At a cabinet meeting yesterday,

iiis official family talked over the
railroad problems, especial!/ with
reference to industry and agricul

Ottawa. May !).—Early this morn
ing the house of commons, voting
cloture rules, sustained the .Meighon
government in its shipbuilding pro
gram and granted the administra
tion an interim supply vote for car
rying on public expenditures for the
first part of tiie present fiscal year.
The vote stood 103 to 79 for the
government. The division in the
house brought to a close one of tho
bitterest lights in the Canadian par
liament since 1S91 when the opposi
tion. obstructing the plan of Sir Uob
i-rt P.orden to gi>e financial aid to
■he British navy, kept the house in
i-ontinous session for two weeks.
The present battle began on Mou

the night and all day Tuesday, with

State Should
Supervise Sports
Bill to bo Introduced in New York
State Legislature; Amateur Sports
to be Included in Plun.
Rack iu New York State. Governor
iMiller believes that all sports should
bo under the supervision of the state.
Plans are now under way for the in
troduction of a commission to super
vise all sports from boxing to track
and field. The amateur sports are in
cluded as well as the professional
branches of sport.
Amateur sport is not a money mak
'nK project, nor is it promoted by
professional promoters. There is not
an amateur sport in this country that
could make it worth while for any
professional promoter to handle it,
and if such was the case such sports
would quickly lose their strictly am
ateur hue. The New York governor
however believes that all sports
should pay a tax to the state
government on its gate receipts, and
if this is done with amateur sports
it will do more to kill the various
amateur games, etc. than anything
else. Some amateur sports in soma
specially favored sections at times
draw big crowds, but this is the ex
ception and the money taken at the
gates either goes to the club treasury
or to the A. A. U. of the United
States for the furthering of amateur
competition.
If amateur sports were taxed there
would be many instances where the
gate receipts less the tax would not
lie sufficient to pay the legitimate ex
penses. and such a tax would in real
ity be a slap at the state and country J
at large. The amateur goes in for
this sport for the fun he gets there
from. and the natural healthy exer
cise to be derived. The cost of all
athletic sports at this time is "top
heavy" owing to the unjust tax on
sporting goods Imposed by the feder
al government. There is a nation
wide movement just now to have this
tax taken off, and if New York on
the face of that decides to add state
taxes on gate receipts in New York
clubs and amateur governing organi
zations will be forced to call ofT
many events that are an annual flx
ture.
Governor .Miner ueneves wiai pm
ting sports under commissions will
lift the standard of sports, but in
this he is not generally supported by
those amateur officials who by years
of experience know what is and what
is not good for sport in so far as the
amateur standards are concerned.
The Governor intends to name non
salaried commissions, and he believes
that this means the commissions will
be kept out of politics atid sports
receive proper support. Amateur
officials are unpaid and like the
athletics act purely for their love
of,running off events, and other de
tails always falls on a few hard
workers who can find the necessary
time to give to this work. If
amateur sports are put under a com
mission in New York the said com
missioners will be hard to find. They
will have to be men of experience
in amateur sport with all their time
their own and practically speak ins
these amateur commissioners will
have to be men of considerable
private means.
True, there is room for improve
ment along certain lines in the wo.-k
of the A. A. U. of the U. S. in its
government of amateur sports, but
the State Commissions would not get
half the results that he \. A. U.
branches do at present, .tt.J the bur
den cf a State tax on ama'c ir ewi.ts
would help kill, or at leist deieiior
atn amateur events in general.—l'a

KENDALL'S RECORD CLEARED
Washington, Bay 9.—Spry the
Commissioner General of the land of
fice'has informed Edward Kendall,
that the charges filed against him
in connection with his candidacy for
appointment as attorney general of
Alaska, has been investigated and
dismissed. The charges he declares
were not substantiated by his accus
ers.
VMTED STATED ON TAR
WITH RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
■Washington, May 9.—When J. L.
McPherson. appeared before the
House committee on territories he
made the charge that for half a cen
tury the United States has been per
petrating upon the American citi
zens living in Alaska, a form of gov
ernment only slightly better than
that which prevailed when the ter
ritory was in the possession of the
Russians. v
Harding Real
Party Leader
Xot a Driver, as President Wiisou
Attempted to lie, and New Pres
ident Always Open to Reason.
Washington.—President Harding,
as was expected by those who
knew him before he entered the
White House, is a real leader of his
party and of congress. He is a leader
and not a driver, as Mr. Wilson at
tempted to be .The president is al
ways open to reason on any proposi
tion. and is always willing to listen
to advice from persons he trusts,
though he always decides every im
portant matter for himself. He
listens to arguments, weighs the
evidence in any given case, and then
makes up his mind and acts. Mr.
Harding's type of mind and mental
attitude is quite different from that
possessed by Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wil
son always believed he know it all,
on any subject under the sun, and
was impatient of the opinions of
others where these opinions did not
coincide with his own. One had to
have a mind "that went along with
the president's mind" in all matters,
both great and small, in the Wilson
regime. The person whoso mind did
"not go along with the president"
soon tound that the president had no
further use for the independent view
point, and if that person was con
nected with the government the "in
dependent mind" soon found itself
out of a job. This applied from
humble but sometimes arrogant bu
reau chiefs up to cabinet officers. It
was the principal stumbling block in
the way of Mr. Wilson's success as
a president.
in tne \\ insun ic^un- u
like Lodge, or Iieed, or Johnson, or
Borah would never have called volun
tarily at the White House when the
president was in good health and re
ceived callers daily. Senators never
went unless summoned and when
they entered the sacred portals of
the president's study it was not to
give advice but to receive commands.
All this is now changed at the
White House. House and senate lead
ers flock to the executive mansion
daily, and senators in particular are
never kept cooling their heels for
hours in the reception room. Tliev
are shown into .Mr. Harding's study
almost immediately and stay as long
as they desire. They do not enter
that study, either, to receive com
mands regarding legislation, but to
hold real conferences with the presi
dent and to give and exchange
views on important matters concern
ing the government and congress.
Consequently there is a totally dif
ferent atmosphere existing in the
hig white mansion on historic Penn
sylvania avenue which is the center
of the government of the I'nited Stat
es. All are welcome there, and the
humblest citizen can present his
claims for office or leave a peti
tion for the chief magistrate with
almost as much dispatch as a cabinet
officer.
By this policy of openness and
frankness Mr. Harding is winning all
hearts, and as stated at the begin
ning of this article is universally re
garded by all who have come in per
sonal contact with him as a real
leader of the people. Warren 0.
Harding has already made good in
the presidency and the Washington
observers are a unit in declaring that
the cordial relations between the
people and the president will con
tinue during Mr. Harding's term, or
in all probability, two terms.
Every president from Washington
to Wilson has had a "best friend."
The Harding administration is no ex
ception. President Wilson had his
Colonel House, the furtive little
Tenan, who had more influence with
Mr. Wilson than any other human
being, with the single exception of
Mrs. Wilson.
Mr. Harding also has an "alter
ego". It is Harry Daugherty. no\^
attorney general, and Mr. Harding's
lifelong friend and political manager.
Mr. Daugherty is the real "power be
hind the throne." If anyone wants
anything, in Washington, and can
not make any progress in getting it
he is advised to "see Daugherty." In
nearly every instance the genial at
torney general will be able to smooth
out the kinks in the problem and
send the visitor away satisfied. It is
a wonder to many how Daugherty
finds time to attend to so many af
fairs of the administration and also
hold down the department of justice
But the Ohioan does do it and is even
now engaged in reorganizing the de
partmnt of justice, witli a view to
a more economical, expeditious and
efficient administration of that de
partment. Mr. Daugherty is recog
nized by the Washington correspond
ents and by all who come In con
tact with him as a "live wire."

Helena, May.—Frank La my,
55. one of the picturesque prospec

in a big legacy awaiting him instead.
All he has to do to collect between
$30,000 and $40,000 is to go to Men

ance with old friends and relatives,
prove his birthright and await the
decree of the court
For years lie was given up as lost

left Frank the greater share of the

paper advertising. Within 24 hours
after the first advertisment and a
news story in con'unctio" appeared
in Helena newspapers Lamy was

umbia and for the cession by that
country to the United States of the
Providence of St. Andrews islands
in the Caribbean sea was offered to
day by Senator Ransdell, Democratic
Louisiana.
Senator Shortridge, the new Re
publican member from California,
urged ratifiication of the treaty, say
ing it would "reflect no dishonor on
the dead; cast no discredit on the
living."
"Above all," he said "it will end
debate, crimination and recrimina
tion; it will silence hostile criticism,
just or unjust; it will frustrate the
designs of powers whose commercial
interests are inimical to ours,. It
will contribute mightily towards
strengthening the bonds which unite
us and all American republics in a

said.
