With Presidents
Itinerary
BY JEAN ELIOT.

TV HE suggestion has been maze
that President Harding
- visit Yellowstone Park in
the course of his proposed West
ern trip. If he should-and it is
by no means impossible, although
admittedly the making OF Presi-
Dental itineraries is faVorlte
sport in Washington ana not al
ways backed up by official 1nfor-
mation--it will bring out some
amusing contrasts, for two other
Presidents have visited this ma
tional park while in office ana
under unusual circumstances.
The first was President Arthur.
In his visit Mr. Arthur was ac-
companied by several members
of his Cabinet, members OF the
Supreme Court and the personnel
of a visiting British mission. The
entire "Trip was made on morse
back, and in order that Presi-
dent Arthur might not be entirely
isolated from the outside world,
a pony dispatch relay service was.
established at tWenty-n1le inter-
walls from the nearest telegraph
line to the various camps made
by the Presidential party.
l.
lowstone was President Roosevelt,
who visited the park in company
Of John Burroughs, the natural
list, and took part in the dedica-
ton of one of the entrance gates.
If the President and Mrs. Hard
ing do. take in the Yellowstone, it
will undoubtedly be by automo-
bile.
THE festivities in honor of the

who are holding their biennial
council meeting here this week,
will have their climax this after
noon in the reception which Mrs.
Taft. wife of Chief Justice Taft,

CHICAGO, May 6.-More than
100 persons, including Walter Dill
Scott. president Of Northwestern
University have been summoned to
appear before the May grand jury,
which convenes today, to tell what
they know regarding the disappear
ance Of Leighton Mount. freshman
student at the university, whose
body was found a week ago beneath
pier at Evanston. Charges have
been made that Mount lost his life
in a class fight with sopohomores
and that his body was concealed un-
der the pier after he had accidentally
met death in the rough hazing.
Sensational evidence has been un-
earthed by attaches Of the State at
torney's office. John Strom, fish
erman, has declared he saw the
struggle in which the youth was
killed, but officials are not placing
strong Credence in the story. They
will cheek it over carefully.
Storm said he saw three men carry
MOunI - UOuy W pier lnIe6 DlOCkS
from the one under which it was
found and lower it through a hole
they had broken in the flooring.
There was talk, Strom said, of put
ting sand in Mounts mouth to quiet
his cries.
If. as Strom said, Mounts body
was lowered into a hole In a pier
three blocks from where it was
found. some one had moved it, a con-
tention which has been advanced
previously.
Search was being continued for j.

Mount disappeared His actions on

VALUATIONS
Senator La Toilette Calls Con-
ference to Prepare for |.
c. C. Hearing.
COPYRIGHT 81 UNDERWOOD q UNDERWOOD
BY WILLIAM HARD

A great sectional political battle
between the West and the South on
the one hand and the Middle North
and East on the other is portended
by the call issued today by Senator
La Toilette on behalf of the pro
gressive group" for a national
conference on valuation of Ameri.
can railroads" at Chicago on May
25.
Such was the conclusion reached
here today by political observers
after a study of La Follettes call
and after a consideration of the
forces behind it.
This conclusion was based on two
propositions. The first has to do
with the immediate situation in the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
From a leading member of the
valuation organization Of the Inter.
state Commerce Commission this
writer learns the following facts:
PrOgressives Asleep.
The "progressives" and radicals"
in Congress have been asleep at the
railroad switch. 1t is true that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
has not yet issued any final de
of any railroad. 1t is also true.
however, that the commission has
issued a large number of "tenta-
tive valuations" and has sent them
to the railroads to get their obiec-
tons. In many cases the railroads.
having already previously argued
their cases before representatives
of the commission, have filed no
further objections. These cases
therefore are virtually finished. All
that remains now Is for the com
mission to take its tentative valu-
atoms" In these cases and issue
them AS final and decisive. If
therefore the "proEressives" and
radicals" have anything to say
it is pretty nearly their last call
for saying it, They have walked
up at the eleventh hour.
Such was the statement Of this
official Seeking then to know if
the remarks Of the "progressiVes'
and radicals would be welcomed
by the Commission, this writer APP
preached member of the Commits
sion who informed him as follows:
Will Get Hearing.
II think the Commission will he
glad to hear their views and I
think further that every sort of
view ought certainly to be present

arguments given to us by investiga
tors and attorneys. The railroads
