WASHINGTON, Dee. 9-Congress
today took initial steps to carry
out the large legislative program
outlined yesterday by President
Harding, although it is realized that
all the recommendation cannot be
enacted at this session.
The executive situation as the re-
suit of the President s address may
be summarized as follows:
TAXATION
The house ways and means com
mittee will ask the rules committee
next week to arrange to wedge be-
tween Appropriation bills, resolu-
lions for amending the constitution
to prohibit tax exempt securities.
Ways and means leaders hope to
have the house adopt the resolution
next Wednesday.
RURAL CREDITS
In both houses the agriculture
and banking and currency commit
tees will tackle mass of legisla
ton and try to whip into shape a
bill that will satisfy the farm bloc
and the administration. In the
house the Anderson bill, creating a
farm credits department with
$5,000,000 capital in each federal
reserve bank, probably will be the
basis of committee work.
RAILROADS
The President IS recommendation
for abolition of the railroad labor
board and his other suggested leg
islative reforms in the transporta-
ton law will be considered by the
house and senate interstate com
merce committees at meetings to be
held within a few days. If Mr..
Harding's recommendations for a

HARD|NG'S
MESSAGE ON
PACT LIKED
Tiger of France Don't
Like League But in
Favor of Effort
SEES EUROPE AID
Widening Four I Power
Pact Seen as Big for
France

PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 9.-Geor-
ges Clemeneeau, the tiger of
France, today proposed the opening
of negotiations at Washington for an
agreement between the United
States and the other nations of the
world that he indicated could take
the place of the League of Nations
and return this country TO the coun-
sells of Europe.
The old French statesman made
this statement Immediately after he
had flatly declared to a great audi
ence in the Academy of Music here
tina the did not believe in the League
of Nations as n means of prevent
ing war.
His recommendation for the nego-
tiations was based on President
Harding's statement in his address
TO congress yesterday, suggesting
that arrangements similar TO the
four power Pacific treaty OF the
arms conference could be made in
other parts of the world.
lyon have heard of the League
If Nations, said the Tiger rs he
was approaching the end of his
speech. 81 personally don' be.
lieve in it, he declared amid ap-
plausc. fastening to explain his
statement, Clemeneeau said:
But Explains
CT don 7 believe that it can ever
bring about an end of war. AT the
same time ] believe that any effort
to that end is good.
This statement was greeted with
applause, perhaps more than follow
cd the preceding one.
81 was greatly encouraged yester-
day by this paragraph in the adj
dress of President Harding before
congress, the speaker said. Then
the Tiger told of the President s
suggestion about the possibility of
widening the four power Pacific
pact.
"That was n great, important and
noble word to Europe the Tiger
said. - don't think it would be
wrong for people to engage to have
n talk in Washington to see what
can be done towards making salts
factory arrangements for the United
States joining in the settlement OF
these questions. !"

HOLD 2 in YUMA
IN MYSTERY CAR
TRIP in VALLEY
Car Stolen from l.. A. is
Taken But Woman
Not Found
Suspect Woman May Be
Clara Phillips But
She's Gone

Who and where is the woman
who was driven to Mistletoe Lodge
late Thursday night by two men in
big Marmon car, and after eating
dinner, proceeded east on foot, the
car having driven off without her?'
The two men were arrested yester-
day afternoon at Yuma, and the car
identified as stolen in Los Angeles
early last week. The men are held
in jail at Yuma, pending arrival of
police officers from Los Angeles.
c. J. Dewitt, proprietor Of Mistle-
toe Lodge, notified the sheriff's
office yesterday morning thatia big
car containing two men and a wom-
an had driven up to the inn from
the direction of San Diego about 9
o clock Thursday night and after
leaving the woman, the men drove
the ear to the east at rapid rate.
The woman was extremely nervous,
due she said to the terrific speed
at which the men drove the ear. She
told Dewitt she was on her way to
Phoenix, Arizona and had ridden
from San Diego with the two men
whom she had not previously known.
After eating dinner, she refused to
spend the night at the lodge, and
starHed off on foot toward the east.
Dewitt described her as of medium
height, and dressed in black
double breasted coat which reached
to her feet. She wore a black sailor
hat with mourning band.
Reported to Sheriff
Yesterday afternoon Il party of
tourists visited the shcriff's office
and reported they had met big
Marmon car with two men, stuck in
the sand between Yuma and Holt
vile. Offers of aid were refused
by the men who seemed very merry
Gus and refused to let the tourists
come near the car. Believing it
might have been stolen, they re-
ported the incident to the sheriff s
office. Undersheriff Cummins i'm
mediately notified the Yuma police
and upon arrival in that city, the
men were placed under arrest.
When Dewitt told his story to
the sheriff s office, he said it was
his impression that the car had
waited for the woman short dis
lance from Mistletoc Lodge and
picked her up. The tourists were
emphatic in stating that no woman
was in the car when they saw it,
therefore she evidently did not come
down from the mountains in it.

the firm of Black and Beatch, con-
sulting engineers, addressed the

ting in filtering and pumping
plant. The matter went over until
next Thursday evening, when it is
possible that an election will be
called to ascertain the sentiments Of
the voters us to whether bonds shall
be issued for water system. In
the opinion of the council it is abb
solutely necessary that the city

that there will be adequate fire
protection. 1t will also greatly re-
duee insurance rates.

Congress Takes Steps to Act
president Harding's Plans

3merger of the railroads into few
big systems, and for legislation to
prevent strikes are insisted upon,
there can be no railroad Legislation
at this session. 1t is considered I'M
likely by leaders that, with the APP
preparation bills and other routine
problems to attend to, congress will
find time this winter to tackle the
big controversial question of rail
road legislation.
IMMIGRATION
Senate and house immigration
committees will meet the coming
week. While immigration is consid-
cred too large a question for salts
factory solution in the house in
short time, there will be much dis
cussion of it. The house committee
will have hearings on resolutions
re-admitting war refugees from Tur
key and Thrace. Mr.. Harding s
suggestion for registration of aliens
would require treaties and is mad
visable in the opinion of some house
leaders.
CHILD LABOR
The house judiciary committee
probably will present resolution
amending the constitution to give
congress power to prevent child
abor.
PROHIBITION
The President s denunciation of
violat0rs of the Nolstead act and
the eighteenth amendment was ex-
pected to result in new legislative
suggestions for endorsements. Lead
eTs, however, said congress was not
called on at this time to do any
thing about prohibition. After the
President s conference with the gov
errors, some legislative steps may
be taken.

WIN Callpatrla and BraWley
crossing bats in the north end of
the valley, the locals are hoping
that Brawley gets victory in order
to break the string of wins by Cali
patria, which threatens to make the
race a one sided affair.
According to the local boys, ii is
not so much question of Calipat-
ria s superior strength as it is the
fact that the other teams have not
as yet hit their stride. Once they
get going at the right speed, it is
believed the race will tighten up
considerably and that the first
months of the new year will see all
four teams closely punched,
None of the locals like the idea of
having goose eggs only, in the per-
ccntage column and they are conf
dent that tomorrow will see the be-
ginning of drive that will not end
until El Centre is at the top of the
league.
