HARDING SATISFIED
WITH SERVICES OF
BRIG. GEN. SAWYER

Washington, Oct. 24.--President
Harding is perfectly satisfied with
the services OF Brig. Gen. Chas. y.
Sawyer, it was said today at the
White House and will not ask for
his resignation as demanded by the
American Legion in its national
convention last week at New Or
leans.
White House officials added, in
discussing the subject, that the fed
eral board Of disqualification, of
which General Sawyer is chairman,
was n voluntary creation of the
president and as such the president
alone was responsible.
The president, it was said, eX-
poets to bring the disqualification
board into closer cooperation with
the agencies of the government
having to do with the treatment
of disabled former service men and
in doing SO expects it to more than
justify its creation.

SANTA FE is LAYING
HEAVIER STEEL ON ITS
PEC0S VALLEY BRANCH

Artesla, n. NJ, Oct. 24.--The
railroad track of the A. T. & S. II.
railway company, from Clovis to
the southern portion of the Pecos
valley is being replaced by heavier
and better rails. Several hundred
men have been engaged in this
work for several months. The
first crew of 200 men is now To-
Gated at Artesia and will continue
south toward Carlsbad. Another
crew of 400 men, known as the
dirt crew, is now located at Es-
puela Spur. a switch six miles
north of Artesia.
The company is making this
change in order to reduce the ex-
pense Of maintenance. When the
heavier steel is laid. the heavy
traffic over this division of the
road will not be so hard on the
tracks. The present rails are hard
ly heavy enough TO withstand the
severe usage of the heavy freight
and cattle trains.

in quest Of thieves who had looted
her corn patch, had witnessed the
murders.

Stricken also refused to discuss
this angle of the case, but it was

was said that she was unable, be-
cause of the darkness, to identify
the man and woman who. she said,
made UP the murder party. She
gave the authorities, however, one
good clew to their identity

SHIP COMP PAN|ES
WILL TAKE DRY
RULING BEFORE
SUPREME COURT
High Tribunal viii Be Asked
to Issue an Order Re-
straining the Government
From Enforcing Law,
MODIFICATION OF THE
ORDER is LOOKED FOR
Officers May Not Enforce
Strictly Daugherty's De-
cree Until a Legal DeCi-
sion Is Handed Down.

Washington, Oct. 24.--(by the
Associated Press) The supreme
court of the United States will be
asked to issue an order restrain
ing the government from enforc-
ing the prohibition laws against
transportation of liquor on foreign
ships touching at American ports
and on American ship outside OF
American coastal waters.
Counsel for the ship lines which
instituted the original proceedings
before Federal Judge Hand in New
York were in Washington today
preparing the necessary papers for
submittal to Associate Justice
Brandeis. Being assigned TO the
second circuit-in which New York
City is located-Mr. Brandeis
would have supervision over mat
ters before Judge Hands court and
IL petition for supercedeas order
10 hold UP that courts dismissal OF
the ship company's Injunction case
would be filed with nim.
If granted, the supercedeas or
der would prevent interferep2e
with normal operation of the fleets
of the appellants until tho legal
point at issue had been decided by
The supreme court.
Unless counsel for the shipping
companies can prevail upon JUS
tice Brandeis to issue the order,
federal officers normally would be
required to proceed to enforce the
statute as soon as Judge Hand
formally signed the final order.
Under precedents, justices Of tine
supreme court are not inclined to
grant injunctions while the court
is not in session, prefeTr1nS that
such requests shall be submitted to-
and acted upon by the court itself.
At present the court is in recess
and will not again meet until No
vember IS.
Administrator officials indicat-
ed today that, even in the absence
OF a specific restraining order, the
government was not inclined TO
enforce strictly the liquor ruling
promulgated by the department OF
Justice so long as its legality was
before the courts. 7 Temporary reg
ulations, which would be in effect
pending q final decision, were laid
before Secretary Mellon today but
were withheld from publication
until they had been reviewed by
Attorney General Daugherty.
1t was understood that enforce
ment agents would be instructed
in these regulations that a certain
latitude was permissible both as
regards medicinal alcoholic sup
plies and stock designed for 'grog'
for crews, in cases where such is
suance was legal requirement of
their government or a long estab-
lished custom. Judge Hand, in dis
missing the injunction petitions,
announced that he would make an
exception covering liquor on board
ships for either of these purposes.
The treasury regulations were
expected to set forth the safe
guards which would be required of
shipmasters and their agents toI
prevent such stocks being put tol
other uses. 1t is known that pro-
mbieicn officials have favored a
substantial bond against Illicit use
OF these excepted Stores"

1t was generally supposed that he
was a pacihst, a man who attempted
TO go through life most easily; but it
was not true. He departed from
these channels, that he might seize
the sword of Righteousness, and rode
through battles that his brother
might be freed, and he did not lay
down the sword until the battles were
won, and the men for whom he strug-
gled had seen the light of freedoms
day, and preached the speech that
free men should hear, because there
was no peace where there is slavery
and prejudice.
AS l started to say, the story was
told by Rev. Williams IN my Office, it
was that a party went to the Latan

and soft), but they sang in the beauty
of the Lily, peace was born, and
when they got through, one of the
parties stepped in front and said:

hatred against the people, prejudice
against the people are more weighty
than the chains of slavery. ZAP

his last fifty years, taking the for
