him the governorship of the federal reserve board.
 The elimination of a report to this effect is strongly indicative of he probability that the President is still too busy to give consideration to a successor for W. P. G. Harding of Alabama, whose term expired Au- gust g.
 In the meantime. certain politicians in the Senate who, for political rea- sens, inveighed against the deflatiou policy of the Wilson administration. chuckle in that they have secured the elimination of Governor Harding; and certain republican metropolitan news- papers are severely criticislng tho President in that he has yielded to that clamor which would put the great fiscal system of the govern ment into the mire of partisan po1i- ties.
 For there is every reason to be- lieve that the President will name & republican to succeed the democrat W ho was not reappointed.
 No Change Possible
 Some of the southern senators who lent a sympathetic ear to the almost daily attacks against Governor Hard ing delivered by Senator Heflin of Alabama, and Senator Watson of Georgia, have abut concluded that they have jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
 At tho head of the board at the present time iH Edmund Platt, vice governor. He always sponsored the administration of Governor Harding and ardently defended it against so l. atorial critics. He has brought about no change in the policies of the for mer governor. There is only this diff ference between the former governor and the acting governor. Harding is a southerner and a democrat; Plat is a native of New York, and a re- publican of the so-called reactionary school.
 Likewise. there is no question but that the man eventually to be named governor of the board will be a northener. n "standpat" republican without knowledge of. much less sympathy for. the southern farmer, and one skilled in the science of banking as banking Is done on Wall street. There is. furthermore. no question but that the appointee will administer the duty of governor just as 1t was administered by Governor Hardin.

President Anxious For Establishment
 Of Ship Subsid,

Washington, August 27.-(Special.) ) The Presidents agreement that ship subsidy legislation be postponed un- til another session of Congress was not voluntary.
 He resisted the plea of closely pressed politicians that they be not required further to jeopardize their chances of reelection by espousing subsidy bills. But when leaders frankly told the President that sub sidy could not prevail until after the elections-that western House mem bers simply would not support 1t un- til after the clouds" had rolled by he agreed to defer action. The agree ment of the President greatly sur prised newspaper correspondents who had been taken in to the executives s confidence.
 It was known that the proposed subsidy bill was closer to the heart of the President than any other pro- posed legislation. It was known that it was the ambition of the President to be known hereafter as the execu tive who had restored the American flag to the seas, had established Q merchant marine on 6 firm, a per- manent basis.
 It was known that tho President felt that a merchant marine was question of now or never; felt that the defeat of tho proposed bill would mark the beginning of the retrogres- sion of this nation. At one time the President was full of fight. The blandishments of the timid members of his own party failed to move him. He was determined that action be had as quickly as possible.
 Solemn Promises
 August when the republiCan members of the House desired to re- cess, the President refused to agree. Finally. he did agree with the un- derstanding that responsible leaders had solemnly promised to take up subsidy immediately after recorven- ing August 15.
 For all these reasons, the Pres idents agreement to an indefinite postponement is astounding to Wash ington. If the House is democratic, or even nearly democratic next March, the President will have to hustle if he puts subsidy over be- fore that date. The Senate has way of moving slowly when 1t de- sires to move slowly.
 Incidentally, 1t is known that the President does not believe that sub sidy for a real merchant marine is unpopular anywhere. He thinks IL comprises a great American issue and that everywhere people would re- spond to that issue.

ADMITS 3 KILLINGS,
5 SHOTS ACCIDENT

Answer for Deaths in His
Furnished Room.

Police Headquarters yesterday after
noon and confessed to Capt. Arthur
Carey of the homicide squad that on
Wednesday evening he shot and killed

once in each wrist. Rossner had two
wounds. one in the head and the other

Yes. guess / am replied the police
official.
Il guess I'm responsible for the death
of those two people who were killed in
that house on Eleventh street yester-
day." continued Hodnett in a trembling
voice.
The prisoner. who was locked up in
Police Headquarters for the night, told
Capt. Carey and later Mr.. Hennis, an
Assistant District Attorney, that he and
Rossner were the best of friends and
tiidL Lie SnOOtlHe was dSNidtlildi- "
Capt. Carey he told this story about
the victims:
They came to my room together and
after some talk Rossner took box from
his pocket and. pulled out revolver.
He asked me what l thought of the
weapon and handed II to me. AS ] took
the gun in my hand 1t suddenly went off
and killed the both of them. Rossner
