The tentative plan under consideration is for the president to leave here just before or just after Christ- mas for a brief stay in Flor- ida. The spot he will visit has not been finally deter- mined. The president is holding final decision as to the trip in abeyance, pending action by congress before its Christ- mas recess. Should something arise in legislative or governmental affairs that he feels would require his presence here, the trip will not be made. Should he decide to ‘ge, however, it probably will mean cancellation of,the his- toric New.

S. coast guard cutters Saranac and Saukee at high tide this evening to pull the stranded ship Pecos into deep water. ~These vessels worked on the steamer last night but all efforts to move it proved of no avail and Agent C, E. Smith decided it was necessary to remove more of the cargo. Accordingly work began again this morning and one barge load of cotton and four was brought to the Mallory wharf shortly after noon and two more lighter loads, are expected to be brought to the city before night, It is said that two of these loads will approximate 150 tens each and the other will be of about 100 tons. The removal of these will practically discharge the cargo. When the ship is freed, the sur- vey made and the vessel found to be undamaged, all of the cargo will be reloaded and she will proceed on her voyage to Charleston, S. C., and New York. ‘AMERICAN SCHOOLS IN TURKEY CLOSED (My Associated Presa) SCUTARI, Turkey, Dec. 9% ‘The annual congress of American schools decided to elese the Goz- tepe School for boys and the Adana School for girls because in- sufficient funds came from Amer- jen this year.

(a Associated Press) | WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—The| powerful post of speaker in the} new or 73rd Congress is being ac-} tively sought by four leading dem-}| ocrats of varying views. Another-quartet of possible con- tenders may enter the field before a selection is made at a democratic caucus probably in March. De- spite the time remaining before| the actual selection, the import-; ance of the post is such that it! probably will command much at- tention at the present short ses- sion. The office will be vacated by Speaker John N, Garner on March \4 when he becomes vice president and presiding officer of the senate. Candidates already in the race are Represettatives Henry T. Rainey of Illinois, democratic floor } leader; Joseph W. Byrns of Ten- néssee, chairman of the important} appropriations committee; John McDuffie of Alabamu, party whip, and John E. Rankin, of Missis: | pi, chairman of the veterans’ } mittee. ‘| Others May Seek Post The possible contenders are} Representatives Lindsay C. Warren jof North Carolina, chairman of the; aecounts committee; John W. Mc-} Cormack of Massachusetts, mem- ber of the ways and means com- mittee; John J. O'Connor of New York, and Arthur H. Greenwood of Indiana, both members of the rules group. Garner was elected speaker a year ago when the democrats ed the house from 12 years of publican control. The Texan was the first democratic speaker since the late Champ Clark of Missouri, who wielded the gavel during the Wilson administrations.
