WASHINGTON, July .7.-C Calvin Coolidge, IT,. was typical American boy, mischievous and full of visor, but in public alwaysN quiet and demure. He always was the first with the hearty laugh, however, sat the slightest provocation.
 He hasa remarkably sweet disposi- tion for q boy,' q close friend Of the family remarked recently, but make no mind about it, he's,all boy" s
 Calvin was born April .13, 1908, at Northompt0n, Mass., and went through the grade schools of that city and then entered the high school, completing the first year after his father had come to Washineton as vice president in 1921.

John is to enter Amherst, the Presidents alma mater, this fally and Calvin was to have followed him.

I3,OOO MEN MARCH
 ON BRAZIL CAPITAL
Move Regarded AS Serious At tack On Federal Government
fRv Assnciat6d Pressl

BUENOS. AIRES, July 7.-An army of 5000 men, composed of Sac Paulo state forces, with some federal troops, are marching toward Rio Janeiro, ac- cording to reports gathered by cor respondent of the La Nation, who has returned to the Argnetine border after a trip into southern Brazil.
 In general, the news from Brazil con- cerned the Sac Paulo instruction con tinues vague, but sufficient has been learned to leave little doubt that the movement is of formidable character politically and is aimed at the federal government.
 It is learned here from reliable sources that the outbreak was engi- neered by political opponents of Presi- dent Bernardes, residing in Rio, who, working through sympathizers in Sac Paulo, induced a contingent of persons there, supposedly supporters of Senor Bernardes, to join them. The plan was to seize political control of that state which would be used as a weapon to accomplish the downfall of the fed eral government.

MOBILE, Ala, July 7.-(SpeciaI Leased WiFe.) Federal prison sen tences on nine men. including former Chief of Police F. J.. 0sShaughnessy and former Chief Field Deputy Sheriff George l.. Donaghue, were imposed by Judge Robert II. Erwin in the federal coart today. on charges growing out of the recent wholesale liquor. investigation and bonds for $5,00O each were fixed for the hearing of a motion for m ap- zeal. sax ,,
 O'Shaughneesy. Donaehue and Percy H. Kearns, well-known attorney. were sentenced to serve the maximum terms of two years in the Atlanta federal ptnitenfiafy on charges of conApiring to violate the national prohibition law and conviction on the same charges brought sentences of year and six months to John H, MeEvoy and Harry O'Conncr and terms of q year and a day to Benjamin F.

 : Cash Fines Impoasdi
 Perry Collins was given six months in the Mobile county jail John T. Me- namara, who pleaded guilty, was given three months in the county jail, Tom t,orSo, who admitted to paying money for protection. was fined $25. All the defendants who turned states evidence in the case, including Charles SchPei' ner, Jacob NuckerrAan, lsadore Maisel, Isadore Bsrihann and Lloyd D'llard, were fined $25 each.
 Fines for charges of violation of the prohibition law under several other counts against Corso were paid with the fine imposed yesterday amounting to $500. ,.
 The sentences came as an aftermath to the huge elean-llp last December and attracted unusual interest. The court heard their penalties without comment.
 o'Shaughneasy and Donagbue were given longer terms, Judge Erwin said. because they were officers and sworn uphoIders of the law and were more guilty in the violations than the rest. kearns, the judge said, is an attorney and was more guilty because he is supposed to know the law. False testi- mony given on the witness stand by McEvoy and QConnor when they de- nied connection with the charges brought them heavier sentences than usual, Judge Erwin. charged.
 The appeal was based on alleged er- TOTS in the conduct of the trial, in- cluding 166 which are enumArated in .he case of Dnnaghue. and a notice of appeal vas given by Attorney ". H. Ambrecht. A motion for new trials, was filed. Mr. Ambrecht told the court, and Judge Erwin, ruling on it, declared it may be considered overFuled.
 According to attorneys. the maximum sentence on a charge of conspiracy to violate the national prohibition law is q term of two years in the federal ltniteHtiary at Atlanta and a fine of Sl0,U00. No RAes were assessed by the court where prison sentences had keen givn.

M ADOO STRATEGY IS SUSPECTED BY UNDER WOOD
Senator Would Keep Two
 Thirds Rule For South's Sake
CBy Stan COrrespOndent)

CONVENTION HALL. NEW YORK, July 7!-Senator Oscar Under wood, Alabama's candidate for the presidency, when interviewed at his headquarters, across Twenty-seventh street from Madison Square Garden, tonight following the reduction of the McAdoo vote to a figure below that of Al Smith, expressed belief that the long expected break up" was en route.
 The senator, however, was quick to add ,"unlesS McAdoo is using strategy" that conditional clause is giving all other candidates reason for doubt, for while many delegates believe McAdOo has shot his bolt, equally as many be- lieve that he can come back when he desires to come back.
 Senator Underwood was apparently optimistic. To his immediate callers he was characteristically gracious. Members of the delegation thronged through his quarters, some simply to speak to him, others to offer advice, and others inquiring for suggestions. Among. the delegates gathered at one time with the candidate were Congress man Oliver, A. NJ. Tunstall, Governor Kilby, Forney Johnston, Frederick |. Thompson, John H. Bankhead, Ray Rushton and c. E. Melvin.
 Congressman Oliver talked with the senator regarding the abrogation of the twO-thirds majority rule, which it is believe will eventually be proposed. Senator Underwood repeated a state ment that he had previously made to The Age-Herald and Register cores spondent, in which he declared that for his own advantage, he did not care for, the rule, but that it's retention woudl keep for the south a great power to prevent in the future the nomination of some individual who might be ob- noxious to the south.

Smith Holds Firm
 Governor Smith throughout tn e whole days operations held his place with little fluctuation. On the last ballot Saturday he had 367 votes, and on the last ballot tonight he had 361 13. Neither represented the high water mark which he reached again today on the eighty-third ballot with S6S, which was two more than he needed to main- tain a one-third veto. As the balloting closed tonight Governor Smith was short of the veto power but he had driven his opponent from his point of vantage and passed him in the vot- ing.
 During the day, Mir. McAd0O had lost Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Oklahoma and Nevada. They did not all go to his opponent, to be sure, but they went out of his column. Missouri went to Senator Glass, Mis- sissippi to Senator Ralston, Kansas to Gov. Jonathan Davis, Iowa to Edward T. Meredith, her favorite son; Okla homa to Senator Owen, and Nevada first to Smith and then to Governor Ritchie of Maryland.
 The choices of all the states mem toned were characterized as stopping places in transit, for they are expected to turn up in the column of whatever compromise candidate finally is agreed upon.
 Senator Ralston, after having for mally withdrawn his name from the convention last Friday found himself in the best position of all the fourteen minority candidatse as the result of today's balloting. After his withdrawal he had continued to receive scattering votes from. the sixty fourth to fhe eighty-first. On the eighty-second he had received only 24, but on the four succeeding ballots after Indiana put his name back in the voting, his total shot up to 93 votes, only four less than

MDONALD .SCARES
 COMMONS. BY HURRIED TRIP.
Baldwin And Asquith Want Negotiations
 Made Public
tBy Asslo.eIated 3 Pressl

LONDON, July 7..-Prime Minister MaeD surprised the House of Com mons today by the announcement. that misunderstanding which had arisen with the French government oyer the invitations to the interallied conference at London had caused him to accept the suggestion of Premier Herrot of France to pay n hurried visit to Paris to smooth out the difficulties.
 The members of the House evidently were uneasy and mystified. Both former Premier Asquith and former Premier Baldwin, leaders respectively of the liberals and conservatives confessed themselves perplexed by Mir. MacDon- dds statement, Mir. Asquith declaring himself ''bewildered regarding what has happened and what is going to hap pen.'' s' .'A
 Want Terms Published
 . Both called for immediate publication of the terms of the memorandum. in- cluded in the invitations to the allied powers to attend the proposed confer enee. Es
 The prime minister's explanation was that the memorandum simply amounted to the minutes of the conversations at Cheduers, winch had beens Communicated to the French foreign office in con formity with the usual procedure. after M. Herriot's visit and that, as it was the outcome of the French premier's visit to London, it had not been con sidered necessary to send formal in- vitation to France.
 Nothing Binding
 Mfr. Macdonald insiste,; there was nothing binding upon either government in the Chequers' discussions. He ad- nitted he had made the suggestion to M. Herriot that the conference when it met, should fix an appointed day in August or September on which the Dawes report should be put into com plete operation. He further emphasized the emergency of obtaining an agree ment in the proper form, signed, sealed and delivered, for putting {. Ie Dawes report into operation which lie said would necessitate Germany's signature. He maintained that something more than a mere legal doc iment ought to be obtained from Germany. r.-.
 Germany's signature, the prime min ister continued, should carry real moral obligation and not mere forced assent Therefore, he added, it had been sug- eested that when the time comes we should be able to have discussion with the German delegates. This, Mir. Mac Donald intimated, had been suggested to M. Herriot, but there had been no agreement on the mattar I'd .M1 Herriot ', had gone away with his hands free.
