By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Qhio, July 7.—With Uniontown, Pa., as his probable des- tination for the night, President Harding left here early today on the second 1ap of his automobile journey from Marion to Washington. The presidential party expected to follow the National road, with a stop at New Concord, Ohio, where an honorary de- gree of doctor of laws was to be con- ferred on the President by Muskingum { College. { A twenty-hour stop-over in Colum- bus offered Mr. Harding the opportu- nity last night, in an extemporaneous address at an open-air banquet cele- brating the fiftieth anniversary of the Columbus Republican Glee Club, to_make a vigorous appeal for party solidarity. Too many in the repub- lican ranks are attempting to attract attention to themselves instead of working for the good of the party and for some one to assume leadership if harmony is to prevail. % The President was made a life mem- ber of the club, which has sung in his support in a number of political cam- paigns, at the celebration last night. Government Needs Harmony. Prefacing_his_remarks before the Columbus Glee Club with the observa- tion that a glee club never would sing in harmony if the tenors insisted on receiving special attention because they were tenors and the bases did Mr. Harding declared it harmony if individuals and groups in the party took the same “slant on things.” Several hundred men and women, most of them actively identified with the republican party, heard tae Presi- He reminded them that the party is sponsor for the gov- ernment today, and added that “we would be better off if all whe wear the badge were republicans at heart.” “You seldom stop to think of the inheritance of the present 'minis- declared the executive, add- ing that he meant to take no “fing at what went before." ‘But there was a saturnalia of ex- penditure.” he continued, “with some nations spending to bankruptey and the United States to madness. of that great upheaval must come a one wants a readjustment for him- for others.

There can be no domination, he said, but the will of the people, as expressed in the laws of this country. “If the law cannot be maintained,” the President continued, “then the re- public itself is menaced.” Mr. Harding said it was consoling to realize that the great undercurrent of American life was in a forward direction, and that “nothing in the world can stop it."™ .PREMIER KING COMING.

This was decided upon last night, when the committee held its las meeting in the boardroom of the District building and struck from the report a suggestion “® * * that Congress . might . well consider au- thorizing 'a thorough-going investl- gation.” The farewell session was enlivened by frequent tilts between Julius I. Peyser and Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, who served as presiding officer for \the chairman, Mrs. Eli A. Helmick. Peyser complained that Donovan was having the severa]l sections of the report ratified so rapidly that he could not keep track of proceedings. After the committee had adopted the report by sections and was aboyt to vote on it as a whole another Dr. Waldron had declared that all of the teeth had been extracted from the document and that it would be a_disappointment to the people of ‘Washington. Discussion Shut Off. Peyser arose to take issue with Dr. Waldron, but Chairman Donovan prevented further debate by rapping loudly for order and putting the mo- tion to adopt the report as a whole, which automatically dissolved the committee. Mrs. Helmick, chairman of the com- then announced that she uld submit to the Commissioners her minority \report the findings several weeks ago, but which were changed in many respects-by the com- mittee. It is probable that several other members of the committee will sign the minority statement. The report. as adopted, recommends that Congress postpone for two years enforcement of the law closing alley dwellings in the District. Mrs. Helmick will recommend that an alley commission be appointed, to consist of three salaried members, with power to act in improving liv- ing conditions of alley dwellers. Here is a summary of the majority report, as it will go to the Com- Firat.

That there is a shortage in moderately priced houses for either pur- chase or rent, thereby causing a lack of adequate and suitable housing facili- ties for a large part of the population. ‘Fourth. That the continuing high prices of building material and skilled labor have restrained Irvestors from constructing rental properties and caused speculators in building opera- tions to ask abnormally high prices on sale. “Fifth. That high sale prices which have retarded the financing of real es- tate sales and the building of low priced houses have brought on the market many second and third mortgages of doubtful value, the discounting of which has been responsible for many of the reports of profiteering. “Sixth. That any early elimination of alley dwellers from their homes u der the present law will still further augment the lack of housing facili- ties The question of the cost of financing home buying and building was one of the storm centers of the committee's work throughout the inquiry. The re- port of the committee on this subject is, in substance, that the cost of financ- ing is no different in Washington from other large cities. Here is what the committee will tell the Commissioners with regard to finance: 30,000 Improperly Housed. “There are 30,000 people, including the alley dwellers, in Washington at Lh}: tions, allowing five people to each house, to house these people.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, July 7.—Premier Poincare last night received the support of the chamber of deputies by a vote of 532 to 66. This expression of con- fidence in the government was given after the close of the debate on the question of “responsibilities for the war” initiated by the communists. The government selected from the various motions one which expressed the chamber’s intense contempt “for the.calumnious campaign orgarized for Germany’s profit to escape the responsibilities for the war, despite the evidence of facts and the avowals contained in the sjgned treaty of Ver- sallles and confirmed by the reicks- tag.! This was carried by a majority of 467, after the chamber had voted down the soclalist proposal to ap- point a committe of inquiry, by a majority of 422. ORDERED TO THIS CITY. Lieuts. Harry H.
