UNION CHIEF DENIES HE
 TOOK CRACK AT MADOC

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 25.-William H. Johnson, president of the Interna- tional Association of Machinists, to- day denied responsibility for a pub lished statement, purporting to have come from him that William c. Nc Adoo's association with the Doheny oil interests made his availability as a presidential candidate doubtful MT. Johnston is president of the National Conference for Progressive Political Action which has been in session in this city.
 Mr. Johnston's statement said:
 When discussing the question of whether or not the conference would indorse any candidate for president or vice president I replied by stating that in my opinion there would be no indorsement of any candidate. Such action would be premature.
 T did say that MT. McAdoo had the support ol very considerable portion of organized labor and with reference to his possible nomination thta his enemies would doubtless use the fact that he had been counsel for Mr. Doheny as an excuse, seeking to prevent him from securing the no- imitation. Personally, I have a very high regard for MT. McAdoo and noth Ing has taken place that has in any way lessened my regard or caused me to question his integrity"

 PREPARING TOURISTS

A letter received on one of the last boats from Roy Gilley, of Uzinki, states that he is very busy making ar engagements for conducting tourist parties to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes this season.

TEA AND COFFEE BANNED BY VOLSTEAD ACT, SAYS
 FAMOUS U. S. INVENTOR

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Hudson Max i'm, scientist and inventor, believes tea and coffee to be intoxicants within the meaning of the Volstead act and threatens to bring suit to close cafes in which these beverages are served, uless the enforcement authorities do something about it.
 He told the Free Thinkers society last night that he first would ask the federal authorities to act against the sellers of tea and coffee.
 Should they fail to do so, he said he would begin an action such as he would have a right to do against a saloon which the authorities would not raid and close.
 T have consulted many of the most eminent legal authorities in the country" he said
