TRY TO BLOCK
C0NFIR MING
OF MR.. WARREN
Senate Republicans Notify
Coolidge of Their
Intention

Washington, Feb. 12.-Administra-
ton leaders will seek to prevent ac-
tion at this session of the Senate on
the nomination of Charles B. Warren
OF Michigan, to be Attorney General.
This was disclosed today after
Chairman Cummins of the Judiciary
committee had frankly informed
President Coolidge the extent to
which opposition had developed.
If the postponement plan is sue
cessful, the President can resubmit
the nomination to the special ses-
sion of the new Senate to be called
foi March to act on executive
business.
The first effort will be to keep
the nomination in the Judiciary
committee to which it was referred a
month ago. Some of the leading
opponents to confirmation; however,
say they will make every effort to
force the issue to the floor.
While none of the acting oppon-
ents of Mr.. Warren's Domination
will pass from the Senate with the
lcosing of this Senate, the Republi-
can organization will gain a number
of seats March 4, drawing from both
the Democrats and Insurgents.

January building contracts in
Minnesota, the Dakotas, and North
ern Michigan, amounted to $5,O24, 200.
This was an increase of 35 percent
over December and of 10 percent
over January 1894. Last months to-
tai was, in fact, the second highest
January total recorded for this dis
trict, the highest having been record
ed in January 1920.

the total, fer residential buildings;
s1,13l 600, or % percent, for public
works and utilities; and 1886, 900,

Detroit. Mich, Feb. 12.-Plans for
the dawn to dusk flight which the
first pursuit group at Selfridge field

the flight was received by Major T.
G. Lanphier. commandant at Sell
fridge yesterday.
The date of the flight will be gov
erned largely by weather conditions.
Zero temperature at the take off and
tropical climate at the end Of the
flight are desired, he said, to demon
strate that the same planes can OPP
crate successfully in any climate on
the same day.
Moreover. he said, the flight is ex-
pected to prove that an entire squad
ron of pursuit planes can be moved
from border. to border in a single
Gay, as easy as single flyer can

LINCOLN NAME
N0MINATEDBY
81 DELEGATES
Only Surviving Member of
Nominating Convention
Tells About 1t
WAS THEN UNKNOWN

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Fifty- one Re-
luhlicans wrote the speech that
nominated Abraham Lincoln and
they made Il poor job of it, in the
opinion of Adison Proctor. sole SUI
wing delegate to the Chicago Re-
publican national convention at
which Lincoln was chosen as the
party presidential candidate
Mr.. Proctor, now in his eighty
nth year, is here on a lecture tour
The nominating speech for Lin
coin was entrusted by the Illinois
delegation to Norman Judd Chi
cago lawyer Mr.. Proctor said.
I'VE all looked with particular
interest to that nominating speech
as Mr.. Lincoln's position before the
convention differed from that of ii
other candidates." Mr.. Proctor said.
1.-The other candidates had their
public records to recommend them,
out Lincoln had none. SO we were
anNious to hear what judd would
say in nominating him.
I'm some respects the nominating
oI'SNSH VI WI. uuu was ulSaDDOlnI
ing. 1t seemed to lack cohesion and
force. Later, Mr.. Proctor said, he
LEANED why.
The whole affair of Lincoln's
nomination was put in the hands of
Il committee of about 80 and when
it came to writing the speech the
committee put it in Judd's hand.
They knew he was a smart law
YER Mr.. Proctor said, still they
were not enthusiastic over Judd hav-
ing the whole thing so they arranged
he was to write it and then submit
it to each one of the fifty to take
out or add what they thought was
necessary.
by the time they got through
there was not much left of Judd's
speech. The speech that the dele
gates to the Chicago convention
heard had been written by fifty-one
men,"

excavation to 10 feet in "a hours"
Mr.. Posey's statement said. "There

Cave City. KY, Feb. 12.-(By the
A. P.)-The limestone roof of Floyd
Collins cavern was reached at the
base OF the rescue tunnel early this
morning at the 45-foot stage and
ANY minute" the diggers expect to
find crevice or cavern which can
be opened sufficiently for the res
cuers to work their way down to
Collins. pinioned in rock wise at
the foot Of Sand Cave.
The down draft in the rescue shaft
became stronger this morning, nerv-
ing the wearing diggers to fresh eff
forts, although they realized that
two days may elapse before they
reach Collins unless fate points the
way through an unexpected tunnel.
The feature of the rescue work
that worries officials most is that
only three men at time can work
in the bottom of the shaft, while, if
conditions would permit, scores
would be willing to work unceasing-
ly. The shifts have been cut to one
half hour. so that fresh men can
keep the efforts up to the top most
speed consistent with safety of the
shaft walls.
Cheering News
The bottom of the dirt and sand
stone tap" everything the roof of the
old cavern which once filled the tiny
Sand Cave Valley was reached early
this morning when shelving lime

TAR ahead. More crevices began to
appear, increasing the down draft,
but none was yet found which would
indicate any sizeable tunnel. The
cheering development, it was pointed
out by H. L Carmichael. was the
reaching OF the "crevice" stratum,
proving that a cavern was near at
hand. The return of the Western
Normal football team. which had
worked all day Monday, threw the
rescue squad into a four-team race,
which is making the dirt fly under
almost superhuman drive.

EXPLORER LEAVES
GOVERNMENT SERVICE
Wilson Poponoe, Agricultural In
vestigator, Quits U. S. Post
for Fruit Company.

Wilson Poponoe, for the past II
years an agricultural explorer for the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, and who in his search for new
plants and fruits has visited practi-
caIly every Latin American country,
will leave the government service
October / to go with the United Fruit
c. as an investigator of horticultural
problems. Most of Mr.. Poponoe'S work
has been in the Latin American field,
and many new semi-tropical plants
and fruits have been introduced into
this country as a result of his travels.
Through the agricultural contracts
built up and through the cooperation
which will be maintained with the De-
partment of Agriculture he believes
that he will be able to continue his
usefulness to the United States as well
as to aid the southern republics in the
of their fruit growing.
In recognition of his services to
agriculture in Ecuador the govern
ment of that country has just con
ferred on Mr.. Poponoe the Order of
Merit, first class. During year spent
in that country he became convinced
of its agricultural possibilities, he
said today, and since his return to the
United. States he has done what he
could to supply them with new crops
which he thought might be grown
profitably there. and through the
Smithsonian Institution has published
a monogram on the plants of Ecuador.
