NO CONF |RMAT|ON
HARDING NOMINEE
Senate Adjourns Special Session
Without Approving Name Of
Pierce Butler as Associate
Justice Sup. Court.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The nomina-
tion Of Pierce Butler, democrat, at
torney of st. Paul, Minn., to be as
sociate justice of the United States
supreme court was not acted upon
in the senate today. Certain progress
sive elements in the senate had an
nounced their opposition to Butler.
The senate adjourned its special
session without taking formal ac-
tion on the nomination and thus it
automatically fails of confirmation.
President Harding must reforward
the nomination to the senate during
the next session if it is to be acted
upon.
Buffers nomination was in the list
presented at the executive session of
the senate but though other confir-
nations of lesser Importance were
made his name was omitted.

it was handled in way that gained
the approval Of the hundreds of pa

successes in the future years.
The gross receipts, according to re-

This border is the peace line in
Europe, in the Tigers opinion and
guarantee that Germany will be kept
on her own side of the line is the

This, then, he says, more than par

As for the league, Clemenceau in a
statement to the United Press de-
clared he would welcome American
participation. Not believing in the
league as the ultimate instrument Of
peace. he nevertheless believes it has
done some good and invites all Amer

Christ and that TO live up to those

zcnshlp. was the statement OF Rev.
G. II. James In an eloquent sermon
at the First Christion church last
night. the occasion being the annual
memorial csryiccs OF the Elks. held
in connection with the regular
church services.
Tho theme Of the sermon by Rev.
Mr.. James. was constructed around
the principles Of the order OF Elks
together with the motto Of the or.
dor. "The Faults OF Our Brothers
We Write Upon The Sands. Their
Virtues on the TABLETS Of Love and
Momor,."
Tho pastor took ~ each OF the
four principles OF the Ells and
showed how the living up to those
principles can do nothing but make
better men. a better community. a
better nation. He referred to the
address of The present grand exalted
ruler of the order. made at Atlantic
City and In which he demanded that
the mcmlcrs in every Elks lodge
In the country see that those prln-
elples are observed strictly In the
workings of the lodge and of the
members. under penalty of the can
collation. of the lodges charter who
does not respect those principles.
The speaker referred to the address
again. stating that in THAT address,
the head of the order mentioned
some charters which had been re-
voked, because the members of the
lodges in question, were not abodlng
by the teachings of the order.
The pastor stated in effect, that
no order founded on the high prln-
ciples of Elkdom, could have been
created in the minds Of unclean
men and that he believed that every
good Elk was doing his utmost to
live up to the teachings. He mon
toned also, the fact that those nom
bers who showed an inclination to
neglect their duty as an Blk along
these lines, would find themselves
gradually, but surely, dropped from
the rolls in the effort made by the
leaders of the order, both locally
and nationally, to keep the mem
bership clean.
A glowing tribute was paid to the
charity work done by the Elks and
for the splendid work done by the
order during the war. This tribute
was only surpassed by the words of
the pastor in referring to the honor
paid the memory of the departed
a list of which was read
by Exalted Ruler Cornwall.
A special musical program was
given in connection with the serv-
ices. 1t was opened by the church
choir singing a special arrangement
