Condition Is Still Grave
Washington, Srpt. 9 (By A. 1'.)
Mrs. Harding was said at the
Whiie House tonight to he "lioldiiiK
her own" in her fight against thi!
disease which on two previous occa
sions within the last right year she
ha conquered.
Una;. Gen. Sawyer, the family
physician, indicated there had been
no esie'itia! change in her condition

8 thin morning, announcing tint she

The official statement, which wan

"Temperature, 102.2; respiration,

Fight Arouses Hope.
After last night' tense hours, with
Mrs. Hardin 2 admittedly in a crit
ical condition, a spirit of hope even
tii'grd with some optimism pervaded
thi executive mansion. It was ap
parent that this was due to the
plucky fight the patient is making
ind which has aroused the admiration
of the group of physicians and at
tendants ever since the recurring
malady, which, with complications
due to a cold, became serious sev
eral days ago. Even today when a
sudden rise in her temperature caus
ed tome momentary concern and
Mrs. Harding plainly was suffering
acutely, she continued to display her
usual fortitude and unfailing cour-
President Harding laid aside all
but the most vital affairs of state
and went to the spacious chamber
overlooking La Fayette park where
the first lady of the land lay, to be
with her, and tonight was there con
stantly. From time to time the
physicians and nurses withdrew leav
ing the two alone. (
Many Callers.
Throughout the day there was a
continuous line of carriages and
automobiles bringing cabinet officers
and representatives of foreign gov
ernments to inquire the latest news
from the sick chamber.
Former President Wilson and Mrs.
Wilson came during the afternoon
and Ictf their cards. Rear Admiral
Cary T. Grayson, who attended Mr.
Wilson during his critical illness in
the Wihte House; the new German
mbassador, Herr Wcidt'clt, and
practically every department head in
the present administration were
among the callers, most of whom
left flowers and personal notes ex
pressing their sympathy.
While there was no announcement
as to when the attending physicians
expected a crisis to be reached, the
statement that a consultation would

conclusion that no development of

McAdoo Declares'
Rumor of Race for
Presidency Bunk
Says Nothing Further From
Mind Than Return to Public
Life Is Having
"Bully" Time.
Idaho Falls, Idaho, Sept. 9. -William
G. McAdoo, former secretary of
the treasury, characterized as "pure
bunk" a recent press report from
New York in. which William C.
Lyons of Denver said Mr. McAdoo
had told him that he would be a can
didate for the democratic presidential
nomination in 1924.
Mr. McAdoo was interviewed by
a representative of the Idaho Falls
Post, aboard a log raft, "The Mc
Adoo Special," upon which he and a
party of friends are making a 10
day journey down the south fork of
the Snake river, spending their time
hunting and fishing.
"There is nothing further from
my mind than a return to public
life," Mr. -McAdoo told the newspa
per man as the rat't was floating down
the river at a point near Sulphur
Har. "My change of residence to
California was intended to remove
me from and not to inject me into
politics "
Mr. McAdoo said that should he
decide to run for the preiidrncv he
would announce hjs randidacy direct
to the American people.
"I thtf k more of the ..! than 1
da of the Wh te House." Mr. Me
Ad'o continued. "I am having a

Michigan
Primary to
Be Watched
Political Obsrrvrrt Believe
Outcome Will Be Index of
Popular Sentiment Re
garding Radicalism.
Results Are Uncertain
By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Oamha lie I M'lr.
Detroit, Sept. 8. More than ordi
nary importance attaches to the re
publican primary in Michigan next
Tuesday. It is going to shed light
on the moM interesting political phe
nomenon of the hour.
The attention of the whole coun
try has been directed to the spirit of
radicalism, progressiveness, protest,
insurgency (call it what you niay)J
which has heeu playing havoc witn
the republican organization in the
primaries of that party this year.
What does it mean? Everybody is
wondering. Is it a passing ebullition
of protejt occasioned by the ephe
meral ills of postwar readjustment
which would not appear on the sur
face if it were not fomented by able,
forceful leaders, like Hcveridge in
Indiana; Brookhart in Iowa and La
Follette in Wisconsin?
Is It Radicalism?
Or is there gathering slow, but
sure momentum a wave o( radical
ism whose crest any leader may ride
to victory, and which, according to
some prophets, is going to work an
economic and to some extent a gov
ernmental revolution (peaceful or
otherwise) in this country?
The political situation in this state
on the eve of the primary is exceed
ingly complicated and one man's
gness as to the outcome is as good
as another's. '
Superficial indications are all in
favor of Townsend and only the pri
mary returns will show whether th
surface" tallies with the subsoil phen
omena. He has a record of service
at Washington that has stood every
test up to date. It is doubtful thai
he would have had to fight for re
nomination had it not been for the
Newberry issue. The republican or
ganization which supported New
berry, has been under fire, like
Townsend, and is out to win a vindi
cation alon? with the senator in the
primary.
Measure Newberry Protest.
The vote primarily for Congress
man Pat Kclley and to a less extent
for Maj. J. G. Emery, will measure
the protest against the seating of
Newberry.
The Harding administration is not
popular in Michigan, one judges from
the public and private expression of
opinion. In addition to those who
always blame the party in power for
all the ills of the hour, there are those
natural conservatives who are now
complaining that the president's
course in dealing with the strikes has
been weak and vacillating. Townsend
is more or less identified with the
administration, but is probably far
stronger. Those who want to regis
ter a rebuke to the administration
will vote against him, but the busi
ness men, who are condemning the
administration, will vote for for him.
nevertheless. Congressman Kelley
scarcely can benefit appreciably
from protest against the Harding re
gime, for he has supported the admin
istration consistently except on the
navy appropriation bill.
Vote Will Be Index.
The vote for Herbert Baker will
he the index of the extent of the
radical protest in Michigan. He is
relying for victory on a popular up
rising against the powers that be at
Washington. My own opinion is
that it will take a popular uprising
to put him over and that if he wins
the nomination it will be significant

against the conservatism of the re
publican party, an intimation oi the

Conference
May Reduce
Allied Debt
Possibility of Financial Meet
ing at Washington, to Help
Kurope on Its Feet,
Growing.
Despair of Collecting
By GEORGE F. AUTHIER.
Mull lnlon f'oertMHideiit Omaha Be,
Washington, Sept. 9 There Is in.
creasing possibility that the Harding
administration will eventually call a
linancial conference in Washington
to consider the financial situation in
Europe. The. recent White House
statement, that President Harding
has it in mind to aid Europe in re
establishing itself, but that the time
is not ripr, shows this. The pros
pect 'of calling such a conference
here sends shivers up the backs of
some people in Washington, because
it ia regarded as the first step in
scaling down the allied indebtedness
which governmental leaders are be
ginning jto despair of ever collecting,
Europe to Confer.
The president's public suggestion
is believed to have been communi
cated in more concrete form- to the
European chancellories through our
ambassadors and is supposed to be
responsible for the suggestion made
by Premier Poincare of France fdr
a European conference to be held in
Brussels in October. This confer
ence will not include the United
States but will be preliminary so
that Europe can agree on some sort
of financial program which will make
it possible for the United States to
participate later. The American gov
ernment refrained from participation
in the Genoa conference and in that
at The Hauge because it was clear
enough that these conferences were
more political than financial and the
Harding administration, under the
careful guidance of the country'i
foreign policy by Secretary. Hughes
does not propose to be beguiled into
mixing in Europe's militaristic poli
tics or become embroiled in Euro
pean rivalries.
Premier Poincare of France, with
in the last few days has indicated
a tendency to be a little less drastic
in dealing with Germany and ap
parently, is beginning to realize that
blood .cannot be drawn from a tur
nip, as a member of President Hard
ing's cabinet has expressed it. What
he is aiming at is to have a scaling
down of German reparations made a
part of the foreign debt which
France owes to this country and to
England.
Washington Willing to Yield.
At Washington there are evi
dences, also, of a willingness to yield
to this form of reasoning. The
American attitude is not wholly al
truistic. America has become a
creditor nation, which means she
must find a market for her goods in
foreign countries. She has built a
merchant marine and proposes to
subsidize it. It avails little to have
goods to sell if there is no market
for them and a merchant marine is
the fifth wheel of the wagon without
goods to carry. Europe appears un
able to get on its feet. America may
have to come to thr? rescue, finally,
not only as a contribution to civiliza
tion, but as a means of solidifying its
own return to prosperity.
It is believed here the president's
reference to the fact the "time it not
ripe" for American participation in
Europe's financial affairs had in mind
public sentiment in this country as
well as conditions in Europe. It
would be difficult to induce any con
gressman today to advocate scaling
down the European debt so much as
an inch. The pressure of the un
marketed crops of the future, how
ever, may result in a different atti

Action Would Prohibit Those

Washington, Sept. 9. The consti

of the public health service and the
commissioner of education, who, un
der the act, constitute the board of
maternity and infant hygiene. This
is the first attack before the court
on the constitutionality of the meas

order of the general court of Massa

Hard Battle Is Expected
Omaha He I e'4 H lr.
fhiiago, Sept. 9 A nation-wide
rlroad sabotage plot, characterized
by government officials a the mn..t
gigantir nnd rutbliis ever undertak
en in the t'nited Slates, will be pttb-
j licly revealed in connection with the
I battle to be waged Monday in Fed
ji ral Judge Wilker son's court during
j the hearirg for a permanent injunr
lion agaiutt officers and members o
the striking shopcrafts, according fc
information given out at the pederai
building late today.
According to government plans
action will not Mop with the effort
to have Judge Wilkerson't tempor
ary injunction made permanent, but
i: is expected that wholesale indict
incuts will be sought againt mem
bers of the shopcrafts and strike
sympathizers.
Carload of Evidence.
The scope of the federal prograi i
against the strikers became known
following the arrival in Chicago to
day of a carload of rvidenre, said
to have been rollected in all parts
of the country. Five trucks were
used to transport the exhibits to a
government building, where it is now
being puarded by thirty-five heavily
armed federal agents.
The evidence brought here is said
to contain thousands of telegrams,
letters, photographs, blueprints, and
books, together with trtinsripts ol
statements of 17,(KK) persons who
have been interrogated by federal
authorities.
Another carload of evidence, re.
ported to consist principally of toolt
of violence, seized from , strikini;
shopmen ii due to arrive in Chicagc
Monday.
Data Reveals Plant. .
This data, according to a high gov.
ernment official in Chicago, reveals
well laid plans for the following:
1. The wrecking of railroad
equipment.
2. The murder of certain persons
attempting to obstruct the sabotage
campaign.'
3. The wrecking of locomotives.
(The materials to have been used in
this phase of the plan are now in ths
hands of the government, it is said.)
4. The throwing out of line ol
bearings on passenger, mail and
freight trains, causing wrecks that
could be blamed to "poor equip
