The delega- tion was unanimous today, however, in_its indorsement of him. When Secretary Wallace ator Curtis recommended Mr. Mohler to the President. Later the name of the His Dr. Jardine was mentioned as a pos- | sible candidate for the office and Senator Curtis then called a meeting of the State delegation and it in- dorsed Mr. Mohler formally. Today Senator Curtis explained that change in the delegation’s ment was to assure the President that in Dr. Jardine Kansas members of Con- gress wouid not stand in the way. Outlines Views. Dr. Jardine outlined some of his views on agriculture today before a Senate committee, to which he was explaining recommendations eof agricultural conference. Agriculture in the United States, he said, is passing through.a normal post-war crisis, from which its re- covery is certain. Asserting his ‘“unalterable opti- mism” for the outcome, he said he dld not view the present situation as an emergency, but as an after- math of war similar to periods faced by farming in the past. “Only this was the greatest war of . history and the most destructive,” he added, “and the effects naturully are more pronounced.” “You can't tell me we through, though,” he declared, “when 1 see the wheat acreage reduced by intensive education In three years from 75,000,000 to 52,000,000 acres.” Dr. Jardine underwent a stiff cross- examination at the hands of the Sen- ate committee. Sharply Questioned. After the witness had undertaken an analysis of the conference's recommendations, describing especial- ]y those dealing with “orderly mar- Keting,” Chairman Norris insisted that an “emergency program” was needed. while Senator Kendrick, Dem- ocrat, Wyoming, asserted the confer- ence report “erred in placing the blame’ for the farmer's situation, and Senator Norbeck South Dakota, complained of “absence of any reference to causes.” You bring this program to Con- /ress in the last days of the session,” Senator Norris said, “and the White House announces there is ample time for us to act. W fort to pass the buck?” “There certainly w to embarrass Congress replied. Chairman Carey of the conference and Louis J. Taber, a member of the body, testified committee, taking up in detail Bill covering co-operatives, which was drawn by Chalrman Haugen. “COW PUNCHER" IN YOUTH. no intention Dr. Jardine “Dr. Jardine Started ‘‘on His Own" at Fifteen. M. Jardine began his ca- “cattle puncher” in the fa- mous Big Hole Basin of Montana. Born on a ranch in Idaho in 187 when that country was still an Indian frontier, he started to make his own way at the age of 15 and sought first the hardy life of a Montana ranger. At the age of 20, however, he forsook the lariat and the saddle for a degree at the Utah Agricultural College. Years on the range had intensified rather than dulled the student’s intel- Jectual capacity, and it was not long after he had been graduated before he was summoned back to his alma mater to become dean of its agricul- tural department. His doctor's de- gree came soon afterward and then his researches in grain attracted the Attention of the Department of Agri- culture in Washington In 1906 Dr. Jardine came to Wash- yngton and became assistant United States cerealist in charge of the grain work in the western half of the country. Four years later he as- aumed directorship of agronomy work at the Kansas State Agricultural College. After occupying several other important chairs in that college he became its president in'1918. As head of agricultural production in Kansas during the World War, Dr. Jardine won national fame. He was, in addition to president of the Kansas State Agricultural College, agricul- tural advisor to the American Bank- ers’ Association and lecturer at the national school for the training of chamber of commerce secretaries.

SAYS COOLIDGE; AWAY GOES “HORSE” IN WHITE HOUSE President’s New Mount Canters, Trots, Gallops, Paces and Even Bucks—W hen Electric Button Is Pressed! President Coolidge’s hobby has at last been discovered. After going all these years without one, the Executive finally has fallen, and, as might be expected of this quiet and mysterious man in the White House, his hobby is one that no one would have guessed. It is an electric horse, It is placed in the President’s dressing room, and he rides it for exercise, if a severe shaking-up and rocking, n be classified as such. This horse is so constructed me- chanically that the President, as he sits securely in the saddle, can, by pushing different buttons, get hiz mount to gallop, trot, pace, canter, raise up on its hind legs, and a lot of other things a spirited steed in- dulges in, and a few no steed ever dreamed of. y “This horse fs similar fo the ones used by passengers on ocean liners to limber up. In fact, a friend of the President’s, who had used one on a sea trip, suggested this hobby to Mr. Coolidge, From the very day it was installed in the White House the President has used it in his usual systematic way. Three times a day. and sometimes more, he mounts thig horse and goes through about 10 minutes of canned horseback riding. He takes one of these rides just as soon as he arises in the morning. Agaln in the afternoon, after lunch- EAGUE AID ASKED IN GREEK-TURK ROW eon, he takes another hrisk canter, and in the evening before retiring he_ takes a moonlight gallop. For instance, if the President asks members of the farm bloc to dinner with him in the evening and they are Indisposed to accept suggestions for farm legislation, the President may be imagined to seek an outlet for his emotions by mounting his wood- en charger, and after pressing the button which indicates “full speed ahead” gallop wildly through the dusk unti he tires of the sport. Again, should the President desire to invite members of Congress to a breakfast of hot sausage, cakes and maple syrup, expecting to meet some opposition among them to his plans on legislation, he may mount his charger the first thing in the morn- ing, take a brisk trot, ending in a charge, and dismount—prepared to meet the congressmen with the light af B Bis eye.

GENEVA, February 11.—Greece ha appealed to the League of Nations against the action of Turkey in ex- pelling the Most Rev. Constantinos, ecumenical patriach of the Greek Catholic Church, from Constantionple, claiming that this action endangers the friendly relations between the two countries. Greece bases her appeal on Para- graph II*of Article XI of the league covenant, which declares that it is “the friendly right of each member of the league to bring to the atten- tion of the assembly or of the coun- cil any circumstances whatever affect- ing international relations which threatens to disturb international peace or the good understanding be- tween nations upon which peace de- pends.” The appeal was contained in a telegram from Premler Michalako- poulos, received today by the secre- tary general of the league, Sir Eric Drummond, who immediately trans- mitted copies to all members of the council, which will presumably deal with the controversy at its next meeting here, beginning March 9.

For the first time the amplifier tests across the electric light wire leading down to Collins failed this morning to record anything in the headphones. The last successful test at midnight repeated the “breathing” sounds at the regular rate of 18 per minute, but H. G. Lane, manager of the electric apparatus at the cave, sald that the test indicated the globe Wwas out of the socket or burned out Carmichael explained that the shaft had been completed two-thirds of the depth originally planned and that he expected to find some passagewa before the maximum depth estimated had been reached. At 9 o'clock today the shaft was 42 feet deep. The last four feet wers untimbered. Experienced Men Hopeful. Old cave men declared that tha finding of cave crickets was unmis- takable evidence that an underground drain was near. The drier stratum in the shaft was expediting the dig- Eing, Carmichael said. Twenty hours was given by res- cuers, at 3 o'clock. as the maximum time they expected to take to extri- cate Collins. They sald that if he Wwas not out of the hole in that time they would be sorely disappointed They were hopeful of reaching Coi- lins much sooner, saying that it might come at any minute. Dr. W. D.

Tells of Trips to Cellins. “County Agent Horning said as la‘s as midnight Monday that Flovd Col. lins had stated that Gerald (Johnni Gerald) was the last man to see him at that time and also that Homer Collins had seen him and fed him prior to Gerald's visit,” Dr. Funk- houser said. Lieut. Ben Wells, Gerald and an- other man went into the cave shor after midnight Tuesday morning and stayed until 6:30, feeding the prisoner at that time, he continued Dr. Funkhouser said that M.

Maddox and a Mr. Craddock, and possibly others, went into the cave, accord- ing to Dr. Funkhouser's notes. Others Trail Trapped Man. At 6:15 o'clock that same evening William B. Miller, Courier-Journal re- porter; Lieut. Burdon of the Louis- ville Firée Department and others went in. Millar said Collins had been fed either with milk or soup. Dr. Funkhouser explained that sometimes potato soup was placed in milk bottles and sent in, the workers thinking it was milk. Tuesday night Miller, Burdon and others worked on the boulder with jacks. They gave Collins some whisky and medicine and the lighting system was placed in the cave. Exploration of another hole ax a possihle outlet to Sand Cave was un- dertaken this morning by Edward Brenner of Cincinnati and Albert Marshall of Danville, Ky., miners. The hole was found 150 feet from the en- trance to the cave. Brenner reported going into the tunnel for 75 feet. Weather Demands Fires. Mr. Carmichael gave the men per- mission to make the exploration, but held little hope of it providing a passage to Collins' tomb. Campfires sprung up here and there over the hiliside under which Col- lins lies entombed today as cold weather replaced the warm, spring weather of recent days. Two fires were kept burning near the shaft. ©il Fumes Raise Hopes.
