COOLIDGE TO MAKE
few SPEECHES; WILL
keep ON HIS JOB

Washington. July DISQUALIFICATION
by President Coolidge in the national
campaign 10 expected to be limited to
less than q dozen speeches and to in
volve no extended campaign tour.
Developments during the campaign
may cause an alteration in the present
plans for the presidents campaign ac-
tivities. but it is now the strong belief
Of Mr.. Coolidge as we'll as Mr.. But
Ter and other leaders that executive
duties must receive first attention and
campaign requirements may be rele-
gated to secondary place. Such a
position is expected by Republican
leaders to recommend itself generally
to the American people regardless of
political affiliations.
Definite plans such as dates and
places for the addresses to be made
by Mr.. Coolidge have not been foImu-
lated, although the schedule was dis
cussed at last nights conference be-
tween the president and Chairman But
Ter. Some Of the addresses probably
will be made by radio from Washing
ton but 1t still is the plan for the
president to deliver several out-of-town
addresses after September l and be-
fore election day.
One address, probably the most i'm
portant the president will make dur
ing the campaign, will be delivered at
the notification ceremonies here August
II. Mr.. Coolidge also has an engage
ment to speak at the dedication here
early in October of the First Division
monument, and he then probably will
make his only address Of the campaign
to a soldier audience. No other dates
or places for addresses have even been
tentatively agreed upon.

Bridgeport, Conn.,. July 22-The
bodies of three of the seven children.
missing since last Thursday when
they started out in a canoe. were
found today. The recovery was
made within two hours after an un-
awaiting search of five days and
nights. The first two were found but
n short distance from where the party
started. They were Ernest Peterson,
3. the youngest of them all, and
walter Bergquist, IL. Both were
picked up by Fire Captain Thomas

Fairfield Beach. The third body was
that of Florence Benson, Is, the old
est OF the seven. 1t was found float
ing Off Seaside Park. a few hundred
feet below the main bathing pavilion
where hundreds were In swimming
at the time. Park Officer William
Halpin sighted the body.
The fathers of the two boys found
f,rst were on the shore when the
bodies were brought in and had to be
held back by force to prevent their

with many puzzling questions re-
.,rdinc different kinds and condi-
lions of ballots, already settled by
the Governor and Council, the pro-
v,css of the recount has been much
faster in the past two days due
largely TO the fact that the majority
NJ the problems now arising are
similar TO those already solved, and
thus some precedent has been estab-
ushed upon which to base a deci-
sion.
The Governor and Council were
busy from nine yesterday morning
until five last evening counting. and
In spite of the fact that they decid-
cd not to continue the count into
the evening, the half way mark was
practically reached, at the close OF
the session. The remainder of Ken
nebec county. and all Of Knox and
Lincoln counties were taken up and
ot the close OF the days work IA
towns In oxford county had been
completed. At the present pace, 1t
Is not unlikely that decision Will
be reached the first week In August.
It Is probable that the death OF
the wife of Chief Justice Leslie &.
Cornish will delay the decision
slightly as 1t was announced Tues
day that Governor Baxter had in
tended to present a series OF ques-
lions with regard to the interpreta-
ct n NJ thar
because of the death of Mrs. Cor
nlsh this would be put over for a few
DAYS. Il was necessary that the
questions be submitted to the Chief
justice himself. It is also probable
that on Thursday afternoon, the
count will not be resumed after the
dinner hour until after the time of
the funeral of Mrs. Cornish.
ON Tuesday. Governor Baxter. At
torncy General Ransford w. Shaw.
and the two candidates. Senator
Frank G. Harrington of Augusta and
Senator Ralph o. Brewster of Port
land held a conference in the Gov
crnors Office but nothing was made
public as to its purpose or result.
There was a rumor current Tues
dar that the Council would count on
alternate nights. thus making the
work slightly easier for them and at
the same time making 1t foster than
It would be IL they just counted
during the day. Whether this Will
be done could not be ascertained
Tuesday. although It was believed by
one official that there would be no
count this evening.
The count will be resumed at nine
o'clock this morning and 1t Is ex-
pected that the work will go along
as smoothly and swiftly as 1t has In
the past two days. $751;
Because of the necessity of having
the absentee ballots ready for dls-
tribution Mt the earliest possible
moment. the work of printing these
ballots has already been started.
Two sets of absentee ballots will be
printed, varying only in the name
OF the Republican candidate TOT
Governor.
These will be ready when the de-
cision is made by the Governor ana
Council and the correct set Will at
once he dispatched to the various
town clerks for distribution.

TEST OF kELLoGC'S
DIPLOMACY COMING
IN ALLIED PARLEYS

London, July 22-(By A. P)-
With the rallied conference on
the Dawes reparation plan not yet a
week old. the American ambassador,
Frank B. Kellogg. has been called
upon to play the delicate role Of
mediator, which all the delegations
confidently predicted would be his
sooner or later when the statesmen
opened their parleys here last We'd
nesday.
Mr.. Kellogg's opportunity came this
afternoon when the French ideas of
security were found to be out of har-
mony with the guarantees required
by American financiers who are ex-
pected to take up a considerable por-
ton of the 100000 900 pounds sterling
loan to Germany, with which the
Dawes plan is to be inaugurated.
The situation, although tense to-
night, Is regarded by most observers
as capable of amicable solution
through the Office of the American
ambassador and his colleagues. On
one principle all the delegations seem
still to be agreed-that the Dawes
plan affords the only solution for
Europe's ills, and that the alternative
Is chaos.
Accordingly. the position is one OF
anxiety. but not of dispair. and the
delegations do not regard the hitch
which has occurred because of the
bankers demands for protection OF
the loan in the light of crisis. 1t
is emphasized that the conference,
which has made such remarkable
progress during the first six days,
will yet find a way for the restoration
of the accord which characterized its
earlier important decisions.

Davis Will COnfeE.
With Pattangall
Some Day This Week

Dark Harbor, Islesboro, Me-, July %.
John w. Davis, Democratic presiden-
tial nominee, had his first political con-
ference today since he became a guest
at the summer home of Charles Dana
Gibson on Seven Hundrew Acre Island.
1t was with Homer S. Cummings, Dem
ocratic national committeeman from
Connecticut and chairman of the plat
form committee of the New York ma
tional convention.
Mr.. Davis telegraphed today to Will
liam r. Pattangall of Augusta, Demo-
cratic candidate for governor of Maine,
that he would confer with him here
either Thursday or Friday. whichever
would be the more convenient.
Before comforting with Mr.. Cum
mings. Mr.. Davis cleared up his press
ing correspondence and devoted more
time to the preparatory work on his
acceptance address. Again today he
emphasized his belief in brief political
addresses.
IT believe the radio will result in a
change in the whole form of our cam
paigning," he said. Radio audiences
will not listen to long political
speeches and those who follow the old
practice of long addresses will find
themselves without an audience before
the end"

Exercises in Commemoration
of Century Mark-Justice
Spear to Preside in Absence

Especial to Kennebec Iournnn

Especial to Kennebec JournaD
Wiscasset, Maine, July e3-Today
at Wiscasset many members of the
Bench and Bar of the State of Maine
as well as other interested persons
will gather to observe the Tooth an
niversary of the building Of the Lin
coin County court house.
Built of red brick, this court house.
the oldest in the State, now is in use
standing on the highest point in the
village of Wiscasset overlooking the
town. Very little is changed within
and without this historic old build
ing. The arched entrance which has
never failed to receive favorable
comments from visiting artists and
architects is an inverted arch of per-
feet design and workmanship. Inside,
the lower corridor Is fioored with
hammered split stone as is the curry
ing stairway leading to the upper
noor on which is the court room.
Very little indeed has been chang
ed in the court room. The same
judges bench is now in use where the
presiding justice held the first term
OF court, the clerks desk is the same,
The bar enclosure and jury boxes
have never been changed. Scattered
about the building are some of the
old chairs and settees in use when
the first term was held.
Three methods Of heating have
been used in this court house. Al
the first it was heated by fireplaces,
then came the old Franklin type of
stove, and at last the present modern
hot water heating plant. In its early
days the court room was heated by
two fireplaces in the rear of the court
room set in smaller inverted arches
like the entrance.
OF especial interest is the old gal
lery which has not been open for
several decades. The floor of this
gallery is of hand manufactured
boards some 80 inches in width which
today plainly shows the broad axe
marks.
The exercises today were arranged
by the Lincoln County Bar Associa-
ton and the committee in general
charge is composed of Hon. Cyrus r.
upper, of Boothbay Harbor, Judge
Oh the Lincoln municipal court ana
president of the association, and
Toward E. Hall, Esq, of Damariscot-
ia, the Dean of the County Bar.
The exercises will be held in the
old court room and will open at 10
o'clock this forenoon. after an ad-
dress of welcome, probably Judge
Albert NJ. Spear will be present as the
presiding officer. Chief Justice Cor
nish had planned to be present and
would have presided but for the re-
cent sudden death Of Mrs. Cornish,
which occurred this week. Mr.. VIII
liam d. Paterson will read a history
of the court house and the principal
address will be by Hon. Augustus f.
Moulton of Portland, of the Cumber-
land County Bar. After the close OF
the exercises a real Maine shore din
ner will be served at the Wiscasset
Inn.
