With the regal pomposity Of
plumed knight on an i'm

William 8. Cuthbert yesterday
stepped from Neptune's Barge
to welcome the nations beau
ties assembled on the pier. Il
was to be the days crowning

Whether Mr.. Cuthbert's chest
was in the way or his eyes
saw only the symposium of
beauty ahead, none can say,
but he fell into the river, miss
ing the pier by two feet. This
was the Chaplinesque touch
which coated the sublime with
ridiculous colors.
AS the bulky "Beau Gallant"
disappeared with 4 tremendous
splash, Miss Punxsatawney
screamed. The Misses Walla-
Walla and Four Corners almost
tainted. For an instant the
landscape of beauty was fur
rowed by plow-like scars Of

Then someone threw pomp

dragged the dripping "Comish"
from the pond.

SENATE STILL
MARKING Time
ON GOAL BILLS
Urgency Of Situation Fails to
Impress Absentees- Quorum

By ,. BART CAMPBELL.
international News Service.


President Harding's recommends
tons for Congressional legislation
TO relieve the coal crisis were still
tied up in the Senate today.
Although the President made his
recommendations nearly three
weeks ago. the Administration coal
control bill. the first OF them to
assume concrete form. was meet
ing with stiff opposition from Re.
publican Senators from coal-produc-
ing States who ordinarily support
the Presidents policies.
Even the emphatic declaration Of
Senator Cummins, chairman Of the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, that the proposed legisla-
ton to give the Interstate Com
merce Commission blanket author
ity to distribute coal and curb
profiteering was strongly desired
by the President failed TO check
the attacks Of "old guard" Senators
like Reed OF Pennsylvania and du
Pont Of Delaware.
The intimation was plainly con-
veyed by them that II Congress-
does finally accede 70 the Presi-
dents wishes, and enact the bill,
coal operators and dealers collec-
lively are prepared TO carry their
fight against Il to the United
States Supreme Court.
Aside from the organized opposi-
ton to the bill by both Republican
and Democratic Senators con the
job" the absence OF large num-
Der of their colleagues nlso threat
ened to hold Il up indefinitely.
An adjournment was forced yes
terday when a roll call showed hut
forty-seven Senators present, or
less than n quorum. with forty
four absent from Washington and
five in the city, but absent from
the Capitol, and the fear was en-
tertained that lack Of a quorum
might again prevent a vote today,
although the sergeant.at-arms was
under instructions to command the
absentees to return.
Although Senator Cum m In .
warned that the longer the enact
ment OF the bill is delayed the
worse the coal situation win be-
come" there was q marked lack Of
interest IN It even by many OF
those Senators present and the list
lessness marking its consideration
was regarded by its support
ers as fraught with peril for
II as the strong opposition directed
against It.
