INJURED IN ATTEMPT 0 MAKE ESCAPE Alleged Accomplice to Auto Theft Not Injured by I. W. W. Beach, N.D., Aug, 13.—Wenver Douglas of Glendive, Mont., was not injured through being thrown from a freight train by I. W. W., as he at first told authorities, but received his injuries while trying to board a moving freight in the Bench yards with a view to riding to Glendive, according to the story which author- ities say they eventually obtained from Weaver. Questioned, Weaver admitted he had aided Harry Thompson, sought by police on the charge of stealing an auto from Beach, to realize the latter's wish to be joined by his wife. According to Weaver's story, he and Thompson autoed from Glendive, Mont., to a farm near Carlyle which Thompson had previously rented, and Weaver conducted Mrs. Thompson a short distance to a secluded spot, where her husband awaited her in the auto. Thompson and his wife, ac- cording to Weaver, then motored to Casper, Wyo, while Weaver took a train from Carlyle to Beach. Thompson was later arrested at Casper, Wyo, and an alleged accom- plice in the auto theft, Jesse Douglas, into the fanctioning of the ¥8% arrested at Billings, Mont. Au- thorities allege the Beach auto was hidden on the farm rented by Thomp- son near Carlyle. The auto was found abandoned in rough country near Carlyle, while authorities were un- able to find Thompson and Jesse Douglas. Montana authorities allege the au- to driven by Thompson from Glen- dive and then to Casper was stolen.

This tomb is situated in Lacka- laenga, Skaane, the’ most southerly province of Sweden, and-until a short time ago it lay buried beneath ten different strata of eath. Built of large stone slabs, it has a central chamber about ten. feet by five. Around it is a circular pavement of slabs, from which radiate 4 number of curious walks marked by stones, A considerable quantity of human and animal bones were found, together with flint daggers‘and spear heads. But the most interesting discovery was that of about 7,000 fragments of ornamented vases, which had been thickly strewn outside the tomb.. The shattering. of these. vases probably took place, according te the archeolo- gists, in connection with heathen re- jigious ceremonies... The shaping of the. weapons end the ornamentation of the vases indicate an advanced civilization, The Lackalaenga tomb is estimated to be about 4,000 years old, but the Swedes have evidence’ tnat their countty was inhabited at least 1,000 years before this tomb was built. A skeleton of that pértod, now on ex- hibition in Gothenburg, ‘was found in an ancient oyster bed, magy. miles 5 inland-from the present seacoast, ata point from which the sea began’ re- ceding during the Stone Age, SLEEPS ON TRACK; KILLED yn, N, D,,; Aug, 13.—Panl Spaulding; 16 f Luverne, Stecle county, was run id ‘Killed by ‘9: Great Northern Springbrook. -The, takedi to the b Spaulding. was one of the six high school boys from Luverne omplouae by @ track crew of the Great ‘No: ern’ at Springbrook.

Coolidge himself. Take the word of his old teacher. George D. Olds, now president of Amherst College, was professor in mathematics back in 1891 when Mr. Coolidge, then 19, entered college. “He was class humorist on gradu- ation day in '95,” says Dr. Olds. “I remember well the humorous speéch he delivered in the grove, giving full play to his whimsical gift of lan- guage. “ “It is the custom for members of the alumni who are grouped around to heckle good-naturedly the efforts of the speaker to be humorous. It -requires mental agility to keep ahead of their shafts and sallies. “I am sure classmates and mem- bers of the alumni recall how well he acquitted himself.” Dr. Olds says he remembers the day the future president of, the United States walked into: his class- | room for the first time—because the student had a shock of red hair like the professor's! “Calvin was not a brilliant stu- Aug. 13.—Calvin Yes, President | a GEORGE D..OLDS dent, he said, “It took himga long time to grasp a subject, but when he did it was in his hehd to stay.” BY HARRY B. HUNT. NEA Service Writer, Washington, Aug. 13.—A_ stocky and broad-shouldered man in a square-eut business suit, ruddy of jface, gray of hair, with a bristling gray mustache showing rather chftk, full lips and with keen gray eyes shining through heavy lensed glass- es, is Calvin Coolidge’s right-hand confidant and counselor, During the press of evertts crowd- ing his first day in office the new presi- dent has conferred with cabinet mem- bers and public offiicials concerning the arrangements for President Harding's matters of administration that have had to be met, But whatever con- ferences ‘he has held with respect to administration policies and the course he is to follow as chief ex- ecutive of the nation, have been not with the politicians and cabinet of- ficials, but with the broad-shouldered, gray-haired Boston business -man— Frank W. Stearns. Stearns is one of the few men who really know Coolidge—who have broken through the crust of sil- ence and reserve which encases this silent president from New England. And he is the man to whom Coolidge looks, more than any other, for sane, disinterested, nonpolitical advice, College spirit is back of this friendship. Although Stearns is 67 to Coolidge’s 61, they were first drawn together by mutual love of their’ alma mater, Amherst College, from which Stearns graduated in the class of '78-and Coolidge in ’95, For years the bigger New England funeral and on routine | College Ties Bind Coolidge and Friend, Picked As “Colonel House” Of New Administration FRANK W. STEARNS. colleges had monopolized Republican officeholding in Massachusetts, Stearns, as an active and ardent Am- herstite, and as an Amherst trustee, didn’t like it. He looked about for ‘an Amherst man who could break the ice and he found ‘Coolidge, then a member of the Massachusetts Senate. Stearns already has heen labeled the “Warwick,” the “Mark Hanna,” the “Col, House” of the Coolidge ad- ministration. But he doesn’t mind it. He’s putting Amherst College on the map, PETROGRAD 70 BE RESTORED TOIMPORTANCE Efforts to Make City Gate- way of North Russia Reval, Aug. 13.—Soviet Russia’s ef- fort to restore Petrograd to its form- er importance as the gateway to North Russia is having a detrimen- tal effect on the ports of Helsingfors, Reval'and Riga. The Moscow govern- ment is diverting all possible busi- ness to Petrograd, and is making im- | | directly in front and secpre levels. while’ provements in the harbor to enable large ships to enter with safety as they did in the days before Bolshe- vism worked ruin to the port which has lain idle for so long. The Moscow government holds no Kindly feeling for Latvia and Esth- onia, and naturally does not care to have the.ports of Reval and Riga continue to be gateways to Russia, as they were in the days of the czar. Ice troubles are far less in Reval and Riga than in Petrograd. Bolshe- vist efforts to keep Petrograd’ open through extremely cold weather have not been very successful, and the Russian government was very unhap- py over the necessity for shipping a large amount of American Relief Administration supplies through the Ports of the new Baltic states rather than through Petrograd. A recent census in Petrograd show- ed the city now has over half a mil- lion inhabitants, This was some- thing of o surprise, as it was at one time believed to have fallen to’ 300,- 000. But the housing conditions are 80 good there, as compared with con- ditions in Moscow, that the popula- tion of Petrograd which remained in Russia is apparently drifting back to the old capital. Zinovieff, the head of the Petrograd soviet and chairman of the Third International, is making # vigorous effort to bring Petrograd back. Odessa and the oth- er Black Sea ports are being neglect- ed in favor of Petrograd. pe ISIE LNG : CAVALIER HAT The cavalier type of hat turned up i a with 2 fancy pin is seen in the smartest millinery éxhibits, LARGE © CANADIAN One ‘basket, weighing a 2 basket lots or more ~ pal exptess, BOOSTS SHOW COMING HERE Advanee Agent Asserts That People Will Make No Mis- take in: Seeing It “You'll make no mistake in seeing ‘Shuffle Along, said Harry Suther- land, advance agent for the big mus- ical jazz show that is coming to the Auditorium on September 6 opening the theater season in Bismarck.

Bismarck will be the smallest city in which the show has played during its long run. “We recently played four weeks in Los Angeles, the only show that has done that in years,” said Mr. Suther- land. “We received great crowds and wonderful prdise in San Francisco and other big coast cities.” The show, he said, carried 59 peo- ple, of whom 51 ae negro entertain- ers. A 10-piece orchestra, composed of a white director and nine negro jazz artists, accompanies the show. Shuffle Along was the first big negro musical production ever played on Broadway.
