Mr. McLean, upon receiving the request of the President-elect, for abandonment of the celebration issued the following statement: realize; of course, how keen will be the disappoint-ment to the people of Washington but I have all along known how President-elect Harding felt with respect to the expenditures of large sums of money at this time.

With word of the location of the balloonists at Skunk Island, twenty miles below here on the Missinabe Trail, a mad rush of writers, photographers and movie men began. Despite knowledge on the part of" the newspapermen that orders from Secretary Daniels to the aeronauts, telling them not to release their story except through the Navy Department, are waiting the officers here; every news gatherer is determined to get to the men first and make them talk exclusively.

The local inhabitants though they have worn a studied air of indifference throughout the past few days dropped their masks of stoicism, sent up a few hearty cheers, paid off their bets and started toasting the U.

Earl Trowse, one of the runners, sent I tit by the newspaper correspondents re, in a party headed by W. K. Clark, of TTearst, brought this informa- 'r rion to the press car at 10 o'clock to light. He said that the Hudson Bay Company packet from Moose Factory, with which the airmen are traveling, jeaehed Skunk Island, twenty miles north rf here, lute th'a aftrrnnnn was applauded "and seconded by other members of the House, Mr.

Wood scored the "constant quarreling and bickering now going on between the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Department of Justice over the enforcement of the law. Mr. Volstead, who figured in several snappy verbal encounters with his fellow lawmakers, declared the whole matter "a M-benae to discredit the enforcement of the law," and declared that the move proposed by Mr. Wood would nullify its effectiveness. "It is true," he admitted, "that the enforcement of the Volstead act has leeii more or less of a failure." but he declared this was largely due to the fact that ten States had not as yet enacted concurrent legislation.

The storm broke when debate on the entire bill was opened. It was not thought that the matter of prohibition enforcement would be the bone of contention, but rather the provisions of the measure which eliminate appropria- ground here this afternoon, -when debate on the Legislative, Judicial and Executive appropriation bill was begun in the House. It is this measure which carries an item of (O.00O for the enforcement of the National Prohibition amendment and the Harrison Anti-Narcotic law. Representative William R. Wood, chairman of the sub-committee of the Appropriations Committee, served notice on Representative A.

Charges that the British Government exercises surveillance over American cable business, official as well as private, passing through the British Isles, and that the State Department bad extended its controversy with the Western Union Telegraph and Cable Company to bring in the Cuban Government, came np today before a Senate committee considering cable legislation. Norman H. Davis, acting Secretary of State, and Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union, conducted a cross-table argument over the Cuban allegation, when Mr. Davis flatly denied that the department had brought any pressure to bear to prevent the landing of the Barbadoes cable in Cuba. "The State Department has clone nothing of the kind." Mr.

Davis said, and President Carlton promptly broke in to characterize this statement as "diplomacy." The Western Union head insisted that "American officials" had made representations' to the Cuban Government, and Mr. Davis replied that no one but the State Department had authority to take such a step. President Carlton asserted that, "as instancing the animus of the State Department in persecuting an American oTporation." a shipment of cable to his company, through a Cuban subsidiary of the Hell Telephone system, had been topped by the American Government. Secretary Davis also denied this assertion, i "I can still catch that ship." Mr. Carlton interjected.

"Do I understand that you will do nothing prejudicial to the telephone company if they bring to -rWe4r? Mr. Davis said nothing would be done "if the "Western Union lays no cable surreptitiously in American waters." Mr. Carlton announced he would "get on the wires and catch that ship."

It is known that for some time he has been giving anxious thought to the events in Washington and that he has been impressed with the unfavorable comment in various parts of the country toward expensive inauguration ceremonies. The heated discussion in the Senate a few days ago in which Senator Borah and Sena-' tor Knox tilted over the probable cost of the inaugural ball read very distastefully to Mr. Harding. Moreover, the apparently growing condition of unemployment and the anxiety felt over the industrial situation to come suggested very clearly to him that the entire inaugural ceremony should be on the sim-plest possible scale.

A prediction that Fresident-elect Harding's Association of Nations will permit the I'nited States to assume its proper place in world affairs was made here today by William G.

Camliouhine told Customs officers he came to the United States at the bidding of the former Grand Duchess, who had been unable to obtain money in Athens, Greece, with which to buy food for hundreds of fellow Russian refugees. Nothing has been heard in this country of the former Grand Duchess movements since, a newspaper dispatch in June 1920 reported her in Belgrade, Serbia, seeking aid. They hoped to raise money on the jewels, he said. He then obtained an assignment as electrician on the steamship King Alexander, and arrived in Brooklyn several days ago.

Director Cortelyou, after issuing his orders to the effect the strike would be stopped even if the entire police force had to be used, said: "I hare no grievance against a well-conducted strike, and there will be no interference as long as a strike is conducted along legitimate lines, but this destruction of property and endangering of lives cannot be tolerated."
