Crisfield Md, Sept. 15.-This little town experienced the thrill that comes once in a lifetime" yesterday morning when the presidential yacht Mayfiower, with President Coolidge and his party aboard on a weekend cruise, steamed into Crisfield harbor and tied up at thed ock.
 The presidential party was met by Mayor Charles L. Ward and several other citizens who had been con- fidentially apprised of the intended visit, and escorted to the Emanuel Methodist Episcopal church, where they heard a sermon by the Rev. John L. Johnston.
 Because word of the visit had been kept secret, very few persons saw the party, which included Secre- tary and Mrs. Hughes and their daughter, Secrteary Hoover and c. Bascom Slemp, arrived, but before the time the, church services were over and the chief executive had been taken on a sightseeing trip the news had travelled fast, and a large crowd was at the wharf to see the distinguished visitor depart
 President Coolidge and his con- panions smilingly returned the salu- tations of the townspeople but there was no handshaking or other dem onstration and the Mayflower quick ly cast off and continued on it's way

 OVER KHAN ACTION
Photograph Taken at Catholic Ceremony Causing Dissension

Des Moines, Sept. 1.-The photo graphing of Catholic banner plac- cd above the American flag here last week by alleged representatives of a local Ku Klux klan newspaper, had gathered such antagonism among city officials that a partial disruption of the present police force was not considered improbable, today.
 The photograph was made during the convention of the national con- ference of Catholic charities and two policemen were discharged by Mayor Carl Carver and the city council be- cause they were said to have allowed the klan photographers to execute their work. It was charged that the pboto was to be used as anti-Catho- lie propaganda and a reproduction of it appeared later in the week Tn the local klan newspaper.
 Following the action Of the city eouncil commissioner of public sal ety. John Jenney, Saturday refused fo abide by the body's decision and yeinstated the policemen, declaring fhere was no specific evidence against them. ,,,,
 Mayor Carver declared he would srs,st that the policemen be suspend ed pending an investigation by the tYvil service commission. The civil service commission and the city tounciI meet today Definite action oulths quarrel is expected to be tax en by both bodies.

Joughin, whose body was found In an apartment directly above that of Dr, Partridge. At the side Of
 
 Mrs. Joughin at the time was her husband, a distinguished neuroo- Eist. The latter is in hospital in a comatose condition.

TROOPS ARE USING
 JAPANESE RAILWAY
Chinese However, Have Not Yio.
 lated Any Regulations
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Tokio, Sept. 15.-The Associated Press learns that a portion of the troops of General Chang Tso-Lin have already moved and are still moving by way of the Japanese South Manchuria railway, presuma- bly, from the province of kirin and from Antung in Shenkiang, toward Mukden.
 It is auth oritatively stated that the Tokio government views this as "a matter of railway business" and as not amounting to Japanese aid for General Chang, which is not Japan's intention.
 It is explained that the usual pro- cedure in such movements has been followed; that General Chang has asked permission from the Japanese consul in Mukden, who, as a subord- mate of Count Kodama, governor of the Japanese leased territory in Kwangtung Peninsula, referred the request to Kodama at Dairen. The request, 1t is said, was granted and the movements of Chang's troop car ried out purely as matter of busi- ness"
 Chang, it is declared has not so far commandeered any South Manchuria railway rolling stock and has been | paying for all movements of his troops over that line. The matter | has not been referred to the authori- ties in Tokio as it has been consider ed purely a question for Count ko- dama and for the railway officials.
 Although dispatches to the verna- cular press here report an outbreak of hostilities on the Manchuria- Chihli border, officials here are not apprehensive that the fighting will result in a crisis which will call for any alteration of Japan's policy of watchful waiting. Japanese leaders are, however, admittedly following events with the keenest interest since Japan's most vital interests in China lie in Manchuria.
 The South Manchuria railway Is well outside the zone of probable hostilities and therefore 1t is con- sidered unlikely that the Japanese will be required to meet any graver question than the present railway business in troop movements
 The authorities here say that there is only a remote chance that the Chihli troops will break through and reach the South aMnchuria railway. but it is stated authoritatively that if that should occur, Japan will act resolutely to protect the railway and Japan's interests in the railway zon' It is believed here that both sides in the fighting will scrupulously avoid any collision with Japan.

 Godfrey Dewey, vice-president Of the Lake Placid club of New York. and D. P. Myers, representing the world peace foundation of Boston, have arrived in Geneva with other Americans and are urging that the existing institutions of international nature be consulted before the plans for the French project are definitely laid down. Mir. Dewey described the Lake Placid club to the league off cials as educational fin nature and desirous of having liaison with other international associations similar in character.
 Other institutions desirous of CO., operating with the new organization at Paris are the international insti- ute of bibliography and the union of international associations, both of which have their headquarters at Brussels. A delegation from the lat ter association has presented pei- ton to the league asking that their organization have the right of per- manent representation in the section of the league devoted to intellectual cooperation.
 The delegates also urged regular efforts towards coordination between the international associations and the league which would be divorced from all political considerations in a campaign for world pease!t They concluded by asking the league 10 convoke a conference of interested organizations to map out further program of cooperation.
 The French government has vol unteered to found and maintain the international institute for intellectual cooperation entirely at French ex- pense and to give the institute a character exclusively international under the direct control of the League of Nations. The offer is be- ing considered by the league assem- bly.
