Farewell COOLIDGE PLANNING LEGISLATIVE, TAXES AND COAL PROGRAM (Continued from First Page.) security pact negotiations and already has done much through his Cambridge speech to direct sentiment in favor of an agreement on the security treaty. which, In the opinion of observers, will go far to influence all nations in- volved to make concessions assuring the consummation of the last dispute necessary to the complete pacification and stabllization of Europe. On this space, not many miles from are the glish and German embassies, and the representatives of these govern- ments have kept President Coolidge advised, In an informal way, of the trend in the discussion on the pact. The representatives of the foreign governments believe that this Gov- ernment, with its unquestioned devo- tion to righting the troubles of Eu- rope, has done much to influence not only Germany, but France, to reach points of argument on the pact. That the American Government and bank- ers are looked to. as in the prepara- tion of the Dawes plan, to take any overt act in bringing about the situa- tion favorable to a conference on the pact is the opinion of the foreign gov- ernments as expressed today through one of {ts representatives. Baron Ago von Maltzan, German Ambassador, who yesterday received {a cable from his government, said at, his Magnolia home that he was con- fident that Germany will make a re- ply to the French security note which, while not accepting France's demands, will propose a conference in the Autumn. This conference, he believes, will lead to an agreement satisfactory to France and Germany. Pl MATERNITY IS BACKED. Woman Says Litigant Is Lotta Crabtree’s Daughter.

All attempts to limit the inquiry into_the personal affairs of O. P. and M. J. Van Sweringen were abandoned today when the Interstate Commerce Commission resumed consideration of the Nickel Plate Rallroad consolida- tion plan. 0. P. Van Sweringen, who was on the stand when the hearings were adjourned recently, returned to the witness chair and H. W. Anderson, counsel for the Chesapeake and Ohlo Railroad minority stockholders, who oppose the consolidation, continued cross-examination, which went back to 1915 in its consideration of Mr. Van Sweringen's realty and suburban rallroad interests at Cleveland. Newton D. Baker, counsel for the Van Sweringen interests had strenu- ously objected to the questioning of his clients as to the business projects in which they were engaged previous to thelr railroad connections, but he gave notice today that the objections had been withdrawn. Commissioner Meyer said at.the same time that the commission had overruled the objec- tions. Mr. Van Sweringen furnished a list of stockholders in the Terminals Prop erties Corporation, which he s been organized in 1915 with of its ownership held by himself a brother. This corporation be possessed of real estate in Clev: and of suburban railroads rights of way. Later Mr. Van Sweringen bor- rowed, with the corporation’s stock as collateral, large sums, which helped him in acquiring control of the Nickel Plate Railroad. LIBERAL-REFORMERS UNEASY IN PERSIA See Little Prospect of Gaining Re- publican Government—Titles Are Abolished. By Cable to The S and Chicago Daily CONSTANTINOPLE, July es of liberal reform in Persia, following Turkey's example, are in a rather precarious position, according to recent arrivals in Constantinople. While they see no possibility for the return of the exiled Shah and new elections have been called for Novem- ber, there is little prospect of a repub- lican form of government. Present discussions between the Turkish and Persian governments re- garding frontiers and better treaty re- lations have evoked considerable in- terest in Moslem circles of Persia re- garding Turkey's irreligious policy. The most progressive act of Persia recently has been the abolition of a vast category of high-sounding titles, which formerly were conferred by the shah. Pre er Riza Khan Pahlevi, who, though he was practical dictator of the country, did not enjoy a florid title, accomplished this through a de- cree. Riza Khan adopted the name of Pahlevl, and also assured its perma- nence by changing the name of En- zeli, a Casplan Sea port, to Pahlevi. Riza Khan has an unsavory reputa- tion among Americans, being credited with being under British influence and with instigating the murder of Consul Tmbrle. Abolishing titles compels dignitarfes to adopt new names. Teheran newspapers have given a touch of comedy to the reform by printing a list of title holders and offering to print the new names in parallel columns at the rate of $2 each. The City of Recht, where the women followed the exampie of their Turkish sisters of appearing in the streets without veils, was the scene of rioting following tirades delivered by hodjas in the mosques agalnst daring women. When the authorities refused to order the women to cover their faces, dis- orders occurred under exhoration of Moslem priests and spread to other parts of the country until the govern- ment, fearing overthrow, ordered wholesale arrests of the hodjas.

NEW YORK, July 20.—A reward of $500 to any one who can com- municate with his dead wife has brought J. Albert Gilbert of Portland, Oreg., 139 "spirit messages,” but they are all fakes, he announces in today's issue of the Sclentific American.

A copy | of the password was sealed in a safe | deposit vault. Since the $500 offer was madé three | years ago Gilbert has been flooded with alleged messages from his wife arjously signed ‘*'Susan,” ‘Anna, Louisa,” “Sunbeam.” Mrs. Gilbert's | name was Florence.

Pledging an absolutely dry conven: | tion, “as arld as the Desert of Sahara,’ national officers of the organization were laying plans today for the initia. tion tonight of a class of 6,000 candi- dates, the largest group ever admitted into a fraternal organization in this country at one time. “The Maccabees stand for obedience to the law,” A. W. Frye, supreme commander of the order, declared to- day. “We have brought 2,000 auto- mobiles here from every part of the United States and Canada_without a serfous accident to an officlallv en. | rolled car. We shall show the world | that a great body of fraternalists like this can go on a holiday and have all the fun in the world without making a joke of the law. “The highest ideals of citizenship are embodied in the ritual of frater- nalism. We shall initlate today the largest single class of new members ever brought at one time into a fra ternal order. Six thousand men and women will take the path simulta neously.” Plan for Initiation. The meeting of the Supreme Review. the highest council of the Maccabee order, at noon today, was given over to completion of arrangements for the initiation ceremony tonight at the Washington Auditorium. A class num- bering among its initiates high Gov- ernment and State officlals, hundreds of persons from Washington and sur- rounding_territory, all from the dis- trict of Washington, which includes, besides the city proper, the States of | Delaware, Maryland and part of Vir- ginia, will be inducted.

PRESIDENT HEARS SCOPES TRIAL HIT “Pitiful Drama Exemplifying Divi- sions Among Christians,” Pastor Says in Sermon. the Associated Press. SWAMPSCOTT, Mass., July 20.— The Scopes evolution trial was de- scribed before President Coolidge at church yesterday as ‘“the pitiful drama _exemplifying the division among Christians. “It is with very poor grace,” sald Rev. Charles H. Beale, who delivered the sermon at the Tabernacle Congre- gational Church In Salem, “that we church people criticize statesmen for not getting together, when we our selves cannot act in unison.” The pastor's pointed declarations on the evolution trial were brief and, while he did not declare himself before the President modernist, he gave every substantiation to his statement that he was a “progressive preacher.” Mr. Beale preached for many years at Milwaukee, Wis., and now is re tired, serving during the vacation period at the Summer church of the President.
