Coffin, Near Georgia Coast, Cut Off From All Out- side Communication. By the Associated Press. ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga., June 1.— ‘What was described an ‘“impene- trable line of defens thrown about the Sapelo Island home of Howard E. Coffin, tonight led residents to believe Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and his bride of a few days were spending their honeymoon ‘somewhere among the sea islands off the Georgia Coast.” Communication with the island was cut off tonight. Guards patrolled the docks, and the fleet of speedboats main- tained for hire has been withdrawn. No boats to the island are obtainable. The lone telephone line to the island. which lies several miles off the coast, had been cut off. The continued absence of Mr. Cof- fin's yacht, Zapala, also led residents here to believe the flyer and his bride are somewhere in the islands. All reports and rumors lacked con- | firmation. Mr. Coffin is president of the Na- tional Air Transport. of which Lind- bergh is technical adviser. THREE DIE IN CRASH. Train Hits Auto at Crossing at Russels Point, Ohio.

At CONFEDERATE VETS CONVENE TUESDAY {Charlotte to Be Host to Fading Ranks of Gray Army. | By Consotidated Press. | CHARLOTTE, N. C, June 1.—Gray- clad campaigners from througout Dixie, their eyes gleaming a flerce deflance of encroaching years even as they charged back at Grant around Richmond, will mount the hilitop of another all-South- ern reunion here Tuesday and lustily raise the rebel yell against old age and the Yankees of burning memory. Gray uniforms will number 5,000 and surounding them and engaging them in the festivities of the frenzied week of social and oratorical activity will be probably 70,000 children of the fading South. Tramping again through the tented fields, with bugles and guns stirring their battle instincts, the old warriors will live over again the thrilling days when against the heavy odds they cov- cred themselves with glory and wrote the average age of 84, they will gather in the shade of the trees and relate for an eager younger generation the many times told tales of hair-raising charges, All Dixie will be represented in Charlotte. For four days the grey uni- formed generals and their regiments of veteran warriors will resurrect, in spirit at least, the militant Confederacy, and the stars and bars will whip the wind in proud disdain of the little fact that Grant finally reached Richmond. While the veterans have their meetings and attend to such busiriess matters as electing a new commander-in-chief, and selecting the next reunion city, Charlotte will be in a turmoll of social activity reminiscent of the old days when ~Southern aristocracy had its grand balls and the windows of the manor houses gleamed until the morn- ing as beauty and chivalry “tripped the light fantastic toe.” Surrounding each of the general and divisional officers, standing like staunch gray oaks in flelds of flowers will be a retinue of matrons and malds of honor, thrilled in being chosen from all Dixie to be in the background of beauty for the old soldiers. Expect Gay Time. ‘The minuet will not be revived, ex- cept in the elaborate pageant which is to depict “the rise and fall of the Con- federacy,” for the younger Southern generation has learned some new dances it likes better. And so do their mothers and fathers. Also, many of the old vet- erans will be seen and heard in the staccato thumpings of the fox trot, and the girls of the day will vie with each | other in securing gray-uniformed part- ners for the dances. The old boys will have a gay time. They always do. Gen. A. T. Goodwyn of Elmore, Ala., will open the reunion Tuesday night, and Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi will thrill the Southerners with his eloquent pictures of the former times. Among those to be present will be Gen. R. A. Sneed of Oklahoma, who, early ar- rivals among the veterans say, will be Gen. Goodwyn's successor as command- er-in-chief. Biloxi, Miss., was regarded | as the leading contender Yor the next | reunion. All eyes of the evening of the second day, Wednesday, will be turned on the historical pageant, “The Rise and Fall of the Confederacy” with a massive cast of local people, given in honor of the visitors. Parade Friday. After the business sessions of Thurs- day, the reunion will arrive at its grand climax Priday morning when the mam- moth _three-hour parade will wind its way through the streets to the reunion headquarters. The latter is a magnifi- cent new armory building, erected espe- cially for the occasion. One feature of the reunion which will receive special attention is .the camp division, in which scores of old Negro men will be quartered. They are the valets, the bodyguards, who went to war with their “marsters” and right mightily “fit de Yanks” who | fought to set them free. The old | Negroes will have the run of the town and many a thrilling tale will they tell. ‘The majority of them will not | be bound by such hampering thoughts | as veracity, and the chances are their war yarns will be even more interesting than those of their masters. | The reunion will be a whirl of color | and music and in the throngs, reduced | to the ranks in proportion as the old warriors are raised to pedestals, will be notables from all over the country, mostly Southerners on a “home-com- ing” excursion. They will include gov- ernors and Senators and famous doctors and lawyers. Charlotte, with its 100,000 popula- tion, has been organized to make thc thirty-ninth_reunion the best of any since the Confederate soldiers began their annual assemblie: (Copyright, BLAST WRECKS STORE.

By Consolidated Press. OJAIL Calif, June 1.—Gathered around a huge campfire which throws into picturesque relief their tents pitched beneath the oaks in this beauti- ful little valley, several thousand mem- bers of the Order of the Star in the | East are learning from the lips of their youthful leader, Jeddu Krishnamurti, his determination to dissolve the order which he founded. Krishnamurti, the ascetic, earnest Indian, who came out of Asia a few years ago hailed as a new Messiah, feels that all his dreams, his ambitions, have been misunderstood and that there is no way to keep faith with his principles other than by disbanding his followers —many of whom are now gathered in model tent city here in annual con- | vention. Against Cults and Creeds. ‘The yo Hindu thinker does not believe in cults or creeds. They impede ! thought. That is one of the reasons why he broke with Dr. Annie Besant, leader of the group of theosophists who discovered him in India and proclaimed | him the “great teacher,” one who | would inherit the spirit of Christ. But Krishnamurti is now quietiy re- vealing to his followers, knew he was | not divine. He left theosophy to found | the Order of the Star, hoping to make it purely an organization of thinkers, world-wide in scope. Now he sees that | what he builded has become almost a religion, and he does not want that. ) “You can not systematize thought,” he is telling pilgrims from many parts of the world. “When you begin to do that, thought developes into a cult, and | the moment one affirms belief in some | cult or creed that moment one ceases o grow. Study Given Theosophy. “I give to theosophy the same study I give to all religions. I think what I may, and pass on, leaving it with other discarded beliefs. One must seek and find for one’s self the truth that is in truth, the falsehood that is in the false. So many are unwilling to try to think. They prefer form and ritual by which they may be told they are saved.” After dissolving the order, Krish- namurti possibly will retain a skeleton organization to help distribute the lit- erature he prints, but there will be no mistaking his stoic_philosophy for re- ligious doctrine. He will return via Europe to India. As in the past his talks with his fol- lowers here are pleas for simplicity, honor, decency and quiet living. He is asking them to return to the simple things of life #nd avoid pomp, sham and ceremony. Those listening to him find that he has aged markedly during the last 12 months. While still unlined, his bronzed, delicately chiseled face has taken on a sterner case, and the eyes show the fatigue of one who has been broken in a vain endeavor. Krishnamurti is convinced that he has been misunderstood; that his cry has fallen on deaf ears, (Copyright, 1929 RAIN AND HAIL DAMAGE APPLE AND PEACH CROP| Special Dispatch to The Star.
