HARD|NG'S DOCTOR,
 [. W. SAWYER, DIES
Passes Away Suddenly From
 Heart Disease

Marion, Ohio, Sept, 24.-- Funeral arrangementsf or pr. Charles Elmer Sawyer, former personal physician to the late President Harding, who died suddenly ot heart disease yes- terday, were being completed by the family today. While date of burial had not been definitely decided, sthe family announced interment would be in the Marion cemetery, where the body of the late president was placed.
 It was thought that funeral ar engagements would be made for Fri day and that Secretary of States Charles E, Hughes and many of the physicians Washington friends would attend. Telegrams of sym pathy continued to pour into the family home from all sections of the United States. President and Mrs Coolidge and Secretary. and Mrs. Hughes sent messages last night.
 Secretary Hughes is to be here for the formal opening of the republican state campaign Saturday, and it was believed likely that he, with other notables. would make an effort to arrive a day earlier if the funeral was arranged for that time.
 pr. Sawyer died peacefully, while sleeping. Returning to his home at White Oak farm here yesterday aft- ernoon, he complained of illness and his son, Dr. Carl W. Sawyer took him into his office while he went for medicine. He was dead when his son returned.
 Mrs. Florence King Harding, widow of the late president, has been making her home with the Sawyer's since her husbands death and was present when death came.
 Slightly more than a year had elapsed since Dr. Sawyer stood be- side the late presidents bedside in 8 San Francisco hotel and watched while he passed on. He had been with MT. Harding since shortly after his nomination for the presidency and was one of his closest friends.
 Born near Wyandote, Ohio, 64 years ago, Dr. Sawyer obtained a practical education in the village scEool at Nevada. He began the study of medicine at the age of II and was graduated from the Cleve. land Homeopathic Hospital college of Cleveland, in 1881. He began his practice at Larue in April of the same year.
 His widow and son survive.

WESLEYAN FACULTY TAKES
 OVER FIGHT ON LIQUOR
Students Unable to Cope With Ghost of John Barlcycorn and Au-
 thorities Step In.
(speclal to the Herald.)

kSppClul 10 lne lleIalu,l
 Middletown, Sept. 24,-That the honor system at Wesleyan univer- sity in so far as the enforcement of prohibition regulations is concerned is more or less of a failure, is indi- cated by the action of the faculty in withdrawing from the student body the administration of the laws on this question.
 The college maintains an honor system by which the students have been in the custom of electing their own officers and enforcing the laws and the custom has been marked with considerable success in general.
 Two years ago the administration of the regulations regarding aco- holic beverages was put into the hands of the student body and the result has not been entirely satis- factory.
 At chapel yesterday Acting Presi- dent LeRoy Rowland made the an- nouncement that the faculty had taken over the administration of regulations so far as liquor was con- cerned. He said there~were no spe- citic instances of violations while the administration was in the hands of the student body that it had not been entirely successful.

Sale of Articles Made
 By Blind Craftsmen

There is to be an exhibition and sale of articles made by blind people in New Britain and nearby places at the store of Besse-Leland company, 221 Main street, New Britain, all day Friday of this week. The sale has been arranged by the state board of education of the blind, which sends home teachers into the homes of blind people about the state to teach them to read with their fingers and to make useful articles. The board then collects these articles and sells them at sales such as this one. The full price which is paid for an arti- cle is turned over to the blind per- son who made 1t. In this way a considerable number of blind people are given employment and arc help ed to make the long hours little more bearable.
 There are more than 1900 blind people in Connecticut. and of this number about 800 are more than 50 years of age. Many of these are too old or too infirm to go to an in- stitution for the blind to learn to make useful articles. It is for this reason that the state sends teachers into the homes. They teach the blind to read with their fingers and to make baskets, teastands, serving trays, and a variety of raffia and read work. The women are taught to make aprons. towels. pillow cases, wash cloths. holders, sweaters, baby's wear,. and variety of other knitted, sewed and crocheted arti- cles. The quality of the work is good, and the prices are moderate. Among the exhibitors will be Miss Alice Conroy of 450 Church street this city, A variety of rugs, as well as homemade candy. will be on sale.
 One of the state board, Miss Ivie M. Mead. will be in charge of this sale. Miss Hazel B. Jones, from the

CITE REASONS FOR OUS7ING WOMAN
Texas Contestants Object to Mrs.
 Ferguson as Governor
By Tho Assoelnted Dress.

By Tho Associated Press.
 Austin, Texas, Sept, 2i.--Decisions of The courts of many states as well as the common law were cited yes- terday before District Judge George c. Calhoun to support the conten- ton that women are ineligible to hold executive public office and that therefore Mrs, Miriam A. Ferguson is disqualified to be governor of Texas.
 Cases decided in Massachusetts, Michigan and ether states were brought forth by'Judge I, w. steph- ems, arguing for the plaintiff in an effort 10 prove that the common law placed the ban of legal disability on women as office holders.
 The constitution of Texas passed in 1876, did not qualify women to hold office and the statutes have not given them this right, he said.
 The Robinson case decided in M tNont6 Ni4 bnfbtn VI tln AbhtIl bS Stephens as the leading one on the point This, he said. had been fol- lowed by all the state. He quoted from a book Law of Married Wom- en-" written by Ocie Speer, an at torney for Mrs. Ferguson. to show that the disability against women still remains.
 James E. Ferguson, the candi- dates husband. who was named as a Co-defendant, filed a plea of mis- Joiner on the ground that he is not proper party to the suit.
 T defy the gentlemen on the oth- CT side to find a single instance in all history where a woman has been a governor of any state or any na- tion," Judge Stephens said. of course, the word clerk immediately suggests something else, but gover- nor, never.
 Common sense revolts at the idea of a married woman being governor, placed over her husband, when she cannot even, under the law, make a deed to land in her own name with out him.
 "The men who made the constitu- tion would turn over in their graves if they had known such an interpre- tation could have been placed on the document they wrote.
 The constitution says man shall l be governOr-not an impeacheu man. not a married woman, but q man, one who can organize and lead the military forces and perform the ether duties imposed upon man governor by the constitution
 Counsel for the plaintiff brought ont that the constitution makes the governor head of the military forces which must be composed of able todied men and that he must tak' an oath that he has never fought duel. which things, taken with ith CTS, it was contended, show that onl! a man could be eligible for governo in the minds of the constitution makers,
 The common law, it was said made d woman ineligible for an! office of judgment and discretion, unless the duties could be performed by deputy.
 John Brady, a defense attorney taking up the argument for Mrs Ferguson, went directly to the con tention that the statutes do not giv' a private individual the right t' bring such a suit unless the 1ndi yidual is peculiarly and specitcall, injured.

Wheat Pooling Is Seen
 As Economic Fallacy

Cincinnati, Sept. 24.-Wheat pool ing is an economic fallacy and can succeed only on a rising market, " Dr. J. E. Boyle, professor of rural economy, Cornell university, today told the Grain Dealers National as- soCiation.
 Present wheat pools, he declared, will all disappear, They are not CO., operative, but a substitute for it and an enemy 10 farmers elevators"
 Dr. Boyle asserted that local farmers elevators were true CO., opcrations and had saved money" !" Lut he added, they arc not spectac- lar enough for leaders" He charac- terized the formation of the United States Grain Growers, Inc, as a dramatic gesture of these leaders, ' He declared it spent $75O,0oo of the farmers money in three years and then died without making any grain"

PLANS BEING MADE TO EXPLAIN GERMAN STAND
Memorandum Being Drafted Setting Forth Conditions for Joining
 World League,
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press
 Berlin, Sept. o4.-The German government today began the task of drawing up a memorandum set ting forth the conditions under which Germany will. in conformity with yesterdays cabinet decision, apply for membership in the League of Nations. The memoran- dunn will be sent. to all of the gov ernments which are members of the league council and will set forth the German desire and con- ditions.
 The memorandum, it is under %tood, will ask definite enlighten- ment as to whether Germany will be offered aNpermanent seat in the council of the league and it will expressly declare that Germanys en- try into the league would in no way imply reaffirmation of her war guilt
 It also is understood that the memorandum will request intorma- ton as to the obligations Germany would undertake through member chip, especially regarding the trans port of foreign troops through Ger many for the assistance of a neigh boring state which might be attack ed by third power.
 On this point the German govern ment contends that such transport would involve a breach of neutral ity, especially towards Russia, and that it might lead to hostilities.
 The memorandum, which probably will be submitted to the govern ments concerned at an early date, will first be examined by the cab inet and by the governments of the federal states. N
