PHI July 30.-Micbael
FRANCIS Doyle, Philadelphia LAWYER
To-Day went on the bond Of the United
states Senate in Federal court. The
court yesterday issued an order re-
stnining the destruction of ballots
cast in Delaware County, Pa, in the
last senatorial election. The ordaA
was made at the request of Jerry q
south, special counsel for the Reed
Senate investigating committee, which
desires to inquire into the election
contest brought by William B. Wilson,
democrat, against William S. Ware
Republican, who holds the certificate
OF election as United Safes Senator.
The bond covers the costs in tho
case, which has been appealed to the
United States Circuit Court of An
peaIS, and is to guarantee the bond
mr.. south himself put up for the costs,
While Mr. Doyle's bond Is not actually
the bond of the Reed committee itself
IL IS IN sense the Senate's obliga
tion, as Mr.. South is acting for it.
Il consider this quite a comnli.
ment," Mr.. Doyle observed as he
signed the bond. "as it Is the first time
the United States Senate has been re-
CURED to give a bond for anything"

1t was said, however, that at this
Juncture it seemed extremely unlike
ly Mr.. Gibson would speak unless his
words had first received the approval
of Mr.. Coolidge. That any address
at all was contemplated was declared
not to have been determined, but it
appeared assured that if any remarks
should be made they would be in a
most careful effort toward concila-
ton and good will.
The President was understood to
have instructed the American dele
cation some time ago not to recede
from the position which the Wash
lngton Government first laid down.
Position Based on Reductions.
The desire of Mr.. Coolidge that if
proposition that naval armament
should be further restricted and any
compromise which would materially
destroy that position, which the pro-
posal of Great Britain is held by the
President to do, would be untenable
to this Government.
The desire of Mr.. Coolidge that if
the conference must end without an
agreement it should be terminated
without disturbing the good relations
between the United States, Great
Britain and Japan, is based, it was
pointed out, on his secondary reason
for calling the meeting, that of de-
veloping still sounder understanding
and a more practical assurance of
peace between the participants
Whatever the outcome Of the naval
armament proposals, MIR. Coolidge
was represented as being particularly
eager that there be no. misconstruc-
ton of sentiments should the con-
ference break up.
Although the President did not
come to the executive Offices today,
his private telegraph wire between
Rapid City and the Summer White
House was manned continually. He
left instructions that he be informed
Immediately, no matter If he were
fishing, sleeping or resting, Of any
communication regarding Geneva de-
VelopmentS.

WHEELER ASSA|LS .
RICHIE FOR STAND
Declares Governor Repu-
dates Obligation to Uphold
Federal Constitution.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHELBY. Mich, July 30.-Wayne
r. Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon
League, replying today to the re-
fuSal of Gov. Albert c.. Richie of
Maryland to a debate on the prohibit
ton question at the University of
Michigan, said that his position as a
special pleader" for the prohibition
cause was more tenable than that of
governor of a State regulating his
obligations to the Federal Constitu-
ton.
Gov. Richie repudiates the obli-
cations placed on him as governor
by the Federal Constitution to help
uphold and enforce the eighteenth
amendment in his State,'" Wheeler
said. 'T1e opposes the State enforce
ment code and is against the ma
tional enforcement act. Without en-
forcement laws the Constitution would
be nullified.
IF Gov. Richie does not want to
defend his record and his theories In
a public debate, since he is a candi-
date for President, let him tell the
people how the Constitution can be
enforced in Maryland under his plan.
Il may be special pleader for
the prohibition cause, as Gov. Richie
charges, but that position is more
tenable than to be governor of a
State and repudiate obligations to
the Federal Constitution.
Gov. Richie admits that there are
several reasons which might prevent
his debating with me at Ann Arbor,
and then gives one reason only, his
personal dislike of me and my meth
DDS. The people are not interested
hat faI; l. i'll.
or of what l think of him.
Let him tell the people If he favors
State or local officers enforcing the
provisions Of the national prohibition
act in Maryland which are enforce
able by such officers--especially since
it is their duty to do so. Does the
governor think that any State has
the right to ignore any provision of
the Federal Constitution or that its
obligations can be avoided except by
repeal by constitutional methodist"
