P.)—The funeral train bearing the body of Calvin Coolidge, Jr., younger son of President Cool- idge, reached here &t 7 o'clock Eastern Standard Time for services in the Edwards Congregational Church. This city, nestling under the shadow of Mount Tom, halted business and traffic for its, last tribute to the President's son. President and Mrs. Coolidge and their surviving son, John, left the train shortly after arriving and went to the Coolidge home. There they were met by Col. John C. Coolidge, father of the President, and Mrs. Andrew Goodhue, mother of Mrs. Coolidge. Col. Coolidge had come from his home at Plymouth, Vt. and both he and Mrs. Goodhue will accompany the residential party to Plymouth where Calvin Coolidge will be bur- ied later in the day. It was also planned by the President to have his father return with the family to the White House. ‘ The casket under a new cover of fresh pink roses, placed there this morning, remained in the compart- ment of the president's coach, the last in the special train, when the funeral accompanied it from the station. Church bells tolled. All of the President's immediate family rested comfortably on the all night trip.. Five minutes after arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, dressed in deep mourning with John, left their-coach to go to the old home. Silent Groups Gather Silent groups gathered along the railroad track and stood uncovered as the train came up the Connecti- cut Valley into Massachusetts. Fac- tories stopped work and employes stood at attention. Northampton was unusually quiet. The President had asked that thé services here be observed with sim- plicity and the home folks sought to comply. Business was stopped by official proclamation, between 8:30 and?10:30 o'clock standard time when the funeral procession and services were under way. Main street was devoid of traffic. ta Train Moves The funeral train left here for Ludlow, Vermont, at 10:30 a. m.

EXPERTS HOPE FOR LESS RUST IN NO. DAKOTA Black Stem Rust Has Not Yet Made Appearance on Spring Wheat, College Finds WINTER ‘|1and’s great runner, Paavo IN WHEAT Late Record For Inifial Ap- pearance of Rust in Win- ter Wheat Is Set RUST FOUND Fargo, N. D., July 10.—Wheat «stem rust in the red stage was discovered for the first time this year on spring wheat at the North Dakota Agricultural col- lege plots, L. R. Waldron, plant breeder, afinounced yesterday. It’s too late to do any. material damage, he believes, and, there is not much of it in evidence. Stem rust was discovered June 29 last year—10 days earlier. Fargo, N. D., July 10.—Black stem rust of spring wheat has not yet been observed in North Dakota des- pite the fact. thatthe crop is a week farther along than when the first reports of rust were received a year ago. This is the report -of authorities at the North Dakota Ag- ricultural college, who are optimis- tic regarding prospects for a light rust year. The diseases was found on winter wheat July’8'by L, R. Waldron, plant breeder ‘at the‘agricultural college, but a careful search at that time and during the present week has faijed to reveal any signs of infec- on on spring wheat. Little im- portance is attached to.the appear- ance of rust on winter wheat, as the acreage of this crop in the state is very small, and rust has always been a miner damage factor for winter wheat in this locality, according to the authorities. A record for late initial appear- ance of black stem rust in North Dakota has been set this year, ac- cording to Wanda Weniger, plant pathologist of the North Dakota Experiment station, who has records for the past five years showing that hitherto the disease has always made its appearance on spring wheat some time in June. When First Observed “Black stem rust was first ob- served 6n spring wheat June 29, last year,” Miss Weniger declates. “In 1922 the disease was observed June 26, 1921, June 13, 1920, June 22 and 1919, June 6. We have no records available prior to 1919. Earliness of the initial appedrance of rust, coupled with favorable weather for its development, are the most im- portant factors dgtermining the amount of damage caused to the spring wheat crop. “The fact that the rust has not yet made its appearance at this time, July 8, which is nine days later than the appearance last year, gives an optimistic outlook’ to the prospect for little damage from rust. Of course the crop is later . this year, but it is not as late as the Last year the black stem rust made its appearance when the wheat was in the boot stage, according to Miss Weniger, while this year varie- ties. of wheat which have been head- ed out for a week on the experiment- al plots at the college do not show the disease, ‘en Another Disease Another disease, leaf _ rust’ of wheat, is often confused with the black stem rust,“Miss Weniger ‘de- clares. “Leaf rust is making its appearance on wheat,” she says, “but this is an entirely different disease and in previous years has eaused comparatively little damage.: The pustules or lesions produced by the leaf rust are reund or ova} in shape and are orange-red in color. The first pustules of the black stem rust are about one-eighth of an inch long and scarcely wider than the thickness of a fingernail. First infections of both diseases appear on the. leaves of the wheat plant,” No rust infections have been found on barberry plants in Notth’ Dakota this year, according to George C. Mayote, state leader. in barberry eradiestion. “Only barberry sprouts have been found so far this year by the members of the field crew,” Mr. ,Mayoue’ reports, “and (Continued on page 2) GREAT FINNISH RUNNERS DOWN YANKEES’ BEST United States, However, Still Leads in Points Scored in Olympic Games SHATTERED 2 RECORDS Nurmi, Finnish Star, Stages Double Victory Over Other Nations at Colombes Olympic Stadium, Colombes, France, July 10.—The United States had an imposing point lead over Finland at the end of today’s final events. The point score was: United States, 177; Finland, 103; Great Bri ain, 46%; Sweden, 24/2; France, 13%, ; Switzerland, 10; Hungary, 7/2; South Africa, 5; Norway, 4; New Zealand, 4; Denmark, 3, and Canada, 2. Olympic Stadium, Colombes. France July 10. (By the A. P.)—Despite the spectacular double victory of Fin- Nurmi, who won the 1,500 and 5,000 meter runs in the Olympic record time, the United States increased its point lead over the little Scandinavian na- tion on the fifth day of the Olympic competition by winning both the pole vault and hammer throw. Nurmi and: Ritola outclassed the field just as the former had spread- eagled the opposition earlier in the afternoon in the 1,500 meters. Edvin Yde of Sweden set the pace for five laps, but cracked as first Nurmi and then Ritola took turns in setting a dizzy clip. Fifteen hundred meters from the finish he apeared to have shaken off Ritola Sut Willie Ritola put all he had in the finish, pacing stride for stride to the tape but lacking just a fraction of the speed néeces- sary\to overtake the winner. America had some consolation when John Romig, former intercollegiate cross-country champion, beat out. Si of Finland for Fourth place. Romig ran well but like the rest of the field was not in the same| class as Nurmi and Ritola. Oiympic Stadipm, Colombes, France July 10. (By the A. P.)—Pabbo Nur- mi, the Finnish whirlwind, started off one of the greatest bids for Olympic fame any athlete ever at- tempted in a single afternoon today by running away with the 1,500 meter race in the new Olympic record time of 3 minutes, 53 3-5 seconds. The other task Nurmi set for himself was winning the final in the 0,000 meters. g Taking the lead in the 1,500 meters before the first 200 meters were cov- ered, Nurmiaset his own pace all che way, breaking the heart of the Amer- ican star, Ray Watson, the A. A. U. half-mile champion, who cracked af- ter running on the heals of the Finnish ace for 1,200 meters.

Walsh Declines APPROVED BY DAVIS Close of Democratic Conven- tion Finds Much Different Spirit From Earlier Madison Square Garden, New York, July 10.—With John W. Davis, of West Virginia, chosen as ft standard bearer and Governor arles W. Bryan, of Nebraska, as his running mate, the Democratic national convention brought its tempestuous - sessions to a close early today. Breaking down the deadlock that had gripped the convention tenaci- ously through more than 100 bal- lots, the convention named _ its presidential choice at the after- Noon session, and selected its vice- Presidential candidate in its last session at 2:30 a. m. It was only after a record shat- tering convention that the Demo- cratic national ticket was named. Nominated on the 108rd ballot in the final dissolution of the deadlock which had kept the convention bal- loting for ten days, Mr. Davis be- gan his service as the leader of his party by unsetting precedent and addressing the convention at its evening session and then going into conference with convention mana- gers over choice of a nominee for vice-president. Davis Approves Bryan Governor Bryan was chosen for second place on the ticket. after his. friends had placed before Mr. Davis and conferees an argument for selection of a western man of proved executive capacity, familiar with agriculture and in sympathy with the liberal sentiment of the country. The nomination of the Nebraska ‘overnor, who is a brother of Wil- iam Jennings Bryan, tock only one allot. The word that the leaders wanted him nominated was passed quickly about the convention hall and although active campaigns had been made for several other candi- dates the result was not long in doubt. Mr. Bryan was declared nomin- ated at 2:22 a. m., Eastern daylight saving time. Then after a few last minute formalities the convention adjourned sine die at 2:24 a. m. And the delegates for the: last time filed wearily out of the old Garden where their nerves had been frazzled and their patience worn out by the more than two weeks of the most stirring scenes in all po- litical history. The story of the nomination of Jchn W. Davis, as told by, the of- ficial figures, is a record of the unwavering support of a handful of men and women from far and ter the 1,500 meter run was United States 138; Finland 83. The Swiss Star, Scharer, the dark horse of the race, came from behind and beat out Stallard, the Britisher, for second place by a few feet, 20 meters behind Nurmi, Stallard, ex- hausted by his efforts, collapsed after crossing the line and it was several minutes before he was revived. Lowe, the British star, and two Americans, Ray B. Buker, Illinois A ©, and Lloyd Hahn, Boston A. A.. also closed with a rush that cartied |, them past the fast-tiring Watson and they finished q that order for the remaining places. Nurmi, timing his own race with his famous Stop watch simply won as he pleased, proving himself with- out peer at this~ dis!ance. MOTOR RACES ON PROGRAM FOR N, D. FAIR Fargo, N.

Strack was “appointed a deputy marshal June 1, 1922, folloying two years in the office of the U, 8. attorney. near, who never lost faith that he could and would be the choice of his party. Native Son Wins Throughout the long deadlock the backbone of his strength was the little delegation of his native West Virginia, but there never was a time after the first ballot when the 16 votes of the West Virginians were not at least matched in the Davis column by those that came in driblets from other delegations. Almost from the first Porto Rico’s six went in whole or in part to Davis. For many weary ballots Louisiana stood solidly behind him when the pressure’to leave his trail- ing banner was strongest. And it was the united voice of the delega- tion from. Maryland, speaking through Governor Albert C. Ritchie, that signalized the final turning of the tide. : On the opening ballot more than a week ago, only 15 votes beside West Virginia’s were cast for the future nominee. Of the total of 31, Porto Rico contributed 5, Hawaii 1, Pennsylvania 4, Minnesota 1, and (Continued on page 2) f Weather Report | ee For twenty-four hours ending at hoon. ‘Temperature at 7 a. m. .

J. Glover of Toronto, speaking last night before the Philadelphia Clin- eal Association and the Clinical Society of the National Stomach Hospital, said he had isolated the or m which caused cancer, told of successful tests and said he hoped to be able to immunize human be- ings. 7 According to Dr. Glover, the can- cer organism is a bacillus, occurr- ing singly, in pairs or in chains of three or more. He has been able to isolate it from every type of hu- man tissue and grow it in special media, using it to produce cancer in animals and to develop an anti- toxin fyom young, healthy horses. Drs. M. T. Warmuth and James | T. Donnelly of Philadelphia told of their experiences with the serum, In extreme cases, they declared, little could be expected of the serum as it was not.a cuge byt a treatment. Up to May first, 1924, they said, 84 humans had been treated. Of these 25 died, four showed no im- provement, 38 were improving and 17 were free from all symptoms of the disease, some for as long as a year and a half. A number of Philadel- phia physicians and scientists cau- tioned against hasty acceptance of the serum as a permanent remedy.

The department of — agriculture’s first forecast of the season, issued late yesterd placed total corn pro- duction at 2,515,000,000 bushels. An unusually cold May followed by an ex ely wet June were tes: ponsible for the low condition of corn, but were decidely favorable for wheat, oats, and barley, which show. a decided improvement in prospect over a month ago. Wheat Forecast Increased Wheat production forecasts were increased 47,000,000 bushels over June predictions, with a total crop of 740,000,000 bushels now indicated, while the forecast for oats jumped 124,000,000 bushels to — 1,356,000,000 bushels. Smaller crops than last year of white and sweet potatoes, tobacco and apples are’ indicated, but barley, rye flaxseed, rice and peaches production will be larger than last year, Wheat stocks on farms on July 1 were smaller than a year ago and _ less than the average for that date during the previous five years. World wheat production reported to date was announced as 1,555,000,000 bushel, compared with — 1,647,000,000 bushels last y for the same coun- tries which produced nearly half the wheat of the world outside of Rus- sia.

Va., July 10.—The Wfool friends” of John W. Davis were rejoicing today. They saw him started on the way to the White House, a path they had been blazing for four years. That Mr. Davis declined to take an active interest in their campaign to make him president disheartened the “home town club” not a bit. Its members kept plugging away, booming Davis week after week and today his neighbors surveyed the result of their persistance with entire satis- faction. As the nominee of the Democratic party they have invited him back home for a Celebration and at a re- hearsal last night staged a demon- stration in his honor, comparable to: political rallies of a decade ago. When the news was flashed that Davis had been nominated, the town called it a day and celebrated. Whistles blew and church bells rang. Bandsmen left their work hurried- ly, obtained their instrpments and started a parade. Hundreds fell in line, some walking, others in auto- mobiles, up and down the streets they went, yelling, singing and shouting, their numbers always in- creasing. Meantime active preparations were under way for a more formal demon- stration at a “Davis rally” on the courthouse plaza. at dusk. The demon- stration had its prelude in an old- fashioned political parade with the marchers carrying banners and red fire torches. In it were civic organi- zations, patriotic societies, men, wo- men and children, all Davis boosters. The demonstration continued far in- to the night. Bonfires were lighted on neighboring hill sides and the fireworks display rivaled that of the recent Fourth of July celebration. The town was in gala attire to- day. All buildings in the downtown section were decorated with flags and bunting as well as many houses in the residential sections. Among them was the Davis homestead where the Stars and Stripes appeared short- ly after news of Mr. Davis’ nomina- tion was received.
