Function” Says Pres-

. ident '

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.—-—Wash-
ington officialdom is wondering to-
day what the Senate will do now that
President Coolidge has thrown down
the gauntlet in the fight over the
ousting of Secretary Denby. Plalnly
it's the Senate's move.

The Senate by a vote of 47 to 34
adopted a. resolution last night re-
questing the President to -demand
the immediate resignation of Denby
as Secretary of the Navy.

The President immediately ac-
cepted the Senate challenge. In an
official statement issued from the
White House he said he would not
demand the resignation of Secre-
tary Denby. as requested by the
Robinson rmolutiou. In domg so
the President said:

“I shall not hesitateto call for
the resignation of any official whose
conduct in this matter in any way
warrants such action. The dismis-
sal of an official of the Govern.
ment such as is involved in this case
other than by impeachment is ex-
clusively an executive function."

The instant defiance of the Sea-
ntc by the President naturally
caused a sensation. Mr. [‘cnby
himself did not appear to be dis-
turbed by the action of tho Smate.
which was most unusual in many
respects.

immediately after passing of the
Robinson resolution the Senate cm-
phasizcd its act by putting through
51 to 25 a. motion directing the
secretary of the Senate to ttansmit
without daisy the demand for Mr.
Denby's resignation.

 

 

 

The Robinson; riotous; in which“

the Benet. voted its lack of con-
ndcnco in the naval Secretary was
signed by the President pro tom. of
that body and delivered to the
White House before dinner time.
Senator Brandcgee of Connecticut
voted against the resolution.

In passing the resolution 65 De-

mocrats. 10 Republicans and 2
Farmer—Labor Senators voted in
tho affirmation. One Democrat.

Bruce of Ohio voted agatmt.

PLEA FOR PEACE

H‘opes America W i1]
FollOw Ideals of
Emancipator and Fix
Standards of World

NVASHINGTON, Feb. I 2.-—-The
capital‘s celebration of the birth of
Abraham Lincoln centered today in
a memorial program in the House.
The Senate was in recess in observ-
ance of the day. and a. number of
its members took part in various ex—
ercises arranged by the schools and
the patriotic and other organizations.

Calling upon the “influence of
America and the spirit of Abraham
Lincoln." to lend "the nations of the
world from the hatrcds of the
past and the selfishness of the pres-
ent to the dawn of a. brighter and
better day." Representative Rath—
bonc of Illinois. the memorial speak-
or in the House. described the “’ash-
ington arms conference as "epoch
making" and sugegsted that further
bounds be set "to the insanity of na-
tions in piling ever-higher and higher
the expense of armaments.

“Just as Abraham .Lincoln has
more than any other statesman set
the moral standard for men." he
declared, “so we hope and believe
America, more than any other land.
will fix the moral standard for all
nations."

Recalling that his parents "were
the young engaged couple, Major
Rathbono and Miss Harris. the
daughter of United States Senator
Ira Harris of New York. who drove
that fateful night of April 14. 1865,

 

 

 

coin in the carriage to Ford‘s‘thca-
trc. and sat with them in the box

short the life of the president," the
we. recited many intimate inci-
dents in the life of Lincoln.

"I am able to say with the 'ut-
moat assurance of truth and Judging
from the words uttered by Lincoln
in the presence of these persons in
his last hours," said Mr. Rathbone.
"that his grczft heart held nothing
but kindness and good will toward
all his countrymen. and that in his
last moments he was looking for-
ward with the highest hope to an era
of happiness and prosperity for all
his beloved people. north and south
alike."

ile laso displayed two cherished
Lincoln relics. having made a trip
to Chicago to bring- them here for
the occasion. One, a letter written
by Lincoln to a political friend
shortly after his defeat by Douglas
for the Senate in 1858 predicted that
he would sink out of sight political-
ly. But he was glad he had made
the race because of the opprotunity
given him to champion principles in
which he believed. The other was
a copy in Lincoln‘s handwriting of
his favorite poem. "Oh. \V'hy should
the spirit of mortal be proud."
which, according to the story that
goes with it. was his oniy source of
comfort while he grieved for Ann
Rutledge.

position ofler of John Singer and

usual interesting round of activities
and is in, the midst of a very suc-
cessful winter term. The outdoor
activities of autumn have given
to indoor basketball and other events
of the winter schedule.

Recent events at the school have
included an entertaining and instruc-
tive talk on "Our Solar System" by
Dr. Edward Bigelow, editor of “The
Guide to Nature" and head of the
'Igassiz association~ and a very valu-
able and amusing talk by Arthur
Delroy of New York. on Psychic
Phenomena and the Development of
Personality. -

The basketball _season opened
January 19 .with a game with the
Mcriden High school team and Hill-
side played the Bridgeport High
s'chool girls‘ team on the 26th but
was defeated both- times by the su-
perior. skill and experience of the
two teams. Saturday. the Bill-
side girls played the tea from
‘Wykeham Rise of W ington.
Conn" and by effective team play
won the game with a. score of 29-25.
The victory was well deserved and
was especially gratifying .bcccuse of
the losing light which til? team had
waged earlier in the season. After
the same. the Wykcmn team and a
number of the other pupils of the
school together with Miss Davin. the
