HARDING To
CRACK WHIP
IN CONGRESS
VIII Make Fight of Career
for Ship Subsidy
Bill.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington, June 5.-President
Harding has come to a showdown
with members of his party in con-
gress. He means to keep congress
in session until ship subsidy bill
is passed. Hopes of adjournment
in August so as to give members
an opportunity to participate in
their own campaigns in Septem-
Der and October are rapidly van
ishing. The president is in earnest
in his insistence upon passage of a
bill creating a new American mer-
chant marine and will make the
fight of his career for it. If con-
gress adjourns without action, a
special session will probably be
called at once
Urged by his friends to assume
active leadership of his party on
the tax bill last year and then the
tariff and the bonus, Mr.. Harding
has refrained from taking the
reins. But he is up in arms on
the ship subsidy measure. 1t is to
his mind a pledge the party must
keep. Just as Mr. Wilson in his
first term regarded currency re-
form as paramount and kept con-
gress in continuous session all
summer until he obtained action
so is Mr.. Harding convinced that
the major act of his administra-
ton is to provide a merchant ma
rine.
Stand or Fall on Issue.
Mr.. Harding is willing to stand
or fall as party leader on the mer-
chant marine issue The nation is
today losing $4,000, 900 a year in
operating the sh.0s inherited from
the war and vessels are steadily
depreciating in value and no 9TH
ers are being built by private ship
ping companies to replace the war
fleet. To drag on this way means
in Mr.. Harding's judgment an alb
solute failure of the United States
to keep her place on the seas with
a constant loss to American in
dustry and commerce of untold pro-
portions.
The pending bill which will be
reported to the hOus in ten days
provides for direct and indirect aid.
The first year IL will cost about
$50 900 900. The annual outlay
will be gradually increased to
about S45 100000 until at the end
OF ten years approximately $780,
100000 will be spent. The govern
ment confidently expects to get
this sum back through the sale of
ships and through the profits from
private operation. The private
companies will be limited to ten
per cent in the taking of profits
and must divide so per cent of
their excess with the government
to repay the subsidy. The ten per
cent isn't guaranteed or are losses
to be covered by the government
but if the private owners are sue
cessful they cannot take more
than a specific amount.
Present Plan Condemned.

the Shipping board. who is largely
responsible for the evolution of

PROSECUTOR TO
PROVE GREEKS
SHOT SHERIFF
viii Positively Iden-
fify TlDo of De-
PENDANTS.

Quincy, ILL.,. June 5.-That Sher-
if Lashbrook was killed by the %
Greek defendants, two of whom
will be positively identified, on
April 2S, at Frederick, Ill, was one
of the important statements made
by States Attorney Paul Mourning
in opening the case this morning
Another fact which he said he ex-
peCted to prove was that after Dep
uty Sheriff Kelley had dragged his
chiefs dead body from the railroad
track to a position behind two
steel barrels, the deputy was ap-
proaced by two of the defendants,
who will be identified. with smoke
curling from the barrels of their
guns, and in gruff voices ordered
him to get the hell out of here"
The deputy, the prosecutor said
he would prove, demonstrated and
proclaimed to be an officer, when
the order to get the hell out of
here" was repeated. The deputy
then ran around the depot, which
was surrounded by water. and made
his escape.
Two Shots Were Signals.
Two shots were fired as signals
by sentinels, it was claimed, and
Immediately afterward a volley came
from the bunk car which housed
the Greeks, the sheriff falling NOR
tally wounded. Shortly afterward
another volley laid low Carl Neff
and Frank Utter, who were consta-
bles of Frederick. There were no
other shots fired except those from
the Greeks, said the prosecutor
Attorney Walter Wright. chief
counsel for the defendants, said he
expected to prove that these men
/ had been threatened by the riff-rafi
OF the town, who objected to the
appearance of the Greeks in Fred
erick doing railroad work, but
themselves spent their time in poo
halls, refusing to work
Three Greeks "Sh0t Up"
Three Greeks, he said, are miss

Gets '$1,236 in Cash. Drugs and
Stamps After Tying Vic
tins in Closet.

$1,000 worth of drugs. stamps and
money orders when he held up two

After entering the store and using
the telephone the bandit stepped
out of the booth, commanded the
clerks to hold up their hands,
marched them into a closet and
tied them together with rope.

JURY IN SMALL
CASE GETS INTO
AFAMILY ROW
Eleven Vote For Ball
Game, I For
Picnic.

Waukegan, Ill, June 5.-(By the
Associated Press. )-The Jurors try
ing Governor Len Small are fight
ing again, this time among them
selves as well as with their bailiffs
Inc trouble started Sunday when
IL jurors voted to attend a base
Dali game at Antioch, and the 18th
august Larsen, wanted to attend a
picnic at the Viking club at Guer-
ney. railing to agree, the II tele
phoned Judge Claire c. Edwards
and requested that Larson be lock-
ed up while they went to the bail
game. The judge declined to sep
arate the jurors and directed that
the VIII of the majority should
prevail, and Larsen go to the
game.
Juror Larsen then developed a
headache and declined to go, SO
the Antioch trip was called off.
War on Bailiff.
The twelve got together later in
the day to wage a common war on
John Whalen, one of their bailiffs.
Whalen took the jurors for a walk
when Larson recovered from his
headache, and when the party
reached the harbor the jurors rent
ed fishing tackle and proposed a
fishing expedition at the end of the
lighthouse pier. a half mile from
shore. The elderly baiIiff declined
to walk that far and the Jurors
were finally forced to fish in shall
low water at the shore end of the
breakwater.
Today the jurors renewed pre-
ious complaints against the bail
ifs.
Two weeks ago they threatened
to strike unless they were given
younger bailiffs who would walk
farther and stay out later at nights.
Object to Court Hours.
The jury this morning objected
to the hours of cOurt-which were
fixed by agreement of the lawyers
for Governor Small and the state
and presented a petition to the
court asking that the working day
be heightened an hour and a half
The jurors want to work from a.
IN. to 5 p. m, instead of from 10 a.
m. to 4:30 p. m.
The courts troubles with the
dissatisfied jurors overshadowed
this mornings testimony, which
consisted of three Chicago bank
clerks identifying records and pho
tographic copies of records intro
duced by the state.
AS spectacle, the governor s
trial has almost ceased to interest
Waukegan. The opening of the
seventh week found hardly a dozen
spectators on hand, and they drift
ed away by ones and twos as the
monotonous introduction of papers
and books proceeded.
Hanging EcDpses Trial.
Around the court house the trial
is completely eclipsed by Sheriff
Elmer Green's search for a conven-
lent spot to hand a prisoner, SEN
fenced to die a week from Friday.
Lake county hasn't had an eXecu-
ton for so years. The sheriff want
ed to erect the gallows in the court
room where the governor is being
tried. or in the adjacent corridor,
but being dissuaded from that, has
finally decided to utilize the attic
above the court room.

People Of this birthdate are OF a

the fact that they come under two

Uranus and Saturn. These people
were privileged TO choose their own

Persons born on this date are very
fond Of talking about their own

to tell about their failures. sickness
or troubles There are some gay
