Dr. Harris PRESIDENT-ELECT 15 ON VAGATION (Continued from First Page). lage on the southern Texas coast, he . was ready to plunge unreservedly into the swing of a real vacation. Hunt- ing, fishing and zolf are the particu- lar vacation offerings of the place but of the three he expected to omit bhunting because it never has been among his favorite spor A morn- ing’'s fishing expedition and an aft- ernoon on the golf links were to con- stitute his routine during virtually every day of his vis No Mexican Conferences. { The fact that Point Isabcl lies only six miles from the Mexican border, has given rise to many whisperings of possible conferenc between the new president-elect nd representa- tives of the new regime in Mexico but those closest to Mr. Harding were inclined to throw cold water.on these reports. Mr. Harding himself said today that no such conferences weie “in prospect” and that he had heard them expressed only in news- paper speculation. Not Rushing Things. The same attitude was taken by the president-elect toward published suzgestions that he might begin be- fore his inauguration informal con- versations with European govern- ments regarding the formulation of an association of nations. Not only does he want his vacation undisturbed but he has said in public utterances that he desired to have no negotia- tions with foreign agents until he actually had cgme into authority. The delicacy ‘of Mr. Harding’s posi- tion in that regard has been pointed out more than once by those closely associated with him. Elected to the presidency by an overwhelming ma- jority after promising many changes in the nation’s foreign polic: he naturally is looked to by foreign gov- ernments to take the proper steps to have those changes put into effect. Yet by a proviso of American law, unique among the greater powers of the world he remains a private citizen for four months, forbidden by diplo- matic propriety to take any hand in the direction of executive affairs. All Turned Away. At a time when important mmm.t tional problems are pending not only with the powers of the old world but with Mexico, Japan, China and other/ this situation takes on ad- interest. It is understood everal men representing themselves, either truly or falsely as the spokes- men of foreign statesmen attempted to sain interviews with Mr. Harding at Marion even before his election hut of nations, ditional his headquarters officials say all them were turned away. / CONTINUE FIGHT ON DIPHTHERIA SPREAD For Schick Tests if Dr, Harris Suggestion Adopted Tomuarrow afternoon a meeting of the board of health commissiane Dr. Jes R. Harris, superintender of the department, will recommend that an appropriation be made to de- fray the expenses of giving Schick tests to any who apply for that treai- ment. The tests will be given as part of the campaign being waged by Dr. Ha'rris against diphtheria. The pur- pose of the treatment is to determine whether a person is immune to diph- theria or not, and in the event of =z person’s susceptibility being to such @ degree as to be dangerous, vaceina- will also ask for the views on the propositi ing in the health department’s quart- ers at City Hall. Should the board decide that idea of vaccination at City Hall practicable it is expected that thc ing doctors now under, the of the schaol boand will be usked to work with the . health authorities, This action would bring the department’s staff of doctors io four. Testing and- vaccination at this time will have but little effect upon the diphtheria situation for this winter, Dr Harris explains, but will do much toward preventing a spread of the disease at a later date.
