PRESIDEN1WANTS THE
HARVEY CONFIRMATION
Senate to Act on St. James Am
I bassadorship and Shipping
Board Monday
WASHINGTON, March 12. Plans of
senate leaders to end the special sej
slon today were overthrown by a com
bination of further delays at the white
house and' capitol affecting important
appointments on which the adminis
tration wants "action before adjourn
ment. ... '
Failure of president Harding to
send in his nominations for the ship
ping board is understood Jx have 'been
the principal barrier for bringing, the
session to a close. . It was indicated
that the President was having dim"
culty in inducing some of the men he
wants to laccept,. an toih he and the
leaders in congress are anxious to have
the appointments made -and confirmed
before tb,e senate quits.
while .it waited for the shipping
board nominations the-senate board
heard also .that .Mr. Harding might
ask It to pass Judgment before ad
Journment on the nomination of .Col
George Harvey, the New York editor.
to be .Ambassador to-Great Britain
Selection of Colonel Harvey is under
stood to have been definitely . decided
on, and although Mr. Harding was not
ready to transmit the nomination to
day, the Republican managers In the
senate received advance Information
of such a positive character that
they conducted a poll of the foreign
relations committee on' the question
of confirmation.
Still another cauue ror prolonging
the special session was provided by
Senator LaFollette, Republican, wis
consin, who objected to Immediate
consideration of the nomination of
former Representative James J. Esch
of that state to a member of the Inter
state Commerce commission. Under
the senate rules the nomination sent
from the white house yesterday had to
be put over until Monday.
Meantime the senate cleaned tip most
of its slate or accumulated noihlna
tions, votinj confirmation of a number
sent in earlier in the week - and- -of
several that Mr. Harding submitted to
day. Mark Potter, whose- nomination'
to the Interstate Commerce commis
sion, was sent to the senate along with
that of Mr. Each, was one of those
confirmed. Amoni? the .selections su
mitted by the President during the day
and favoratrty acted on by the senate,
were William W. Husband, of Vermont,
to be commissioner-general of imml
gration; Harry H. Billany, of Dela
master-general, and cari Mapes, of
Michigan, to be solicitor of the bureau
of internal revenue..
Word that the President mieht ask
for early action on the nomlnatidn of
Colonel Harvey came as a surprise, the
general explanation .here having been
that all diplomatic appointments would
be put over until the session that Is to
assemble next month. John W. Davis
the retiring ambassador at London, is
on his way home, however, and it was
indicated that Mr. Harding had about
decided it would be unwise to leave the
post vacant until congress re-assem
bles.

Plans for Acquisition of Historic
Battleground Have Been
v Prepared
(Special to The Star)
WASHINGTON, March 12. Plans for
the acquisition of the historic battle
field at Manassas, Va., were formally
launched at a meeting held in Wash
ington, March 5. A charter was ap
proved under- which the project will be
incorporated.
The first object -of the incorporation
will be the purchase of the Henry
farm, contract for which is protected
bv nn ODtion at th mtrchasa nrlee of
25-000- Money will then be raised for
monuments and suitable markers to be
placed upon .spots historic and sacred
to the south. .
The charter provides for the usual
corporate officers and a board of di
rectors composed of a representative
from the United Confederate Veterans,
Sons of Confederate Veterans. United
Daughters of the Confederacy, the
Confederate Southern Memorial associ
ation, and one from each southern
state, including Missouri. Maryland
and Kentucky. The respective gover
nors, in the the absence of legislation
are, by the charter, authorized to name
the state member of the board. Thus,
it is seen that the promoters of the
project seek to make the park a memo
rial to valor and a center from which
will radiate a fair,, truthful and full
history of the two great battles fought
upon that ground.
The charter authorized the board to
accept markers or monuments offered
by any state or organization, thus
making It possible for northern states
or union army units to mark spots of
peculiar Interest to the north.'
MaJ. E. W. Ewlne was elected presi
dent of the corporation; Capt. West
yfooA Hutchinson, commandant, Man
assas camp, U. C. V., waa named as
treasurer; E. H. Blalock, commandant,
Washington camp, Sons of Confederate
Veterans, wag made vice-presidentj and
J. Roy Price, editor of the sons de
partment of Confederate Veteran Mag
azine, was chosen as secretary. The
project Is to be congratulated on these
selections. Major Bwlne was for years
historian-in-chief of the sons organi
zation, and for many years has been
one of the most favorably known at
torneys of Washington, D. C The
south will recall him as the author of
"Northern Rebellion and Southern. Se

strongest defenses of secession extant:

TWO FOR A QUARTER EGGS
Old high cost of living Is slowly but
very, slowly making its way down from
the breezy perch that it has occupied
in Wilmington during the past two
years.' But, after all. things of this
kind do not -happen in a day. Cloth
mg prices tumbled to approximately
one-half of their war costs some ime
ago. The prices of foodstuffs have
been red&ca lome&jaj, but in many
instanees'Mlie euts llleJbeen hardly
noticeable. Rents, however, have
stood and ar now standing firm as
ever, although! there are rumors that
there Is tS "bea deollne soon.
An announcement of 'a reduction' In
the cost of living that will be pleasing
to all, especially those persons who
take their rnels lp cafes and res
taurants, is Wat jupt made by Jack
Newman, propfietorjb Newman's cafe,
on Princess street. The menu in this
eating place shows that numerous
dishes have recently been cut as much
as 85 per cent. This has been ma-d
possible, it is understood, because the
wholesale dealers have -declined their
prices.
For Instance, all fish dishes at New
man's are being offered cheaper than
formerly. Orders . of shad "and trout
that have cost 65 cents are now being
served, for 50. All vegetable dishes,
Including corn, green peas, lima beans,
etc.. have been reduced from 10 to "15
cents. All soups have undergone a
reduction of five cents on the order,
they now being served .for 15 cents.
A number, of reductions are also notice
able. ,ln thev special dishes.
