In First Prc-Inauguration
Speech Harding Visions
Pact as "Deceased."
MARION HAS BIG TIME
Immense Crowd Celebrates
With Senator, Who Feels
Solemn Responsibility.
AMERICANISM STILL INTACT
Will Have Association for
Justice, but None of Amer
ican Freedom to Be Lost.
MA III ON, Ohio, Nov. 4. Making
hli first speech as yTceldent-olect,
Warren O. Harding declared nt an
election celebration of homo folks
hero tonight that the Versailles
league of nations wan "now de
ceased" although tho new adminis
tration Intended to see that tho na
tion played its .irt In a new Inter
nullonal association founded on
peace and justice.
No AiilogIc8, No Regrets.
Mr. Harding also told his friends
and neighbor, who gathered around
tho front porch in a cheering con
coursu rivalling the greatest crowd
of thu campaign, that ho had como
through tho fight "without an apolo
gy or a regret," and that he would
rather not have tho presidency than
to win It "by speaking 111 or utter
ing a He."
Tableau Portrays League's Dentil.
The celebration, in which many
from other Ohio cities joined, was
characterized by all thu carnival of
features of an old timq political ral
ly. Ho grAit was tho gathering that
lh streets woro jammed for a block
nwny, and only a small part of thoso
present could hear tho speech. In a
parudiy past tho Harding residence
there were muny Bpcclal features,
one man loading a donkey an whobu
sides was painted "Jlmmiu didn't
treat mo right," whllo another
group carried a dummy corpse
silhouetted against a rod fire back
ground and labelled "tyio league of
nations."
It was from the latter tableau that
tho president-elect took tho cuo for
the leading thought of his speech.
His reference It started a laugh,
and then he said:
Will Maintain" Americanism.
"I didn't see as much twrrow in
your faces as I had apprehended.
It's not that you or I question the
tho desire of America to pjay its
part, It's not that wo question the
high Ideals of thoso who wcro re
sponsible for tho Versailles cove
nant. You Just did. not want a sur
render of tho United. Statea of
America. You wanted America to
jgo on under American Ideals. That's
I why you didn't caro for tho league,
Vvhlch Is now deceased.
"America is playing a great part
now. America Is hoaJlng tho heart
of tho old world tonLght as no other
nation. Hut thorn is more to do.
Thero Is u, now world relationship,
and when tho next administration
comes Into power wo'fo going to
play our nart. We're Kolng to ask
for nations associated together In
Justice: but It s.V-11 bo an nfwocta
Hon which surrenders nothing of
American freedom."
Vision .Solemn ItcspoiiilbHlty.
In his short talk thu president
fleet touched on no other issues of
tho ramiwlgn but thanked the crowd
for ) tribute and risked that ho go
to Washington "with your good
wishes and ,our confidence) and
prayers." '
it's a solemn responsibility, he
said, "and when I nm tnaugh I
want to bo able to como bacTTjtnd bo
one of you again tho snmo as I am
now. I like to stand before you and
tell you I don't come wh a single
apology or regret. Heforo I'd be
come president by speaking ill or
Jittering a lie, I'd spurn tho office,"
ho added that he always had liked
"tho Marlon spirit of boosting,' and
that he was, "going down to Wash
ington as a' booster for tho United
States of America.

SOFT COAL PROBE

Anderson's Summons to
Appear at Indianapolis
AMES CALLED INTO CASE
Withholds 'Certain Evidence'
Reported to Be Cause of
Action by Court
WASIHNOT'iN. Nov. 4 Attorney
Oe-nernl I'almcr returned to his of
fice here late today to find await
ing him 11 telegram from Federal
Judge Anderson at Indianapolis in
forming him that Investigation was
to be mndc of Mr Palmers emmet;.
tlon with tho soft coal cases. M. Pal
mer Immediately wctuo Into confer
ence with C. I!. Ames, f'Ttner assist
ant attorney general, who eondueted
the court proceedings at Indianapolis
in tho original cases nt the time Of
the soft coal strike. After tho comer,
ence, which Insted two hours, he
said he wan unable to understand
"what Judgo Anderson Is proposing
to Investigate."
Tho attorney general said ho had
reviewed tho entire record of tho
eases In question with Mr. Ameu but
that, they hud shed no light on the
mattor. ,
Ciin't Understand Judge.
"I am nt a loss to know what
Judge Anderson la proposing to In
vestigate," Mr. I'almer said. "My
connection with this case has been
simply and only the connection of
tue attorney general with any gov
ernmont case.'1
Mr. I'almer had not determined
tonight whether he would co to In
dlannpnlls personally In response to
Judge Anderson's invitation. It was
indicated, however, that Mr. Ames
will probably lie present at the In
quiry in the capacity of a special
representative of tho department of
justice.
There were indications nt tho de
partment that the controversy which
precipitated recently tho resignation
of Dan W. Hlmms as special prose
cutor In tho coal cases was being re
viewed,. Correspondence between tho de
partment and Mr. Hlmms and till
nata having a bearing on tho pro
ceedlngs havo been assembled. It
was understood tho nttoruey general
Planned to go over the papers dur
lng the next few days.
Palmer Ui Remain Silent.
Whllo f)mo officials thought It
possible that further action by
Judgo Anderson might warrant the
attorney general In making public
a statement of his position "on all
phases of the proceedings," the
opinion was expressed that unless
tho Judgo hlmsolf throw additional
light on U10 proposed inquiry, air.
Palmer would remain silent.
Although In no way connecting
the Slmms controversy with matters
to be Investigated by Judge Ander
son, Mr. Palmer mnlntnlned that his
position with respect to using the
coal conspiracy evidence a second
time was 'the only right and proper"
position to take. Ho wns repre
sented as feollng that to use tho evU
denco In tho forthcoming ease would
amount substantially to placing tho
defendants twice in Jeopardy.
Officials admitted tho expectation
tonight thnt Judgo Anderson, acting
on his own Initiative, would call for
Introduction of this evidence.
