SENATORS SEEK UNITY.
Bruce Vote Prevents Smith s
Choice Over Cummins.

Negotiations were under way today
to break the deadlock over the election
of a chairman of the Senate inter-
state commerce committee-the COM
mittee which will handle any railroad
legislation.
The progressive group was in con-
ference in the office of Senator Norris
of Nebraska for some time today.
Members of the conservative repub-
lican group also were in conference.
The indications today were that
neither Senator Cummins of Iowa nor
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin
elected chairman of the interstate
commerce committee.
The alternative appeared to be the
election of Senator Smith of South
Carolina, democrat through com
bination of democrats and progress
sives, or the election of a republican
member of the committee other than
Cummins or La Toilette, who might
be agreed upon by the progressives
and conservatives. There were fntf-
mations that such a solution of the
deadlock might be worked out, be-
tween the progressives and the reg
ular republicans.
The sensational shift yesterday of
votes by five of the progressives--
three republicans and two farmer
laborites-to Senator Smith, demo-
crat. was offset by the vote of Sena-
tor Bruce of Maryland. democrat. for
Senator Cummins. the republican
nominee. Senator Bruce'S change
from Smith to Cummins prevented
election of Senator Smith as chair
man yesterday.
The Senate is not meeting today
will not meet until Saturday. Under
an agreement entered into, nothing
but routine morning business is to
be transacted Saturday, and the Sem
ate will then adjourn until Monday:

OPTIMISTS HEAR
HARDING EULOGY

A eulogy of Warren G. Harding as
a citizen and as a man was delivered
by Joseph A. Burkart, a local attor-
ney, yesterday afternoon before the OPP
timist Club at meeting in the City
Club

the rich" said Mr. Burkart. More

are without greatness tfan TO the
great without riches.
The man in whose memory this
meeting is being held today stimuli
taneously with meetings throughout
the country enjoyed a maximum of
greatness and only modicum of
riches. If any man living deserves
monument to his greatness to be
erected by the loving hands of those
whom he served, that man was war

and loyal, iovable and kind and had
generous spirit, which extended its

Mr.. Burkart recited a short BIZ
ography of the late President, tell
! ing of his struggle as youth of
nineteen with a semi-bankrupt news
paper which he had to help by OBJ
tanning funds from selling insurance,
and finally brought it to the point
where shortly before he left the
White House for the Alaskan trip
be sold this paper for hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars. Four points
of character were outstanding in
| Warren Harding, Mr.. Rurkhart said
--fearlessness, courage, rare judg-
ment and keen perception. Four
great steps as President demanded
the call to action of all these at
tributes-the disarmament conference.
in which a war filled world decided
to scrap the utensils for war: the
veto of the bonus despite the ap-
parent loss of popularity by such
step; the support Of the ship subsidy
despite the strong opposition against it
and the inauguration of the budget sys-
tenn.
In concluding Mr.. Burkart said:
Warren Harding and Warren Hard
ing's memory cannot die. He did too
much for his people to allow them
to forget him..
The club appointed committee of
FIVE to arrange ways and means
whereby 1t could be represented in
the plans for the Harding memorial.
