In this conncetion he has said on several occasions that he wants to obtain the services of the highest type of men and women in making local appointments and not to be guided by at least not to any great extent. On the other hand, those who have heen urging the President to appoint a deserving Republican to succeed Judge McMahon emphasize the fact that President Wilson, who appeint- ed Judge McMahon, gave no thought at the time to the appointment of a Republican and, most important of all, the salary, $5.200, is 100 attractive te on a Demo- crat,” as the it. Has Few Callers. President’ Coolidge made few en- gagements today and there were necessarily few callers at the White House. The President desired this extra time to himself to give his at- tention to routine business. He received I3. A. Bancroft of Chi- cago, whom he recently appointed as Ambassador to Japan, and James R. Sheffield of New York., who, at the same time, he appointed Ambassador 10 Mexico. The latter will leave for his new post October 1. Ambassador Bancroft will leave a week later. Before sailing the two new Ambassa- dors will confer with Secretary of State Hughes and will again call upon the President. Secretary of War Weeks brought the world fiyers to the White House to be formally received by the Presi- dent. May Announce Speeches. President Coolidge today took up the matter of making some political speeches, and it is thought likely that the White House within the next day or so will make an announcement of his tentative program. Probably with but one or two exceptions these cam- palgn, utterances of the President will be made right here in Washington, most likely to gatherings in the rear grounds of the White House. Clofp friends of Mr. Coolidge, as well ds his political advisers think that he should make speeches at fre- well as his political advisers, think he should remain silent for any great length of time. They have pointed out that while the dignity of his office should be religiously observed and that the people cannot help but appreciate his close application to the arduous dutics of his office, the electorate generally expects to hear from the head of the Republican ticket every now and then. In respone to these overtures the President today consulted the list of invitations, and there {s quite a bun- dle of-them, to select from among the number several to accept. Many of these are from groups and organiza- tions, national in their character, which have sent invitations asking the President to come to them to make a speech or else to set a date for them to come in a body to the White House to hear him. Has Work to Do. In the meantime the President ex- pects to remain close to his desk and confine himself to the work of his office, the seeing of callers and the stady of the more important prob- lems of the day. Among the latter will ‘be the study of the sugar re- port made by the Tariff Commission. The President will take part in the official review of the Defense day parade Friday, although he will not make ‘a speech on this occasidn.

By the Associated Press, WATERTOWN, N. Y., September 10. —The crowds attending the New York state fair at Syracuse were given opportunity .today to hear Senator Whecler, independent vice presidential candidate. - He' left Watertown for Syracuse early today. At Watertown last night he dis- cussed the tariff. ~The Republican and Democratic differences on tariff policy, he said, were disappearing because of the Nation's industrial evolution. “The immense size of our domestic markets, the feasibility of quantity production, the low prices and high wages, and like factors,” he added, “are operating to move the last shadow of real. fundamental differ- ence that once lay between Democracy and Republicanism, and the situation now is that Wall street can say to the people that whoever loses the sham battle between the old parties, it wins.” ! —_— HOLY NAME PLANS GIVEN T0 CARDINAL Director of Society Apprizes Prelate of Details for D.

Maj.

At this conference a showdown on the number of visit-| ors to be expected in the Capital| and the number that will participlate | in the parade, a survey will be made | of the route of the parade, the street railway requirements and what police service is needed along the line of march, at the stands and in Union Station. Marshals Instructed. At an important meeting in the convention headquarters last night more than 50 marshals of the Wash- ington section in the parade, repre- senting almost as many Catholic parishes, received instructions as to the line-up they will have in the parade. Maj. Eugene Edwards was in_charge. While the official program is held up temporarily pending the return of Mgr. Ripple from Boston, it is pretty well agreed upon now that Arch- bishop Curley, the official host of the convention, will administer the bene- diction service on the Washington Monument Grounds, after the parade on Sunday evening, September 21. Advices received today from West- ern Maryland leaders show that three special trains will bring the visitors from that section, all centering in Cumberland. One of these, which will bring the delegation from West Vir- ginia, including Wheeling and the mountain towns, will leave Cumber- Jand at 1 a.m. on Sunday, September 21. The two others will leave at 8:15 and 8:30, 50 as to get the crowd here in time for the parade. Rt. Rev. Constantine Bohacevsky, D.

The invitation was extended today by a committee composed of KEugene E. Thompson, Judge Isaac R. Hitt, Charles F. Roberts and A. G. Reager. The more than 25,000 Masons in the District will be personally notified of this service and it is expected that there will be a large attendance. Bankruptcy Plea Filed. The District Supreme Court was asked today to adjudge bankrupt the National Electric Sales Company, at 213 John Marshall place northwest.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily Nows. GENEVA, September 10.—The first concrete step in the effort of the League of Nations to claborate a new charter of world peace will be taken late today, when Iaul Boncourt pre- 'nts, in_commission, France’s pre- tentious peace plan, which henceforth will inevitably form the basis of dis- is believed that the support of the little entente, Belgium and Po- land to this plan already is assured, and as the French delegation is by far the most powerful and most bril- liant France has sent abroad since the war, @ considerable number of other delegations may be persuaded to the French viewpoint. The chiet opposition Is expected from Great Eritain, supported by IHolland, Italy and the Scandinavian countries, but the personnel of the British delega- tion as weak as the French is strong, and the French have every advantage. France's Supreme Effort. This indced is France's supreme effort to take the leadership of peac and no pains are being spared to in sure success. The French delegation is the only one at Geneva which re- ceived the press daily. Every ae- credited pr writer of whatever nationality is weleome, and light re- freshment frequently. The French views are presented by Sena- tor Henry de Jouvenel. wh; tact, sympathy, wit, intelligence and journalistic utility are unique in the history of post-war press conferences. debate in the assembly has closed, and henceforth all attention will be fixed on the triple problem of arbitration, sccurity and disarmas ment. Delegates who are still not cog- nizant of the French plan are looking forward with intense interest to to- '8 meeting of the comn.ission, for it is realized that nothing less than the future of Europe is at stake. (Copyright, 1924, by the Chicago Dally News is ¥ PLAN ARMS PARLEY. League Delegates Propose World- ‘Wide Conference. sociated Press. « G EVA, September 10.—Follow- ing out the idea that the League of ations is a mechanism for holding successful international conferences, officials already are directing their thoughts to plans for a great inter- national gathering for the reduction of armaments, which, it 1s expected, will be held at Geneva within one vear. The officials point out that the league council has nothing whatever to do with the deliberations or the conclugions of the ¢ ference, once it is started. When the assembly gives the word, the,couneil will appoint a subcommit- tee to make necessary arrangements and issue invitations. The question of American participation is causing increasing interest and comment. The most general opinion is that the United States naturally would want to take part in the naval arlnamn‘l}! phase of the conference, although it might be desinclined to participate in the discuesion on reduction of land maments. This is regarded here as a peculiarly European question and es pecially so if the limitation of land arm- aments is linked up with a pact of mu- tual 3 . S. to be Invited. Although the United States is not a member of the league, no objection is seen by the league people to in- viting the Americans. They point to the active American co-operation in framing the draft conception of in- ternational control of the traffic in arms as an example, and how the United States joined in past league endeavors to solve the problems con- nected with the reduction of arma- ments, and they remark that in this case the United States is even offi- cially represented in the league com- mission’s preparatory work. The arms traffic convention has not reached the stage of an interna- tional conference, but the disarma- ment commission is expected soon to convoke it. Once the arms control conference is called, it passes out of the domain of the league, although league experts continue to offer their services. A similar system, it is ex- pected, will be applied to the general conference on disarmament. FLYERS STAYING HERE TO FLY IN DEFENSE DAY PARADE FRIDAY (Continued from First Page.) fuselage frame of alloy steel. The fab- ric on the wings, however, has been put through a severe test, and the greatest trouble the pilots have with spectators is to prevent them from “thumping” on the wings. Continuous tapping and patting will break it through, they argue, and once there is a hole the pub- lic will rush for strips of the linen for souvenirs. This they've found through experience. Recognized on Street. As the pilots rode through the streets from their hotel to the Muni- tions building this morning they were recognized everywhere by pedes- trians and motorists. Lieut. Nelson was bare headed, his cap having been either left behind in the New Orleans or Wat. Gen. Mitchell endeavored to obtain one for him but he declined, preferring, he said, to expose his partly bald head to the sunlight after having had it tightly covered for 0 long. The fiyers plan to spend most of the afternoon at the field working on their ships and then return to their hotel to preparé for dinner at Gen. Mitchell's house tonight. Wade and Arnold are particularly anxious to have a few hours to themselves at the post to look through the piles of maii they have received und to check up on the articles they sent back to the field from many points around the" globe. Planes on Exhibition. Except for periods when the fiyers will be working on their planes the now historic craft will be on exhibi- tion at the field for the remainder of their stay here. They were out on the line this morning under heavy guard. It was stated at the fleld there arerxer:'regululonn for the pub- lic to foll such as hours for see- ing them. Lieut. Smith and Lieut.

MONTPELIER, Vt., September 10— —Ernest W. Gibson of Brattleboro, republican representative from th second Vermont district, was re- nominated yesterday, defeating John W. Gordon of Barre by 3,700 votes out of a total of less than 19,000. For the Republican nomination for governor, Franklin K. Billings, the present lieutenant governor, with a vote of 29,000, defeated Roland I Stevens of White River Junction b three to one. The Republican nomi- nation for lieutenant governor went to State Senator Walter K. Farns- worth, who defeated State Senator J. Gregory Smith. Representative Gibson's act in vot- ing to override P’resident Coolidge's veto of the soldiers’ bonus bill had been used as a campaigin argument against him. . Other than this no issues raised had any bearing on the national campaign. GEORGIA PRIMARY TODAY. Democrats at Polls to Choose Con- gress and State Candidates. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga.
