RESIGNATION ASKED
OF GOV. FERGUSON
Moody Joins in Demand Upon
Her to act Immediately
on Promise.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex, July 2s.-Gov, Mir
lam A. Ferguson's defeat in Satur-
days primary and her announcement
that she will retire from Office this
Fall has resulted in demands from
her Democratic opponents that she
resign Immediately, in conformity to
her promise made during the recent
campaign.
Attorney General Dan Moody, who
defeated Gov. Ferguson by more than
10000 votes, yesterday charged she
was not living up her promise to re-
sign at once If he led her by | vote.
Moody declared, however, that he
was powerless to force the governor
to retire.
1T is for the people to determine
how and when their demand ex-
pressed at the ballot box shall be
complied WITH" he said.
Gov. Ferguson, in a proclama lion
calling d special session OF the Legis-
lature for September IS, said she
would not resign until matters before
this session had been disposed OF. She
called the session in the hope of vail
dating Texas road bonds and to per-
nit the legislators to investigate any
matters they may desire" She said
she hoped to retire November l.
Lee Satterwhite, speaker of the
House of Representative, has an
nounced he will attempt to have the
Legislature convene August IL. Dele
gates to Democratic county conven-
tions, scheduled for Saturday, are
drafting resolutions asking the imme-
date resignation of the governor
Satterwhite said
Although Moody lacks several hun
dred votes of having a majority over
his four opponents, election experts
say Gov. Ferguson's withdrawal will
automatically give Moody the nomi-
nation and eliminate the necessity for
a run-off primary.

.8,O)O-TON VESSEL
REACHES CAPITAL.
Chateau Thierry Among
Largest Craft Ever to Ne
gotiate Potomac.

Drawing % feet of water and at
| times with her keel only few feet
| from the bottom of the Potomac the
| S,000-ton L. S, A. transport Chateau
| Thierry mincingly felt her way mp
| the river this morning and swung
without mishap into dack at the navy
! yard wharf, the largest ship ever to
| he brought there by Capt. William Il.
| Luckett, veteran Government pilot.
Capt Luckett smiled thankfully as
| the ship nosed into dock. as he be-
| lieves the Chateau Thierry Is among
| the largest ships ever TO negotiate the
! Potomac to the navy yard.
Brings Guns to Museum.
The Chateau Thierry brought 90
German guns and field pieces to
Washington for the Smithsonian In
| stitution, which were being unloaded
from the lower decks this afternoon.
The guns We're slowed atop some $50
tons of pig iron consigned to the navy
yard.
Capt. Luckett praised the ship high
~. She's fine ship" he said, sen
sitive and sensible. We had no
trouble at all during the entire trip,
1t was pleasure to pilot her.
Original plans called for the Cha
teau Thierry unloading the pig iron
first at the navy yard and then going
tomorrow to the Washington Bar
racks dock to unload the choice col
lection of German howitzers, mime
werfers and field pieces taken during
battles on the other side by American
forces. But the pig iron consigned
to the navy yard had been slowed
below the guns. and accordingly they
had to be moved first in order TO get
the navy yard consignment out.
Lieut.. H. l.. Calvin of the Quarter
master Corps, in charge OF the cargo,
decided that il would he best to unload
the guns at the navy yard and have
them moved from there TO the Wash
ington Barracks through the lower
part of the city, rather than to have
the task confronting him of reload
ing the ship with the guns, only to
proceed to the Washington Barracks
dock for another unloading.
Cranes Put to Work.
Accordingly the giant cranes began
reaching their long fingers In the
deep hatchwayS of the Chateau
Thierry early this afternoon. picking
up tons and tons OF cannon, and lay
ing them gingerly down on the side
of the dock.
Historical data regarding the can
non Is meager. AT the end Of the
war, the guns were taken from all
parts of the war zone directly into
Antwerp, and many cases were ship
ped out on American vessels con-
signed to ANY Ordnance once at
Any United States Port" In the con-
fusion following the end Of the war,
therefore. the history of individual
guns was lost, and those which are
coming to Washington will not be
identified Immediately as having par
ticipated in any distinct engagements.
The makers name and place where
they were made is about all the in
formation which followed the guns.
Research. however. may develop other
facts as to the lives of the pieces.
One of the most interesting of the
exhibits is a German torpedo picked
up, 1t is believed, after missing a
ship in the North Sea, and an effort
Is to be made 20 obtain details sur
rounding its seizure.

American troops from Haiti doomed
in the Senate today with Senator
King 3D. of Utah prepared to
snonsor resolution calling for an
investigation of the American &C.
cupation of the island republic.
the row was provoked during
debate on the Army appropriation
hin. when Senator Wadsworth R.)

placing In the Congressional Record
a statement from Percival ThOby,
former charge d'affaires of Haiti
to the United States. The state.
ment set forth that American &C
cupation OF the island had pre-
vented elections, denied the people

in q 'sbayonet dictatorship, In.
crease social evils and drove thou.
sands OF citizens from their homes.
The Senate fought for two hours
pyer 8 decision by Senator Bingham

siding. which held the statement out
az order because 1t was signed by
a foreigner. When q score Of Sena-
tors rushed to Kings support and
attacked the ruling. WadswOrth

During the debate. Senator Borah
served notice on the Senate that
the question of American occupas
ton OF Haiti would shortly be sub

tested against Binghan's ruling
on the ground that the subject
could not be- accurately presented
to the Senate unless the statements

bate.
