 HARDING FOR VACATION

Marion, O.. Jan. 1s.-President-elect Harding has completed his conferences here on the policies of his administration and will leave Marion late Thursday night for St Augustine. Fla, where he will arrive Saturday, to spend most of the time remaining before his inRugura- ton.
 two weeks houseboat trip along thS shores of Florida Is to follow immedlafsi ly his arrival in the south and to give him a period of isolation both from the cares of his new responsibilities and from civilization itself Virtually all Of February he will live at a St Augustine ] hotel, mixing golf and relaxation~ with | the serious work of final preparation for the presidency.
 During the houseboat expedition. which is to be devoted mostly to fishing in the stretch of shore waters known as Indian | river. the president-elect will be the guest of Senator Frelirrghuysen of New Jersey. Several other senators and closs friends of Mir. Harding are to be in the party. but complete list of those who will go along has not been made public
 The trip will carry the president-elecf as far as Palm Beach or Miami, Fla. with several stops along the [zy to try the golf links at Daytona and other coast resorts. The trips ashore will be brief and far between, however, and during most of the voyage Mir Harding expects to cut himself on as completely as possl- ble from the ordinary currents of natlsn- | al life.

CRITICISED METHOD OF GOVT
 DURING SUGAR SHORTAGE

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Criticism Of the goyernmynts methods of sugar distri- button during the war, together with practically unanimous appeal of cane su- gar growers for a protective duty, mark cd consideration by the house ways and means committee today of revision or inc I'nderw ood tariff act as it applies 10 sugars. nlolasses and syrups.
 Practically the entire day was given over to testimony of conditions in the cane L.lts of the south. but representa- tivss of several refiners. among them for lnsr Representative John J. Fitzgerald of New York. were included in the wit nexsas and they stirred up the old-time strife between producers and refiners.
 Mir Fitzgerald declared that the gov ernment's policy during the sugar short age last year had been such as to penal i=e the whole nation in order to favor Louisiana producers.
 R F.. Milling of New Orleans. repre- sentinE the growers. retorted that the re- liners had sought to get a grip on the sugar industry and make the people pay for it"
 Earlier in the day the committee had heard tho request of a delegation from Porto Rico for a tarii: on sugar that would enable them to continue an indus try which they described as basic in the llso of the island.
 Few of the witnesses representing either the producers or the manufacturers of raw cane sugar attempted to suggest a specihc rate of duty. All were content with asking the committee merely to give them ample protection" Statements were made to the effect that the indus try would die unless some protection wert granted.

tics of production, distribution and costs which are to be made available to the public. No producers of a commodity like coal, impressed with public use, can reasonably object to this.
 ''The second method, to be applied only in emergencies and when found necessary by the federal trade commission with the approval of the president, allows price fixing, dealing in coal by the federal government, and authorizes control of the production, transportation, and sale of coal I think we have found there can be necessities of peace as well as necessities of war to justify the exist ence of governmental powers like these
 Isn't it fact" Senator Reed asked pr. Smith, that there was plenty of coal, at low prices, in this country prior to 1914 and the war;"
 pr. Smith replied that the industry had generally been fin bad condition and un- stabilized" and troubled with oyer-pro- duction, to which the Missouri senator responded that "over-production general ly is a good thing for the community at large"
 The Geological Survey head told the committee that the United States pos sessed half the coal resources of the world and possibly enough to insure a supply for thousands of years"

COOLIDGE ADDRESSED THE
 VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Montpelier Vt, Jan. 18.-Calvin Coolidge, vice president-elect addressing the Vermont Historical society in the hal lof the house of repres antatives here tonight, said that the great question Of the preservation of our institutions is moral one. Shall we use our power for self-aggrandizement or for service?' He ahked.
 After referring to visit as boy to the state house, where his father and grandfather served as members of the legislature, Mr. Coolidge slid:
 These surroundings make a proper setting for the Vermont Historical society, for there is nothing which so shadows forth the mighty and enduring influences of the past of the institutions of that form of government represented by the states of the American Uni-n. That which was represented in the establishment, support and perpetuation of the institu- tions of Vermont is the development ia it's purest form of the theory of equality and sovereignty of the people. The gorund for optimism lies not in the fact of past or present perfection, but in the hope and belief that progress has been made and will be made.
 History is to be studied and applied, not for the purpose of advocating re- action. It is not the accurately informed who continually appeal to the good old times to the disparagement of the present True history, whie ever a conservative force, yet holds the only warrant fol real progreess. It is ignorance of its teachings which leads men of good inten 1 tions to advocate either reaction or rev. olution, and a knowledge of it's forces which aids men to promote the public | welfare.
 States grow and there is an inexorable law of their growth. They must gc through the process step by step, Liberty is not bestowed, it is an achievement, but it comes to no people who have not pass. ! ed through the successive stages whicI 1 "Coincident with tn political develop ment of mankind has gone along tn, forces of philosophy and of religion
 'Nat enough credit is attributed t< these in the development of government society and civilization, All of thos, | mghty influences have gone into the 1nak ng of the institutions of Vermont. IT their light thosee institutions are justified entitled to our support and confdenc, and to our behalf in the perpeetuity
 There is always the force of evil without and within. It is difficult to say that any great nation perished by reasol of an attack from without. Disintegra tion begins within. We are the posses sors of tremendous power, both as indi
 viduals and states. The great question o
 the preservation of our institutions
 moral question. Shall we use our DOW
 CT for self-aggrandizement or for service
 It has been a lack of moral fibre whic has been the downfall of @.e peoples O
 the past"

 turned to the room we were occupying in l the private car" Lieutenant Kloor said. It was while Hinton was gone on this
 mission that the fight occurred, but the | witneSs made no mention of it.
 ''The conduct of Lieutenants Hinton
 and Farrell, on our return from Mattice to this station.' he continued, was In
 TO way qdestionable."
 l Concluding hls testimony, Lieutenant | hloor turned to he press table and smiled
 at dozen newspaper men, who were
 amusing themselves by discussing his ap. | parent evasion of the question on the
 aehonaut's conduct. He was then ex-
 cused by the court.
 During the weeks they spent in ice bearded forests, at Moose Factory and in trudging through the snow back to civ. ilization Lieutenant Kloor said each of the men made sacrifice afteu sacrifice. .'
 He did not think there was any one par ticular hero

GERMAN EMPIRE WAS

Berlin. Jan. 1s.-The 50th anniversary of the founding of the German empire afforded the nationalist press opportunity for indulging in partisan contemplation of the nations present political and econ omic plight and the ultimate working out of democracy as vouchsafing the fhtdre unity of the German people.

"No people on earth are so poorly adapted to entire unbridled democracy as we," the newspaper asserts.

Bills Poured in to
 House and Senate
Committee on Appropriations Considered a $1,000, 900 State Institutions Deficiency Bill.
(By a Staff Correspondent

Hartford. Jan. 1S-As was expected for the first day of the third week of the session, there were big patches of bills presented in both the house and the sen- ate, and at the end of the legislative day all the bills presented in the house were transferred to the senaet for concurrence in committee reference, and vice versa. After this preliminary is completed the bills will be taken over by the commit tees and in due time public hearings will be announced on the several bills and they will then be reported back in some form for final action in the house where they originated first and then for concur renee by the joint body. All bills in the legislature must have the favorable ac- tion of senate and house before becoming law. The sessions of the house and sem ate weer short in order to give commit tees opportunity to meet for organiza- ton.
 One bill on civil service came from the commission and embodies the ideas of It's members as to a measure which will be more effective than the law which is on the brink of repeal The main feature in this draft is that department head, in seeking exemptions in his office. would first apply to the commission instead of as in the past going direct to the gover- nor for permission. The governor would hear appeals, as it were. on adverse de cisions.
 The movement for eradication of mos quito breeding marshes took legislative form in shape of a bill to accomplish thii end and carrying an appropriation oi $500 for the work. The first bill to readjust salaries wal that which would affect clerks of the su perior courts. ,a- The drawing of seats in the house wal as interesting to the uninitiated as wal the old-time Louisiana lottery to thu ticket holders, the difference being -tha | the drawings at the lottery were on thu | level. According to the rules of tn, | house, the chairmen of committees ant the deaf are given choice of seats.

TO REPORT NOMINATIONS
 z=----~s---='- OF 5,6S4 ARMY OFFICERS

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Inaction by the senate on the thousands of nominations submitted at this session by President Wilson was broken today and the way paved for confirmation before March 4 of emergency appointments
 Attempts of democratic senators to force an executive session. none of which has been held since congress assembled last month, resulted in an agreement be- tween party leaders to refer to appro- priate committees, with instructions to report the nominations of 5,534 army of- f1cers recommended for permanent com missions by the Pershing board and now holding temporary appointments.
 This agreement was reached after Sen- ator Lodge, the republican leader, had given notice that his party would not tolerate any tendency on the part of the present administration to place its fol. lowers in office to the embarrassment of the new administration, and after Sena. tor Underwood, the democratic leader had assured the republicans that rthert was no desire on his part to do that The agreement, it later was said, might lead to action before March on a few other nominations of an urgent nature.

SAYS SILK INDUSTRY HAS
 SUFFERED FROM SPECULATION

New York. Jan. 1s.-The silk industry has suffered from speculation more far reaching. greater in dimension, more in- sidious in scope, than anything the world has seen since the Mississippi bubble, D George N. Dunlop, silk manufacturer, de- c.ared in an address here today at the convention of the Jobbers' Association of Dress Fabric Buyers.
 Blame for this condition was placed upon the great number of so-called silk jobbers' by MT. Dunlop who said that they had also affected the yarn. the raw silk and piece goods business
 Merchandise was withheld for the purpose of speculation" he added, From legitimate commerce and usage, and eventually created reservoirs of supplies that. when they broke. through financial pressure. inundated us all"
 He declared that with the cooperation of "our work people we can continue tc pay present wages and continue to keer them steadily employed"
