Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. February 26.
The human side of Warren G. Hard
ing was revealed when he appeared un-
announced on the platform of the Flor
ida State School for the Blind. the
Deaf and the Dumb. A few years ago
this school would have been called a
home, where it's afflicted inmates might
have lived the remainder of their lives
in Incidence and mental misery. But
under the new order of things it is
classified as a school, and the young
people attending it are preparing them
selves to take an important and useful
place in the affairs of the world
When the head OF the institution
and suggested that the President-elect
come and make few remarks to the
children George Christian, Mr.. Hard
ing's secretary, remembering that Mr..
Harding has second sister afflicted
with blindness, thought it would be a
cipal of the school, personally to con-
yey the invitation to the President
elect. In less than an hour after the
interview had been arranged, Mr..
Harding was on his way to the school,
He was accompanied only by DR.. c. L.
SAWYER Oh NdTlOll, his idiuIly pHySI-
clan: by the writer and by Samuel T.
Williamson, another correspondent.
In His Golf TOEs.
The scene at the school was one not
easily to be forgotten. Less than a
mile outside of this ancient city, the
school is surrounded by profuse Florida
foliage.
Mr.. Harding was in golf togs when he
arrived at the school, and the silence
as he was ushered into the auditorium
was the impressive silence of an as
semblage of those who could not speak
or hear. or, speaking or hearing, could
not see. There were children in the
audience who were crippled. as if the
loss Of the senses of hearing. speaking
and vision were not affiiction enough
Possibly the Oldest students at this
strangely silent school were sixteen
years of age. There were others not
more than three or four. some happily
ignorant Of their handicaps, and talk
ing animatedly through the medium of
the language OF signs, some with sad
and lightless eyes. 1t required no
stretch of the imagination to see how
deeply Mr.. Harding was touched as he
sat on the platform, facing this unusual
audience. and waited for as strange an
introduction as a President elect OF the

JUDGE MAKESWAR
ON
Mcmahon in Court Says He
Intends to End Practice;
Orders Year Sentence.

There is too much of this carry
ing of concealed weapons, and l in
tend to try to put a stop to it," said
Judge Mcmahon in the Police Court
today in imposing a sentence of $50
days in jail on John H. Davis. colored

Davis was arrested by Policeman
John L. Keifer, who said he found

Views of Col. -kutz.
Col. Charles w. Kutz. Engineer Com
missioner, does not believe ''gun-tot
ing can be stamped out in Wash
inSton merely by the enactment OF
a local law restricting the sale of fire
arms to persons who have obtained
a police permit to purchase gun.
IF such a law should be enacted
for Washington without similar Iegis-
lation in the adjoining territory of
Maryland and Virginia" the colonel
pointed out, lit would still be COM
paratively easy for the vicious per-
SON to obtain weapon. OF course.
it would improve conditions to the
hard to obtain in the city"
The Engineer Commissioner in
dorsed the idea expressed by Com
missioner Hendrick in The Star sew
eral days ago. that every person
who possesses a firearm in the Dis
trict be required to register the wea-
pom with the police department.
Col Kutz said he is heartily in
sympathy with the efforts now being
made to check the promiscuous
carrying of weapons.
Sheep and Goats.
He voiced the fear that it would
not be an easy task to decide under
the police permit system who are
the lambs" entitled to buy guns and
who are "the goats" in whose hands
weapon would not be safe.
On the question of restricting the
sale of weapons in Washington and
not restricting such sales in the sur
rounding states. Col KutZ said it
would be like ordering motor trucks
in the District to be equipped with
a certain size of tires which could
not be used across the District line
The point of the Engineer Com
missioner is that the District of CO.
lumbia is too small a geographical
unit to have law of this nature
which would differ from the law in
the bordering states.

HOUSE MAY SETTLE
S24O BONUS TODAY
Vote on Senate Amendment
to Legislative Bill Will
Be Favorable.

The question of the s24O bonus for
government employees is expected to
be settled in the House of Represent
atives late today, possibly at the
might session. 1t is generally con-
Iceded that the police and firemen of
the District will be included in the
bonus provision, but that employees of
navy yards and arsenals will not re-
ceive the bonus.
Representative Will r. Wood of In
diana, chairman of the subcommittee
in charge of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, was
confident that he could get the con-
ference report on this measure
through the House today. The uues-
ton of the $24O bonus is the most i'm
portant Senate amendment on which
the House must take separate vote,
according to the viewpoint of District
residents.
Representative Wood expected to
get the attention of the House the
Grst thing today, but had to give
way for the conference report on the
emergency immigration legislation.
1t is probable that Chairman Fordney
of the ways and means COMMITTEES
will get the attention of the House

ing disposal of the immigra ton
measure.

LEAGUE QUANDARY
OVER j. S. YAP NOTE
Must Satisfy America and
Yet Keep Intact Supreme
Councils Prerogatives.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 26-While the
American note on the mandate ques-
tion has not been considered in the
sessions of the council of the league
OF nations since Thursdays meeting,
private conversations between the
members have been in progress with
Il view to finding way for giving
satisfa ction to the Washington gov
ernment without trespassing on the
prerogativeS of the allied supreme
council. DR.. Wellington koo. Chinese
member of the league council. has
been active in these conferences.
1t has been virtually decided that
consideration of both the series a.
and the series "B" mandates shall
be postponed. Meanwhile the league
body may. If it sees fit. send rep
resentative to confer with the su--
preme council regarding the points
sents itself lies in the series &C"
mandate to Japan. including the
Island of Yap. which the United
States has protested. this mandate
having been decided upon by the
supreme council.
Allies Must Consent.
1t appears impossible for the coun-
Gil of the league to take any action
rega riding the allotment of the Pacific
islands under this series of mandates
unless the allied governments con-
sent to have the matter taken out of
the hands of the supreme council.
The league council today took up
various questions relative to the free
city of DanZig.
The council took up the question of
disarmament yesterday. 1t will ask
the powers which signed at st. Ger
main, at the same time that the
Austrian treaty was signed, the con-
vention relating to control of traffic
in arms and munitions, to ratify this
convention, declaring that until this
is done no progress can be made in
this direction.
1t was decided to nominate a tenn
porary commission to consider a re-
duction in armaments. This body
will be composed of prominent pub
lie men, together with technical ex-
perts and representatives of labor
and of industries and some members
of military and economic commits
sions. Rene Viviani, former pre-
mier OF France. has been asked to
accept the chairmanship of this
commission.
Secrecy still Maintained.
A recommendation by the assembly
OF the League Of nations that an or
sahlZatlon be set up to verify mill
tary information supplied by its mem
oers. as provided for in the league of
naIons, cannot be carried out with

FOUR VALLEY CITIES
JOIN IN POWER FIGHT
(Snecial To The PreSS.l

Especial to The PreSs)
BRAWLEY, Jan. 11.-Four cities
in the valley, CaleXico, Holtville, I'M
perial and Brawley have joined hands
in a fight on the readiness to serve"
charge of the Hoton Power Company.
The city attorneys have been instruct
ed to get together and see what can
be done. Holtville is in darkness
through refusal to pay and all of the
cities are considering erection of mum
icipal plants of a central plant to
evade paying the charge, which is
viewed as unfair.
Some of the cities are advocating
Introduction of bill by Assembly
man Beal to abolish the railroad COM
mission or at least curb it's activities.
This has not reached the stage of ac-
tion.
Thousands of dollars are eXacted
from the cities by the excess
charge, according to figures presented
and these sums would go long way
toward paying for the upkeep Of a
plant.
