DAWES T0 ADDRESS BAY STATE PATRIOTS Will Attend Lexington-Con- cord Battle Celebrations as President’s Representative. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Vice President Charles G. Dawes will next addre the country in Massachusetts, when, on April 18, he will attend the Lexington-Concord battle celebrations as the represent- ative of President Coolidge. His remarks on that occasion will be primarily of a historical and Da- tlotic character, but no one Wwho knows Gen. Dawes expects them to be confined to that. If, as now seems probable, it is the Vice President's first public utterance since he planted a depth ch underneath the United States Senate on March 4, it is regarded as a foregone conclusion that he will return to the issue there so explosively raised. Overwhelmed With Praise. The Vice President's office is @sluged with communications from the country regarding his frontal atto - on senatorial procedure. They are erwhelmingly com- mendatory in nature. Scores of them are invitations to speak in various parts of the Union. They have arrived by telegraph, by mail, by lon telephone and_in the for ) pal calls. Gen Dawe been left in no doubt that he put finger on a spot that Americans were waiting to touch, and touch with a vigorous hand. Newspaper_editorials, Republican, Democratic and Progres- #lve thought, join in the chorus of epproval. Only one outright con- @emnation of the Vice President has rome to light—in_the columns of a Richmond, Va., Democratic organ. Many papers which commend the meat of Dawes' speech deplore its manner, especially the manner of its dellvery. But, with the exception of tne paper just mentioned, none ques- tions the justification of the Vice President’s position or wastes pity on the Senate. representing “Dawes Plan” Election Issue. This writer learns in a qualified quarter that it has already been de- termined to make the “Dawes plan” an issue in the 1926 senatorial elec- tions. As usual, one-third of the Sen- ate will be elected next vear. Sena- tors who may come up for re-elec- tion include (Republicans) Bingham, Cameron, Cummins, Curtis, Dale, Ernst, Gooding, Harreld, Jones, Ladd, Lenroot, McKinley, Rice, Moses, Nor- beck, Oddi Pepper, Shortridge, Smoot, Spencer, Stanfield, Wadsworth, Watson, Weller and Willis. Demo- crats who may again be candidates in 1926 are Broussard, Caraway, Fletcher, George, Overman, Smith and Underwood. The progressive West and Northwest are conspicuous among the sections which will elect Senators next year, and, if the plans of those who espouse “senatorial reformation” are carried out, it is in those regions particu- larly that the “Dawes plan” is likely to be a paramount Issue. Senator Curtls of Kansas, the Republican leader of the Senate, will be up for re-clection, and, as the chairman of the committee on rules, it may devel- op that he would bear the brunt of the fight. Seen as Inter-Republican Fight. In the first instance, it would be an inter-Republican fight at the prima- fes. 1f an anti-reformation Repub- can should be nominated in any giv- en State, the Democrats, who already on the still-hunt for an issue in may adopt the “Dawes plan” as st promising campaign mate- 192 the Failing to Master His Fear of Death, Student Is Suicide Leaps Six Flights From Dormitory Room at Columbia University. By the Associated Pres: NEW YORK, March 10.—Henry Mead, a graduate student at Columbia University, was unable after 12 years to conquer his fear of death, 50 yes- terdy he killed himself, leaping to the street from the window of his dormi- tory room on the sixth floor of Hart- ley Hall. He had received the degree of Ph. B, at Brown University in 1922, and was studying for a dootor's degTee in dramatic literature. He had registered home addresses at both Fall River, Mass., and Brooklyn. He was 25. Mead left four notes behind. One addressed to Dr. G. Alfred Lawrence, & neurologist here, said: “You have fafled.” Another, addressed read “You might try to console your- self with the knowledge that I con- sider tHis act necessary for my hap- piness, and that whatever pleases me would be pleasing to you.” Dr. Lawrence described Mead as possessing two conflicting personal- ities. One was distinguished by high hope and ambition, the other was a “fear” complex—a dread of death before his time. The police found three bottles of a poisonous liquid in Mead's room. which led them to believe he had considered suicide by poisoning before he finally decided on the window. His cot was in disarray, as if he had tossed on it most of the night, fight- ing out his last decision. — to “my mother,” rial in sight. Much water will flow beneath the bridges before then. No Democrat in prominent position has yet breathed anything but fire and brimstone in the direction of Vice President Dawes' demand for senato- rial reform. Gen. Dawes will return to the an- cestral heath when he goes to Lex- ington and Concord in April His great-great-grandfather rode with Paul Revare on that immortal horse- man’s hike. The towns reproduce the ride at an annual celebration. Three vears ago they urged Dawes, then di- rector of the budget, to come to the region, impersonate his ancestor, Gen. William Dawes, and ride in the procession. Declines the Invitation. The Vice President-to-be, who is more at home on a plano stool than in a saddle, declined the invitation to win equestrian glory. He said: “My ancestors in New England would turn in their graves if they ever thought I would dare impersonate them, and they'd keep on turning if they imag- ined I would ever do so on horse- back.” (Copyright, 1925.)

NEW YORK, March 10.—The pasty face of a gray-haired man s the prin- cipal clue police have to the latest of the series of jewel robberies perpe- trated upon women who frequent the cabarets of Broadway. Mrs. Beatrice Perkins, 24, from whom three masked burglars took gems valued at more than $25,000, early vesterday, after they had en- tered her apartment and bound and beaten the woman and Milton Abbott, her companion, told the police that she had caught a fleeting glimpse of the face of a man, “apparently a drug addict,” when his handkerchief mask had fallen. The robbery, similar in its execu- tion to those of “Dot” King (Keenan), Loulse Lawson, Avonne Taylor, Mrs. Willlam J. Fox and Edith Bobe, might have resulted as fatally for Mrs. Per- kins as it did to “Dot” King and Louise Lawson, both of whom were killed by robbers who are thought to have trailed them from the Broadway pal- aces of light where they lavishly dis- played jewels While the men were attempting to subdue her, Mrs. Perkins said, she kicked one in the stomach. He pulled the trigger of his gun, but it missed fire The victim who was beaten into insensibility and threatened with tor- ture by fire until she disclosed the hiding place of her jewels, was in a highly nervous condition today as a result of her injuries and the shock.
