SIGHTS, SAYS PRESIDENT,
Party to Spend Sunday in
Sitka Before Bidding j
Farewell to Alaska.
CORDOVA, ALASKA, July 21 —
(By Associated Press) — Yesterday
standing beside the Copper River,
President Harding saw one of the
grandest sights of Alaska. Away
one-quarter of a mile on the further
shore towered the massive ice-cliffs
of Childs Glacier, resplendent in
their whiteness and delicate tints
of blue and emerald.
, More impressive than the glac
ier’s colors, however, were the mani-!
testations of its activity and mys- j
terlous power. As huge portions of
it, some weighing hundreds of tons,
broke away with a roar like thun
der and plunged Into the river,
soon to be dissolved into water again
after hundreds of years in a frozen
state.
Excels All Others
Childs Glacier is one of the larg
est live glaciers In Alaska, and, for
that matter, one of the largest in
the world and although the party's
members during their Alaskan trip
have seen scores of glaciers, the
one seen today excelled all others.

WASHINGTON, July 21—Included
tn the cargo of the schooner Bow
doln, in which Dr. Donald MacMil
lan recently left on another expedi
tion into northern ice fields, was
a bronze tablet, which will com-!
memorate the memory of American

erly monuments in the world.
The tablet, to be placed on Cape
Sabine, SUesmere Island, more than
800 miles within the Arctic Circle
in latitude 78 degrees, 45 minutes
north, will mark the scene of one
of the most tragic passages in the
history of American Arctic explora
tion. It will be in honor of 16
officers and men of the United States
Army, members of the Greeley expe
dition of 1881, who gave their lives
in the interest of science.
The tablet was presented by the
National Geographic Society. On it
Is inscribed: “To the memory pf
I
:he dead, who, under Lieutenant
W. Greeley, here gave their lives
:o ensure the final and complete
iliccess of the first scientific coop
sration of the United States with
)ther nations. 1R81-1884.”
The spot chosen for its erection
s 300 miles south of the most north,
nrly point reached by the expedi

;o which Greeley was able to lead
lis men after two relief expeditions

of the Republican Senatorial Com
mittee.
Senator Mores asserted one of the
dominating influences behind the
move to nominate a Presidential

impulse, lies in the City Hall here'

it, with a heavy guard on duty.
Party Is Ambushed
Villa met death yesterday ou the
outskirts of Parral, near the Guan-1
ajuato bridgo. Trillo and Rosario;
Morales, one body guard and one
bystander, were killed and one of1 »
Villa's guards were wounded, when
attackers, numbering seven bandits, i I
an unlucky number, made their as- |
sault.
General Martinez, commanding a I
detachment of 100 Federal soldiers |
captured three of the bandit at- j
lackers late yesterday and the sol-1 |
diers now hold them under guard.
Two Theories Advanced *
Two theories are advanced con
cerning Vllla'H death. One Is that
a deserter from Villa's guard com-, |
mitted the killing. The other Is that |
the deed was that of revenge. ’
Villa had no enemy so bitter as |
Francisco Huerrera. Villa is said to
have practically exterminated the
Herrera family, prominent in Mex
ico City. t ^
Malclovlo Herrera, general of the
left wing of Villa's 1904 army was ,
nysteriously executed. Melcher, an- ^
ither general and brother of Jose de (
a Luz Herrera, his father and a
tounger Herrera, were executed on
Saster morning in 1915 when they 1
vere led to the Parra I graveyard. I 1
Francisco Herrera is the only sur
rivor of the family left. He Is a

WITH PRESIDENT HARDING. July
21,— (By Associated Press)—Presi
icnt Harding, it can be declared
jcsitively, has no intentions of call
ing Congress in session in advance
:f the regular December meeting of
that body. While the Nation's Chief
Executive himself has made no di
rect statement, those among his Al
ifkan party who reflect his views
>8?ert the President has no idea of
heeding the demand for an extra
reseion made by Senator Brookhart,
Republican cf Iowa.
The President, they say. feels that
hue is little or no need for any
mmediate arrcmblying of the Fed
ral legislative body and, further
ncic, that leaders in Congress, in
ommen with the public generally,
<re of the opinion the country is
xnefttting from the present recess
)f Congrus. So far as the need for
:clief legislation for farmers is ccn
ieined, those close to the President
ire unable to agree with Senator
Brookhart in that respect. They
Joint out that the Chief Executive
n his Hutchinson, Kansas, address
ast month, presented the list of
ncasures instituted by the Federal
Government for the benefit of farm

ihculd with gradual improvement in
