NEWS AND VIEWS FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL
BY r. n. HInssaIl

Perhaps the outstanding event at
the capital during the last week was
the decision by Circuit Judge w. IL.
Potter in which the Judge held that
Governor Russell had the right to ere
move State Insurance Commissioner
Thomas M. Henry for alleged EN-.
bezzlement. Henry appealed to the
Supreme Court from the decision OF
Judge Potter, and as this state
matter, it will perhaps be made pre-
ference case and be decided of judy y
Potter, Henry will be out of office,
and Excel Coody, whom the governor
appointed when he issued his remov-
al order, will become Insurance Com
missioner, and hold under such ap-
pointment until January 1924, when
Coody's successor, who will be nomi-
mated in the August primary of 1928,
and elected the following November,
will be sworn in for four years.
Commissioner Henry's removal by
Che governor Is the result of his hav-
ing been checked short on premium

TURN
DOWN HUGHES
AS To BOOZE
Right of Search Idea
Fails to Get by
E~nglishmen.

Washington, Oct. 16.-(By The As
ISOLATED Press.)-Great Britain, in a
communication delivered Monday to
the state department is understood to
have declined to agree to the sugges-
ton of Secretary Hughes for a reci-
procal agreement for the extension of
the right of search and seizure so as
to give the American prohibition navy
jurisdiction outside of the mile
limit.
At the same time the British for
eign office informed the American
government that every precautlon
would be taken to comply with the
American prohibition law by rum SNUG
glers under the British flag. 1t was
said that Canadian and other port
officials had been instructed to pre-
vent, SO far as possible, the issuance
of fraudulent clearance papers and
other improper practices complained
of in Secretary Hughes prohibition
note.
The British reply was presented to
Secretary Hughes by the British am
bassador, Sir Auckland Geddes. Al
though department officials would not
DISCUSS the suDJeCI Inert were lIui-
cations that the refusal to allow a
reciprocal right of search outside the
usual limits of territorial waters
would be considered as finally block
ing any extension of such authority to
prohibition officers.
Orders already are in effect direct
ing the prohibition navy not to operate
outside the three-mile line except in
the case of vessels in communication
with the shore by means of their own
small boats, and it has been the ap-
parent belief of administration off
Gals that no extension would be in
accordance with international practice
unless it were made so by some such
specific agreement as that proposed by
Hughes.

Of HONOLULU
REFUGEES APPEAR
LITTLE TROUBLED
Tumbled Down Hair Is About
Most Serious Subject
From Women.

Los Angeles, Oct. 16.-The officers
and crew of the steamship City of
Honolulu, which was destroyed by fire
off Honolulu last week, were held
aboard the transport Thomas Monday
while federal officials investigated the
disaster. The crew and the passen-
gers arrived at San Pedro, Calf, about
midnight aboard the Thomas, after they
had been rescued from small boats by
the freighter West Faralon and had
transferred to the Thomas.
''My hair was a fright" said one of
the feminine passengers rescued from
the perils of fire, shipwreck and the
deep when she told of her experience
in getting back to dry land.
That was the keynote of the COM
ments.' Nobody took the experience
very seriously, and while u%nconven-
tional garments were in evidence and
many comforts and conveniences we're
eagerly sought there was no DISPOSE
tion to complain, nor did any passen-
ger display any evidence of nervous
strain or personal exposure.
The passengers were also detained
aboard the Thomas for a few hours
for necessary formalities. They chat
ted with friends in small boats and on
the dock lining the rails and showing
eagerness to come ashore, but no other
apparent emotion.

WAGE INCREASE
To YARD HEADS
GETS BY BOARD
IS Per Cent Advance Is
Granted by Labor
Board to 1000 Men.
First Time Conditions
Have Been Laid Down
for Road Y~ardmasters.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-(By The Associa-
ted Press.)-An eight hour day with
overtime, which is said to amount to
nearly 2 per cent increase in pay, were
granted approximately 1000 yard mas
tiers on 26 class one railroads and at
six switching terminals by the United
States railroad labor board Monday.
This is the first time the board has
established rules and working condi-
tions for yardmasters who now are
classified as subordinate officials and
subject to the boards jurisdiction I'M
der the transportation act.
By establishing the eight hour day
with pro-rata overtime wages, the
yardmasters affected virtually have
been awarded a % per cent wage ad-
vance, according to J. S. Eldridge,
president of the Railroad Yardmasters
of America. The organization is in
territorial in scope.
The ruling affects all yardmasters
on the roads involved except such gen.
eral yardmasters as were classed os
official under a ruling of the I. c. G.
last November. On at least II roads
yardmasters have agreements with
the railroad which will govern in these
cases.
The Delaware & Lackawanna, the
Pennsylvania and the Illinois Central
railroads were excluded from the de-
cision. w. L. McMenimen, a labor
member of the board, although con-
tending that these three roads were
properly before the board in the mat
ter, voted to exclude them in order
to obtain a decision which otherwise
would have failed for lack of one
vote.
The rules provide that yardmasters
required to work seven days a week
shall be given two days off each
month.
The yardmaster association is said
to have a membership of between A.
600 and 5000.
Among the roads affected by the
desicion are the New York Central
lines east and west, Baltimore & Ohio,
Kansas City Southern, Kansas City,
Oklahoma & Gulf, Missouri Pacific,
San Antonio & Arkansan Southern,
Denver Union Terminal, Forth Worth
e Denver City, Gulf coast lines, Sea-
board Air Line, Texas & Pacific and

NJ TABOO F[AYS
REPUBLICANS,
ALSO TARIFF
Former Secretary Says
Has No Desires to
Be President.

Denver. Oct. 16.-In an address in
the Denver municial auditorium this
afternoon william G. McAdoo former
secretary of the treasury and war
time director of the railway admin
istration, assailed the Harding policy
of deflation and the republican tariff
bill and concluded with an appeal for
the election Of a democratic con-
gress and for the election of the demo-
cratic tickets in all states.
1.-THE republicans have passed the
most extortionate and ~indefensible
tariff bill ever enacted in our history
McAdoo said. THE Payne-Aldrich bill
which destroyed Taft politically and
brought the republican party to defeat
in 1912, is outclassed by the Fordney-
McCumber bill.
at is estimated the cost Of living
to the American people will increase
by the Fordney-McCumber bill $4,-
OOO. 600, 900 per annum, of which only
$500, 100000 will get into the Ameri-
can treasury. The remaining $780,
OOO.O will be collected by monopolies,
trusts and greed combinations for the
special profit of those favored inter
ests."
Discussing the Harding policy of de-
%flation, McAdoo declared that no
more ubiquitous policy was ever pur-
sued in American history than this
attack by one great political party
upon prosperity"
at was treated as though it were
a national evil instead of a national
blessing" he said.
"At the same time prosperity was
being destroyed, taxation which is
bearing down with crushing force upon
the people has not been reduced as
was solemnly promised in the republi-
can platform. The new internal rev.
enue bill gave no relief to income tax
prices except to less than 1000 per-
sons, and those persons enjoy the larg-
est incomes in America"
On account of train delays McAdoo
arrived in Denver only an hour be-
fore the time set for his address.
When asked if he was a candidate
for the presidency, Mr.. McAdoo said:
Nothing appeals to me less than a
presidential suit or a presidential
suite"
