Potato Gulch nearby in the hills was famous for the hunks of gold turned up and earned its name that way. One qld fellow pans out a living in Deadwood Creek between here and the old mining town of Central City. Others are working at Tinton and in Rapid Creek as well as in some of the back mountain streams. Old Mr. Russell, “Mike” Russell, pal of Buf- falo Bill and Gen. Custer, one of the first_saloonkeepers in Deadwood and regular character out of a Bret Harte novel, told the writer of the days back in '76 that the President will learn about when he comes here in August. Were Wild Days, “Those were wild days, but I would ike them back again,” Mr. Russell “Everybody had gold dust and knew how to spend it. There was no money and dust was the medium of exchanges. Even.the washerwoman had her scales and weighed out her pennyweight for every shirt launder- ed. Two bits was ’bout the lowest unit of value, but sometimes we would make change as low as a dime. “A newspaper cost 25 cents, or one pennyweight of gold dust, and flour then was over two ounces of gold. or $40 a sack. A drink cost a penny- weight. When the customer would toss over his buckskin sack to weigh out the cost of a drink there was al- ways a bit of dust lost. We used to shake out $2 or $3 in gold from the carpet behind the cales. The man who swept out the saloon did the job for gold dust he could collect in the sweepings. Fortunes in Gold. “When the rush was at its height about 300 men a day were heading for the hills to stake out their claims. Everybody was looking for good pan- ning. At one place a negro asked some white placer miners where he could find good digging. ‘Upon the hill end,’ they told him, to get the fellow out of the way. He went up the hill and started to dig and got a rich strike. That's how Nigger Hill got its name. “Most of Deadwood has been pros- pected and all the streams have been gone over thoroughly. Over $500,000,- 000 worth of gold has been taken from the hills and there's a lot of it left. The mining of gold was hard hit after the war, though, when prices of everything else went up and gold as the basic commodity remained sta- tionary. That put operating costs too high to make most mines pay. “There still is plenty of gold in the hills and it's still in the creeks, but not so plentiful as before.

The Sc ator assured him there wasn't a swim- ming hole in the world to compare with it, and there are those who wouldn't be surprised to see Mr. Coolidge go down for a dip one of these days. Just what the Coolidge home and office life is like out here in the West is apparent from the descriptions given by his first guest at the Sum- mer White House and by a head of one of the delegations that has vis- ited the offices. Opie Chambers of Yankton, S. Dak., a friend of the President and mana ger of his 1924 presidential primar campaign in this State, was the first house guest. “I found the President and M Coolidge sincerely happy and cozily settled in their new home,” Mr. Cham- bers said. “When I arrived Mr. Cool- idge got up from a big easy chair be- fore the fireplace and came to meet me at the door. Mrs. Coolidge had been busy at her needlework in a chair near the President.

Later Mrs. Coolidge assured me that all their praise was warranted by their pleas- ure in the Summer home. “STRANGLER” SEEKS FOREIGN ASSISTANCE Earle Nelson, Held at Winnipeg, Denies Murders—Identified in Oregon. By the Associated Press. WINNIPEG, June 22—FEarle Nel- son, charged with the murder of a Winnipeg woman and a girl and held as the “strangler,” sought in the United States for the murder of sev® eral women, broke his silence yester- day long enough to request a confer- ence with a foreign official. “I am charged with two murders, but I'm not the one who did it,” he replied when asked what prompted his request. It was definitely learned today that Nelson will be brought to trial in a higher court probably July 20. His preliminary_hearing is scheduled for Thursday. No counsel has yet been assigned to defend the prisoner. It was learned that several lawyers already have declined to act, among them Clarence Darrow, who was quoted as saying he was ot practicing at present. Identifled as “Harris.” PORTLAND, Oreg., June 22 (#).— Identification of Earle Nelson, alleged “strangler,” held at Winnipeg as the man wanted here under the name of Adrian Harris for the slaying of a woman, was announced by the police yesterday. Photographs of the Winnipeg pris- oner were identified by Mrs. Sophie Yates, who was a lodger in a rooming house at which Harris lived here last October, and Russell Gordon, a gro- cery clerk. Harris disappeared from Portland about the time Mrs. Blanch Myers was slain_here. Before leaving the room- ing house he gave woman lodgers some jewelry, which later was identi- fied as having been the property of Mrs. Florence Fithian Monks, who was killed in Seattle a short time pre- viously. STEAMER LINES PROTEST RAILWAY FREIGHT RATE Vessels Using Panama Canal Com- plain of Reduction by Competing Roads on Canned Goods. By the Associated Press. lines using the Panama Canal pro- tested a reduction by railroads of 15 cents per hundredweight on the rate of canned goods from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic at a hearing before the Int-state Commerce Commission here :sierday. The steamship companies claimed the rcduction in the rate from $1.05 to 90 cents eliminated them from com- petition. Their water rate from Pa- cific ports to Atlantic ports is 45 cents at present, but to this must be added the rail rates from the canneries to the ports and from the Atlantic ports to the destinations inland. The average rates by the rail and water routes are now about 90 cents, which is the the rail cost. The commi ordered a con- tinuance of the former rate of $1.05 by the railroads pending the outcome of the hearing. SHIPPING IS MENACED. Abandoned Schooner Floats Self After Being Grounded. WILMINGTON, N. C., June 22 (). —Loaded with 000 water-soaked cross ties, the schooner Charles A. Dean, which grounded recently off Frying Pan Shoals, floated herself yes- terday and is drifting down the coast, The heavily laden craft slipped off the bar early in the afternoon and was swept in the direction of Myrtle Beach, S. C., moving in the shipping lanes.’ She is considered a serious menace to navigation in shipping circles. No one is aboard to guide the craft as she drifts helplessly in the darkness. The crew was taken off when the schooner grounded. First reports regarding departure of the crew was that a mutiny took place aboard the craft, but it was definitely established that such never occurred, PRESIDENT WINNING HIS WAY AS ADOPTED SON OF THE WEST Visitors Charmed With His Gracious Per- sonality—Wears Ten-Quart.

Bronson, president of the As- sociated Commercial Clubs of the ack Hills and manager of the Belle Fourche Round-Up, which the Presi- dent is to attend, got much the same impression of Mr. Coolidge from his visit to the executive office. “Really, we were surprised to find how congenial and pleasant Mr. Cool- idge was, after the impressions we had been given,” Mr. Bronson said. “He quickly accepted our invitation. When we gave him that beautiful gray 10-quart beaver hat with a 10- inch brim and high crown he seemed particuls tickled. He tried it on twice and looked well in it, too. The President was so very agreeable and interested in this country that we were really surprised.” Others say the same thing. was made of those who have been associated with the President all through his term in office to discover the reason. The explanation was made that Mr. Coolidge is naturally friendly, but dur- ing the latter part of the Harding ad- ministration and after Mr. Coolidge took office many Republican leaders were not particularly friendly. During the pressure of this period the Presi- dent adopted a policy of silence. Even now he can close up like a clam when he senses that a person has some ax to grind or some favor to ask, and he's very discerning in picking out those persons. a Inquiry Enjoys Personal Friendship. But here he finds people ‘whole- hearted in_their personal friendship, whether they agree with him poli- or not, and for once Mr. Cool- idge is relaxing and letting himself have enjoyment. He likes the people 1 he likes the arrangement for his tion, so he is blossomining out. v is he enjoying himself, but he tells visitors to get out and adver- tise this section, assuring them that he is doing his part. That seems a certain indciation that the Presdent is having a good time in the West. President Hooks Six Trout to Two For Mrs. Coolidg By the Associated Press. RAPID CITY, S. Dak., June 22.— If there has been any competition in the Coolidge family over su- premacy with rod and reel for the time being, at least, it has been settled. President and Mrs. Coolidge went to Squaw Creek yesterday after- noon, and when they returned to the Summer White House there were six trout in the President's basket, two in Mrs. Coolidge's. Succumbing to the spirit of the West, Mr. Coolidge added to the 10- gallon cowboy hat he adopted last week a pair of riding breeches and boots on his trip today. Mrs. Coolidge wore sport clothes. After the trout had been turned over to the Summer White House kitchen, the President, wearing his big chapeau, sat with Mrs. Coolidge on the front porch of their resi- dence and watched evening steal silently over the brim of the moun- tains. PRISONERS’ FLOOD WORK WINS LIBERTY Hundreds in Louisiana to Get Re- missions—Morale in Crisis Is Commended. By the Associated Pres BATON ROUGE, La., June 22.— Remission of sentences under - the most liberal interpretation of the law will be the reward of several hundred prisoners at the State prison farm here, officials said yesterday, for their work during the flood crisis. In many cases remission of sen- tence will amount to dismissal from the penitentiary, as the.time off in- cluded in the awards will amount to more than the remaining time to serve, H. C. Pitcher, general manager of the prison, said. The reward not only will extend to those actually engaged in work on the levees, but to the women who did thefr part behind the lines, working early and late in providing coffee and other refreshments to the men on the ram- parts. Practically all the convicts, white and negro, who worked in the flood fight will be given citation for meri- torfus service in addition to the time allowed, Pitcher said. “There was a_ very fine shown,” Pitcher declared, “and the morale was good during the whole fight. The men worked under ad- verse conditions, in all kinds of weather, and frequently had poor housing facilities at the scene of the work. Their spirit and energy has won the commendation of all who saw them!” During the whole flood battle, only two prisoners attempted to escape out spirit {of the hundreds of convicts who were free on the levees and could have holted for liberty at almost any time. The two were recaptured almost im. mediately. CAMP REEDER TO OPEN. Boys' Club Rendezvous in Mary- land Ready Wednesday.

COLORED ‘COUNTESS’’ TITLE IS IN DOUBT Paris and Italian Papers Say Mate of Dancer Is Not on No- bility Lists. By the Associated Press. PARIS, June 22.—Josephine Baker, Charleston dancer, who announced herself last Saturday night as America’s first negro countess, was the subject of speculation today in the French newspapers. They de- clared they had been unable to sub- stantiate the claim of her husband to noble rank or even to find any record of the marriage. The dancer met her “Count” Rep- pino di Abatino in the Paris cafe where both were employed: Abatino is said to have been a manual worker before coming here from Italy. ‘When she told the press about her wedding no details were given. Both were just as hazy about the title ex- cept to assert that it existed “some- where in Italy,” with Palermo indi- cated. Abatino was not known around the cafe as a count until the dancer's announcement. He had been manager of the cabaret, which is situated in Montmartre, for more than a year, and had acted as general supervisor of the dancer’s business affairs. Title Not Listed. ROME, June 22 (#).—“Count” Beppe Abbatino, who married Josephine Baker in Paris (reports from Paris give the name as Reppinp di Abatino), does not figure in any of the guides to Italian nobility. The newspapers say he is the son of Col. Francesco Abbatino, podesta (governing official) of a district in the Province of Udine. They add that he was employed as a clerk in Rome before going to France. WASHINGTONI'AN TO GET OFFICE IN JR. 0. U. A. M. Joseph H. Smithson Nominated Without Opposition at Rye Beach Session.

By the Associated Press. VESTERAS, Sweden, June 22 —The 400th anniversaty of the estab) shment of the Lutheran Church in Sweden was celebrated in the cathedral here yesterday. BisHtop E. Billing officiated in the presence of King Gustav and the governor of the province. The town was beflagged; a great pageant and a play in the open air theater were features, and the King presided at the banquet at the town hall in the evering: 5 e celebration was in commemora- tion of that June day in 1527 when the famous King Gustav Vasa sum- moned a parliament of representatives of the nobility, clergy and peasantry at this place and promulgated two laws, famous in Sweden’s history— The Vesteras Recess and Vesteras Ordinance—both aimed at breaking down the growing temporal power of the Roman Church in Sweden. By the ordinance the King became head of the Swedish Church, which adopted the Bible as the sole religious gulde. Thus the first step was taken for reformation on the Lutheran basis. Moreover, priests were compelled to conduct services in Swedish. The recess dealt mainly with the material position of the church. The bishops were deprived of their forti- fled castles, where they had been able to defy the King, and the church estates were confiscated.
