Democrats Defeated.
On the strength of their increased
strength in this House, as compared
with the last Congress. the demo-
Gratis had sought to have five rules
committee seats allotted to their
m EN- hership. Refusal of the republi-
can leaders to grant this request,
coupled with the failure of the re-

NEW YORK, Mar. 26:-An ex-
pensive dress and hat listed among
the articles stolen from the apart
ment OF Dorothy Keenan,. slain
model, were found by detectives to-
day at the home of Mrs. Anna
Keenan,. the dead girls mother.
The Bradford woman, it was dis

able information about the supposed
blackmail plot which has nos here
tofCre been made public. Miss
keenan,, the negress lis sail to have
declared, had told her that she was
being impoTtuned to aid in black
mail plot against Mr.. Mitchell and
that her refusals, based on the fact
that he had been good to her," had
resulted in threats. 1t was these
threats, the Bradford woman sad,
that caused the model to seek solace

Whether Miss keenan, gave the
names of any of the persons i1Vciv-

letters last July from Miss Keenan,,
after a stormy scene. He explained,

No CONF FERE:NCE
FOR PRESIDENT
Continues to Play Golf Rather
Than Meet With Political
Leaders

ST. AUGUSTINE. March 26.-
President Harding early today left
the Hotel Ponce De Leon, where his
party has established quarters, for
the st. Augustine links to fill an ap-
pointment with Colonel Bogey,"
and the announcement was made
that the engagement would run
through thirty-siX holes.
The decision OF the executive to
devote today to golf removed for the
time being the possibility of confer
ences with political leaders, who
seem to be finding that St. Augustine
excels any other place in the United
States as a place in which to spend
q weeks vacation.
The president found several of
those, who would not object to
conference with him. to have ar
rived here before him, two or three
others have come since, and more
are expected. So far there has been
no important conference, as Mr..
Harding is holding firmly to his pro-
gram of rest and recreation.
Several matters Cf official business
are expected to be transacted during
the weeks stay here, but it was said
today to be unlikely the president
would intervene in the conflict of au-
thority that has arisen between Sec
retary DENLY of the navy depart
.ment and Comptroller General Nc
Carl, until he returned to Washing
ton. If the differences are not set
tied between the two officials, it was
admitted that it would be necessary
for the president 70 step in because

ALLIED AGREE
ON TURK NOTE
To Reply to Counter -PropoS-
ais Made in Near East
Controversy

LONDON, March 26.-(By Tbs
Associated Press s)-Complete unan-
unity has been reached among the
allied delegates to the preliminary
conference here on near eastern af-
fairs regarding the nature OF the
reply the allies will make to the
Turkish counter proposals to the
Lausanne peace treaty draft. The
work of redrafting the amended
clauses of the Lausanne document
was well along this forenoon and it
was expected it would be completed
before night and thus enable the
holding of a plenary meeting OF all
the allied delegates tomorrow,
At this meeting the findings and
recommendations of the various
subcommittee will be considered
and a covering letter to the Turkish
government will be drawn up to ac-
company the allied revised peace
terms.
Complete secrecy is still being
observed regarding the discussions
among the experts. While it is i'm
possible to forecast any of their de-
cisions it is stated on the best au-
thority that the conversations have
been characterized by the utmost
cordially. NJ. Bompard, of France,
explained that the delegates made
a pact to reveal nothing concerning
the conferences until their work
had been finished. because to do so
may endanger the negotiations. The
accounts of the discussions which
had appeared thus far in the Lon
don and Paris newspapers were, he
declared, purely speculative.

NEW PROGRAM
FOR ALDERMEN
IS EVIDENCED
Likely to Forego Any. I'm
provements Until School
Building Fund Available
SILENT TO QUESTIONS
But Indications Now Are That
New School Will be Erected
as Soon as Possible

Some of the aldermen were ques-
toned today concerning the future
of improvements in the city, since
the tabling of the resolution of the
Board of School Estimate, concern
ing the erection of new school in
Hall avenue. Although those spoken
to refuse to be quoted, it seems that
in all likelihood, improvements in
city streets, sewers, fire alarms, po-
lice call. etc, will have to wait un-
til the S250,000 has been secured for
the new school building. There IS
one exception, however, and that is
the railroad garde crossing elimina-
tion. for which funds have been pro-
vided by special legislation.
At the meeting of the aldermen OIL
Friday night, Alderman John j.
Clark, in seconding the motion mad e
by Alderman Albert G.. Waters, to
lay the resolution on the table, de-
clared that he did so with the under
standing that no further money can
be spent, until the $250,000 needed
for the new school has been forth
coming. Mr.. Clark held one excep-
ton, however, and that was the re-
moval of the fire alarm in the rear
of the Protection Hook & Ladder
house in State street, which is in an
unsafe condition.
Some weeks ago the aldermen set
aside $4,000 to be used for improve
ments, but as this amount has re-
verted back to the amount to be
used for, school purposes, it leaves
nothing 70 spend on Improvements.
At the present time the aldermen
have on hand towards the school
building the sum of S141,296. This
must be added to until the $3.50, 600
needed for the school is obtained.
The general opinion seems to be,
although members of the aldermen
talked with will not take the respon-
sibility of saying so, that all i'm
provements in the city will be held
up. including those needed on sew
eral streets, until more money is
forthcoming. This means that it
may he well into the summer sea-
son. before the conditions are such
that the aldermen will have funds
with which to repair the streets that
even now are sadly in need of at
tentiOn.

PARIS, March 26 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) Sarah Bernhardt's
condition has grown worse during
the last few hours and the household
considers that the end is near.
There was no change in Madame
Bernhardt's condition early this af-
ternoon. She was being kept con-
stantly under the influence of hypo-

physicians said he did not expect her
to survive the day.
Shortly after 8 O'Clock a priest
arrived at Madame Bernhardt' S
home to administer extreme unc-
ton.
DR.. Provost said at this hour that
the actress condition was hopeless
and that she might die an yminute.
She was then sleeping under an op-
