NAHANT HoNoRs LODGE.
Town, Home of Senator Since Boy
hood, Pays Tribute.

BY the Associated Press.
NAHANT, Mass. November 10.-The
bells on public buildings in this town,
home of Henry Cabot Lodge since
boyhood, rang at 15-minute intervals
today.
Although he usually spent his Win
ters in Boston when not in Washing
ton or abroad, Senator Lodge was
always regarded as resident of
Nahant 1t was from Nahant that
he first entered public life, winning
an election to the Legislature in 1879.
He was frequently seen on horse
back riding along the streets of the
town or across the beach to Lynn.
On such excursions, kept up until
his illness last Summer, he was
always unattended. He loved the
sport and often said that conversa-
ton spoiled horseback riding for
him. He was moderator of the annual
town meeting for years.
Except on the occasion when the
League of Nations discussion was in
progress in the Senate and this year.
when the condition of his health pre-
vented, he had not permitted any
other interest to interfere with his
duties as moderator in presiding, at
the annual town meeting.
From his position as leader of the
United States Senate and one of the
outstanding figures in national af
fairs. he would return to his home
town and preside at discussions re-
garding the small routine of a little
New England town, and the town
meeting frequently was turned into
a homecoming reception for Nahant's
distinguished citizen. He also served
the town as a trustee for many years.

SEEKING WOMAN'S BODY
Hooks Fail to Locate Remains of
Mrs. r. L. Taylor, Drowned
While Fishing.

Dynamite and hooks are being used
by searchers for the body of Mrs.
RAYMOND L. Taylor, 1923 Euclid
street, who was drowned in the Po-
tomac River at Great Falls, while
on a fishing trip with her husband,
Friday afternoon. The search is being
conducted by Robert N. Taylor, her
brother-in-law.
Lieut.. Harry r. Lohman, in COM
mand of the Harbor police precinct,
accompanied members of his force to
the scene of the drowning and assist
ed in using hooks. Because of the
rocky condition of the bottom of the
river, however, very little headway
was made. Most of the hooks were
lost.
Police searchers did succeed in find
ing the fishing outfit Mrs. Taylor was
using when she slipped from the
rocks to her death. 1t was only a
short distance from where she was
drowned.
Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Thielmsn,
parents of the drowned woman,
reached here yesterday from Long
Island, N. Y, and Mrs Harry Web
len, sister of Mrs. Taylor, is here

mite revival. Of a volume to overcome
partially the recessions Of Midsummer
mer.
Although current production still
is considerably below the same period
last year. the board called attention
to important increases In September
and October over the volume of
factory output in June, July and
August 1t expressed satisfaction
that the recession which dropped pro-
duction in Midsummer to levels low
er than at any time since 1922 had
not brought about further decline
in the late Summer months.
The boards Views are markedly

Recent increases in industrial &C
tivity from the low level prevailing
during the Summer months" the
board said, mark the first substan-
tial improvement in industry since
early in the year. The recession
during the first half of 1924 which
followed the rapid but unsustain ed
recovery in January, brought the
volume of production in basic indus
tries by Midsummer to the lowest
level since 1922 There was no
further decline in July and August
and the increase in September re-
gained about one-quarter of the pre-
ceding decline.

William NJ. Butler, chairman of the
Republican national committee, and
Benjamin Loring Young, speaker of
the State House of representatives
Supporters of Mr.. Butler urged his
services to the party in the recent

a claim. Speaker Young, on the
other hand, stood aside from the con-
test for the senatorial nomination to
oppose United States Senator David
