HARDING RESENTS
RELIEF CRITICISM
Newspapers playing Up Such
Russian News Hurt Cause,
He Says.
WOULD LIMIT FUNDS
D LIMIT FUNDS
Believed Congress Will Not
BE Asked for More Pending
Developments.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. June 2.
President Harding let 1t be known
to-day that American famine relief in
Russia might not be continued indefi-
| nitey in present circumstances. He
also criticized those Americans. who
have been attacking the administration
OF american relief.
| The inference drawn from this was
that Congress will not be asked for
more funds for Russian relief until
changes in the Russian form of govern
ment Justify the continued expenditure
of money there.
The President assailed those who have
criticized the work of the American
Relief Association. This criticism ex-
| tended to the newspapers which have
devoted space to these criticisms. The
President said as a newspaper man that
playing up this form of news served
no good purpose and only added to
discomfort and dissatisfaction with con-
stituted authority.
President Harding announced also
that thei attitude Of this Government
toward the Hague conference is un-
changed, his statement having reference
to the unofficial suggestions that have
come from Europe for a modification
I'm that position.
The President discussed Russian re-
lief in connection with call which
had been made upon him by Father
Walsh of Georgetown University, who
has just returned from Russia and re-
ports conditions there as deplorable.
President Harding explained that he
had jus compile writing a letter to an
Americau mother whose son had just

Pro lent a.unH rad engaged in the

and only desire to give service
to humanity lie had given his life,
which was all he had to give. The Presi-
dent thought 1t poor return for this
kind of disinterested service for par
tisan critics to indulge in unfounded
charges.
The President drew a picture Of con-
ditions in Russia while American wealth
and personal effort have been lav.shly
and unselfishly extended after the usual
American manner of responding TO
human suffering. but he pointed out that
it cannot continue forever.
The political conditions existing in So
Wet Russia are charged with direct re-
sponsibiiity for a situation which Is KILL
ing Russians faster than America can
rescue them. Although Russia Is one of
the richest agricultural countries In the
| world, the President pointed out that
peasants are not producing more than
enough to supply their own needs. This
is ascrbed to the Soviet system OF seiz-
ing the surplus stocks wherever they
exist The result is utter lack of In
i spiration for the peasants to produce
more than enough to live on. provided
they can produce that much. When that

WARDS BETTING MAN
DENIES $4,000 DEBT
GoIdies Says Dealings Were
Adjusted by Checks.

Dave Goldie. the racing commissioner
through whom Walter S. Ward was re-
ported to have laid most of his racing
bets. was found yesterday by THE New
YORK HERALD. He said there was no
truth in a story current at the race
track for several days that Ward owed
hun about s32. 900.
Goldie said he met the bakers son
only once and that was when they were
introduced at the race course. Thereaf-
ter their dealings were through tele-
phone communications which were ad-
justed by checks by mail.
Since Ward surrendered himself the
existence Of a racing commissioner. who
was supposed to have held the key to
the shooting mystery. has been hinted
at several times. There was a report
that Ward and this commissioner had
n conversation over che telephone just
before the shooting In which Ward told
Of the trouble he was in. This report
cnused some OF the investigating au-
thorities TO express a desire to sec and
speak with the stranger but up to yes
terday his identity was not known.
Goldie was traced through n bank and
expressed no hesltancy I'm telling all he
knew about Ward. which. he said. was
very little. He said that his first meet
.-a with Ward was last autumn, after
the Saratoga meet and that the last
time he heard from him was about ten
weeks before the shooting OF Clarence
Peters.
In racing circles Golde Is looked
upon as one OF the foremost commits

track, and IL is upon one OF those rare
occasions that he was introduced to
Ward. by just whom he could not roc

Ward was good for bets from so TO

had ne been given TO understand. that

bandits, exercise over the mass of

huge chamber which was even more
poorly lighted than the hall. It con-
tained a table Uttered with papers, a
few high-backed chairs, couple of
couches, and was evidently parlor.

They peered out Of the open win
dow. In moment, however, Gale
made out slow-pacing dark form on
the path. Farther down there was
another. No particular keenness was
required to see in these forms a SEN
tinel-like stealthiness.
Gripping Gales arm, Thorne pulled
back from the window.
"Yoa saw them," he whispered. "It's

Gale turned as his friend went down
the room. In the dim light at the head
Of the stairs stood the slim, muffled
figure of woman. When she saw
Thorne she flew noiselessly down the
stairway to him. He caught her in
his arms. Then she spoke softly, bro
kenly, in low, swift voice. 1t was
mingling of incoherent Spanish and
English; but to Gale 1t was mellow,
deep. unutterably tender, a voice full
OF Joy, fear, passion, hope and love.
Upon Gale it had an unaccountable
effect. He found himself thrilling,
wondering.
Thorne led the girl to the center Of
the room. under the light where Gale
stood.

She uttered an inarticulate cry. the
poignant terror Of which shook Gales
nerve, and swayed as If she would
faint. Thorne caught her and in
husky voice importuned her to bear
up.
"Ny darling! For Gods sake don't
faint-don't go to pieces! We'd be
lost! We've got chance. Well
think Of something. Be strong!

1t was plain to Gale that Thorne
was distracted. He scarcely knew
what he was saying. Pale and shak-

She cried out in Spanish, beseech-
ing him; and as he shook his head,
she changed to English:
