was the wish of the Bath people to
make the Post Office site one of the
real attractive scenes of the city. The
Custom House building itself is one

city boasts and many consider it a
shame to throw the highway ap-

so that any future labor troubles in
the mine fields will not leave the pub
lie without fuel.
The house commerce committee
now taking testimony on various
phases of the coal industry, would DO
well, Mr.. Coolidge believes. to frame
it's legislation around recommend l.
lions submitted by the presidential
coal commission after its investiga-
ton of the industry only a few years
ago. Two definite provisions for
handling the coal-labor problem
stand out in the presidents mind as
essential to any effective legislation:
Presidential authority to appoint a
strike medium board and machinery
for coal administration in event Of a
strike.
Before it attempts to draft a bill,
the house committee should, in the
opinion of Mr.. Coolidge, call all in :.
terested parties, including miners,
operators and members of the cabi-
net who would be concerned with any
labor disputes in the coal fields.
Representative Jacobstein, Demo-
crat, New York, urged the house
committee today to enact legislation
to unity the coal industry under gov
eminent control, adding that the in
dustry itself would consolidate its
activities if the government would
permit it.

Over Senate Ruling

Washington, April 2-(AP)-Vice
President Dawes ruling that under
the present senate rules senator
cannot tell his constituents how he
voted in executive session drew fire
today in the senate
Senator Overman, Democrat,
North Carolin;, one of the patriarchs
of the senate, jumped to his feet and
challenged the ruling, declaring it
had always been a custom of the
senate to permit a senator to tell
how he voted in an executive session.
He added that he already had told
how he voted in the recent confirma-
ton of Thomas H. Woodlock as a
member of the interstate commerce
commission and he detied the senate
to punish him under the rules.
He was supported by Senator
Glass, Democrat Virginia. who
thought the ruling could be nullified
by senator saying in advance how
he would vote. He explain ed that he
had done that in the Woodlock Incl
dent The vice president refused to
change his decision, however, and
Senator Pittman, Democrat, Nevada,
who had started the controversy by
Offering a resolution to amend the

the vice presidents ruling was COR
rect and serviced to show the "er-
rors" of the present rules.
He served notice that he would
force the senate to vote on this reso-
luton and another providing for con-
sideration of nominations in open
session. He declared the secrecy
surrounding the Woodlock vote had
challenged the dignity of the senate,
which was being assailed in the
press as being "cowardly and at
tempting to conceal something from
the people,"

Delay of Ten Years

Boston, Apr. 2.-(AP)-Miss Kath-
crime O'Connor of Springfield was
officially admitted to the United
States today ten years after she
landed in this country, under a writ
of habeas corpus issued by Federal
Judge f. H. Brewster.
Soon after her arrival in this coun-
try Miss O'Connor was taken to the

grounds that she was suffering from
mental disease. In 1917 she was
ordered deported to Ireland, but war
conditions prevented execution of
the order. Again in 1923 the young
woman was ordered exported. Pro-
ceedings were halted then when her
employer, William Hay of Spring
field applied for a writ of habeas
corpus to save tn girl.
The case has been heard several
times in the past three years, her
mental condition being the chief
question under consideration. On
order of Judge Brewster. DR.. Philip

girl and found her sane.
