CONGRESS- ID BE
 SCENE OF BATTLE
Vets and Drys Line Up Forces
 for Fight

Washington, Sept. cs Pl-Wets and drys are lining up their forces ! for a resumption Of their annual warfare in congress
 Neither side made any material progress in the way Of legislation at the last session, but the drys are hopeful of getting through some Of the administration proposals in the old Golf bill for tightening up the Nolstead act
 Conceding that the drys have a preponderance of the votes fin both the house and senate, the vets say there is no parliamentary method i by which they can delay a decision as the first session Of the new con- gress will continue for five or six months. probably until just before the republican national convention next June.
 However, proponents Of addition al dry legislation incline 10 the view TOW that with a presidential cam paign in the offing the party lead
 
 favor on enactment of more strin- gent provisions to a law which the vets now charge is impossible Of enforcement.
 While the prohibition issue Is non partisan one SO far as the congress itself is concerned. it is in national politics, more so at present than perhaps ever before. and party lead CTS see little prospect of if being re moved in advance Of the 192S presi- dential election unless it should be that both of the major parties nom- mated candidates pronouncedly dry.
 Just what provisions of the Golf act will be selected by the drys es their battle points in the new con- eross remains to be determined, but during the last session emphasis was placed upon those proposals for re- vocation of liquor permits, for search Of dwellings suspected to having been converted into conner cial distilling places and for stricter regulation of breweries.
 At any hearings held. the Anti Saloon League will be represented by F. Scott Mcbride, new legislative superintendent Of the Anti Saloon League, selected temporarily, at least, 10 carry on the work which the late Wayne B. Wheeler looked after for many years both in com mittee and the hall of congress.
 The vets will press a proposal removing the restriction on the amount Of spirits a physician may prescribe for patients. This measure Is in line with one endorsed by the Medical Association.
 Whether the vets will press for a national referendum on the ques- tions Of repeating the eighteenth and modifying the Vol stead act has not yet been deter mined. But neither these nor any of the other wet proposals have any chance Of getting anywhere In the next congress, which is overH helm ingly dry.

 Opens in Texas

Georgetown, Texas. Sept. 2S LP,-
 Arraigned on charge of arson 1T i the court house where she secretly married a claSsmate from the Uni. yersity of Texas two years ago, Re. ! bccca Bradley Rogers, also accuscd of bank robbery, today summoned more of her friends in the hope oi

 Of deserted house in Round Rock, Texas, December last'
 The state attempted to prove that she set fire to the house to attract employees of the bank at Round
 Rock so that she could rob it.
 c. R. Lundleius, Round Rock banker, Identified Mrs. Rogers as the woman who interviewed him on business conditions on two success sive days before the fire.

 ' charge, Mrs. Rogers gave up her position as a stcnographer in inc, office of Governor Dan Moody and otis Rogers, young attorney, who was seriously ill, risked his chance of recovery to come to her assist ance and 10 announce their mar riage.
 Rogers. who announced himself as assistant counsel for his wife. se- cured numerous postponements of the arson and robbery trials due to lis illness.
 Faced with state testimony that girl identified as his wife purchased kerosene and matches shortly be- fore the fire at Round Rock, Rogers vest erday called Dr. K. P. Barton. former pastor of the Texas univer- sity church. who testified Mrs. Rog ITS had been a faithful member Of his church.
 Mrs. Grace Bradley, mother Of the defendant and state employe then testified that her daughter was in Austin the day of the Round Rock fire. The defense announced at least one more witness would be called .oday to support this testimony.

On that memorable voyage he encountered what is set down in the old Morse Sagas Vineand believed to be America.

 der one of the important services for which Congress had intended it.
 "A few hours before President Har- ding sailed from Seward for Seattle he decided to check up on these rep resentations, unknown to the three ap- pointees of Fall and Denby. On his own initiative, and acting through the intermediary of a newspaper core spondent with the Presidential party and through one of the members of his official family, President Harding sent for and read a verified report of the naval coal commission of 1921, which I had in my possession. That report showed that the naval coal commis- sion had tested 5000 tons of coal from the naval coal reserve in the Matanus- ka field side by side with the 5000 tons of Pocahontas coal from West Virginia, in both boiler and labora- tory, and had pronounced it 15 per cent higher in every point of com parison than the Pocahontas coal. The Navy Coal Commission also stated in it's report that this coal from the naval reserve in the Matanuska district was suitable in every particu- lar for naval use, that there was 600,- GOO tons blocked out for immediate mining, that there was 2,000,000 tons in sight, and probably a total of 30,- 000,000 tons in the naval reserve.
 FalI-Denby Agreement
 At the time President Harding re- ceived and read a photographic copy of a private memorandum agreement between Secretary of the Interior Fall and Secretary of the Navy Denby, by which they bound themselves to trans fer the naval coal operations in the Matanuska field from Denby to Fall, together with other papers, which proved that Fall and Denby were then attempting to dispose of the naval coal reserve in the Matanuska district pre- cisely as they did with the naval oil reserve in the Teapot Dome district of Wyoming.

Well, to make a long story short, when President Harding delivered his memorable speech ip Seattle after his return from Alaska, only two of his of ficial family knew these secrets, or knew what kind of a speech he was going to make. In that speech he sur prised the political world by announc- ing a complete and radical reversal of his former views and attitude on Alas kan policies and problems. He came out frankly in favor of the conserva- tion laws, and against all the meas ures and policies for Alaska which Secretaries Fall, Denby and Weeks and their Alaskan appointees had been urging.
 And now for the climax If all those officials, including Fall and Den- by and Weeks and Bone, who took particular pains to keep from Presi- uCAL 1Ad1uluS S'Sly Uouy uOL Ill tAC circle of their conspiracies, myself as we'll as others, were to be told that had been officially and privately and confidentially requested to submit written outline of the kind of speech thought the President ought to de- liver on his return to Seattle, they might be incredulous. If they were told further that President Harding followed the outlines of the speech thus requested and submitted, in its entirety, their incredulity might be modified with their knowledge of the facts as they actually occurred"
 (Mr. Ballaine has the original of an official letter making the request he refers to, which he showed the editor of The Gateway)
 "All this has a direct bearing on Alaska and the Alaska Railroad" Mr. Ballaine continued" Taken with other circumstances, it furnishes pretty good proof that the government-owned Alaska Railroad can be placed on a profitable and highly useful basis whenever the responsible officials choose to initiate policies that will make it profitable and useful"

the President and other high officials. which aimed to discredit anybody and everybody not in the inner circles of Fall and Denby and their Alaska ap- pointees.
 For example" he said, II learned while President Harding was in Sew ard that one of Bones appointees had told him that I had acquired the orig inal townsite of Seward with Alaska Central money. The story included recital to the President of an affi- davit by John Dowdle, in which Dow dle charged that I had taken S5,0OO of Alaska Central bonds from him by deception. President Harding was further told that in 1921 went along the route Of the Alaska Railroad from Seward to Fairbanks under an as sumed name and used railroad meal tickets i'll that disguise, in a country where l am known to every man and woman in every mile of the way. The ylciousness and falsity of those state ments were quickly proven to the President from official documents, in- cluding the judgment I recovered in the United States District court of this district against the Canadians who fraudulently tried to get the townsite from me by alleging these false charg- es, and also by the judgment for S3O.- 300 which I recovered against them in in the United States District court at Seattle before Judge Cushman for bringing suit on false and malicious statements. The Canadians settled with my attorneys for that judgment, too, ill payments made through the Seattle branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
 Why Harding Turned
 "Of course when President Harding Aocei Inc ColupleIo story, or SLOf1eS, and realized how trusted officials un- der him had lied to him from beginning to end, he turned against them and 'all that they represented. That is the explanation of his change of at titude in his Seattle speech.
 T mention the personal phases of these matters only because they are necessary, with others, to give clear understanding of the extremes that the partisans of the Fall-Denby crowd Jared to go.
 T encountered again and again pre- cisely such conditions of wilful but se- cret falsehood in all my long efforts to get the Alaska Railroad act through Congress, in getting the route chosen from Seward thorugh the Susitna val ley, and in my efforts to have the rail- road honestly managed to serve the purposes for which Congress intend ed it.
 Fortunately, most of the officials who tried their best to wreck and dis credit the Alaska Railroad have grad ually been exposed and eliminated, and the railroad is slowly but surely Imaking progress to better condi-
