The prince, capti- ated her voice. sat down with Gen. Trotter and listened to five songs, showing his appreciation by applatding heartily. 1t has been remarked throughout the voyvage that the prince is a great lover of music and that he is partial to American jnuzz. Several times he has expressed his appreciation of the playing of an American jazz orches- tra on board.

He had beep given some idea of the mass of papers and business which has accumulated during his absence, and he was eager to get at them, as he expressed it, and dispose of them as quickly as possible. The President showed benefits of the change and rest and the nearly two weeks of simple life in the village of his boyhood. His vacation worked wonders in the physical appearance of the Execu- tive. His face looked fuller, his color was much better and his eyes have assumed a new bright- ness. The President said to those who greeted him upon his arrival that he felt fine, and he looked it. There also was no mistaking the President’s anxiety about his-job, as he so frequently refers to the business of being President. He intimated today that he will give practically his undivided attention to the business of running the Government. The only interrup- tions to this plan will be discus- sions from time to time regarding political matters and the conduct of the national campaign. { When asked whether he would go to Plymouth again next Sum- mer, he replied he undoubtedly would, or at least hoped so. Besides the routine business awaiting his attention, there were numerous callers at the White House, but few of these were given audiences, inasmuch as the President had a cabinet meeting scheduled for 10 o'clock. The train carrying the presiden- tial party arrived at Union Station this-morning at 7 o'clock. Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge, accom- panied by their son John and C.

L. E.

F. Colladay, president of the Washington Board of Trade, who outlined the purposes of the De- fense day test, told of plans made and working in certain communities.

After reading resolutions passed at the recent encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, placing the G. A. R. wholeheartedly behind such a defense test, he went directly to the attack on the Daughters of the Confederacy, and confined the re- mainder of his brief remarks to it. Sees Patriotism Prevented. While the defense test plans are going_on, he said, there is a force in the country which is not patriotic and is doing things to prevent the spread of patriotism. This organi- zation, he said, is the Daughters of the Confederacy, and he said that he had examined the list of patriotic organizations which were to par- ticipate in the meeting and he failed to find the name of this organiza- tion. “The Daughters of the Confederacy does not preach patriotism,” he charged. “It is even engaged in defacing the face of nature by | placing on the face of Stone Moun- | tain statues of men who sought to rend the Nation in twain. If defense means anything, it is time to forget the mishap of years ago. “I honor the men of the Confed- erate Army. It is all right for them to get together in their meetings and preserve the comradeships of the days of the Civil War. I be- lieve they are right in holding such meetings. “But I do not believe that the Daughters of the Confederacy has any righ to attempt to get the effigies of its commanders on the coins of the United States, for those who fought against the Nation have no right to have their faces on any colns of the country. We are doing our level best to defeat such a thing as this. ‘Time to Forget, He Says. “Some people are not able to for- get and forgive for the things that happened years ago. But it is high time now for them to forget that there is but one flag and that is the flag of the United States.

It is charged that Capt. Bakesy, otherwise known as “Capt.

Domination Is Charged. Witnesses for the defendants, among whom are Lieut. J. H. Sprin- kle of the Metropolitan Police Depart- ment, three former deputy United States marshals and eleven others made a strenuous effort this morning to show that Capt. Bakesy had held John J. Hickey, former Government “informer” and self-styled salesman, under his domination. While this effort was fruitless, it aired details of “wild parties” held at Wardman Park Hotel staged to gather desired information to com- plete the case against a “rum ring. Responding to a question. Golding made this answer just before he stepped off the stand: ‘Prior to this inquiry, Bakesy re- ceived a sum for his expenses from Commissioner Haynes, and 1 suppose that this might be called through Commissioner Blair.” The Government rested its case with Golding's testimony. Defense attorneys immediately began a vig- orous attack to strike from the rec- ord copies of the indictments which were the basis of the hearing. Motions Are Overruled. Motions by Attorneys James A. O'Shea and William k. Leahy to strike the copies of the indictments from the records were overruled and exceptions were noted. Then Leahy moved to dismiss the proceedings. Commissioner Turnage announced he would listen to argument.
