1 and recreation before he takes up . seripusly Ihe responsibilities of his

cominer^dministration. Altho his mind already is at work

.upon the preliminary details of his ' first administration policy, a plan for a new association of nations, Mr. /Harding does not propose to let the task interfere with his outing. He has asked several leading statesmen to ptepare their views op. the sub­ject fot" him, but his first conference to receive advice will not take place Until alter he returns to Marion, abouj Dec. 6.

Of First Coiicern. ThS president-elect has made it

» known that a compilation of opin­ions on: the association of nations proposal will be his first concern in preparing for his responsibilities at Washington, taking precedence even over his choice of cabinet. Cabinet appointments, he has announced, will riot* be given any thought at all during fats Tac&tlojt. - • v The special train carrying1 Senator apd ^lifrs. Hardlhg and their party left SJarlon at 7:30 itfeis ; morning bound fdr Point Isabelle, near the southern tip of the Texas . coast,

-where the president-elect will spend '. twelve days hunting and fishing.

* A,fter thq.t he is to make an ocean voyage to the canal zone and then back to a port on the middle-Atlantic coast. He wilf speak; tn "Bedford, Va., on Dec. 5, and will go im­mediately from there to Marion. <

flaking the trip south by way of Si Louis and San Antonio, the sen­ator's train will reach Brownsville, Tex., Monday morning and the party

-will motor from there to Point Isa-belle, twenty-miles away.

Guests of Mr. and Mrs. Harding on the trip were Harry Daugherty, man­ager of the Harding pre-convention campaign; Senators Freylinghuysen, of New Jersey; »Hale, of Maine; .El-kins, of West Virginia, and Edward B. McLean, the Washington pub-lislior*

His secretary, George B. Christian, vJi\, and his family physician, Dr. C.

E. Sawyer, and a ' group of secret service men and newspaper men also were on the special, train.

Ask Big Men to Conference. Mr. Harding already has begun

fulfillment of his campaign promise to consult the ration^ leading minds with regard to a neW\assoclation of nations, and he liopes that by next

'March ho vill have l$id the ground­work of a plan behind* which the sen­timent of the nation can unite.

The announcement followed a long conference It etwee Senator Harding and Will H. Hays. Neither revealed jvhat subjects thcv discussed.

Mr. Hard'ng's Statement. The plan for conferences on an as­

sociation nf nptior • was revealed to this armorneemet from Mr. Hard­ing's office:

"Senator Harding let it be known .today that ho !s sending out a num­ber of requests for personal and in­formal confarancer. with men and women who have been eminent in the discussion of our foreign relations. These, conferences will take place upon his return to Marion in Decem­ber and will be individual and per­sonal, with the main purpose of learning what policy may^enlist united support.

"Senator Harding means to avoid any unseemly anticipation, but he feels it wholly becoming to get an expression entirely free from cam­paign bias and to get, it at the earli­est possible day. It is the first step toward the meeting of minds of which Senator Harding so frequently spoke during the campaign. He did not make public any list, because it will not be complete before his vacation ends.

"Senator Harding' further an­nounced that no consideration would be given to a cabinet during his rec­reation period."

No Names Mentioned. . Altho the president-elect has never

named publicly' any of those he will Include in his consultations, specula­tion of a wholly unauthoritative char­acter has resolved persistently about a number oi^eonspicuous figures who might answer to the description Mr. Harding has laid down.

has carried frequently the names of sudh republican senators as Lodge, chairman foreign relations commit­tee; Kpox, a former secretary of state and a treaty1 irreconcilable; Johnson, another irreconcilable, and Lenroot, a leader of the reservationists. .. On the democratic side there has

By Associated Press.

Washington, Nov. 6. -L President Wilson is understood to have no In­tention of pardoning: Eugene V. Debs, who is serving a ten-year sentence in the federal penitentiary at Atlan\p. for violation of the espionage act.

The position taken by the presi­dent, according to those who profess to know his view,^ is that executive clemency in sucK *a case would set a bad precedent and would encour­age others to oppose the government In the event of another war.

Debs was convicted at ^Cleveland on Sept. 12, 1918, on three counts, a jury finding him guilty of attempting to incite insubordination ' and dis­loyalty In the military and naval forces, attempting to obstruct recruit­ing, and uttering language tending to Incite, provoke and encourage re-si stence to the United States, and to promote the cause of the enemy.

A pardon for Debs and others con­victed of violating the espionage act has been urged by a number of or­ganizations, including the American Federation of Labor, which, at its last annual convention at Montreal, Canada, authorized a committee to confer with Attorney General Pal­mer on the matter.

Much Against Wishes of Sportsmen 800 Acres of Land Reclaimed.

Special to Times-Republican. Jefferson, Nov. 6.—The drainage of

Goose Lake In this county which was vigorously op nosed for .years' hy sportsmen. Is nractically completed and will add 800 acres of rich farm land to the county. Many Interesting discoveries were made by the engi­neers ensraged In the work. It was always maintained by the sportsmen that( the bottom rff the lake was fill­ed with sand andx gravel. This was^/jot the case. There was scarcely any sand or gravel found. It was also feared that several feet of peat would be found which would make the land valueless for farming. An aver­age of one foot of peat was dis­closed and engineers say fhls will dry up and be carried away. The bottom of the lake Is covered with several feet of «ich loam and below that clay.

The cost of draining the lake wa=: 575,000. It Is already 'tiled, tile of sizes from 30-lnch to five and six-Inch tile being used, so that if the state decides to sell the land the new owners will have to lay only ,a few laterals.

Engineer Melson found that there is no legal description of the lands with­in the meandered water line, and therefore no corners from which to lay lines and has written to the gen­eral land office at Washington for information as to how to proceed.

From an engineering point of view one interesting thing dtsclqped waa> the truth of the scientific declara­tion that the proper size of tile Is In inverse proportion to the grade or pitch at which it is laid.
