UPON FIRST OFFICIAL VISIT TO "LAND OF FLOWERS
Harding Spends
A Quiet Sunday
At White House
(sy The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Continu-
ing a practice he followed while he
was senator, President Harding mo-
tored this morning to Grasslands, an
obscure clubhouse in the suburbs of
the capital, and had breakfast with
ate.
The president left the white house
shortly after 8 o'clock, accompanied
only by secret service men, and re-
turned an hour and a half later. His
early morning experience was sonie-
what of a deviation from the usual
habits of a president, no chief execu-
tive since Cleveland having dined at
any of the capitals clubs except on
rare occasions.
AT the breakfast Mr.. Harding was
the guest of Senator Frelinghuysen of
New Jersey and during the visit he
met a score of those who in the past
have made a practice of breakfasting
there before a round of golf.
Mr.. Harding spent the remainder of
the day his first Sunday In the white
house, with members of his family
He made a short call at his office late
In the forenoon and in the afternoon
spent some time in the seclusion of the
west white house grounds walking
about with his new Aireda1e dog, Cas-
well Laddie Boy. A report that the
Hardings would attend church this
morning attracted small crowds to
and about all the Baptist churches of
the capital but the president and Mrs.
Harding appeared at none of them.
No announcement was made at the
white house tonight regarding the time
of the first cabinet meeting of the
new administration, but the general
expectation was that it would be held
tomorrow or Tuesday. The presidents
first task tomorrow morning will. be
the preparation of a list of nonina-
tions to be sent to the senate when
1t convenes at 10 o'clock, including ap-
Hpointnent of assistant secretaries in
several of the government depart
ments. Some of these appointments
were ready to go to the capitol Sat
urday but an early adjournment of
the senate prevented their transmits
sion.

JAPS APPEAL
TO HARDING
fsx Tire Associated Pressl -.

TOKIO,s March Sat meetings Of
business men here today it was de-
.cided to send a cable dispatch to
President Harding and United States
Senator Borah urging them to use
their influence for restriction of arm
,ament and also to request the Japan
ese diet to apply a part of the ap-
preparation for armament to educa-
tional and social improvement. Banji
Muto, chairman of the principal meet
ing here today, said he feared that the
adoption of the budget by the Japan
ese house of representatives without
modification would cause a reaction
in the United States in favor of arm
ament, despite the fact that the coun-
try previously was hostile TO an in
crease.

convoy was ambushed, had motored
each morning TO Mallow, where he
presided over the coroners inquest
into the murder there recently of Mrs.

voy yesterday from high ground on
both sides OF the road. The driver OF
the first car was seriously wounded by
the frst volley and the car plunged
into ditch. All the soldiers left the
cars and went into action but the
armored car, i'm endeavoring to pass
that of General Cumming, ran into
the ditch. General Cumming was hit
in the head shortly after leaving his
car and died instantly. The firing
went on for an hour. during which a
lieutenant also was killed.
Few of the ambushing party could
be seen as the tight proceeded, the
slopes on each side Of the road being
thickly covered with bushes. Mines
had been laid but they failed to ex-
plode.

TOXIC, March 6.-Japan will nF
yield an inch on the question of her
mandatorial rights on the Island OF
Yap, an official OF the Japanese for
eign office told The Associated Press
today. She may, however. make some
concessions concerning disposition of
the Yap cable station, he added.
The recent declaration of Viscount
Ishii, this Official continued, was made
on his own initiative, but represents,
on the whole, the attitude which the
Japanese government finally will take
with regard to the entire Yap ques-
tion.
The disposition OF the cables, he as
serted, is a matter for settlement by
the international conferences on inter
national communications, but japan
may make concessions concerning the
Guam line to the extent Of handing
over to America the Guam end. Ja-
pan, however, would continue to hold
the Yap end by virtue of her SOW
ereignty over the island. granted by
the allied supreme council and rati-
fled by the league of nations.
Prima facie title to the cable was
obtained by Japan during the war, he
maintained. when Japan cut the Yap-
Guam cable.
Asked concerning Japan's attitude
toward the conference between the
United States, Great Britain and Ja-
pan on disarmament, which it is re-

MR.. x. Il. LEIGH AGAIN LEAVES
FOR NEW YORK.

Mr.. r. f. Leigh leaves tonight on
his second trip this season to buy
more ladies' ready-to-wear for the
Woman's Store. Mr.. Leigh states
that he has been doing a rhenominal
business this spring and although it
has been only three weeks since he
returned from the market he finds
1t necessary to return for more goods.
Although the season has just started
this store has already done a full sea-
sons business. AS the stock is sold
almost as soon as it is received, it
requires constant buying in order to
keep the assortment up to what his
trade requires and as ordering by
mail is not at all satisfactory he has
decided to remain in New York dur
ing the busy season, where he can
keep in touch with the market and
ship out garments daily. This great
increase IN business Is remarkable
when you consider that most stores
are complaining of dull business and
the scarcity of money. Mr. Leigh
attributes his wonderful increase
in business to the fact that he keeps
his stock fresh with the newest styles
and to his very reasonable prices. BY
selling for strictly spot cash he has
at all times money To obtain the low
est price cash buying obtains. This
store is a big asset for Columbus for
trade from the surrounding country

to-wear at Leigh's.
