it was said they would begin to march to- morrow morning. reaching Mingo through Boone asd Logan counties
 It has been reported on several oc- casions that the men. many of whom are not steadily employed. would march on Mingo. but surprise was expressed this afternoon when the news reached state officials that the movement was well under way. Col onel Jackson Arnold. commander oi the state police, declined to discuss the situation. nor from any other official source was any information given out.
 It was known. however. that later in the afternoon crowd of men estimated at fully six hundred. had collected in a hollow about one mile from the railroad station at Marmet Armed guards patrolled the road leading to the rendezvous and strangers were excluded. A cor respondent who succeeded in passing the guard and mingled with tht crowd said upon his return here that he was quickly singled out and made to state his business.

HARDING URGES COOPERATION T0 GUT LOSSES IF BOARD

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-The closest CO., operation between congress and the administration in an effort to minimum was today urged by President Harding in a letter to Sen ator Jones. Republican, of Washing ton. read to the senate during con- sideration of bill carrying s4S,50o,- 900 for the boards activities The president said there had been '.un- speakable losses and unutterable wastes" which must be charged to the war emergency.
 Chairman Lasker's effost to get big mep to aid in putting the board on its feet was approved by the presi- dent who sud if they could end op- erating losses their salaries would be more than testified.
 At the same time there was pre- sented a letter from Chairman Las gross would be called upon to ap- propriate $500. 100000 in outstanding claims inherited from the former ad- ministration-
 The presidents letter giving his views at length on the general ship ping situation follows:
 "I could not fail to note the dis satisfaction expressed in both house and senate CT the very unsatisfac- tory condition of the affairs of the shipping board and the reluctance of congress to make appropriations for the continued activities of the board without putting specific restraints upon the boards activities in em- ploying agents of relief. From your position. you are prob z, for xa-fel fho af f1ir of the board as I am and l hope you will make it point to lay the exact but unpleasant truth before your col leagues.
 There are approximately S200, ,00o.- 900 in claims against the shipping board. No business man would ven- | ture upon the settlement of these claims without highly capable legal representatives. The staggering loss es in operation can only be cured by | a board of operators whose members know something concerning the busi- ness These men could not be secured without giving up private pursuits which are vastly more profitable than the average administration salary un- der the government. and Chairman Lasker has proceeded with my hearty approval in the requirement of men equal to this task. If theil ! knowledge of the business will en- able us to put an end to operating losses, as we very much hope to do their requirement for government ! service will be justified a hundred fold.'

 As repeal of the excess profits tax and higher income surtax rates would not become effective until January l next, the full force of the measure win not be reflected in government receipts until the calendar year 1923 but Republican leaders say that the repeal of the transportation and other taxes and reduction in the tax bill in the next calendar year will be ap- | preximateiy s512.0o0.d 600.

 Under those conditions, with the icy hand of fear resting on his heart, should he take counsel of folly and like a scared rabbit run in the wrong direction and make inconsistent statements, would such statements necessarily be conclusive proof of his guilt?"
 Hightower reiterated past declara tions that he would be willing to be tried by a jury of Catholic priests with the one condition that no one on the jury be less than 40 years old. The earnestness of purpose and the calmness of judgment" of priests of this age, would easily overcome their prejudice against me- he said.

The Advertiser and the Press.

Here is some food for thought from
the monthly bulletin of the Laundry
Owners National association: If you
are now an advertiser, buying space
with the newspapers, you have taken
the first step toward being friendly and
have indicated that you realize that it
is possible to build up your business,
and at the same time build business
for the newspaper. You have shown
a desire to cooperate. You may be as
sIred that the newspapers will want to
continue this business relation and they
will meet you half way in order to do
so. If you are not an advertiser, then
the right kind of newspaper will take
the first step, and make a bid for bust
ness. They will send their advertising
man in to talk things over" But,
Why wait for the press to take the first
step? Beat 'em to It," and you drop
into their Office and talk things over"
You'll he surprised, and will profit for
your time. Newspapers are anxious to
do the right thing and it's up to you to
cooperate. We are apt to treat with
more respect and courtesy those with
whom we have business dealings.
