COOLIDGE FISHES 7 HOURS ON LAK Tanned by the Sun, President to Try Again Today Yellowstone National Park, Aug. 35 (P—Exhilarated by his seven hour fishing expedition in Yellow- stone lake yesterday on which he re- mained until after dark, President Coolidge again cast aside his pre-! pared program to return to the lake nearby with rod and reel early to- day. “I have had the time of my life,” the president remarked as he step- ped wearily from his launch after 8 o'clock last night, carrying six good sized trout in his creel. Slightly weary from the long ex- pedition which had started nearly seven hours before, he nevertheless informed park. officials before retir- ing to bed that he would like to try his luck again early today and ar- rangements were made for the start at 7:30 o'clock this morning. Mr. Coolidge came home last night to an anxious wife. Mrs. Coo- lidge had waited some time for him in the lobby of the hotel and there ‘was obvlous concern about the hotel as the sun set and no sight of the president was visible across the broad expanse of blue water. But just as darkness was setting about the mountains two white specks were visible to those on shore who had fleld glasses and a moment later a speed boat with a reporter brought word that Mr. Coolidge was turning homeward. Slightly burned by the sun, the president walked calmly through the crowded lobby a short while later to the applause of guests who had shared some of the anxiety of the officlal party at the lateness of his return. Proudly showing his catch to Mrs. Coolidge, she astonished the presi- dent with the announcement that she had caught five trout herself during the afternoon. Mrs. Everett Sanders, wife of the president’s sec- retary, had caught two good sized trout also. AMERIGAN STARS MEET INVADERS National Rivalry Reaches Its High Mark Today Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 25 (®— International rivalry reached its high mark today in the national women's tennis championship tournament with seven of the eight matches in the third round slated to bring American stars ihto action against invading contenders. Nine Ameri- cans, six British and one Dutch play- er composed the surviving fleld. The native forces, headed by the tournament favorite, Miss Helen ‘Wills, and the defending champion, Mrs. Molla Mallory, faced formidable opposition in most of today's tests. Miss Helen Wills, who gave further evidence yesterday of being at the top of her game by crushing Mrs. Lillian Hester of Brooklyn, 6-0, 6-2, was drawn against Mrs. John Hill, English covered court champion who has dropped only one game to two opponents so far. Mrs. Mallory apparently hard-pressed in the sec- ond round to win from Mrs. Wil- liam Endicott of Boston, 6-4, 6-4, was expected to meet keen opposition from another star, Miss Gwendolyn . Sterry, the 22 year old girl who took a set from Miss Wills at Wimbledon. Miss Sterry won easily yesterday from Mrs. Anna Fuller Hubbard of Englewood, Md., 6-2, 6-1. In the other British-American matches, Miss Betty Nuthall, 16 year cld English star, was expected to meet her first major test againat Miss Peneclope Anderson of Rich- mond, Va.; Miss Eileen Bennett was bracketed with the 18 year old Cali- fornian, Miss Helen Jacobs; Miss E. H. Harvey was up against the third ranking Aemrican star. Miss Elea- nor Goss; while Miss Joan Fyy, sec- ond ranking British player, was a favorite over Mrs. Charlotte Hosmer Chapin. All of these players came through their second round matches easily with the exception of Miss Harvey, who was extended to an extra set to win from Mrs. J. Saunders Taylor of New York, and Miss Fry, who met unexpected but somewhat short-lived opposition from a California young- ster, Miss Marjorie Gladman. Miss Kea Bouman, the Dutch champion, who won her second round match easily from Miss May- me MacDonald of New York, was bracketed with Mrs. J. Dallas Cor- biere of Boston in today's opening match, scheduled at 2 p. m., eastern daylight time.

Before physicians established that his death apparently was due to asthma, police uncovered the re- markable life history of the man and fortune dropped to the position of porter at the Palace theater on Broadway. The police also learned that Roe, saw Mrs. Bache call for the moneyi" college man, had worked himself here and trailed her to the place where she and Dever were living.

Va., Aug. 25.—The only appointment of the governor of West Virginia which the State Senate refused to confirm this year was that of M. D. Cure, M. D., as superintendent of the state hos- pitals, up from porter to the position of head usher at the theater, despite the handicap of ill health and such poverty that he could not afford treatment. ‘When the elder Roe died in 1894 his books were still selling at the rate of 100,000 a year and it was sald that the son inherited more than $1,000,000. The younger Roe first gained prominence in 1901 when he was appointed consulting engineer of the Riverside Drive pro- ject, with a fee of about $75,000. His marriage to Miss Frances Doniphan Thornton in 1905 was attended by a long list of prominent persons. A year later word came from Cal- ifornia that his wife had obtained a divorce on the grounds of incom- patibility. aLter it was said that he went to South America and lost his fortune. When he returned to New York in 1913 he was offered the post of porter at the Palace theater and accepted without hesitation.
