CARE IN SEARCHING
AUTOS FOR LIQUOR
TO De NEW POLICY

A clarifying definition of the
policy governing search of sus-
pected liquor running cars was
outlined Wednesday by Prohibition
Director Fred DiSmuke in announc.
ing that no government action will
be taken against the three West
Point youths who wounded q pro
hibition agent several days age hen
their car was halted on the high
way.
, MFR. Dismuke said that in the fu-
ture the agents will be instructed
to fire upon no automobile except
in defense of their lives; that agents
would not search automobiles PRO
miscuously,'' and that the highways
would not be blocked in the attempt
to stop liquor cars.
However he explained, "agents
will continue to search automobiles
which they have reason to believe
contain liquor and they will do so
without search warrants"
Director Dsimuke announced that
Agent Grady Cobb, one OF the two
men involved in the West Point in
cident, had been recommended for
suspension pending investigation,
He made this announcement after
hearing the report from committee
deputized by him to investigate the
West Point occurrence,
Mr.. Dismuke declared the report
of this board convinced him that
the West Point affair was a mis-
take on both sides" He said he
was shaping the policy to be fol-
lowed by prohibition agents in cCr.
formity with rulings handed down
by United States Judges Samuel H.
Sibley and William II. Barrett.
The committee deputized to inves-
tigate the West Point shooting was
composed Of j. w. Powell, legal adj
wiser in the prohibition office; Agent
A. c. SoWell, and II. X. Nichols, OF
the district attorneys office.

OFFICIALS AT WASHINGTON,
BEWILDERED BY EVENTS,
ANXIOUSLY AWAIT NEWS

has realized his need here in Wash
ington, where the cabinet representa-
ton is so slender d thing.
Two of the presidents cabinet are
in Europe, Secretary OF the Treas
ury Mellon, and the Secretary of
Labor John w. Davis. This is in
itself is an unusual situation, pos
sibly without precedent, for cabinet
members in the past have done very
little travelling abroad. Four mem
bers of the cabinet are on the Pa
c;fic coast, and two are at their sum-
mer homes.
Washington, therefore, is once
more IN the sla elk waters of the rush
ing stream as a president fights for
his life. 1t was so in that Hateful
September of 1901, when Mckinley
battled in vain against the pOisons
of an assassin's bullet carried into
a system not well enough equipped
to withstand the assault. Mckinley,
after many optimistic bulletins were
sent from his bedside, collapsed and
died in Buffalo.
Harding McKinley's Type
Mr.. Harding has been known here
in Washington and throughout the
country as a Mckinley type of man,
both mentally and physically. Both
he and Mr., Mckinley are of the sub
missive type of temperament.
President Harding has been for
tunate during most of his public
career in having Mrs. Harding to
fight his battles for him, just as she
is fighting now to turn the tide
of fate from her loved ones side.
Mrs. Harding has the courage and
the indomitable will Of one of the
stored red-haired Norsewomen Of
the old Viking days in the north.
1t has been her will, herr wish, her
optimistic courage, that has held
the president to a charted course
when his own prediction to concilia-
ton would have turned him aside.
1t is we'll known in Marion and
it is we'll known among the presi-
dents intimate friends here, that 1t
was Mrs. Harding who made her
husband president of the United
States. When the influence OF
Harry Daugherty and George Chris
tian and many others seemed of 40
avail, it was Mrs. Harding who
kept the president-to-b in the pr.
mary race for the presidential nomi-
nation in 1920. Under number OF
early adverse blows, Mr.. Harding
wanted to retire from the race for
the higher office and content him
self once more with the senatorial!
nomination the party leaders agreed
could be his for the asking. The,
senatorial way was the easy way
and Mr.. Harding wanted it. The
presidential race was the fighting
way and Mrs. Harding wanted it.
She won. and became the first lady
of the land, the romance of he.
life constituting one of the most re-
markable chapters in the history o.
this country.

Only Two Cabinet Members
in Capital With Possible
Momentous Changes in
National Affairs impending
By ROBERT T. SMALL
Especial Wire Service to The Journal.)
Copyright. 1922

Copyright, 1922
WASHINGTON, July 81. - Wash
ington stood bewildered today by
the rush Cf events at the PARKWAY
temporary capital Of the United
States on the Pacific coast. 1t
was realized here that momentous
changes in the aspects of national
affairs were impending. The con-
stituted capital Of the country, all
but deserted by the higher-ups OF
officialdom, stood at attention, ready
for any command that might come.
The news from San Francisco car
ried it's messages with changing sig
nificance to many parts of the coun-
try. The eyes of the people are TO-
cused upon Washington, upon the
city by the golden gate, and upon
a little speck on the map called
plymouth, VT. In the latter village
sat Calvin Coolidge, vice president
of the United States; grim, taciturn,
not yet penetrated the calm, placid
exterior of Calvin Coolidge, but he is
known here as the man who never
smiles. That he should be graver
still today is only natural.
Out OH S street another silent,
grave man sits listening in on the
news that for two days has kept the
country on the tip toe of expectancy.
He is an ex-president Of the United
States. He, too, was stricken down
while visiting the Pacific coast. and,
oddly enough, Woodrow Wilson
dates his decline from the city of
Seattle, just as the physicians say
it was the strain of a strenuous day
in the city on the Puget Sound that
helped to break down the resistance
of President Harding.
Mr.. Wilson Solicitors
Mr.. Wilson is reported as being
extremely solicitous concerning Mr..
Harding, for he has never harbored
any i'll feeling against the latter for
the blows he delivered at "Wilson-
ism" during the campaign Of 1920,
when Wilson, i'll in the White House,
could not iight back.
The two lone cabinet members in
Washington, Secretary of State
Hughes and Postmast = General
New, exchanged many messages dur
ing the day. Bot feel the situa-
ton keenly. Harry New is one Of
Mr.. Harding's oldest and best
friends, both politically and person
ally His impulse has been to rush
to the presidents bedside, but he

State Schools to Get
One-Half of Revenues
Exceeding $8,500,O00

Governor Walker, in a communi-
cation to the senate Tuesday, de-
clared he would treat binding pro-
viso in the general appropriations
bill providing that should the revenue
of the state exceed $S,500,O00, one
half of the excess be appropriated
to the common schools of the state.
The governors communication was
in reply to the Landlord resolution
passed by the senate last week, re-
questing the executive to make clear
his attitude on the question before
the senate considered the general ap
preparations bill.
IL will treat such a proviso as
binding if it is incorporated in the
appropriations bill" the governor
wrc'e "Ln this connection, 1 would
suggest that the legislature take
steps to appropriate a definite sum
for the use fthe common schools
of the state"

Fairy Tale
T WlTcH'S TALK
.WARY GRAHAM BONNER

Old Witty Witch was such a friendly
soul. Everyone in Fairyland loved her
and to her delight the Fairies brought
back messages to her telling her how
much she was liked now by many,
many children.
Witty Witch had felt sad that so
many wrong ideas had gone around
about her at n time. She said that
children thought there were dreadful
people known as witches and that they
would do all sorts Of horrible things.
AS she dearly loves to be loved and
as she is particularly fond of children
Just as the Fairies are 1t really did
her feelings most dreadfully. And
now, since so many messages had been
taken out about her and sent to chill
dren and grown-ups and animals, too,
the truth was around about Witty
Witch and people knew that there
were no bad witches about, and that
Witty Witch WAS one of the dearest
OF the F~airyland creatures.
or course Witty Witch was so named
because she was so jolly and because
she was always thinking up good ideas
for parties and because she was merry
n witty and such good fun. But
this day Witty Witch asked the Breeze
Brothers to come about and take some
messages out for her. And the Breeze
Brothers said they would be delighted
to do as Witty Witch asked.
II wQnf RI Uivo q 1ittIa xolI, v yyy;<%,
Witch said, land perhaps the Fairies
and the Gnomes and the Brownies and
all Of the others will ceme. For some
OF them can help with the messages
and then after my talk I want to have
a big Fairyland supper party. I
haven't had one In ever SO long"
So first Of all the Breeze Brothers
went about and took Witty Witch's
message that she wanted to give a talk
and that she wanted to send forth
messages, and that after the talk she
wanted TO give a supper party. Witty
Witch had said she would like every
one to come at twilight that very day.
Witty Witch busted herself in get
ting ready for her supper party all
that day. oh, how much she did pre-
pare! Woodland salad and Woodland
ice cream and Woodland lady fingers
and Woodland fruits and nuts. 1t was
a magnificent supper and she spread a
great table Of moss outside her cave so
that there would be plenty of room.
And as twilight appeared So did all the
guests.
Witty Witch welcomed them all.
Old Mr.. Giant came, too, ard many Of
