Oppose Rate Boost
With Costs Falling

Protest against an increase in rates
for certain classes of service by the
New Richmond Telephone Company, on
which a hearing was held today by
the public service commission, has been
fled by several New Richmond citizens.
The protest declares that the rates are
too high in view of the recent drop
in prices of materials.
1t was stated some time ago when
an increase was sought by the company
that objection was withheld because OF
the high material prices then prevailing.

DOPE
SHIFTS DAWES
TO WAR POST
Mellow Seems Leading for
Treasury, Also Desired by
Weeks.
INDIANA MAN IN MARION

MARION, Ohio, Jan. 15.-A shift in the
Harding Cabinet slate appeared to be
taking place today. Charles A. Dawes,
Chicago, who has been mentioned for
the Treasury post, is now being consid-
cred for the War Department, and An
drew Mellow. Pittsburgh, Pa, appears
in the lead for the Treasury.
This situation was further complicated
by the arrival of ex-senator John w.
Weeks, Massachusetts, who is under
stood to desire the Treasury post in
preference to becoming Secretary of the
Navy, as has been suggested by Hard1ng's
advisers.
Dawes would ft into the war job
equally as we'll as in the Treasury He
was one of General Pershings right
hand men in France. having had charge
OF all purchases for the expeditionary
forces. His experience with the volunteer
forces during the war also fts him for
the voluntary military training program
Harding has in mind, which contemplates
summer training camps modelled after the
Piattsburg camp.
WEEKS DESIRES
TREASURY JOB.
Senator Weeks himself, according to
his intimates, would prefer the Treasury
portfolio. Senator Harding and some
Of the Republican leaders are said to
desire that he take over direction of
the Navy. \ compromise may seat him
in the chair Of the Secretary Of War.
Senator Weeks objection to the Navy
post, it Is said, is based on the fact that
he was educated at Annapolis and is the
claSsmate and intimate friend ef many

would be under his direction

chairman of the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House, discussed with the
next President the tariff legisla tion which
viii be considered at the special session
of Congress. He is counted on to help
frame the schedules which viii make ef-
fective Senator Harding's plans for re-
vision of the tariff upward.
ODELL GIVES
CABINET ADVICE.
Former Governor b. B. OdeU of New
York held an extended conference with
Senator Harding and Is believed to have
touched on political organization and
Cabinet makeup.
Among other visitors during the day
were John ". Weaver of Huntington,
Ind; Mycr Bloomfield, publisher Of Bos-
ton, Mass, and Sidney Splitter of To-
ledo. Ohio.
Senator Harding, 1t may be stated On
the highest authority, is doing far more
worrying over the postmen than over
postmasters. He can get plenty Of post
masters.
Senator Harding, however, is deter
mined to strengthen both the force and
the morale of the postal employees and is
pledged to revision Of their salaries up
ward. He is giving deep thought, 1t is
said, to the reorganization of the Post
office Department and to the elimination
Of abuses which are alleged now to exist.

SaLUatiOn Fast
Pastor COnUinces Her Bible
Condemns Her Way of

DANvILLE, H., Jan. 15.-Mrs. Sadie
Harrington broke her fast today, after
abstaining from food for forty eight
days. following n twO-hour conference
with the Rev. G. S. Payne, overseer Of
the Church Of God in Illinois.
Il am ready for breakfast" she said,
after the Rev. Mr.. Payne had won the
victory.
The Rev. Mr.. Payne called Ada Percy,
\ nurse, to bring i cup of milk, which
Mrs Harrington Immediately drank.
Mrs. Harrington was very gentle and
submissive throughout my conference
with her and showed q wonderful spirit,
he said afterward.
"She did not attempt to argue with
me and [ stated incident after incident
in the Bible to prove to her that the
Lord did not expect any one to go with

MINISTER CALLED
FROM REVIVAL.
The Rev. Mr.. Payne was located IN
Eldorado. Ill. after search for him by
friends Of Mrs. Harrington, who wished
him 10 plead with the starving woman
to break her fast had failed. He had been
In Paris, Texas. conducting a revival
When informed that Mrs. Harrington
wished to consult with him, he came to
Danville Immediately.
The minister said 1t would take him
just half an hour to tell Mrs. Harring-
ton how to walk straight in the ways Of
the Lord.
Mrs. Harrington carried on her fast in
an effort to save the soul of her hus-
band. Ernie, and force him to take on
his butchers apron for the habilaments
of the clergy.
Il plan to visit her and point out the
error Of her ways in plain, common
sense manner" the Rev. Mr.. Payne said
when he arrived here. If you'll allow
NE to become a bit slangy, I am going
to talk to her like the well known Dutch
uncle"
NO DOUBT OF
HER SINCERITY.
The Rev Mr.. Payne said he did not
doubt the sincerity OF the woman and
was quite sure she is pious.
u believe she has fallen in with set
Of fanatics who have led her astray," he
said
The Rev. Mr.. Payne stated positively
that the church does not believe in fast
.ng.
Mrs. Harrington has no Biblical foun-
dation whatsoever for her fast. he con-
tinued. "Of course, Moses and Christ
asted, but look who they were--super-
men.
"Abstaining from food IS suicide. We
have very definite divine laws against
suicide
The Rev. Mr.. Payne, when told that
since she has started her fast Mrs. Har-
rington had said she was doing It not
only to save her husband, but also other
sinners, and that it was probable that
a new church would be founded on her
fast, said:
"The Lord in the Bible and the his
tory of churches never yet called q woman
TO lead such a movement. 1 don't see
why the Lord should change His pro-
gram now"
Mrs. Harrington appeared weaker. sHer
cheeks. however, were as rosy as ever
and she did not appear to have lost much
hesh.

Boxers Stage
Real Bouts at

Light on his rect, heady and IN

ton than the majority OF fighters
who participated in the Anerican

boxer, secured the only knock0u1
and really was the star OF the
whole performance.
The boy showed his ability In the
way he worked on his opponent1
Charley Curdy of Rochester,. He
took his time, maneuvered for
openings and played continuely ois
the kidneys and heart of the othe.1
lad, who, after all has been said
put up a good fight and showed
real gameness. Babe is on his way
10 New York, where he will be un1
der the watchful eye of jack

hope to hear more of him.
The bout between Murphy and

ment. In the fourth round the .retr
cree called a foul on the Kid after
the two boxers had whirled around
the ring in an attempt, it seemed.
to hurl each other over the ropes in

his game well by close in fighting.l

and knowing full well the power

Oregon Alone

oregon alone of all salmon pro

peared bfeore the ways and means
committee Monday night in behalf
of the commissions request for
$4,000 for the present biennium
In other salmon producing states
this industry which last year yield
ed approximately $12,00O,0O0 in
Oregon, has deteriorated into liza
bility, In the Puget Sound coun-
try, he declared, the salmon can
ming industry was faced with a
complete shutdown for term of
years in order to permit the indus
try to rehabilitate itself.
The situation in Oregon, War
rem declared, was due to the active
interest taken by the state in the
feeding and Matching of fish and
the protection of the young fry
until they have reached an age
sufficient to make them self-reli-
ant.
Feeding of fish is past the ex-
perimental stage in Oregon, accor-
ding to r. E. Clanton, master fish
warden, who contends that the
pack on the Columbia river which
has been holding its own for the
last seven years, can be doubled
with sufficient funds to extend the
feeding ponds and increase the
propagation of salmon fry.
Reliance upon natural propaga-
tion could only result in disaster to
the industry in this state, as it had

states, he declared.

Mrs. Kinney Again
Saves Woman Juror
Bill From Death

Mrs. William S. Kinney, the
only woman representative in the
house, has again saved the life of
her bill giving jury service to wo-
men, and it has been re-referred
to the committee on revision of
laws.
This was only accomplished af-
ter a spirited contest on the part
OF Mrs. Kinney, when the conf
mittee reported adversely to the
passage of the measure. Incidef-
tally, the discussion developed one
open supporter of the Kinney mea-
sure giving women the right to
serve on juries. This was Repre-
sentative Frank Davey of Marion
county, who grew eloquent on the
subject, telling of the demands the
community makes on the women
in various other lines Of work, and
who declared that he was per-
fectly willing to trust them with
jury service.
Representative Bennett of Coos
county declared that Mrs. Kinney
is trying to force on her sisters in
Oregon duties the burdens Of
which she does not realize, and
others urged that the provisions of
the bill were unworkable.
Mrs. Kinney insisted on a refer
ence to the committee on revision
of laws, stating that a second bill
has been introduced that should
be considered in connection with
this first measure, and that she
will insist upon the legislature go
ing on record as to its attitude re-
garding the granting of women the
right to serve on juries.
