REPUBLICANS UNABLE
TO AGREE ON REFUNDING

Republicans of the Senate, in party
conference today. discussed details
of the allied debt refunding bill. but
failed to reach an agreement on any
of them. The conference will be con-
tinued late today.
The only definite action of tho con-
ference was to vote down. 40 to 2, an
amendment by Senator Harreid of
Oklahoma. which would have pro-
vided that the payment of interest
by the debtor nations be defer ed for
a period not exceeding three years.
The chief argument against the
amendment, 1t was said. was that all
Of the nations would want to defer
interest payment for the full three
year period.
When the conference recessed 1t
had under consideration an amend
ment by Senator France Of Mary
land to eliminate the provision for
a commission to conduct the refund-
ing negotiations and to leave the

Buckner was sentenced in 1905.
Upon his arrival at the prison he
began a reign of terror. engaging
in fights with other prisoners and
refusing to obey orders. He con-
tinued to be unmanageable until
recently when he complained OF
severe headaches. He told physi-
clans that years ago he had been
shot in the head and the bullet had
not been removed. The bullet was
found near the base of the brain.
Its pressure, physicians said, was

WANT !. S. TO QUIT

President to Make Plea to
Congress and Country,
Engineers Hear.
BY the Associated Press,


NEW YORK. January 19.-President
Harding will make "a fervent plea
to Congress and the country next
month to take the government out of
the shipping business and make it
possible for American ship owners
and seamen to live and prosper on the
routes of ocean trade the conven-
ton Of the American Society of Civil
Engineers was told today by VIM
throp l.. Marvin, vice president and
general manager of the American
Steamship Owners Association.
Whatever specific policy the Presi-
don't may advise should most GER
tainly command the eager attention
OF all Americans interested in trade
or transportation by land or sea-"
Mr.. Marvin said.

have a vast feet in being. We have

efficient officers and men. all the off,

The question which the President
Niil place before the nation is a
problem of SO aiding and protecting
this fleet and its personnel that the
good tonnage of the government may
be transferred TO private hands and
operated by private initiative and
enterprise. under national policy
that Will give American shipping the
fair chance which the tariff has
brought to manufacturing and agri-
culture alike.
Forced In Competitions.
1T is the united conviction of the
practical men of the American ocean
shipping industry that without the
equivalent of that protection which
our other national interests have long
enjoyed. the government owned war
built tonnage will remain indefinitely
in government hands. subject to the
inevitable disabilities of government
control and operation. and that pri-
vate shipping, now nearly one-half of
our ocean-going merchant shipping,
and destined with fair play to be the
greater half of it, will again languish
and decline because it is forced un-
aided to fight the competition of a
kind by which no other American in
dustry is or has been confronted"
If the plans Of the Harding admins
tration take root. Mr.. Marvin continued,
mo American railroad management will
have any shadow Of an excuse to link
itself by preferential traffic or terminal
agreements with foreign merchant ship

Of any foreign government whatsoever" "
Asks for Teamwork.
The speaker asked for teamwork be-
tween American shipping and the rail-
roads.
Under proper policy of national en-
couragement and not disbursement, -
he said, there is no reason why Ameri-
can shipping companies. with alert traf-
fic organizations abroad, may not bring

F[AYS Commission
ON REORGANIZATION
Senator Harrison Criticises
Body for Alleged Inactivity.
Makes Inquiry.

Severe criticism of what he termed
the inactivity of the commission ap-
pointed to plan reorganization in
launched in the Senate this afternoon
by Senator Pat Harrison of Missis-
sippi. minority member of the COM
mission. Senator Harrison said that
the commission met on April s last.
nearly a year ago. and was heralded
as the medium by which millions OF
dollars would be saved the govern
inent, but that since that time no
suggestion has come as to what the
commission was doing.
He said there have been no conferences,
no hearings. nothing except insinuations
from the White House that Congress
was blocking the reorganization scheme.
He said the chairman. wlo happens to
be the Presidents representative on the
commissions. called hearings and other
wise let the other members know what
is going on He said that the commits
sion should get all the facts and present
t.lem to Congress SO that the latter can
act.
Would Discharge Commission.
Senator King of Utah sought to find
out why the commission had not held
meetings, but Senator Harrison said he
could not enlighten him on the subject.
whereupon the Utah senator suggested
that there should be resolution intro
duced discharging the present commits
sion and naming a new one which would
work.
Senator Harrison added that If there
was not action shortly he would in
troduce such a resolution.
The attack was provoked by an
amendment from the floor by Senator
Frelinghuysen of New Jersey. seek
ing to increase the salary of the
undersecretary of the Treasury from
$500 year, as recommended by the
Senate committee, to $4,000.
Senator Harrison objected to this
as also did Senator Jones. republican,
of Washington. The latter said he
did not think the undersecretary OF
the Treasury should get twice as
much as the assistant secretary. He
said that there had been too much in
creasing of salaries in the higher
officers without regard to the other
employees In the department.
The committee recommendation is a
reduction in the salary paid the un-
derseeretary. which Is $4,000.
