CHARLESTON
Is MAKING
STIFF FIGHT
Ask President Hard
ing to Intervene to
Prevent Closing Of
Navy Yard

Washington, July 13.-President
Harding was called upon otday by
Senator E. D. Smith. accompanied
by Representative w. T. Logan,
and asked to intervene to prevent
the closing of the Charleston navy
yard as contemplated by the order
recently issued by Acting Secretary
Theodore Roosevelt.
The matter was most earnestly
presente to the presidents atten-
ton and he listened with interest.
Mr.. Harding did not commit him
self as to what he might do, but
promised to take the subject under
very serious consideration. He
seemed to be appreciative Of the
points advanced against the policy
of leaving an entire section Of the
country without a navy yard.
When Senator Smith got back to
the Capitol from the White House
he was disappointed to receive the
following radiogram reply to the
cable of Tuesday, in which he
asked Secretary Of the Navy Denby.
now in japan. to suspend the
Roosevelt order until the matter
could be investigated after Mr..
Denby's return:
''Very sorry: do not feel justified
in acting as you suggest. Edwin
Den3y.''
This is disappointment. but it
will not check the fight to have
the order held up or modified. On
the contrary this fight will be
waged all the harder with all legi-
innate means at command. There
is no question that Acting Secre-
tarv Roosevelt. who is away from
Washington today. has heard many
more protests against his order
than he expected and from sources
which surprised him aud the in
te1vention Of the president has
been sought by cel-a.l influential
Republicans 10 prevent the '1,-
summation of what they regard as
a Serious blunder. The matter may

Daugherty Tells

Far as Necessary

New York. July 15.-First re-
ports Of sabotage on railroads u
the New York district today caused,
federal authorities TO deputize 2e9
guards Tor the mails and prepare

United States nlarshals in New
York and Northern New JERSEY

eral Daugherty to .go as far as as
necessary. in keeping interstate
traffic moving. Reports OF at
tempts to damage locomotives on
the Lackawanna. and instances
where freight trains were held up
by slashed brake connections
spurred government officials to re-
cruit deputies fer strategic points
on ali of the eleven main carrying
lines entering the city.
Fifty deputies were sent to Jer-
sey City. where Erie road execu-
tives demanded protection on the
plea that Mayor Hague was M
terfering with attempts to guard
railroad property with private poe
lice.
Fifteen men were placed in the
yards of the Lackawanna. twenty
five were distributed in the imne--
diate vicinity of the city and over
100 at outlying key points.
Tonight the situation was reports
ed we'll in hand. but executives ols
the roads most seriously threat
ened by the strike urged United
States marshals to have deputies on
hand for any emergency.
A steady stream Of deputies
passed through the examination
rooms at the federal building here
Each man accepted was put in uni
form and armed. Instructions, be-
fore they entrained to go on ducy,
were: Remember you are not sup
posed to protect railroad properly
all along the lines. Your job is TO
see that United States mail aad
interstate trains are not interfered
with.

 It is the plan of the local organization to hold a Father and Son" banquet at an early date. There will be nothing elaborate, just a real good time. The Holbrook Committee putsit- self on record as being op- posed to a large assessment of money for the Scout work. This does not mean that they do not inteHd to push the work with all their vim, but simply that they do not feel that this is the proper time to ask the public for large contributions.

LIQUID OF THE PAST
Ancient Booze Found in Earthen
 Jar in Kentucky Cave.
More Potent Than Modern Whisky, It May Be an Elixir That Was Manufactured by the Mound
 Builders

Middlesboro, Ky.-Were the mound builders of old the first real distillers in what has become America?
 This question is asked following the story brought here by two young men iron. the Molus section of Bell county mountains.
 They say they were exploring the dense parts of the hill country when they saw the entrance to cave, whose existence never had been suspected The youths entered its labyrintns, and far back in the interior discovered an earthen vessel. They opened it care fully and they are quoted as saying there came forth a most delicious aroma. Investigation proved the ex- istence of a liquid in the vessel, which the explorers tasted.
 Both declare, it is said, that they were familiar with the taste and potency of corn whisky, but this liquid in the long-buried vessel surpassed Kentucky liquor" in strength. They said that after a few minutes their senses became dulled and visions of celestial delight burst upon them. Finally they recovered and carried the vessel away with them. They are quoted as asserting that there was an inscription on the vessel which no one they have seen can decipher IL Is un- derstood the vessel will be sent to ex- pertS in ancient languages in the hope that the letters can be made out.
 If the mound builders left the jar and its unusual beverage 1t is believed unlikely that the words can be de ciphered, as it is said the writing of tie mound builders never has been translated The youths who found the vessel declare q single drop of the elixir they found possesses the strength Of quart of corn liquor and that dilution with water is all that is necessary to obtain a real drink"
 Just what the attitude of prohibition authorities would be toward this find in the cave has not been made known. nor has it been sought so far The mound builders, from strange relics, mounds and other marks. long have been thought by some historians to have made their last stand in the Ohio valley. In Kentucky and Tennessee there are numerous traces of q strange people, the secret of whose origin or disappearance has not been learned.
