HARDING MUST
SETTLE NAVY
GUN ROW
Secretary Hughes and Assis-
tant Secretary Roosevelt at
Odds Over Provisions.

Official confirmation was given
at the State Department today to
an exclusive international News
Service dispatch Of March "a an
nouncing that President Harding
would be the final arbiter in the
controversy between Secretary of
State Hughes and Acting Secretary
OF the Navy Roosevelt over the ele-
walton Of guns on American capital
ships.
Until the President returns from
Florida, officials said, the contro-
versy aroused by the Interpretation
OF the Washington naval treaty
will remain in Status quo"
Secretary Hughes holds that 1t
would constitute a violation Of the
treaty for the United States navy
to increase the firing range Of its
warships.
An appropriation OF $4,000, 900
for this purpose was made by Con-
gress on the basis of apparently
reliable information that such i'm
provements already had been made
by the British.
Great Britain has denied, how.
ever, that this is true, and officials
fear that the carrying out of the
American moderation program
would lead to a formal protest from
London.

JURY To PROBE
AN|PULAT|ON
IN SUGAR
MY. District Attorney Ordered
to Investigate Criminal
Aspects Of Case.
By w. H. ATKINS,
international News Service.

The Governments investigation
Of high sugar prices ordered by
President Harding was speeded up
today when the Department OF
Justice instructed United States
District Attorney Hayward at
New York to gather evidence
against alleged sugar spectators
for presentation to Federal grand
juries.
Spectators To Be Exposed.
The New York phase Of the sugar
probe IL the most vital part of the
campaign of Acting Attorney Gen.
eral Seymour to determine If a
criminal conspiracy" Is responsible
for recent price increases.
Bringing their best legal talent
into action, officials Of the Depart.
ment of Justice plan rapid accumu-
lation Of evidence and speedy ex.
posture Of the alleged manipuIators
now blamed for present fictitious
prices.
The Governments inquiry il to
be made sweeping in character. in
view Of reports which have reached
officials Of q plot to force sugar UP
to 20 cents, IL possible, before sum.
mer. If It should reach that figure.
the American people will suffer a
loss Of more than $1,000, 900 900 by
the extortion.
Searching inquiry into the books
OF some of suspected brokerage
firms is under way. Orders also
have been issued to ascertain the
alleged connection Of certain Of the
sugar refiners and sugar planta-
ton owners in Cuba. Some of
those who direct the affairs Of
large refineries also are listed as
owners Of Cuban plantations,
These individuals lost heavily in
the crash Of sugar prices about two
years ago.
At the department today officials
were not prepared to divulge names
Of such persons as may now be
under suspicion To do this, it was
said, would defeat the Government
in its present effort. They will he
made known later, however, when
the Governments case is complete.
Representatives Of the beet sugar
industry also are to be questioned.
Department officials withheld com.
ment upon this and other phases of
the inquiry, but it was evident that
the Governments legal branch has
determined TO go into every angle
| of complaint laid before 1t and es-
tablish responsibility for the pres.
ent situation.

By GEORGE II. HOLMES.
international News Service.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, March
26.- Political advisers of President
Harding are greatly pleased by the
reaction to the announcement o1
the Harding candidacy in 1924, II
was learned here today.
Attorney General Harry M
Daugherty, who made the historic
announcement at Miami q week
ago. has advised the President OF
the receipt Of a FLOOD" Of con-
gratulatory messages from party
leaders in all parts Of the country.
Some of the most prominent coun.
selors in the party have wired
that ''the country was waiting for
this time would give a nuch-needed
Qualification to the political atmoS
phere.
Checks Rival Candidates.
This view is also taken by mem.
hers of the Presidents immediate
party. Whatever else it has done,
they said today. it has served to
check, If not to stop altogether,
much Of the quiet grooming" OF
various candidates that has been
in progress ever since rumors be-
came current that Mr.. Harding
"Ou1Q not De a CanQ1QaLS.
Attorney General Daugherty prob.
ably will come to st. Augustine to-
morrow or Wednesday to spend the
remainder Of his convalescent
period, and incidentally to talk over
with the President the effect Of his
political announcement at Miami.
Behind on News.
Mr.. Harding himself is giving
little thought to anything but his
vacation, although since his arrival
in st. Augustine and over the
weekend he managed to get
caught up" on news and events
that transpired during his three
weeks isolation on his house.boat
cruise. Newspapers were not a
part Of the Pioneers equipment, and
there were days at a stretch when
the Chief Executive scarcely saw
the headlines. During a quiet Sun
day the President did considerable
reading.
Today Mr.. Harding planned to
play thirty-six holes of golf, dou-
bling his usual round.

SENATOR SAMUEL NICHOLSON

Senator Samuel Nicholson, Of Colo

Gus member of official society circles
while In washington. died Saturday
night at his Denver home after .
chronic disease lasting more than q
month.
His entire family--his daughter
Mrs. Max Melville; his son, Edward
Nicholson; the. son.in-law, MIR. Nal
vile, and a brother. Murdock ~
Nich01son-were at his bedside when
death came.
Al few days before adjournment Of
the House, Senator Nicholson was
compelled to call in physicians to
subdue pains which had been at1-
noying him frequently. He was adj
vised to undergo an operation.
This was the Senator's first seri-
GUS illness and the first time he had
ever called upon medical science to
aid him.

School should be merged through

Washington, if the high school unit
indicated is established, pupils reach

Placing the school in the suburb,
well out, would benefit the traction
company At present incoming cars
at the hour when pupils start for
school are crowded, but the out
going cars travel eInpty. The move
ment Of the high school body to the
suburban district at that hour Of
the day, and ite return at the close
Of the day when general traffic
Is In the opposite direction, would
fill the cars now operated as emp
ties. The traction company could
afford to make q two-cent school
fare during these hours. So that
removes the objection to the con.
solidated high school unit in the
suburb"
Trade or shop training, according
to Secretary Davis, is frequently
found to be the corrective where
pupils develope backwardness in
covering academic courses. In
speaking of the value of shop
framing In this respect, he said:
AT Mooseheart we have found
pupils in the high school who
seemingly had exhausted their
mental capability in the academic
course, when transferred to the
trade courses and given sufficient
shop work, were later able to re-
turn to their academic high school
courses and get away with them.
But fundamentally, training for
trade work in public schools is
made essential by modern condi.
tons which call for a practically
educated citizenry and not as a
correction Of backwardness. Edu-
Gated hands and educated heads go
together and on their union Amer.

acy will depend"
Illustrating the Importance at.
tached to trade" training advocated
by Secretary Davis Is the activity
OF his little four-year-o1d daughter,
who is busy knitting Daddy a
necktie. "They might as well be.
gin learning practical things as soon
as they can be taught to do them, >"
he explained. "Why put off a
year what can be done today. In
final analysis education Is learning

them for their faithful efforts and
loving care. Realizing the made
