C, Aug. 28. Proposals for government operation of rail and coal properties were put aside, -at least for the present, 'today, and administration leaders, both in and out of congress, centered their efforts on less drastic measures to meet the industrial emergency. With the 'return to Washington of President Harding after an over- Sunday conference with some of his principal advisors on board the yacht Mayflower, it became apparent that no step toward government opera tion was to become a part of the present administration program. Not only was it revealed that the president himself was not disposed definitely to ask for congressional au thority to take over the properties involved in the strike situation but it was made known also that an in fluential group of leaders in the sen ate and house had taken a position which would make passage of the authorizing legislation extremely dif ficult. Meanwhile, committees in both branches of congress reported out for passage later in theweek, bills rec ommended by the administration to strengthen its hand in controlling coal distribution by creating a fed eral' distributing agency and by giv ing to the interstate commerce com mission broader powers over priority of shipments. Preside'nt Harding was informed late in the day by Republican Leader Mondell that the distribution measure would be brought into the house to morrow and passed before Wednes day night. No such quick action was in prospect in the senate, where the legislative situation was more com plicated, but leaders said there would be favorable action without much delay.

News at Sheriffs Office Such a vast veil of mystery has been thrown about the Acker-Burge case here that no doubt Parsons' revelations wijl come as a complete surprise, even to the sheriff's office here. Newspapermen were denied ad mission to the little drama of the meeting of the two alleged slayers of Enge, despite the fact that the case at one time hung by the slender thread of a reporter's imaginative genius when Enge could not be identified, although a prescription with his name on it lay for 48 hours on a desk in the sheriff's office, un til the newspaperman found it of in terest. Jour PRESCOTT OKLAHOMA SPIRITS SMITH AWAY FROM L A. WITH HABEAS CORPUS; SHERIFF FEAR PBHCM (Associated Press Night Wire) DETROIT, Aug. 28. Henry Ford in announcing Saturday that his plants would be closed September 16 because of conditions in the coal in dustry, began what he declares is a fight against alleged profiteering in coal.
