- * CODLDEE TOWAL AND SALFOR REST Vacation Party to Leave Without Any of Customary Implements of Outing. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. For what is believed to be the first time in history a vacation party is about to leave the White House with none of the popular implements of vacation time going alors. There are no golf clubs, no tennis racquets, no fishing tackle, no guns, rifles, anoes—not even & croquet mallet. Two of the White House dogs are going. Messrs. Rob Roy and Paul Pry. but they are ornamental rather than useful President Coolidge has determined that his stay at White Court, on the Swampscott shores of the Atlantic, is to be as quiet as he can make it.| There will be no games or recreation other than an occasional walk and a #till more occasional sail on the May- flower, which is to be anchored at Salem, where she used to repose when President Taft spent h Summers at Beverly The Codlidge trips aboard the Mayflower will be just about brief in the sailing line as have been his almost weekly excursions down the Potomac River. The President likes a short ride of 40 miles or so and then the peace of a ship at anchor— a sort of sense of isolation which vou can get in no other way. The Presi- dent does not profess to be a deep-sea eailor, so his excursfons this Summer into Massachusetts Bay are likely to be short ones, with no venturing out- side the hook of Cape Cod Limited Social Activ The north shore of Massachusetts is noted for its social activities and its country clubs, but, according to all the information which can be gleaned at the White House, the Coolidges will perticipate but littie, if any, in the usual Summer fe vities.

Only pressing public matters will be brought to the atten. ! tion of Mr. Coolidge during his vaca- tion period. He is not expected to visit the executive offices in more than once or twice ddring the Summer, so the prospect before him muchto his liking—plenty of tim for repose reflection and ton templation hose about the Presi dent will attempt to shield him as fai as possible from the casual callers, al- | though the Summer White Mouse will, as always, be the Mecea for thousands | of tourists, who will want to see the | and shake hands with him, | They have the slimmest | ance.

Liked Strenuous Recreation. Other Presidents at othes have prepared for their Summ tions in an irely different manne; from the Coolidges. President Hard-| ing, his immediate predecessor, was a | lover of all out-door sports. Golf and fishing were his two atest loves as President, although earlier in life he | was strongly addicted to tennis. That | was in the davs before Marion. Ohio, ! had a golf course. Mr. Harding also liked a ige in the evening. | Deep-s nd deep-sea cruising | | times | r vata- on the Mayflower were aigo in his line. President Wilson was an inveterate golfer, although he never attained a very low score. Once at the Coiumbia Country Club he almost broke 100, | missing the chance by a blade of | grass on his last putt at the home green. President Taft also was great golfer. and tourist. During the Summer he thought nothing of a 50 or 160 mile automobile ride in an after- | noon. He also liked the longer | cruises on the Mayflower.

Although the formal inquiry con cerning live stock conditions was discontinued by the department in February, Col. Coolidge still is listed on its rolls and is consid- ered available for gathering further data concerning agriculture condi- tions in his section of Vermont. He has faithfully performed his duties, officials in the crop estimat- ing section said, when called upon. WISCONSIN AWAITS LA FOLLETTE’S BODY; COMING HOME TODAY (Continued from First Page) public subscription or a memorial building at Madison was suggested, with the final decision in the hands of a committee to be appointed by the Legislature. Six Senatorg and 17 will provide a guard of honor for the body of “Fighting Bob” as it lies in state in the Capitol rotunda until it is borne to its final resting place, under sheltering white oak tree in a quiet corner of Forest Hill Cemetery, Mon- day. Leaving Washington late Friday, the funeral train was due in Madison this afternoon, with plans made to remove the body from the station direct to the State House, where Sen ator La Follette served as Wisconsin's governor. As the train moved out ton and at stops along the way crowds gathered to pay a final tribute to the dead leader. while many rail- road workers lined the right of way to honor the man they long had re-. garded as their champion. After leaving Chicago near midday the train planned to move on a slower chedule into Wisconsin, slacking up t towns along the way. The body. in its purple covered cas. et resting in a bower of flowers, was mpanied from Washington by four members of the congressional committee appointed to attend the funeral, with other members planning to reach Madison Sunday or Monday. The funerzl party included Senators Irvine E. Lenroot of Wisconsin, Bur- ton K. Wheeler of Montana, Andreas A. Jones of New Mexico and Repre- sentative Lampert of Wisconsin. In accordance with the wishes of Senator La Follette, funeral services the Capitol will be simple. They will begin about 11:30 m.m. Monday, with interment at 1 p.m. The body will lie in state after 1 p.m. Sunday. Soth houses of the State Legislature oted yesterday to attend the funeral n a body after the la nator had been eulogized on the floor of the As- sembly and plans had been made for the memortal. The reading of the me- morlal resolution brought tears to every eye and one Senator sank to his seat sobbing while In the midst of his address Senator La Follette's final resting place will be within a few feet of the spot where reposes his father, mother and other relatives. He selected the place three years ago at the time of the death of his brother-in-law. There will be no military display at the funeral. National gaurdsmen, un- der the direction of Adjt. Gen. Ralph M. Immel, will be on duty in the Capi- tol, but the men will not be in uni- orm. The funeral train will be met here by a delegation of the Senator’s Illi- nois followers, who will offer a floral wreath symbolizing their affection for the dead leader. Arrangements also ve been made for a special train to carry lllinois Progressives to the fu- neral ‘Widow's Candidacy Uncertain. While the question of a successor to Senator La Follette has been under discussion in political circles, Gov. J. J. Blaine has announced that he will Assemblymen f Washing. {take no action until after the funeral Reports have been current that a pe- tition would be circulated asking that Mrs. La Follette run as successor to her husband, but no verification could be obtained.

Philip La Fol- lette, however, has not reached his 30th vear, the required age, although his brother would be eligible.

La Follette left Washington at 3 p.m. yesterday for the last time, while a little group of friends, many of whom have shared his triumphs and reverses in the political life of the Nation, stood with bared heads as the funeral train pulled out for Madison, Wis. The cofiin of the dead leader was lifted into the car Commonwealth, the same in which Senator La Fol- lette made his last presidential cam. paign, with one floral tribute on its lid. This was a wreath of 70 lilles, one for each year of the Senator's age, a tribute from the American Federation of Labor.

CAMBRIDGE, Md., June 20— Booster ship Southland, anchored in Choptank river. Unity of the great eastern trium- verate of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia today is being cemented together so tightly that not even the seams of the geograph- ical divisions are apparent enough to_be recognized. The heads of these geographical and autonomous subdivisions—Gov. E. Les Trinkle of Virginia, Gov. Albert E. Ritchie of Maryland and Cuno H Rudolph, chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia—are participating in this an- nual booster outing of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association of the District of Columbfa with the business men of the Capital City, furnishing the personal equation which always results in that understanding of mu- tuality of purpose which wipes out the fear born of provincialism There are those on the cruise who foresee the spreading of the Capital City from its present geographical lines into the States beyvond into a grand metropolitan _district, whose destinies will be presided over by the heads of these geographical And to this end this little band of business men have been work- ing incessantly for vears through thelr outings, having for their pur pose to boost for and buy in Washing. ton and through their business forces which have invaded the surrounding territories. Mix Play With Business. But with it all they are a playful lot. They the success of mingling business with pleasure They play and learn things about their competitor's business and that they would not learn in years and the whole steps in the direction of prog- ress for which the city as a whole will enjoy the proges in the great de- velopment. The booster ship Southland has not experienced such sleepless nights for her charges in many months, but Capt, Geoghegan has not carried such a distinguished passenger list in such a tme. Every possible comfort is being pro- vided for these Capital City business men and they are providing a lot of their own Radio everywhere about the vessel kept the passengers informed of the play-by-play details of the biz game, have found with the stick, if he could have heard the cheering from the salon bleachers, he would have had first-hand knowl edge that Washington business was right behind him. Find Unsuspected Talent. The orchestra brought things that these men keeping secret, for a survey of the parties on the floor during the play- ing of the lively airs indicated that Ziegteld has overlooked a great field for recruiting some of his new dancing steps. - Frank Pierce, Dr. Rogers, Galt Burps and a few of the other best steppers were out for the exhibitions. Fred Spicer -is one of the leading entertainers on the trip, who has stricken fear into the bodies of many of those who had become a bit wabbly trom the rolling of the ship, of course, by his realistic imitations of the in habitants -of the zoological gardens and the jungles. When the good ship reached Mathi- as Point last night the observers saw on the shore a burst of flam- ing fire which lighted up the entire beach. It was in the riverside home of Julius H. Duehring, one of the Boosters, and was the saiute of Mrs Duehring from the Virgin | the Boosters of the District of Co- lumbia. Railroad flares were fired all around the home and Capt. Geogheg- an gave the riverman’s salute, three {long blasts on the whistle, and turn- ed the white beam of the searchlight lon the shore and home. Fog Bell Tolls Welcome. This made a most pleasing demon- stration. But the old lighthouse kecper Mathals Point not to be out- done. for out of the darkness came the deep tolling of the lighthouse fog bell, three strokes, a salute us ally reserved for tribute to pa men of war. This the captain answer- ed and the men cheered the watchful old “fellow. There's plenty going on every minute of the hours, and though some of it is not on the offi- cial, program, practice has taught those «who make:the cruises regu- larly to be up and on the lookout. These merchants, who are strong believers of signs in their stores, don't believe in them when they are posted anywhere else. There are gns on the sleeping decks ordering ulet on this deck between midnight and 8 am But the committee might just as well have saved the time and energy. For if there was any quiet in the vicinity of this ship last night it could not be observed. Deck 2olf is one of the big features of the trip, but there were so many games that the scores are difficult to obtain. Gov. Ritchie Boards. hip arrived at Cambridge on stern Shore of Maryland at 10 to receive Gov. Ritchie aboard and entertain him at luncheon and to participate in the ceremonies inci- dent to the annual Chesapeake Bay work boat races. The boosters re- mained anchored in the stream until 1 p.m.. when they headed for Annapo- lis, where this afternoon they will be docked at the Naval Academy dock from 5 to 6 o'clock. Then the vessel will loaf down the bay to reach Nor- folk tomorrow morning. During this leg of the voyage there will be a meeting on the salon which will be presided over by Ross P. An- drews, president of the Merchants and ' Manufacturers’ Association, chairman of the booster committee and admiral of the cruise, wearing the yachtsman's uniform of authority. Gov. Trinkle and Maj. Willam E. R. Covell, Assistant Engineer Commis. sloner of the District of Columbia, will speak. BUS EXTENSION PLANNED. Permit Is Asked for Line to Serve Northeast Section. The Washington Railway and Llec- tric Co. today asked the Public Util- ities Commission for permission to extend its cross-town bus line now operating in southeast and northeast sections so as to provide bus facil- ities for the newly growing residen- tial section bounded by Bladens- burg road, Mount Olivet yoad, West Virginia avenue and Florida' avenue northeast.

Some 50 or more arrests have al- ready been made in provincial towns, especially garrisoned cities, during the last 10 days. Those taken were com- munists engaging in seditious talk or caught distributing propaganda tracts | among the soldiers, asking them to fraternize with the Rifflans. Arrests Montpelier.

Meanwhile the socialists are hold- ing a referendum throughout the | country to decide what attitude their deputies shall adopt on Tuesday — whether to support the cabinet or withdraw from further participation in the present chamber majfority, breaking up the cartel of the left. The government, it is stated, is making no_effort ‘to influence the soclalists, the cabinet being sure of obtaining the necessary majority from other quarters in Parliament. A blanket indorsement of M. Pain- leve's Morocean policy was given in 525 to 32, and it is thought the French troops in Morocca are likely to aban- don their defensive tactics and strike a decisive blow at the Rifflans. WILL BLOCKADE ARMS. Irish Filibusters Principal Supply of ‘Weapons to Riffs. PARIS, June 20 (). —It was said today at the French ministry of war that information received there indi- cated that Irish blockade runners were the principal conveyors of contraband jarms to Abd-el-Krim's Riffians who are fighting the French and Spanish in Morocco. Announcement was made vesterday of a joint Franco-Spanish blockade of the Moroccan coast to prevent arms reaching the warring tribesmen. According to the ministry of war's information, blockade runners have hitherto been landing small cargoes of arms along the Moroccan coast without much danger of capture. The new arrangement will put an end to this situation, the authorities hope. AIR FLYERS FACE MOUNTAIN HAZARD (Continued from Third Page.) to Muskogee, Okla., and Kansas City, Mo. The latter place was reached the following evening, after flying the last 20 minutes of the airway in fog and rain and with a sputtering motor. The nature of the sputter, however, was sufficlent to indicate that the engine wouldn't quit on us 100 feet above Missouri soil and in fog and rain, so we fought our way into the landing field at Kansas City. Ex- amination of the motor showed dirt in the distributor heads as the cause of the “cut out.” From Kansas City the airway route goes to Scott Field, Belleville, IIL, a short distance from St. Louis, where there is a junction. The planes from the West stop at this point and meet East. We continued on the route, flying into Indianapolis, then down to straight into Washington, with a stop at Moundsville, W. Va., for fuel. The distance to Washington from San Francisco by the Army route is 3,320 miles and the flying time was 38 hours and 24 minutes, or about § hours longer than the mail route time.
