By EDWARD E. BRITTON. (By Special Leased Wire.) Washington, June 17. Cumulative evi deace ihowt that there it real trouble between Harding and members of the Senate ai to patronage. They way the President ia handing this out to his personal friends, the big hit already grabbed off by Marion and the rest of Ohio, and the ""butting in" of cabinet officer! in handing out fat slices of pie ia Tariout States which Senators feci should I. distributed by them, the "hold up" "t iii'imr ti'i'iB in the Sen ate, all i-i. : ;.. i i. linger to grow ing resentment on the rnrt of Senators. And over in the House there are Rep resentatives who feel the 'same way, while State "bosses" are wondering what they were mnde for. Next year the Republicans will have to fight to hold the majority in Congress and the feeling is that appointments ought to be divided eat so at to get the best re aults. Defenders of the course of the President are declaring that appoint ments made are based on merit and the desire of the President to give the best possible service to the country, but when there is asked the reason for the Harding personal Brigadier General Sawver, for the Marion "tmall town" Banker Crissinger as comptroller of the eurrency, and such like cases there comes . science, Senator Capper Joins Kickers. Another kicker st nominations made bv the President now arises in the per son of, Senator Capper of Kansas. He hat requested the President to withdraw the nomination, of Major Robert G ray Teck. infantry, to be lieutenant colonel Senator Capper's objection to Major Peek ia for the alleged attitude of that officer toward officers and men of the thirtjr-8fth division, a division eompoaed almost entirely of men from the na tional guard of Kansas and Missouri. Directly Senator Capper charges that following an .inspection of the division "arm ire dayi in too hottest fighting ia the argons forest drive Major i'eck used toward them moat grossly insulting language. Senator Willis is still fighting mad at the Charles H. Nauts nomination, be cause of his "personal objections'' to his fellow Ohioan, and Senator Borah as well at various Republican Senators who have big numbers of negro voters in their bailiwicks are wanting the Presi dent ta haul down the Linney flag, a red flat- in the face of the negroes, be cause of the anti negro attitude of Frank Linney in North Carolina, while Senator Hiram Johnson is still' about the Dave Blair nomination. Hardine? Backed Hayaea. Incidentally President Harding ia now beirg announced as the real backer of Roy Haynes as prohibition eouimis c.sioner, that he gave the word to Bee retarv of the Treasury Mellon and Com missioner of Internal Revenue Blair to appoint him, that ho bore the Harding approval. And the negroet are still prodding President Harding about the register of the treasury, which they insist should be a negro, following the nrecedent of other Republican admims tratienac They are backing Charles Cot trell. ranked as a leading negro politi cian of Toledo, Ohio, and reported as one of the main lieutenants of Attorney General Dougherty.

' Southern Power Company De nies Effort To Have Steam Plants Scrapped (irec Bsboro, June 17. But little ex itement was caused in Federal court here today as tho trial of the case of the North Carolina Public Service Com pany and the citiet of Greeiitboro and High Foint against the Southern Power Company crept forward. Judge James K. Boyd, presiding, had announced that all the time neceosarv wilt be taken n hearing everything that Here is to be heard about the case nnd the at torneys socm bent on having him hear the wholo thing from a time when the North Carolina Public Service Com pany was not even a vision instead of reality. W. 8. Lee, vice president and cliici' engineer of the Southern Tower Plant wat put tin the stand early this morn ing by attorneys for the defendant com pany and was kept there throughout the day byng directly ei '.mined by W. S. O.B. Ro'innn until jut before the court adjourned late this afternoon when A. K Brooks began a volley of questioni in the crott examination. The cross examination tended to show that the Southern Tower Company had never done a general retail business in either Carolina! until it decided to compete with the North Carolina Tub lie Rerviio Company and had received franchise nt Salisbury. Mr. Brooks also had Mr. Lee confess thnt the South ern Tower Company hat its lines ex tended on Spray in an effort to refute the arguments made by the defense that their lines had been built here for the sole purpose of furnishing power and current to the two cities. Tragi cally all of the questions throughout the day were either of a legal or tech nical nature and the ansvrers more or less format and expected. Judge Boyd was not called upon to decide a single moot question except at to objections which were compirativcly few. Tretent indicntioni are that tho hesring will hst for several days na but little has been dono in far. '1 he hearing will atart again tomorrow morning. Tho firtt thing taken np by Mr. Robinson this morning was the tub- mission of a contract executed by the High Tolnt Electric, company and the Southern Power company in ID08 fof power and current. Mr. Brooks, oh jetted and Mr. Robinson put Mr. Ie on the ttand to prove thnt tha contract wat the bona fide agreement between the two companies. Mr. Lee tettified that the contract which was handed him Wat the nne which had been executed between th! two eompaniet and pronounced the signaturo of O. N. Richardson, tho sec retary of the High Point Eleetria com panyi predecessor to the North Carolina Public Service company, genuine. Further examination followed during which time a number of letters from Mr. Richardson to Mr. I-ee regarding the building of a line to High Point by the Southern Power company were read. A number of letters dating from arly in 1908 to the later part of the year were read and offered ae evidence. The burden of the letters and of that part of the testimony offered by the vice president of the defendant com pany tended to show that the Southern Power company had not foreed or. de manded the High Point Electric com pany to dismantle its old tteam plant but on the other hand tint U. is. Kieh ardspn, secretary of the company, had made numernai often to dismantle and sell the equipment for what Could bo realized from it.
