Buperior, Wis, July 16 (P—Secre- tary Hoover arrived here today at 8:27 a. m., on board his special train from Washington to visit President Coolidge. Sirens were blowing and bells were ringing as the train pulled tnto the station with a large crowd waiting. " Large crowds had been waiting for over one hour. The “presidential rominece appeared on the rear plat- form of his car came to a standstill.

Secretary Hoover emiled and waved at the crowd which pressed all around the car and prevented him and his party, including Repre- sentative and Mrs. Tilson of Con- recticut from descending to the plat- | torm. Police reinforcements, made a way through the crowd and enabled Mr. Hoover and his party to abandon the train. Two bands struck up at this point competing with the ap- er welcome., Amid the republican nominse was intro- duced to other membgrs of the re- | ception committee. In 1t Hoover, as the procession through the crowd-lined streets, were Mrs. Hoover and Col. Latrobe, aide to the president. Their machine was followed by one containing Ev- erett Sanders, secretary to the presi- dent, and Mrs. Sanders. The repubMean presidential nomi- nee rode in an open car bare-head- od, despite the unusually warm sun. He was applauded enthusiastically the entire route through the town, and responded by waving his straw hat, bowing and smiling. Mrs. Hoov- er smilingly acknowledged the greet- ings of the bystanders. Because of the intensity of the sun and the dust of the country roads, a closed car awaited the sec- retary at the edge of the city to complete the remainder of the fort mile drive to Cedar Island lodge. The parade was headed by a drum corps, while immediately following the car of Secretary Sanders march- ed the Superior school boys’ Automobiles containing newspaper correspondents who accompanied Secretary Hoover on the epacial together with these who have been assigned to the summer White House completed the procession Banners reading “Superior is for | Hoover” and “We're for Hoove: were hung along the route, while the passed (Continued on Page Two) NEW PREREQUISITES ASKED FOR MARRIAGE Trinity Rector Demands Oath of Christianity of Participating Parties New York, July 16 (P—Partici- pants in a wedding ceremony in Trinity church (Episcopal) in fu- ture will be required to first sign a statement under oath that they have been baptized, have never been di- vorced, are of legal age, and enter the marriage freely “without any cutside influence or coercion what- soever.” Announcement of the new re- quirements appears in the Rev. Dr. Jaleb R. Stetson's statement in the vear book of Trinity church, of which he is rector, published today. Dr. Stetson urges clergymen to advise non-Christians to be wed by 2 civil officer. He arraigns those “thoughtless and grossly careless clergymen of various denominations who appear willing to perform a wedding ceremony for any who come to them to be married.” “The whole subject ofmarriage,” Dr. Stetson says, “ has been drag- ged in the mire of late years. . . . . Radical social reformers are pro- claiming that monogamous mar- riage is a convention the world has outgrown and that marriage in this modern enlightened state of society should be a temporary arrangement between a man and a woman to be ended at any time according to the will or the whim of the contracting parties. “These ideas ... are naturally agreeable to a great many people who have no particular standard of morals and would prefer when pos- sible to enjoy license with respecea- bility.” “This is no longer a Christian country,” he adds, “and we cannot expect that Christian moral stan- dards will be accepted or followed by the majority.” \ befcre the train | : platform, causing a new ova- | prominent | of the crowd in bidding Mr. | this roar ' + automobile with Secretary | band. | alls in Front of Mower; Boy Nearly Loses Hand John Koczera, aged 9 years of 70 Maple Hill avenue, suf- fered a painful cut on the right 1] wrist shortly before 10 o'clock this morning when he fell and came in contact with a horse drawn mower near his home.

The young daredevil was the second rid- er in a row of three motorcyclists going in the same direction, the of- ficer testified. Judge M. D. Saxe remarked that although the speed was not excessive and there was no testimony that the motorcyclist's’ actions had endanger- ed the safety of other persons, yet there was no question that he failed to exercise proper control of the ve- hicle and for that reason he made & finding of guilty and imposed a 25 Motorcyclist Standing Up on Seat With Arms Outstretched, Arrested and Fined on Recklessness Count visions for two weeks and had equipment to make a safe encamp- ment. Consequently no fear was felt for them and it was the plan of the Krassin to pick them up as soon as weather conditions per- mitted and then to go on in search of the six men of the Italia still missing and the Amundsen party which dropped from sight on June 1 after leaving Tromsoe, Norway. With the Chukhnovsky party picked up, there are now only two groups connected with the Italia tragedy definitely unaccounted for. One group consists of the six men who were carried off in the bag of the Italla when it was wrecked last May and the other group consists of the six men in the Amundsen party. There was some hope that these two groups may have joined., since Amundsen was known to be search- ing particularly for the bag party. fine of $25 and costs, remitting $10.

School Authorities Stumped By Lack of Interest Shown By Construction Con- cerns. Lowest Proposal Is Almost $150,000 Higher Than E\peclatmns Talk nst Appropriation Hurls. With only three bids submitted on the general contract for erection of an addition to the Senior High school, and with little prospect of having a building such as planned within $150,000 of the figure esti- mated by Architect Warren 8. Holmes of Lansing, Mich., members of the school accommodations com- mittee were plainly perplexed when they met in special session today, During the hecated discussion which preceded provisional accept- ance of the plan prepared by the Michigan architect, it was tacitly agreed that unless bona fide bids could be received to erect the struc- ture within a $350,000 figure, the sketches would not be accepted; also that the architect would receive nothing in the event that funds were not provided to carry out the pro- gram. The lowest proposal on the general { contract reccived was that of Geno. vese & Rich of Stamford, Conn., who oifered a bid of $394,880, as against $449,900 by the Hayes Con- struction Co., of this city, and $478.- {045 by the M.
