Mr.. Harding has never said publicly

words to members Of Congress. The
argument Is made on Capitol Hill that
when Mr.. Harding sees the over

he gracefully will bow to the man.

be futile.
Course Still In Doubt.
But Mr.. Harding has privately ex-
pressed resentment against the idea
that he wiggles and wabbles. and is
reported to be getting ready to give
a conspicuous example Of consistency
by vetoing the bonus bill. Prince
ton University gave Mr.. Harding a

it Is considered hardly likely that at
this time he will reverse himself

among republican leaders that Mr..
Harding will have a change OF heart

So strongly intrenched- has the

Capitol Hill imagines the President

Harding. let 1t be said that he hasn't

up about 2 a. M, and notified Miss
Leona Haefer, night telephone oper-
ator, who spread the alarm Soon
every available man was hurrylng
toward the bank.
When the bandits saw they wero
discovered, they jumped into their
automobile and sped out Of town,
leaving behind them huge sheet of
canvas and two acetylene tanks to
be used in opening the vault. ..
A. G.. Kirscht, cashier Of the bank,
said there was about $4,000 in cash
in the institution.

as a result Of examination of cer-
tain department of justice docu-
ments, evidence with the impeach-

Opportunity to examine certain pa

ing before the committee yesterday
as a withess called on its own in
itiative after the withdrawal of Rep
resentative Keller, Republican, Min

impeachment charges against the At
torney General. The papers he de-
sired to examine, he said, related to
the Wright-Martin case. Represen-
tativ c Johnson, Republican,, South

committee yesterday but stated the
charges he had made in the house
relating to alleged war frauds had
been directed solely at the war de-
partment.
The house judiciary committee
made preparations today to wind up,
before adjournment tonight, it's in
vestgation Of impeachment charges
made by Representative Keller, Re-
publican Of Minnesota against At

the passage Of the liquor outside Of

WILL FORCE
STATEMENT
FROM TURKS
Must Declare Openly, Policy
Regarding Settlement of
Straits Question
FACE CRITICAL DAY
Americans Believe Freedom
Should be by Treaty
FACE CRITICAL DAY
(By the Associated Press.)

1
Lausanne, Dec. 20.-On the eve of
what threatened to be a critical day
in the life of The Lausanne confer
ence, Ambassador Child last night
had long conversation with Ismet
Pasha about the straits problem,
which Lord NCurzon yesterday de-
clared must be disposed of imme-
diately.
1t has become known the Ameri-
can observers at the conference be-
lieve an international control COM
mission associated with the League
of Nations, as suggested in the alli-
cd plan for supervision of the Dar-
danellcs is unnecessary. In other
words the Americans believe free
dom of the straits should be an
actual freedom guaranteed by a
treaty between Turkey and the
other powers, and that it should not
be a. freedom limited by an interna-
tional commission.
The American observers have so
far on the conference floor limited
themselves to statements of the
most general terms on the Darda-
nelles question without suggesting
as to how the straits should be
kept open to commerce of the world
and to the fleets Of thepowers. Nei-
ther have there been intimations Of
Americas attitude toward an inter-
Irrational board of control.
Allied leaders last night served
notice that the Turks today must
either flatly accept or reject the
allied project for settlement of the
straits question. Failure of the Dar-
danelles negotiations, it was believ-
ed, will hardly affect the other
problems which the conference was
called to solve. @st
The atmosphere of the last ses-
sion on the straits problem was one
OF high nervous tension, With the
fear expressed in some conference
quarters that the reported American
opposition to the straits commission
plan was stiffening the Turks not
only the straits question but also
on vital questions like the customs
tariff and minorities. Although
there was uncertainty as to whether
Ambassador Childs, the American
spokesman, would voice the Ameri-
can views at today's meeting, every
delegation here claims to be cogniz-
ance of the fact that the naming of
an International commission meets
the strong disfavor of the United
States.
The meeting of the Near East con-
ference this afternoon for consider
alton Of the disposition of the Turk
ish straits, adjourned after con-
ciliatory speech by Ismet Pasha, head
of the Turkish delegation.
While no arrangements were made
for further meeting, delegates
leaving the auditorium said progress
had been made and that there was
no danger of break in the negtia-
tions.
