The bustling activity that new marks

Mr. Bek is n member of the com cem

"We had a nice little chat." said
Mr. Bek as he left the Mayer's office.
He said further information must come
from the Mayer.
"Mr. Bek came In principally te talk
ever some civic events," Mr. Moere ex
plained later. "We talked about Sea-qui-Centennlal
matters among ether
things."
Mr. Stetesbury'a visit was shorter

Mr. Rea StUI in New Yerk
The belief was expressed today that
if Chnries M. Schwab were induced
te take the pest of chief'commisslencr
or director general he undoubtedly
would de se only as a- "dellara-year
man."
This view was advanced by an asso
ciate of Samuel Rea. who s ennirman
of the committee reviewing the field of
candidates.
If Mr. SiMv.nb accepted Mr. Bek's
offer of $50,000 a year for five years
for the fair director, he probably would
use this money te retain tne eest as
sistants nvailablc.
Mr. Rea, who Is In New Yerk today

Committee members hint that tbe Iden
tity of the director will be settled with-
in two or three days.

Jehn II. Masen, president of the
Commercial Trust Company and n
member of the committee appointed te
select ' a director, uecrared teaay his
idea Is that the man selected should De
of "the Lloyd Geerge type.';
"I am, of course, net at liberty te
speak for the committee, but merely
as an indtvumai expressing nis own
private vlews," he eald. "1 dislike te
be quoted en such a matter, but I think
there is no narm in saying at tne mo
ment that the energetic men and women
who are looking Inte the future and
are new organizing the fair, will hope
te have at its head a suave, diplomatic
type of man.
"The chief commissioner-te-be of
this great $50,000,000 undertaking must
en a big-ncarted and Dig-mtnderi man.
He must knew men and must knew hew
te set the most out of them when nlaced
in charge of important departments of
the fair's organization. The great
problem of Mr. Rea's committee will be
net only te lind racn a man, out te get
him te nrcent the Jeb."
Mr. Masen Indicated, mere by his
manner thnn his words, that be thinks
Mr. Schw.iJ would be an admirable
selection.
Petty Politics Barred
"The task of the new chief cora cera cora

crved Mr. Masen, "if the people of

"Held the Line, Old Bean,"
Page Tells King of Spain
i -
- Madrid, April 20. (By A. P.)
"Would you have tbe kindness te
ask the secretary te speak en the
telephone?" This message, received
by a page at the military club nt
Madrid, se astounded him by Its
politeness that he thought one of
the ether boys was having a joke
with him. He therefore replied:
"Held the line, old bean (or the
Spanish equivalent), and I'll glve
him te you."
Te his horror, the secretary ad
dressed the person who had rung up
as "Your Majesty."
Shortly afterward a message came
that- the page was te go te the
palace. There the King received him
and gave him a 100-peseta note, say
ing laughingly: "There you are,
old bean," and invited him te spend
the rest of the afternoon at the
palate with the royal children.
FOR LIBERTY BttL
Chicago Request for- Exhibi
tion in July Is
Protested
D. A. R. MAY FIGHT PLAN
A request for exhibition of the Lib
erty Bell in Chicago next July at an
educational festival has aroused oppo
sition "here against another junket for
America's great relic.
Mayer Thompson, of Chicago, yes
terday telephoned Mayer Moere inform
ing him a petition fifteen miles long
and containing the names of 3,000,000
school children will be sent te this city
seen.
Mayer Moere stated he has told rep
resentatives of Chicago that there is a
prejudice against allowing the Bell te
leave Independence Hall. He Bald he
will place tbe matter before City
Council.
The Philadelphia Chapter, Daugh
ters of the American Revolution, led
the fight seven years age against send
ing the precious Bell te California for
the Panama-Pacific Exposition. The
old councils allowed the relic te go,
however, and a delegation of Council -men
went with It, at the city's ex
pense. D. A. R. May Fight
The Philadelphia Chapter is expected
again- te take up the cudgels en behalf
of the Bell, which metallurgical ex
perts have said would be injured by a
long trip. Lecal officials of the D. A.
R. are new in Washington, attending
their national convention.
Mrs. W. H. Sterling, 4616 Spruce
street, acted as chairman of the Lib
erty Bell committee which the chapter
erganised In 1015 ln an effort te keep
the Bell at home.
Mrs. Sterling today expressed strong
opposition te another trip for the Lib
erty Bell, although she made It clear she
was speaking as an individual and net
for the Philadelphia chapter.
"The same argument is being ad
vanced new as was advanced before,"
said Mrs. Sterling. "The sehoel chil
dren want te see It. The LIbertr Hell
is part of Independence Hail. The peo
ple should go te the shrine, net the

APPROACH OF ELECTION
RESTORES PARTY LINES
Lawmakers Seek te Get Under
Executive's Wings Before
Facing Voters
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Staff Carrespendeat Evenlnc Publle Irittr
Copurleltt. 1911, by PwMte Ltdetr Company
Washington, April 20. President
Harding, as a result of the vote for the
86,000 personnel in the navy, is in the
strongest position in which he-has been
since the early days of bis Administra
tion. Only one argument was used for
the bill in the Heuse. Man after man
get up and asked, "Why don't you
fellow the President en the navy?"
There was no answer te this ques
tion. Nene of the arguments of the
little navy men were effective against
the fact that tbe President wished for
86;000 men.
The congressional election draws near
and Congressmen feel that their safest
position with their constituents it that
they have voted as the President wUhed,
The Executive is se much stronger be
fore tnc country than is congress mat
Republicans In the Heuse and in the
Senate wish te get under his wings.
Blocs Merge Inte Party
Blocs find divisions of all kinds trnd
te merge themselves Inte the party as
the election approaches. This necessity
of carrying elections is the best assur
ance in the world that the tendency te
the group system ln politics will net go
te the point of political disintegration.
Every four seara there will be h
President te elect, and no bloc will be
strong enough te elect a President.
Therefore, at least every four years
blocs must mere or less forget that they
are blocs and remember that they are
Republicans or Democrats. The same
compulsion te almost the same degree
rests upon them in. the mid-term Oon Oen
grexs elections.
What happened with regard te the
Navy Bill will also happen with regard
te ether major questions from new en
till the end of the present session.
"Why net fellow the President?" will
be the most potent nrgument wherever
tbe President's wishes are made plain.
This applies especially with regnrd
te the Tariff Bill, upon which the
greatest possible confusion exists in
the minds of the congressional leaders.
AH the Senate managers plan te de is
te pass some kind of tariff bill and at
tach some kind of rider te it which
will provide means te pay a bonus te
the seldlei-s. They de net knew what
kind of tariff bill. They have net the
lainiest; iuea weat sort 01 revenue pro pre
vision for the bonus te make.
The Senate leaders de net think that
President Harding will veto any bill
for n bonus which provides revenue te
Say It. But beyond this they de net
new hew te fellow the President.
Harding Can Shape Tariff
Mr. Harding might make any kind of
tariff that he would. But the trouble
is that it Is asking tee much te expect
the President te decide import duties.
He is In the same position that Con
gress Is In. He does net knew what
the tariff should he.
Business is indifferent or divided with
regard te protection. The country
gives no ure sign what It wents In
the way of schedules. The bill reported
by the Senate has produced no definite
reaction.
Frem various parts of the country
comes the usual word that the public is
tired of Congress and. wishes It would
go home. If it could be assured thnt
there would be no rcisien of the tariff
buslnens generally would probably be
content te have tariff legislation drop
ped. Hut if the tariff is te be altered busl
ne would like te have the changes
mndu as Boen as possible te remove the
uncertainty. This is the general atti
tude, thetiarh. of reurHP. thnn n r.
reptien, certain lines demanding protec
tion. The present swing of Congress te the
President is without nprnmnanf .1..-
nlficancc. It docs net indicate that Mr.
naming nss discovered th" trick of
leadership or that Cenirrpsmnpn nn,i
Senators have become amenable te dis
cipline. An elrotien h cemlnir that is nil that
brings the change. After the election
the minorities will emerce once mure
nnd the difficulties of leading from the
one iieiim win reappear.

slst that energetic measures must be
taken and penalties applied te Germany
if the RuHKO-Onrinnn Trerty Is net ab
rogated, regardless of what the Genea
Conference may dacide.
The Premier's position is that there
can be no mere hesitation in the execu
tion of the Treaty of Versailles, and
that, unless Its execution Is Insisted
upon new, with evidences of determina
tion en the part of the Allies, the treaty
may ns well be abandoned altogether.
He holds that none of the concessions
made te Germany has led in nnv re
spect te conciliation, but rather" that
they have bcn taken by Germany as
evidences of the weakness of the Allies
and ns encouragement for further re
sistance. See Violation of Versailles Pact
Premier I'eincnre has consulted lead
ers 61 the different parties In the last
two days. The Conservatives and Na Na
tlenulNtB advised a firm nttltude, as
was expected. Even the mere liberal
elements in Parliament, represented by
such leadcis un Deputj Hcrrlet, head
of the Radicals, also gave the Premier
te iinderMnnd they would support the

Treaty.
It was pointed out today that tit
