PLEADS FOR RETURN
TO FAITH IN IDEAL S
American Home Must Be Restored.
Minister Tells Kiwanis
Meeting.

The people need to come back to
a faith in ideals, God and country in
commemorating this Fourth of July,
in order that today, the anniversary
of the signing of the Declaration of
independence, may be better cele-
brated than previous anniversaries,
Rev. DR.. Phillips, the new rector of
the Church of the Epiphany, Episco-
pal, told the Kiwanis Club at a lunch
con in the Washington Hotel yester-
day.
There is a great need today Of lead
ers who are willing to fight for
ideals, he pointed out, and told of the
necessity of a greater solidarity
within the homes in this country.
until the American home is re-
stored to the honor and solidarity
that God intended this nation cannot
go forward, he said. The virtue of
women might we'll be reckoned along
with the chivalry of men, he conf

There was a hurried conference.
and the gate opened just enough for
the keeper to poke his head out and
shout "how about taking those
leather-lunged infants of yours out
to the bleachers.' They looked a
bit too husky for him. Then Burns
was obdurate and after another con-
vention between the gate keepers.
the portal was open and The Star
carriers filed inside.
Straight to the leftfield stands they
plunged, where they could hoop and
howl to their hearts content. The
first person to greet them was Nick
Altrock himself, who was knocking
some high ones to the outfeld in
practice. One look, and Nick's face
beamed, Turning to face the stand,
he batted an easy one into the cheer
ing throng of kiddom and for the
next minute there was a wild scham-
BILE for the pill.
An elongated youngster with sandy
hair and plenty of freckles finally
bobbed up from the squirming mass
with the coveted rawhide. That ended
that session, until Babe Ruth made
a mess of things by tossing a per
fectly good ball bearing his sigma
ture into their midst again. This
time nobody knew who just got the
pellet, but suffice to say, that it was
never seen on the diamond again.
There was little to indicate that
this was Independence day except
the crowd, and it might have been
mistaken for an average Sunday
gathering. Only two or three times
did the blast of a fire cracker add its
clamor to the din of human voices
that swelled out over the grandstands
like a roar of the mad surf. When
there was an occasional pop OF d
fire cracker, the eyes of watching
policemen glared SO fercely it was
never repeated.

FACES
ASSAULT CHARGE
Reporter of The Star Was
Handled Roughly at Scene
of Fire.

Daniel 8. Ring, police reporter for
The Evening Star, bent on the peace
ful pursuit of giving the public an
account OF fire on B street north
west. near 9th street, today, found
excitement greatly out of proportion
to the size of the blaze he was in
Vestfgating when he was uncere-
moniously set upon by a policeman
OF the first precinct who apparently
mistook the reporter for the incendiary,
IL there was one.
AS a result The Star is unable to
give it's readers the story of the
blaze to which they are entitled. There
was little, If any, blaze to report,
but as for excitement, the reporter
will tell the world that fire is some
thing to be remembered. AS a re-
suit he stands charged on the books
Of No. 1 precinct with Failing to
stay back of the fire lines"

porter, thereby leaving the impress
sion that he would have thought 1t
all right to treat just a plain citizen
as he treated Ring.
Bystanders insist that Hartmann
didn't give Ring any time in which to
establish his identity. Capt Brown
of No. /. who stood by while the pris-
oner was being taken to the wagon,
admits that he yelled to Hartmann,
That's Dan Ring Of The Star" but

parently befogged by the smoke. and

on.
Well, Dan got a nice ride in one OF
those patrol wagons about which he
has written so often and learned on
the way what a policeman frankly
thinks about reporters in general.
,The whole thing will be aired In
Police Court and later before the po-
lice trial board. Charges of assault,
false arrest and abuse of authority
will be filed against Hartman and
pressed vigorously. 1t will be insist
ed that the fact that Ring is a report
er has no bearing on the matter at all
that the policeman would have been
equally blamable had the assault
been committed on any citizen.

GIRL EATS FIREWORKS
THINKING IT'S CANDY
Tinfoil Covered "Writhing Snake
Looks Delicious to Little
Helen-WiIl Recover.

Mistaking an arsenic concoction
works-snake when ignited, for a
milk chocolate-drop with tin foil
around it, little Helen Kicker, two
years old, had a close call from
poisoning herself when she ate the
firework material at her home, 708
7th street northeast, last night.
She is at Children's Hospital today,
the first youngster in the hospital as
a Fourth-of-July patient, but she is
expected to be at home again this
evening.
Last night little Helen started ex-
pIoring for her favorite candy-those
little chocolate drops, called "buds"-
which have tin foil around them. She
pulled a chair over to the buffet and
mounted it. = She saw a box on the
buffet. Opening it, she smiled. Inside
was something that looked for all
the world like the chocolate she
loved. So she ate it.
Later she ran up to her mother,
Mrs. Helen Kicker, and complained of
not feeling we'll.
Nothing more was thought of it,
because she started playing as usual.
But in about half an hour, Helen
had vomiting spell. 1t probably
saved her life. She then sank into a
semi -comatose state.
Her parents sent for DR.. Henry G.
Rawson of 1131 Sth street northeast,
who transferred the patient to Chill
drens Hospital in his own automo-
bile; There the stomach pump was
used
Detective Harry Evans bought several
of the firework snakes and will have
them analyzed by chemist. Detective
Evans also found several fireworks
labeled poison" A further inveetiga-
tion will be conducted, and it is likely
that the result will be the placing of
several classes of fireworks on the
barred list by next July 4.

PRESIDENT PASSES
H|S52D BIRTHDAY
Congratulations of Family
Very SimpIe-Greetings
From Massachusetts.

Today Is President Coolidge's fifty
second birthday anniversary, but this
fact brought no change in the daily
routine Of the quiet family occupying
the White House. Nothing was plan
ned In the way of celebration. AS
a matter of fact, the great occasion
was just barely observed President
Coolidge was born in Plymouth, VT,
July 4, 1872.
1t was explained that the Coolidges
are not much for making a fuss over
birthdays. 1t has been a custom of
long standing for the adults OF the
Coolidge clan to refrain from giving
presenst as birthday greetings. The
Executive, Of course, received the
boys, who are hame from school be-
Tore going to a citizens military
training camp. These manifestations
were simple in form, but cheerful,
and were very quickly disposed of.
No Birthday Cake.
There were no special decorations
about the rooms of the White House
and there was no birthday cake.
However, the President received
HaSSSneOC Va SoHS ana
good wishes. Some OF these were
from relatives, come from intimates,
but most Of them from admirers and
loyal supporters and wellwishers
throughout the country.
President Coolidge was unmistak-
ably impressed with the greetings
sent to him today by the folks back
in Massachusetts," This impre ssive
birthday greeting was in the form of
letter or congratulation signed by
more than 10000 citizens of Massa-
chusetts and was delivered in person
by western Union messenger boy
who had made the trip from Boston
to Washington with the message.
Photographed With President.
Louis Demontreux, seventeen yearu
old, was the messenger given the
honor OF making this delivery. He
was given as memento the pencil
used by the President in signing for
this message, and had the further
honor Of being photographed with
Mr.. Coolidge.
Alanson B. Houghton Of New York,
United States ambassador to Ger
many, who has returned to his coun-
try for vacation, and Mrs. Hough-
ton, who arrived at the White House
wednesday afternoon, are still guests
at the White House. 1t is thought
likely they will leave for New York
tonight
There is a probability that the
President and has family may go
the Mayflower this afternoon
for cruise that will keep them out
of the city until Monday morning.
