BUSINESS FROM
HARDING PARTY
SWAMP SYSTEM
Cable Suspends Nightletter
Business—Navy Radio
to Handle Them.
As (i result of the mass of busi
ness poured on to the cable system
by newspaper correspondents and
others of the. Presidential party, or ,
ders have been issued from Seattle j
headquarters of the system suspend
ing night letter service until the j
party returns to the States, accord
tng to an announcement made today
by Sergt. Frawley, operator In charge
of the local cahle office. Press dis
patches and other business which j
takeR precedent over night letter
traffic have swamped the cable;
which is being operated at full ca
pacity to take care of them.
To relieve the situation and cover
the cable deficiency, Operator in
Charge Forrest, of the local Navy
radio station, announced today that j
the Navy will handle night letters
both for the States and other Alas I
kan points. "We are not open con '
tlnuously, however, but will accept
filings at the following hours: !*
a. tn. until noon, 1:30 p. m. tec
2:30 p. m.; 4:40 p. m. to 5:30 p. m. j
and 7:30 p. m. to 11 p. m," said!
Mr. Forrest.
The volume of business now be
ing sent out by members of the
Presidential party Is indicated by the
fart that the sending machines used
at both Seattle and Sitka, between
which congestion occurs, have a rate
of 26 words per minute, or in one
hour's time transmit 1,250 words.
These offices are working continu
ously but are not able to do more |
than handle the day messages, of
ficial, commercial and press since
the Presidential ship came Into Al
askan waters. The biggest part of
the business is composed of press
dispatches sent out to the press
associations and big daily newspapers
throughout the country.
PRESIDENT IS
TO STAY RIGHT
ON HENDERSON
Will Make i rip to Atlantic
on Transport—Alaska
Plans Are Up in Air.
ON ROARD I'. S. S. HENDERSON
WITH PRESIDENT HARDING, July
12. — President Harding will make
the trip Trom San Diego, Caallfornia,
to New York via the Panama Can
al and Porto Rico on the marine
transport Henderson Instead of nil
the Shipping Board steamers Presi
dent Harrison and American Legion,
Definite arrangements for the use
of the Henderson were concluded to
day and the announcement made.
The schedule for the return trip pro
vldes for the arrival of the Presi
dential party at New York August
27, and it is considered likely that
President Harding will make an ad
dress there before proceeding to
Washington.
The Henderson today continues on
her course across the Gulf of Alas
ka, enroute to Seward where It is
due to arrive about two o'clock to
morrow afternoon. After a short
stay there the 4>arty will go aboard
a special train on tho Government
Railroad and start to Anchorage and
Fairbanks. The Chief Executive to
day was still undecided whether to
make the three-day trip from Fair
banks to Chltina over the Richard
son Highway and thou down the
Copper River & Northwestern Rail
road to Cordova, or return over the
Government Railroad to Seward and
thence on the Henderson to Cor
dova.
The rough weather expected in the
Gulf of Alaska did not put in its
appearance and the entire day's sail
ing is over comparatively smooth
sea.
ALASKA DOES NOT
GO TO ANCHORAGE
Fearing that damage might result
to her twin screws in ease she
toadied the mud bottom at Author
age when the tide is out, the sail
ing of the big steamer Alaska to An
chorage have been »ancelted until
further notice according to advlt es
received here.
Officials of the company state
that the vessel is :ifi feet longer than
the Alameda and that it would be
easy to spring a shaft in case the
propellers rested on the bottom.
The Alameda will continue to make
Anchorage a port of call, but the
Alaska, like the Northwestern, goes
Westward only as far as Seward.

RESERVE SYSTEM
IS ATTACKED BY
WESTERN EDITOR
Editor Denver Post Declares
“Federal Landlordism”
Should Be Abolished.
"Federal landlordism should be
banished from America and never
permitted o return," said F. G. Bon
fils, one of the editors and publish
ers of the Denver Post, who is a
member of the Presidential party.
"It is impracticable, destructive of
self-government and initiative, and
injurious to the country,” he con
tinued.
[ "It is nonsense to talk of the
I preservation, Intact, of natural re
sourc.es for future generations. The
greatest asset those of this genera
tion got from their ancestors was
by no means the undeveloped re
lources. it was the energy, the daring
to do. the ability to Initiate and
carry on the war for economic ef
ficiency and prosperity anti social
anti political advancement, and the
products of their labor and ener
getically directed lives. Landlordism
and paternalism kill this individual
ism and leave stagnation In their
wake."
Mr. Bonfils declares that the peo
ple of the West, the public lands
states, should unite in warfare
against a system that has reserved
from use by the people and placed
under alien control a large percent
age of the land areas with their
catural resources. In some State*,
he said, half of the lands within
their boundaries, or nearly so, have
been reserved from the people, placed
In cold storage and their use pro
hibited. if not by law and regula
tions, then by the economic condi
tion artificially created which are
■von more paralyzing to initiative and
levelopment.

KISS PURVEYOR
OF DEATH; LIPS
TRANSFER DOPE
Narcotic Drug Is Smuggled to
Prisoner in Unique Way
—He Is Dead.
PHILADELPHIA, Penn . July 12.
-—.Nathan Kessler, who was to have
been sentenced for the theft of
jewels valued at $5,000 ended his
life In his cell in Moyamensing
Prison.
Kesrler died from an overdose of a
narcotic drug, smuggled to him by a
fashionably attired woman who now
is being sought by the police. It Is
believed the drug was wrapped in a
cigarette paper and transferred from
the woman's lips to those of the
convicted bandit as she kissed him
farewell.
As she left the prison gate after
kissing Kessler, tears were stream
ing over her cheeks and Kessler re
turned to his cell, pallid and shaken.
Kessler wrns found unconscious in
his cell and died after the prison
phyelcian had tried to induce res
piration.

having abducted and robbed Miss
Mabel Hills In a taxicab last April,
was arrestod with Thomas Alexand
er. The men were captured after a
lively chase, during which suspects
and detectives engaged in a running
rvolvcr battle.
The murder of James ("Two
Gun") Harrington, ganster, on May
17, was linked directly with the kid
napping and robbery of Miss Mills
and the arrest of Kessler and Alex
ander.
A memorandum found in the slain
gangBter's pocket, showed that he
had been soliciting funds to retain
counsel for the men and, according
to police, had aroused the ire of the
gambling fraternity by demanding
that they contriMf generously.
