LEGISLATION To

WITH PRESIDENT
Republican Senate Leaders
Plan to Take Up With Him
the Question of a Railroad
Measure.
any The AssoeIated rress.l J

Washington, Aug Z. Upon
President Harding's return from
his vacation, senate republican
leaders are to take up the ques-
ton of railroad legislation with
the executive. Whether the ad-
ministration bill for funding about
$500.000,000 of carriers debts by
the war finance corporation shall
be pressed immediately, or de-
ferred until after the proposed
senate vacation recess, is to be
determined>
Some doubt regarding the pres
dents wishes is held. At the re-
cent White House dinner to re-
publican senator's, the president
was said to have agreed to de-
laying the railroad bill over the
recess period planned. When the
president talked later with the
house republican leaders, he was
quoted as desiring prompt enact
ment of the funding bill. The
senators said tonight,
will be informed this week, that
1t would be impossible for the
senate to secure any vacation IL
the railroad measure should be
pressed Weeks of debate, it was
said, are certain. If the presi-
dent should consent to house ac-
ton first on the bill, the senate
leaders hope to pass the anti-beer
and Capper-Tincher grain gamb-
ling bills this week and adjourn
for month or six weeks.
Action on the railroad bill is
to be discussed also next Tuesday
by the senate interstate commerce
commission. whit Chairman Cum
Minis, who has been Ill. returning
to take charge.

Is Making An Effort to Per-
petuate Its Present ExCIu-
Sive Power in U. S., He
Says In Letter.

Washington, Aug. 7. - The
charges that "the dye monopoly,
headed by the Chemical Founda-
tion company" has sought to In
fluence three members of Presi.
dent Harding's cabinet in an effort
to perpetuate its present exclusive
power in this country" is made by
Representative F'rear, republican,
Wisconsin, in a letter to Chairman
Penrose, of the senate committee,
considering the tariff bill.
The Wisconsin member, who lead
the successful fight in the house
against the dye embargo in the
Fordney bill, referred specifically
to the letters written to Senator
Penrose by Secretaries Weeks and
DENLY. Mr.. Frear also declared
that Attorney General Daugherty
had failed to acknowledge or act on
his letter of July IS, asking that
legal proceedings be instituted to
set aside the Chemical Foundation
company"
"Brazen Effrontery."
"No invisible government" said
Mr.. Frear, "has ever shown more
brazen effrontery than this dye
monopoly. Not one line of evidence
in all the hearings, ] am informed,
suggests that this government de-
pended upon or received aid from
any dye esta Adjustments in the coun-
try during the recent war, and the
argument that we should preserve
this half billion dollar domestic dye
monopoly with its excessive prices
and enormous power because Of
approaching war and through need
of private protection Is both pre-
posterous and ridiculous.
Secretaries Weeks and DENLY
are reported by the press to have
written your committee simultane-
ously that the dye embargo should
be continued for that reason. If so,
they certainly had little informa-
tion on which to base such state
ments and caution is thrown to the
winds when dye interests bring

IN WORLD LAID FROM
DETROIT TO WINDSOR

Detroit, Mich, Aug. What is
said to be the largest telephone
cable in the world was laid across
Detroit river recently between De-
troit and Windsor, Ont, making 1T

ions simultaneously there between
the United States and Canada.
Direct trunk line connections be-
tween each of Detroit's sixteen cen
tral offices and the offices of the
Canadian company are made possi-
BILE, obviating the need of handling
calls between the two cities on a

troit's needs up to a population OF
100000.

it three and five-eighths inches in
diameter and 5000 feet long and
has an aggregate weight of 50,S70
pounds, 1t lies on the river bed,

at this conference the mission will
lay especial stress upon what is

fective. A brief in opposition to
this duty has been sent to the SEN

Mr.. Rubens said the proposed
duty would have the effect of ruin
ing Cuba both politically and fl

scribed as the unfortunate effect,
such as result would have on our

RESCUE SHIP BRINGS
SURVIVORS TO EUREKA

Eureka, Calf, Aug. Forty
eight persons, thirty-six passengers
and twelve of the crew, were lost
last night when the steamer Alaska,
of the San Francisco and Portland
Steamship company, southbound
from Portland, Ore, to San Fran
cisco, sank thirty minutes after
crashing into the rocks of Blunt's
reef, forty miles south of this city.
The survivors, numbering 166
persons, were brought here today
by the rescue ship Anyox, the first
vessel to reach the scene of the
wreck in response to the Alaska's S
radio signals. The coast guard tug
Ranger, dispatched early today
from Eureka, returned to port
with the bodies of twelve men.
Eight were members of the crew
and four were passengers. Captain
Harry Hobey, master of the Alaska,
is still unaccounted for and is be-
lieved to have gone down with his
ship.
OF the survivors landed by the
Anyox, thirty were more or less
seriously injured and received
medical treatment at the local hos
pitfalls.
The Alaska struck the reef bow
on in dense fog, according to the
survivors, and Immediately began
to list. The work Of launching the
life boats was accomplished with
out delay or disorder. Three of the
boats successfully rode the waves
but the fourth boat capsized and
precipitated its occupants into the
sea. The greatest loss OF lie, tne
survivors said, resulted from this
mishap. A few who wore life belts
succeeded in weeping afloat until
the boats Of the Anyox picked them
up. - -. 20
the life boats had been sent over
the side Of the rapidly filling Alas,
ka, went to the stern of his vessel
and he was seen there when 1t
started its plunge to the bottom.
