HOUGHTON IS ACCEPTABLE
AS ENVOY TO GERMANY
Berlin Notifies Washington Of Ap-
prova1 Of Proposed
Ambassador.

The German government has noti-
fed the American government that
Alanson B. Houghton, now member of
the House from New York, will be
acceptable as ambassador, and the
name of Mr.. Houghton will be sent to
the Senate this week.
This Information was given out
today at the White House. The name
Of Representative Houghton, who is
a manufacturer of Corning, N. Y,
has been associated with the ap-
pointment to the Berlin post, now
occupied by a charge d'affaires for
some time. He was recommended for
the post by Senators Calder and
Wadsworth Of New York and by
Charles D. Hills. republican national
commi lite eman from the state.
The prospective new ambassador is
sixty years old and before the war
was a frequent visitor to Germany,
having been graduated from the Uni
versities of Berlin and Gottingen.
Confirmation of his nomination is
expected to be followed by the desig-
nation by the German government of
an ambassador to Washington.

SENATE c. 0. P.
SEEKS HARMONY
Tomorrow's Parley to Ex.
ceed Funding Bill Dis
cussi0n.

Republican senator's will hold their
first conference of this session of
Congress tomorrow with the an
nounced purpose Of reaching an
agreement on the allied debt funding
bill. Strong democratic opposition to
the bill in the form in which 1t was
reported to the Senate yesterday was
. understood to have led to the call
issued today by Senator Curtis of
Kansas. assistant republican leader.
While the call mentioned only the
republican leaders stated privately
as general get-together affair:
Coming as it does in the wake of
the series of conferences which re-
publican senators have had with
President Harding, insiders attached
additional significance to the meet
ing.
1t is known that four or five re-
publican senators were not wholly
in accord with the majority leaders
as to a party policy on the funding
bill, and it was thought possible that
discussion OF that question might
take a broader course than Just a
general review of the meaning and
purposes of the pending legislation.
With the measure drawn in form
believed to be acceptable to the ad-
mifiistration, Senate majority leaders
are determined to push it through
the Senate with view to speeding
up the refunding negotiations, hold
ing the view that settlement OF
the foreign debt question will go a
long way toward improving economic
conditions in Europe.
sUnder the bill as now before the
Senate the refundinE commission OF
five members would have broad pow
ers in conducting negotiations with
the debtor nations. 1t would have
authority to defer interest payments
and also to fix the rate OF interest.
Democratic senators, under the lead
ership of Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, ranking minority member
of the finance committee, object to
granting of such powers.
On behalf of the administration 1t
was stated officially today that the
bill as reported by the Senate finance
committee was satisfactory to Presi-
dent Harding.

u. S. MAY INVESTIGATE
TROUBLE TN MINE FIELDS
Intimations Of Labor Department
Probe Follows Cabinet
Meeting,

Following a discussion Of the gen.
eral labor situation in the United
States, especially as 1t is affected by
present disturbances among the mine
workers in West Virginia, 1t was in
timated at the White House that an
investigation of the latter will be in
stituted Immediately under the super
vision Of the Labor Department.
Secretary Davis of the Department
of Labor, who brought the matter up
at the cabinet meeting today, said
that while he had no cause to believe
that conditions in West Virginia were
in any way serious, he deemed it ad-
visable for the government to be pre-
pared, at least SO far as being prop
erly advised of the exact circum-
stances surrounding any future seri-
Gus disturbance in that section.
Other than the discussion Of the
labor matter and an interesting re-
port on the progress Of the arms con-
ference, made by Secretary Hughes,
the cabinet session was more or less
an informal one, many routine mat
ters of purely departmental nature
being disposed of.
1t was made known following the
meeting that the administration has
every reason to believe that the ef-
forts being made to reorganize the
Kgovernment's business under the direc-
ton of q joint congressional reorgan-
ization commission are working out
satisfactorily. While the White House
admits that there has been some DELAY
in reaching something definite. in this
reorganization program, it is opti-
mistic regarding the final outcome
The White House explained that IL n
merely q matter Of patient waifin9.
and every assurance was given thst
there is no foundation for reports he.
ing circulated, that the reorganization
program has fallen through.

row Wilson yesterday at the opening
here of campaign for $1,000.000 to
establish annual rewards by the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation "for
meritorious service in behalf Of
democracy, public welfare. liberal
thought and peace through Justice" +"
Tributes to the former President.
his accomplishments and his ideals
were spoken by James w. Gerard.
former ambassador to Germany;
Henry Morgenthau; one-tims time ambas- mbss
man Gait. Augustus Thomas, play
wright; Franklin D. Roosevelt and
others.
Mr.. Gerard's Speech.
Mr.. Gerard declared Mr.. Wilson
had been stabbed by hatred, envy and
ignorance, adding that II the former
President had been victorious In his
aims there would be no war clouds
1--WE cannot restore our champion
to the lists, but the cause he
championed is not lost" the former
amba assador said.
"The cause of liberty had its ideal
in washington, IL was perSOnlHeu IN
Lincoln, and it had its apotheosis in
Woodrow Wilson," was the estimate
by Mr.. Thomas.
Mr.. Wilson does not need us, but
we need him." the playwright con-
tinued.
Mrs. Gait declared the ingratitude
of republics to be proverbial, and pre-
dicted the generations to come
would proclaim the ideals of Wilson,
as those who followed Washington
and Lincoln had revered the judgment
Of their contemporaries.
@Time to Tell Him Now"
"The time to tell Mr.. Wilson he
was right is right now" she said.
'.If a Later generation builds him a
monument. it will not be a memorial,
but an apology.
Mr. Morgenthau said the former
President needed no defense. Amer
ica was going to see it's duty as
woodrow Wilson pointed it out, and
then perform it, he declared.

D. c. Citizens Complain to Senator
King the Grounds Are Selected
"Iudiscriminately

Numerous complaints are being re-
ceived by Senator King of Utah from
various citizens of the indiscriminate
manner In which Fairgrounds are
selected for the children Of this city,
Senator King said in a letter which
he forwarded to Senator Ball, chair
man Of the Senate District commit
tee. today:
Many Of them contain suggestions
that the Fairgrounds are not selected
with q view to making them CEN
ter of population where there are
great numbers of children.
1t was asserted that Fairgrounds
should be located in centers where
the child population was heaviest
and that. SO far as practicable, they
should be so located that the chill
dren would not find it necessary to
in order to enjoy their privilege.
Senator King also transmitted let
ter from Mrs. Lucy r. Swanton, chair
man of the united civic Playground
committee, in which the latter said
that people of the District are greatly
disturbed over the lack of space for
the children to get helpful exercise
Mrs. Swanton said that a great many
children lived in apartment houses
with no places to play except the
streets and alleys.
Fairgrounds are needed, she In
formed Senator King, Tor help1ul
recreation. and she argued that II
there We're more Fairgrounds there
would be less need for vice sup
preston. Mrs. Swanton also pointed
out that while there are number
of public parks here. they belong
to the federal government and are
used principally as beauty spots.
She urged an impartial survey of the
situation with a view to remedying
the conditions of affairs as now
existing.

"Dirt farmers" will constitute more

to the national agricultural confer

Agriculture announced last night.
More than two-thirds of the remain

~-Twenty-four women have been in

them. he added, operate their own

of the home economic work and are
familiar with farm conditions.
Two-thirds Of the personnel Of the
conference, Mr.. Wallace declared. will
be strictly Of the agricultural people.
The others will consist of allied agri-
cultural interests.
"The farmers can do some things
for themselves. but they are inter-

cost of distribution and enlargement
of the markets for their products,
and. therefore, We have asked repre-
