tents of the White House news talked
about it the madden they grew and
there doubtless will be an open out
burst in both houses next week. The
situation is one that may make all
sorts of future trouble for the ex-
ecutive and further strained rela-
tions between the White House and
congress.
However, congress has no power
to make Secretary Weeks spend the
money it has appropriated. 1t can
only retaliate against the president
and his secretary of war. who di
reefs the army engineers charged
with the ALLEGATION of the $57,000,000
fund
At first, senators learned today,
President Harding intended to send
a letter to congress asking for re-
peal of the larger appropriation for
rivers and harbors and intimating
that he might have to veto the bill.
Then it is said he hit upon the expe-
dent of telling Secretary Weeks to
spend only the amount recommended
by the budget director.
Already threats of reprisal are be-
ing heard in congressional circles
and if the presidential order cutting
rivers and harbors allowance goes
through the senate may retaliate
against the British debt settlement,
the ship subsidy bill or other meas
ures of the administration.
Precedent Is Set
Never before, it is said, has a pres
ident so exercised his powers. Pres
idents have sought sanction to veto
a single item in a bill and not the
entire measure but this power has
never been delegated. 1t has been
a question of veto the whole thing
or sign the bill.
The president, strong supporter
of the budget idea, probably knows
that he has invited fight and the
reaction in congress will be enter
tanning.
The amendment to which he OBJ
iects was offered by Representative
S. Wallace Dempsey, of New York,
chairman of the house rivers and
.harbors committee. 1t passed the
house overwhelmingly and the SEN
ate voted down proposals to cut
down the amount. The senate vote
was As to So. The house appropfia-
tons committee raised the budget
directors figures from SGT 100000
to $37 900 900, but this did not sat
isfy advocates of rivers and harbors
and when Dempsey came along and
proposed $57 100000 which the pres
ident now says shall not be spent,
both bodies of congress approved it.

THRILLING ACCOUNT
Of SEA BATTLE IS
GIVEN BY PILOT
BY JOHN ARCHER CARTER
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright, 1929


BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 10.-His
nerves still vibrating like taut fiddle
strings and one fractured rib slowly
knitting, Pilot John Davis lies in
bed here. He speaks little, by doc
tors orders, but occasionally adds
a solitary sentence or two to local
port records and radio dispatches
which help build up a romance of
the sea.
1t might have stepped from Con-
rad novel, this story, for it has to
do with sailing vessels heavy seas
and a race. The only love element,
however, that e tiers into it, has to
do with the love of skipper for
the Ieap:ng thing of steel and wood
below him.
Pilot Davis brought back here the
finale of what started to be race
between the barkentine Maid of
England and the schooner Mary F.
Anderson, both of which broke speed
records for vessels of their class,
January 16, between Baltimore and
the Virginia capes. The finale is
virtually a pair of wrecked vessels
off the coast of New F'oundland.
Captain OXner, Of the schooner,
heard Captain Dixie, of the barken-
tine, boasting of the speed and abil-
ity of his craft. The boasts irked
Oxner and he challenged for a race
from Baltimore to Halifax. The
challenge was accepted.
There was a strong northwest
wind when the Maid of England
headed down the Chesapeake, a Gle
opatra possessed of bedevilled in
steps. Eight hours later the chal-
lenger followed. They passed the
cares in a smother of wind and sea.
The pilot of the Anderson landed.
John Davis, who took the Maid out,
did not.
For two weeks no word came Of
the whereabouts of the vessels.
John Davis wife waited, and hoped,
with the hope of women who know
the sea. Then came radio mes
sage.
The barkentine, Maid of England,
was reported signalling distress off
the Nova Scotia coast. One man
had lost his life. The steamer Man
chester City was standing by. This
was followed by another report. The
schooner Mary f. Anderson had lost
rudder, masts and sails. Both later
were toWed into harbor.
Here entered Pilot Davis. Carried
north by the barkentine, which
could not safely be checked to land
him, he was landed at Halifax in
bad shape 1t was days after he
reached home before he could talk
of the experience.
Race" he asks in a whisper,
ooh, yes, the race. Rather a battle
not against each other but against
the seas. I was unable to get off
at the capes. The storm grew worse.
For two days a youngster Fred
Clark, and myself were dashed to
the pumps. Then ,Clark's ropes
broke and wave took him off. I
was saved. But look at me-a
wreck like the Maid of England"

HARDING BLOCKS
BIC HARBDR ITEM
STIRS Up STORM
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
403 Evans Building.
Ry THEODORE TILLER

: WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IL
Senators and representatives who
supported the Dempsey amendment
to the army bill for a rivers and har-
bors appropriation of $57 10000
were amazed Saturday when word
reached them that President Har-
ding has instructed Secretary Weeks
not to permit the army engineers
to expend that sum. but to hold ex-
pend:tures to the budget directors
mandate of only $27,000,000. Thus
the president would get around his
implied obligation to veto the army
bill and the rivers and harbors item.
He would sign the bill and yet cut
one appropriation therein so per
cent.
BY this course President Harding
probably will bring about a greater
congressional rebellion than he
would incur should he veto the bill.
There was indignation around the
senate late today when senators
learned of the presidents orders.
They took the position that by sub
terfuge the president was multiplying
the act of congress, the appropriate
ing body.
Retaliation Is Seen
- Either the president should eXer
else his veto power or let the bill
operate as passed by congress, it
was argued. The more the recip-

Sumter County Leads
State in Sale of
Hogs and Cattle

AHERICUS, Ga, Feb. 9.-Sum-
cattle than any county in Georgia.
During the past week farmers at
Americas, Leslie and Plains have
received approximately $4,000 from
the sale of swine alone. In addition,
a solid carload of fine beef cattle
was shipped from Americas to Co.
lumbus for slaughter. These cash
sales do not include purchases by
local butchers, nor large quantity
peddled in. Americas and nearby
towns by farmers.
George o. Marshall county farm
demonstration agent, who developed
hog and cattle raising here, still
manages the cooperative sales
through which a majority of the
swine are disposed of. The success
of the industry is attributed by Mr..
Marshall wholly to the early intro
duction of pure bred Duroc Jersey
hogs and the elimination of piney
wood rooters from Sumter's herds.
One or two Of the show places of
Sumter county are now devoted
wholly to raising hogs for a money
crop. One of these, belonging to c.
c. Hawkins and E. C. Hawkins, is
located on the Ellaville highway,
four miles out of Americas, the herd
being maintained there being valued
at around $4,000. One fine boar
alone cost the Hawkinses $4,000,
while another was purchased for
the round sum of $4,000 There are
there now between 500 and 600 hogs
all of the pure bred Duroc Jersey
type, and in magnificent condition.
Although Mr.. Hawkins raises hogs
principally for show and breeding
purposes, he participates as well in
the cooperative farmers sales, ha-v.
ing sold recently more than $1,000
of meat hogs through the medium
of such sales

means of bringing the bill up on
the floor of the house.
Although many Republican lead.

candidates for the floor leadership

Madden, of the appropriations COM

in favor of action on the Ford offer
