SENATOR WATSON
LOOMS AGAIN AS
c. 0. P. CANDIDATE
Death Makes Indiana SoIon
Possible Presidential
Contender.

While Indiana today mourned the
death OF President Harding. politicians
were taking stock to determine the
effect 1t will have on the political
lineup.
That his passing will mean a free
for-all contest for the Republican
presidential nomination is taken for
granted
1t also is taken for granted that
Indiana now will have a contender in
the person of Senator James E.
Watson.
Watson's star, SINCE the defeat Of
Harry S. New in his race for re-
nomination as Senator In 1922, has
been in the ascendency. He has been
Handicapped. however, by the strength

dent Harding in his friendship and
support OF New and his followers, the
local New organization probably will
suffer badly.
With the recent reorganization OF
the Republican State committee, Wat,
sons power increased. It was he and
not New who came to Indiana and
worked to straighten out the kinks in
the organization.
Watson Boom Fluctuates
Before it was determined definitely
that President Harding expected to
seek denomination, Watson was gen.
orally regarded as a potential candi-
date. With the virtual announcement
that Harding would be candidate,
the Watson boom died! 1t now takes
on new life.
Watson is looked upon as the most
conservative type of Republican. He
Is not expected to obtain any support
from the La Toilette -Brookhart type,
but his friends in Indiana hope he
will be the center Of conservative
rally against the radical faction.

The decision to take the oath at
once came after receipt of a tele-
gram from Attorney General Daugh-
erty in San Francisco urging such
course. There were no preliminaries.
The witnesses gathered in the parIor,
which during the years has been the
scene o. many events that bulk Big
in the history OF the Coolidge family,
but which had never been thought Of
as the setting for such an event as
the inauguration of the thirtieth
President of the United States.
John Coolidge. the father, rs. but
still spry, had been aroused from
sleep and looked it. He came into
the room coatless and collarless, and
then at the last minute pulled on his
coat. He picked up the old Bible in
which the family record is kept and
looked at his son. They stood facing
each other while the words of the
oath were uttered, their faces gaunt
in the yellow lamp light, the rest of
the room in shadows. There were no
reporters. but those who saw it de-
tail as the scene had craven itself
upon their memory.
News at Midnight
Coolidge received exactly at mid
night Thursday the news of President
Harding's death, which elevated him
to the presidency.
The news came as a great shock.
and his first thought and that of Mrs.
Coolidge was to send message Of
coincidence to Mrs. Harding at San
Francisco.
When Mr.. Coolidge came down
stairs to welcome the newspaper

CRIES WIN HIS
FREEDOM

WiIds And Tanned.

: PHILADELPHIA Feb 10-'Tyke,
a full-blooded and superb specimen
OF the monarch of the snow-covered
plains, regardless of the distance or
change in living, is going back to
his home in Manitoba.
After dreary days and months
spent in pen which has been his
city home six months, this gray
coated nomad of the out-of doors is
soon to be shipped to the I'M
bounded fields of the northland by
his owner, DIR. Ralph Flint.
A hunting party in the Canadian
northwest last winter captured
"Tyke" when he was still but a
few days old. For many weeks the
party was beyond the reach of
and the young timber
wolf was petted and fondled until it
became tame, and lost, apparently,
all trace of fondness for freedom.
Six months ago "Tyke" arrived in
this city. For time, and because
of his gentleness, the timber wolf
was the pet Of the neighborhoodI
Four weeks ago, according to DIR.
Flint, he was compelled to leave
the city, and during his absence
the even tenor of the VOLTS animal
ways was disturbed by boys living
in the neighborhood.
Stones and sticks were hurled.
said DIR. Flint. and soon came the
dismal howl in the stiffness of the
night, the cry of dumb animal for
the life of his kind.
Back to that life he returns to-
day, in a crate in baggage car,
but with the knowledge, perhaps,
that he soon will be free.

HANGS FROM WINDOW
TO ESCAPE RAIDERS

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10.-In an
effort to escape arrest by Govern
ment narcotic agents, Joseph Kelly
hung by his finger tips from a win
dow on the second floor of his home.
More than $1,000 worth of" drugs
were seized in the house.
Agents traced several addicts to
kelly's home and broke in when the
addicts went away. They found Mrs.
Kelly in bed and apparently the only
person at home. However, they
searched the house, and finally
Agent Roberts saw fingers on the
window sill in the front room. He
opened the window and pulled Kelly
inside. After that Roberts discovered
q panel in the wall, forced it and the
drugs fell at his feet.
Kelly and his wife were arrested.

BRINGS HIM
CENSURE
Colorado Legislature Believed
He Painted Picture Of
World Too Black.

DENVER, Feb. 10.-The Colorado
house of representatives yesterday
adopted q resolution Of censure, ex-
pressing displeasure and disagree
ment with the sentiments expressed
yesterday in the opening prayer OF
Chaplain J. r. Kader.
Parts Of the prayer that drew
direct fire recited:
stOur courts are corrupt; God has
been expelled from our churches;
our pulpits are filled with essayists;
our boys and girls are going to the
dogs; our laboring men are going to
farmers starve and the middlemen
wax fat on exorbitant prices;
our banks are bursting with money.
The chaplain began with the ex-
clamation: ''Oh, Lord, how long il
this condition to endure?" and end
ing with the supplication that God
guide the lawmakers to the end that
greed might be overcome, and JUS
tice done among men,"
Members of the house voiced dis
agreement with the burden OF the
prayer soon after it's conclusion, and
after a period Of heated debate, ruled
that the subject be considered in ex-
ecutive session. Several hours con-
sideration Of the plea, with specta-
tors and newspaper men excluded,
resulted in the resolution, which was
ordered printed in the house journal.
A committee was appointed to in.
form the chaplain Of the action.
Representative Cook, one time
clergyman, opened debate on the
prayer with the statement that he
was amazed at the wording.
II do not believe the Almighty Is
especially concerned by these little
verbal wireless bulletins with which
our chaplain is annoying Him." he
said.

About the same date another boy

fair is the lack of cooperation on

teacher at this school. They see
no harm in making and drinking
wine, and the children are allowed
to sample 1t along with their par

want the wine. The liquor made in
this district isn't all light wine by
any means. Often a father,

The teachers do the best they can

forbidden Fruit" Deals With
Ages-oId Discussion OF
Social Issues.
By ALICE LANGELIER,
International News Service.

PARIS, Feb. 10. -'Forbidden
Fruit" now being given at the
Odeon Theater under the direction
of Gemier. is probably the most.
taIked-of play of the season.
Gustave Terry, the author, and
the editor OF Louvre, has had the
courage to discuss in public the
problem of illegitimate maternity.
He attempts to tyll all those who
are preaching the repopulation of
France that their efforts are ut.
terly useless so long as they hold
up to shame and public scorn the
child-mother.
He lays special stress upon the
fact that France needs children,
the mother, even If she is not mar
cred, whether it be natural or not.
ION the tree of Iife," he says,
there is no forbidden fruit
Scene of the Action.
The action takes place in 1894,
after the country, already short of
men, has been swept by another
great war.
On the Cote d'Azur, a well-to-do
gentleman learns that his daughter,
a graduate Of the university, in a
moment of folly, has abandoned
herself to a major in the medical
corps and ID about to become a
mother. Faithful to his theories,
the father proudly supports the
right of his daughter to dispose of
her own life, while the girls aunt
is shocked and ashamed.
The father hurries to the priest
of the parish, who lends an ear to
the story. but not his sanction.
However, all trouble is avoided, for
the young doctor, who was believed
lost in battle, returns, and all ends
well.
With the scene laid in 1894 in
the course of a. new war, the au-
thor takes his opportunity to com
pare the morals of the French
bourgoisie with those of the primi-
tive peoples who are fighting un-
der the French flag.
