By Assoelate:i Press

Washington, March 12.-Plans of Sem ate leaders to end the special session to- day were overthrown by a combination Of further delays at the White House and capitol affecting important appoint ments on which the administration wants action before adjournment.
 Failure of President Harding to send ir his nominations for the shipping board is understood to have been the princi- pal barrier to bringing the session to a close It was indicated that the Pres- ident was having difficulty in inducing some of the men he wants to accept, and both he and the leaders in Congress are anxious to have the appointments made and confirmed before the Senate

George Harvey, the New York editor to be ambassador to Great Britain Selection of Colonel Harvey is understood to have been definitely decid ed on, and although MT. Harding was not ready to transmit the nomination to- day, the republican managers in the Sen ate received advance information of sucl4 positive character that they conducted a poll of the foreign relations committee on the question of confirmation.
 Still another cause for prolonging the special session was provided by Senator LaFollette, republican. Wisconsin, who

 EASIEST METHOD
 If any emergency measure is possible in advance of the permanent tariff, It must it seems to me- be confined to a simple anti-dumping provision, and pos sibly an amendment to the present tariff, basing rates on American rather than OF foreign values Such measure would be of value in saving the situation dur ing the period of consideration of per manent measure.
 While the passage of a tariff bill is highly important and should be accom- plished at the earliest possible date, it is equally important to let the people know as soon as possible the extent to- when they are to be relieved for the calendar year of the burdens of federal taxation.

oDJected to immediate consideration or the(nomination of former Representative James J. Esch of that state to be q member of the interstate commerce com mission. Under the Senate rules the nomination, sent from the White House yesterday, had to be put over until Moh- day.
 NUMBER CONFIRMED
 Meantime the Senate cleaned up most of It's slate of accumulated nominations voting tonfirmation of a number sent Tn earlier. in the week and of several that MT. Harding submitted today. Marx Potter of New York whose nomination to the interstate commerce commission, was sent to the Senate along with that of Mir. Esch, was one of those con firmed. Among the selections submitted by the President during the day and favorably acted on by the Senate were William B. Husband of Vermont, to ne commissioner general of immigration Harry H. Billany of Delaware, to be fourth assistant postmaster general, and Carl Mapes of Michigan, to be solcltor of the bureau of internal revenue
 Word that the President might ask for early action on the nomination or Coi- onel Harvey came as a surprise, the general expectation here having been that all diplomatic appointments would be put over until the session that IS to assemble next Month. John W. DAVIS, the retiring ambassador at London, IS ol his way home, however, and II was lh- dicated that MT. Harding had aoout de- eide it would be unwise to leave the post vacant until Congress reassem bles. The belief tonight was that the Harvey nomination, along with several selections for the shipping board. probably would be ready to send to the Senate early next week

by that when Jim Corbett stopped John

Among those who watched Dempsey
at work yesterday was Capt. r.. v.

Capt. Chandler, who has watched

was in doubt as to Carpenter being
able to take the knocks that Dempsey Is
capable of giving.
Another interested onlooker was q
giant named Jack Thomas OF East

ing champion Of the Great Lakes Train
Ing Station. and who may enter the ring
in the professional ranks.
Thomas said he was one OF the char
acters in the film that Dempsey p sed

scene the champion Knocked out two
players Of the opposing team who tried
to stop him when he had the ball. He
did not use his fists but merely clasped
the ball to his breast. lowered his head
and used it like battering ram on the
opposing line.
Dempsey told Thomas that he liked
football, although the rules permitted
much rough work that was prohibited
in boxing.
