o PRESIDENT AND AL TALK OVER FISHING Governor Calls at White Pine « Camp to Enjoy Catches by Coolidge. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG, Statt Correspondent of The Star. WHITE PINE CAMP, N. Y,, July . 16—President Coolidge and Gov. Al Smith of New York are together this afternoon at White Pine Camp. There | 18 no significance attached to this meeting of these two great national | figures; it was just an informal and happy way for the executive of the Empire State officially to welcome the Nation's executive. Mrs. Smith accompanied her hus-| band to the camp and she and Mrs. | Coolidge quicklystruck up an acquaint- | ance such ‘as would have made one | believe they had known each other for | years. They had much in common to talk about, while their distinguished | husbands sat and smoked and chat- ted. With the arrival of the Smiths the camp was almost instantly enlivened. | The governor was-jn high spirits and his good nature and ever-rippling wit soon had their effect ugon every one about the camp. He smilingly’ re- marked, as his automobile was draw- ing up to the front of the living cabin, where the President and Mrs. Coolidge were standing on the porch, “This ain't such a bad spot. Pretty good.” However, his remarks were not heard by his hosts. His words of apprecia-| tion extended later to his hosts were probably of a far different wording, Carries “Working Tools.” ‘The governor while talking with the group of newspaper correspondents Jjust before going to the Coolidges for luncheon was asked what all he ex- pected to say and do. He quickly | replied, “Don't worry about me, 1I| am like old Hawkshaw, the detec- tive. He not only had a lot of whisk- ers to serve as bushes and screens but he always carried his working tools.” As might be expected after the handshaking on the porch had been disposed of, the governor complimented the President upon how well he: was looking and upon his accomplishments as a fisherman. “I see by the papers, and I suppose it is true, that you are doing wonders with the line,” the governor said. The opening remark seemed to please the President and he retorted something to the effect that he was doing pretty fair, but he did not be- lieve the fish colony in Lake Osgood was yet-showing' any signs of becom- ing_ worried. It is not known just how long the President waited after the arrival of his guests to tell them about the fish surprise he had for them. Probably he waited until luncheon, when great piles of bass and pike, yanked from the lakes in this section by the Presl. dent himself, personally for his guests of today, appeared on the luncheon table. ‘Worked Hard Fishing. It is'true just the same that the President, in anticipation of the com- . ing of guests today, and remembering the day of the luncheon was Friday— fish day—set to work yesterday fish- ing hard to have a plentiful supply on hand. His luck was good, too. The President is represented as having caught’ about 30 during the morning and afternoon. He did not stop fish ing until nearly dark. - Gov. Smith's arrival in this section created a mild sensation. It seems as though everybedy turned out along the roads to catch a glimpse of him @s he sped along the way. At Paul Smith's Hdtel, where. he and Mrs. Smith and the others of their party who made the trip with them from Albany stopped, all the guests and hotel help and the natlves were gathered about the porches and walk- ways to. give the party a welcome. The party stopped in front of the hotel for several moments for the news photographers and motion pic- ture ‘operators to get all they wanted in the way of pictures. The governor was then intreduced to the score or more newspaper men, who wanted an interview with him right on the spot. The governor sald, “1 have heard a lot about you Wash. ington newspaper men and have been wanting to see how I would stack up against you, but before you com- mence I want to go to the room and doll up. I've got a big date and I've 86t to look=my best, I haven't even shaved this morning.” N Goes to Clean Up. § The governor then turned to his ' wife and daughter and the Ilatter's husband and the several others In their party, and, cailing loudly, ‘Come on, childfen, lets get cleaned up and look pretty,” walked away rooms reserved for them. It was announced by the governor upon his arrival that he expects to remain-at Paul Smith's until Monday. He said he had no idea what he was ing to do to idle away the time ntil then, but he declared that he felt very sure no one is going to get lonely. He intimated that he might . fplay a little goif. i This meeting of President Coolidge - and Gov. Smith was the first time they actually had an opportunity to . become ‘acquainted. Once or twice they have been in the same company, put never before did they get together 88 is the case today at White Pine Camp. The occaslon is looked upon , With no little amourt of interest, not only because of the prominence of the two men, and their wide personal fol- lowings, but because eath looms-large at this moment as the standard bearer of his party for Presidert in 1928, and because of the great contrast in their personalities and their lives.

J By the Associated Press. Protests Ly - domestic marble and granite producers against the use foreign stones to k permanently the graves of American soldiers buried in. Europe were definitely re- jected today by Secretary of War Davis, when he approved the contract which gives the award to Itallan Car- rara marble bidders. In making the award he followed the recommendations of the Ameri- can Battle Monuments Commission, headed by Gen. Pershing. “The com- mission decided that bids on the Car- rara marble were not only the lowest in point of cost, but would aid in ex- pediting placement of the crosses in the cem es abroad. The Itallan crosses will be delivered at the various cemeteries at a cost to the government of $4.50 each. The War Secretary expressed the hope that the permanept markers uld. be set up over the wves in the larger cemeteries before the Amer- ican Legion held its convention in Paris next September. It was declared that had the award been given American producers the cost would have been increased ap- proximately. $2,000,000 and the delay in their preparation .and transporta- tion to Europe would have been at least a year.

KANSAS CITY, July 16—With thousands ‘of bushels of the $260 000,000 Kansas wheat crop piled in the opgn btcause of lack of trans- portation facilities, rallroads are rushing trains of empty box cars into the grain belt in an effort to preyent damage from sun and rain. Harvesting of the bumper crop has exhausted storage facilities and as the piles\of wheat increased along the rallroad right of ways farmers and bankers ‘fouhid the situation acute, Demands ‘for cars deluged railroad offices, aiready taxed by movement of graln from other States. 1,000 Cars En Route. Reinforced with extra crews, rall- road ofcials concentrated on speed- ing the unloading of wheat at terml- n.:- and prompt dispatching of cars to the production centers. -More than 1,000 empty cars were reported to have passed through here vest y en route to Central*and Southwestern State points, while hundreds of cars are converging on the wheat centers from other terminals. Attention was focused on the sits ation yesterday when farmers at Sub- lette, in southwesterh Kansas, re- ported more than 200,000 bushels of wheat piled along the tracks, Rain, they sald, would cause the grain to heat when placed in an elevator, necessitating constant handling until 1t dried. . i Movement Started Earller. 3 Movement of the Kansas crop started earlier than usual this year, railroad officials say, because of a more gen- eral use of combine harvesters. These machines cut and thresh the grain in one operation. . When binders are used, they explained, the bundles are placed in shocks and often stand for weeks before being threshed. Gov. Paulen sald yesterday that al- though Kansas farmers had a bumper wheat crop a large portion of the money recéived probably would be used in liquidation of obligations incurred in prosperous . years. This, he sald, accounted in & way for the haste to market the crop while ices were firm. BAR ASSOCIATION RAPS D. C. LAWYERS IN SPECIAL FIELDS (Continued from First Page.) lc.

The License Bureau collected $310,033.85 last year, compared with $372,707.97 the pre- vious year. 2 The decrease, Mr. Coombs explain- ed, is attributable to the fact that the fee for automobile n tags - | for the first haif of the fiscal year 1925, ited made by the joint committee brary in pursuance of a reso- lution adopted by the preceding Con- gress which appropriated $5.000 - to :n.nu' a h'nunvy h‘l’ 'dmrmlnu at pl was preferable for relocat. ing the Botanic Garde m.
