PRESOENTLHELY T0 AVOD FIEHTS Will Not Take Up Issues Pressed by Predecessor, Observers Believe. The procotol providing for adher- ence of the United States to the world court is now before the Senate foreign relations committee. Presi- dent Coolidge may let it rest in com- mittee. If he does not press for ac- tion on the procotol, the ate for- eign relations committee, headed by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, and with Senatbrs Borah, Hiram Johnson, Mo McCormick, Brandegee and W worth, all opposed to the court, or lukewarm to it, as members, it ic expected the procotol will be buried. While President Coolidge’s views in the past have been favorable to in- ternational agencies for the preven- tion of war and the promotion of world pea he has not gone ¢n record in any public utterances as be- ing in favor of the adherence of the United States to the world court If the procotol is aliowed to sleep in the committee, the next republican national conventton will decide whether it shall put a plank in_the republican platform proposing adher- ence to the court by the United States. In_ other words, there has been no referendum to the party or to the people in general on the question of dherence of this country to the court now established. Has Threatened Split. Tt is a fa however, that the question of the world court has threatened a serious solit in the re- publican varty, a snlit that republi- cans generally are anxious to avoid Many of the republican leaders are urging that the soft pedal be put on the court question for the present Of course, some of the democrats may well he the committee on foreign r take action on the protocol ations and re- ort it to the Senate. A motion to discharge the committee may be ade so as to bring the measure fore the Senate. But the Senate s it will be c ituted can be saf relied upon, it is said, to prevent tion on such a motion and to defeat it if it ever comes to a vote. The talking abilities of the anti-leaguers, who are also the anti-court group, has been demonstrated in the past It i& true that the President might even withdraw the protocol from the Senate. He has that right. But it is not believed that he will follow such a course. Hix Slate Is Clean, There is a f: ng here that President Coolidge comes into the presidency with no preannounced policies and with no apologies to make. So far as he is concerned the slate is clean. He has the opportun vrite his own record. He has mad any close political intimact n in Washington, So far as policies are oncerned it is believed that Mr. Coolldge will follow the example of Vice Presi- dent Roosevelt, when he suceeded to the presidency on’ the death of McKinley. Mr. Roosevelt may have and undoubted- iy ‘did adopt some of the polict his lamented predecessor, but the slo “my policies” was read into the pol nomenclature of the country President Roosevelt for election as the of his party in 1904, There has heen no definit ment by President Coolidz: but these he has indic s after the interment of the late ent when ention nominee sibitities not _pres that President in the Coolidge will next Congress contro- versial matters that originated with h predecessor. In other words that hi administration will be marked as dis- tinctively by policies of his own crea- tion as was the administration of Roose- velt in the sccond term. Nomination Predicted. In Washington today the nomina- ion of President Coolidge In the re- publican national convention. less than a year away, is being confidently predicted wherever politics s dis- cussed. This is in marked contrast to the current comment of a week or so ago. The republican politicians were more or les Massachusetts governor even for Vice President. Now these same party leaders are looking hopefully Into the future, and many of them are openly ing the conviction not only that President Coolidge will be nomi- nated in the republican convention, but that he will prove unbeatable at the polls. These prophets are counting on an administration at the White House which will in all essential matters commend itself to the American peo- ple. They have met Coolidge at a moment when great responsibilities were unexpectedly thrust upon him, and they have found him unafra/d and prepared. CHINESE ASSAILANTS OF U. S. SHIP EXECUTED Drunken Official, Refused State- room, Ordered Bodyguard to At- tack, Says Captain’s Report. BY JAMES L. BUTTS. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1923, SHANGHAI, August $.—Further de- tails of the boarding of the American steamer Alice Dollar by Chinese sol- diers at Icmang and their subsequent capture by American bluejackets, state that a drunken Chinese official, accompanied by sixteen bodyguards; went aboard the steamer and de- manded a statercom. The aged Chinese compradore told the official there was no room available. Capt. Tornroth, commander of the steamer, attempted to mediate and the Chinese official ordered his guards to attack the captain and crew. In the firing which ensued Mrs. P. €. Windham, wife of the Robert Dol- lar Company, agent at Ichang, was wounded slightly in the breast, her daughter badly wounded in the throat, and Mrs. Thornoth, the captain's wife, on both sides of ‘the neck . Meanwhile Windham, who was on the ship, signaled with the whistle to the flagship Isabel of the American Asfatic fleet, and a boatload of blue- jackets was sent to the rescue. They boarded the Alice Dollar and captured the Chinese official and his body- guards, - who were ordered held by Admiral Phelps.

Gather Early in Dayy. The great throng, drawn from Nomes in all parts of the District, and Qumbering thousands of out-of-town | persons, began to gather at 9 o'clock this morning, although the first ob- jective of most of them was to witness the funeral procession. It was evi- dent, however, from the look of grim Qetermination on the faces of many, that they had come primarily to pay their last respects, to the body of the late President. Fearful questions were asked con- stantly of the police, some of whom Seemed unable to answer the inquiries, especially the women. One member of the = metropolitan police force Standing at eDlaware avenue and B Street mortheast, seemed to answer all questions by shouting, “Beat it! Beat it! Don’'t you know what that means? Beat Members of the Marine Corps, on the other hand, were ever courteous and were the reciplents of many words of thanks and pralse from the men and women in the sweltering ranks. m. here Crowds Press In. After the crowds around the sides of the Capitol grounds had about settled themselves, after much mill- ing around, marines called for them to “come forward,” and the crowds broke ranks and swarmed farther in toward the Capitol at the side of the road through which the funeral ass. cortege was to Tho Senate office building at Dela- ware avenue was thronged with people, among them being & small girl. bearing a huge pair of binocu- lars, through which she watched the passing of the procession.

Desptte the intense heat, men blocks away removed their hats throughout the passing of the procession, and many held their hats over the heart as the bier of the late President came within the range of their vision. Move in Reverence. It was a democratic crowd that surrounded the Capitol, and it is this same democratic gathering, composed of old, young, men, women children of all Taces, seemingly, of all colors, of all conditlons of life, all passing quletly into and through the Capitol to gaze for a brief instant upon the dead chief.

By the Associated P CHARLESTON, o Results of vyesterday’s August 8.— municipal primary here, which was held under | will | the protection of state troops, not be definitely known until the of- ficlal count of the ballots by the executive committee on Friday, it was indicated today. With three boxes uncounted because of alleged technical irregularities, however Thomas P. Stoney, solicitor of this circuit, had a lead of 392 votes over Mayor John P. Grace, who is seeking a third term, according to the un- official count, which gives Stoney 6, 542 to 5,590 for the incumbent. Fifteen out of twenty-four candi- dates for alderman, who appear to be nominated on the present returns, ran on the Stoney ticket. Two of them are women. Mayor Grace has refused to concede defeat, although he has not claimed that the uncounted boxes will change tthe present standing. About 120 challenged votes are to be disposed of by the executive committee. Disorders incident to the primary, which followed a campatgn that was described as the most bitterly fought | in recent years, were of no impor- tance, belng confined to a few per- sonal encounters. The state troops, from the first battallon of the 118th Infantry, South Carolina National Guard, patrolled the streets about the voting booths last night, and two ma- chine guns were mounted in front of the Hibernian Hall, where the returns were received. The troops are still on duty, this morning, and it is understood, aithough not officially confirmed, that local offi- cials have requested Gov. McLeod to allow them to stay on duty until after the final count of the ballots Friday. DUBLIN DOCK STRIKERS RAID LABOR CONGRESS Delegates Barricade Doors Until Police Drive Disturbers Away. By the Associated Press. DUBLIN, August 8.—A party of 160 men, sald to be dock strikers, today successfully rushed a side door lead- ing to the grounds of the Dublin Mansion House, where the labor party trades union congress was in session. The congress immediately adjourned and the delegates barri- caded the doors with chalirs. The po- lice arrived quickly and kept the crowds away from the doors while the session was resumed. The president of the congress an- nounced that the disturbers had been told they must make their requests by letter. They were refused ad- mittance as visitors and later left the grounds peacefully.

By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 8.—A thousand bells, united in solemn ca- dence, this morning told the mourn- ful story of the sorrow of Cleveland at the passing of President Harding. A million Clevelanders paused in’| their pursuits for five minutes and bowed their heads in silent grief while the air was filled with the slow knelling. A proclamation of the mayor, ask- ing their city to unite in honoring the late President'’s memory, requested that all churches toll thelr bells for five minutes, starting at 10:30 o'clock this morning, and again for five min- utes Friday afternoon during the fu- neral at Marion. The spirit of mourning will be in- tensified by somber drapings on all public, semi-public and downtown buildings until sunset Friday. All large downtown stores will close their doort all day Friday. The Masons will hold a service of prayer Friday afternoon. Seven commanderies of Knights Templar will attend the serv- ices in full uniform. Special services have been an- nounced in both Catholic and Protes- tant churches on Friday, in compli- anee with the request embodied in the mayor's proclamation.

In fact, his condition” on the return to his S street home was pronounced by Dr. Grayson to further indicate the grad- ual and_steady improvement in the | former President’s strength. “Mr. Wilson is stronger today than {he was a year ago,” Admiral Grayson said.

BOSTON, August 8.—A message of sympathy from the Methodists of New England to Mrs. Harding was sent by L. O. Hartman, editor of Zion's Herald. The telegram follows: “In behalf of Zion's Herald, official organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church in New England, and its constituency of 900 clergymen and 140,000 lay mem- bers, I desire to express my sympathy in your recent bereavement. We are profoundly grateful for the large serv- ice rendered the nation and the world by President Harding In his many suc- cessful efforts to uplift humanity and to spread righteousness among the na- tions.

But over the lintels of the four goors, which lead to the north, to the south, to the east and to the west, hang somber bands of crepe a custom come down from the ages, to show that death has been within. And in the center of each lintel there hangs a golden N, and a scarlet E, and a pure white S and a deep blue W. The N symbolizes the north, and the gold the north star; the crimson E is for the east, which mourned when the sky was scarlet with the rising sun; the pure white S, for the south, which mourns at midday, and the deep blue W for the west and the dusk, when the west will mourn as the sun goes down.
