COOLIDGE WILL
REMAIN HOME
Over the Weekend Instead of
taking CruiSe-Cooler
Weather Promised

WASHINGTON. July 26.-Cooler
weather, bringing to an end the heat
wave prevalent in Washington all
week, led President Coolidge to
abandon today his usual weekend
trip aboard the Mayflower in favor
of weekend in Washington de-
voted to conferences and work on
his notification address.
He had several engagements ar
ranged for the forenoon today but
had so made his plans as to enable
him to leave Washington shortly af-
ter lunch on his weekly trip down
the Potomac on the Mayflower. His
plan is to spend part of the after
noon and evening in working out in
his mind the outlines of the notifica-
ton address, but tomorrow will be
devoted entirely to rest and attend
ance at the religious services he h $
directed be held each Sunday for the
members of his party. the officers
and the men of the Maybe over.
The directions which Mr.. Coolidge
has given the chief of navy chaplains
with respect to the holding of the
Sunday services are that the chap
lain detailed to the Mayfiower con-
duct the services as simply as he
would on any naval craft, and bear
in mind that his congregation con-
sists largely of enlisted men, even
though the President and possibly at
times cabinet officers might be pres
ent.

j. s. ACTION IN
PERSIA IS NEAR
Prepare to Protect Citizens in
that Country from Fur
ther Attacks

WASHINGTON, July 26. - state
Department officials prepared today
to formally ask the Persian govern
ment to take immediate measures to
protect American citizens in that
country from attacks and insults
from natives understood to be hostile
against foreigners as result of the
killing of Major Robert Imbrle,
American vice-consul at Teheran,
and developments following that af-
fair.
According to thu minister's des-
patches the Persian youth grabbed
the veil worn by Mrs. Imbrie, at
tempting to tear IT from her, and
at the same time expectorating upon
her person. The reported outrage
was said to have occurred at
Teheran last Tuesday.
A native policeman, reported to
have been some distance away from
the place where Mrs. Imbrie was at
tackled but who is believed to have
witnessed the affair, made no at
tempt to protect the woman or In
terfere with her assailant, the des-

EVACUATION
At SAC PAUL0
Federal Forces Beseiging In
surgents Await for Civil
ians to Quit City

BUENOS AIRES, July rs (By The
Associated Press)-Oficial informa-
ton received here from Rio Janeiro
explains that the Brazilian federal
forces now beseiging the insurgents
of Sac Paulo are awaiting Tor the
civil population to evacuate the city
before undertaking an operation to
overcome the rebels. 1t is asserted
that the insurrectionists can easily
be defeated when the opportune mo-
ment arrives.
In the meantime 1t is declared that
the federals are making steady ad-
vances and consolidating new posi-
tions. Official statements yesterday
disclosed for the first time that the
rebels hold Campinas, about fifty
miles north of sac Paulo, which
would seem to explain why the fed
erals have not yet completed their
announced plan of encircling the
city.

GIVE DATA
IN MOVE
FOR SPAN
investigators of Port Author
ity to Check Up Vehicles
on Lincoln Highway
FOR TOTTENVILLE BRIDGE
Preliminary Plans Will Be
Presented to Authorities
Within a Week

Beginninc next week investigators
OF the Port of New York Authority
will stop all vehicles on the Lincoln
Highway and inquire as to their
starting point and destination. This
Information has been forthcoming
from w. w. Drinker, chief engineer
OF the Port of New York Authority,
who also announced that the COM
piling of data on the ferries plying
between Staten Island and Now Jer-
sey has practically been completed.
The preliminary plans for the pro-
posed bridges, one between this city
and Tottenville and the other be-
tween Elizabeth and Rowland Hook,
have been completed and they will
be presented to the Perth Amboy
and Elizabeth authorities within the
next week.
The data collected on the ferries
between Staten Island and New Jer-
sey has been sent to Washington for
use in estimating the necessity for
the bridges, and will be returned to
the Port Authority in the near fu-
ture. The object of the Lincoln High
way investigation or survey, accord
Ing to Mr.. Drinker, will be to esti-
mate the probable number of veh-
icles that would use the bridges II
constructed, but who now follow
other routes rather than walt for
ferry service. No mention is made
Of the location on the highway where
the inspectors are to be stationed.
According to Mr.. Drinker, he made
| request in June to the mayors OF
Perth Amboy and Elizabeth and also
% the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment asking that committees be
appointed to confer with the Port
Authority board concerning the most
suitable approaches for the bridges.
Up to the present time, Mr.. Drinker
declares, he has been advised of no
action.
No sites for the bridges have been
decided upon as yet and Mr.. Drinker
holds that probably no definite site
will be decided upon until a public
meeting is held to consider the mar-
ter. This meeting may be held late
in August. At the present time the
Port Authority is considering the
complaint of the people of Totem
vile, who contend that a bridge
from Staten Island to this city
should have its approach in Totten-
Vile. Other propositions are also
being consid cred. but Mr.. Drinker
declared that the people of Totem
vile will be given every considera-
ton before the site is finally decided
upon.
Mr.. Drinker points out. however
that the bridge must be located so as
to serve people from all sections OF
Staten Island and the state as well
and that for this reason 1t will be
necessary that the most practical
lite is selected

LAND
CASE DATE SET
BY JUDGE DAILY.
Former County Judge Sits for
First Time on County Cir
cult Court Bench
DISP0SES OF 2 CASES

for striking the jury which will fix
the valuation of the much litigated
land of the w. Donnell Lumber
Company required by the state for
the bridg approach. Assistant At
torney General Newcomer who has
apparel for the state in the tangle
agreed with a representative of the
law flrm of McCarter g. English. of
Newark representing the Donnell
firm to combine both appeals when
the trial opens.
The Donnell concern appealed
against the award made by the con-
demnation commission, contending
that 1t was below its actual value.
The state in turn filed an appeal
against the sum awarded, believing
that 1t was excessive.
The jury will be asked to deter
mine the value of the land at the
time of taking out an order by the
commission for condemnation pro-
ceedings.
Judge Daily today signed a con-
firmation of award made by the COM
mission of assessments of the Bor-
ough of Metuchen in connection
with the new sewer project. The
commissioners awarded the property
owners the sum of S2,003.40. Mrs.
Laura Bassford objected against
the closing of the proceedings, say
ing that she did not see tho maps of
the lands acquired. Borough At
torney Wesley Benner told the OBJ
jector that the map was public rec
ord and has been at the office of the
borough clerk for inspection.
