forts at mediation of the rail strik.
Is declared today by his advisers t.
have virtually decided to inform
railroad executives that operation oil
trains will be given full protection.
and aid of the government.
IT, is stated thai the president
decided the only course the govern
ment can now pursue is the path
followed in the coal strike, namely
extension of an invitation to en-
ployers to operate the properties and
the federal government with c0-0p-
Grafton of the states would stand
behind them in their efforts SO far
as they are directed to serving the
public.
1t is asserted that the president
is considering going before congress
within a few days with a compre-
hensive statement of the whole rail
strike situation. The statement is
said to include no suggestions as to
legislation.
Leaders of the railroad labor Or
ganizations today made public their
rejection of President Harding's
final offer of settlement to the shop
men, but declared that attempts to
mediate the difficulty by direct deal
ing between railroad executives and
heads of the four brotherhoods are
still in progress.

Husband Tells of Actors As-
sociation With Edith Day
i'm London; Board Will
Report Verdict Monday

The hearing of Pat Somerset, Eng
lish co-star with Edith Day in "Orange
Blossoms was adjourned yesterday
afternoon at Ellis Island by the spe-
clal board of inquiry until next Mon
day, at which time it will be decided
whether he is an undesirable alien.
Somerset yesterday appeared detected
and resigned to the fate of deporta-
tion. The afternoon star chamber ses-
sion was devoted to taking the testi-
mony of Carle Carlton, theatrical pro-
ducer and husband Of Miss Day, who
has Instituted divorce proceedings
against her in New York courts.
When Somerset left the Immigration
Building he had every appearance Of
being respondent. His attorney, Law
renee l.. Cassidy, refused to comment
on the case. At first Somerset would
his constraint to ask impulsively, "If
they do deport me, | wonder when |
will have to go?"
Upon recommendation of his attor-
ney, Somerset, it was said, recanted
any previous statements he had made
and denied categorically all testimony
Of an adverse character that had been
given by Carlton.
Carlton, producer of "Irene," in
which Miss Day was originally starred,
told newspaper men yesterday that his
marital troubles began in London in
1870 when Miss Day Cancelled her con-
tract with the musical comedy because,
it was alleged, of her affection for Som
erset. The producer yesterday sub
mitted depositions taken by his counsel
before Richard P. Sherman, United
States Consul in London. in June, 1921.
Several of the depositions contained
the testimony of maids and porters in
London hotels, who saw the pair to-
gether at various times. One charged
that Miss Day and Somerset had regis
tered as "Mr. and Mrs. Somerset" Mr..
Carlton said he had spent $4,000 in
obtaining evidence against Somerset
for the Federal authorities.
In divorce proceedings which were
brought in November, 1919, against
Somerset by his wife she named Miss
Day as correspondent, and reference
was made in the case to a child born
about the time that the actresses mother
and father reached London.
~ think Miss Day a wonderful little
actress and there is nothing would
not be willing to do for her." said
Carlton.

Sketch on Cllrist's Life
Causes Editor 10 Resign
Head of Columbia University 3
s'Morningside'' Steps Out al
Student Bodyas Reuuesf

Because of the publication of a
sketch deAting with incidents IN the
life of Christ in 'T'he Morningside, !"
one of the student literary magazines
at Columbia University, Whitaker
Chambers has resigned as editor upon
the request Of the student body through
it4 board. The sketch which was in
tbs form of piaylet called "a Play
for Puppets" caused mild furry on
the campus when it appeared, as the
author, the editor writing under the
name of John Kelley, was believed to
have overstepped the bonds of clever
ness and propriety.
"The Morningside" has gained a
reputation for being radical, and it's
publication is usually awaited with
curiosity among the undergraduates.
The latest issue was called to the
attention of President Nicholas Murray
Butler and members of the faculty. No
official action has been taken, since 1t
Is believed to be an affair for under
graduate handling. 1t was said yester-
day at the executive Offices of the uni
versity that the subject could be con
sidered closed with the resignation Of
Mr.. Chambers and that "The Morning
side" would not suspend publication.
The. setting of "A Play for Puppets"
is before the sepulchre of Christ on
the morning of the third day. The
characters are an old centurion,
young centurion, an angel, Christ, and
the voice of God. The sketch is writ
ten with distinctly Wildean flavor
and suggests similar ones which ap-
peared in the yellow Book" and Ok
ford publications from 1890 to 1900.
