S MRS COOLIDGE SEES SON'SHONOR Sits With Calvin’s Class- mates as Portrait Is Un- veiled at Mercersburg. By the Associated Preas. MERCERSBURG, Al Calvin Coolidge, wife of the President, yesterday sat with the Mercersburg Academy former school- mates of her son Calvin, Jr., who died last July and saw them unite in honoring his memory as that of “an ideal American boy. The tribute was paid in the un- veiling of a portrait which tonight took its place @mong those of the most representative boys of Mercers- burg. Only a year ago, in the cere- monies which marked the graduation of Calvin's oldest brother John, the serles was started, and among the paintings already upon the walls is one of Dr. Joel Boone, the President's physician and a member of the class of 1909. The boys of Mercersburg also join- ed in offering their respect to Mrs. Coolldge, not as the lady of the White House, but as the mother of their former schoolmate. In an unan- nounced ceremony, the members of the class of 1925, the class of which Calvin was a member and with which, had he lived, he would be gradunted tomorrow, presented Mrs. Coolidge with a watch. It had been planned to present the gift at the public ceremony at which the portrait was unvefled, but the plans were changed and the presenta- tion took place privately in one of | the school buildings, with only the members of the class of 1925 and a Pa., June The watch was presented by Theron R. Grecn of St. Louis, one of the leaders of the class and a former friend of the President’s son. It was brief and simple, little more than the short presentation speech by the schoolboy. Praises Former Schoolmate. “Upon the eve of the departure of the Mercersburg Academy class of 925 on their various ways In lif said the speaker, “it seems fitting that some public acknowledgment be made of the lasting impress of the influence which the sociation with Calvin Coolidge, jr., leaves upon every mem- ber. His scholastic, moral and spirit ual example will never be forgotten | nd his memory will ever be cherished as long as any member of this class shall live. In testimony of the love we bear his memory we present this memento to the one nearest and dear- st to him in life—his mother.” { Surrounded by the boys, Mrs. Cool- idge witnessed the unveiling of the portrait. Throughout the service she kept her seat, and at its close walked from the gymnasium with a group of former classmates of her son. The portrait during the ceremony | occupied the center of the stage, | covered by an American flag which, | in the unveiling, was drawn back by Mrs. William Mann Irvine, wife of the headmaster, showing the boy seated in thoughtful pose. It bears this in- scription: “Calvin Coolidge, jr., class of 1925. An ideal American boy, a much beloved Mercersburg son. Brief addresses were delivered by former . William C. Sproul, who presided; Dr. Robert Bridges, editor of Scribner’s Magazine, and Dr. Ir- vine.

BALTIMORE, June 3,—Dr. Joseph S. Ames, acting president of Johns Hopkins University, announced yes- terday that a research institute de- voted to study lems involved in the scientific phe- nomena of life is to be established at the university. It is 'to be known as the Institute for Biological Research, and will be under the direction of Dr. Raymond | Pearl, now professor of biometry and vital statistics in the Johns Hopkins School of Hyglene and Public Health. Establishment of the institute has | become possible, the announcement said, through financial support from the General Education Board and the generosity of the Rockefeller foundation. Associated with Dr. Pearl will be a staff of biologists and biometricians Who will devote their entire time to research on general problems of biol- . but with especial attention to “the biology of life duration and its control.” The success of preventive and curative medicine in prolonging life and relieving suffering has been nota- ble, Dr. Ames said, but the maximum life span is being in nowlise extended and is perhaps becoming shorter. He continued “There is every reason to bejieve that as we gain in knowledge of the underlying biology of life duration it will eventually become possible to lengthen the span of life and not merely raise the average age of the living, which is all that s0 far been accomplished. In fact, work already done in Dr. Pearl’s laborator ma s fairly shadow how this lengthening of the life span can be brought about.’ Dr. Pearl was selected to head the institute, it was said, because of his long activ'ties along this line and his wide expcrience in the application of biological investigation to human life problems.

When citizens left their homes going to business these armed civilians sta- tioned at street corners advised them to return home and remain indoors during the day. The surprising fea- ture of the whole proceeding was the alacrity with which the _citizenry obeyed. Venturesome individuals hav- ing military passes exempting them from curfew and other martial law re- strictions were informed when they ap- peared in the streets that the passes were invalid, and that they must se- cure spectal permits from military headquarters, which they naturally could not reach. As soon as the foreign office—which was as much surprised as anybody to find the city closed—was able to com- municate with the military commander special passes were obtained for min- isters, foreign consuls and newspaper men, Who had been isolated, since the cutting off of communications included telephones. Telegraph offices remained open, however, and those who were able 'to reach them found no censor- ship up to 8 in the morning, when the telegraph employes were immured in their offices. One Shooting Reported. About the time dilatory risers were rubbing their eyes and wondering what had happened, house-to-house searches started. Though the civillan guards maintained strict discipline and per- mitted no infractions of orders they were invariably courteous. The only shooting reported was in the western portion of the city, where an armed suspect attempted to escape. Members of the Chamber of Depu- ties directed the search of the hotel in which the writer was staying. The search was largely perfunctory for holders of foreign passports, but the baggage of Bulgarian guests was minutely inspected. In the outskirts of the city, bizarre cights were to be seen. The roads were choked with peasants bringing the usual produce to the city—all held up by the guards. This caused a shortage of greenstuffs in most homes. Passengers on incoming trains were permitted to alight and were es- corted to their hotels under guard. Those having reservations on depart- ing trains were consoled with infor- mation that the tickets would be good today. According to the authorities, the siege was limited to Sofia and did not take in the rest of Bulgaria. (Copyright, 1925, by Chicago Daily News Co.) LEADER IS TAKEN.

Styhr Is 28 and Balchen is 26, i It is understood that the planes will be transferred to Amundsen's steamer Farm, as the mother ship, and that the Ingertre will thereupon resume her regular coal-carrying service, Some perturbation has been caused here by the statement attributed to Capt. Hagerup of the Farm that he is not favorable to planes being utilized in the search for the Amundsen party. He contends that this involves too great a risk to the rescuing avia- tors, without adequate means of aid ing Amundsen effectively. Moreover, Capt. Hagerup is said not to favor the Farm's further use for patrolling the ice edge, as she is bullt of iron and is therefore less suitable for such work than a wooden ship.

J., had under surveillance a 6-year-old child be- lieved to be Blakely Coughlin, kid- naped from his home in Norristown, Pa., five years ago, did not appear to arouse much iaterest in the father of the child today. George H. Cough- lin, the father, who with Mrs. Cough- lin now resides at Merion, near Phil- adelphia, said that he was not in- terested in the latest “wild rumors.” “I cannot believe anything but that my son was killed after he was kid- naped,” he sald. Mr. Coughlin, however, Indicated that if the circumstances warranted he would go to the place where the New Jersey State police say the child is under guard to look at him. Blakely Coughlin was kidnaped June 2, 1920, when 13 months old. He was taken from his crib on the second floor of his parents’ home and carried down a ladder. Later letters signed by “The Crank” were received, asking for a ransom. Augusto Pasquale, who is serving @ term in the Eastern Penitentiary for confessed murder of the baby, admitted to Maj. Mark O.
