Penrose Insists He
Had No Hand in
Harding Cabinet

Senator Penrose yesterday widened
his hands-off attitude to cover ma
ttonal as well as Pennsylvania poll
tics when he announced that he had
not attempted to interfere in the
selection of the next Cabinet.
Senator Penrose's statement was
inspired by a report published yes
terday morning that he had written
to Harding in opposition to the Sc
lection of Hughes for Secretary of
State.
All can say so far as I am con-
cerned," said Penrose, 'is that there
is nothing in the story. 1 have not
written to Harding since he has been
elected.
Il have always looked upon the
Presidents Cabinet as largely based
on his own personal selection, and
as far as am concerned 1 have not
attempted to interfere in the Cabi-
net of the President of the incoming
administration or any other Repub-
lican Cabinet of the past.
II shall cordially support any or
ganization Of his Cabinet that Mr..
Harding may desire, and expect to
do all l can to promote the success
of the administration.
Il have no indication of any kIas
as to the personnel Of the. future
Cabinet"

SorrolD for Sick Sister
DriUes Woman to Suicide

DANvILLE. Va. Jan. 19.-Mrs.
Loula H. Tatum, 56, resident of Big
Stone Gap, here on a visit, sIashed
her throat from ear to ear early this
morning after telling friends she
proposed to do so.
She was overcome with a form of
dementia caused by the critical ILL
ness of her sister, Mrs. W. w. Glad
stone, who last week asked Mrs.
Tatum to come here and tend her
children while she underwent an op-
Grafton For two days she had been
under surveillance. While her niece,
Ruth Tatum, was preparing break
fast her aunt secured a razor and
holding her head over a bucket
severed the carotid artery.
She left a note urging the family
not to grieve over her death as she
could not stand the misery" The
remains were sent to Patrick County,
her old home. News is being with
held from her sister.

COMPROMISE SEEN
ON IMMIGRATION
Harrison Change of Stand Is
Taken as Move to Less
Drastic Measures.

A compromise on the immigra-
tion bill in the Senate appeared
likely yesterday. Senator Pat Har-
-ison, who heretofore has been in
avor of more drastic restrictions
than are contained in the Johnson
bill, announced that he would sup
port a move to ADMIT foreigners on
a percentage basis taking the aver
age immigration of the past few
years as a basis.
This, advocates OF the measure
say, would obviate the objection to
the Johnson bill and prevent the
south and southeastern countries of
Europe from flooding this country
with immigrants. Under the John
son bill it's opponents say the un-
desirable aliens would be the only
ones admitted and all others would
be kept out.
Proponents of the compromise
plan which originated in the sug-
gestion of Senator w. P. Dillingham;,
OF Vermont, would limit the number
of foreigners admitted in the next
six months to fixed percentage of
the number that had been admitted
for the five years prior to the war
from any one country. Such a plan,
it is said, would not restrict immi-
grafton entirely but would keep the
flow of immigration from all sec
tions at the normal prewar rate and
prevent the entrance of the unde-
sirables in too large numbers.
No less than $4,000 children of
Texas last session did not attend
school at all because no teacher
could be found for them.

WIDOW APPEALS
ESTATE DISPOSAL
Aftermath of Fatal Auto Ac-
cident Fought Out at
Frederick.

FREDERICK, Nd. Jan. 1s. The
petition Of Mrs. Edmund Berger,
wife Of the Washington man who
was killed in an auto accident here
several weeks ago, to have revoked
the letters of administration on her
husbands estate, previously granted
to Alban NJ Wood and George X.
Dennis, local attorneys, was denied
in the Orphans Court here. Mrs.
Berger has taken an appeal to the
Maryland Court OF Appeals.
Mrs. Berger claims that when her
husband left Philadelphia for Wash
ington he had about $4,000 in his
pockets. From this fund she said
he paid $3.50 for the 240 quarts OF
whisky and "a quarts Of gin found
in his machine after It was wrecked.
Mrs. Berger claimed that several
pieces Of jewelry which her husband
had in his possession were stolen
before the body was removed from
the scene of the accident

STAND
MODEL 1860. K.D
Platform Will Be Small and
Simple, With no Seats;
Like Lincoln's.

The stand upon which Warren G
Harding will take the oath of
President March 4 will be similar
to the small and simple one where
Abraham Lincoln was sworn in
sixty years ago.
1t will occupy the same position
on the east steps Of the original
Capitol, and will be only large
enough to take care of the speakers
and principals in the ceremonies
and other dignitaries, including tn
retiring President. 1t will seat no
guests. Members of Congress will
find space on the tier of steps sur
rounding the stand, and roped of
on the lower steps and on either
side will be guests from the gal
leries. The stand will have a top
equipped with amplifiers for carry
ing the voices to the vast public
expected to gather on the plaza in
front Of the Capitol, and a guard
rail will sweep the front of the
stand, in which two respects the
scene will especially differ from
those attending the second Lincoln
ceremony in 1855.
The arrangements were perfected
n I d IIlEElluS yesterday VI Tic JUN
Congressional Inaugural Committee
Of which Senator Knox, of Pennsyl-
vania, is chairman. Elliott Woods
superintendent of the Capitol, was
authorized to resume the prepara-
tions.
Woods said last night the expense
Of building the stand probably
would be no more than $500, ex-
elusive of the decorations and po-
licing. The Sergeant-at-arm of the
Capitol probably will be able, with
the assistance of the local military
bodies, to police and protect the
crowds with his Capitol staff, 80
that the costs will be held down to
a very small proportion of the $50
900 which has been provided by
Congress to pay for the inaugural
ceremonies so far as the govern
ment is concerned.
There is no limit to the crowd
that can be accommodated under
this arrangement, for there is
standing room on the Capitol plaza
for 100000 or more. II the weather
is propitioUs the attendance may
be as large as If the original plans
for the ceremony had been carried
out.

TARIFF BILL GIVEN
RIGHT OF WAY in
SENATE BUSINESS
Penrose's Jockeying Puts
Measure in Advanta-
geOus Position.

The emergency tariff bill gained
the right of way in the Senate yes
terday as the unfinished business of
the body with but little prospect
that it would be passed before.
March I.
Senator Penrose placed the meas
ure in a privileged position by a
Jockeying, but in addition to the
tain from some quarters on the
Republican side the bill will GER
tainly meet with a determined Dem.
ocratic filibuster.
Battle May BE Drawn Out.
In preparation for long drawn
out battle the Democrats have Of
fered as amendments to the tariff
bill the Little bill. containing more
than 10000 pages. which provides
for the recodification of the national
laws, the bonus bill and the immi-
grafton bill. Extended debate on
any one of these measures, disre-
garding altogether the time that it
would take to read them, would be
enough to block any possibility of
action on the tariff measure.
In addition time must be found
between now and the fourth of
March for the consideration of the
appropriation measures that have
not been acted upon yet by the
Senate and these number twelve.
Senator Penrose already has an
nounced that the tariff bill would
be sidetracked for the purpose OF
considering the supply measures.
Many Obstacles in Way.
An initial obstacle to its consid-
Grafton will come up at the morn
ing hour today when the Nolan
minimum wage bill, heartily sup
ported by Senator Johnson, will
have the right of way until 2
o'clock.
Republican opinion is crystallizing
more and more firmly. it was ascer-
tained, in favor OF an emergency
tariff measure of broader scope to
be enacted at the special session
which President-elect Harding has
announced he will call.
Suggestions of the use of the
cloture rule have been made as
there are seven or eight Democrat
Senators who have turned protec-
Zionist and would probably support
time limit on the tariff debate.

Morrow Admits perhaps
There Was 100 Per
Cent Boost"

Admission that perhaps there
was an increase Of 100 per cent to
consumers at some Virginia mines
last summer" was made by ]. D. A.
Morrow, vice president Of the Ma
tional Coal Association, before the
Senate Manufacturers Committee
yesterday.
Morrow made this statement un-
der examination by Senator Walsh,
of Massachusetts,, a member Of the
committee, which has under consid-
Grafton the calder bill for govern
ment regulation Of the coal indus
try.
Were @GreatIy Exaggerated.7
Previously Morrow had said that
reports Of high coal prices paid by
consumers and profits made by pro-
ducers were greatly exaggerated" :"

this, but the supporters Of the bill
will not consent. and say they eX-
pect to pass the original bill
Houston Thompson, chairman OF
the Federal Trade Commission, de-
scribed the fruitless efforts Of the
commission to obtain production
costs and other information from
the coal operators
La Toilette Sees no ExaEgeratlon.
Senator La Toilette. chairman, OBJ
served that there was no exaggera-
tion about prices he paid
J. D. A Morrow. vice president OF
the association, insisted that the
proportion OF coal sold at high
prices at the mines is very small"
He declared that average profits to
coal operators were only 35 or 90
cents per ton for the first nine
months of 1920. The average mine
selling price was $3.47 and produc-
tion cost S2.76 per ton, he said. Half
Of the 71-cent margin remaining
was taken by taxes and interest, he
added.
BIames SwItchmen's strike.
The switchmen's strike last April
and consequent tieing up of the
transportation" was the real cause"
of the coal shortage and higher
prices. Morrow declared, denying, in
response to long interrogations by
Walsh. that exports of coal caused
the domestic situation.
Anthracite coal is becoming a
luxury" because of limited fields
which have already reached the pro-
duction peak. Morrow told the COM
mittee. However, there is practi-
calIy an unlimited supply Of bitumi-
nous coal, he said.
TT simply means that the East,
which has, been accustomed to burn
ing hard coal. will have to change
to soft" he added.
