Explaining in reference to his re-
fusal to appoint state committee
for Defense Day observance that he
was the first governor to oppose
Mobilization Day" and that he did
so on principle. Governor Baxter is
sued statement Wednesday in
which he declared that he resented
the United States War Departments
representative in Maine informing
him that he had failed in his du-
tics as governor"
Governor Bakers statement was
made with the belief that Major Da-
vid Hayes. who criticized him at
Rumford for opposing Defense Day
plans, was an officer of the regular
army. In view of that the governor
sent a telegram to secretary of War,
Weeks, demanding a public apology
and the removal of the officer from
the state.
1t was later learned that Major
Hayes Is a private citizen of Rum
ford, the local superintendent of the
Maine Central railroad, who served
in the World War overseas, and was
honorably discharged with the rank
of major of engineers. He was in
no way the emissary of the war de-
partment. carrying no message or
authority from the department and
spoke in Rumford as a private citi-
zen at public meeting. Major
Hayes. it was said in Rumford, holds
a reserve commission as do thous-

ing difficulty, because of sickness in
the family, in getting in the crops, the
president volunteered to help out for
a while this afternoon. Rain shortly
after noon. however, forced the family
to leave the front porch for seats about
the stove in the living room, and Mr..
Coolidge was forced to stay inside.
During the day Mr. Coolidge re-
manned close at home and received
only a few intimate friends. This
morning he dispatched telegram of
congratulations to Charles G. Dawes,
his running mate, on the latter's speech
of acceptance. to which he with his
family listened on the radio last night.
Short walks about the home and atten-
ton to some correspondence occupied
the rest of the day.
Mr.. Coolidge was accompanied by
Mrs. Sarah Pollard, Mr.. Coolidges
aunt, of Proctorsville. VT, to the Gem

London Agreement

Paris, Aug. 20.-(By A. P.)-Parlia-
mentary groups today were generating
enthusiasm or repression. according to
their political completes, but even
Premier Herriot's worst enemy would
not predict his fall when he faces the
legislature tomorrow. His friends say
that the approval of the London ac-
cord is certain, while his adversaries
expect merely to give him a few dis
agreeable houhS.
NJ. Herriots political enemies do not
dare to attempt an overthrow of the
government now that an apparent So
luton of the reparations question has
been reached. NJ. Poincare's course is
still unknown, but it is believed he
will make bitter analysis of the pre-
mier's negotiations in London.
Former Finance Minister Klotz has
become the spokesman for n group that
insists parliament ought not to be ask
ed to act without discussing the COM
plete text drafted in London.
There aer many who believe the
Dawes plan replaces the treaty of Yer
sailles and must be ratified by parlia-
ment after it is signed.

Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Especial to kennebec JournaD
Pittston. Aug. 20.-A Democratic
rally was held here this evening at
the Order of Moose hall and al
though the weather was not ideal
large crowd was in attendance. Allen
Ford, candidate for representative to
Legislature and chairman of the
town committee presided and intro
duced the speakers. Mrs. Abbott
Mcmahon of Virginia was the first
speaker and talked about the issues
of the campaign, appealing to the
voters to think, and vote independ-
emily after studying the issues and
fitness of the candidates. She re-
ferred to the Khan deploring the
tendency to forget what our consti-
tuition stands for and asking that we
abandon prejudice and intolerance.
The next speaker was the Rev.
Frank Phalen who spoke as a per-
sonal friend and former pastor of
Mr.. Pattangall. giving many reasons
why the people of Maine should sup
port his candidate in September. He
also referred to the Khan saying that
evidently people had forgotten
those who had helped them in the
French Revolution and that in the
state of Maryland the Catholics set
the first example of religious free
dom by having in their constitution a
clause which allowed personal lib
erty in the manner of worshipping
God, and Protestants from New
England who were being prosecuted
by the Pilgrim fathers were only too
glad to go to Maryland and take ad-
vantage of this but when they gain
ed strength enough they turned
around and changed the constitution
in Maryland and began to prosecute
the very people who had offered
them refuge.
The next speaker was Mrs. Phil
ip Howard of Rockland and she
spoke in French receiving great APP
plause from the French speaking
people who were present as she de-
livered her message in a very charm
ing manner. Mrs. Orrin Frost told
OF organization work and sold some
cook books.

new PROBLEM FOR
u. s. WORLD filters

On Board the Z. S. Cruiser Rich.
mond, Reykjavik, Iceland, Aug. 90
(By A. P.)-Rear Admiral Thomas P.
Magruder. when his flagship, the
Richmond, put into Reykjavik this
morning admitted a further delay in
the flight would necessitate refuel-
ling the patrol vessels at Rosyth,
Scotland. or elsewhere.
Flight Commander Leighton, who
returned to Reykjavik on board the
Richmond after having made an air
reconnaissance along the Greenland
coast in one of the planes of the cruz
ser Raleigh, reported the entire coast
in the vicinity of Angmagsalik is IN
suitable for landing purposes. owing
to ice. He said that in the event of
forced landings the planes could find
no shelter.
When the Richmond anchored this
morning a gale was raging and Lieu
tenants Smith and Nelson and Lieu
tenant Crumrine OF the air service
had difficulty in boarding her for
conference with the admiral.
The admiral presented to the avn
ators the difficulties OF the situation
from the naval standpoint. laying
stress on the fuel scarcity. Lieuten-
ant Smith earnestly pointed out that
it was possible for himself and Lieu
tenant Nelson to make the remain
der of the flight without delay.
Lieutenant Locatelli. the Italian
aviator. came on board the Rich
mond during the conference. He ar
ranged with Admiral Magruder to
permit his representative, Lieuten-
ant Nareschalchi, to ship on board
the Richmond.
Later in the day Lieutenant Smith
said: Il am suffering over this de-
lay as much as anybody I am anx-
ious to get back to America. We will
move quickly when we start"
The suspense is seriously affecting
Lieutenant Crumrine, according to
his friends. They say the officer has
been on the point of nervous
breakdown during the past few days.
The prospect of Il fresh start on
the journey tomorrow morning ap-
peared this evening to have hearten-

Would Drive Out
Promoters Cemetery
Lots for Investment

Portland. Me, Aug. ESTABLISHMENT
of members of the Association of
Cemetery superintendent in a cam
paign to drive out promoters of
cemetery lot sales for investment
purposes was sought at today's ses-
sion of that organization by A. w.
Brown. sales director of Elmwood
Cemetery at River, Grove, Chicago.
An address on markers. monuments
and other cemetery memorials was
delivered by s. j. Perrott. superin-
tendent of Ferncliff Cemetery at
Springfield, Ohio, who told of the
modern trend in cemetery layout and
stressed the need of educating the
public to the necessity of harmonious
desikn and arrangement in burying
grounds.
After Mr.. Browns address, on mo-
ton of Edward r. Longstreth, sec
rotary of West Laurel Hill Cemetery,
Philadelhia, a committee was APP
pointed to draw up plans by which
state law officials all over the coun-
try may be consulted as to the best
way to eliminate pcrnicious ceme-
terry lot selling.
1t was suggested that blue sky laws
onGthe statute books in some states
might serve the purpose of the plan.
The general committee is to report
to the association before adjournment
TT ursday on it's conclusions.
Mr.. Brown in his talk on "Perni-
cious Selling of Cemetery Lots as an
Investment" brought out that there
is much speculation of this sort in
Illinois, particularly in Chicago and
Cook county. and in California. Sell
ing organizations buy up property.
which some of the statesmen never
personally see. but sell from paper to
prospects. he said.
