by Gov. Smith and is opposed by the
Republica 1t is expected TO be a
big issue in the next gubernatorial
campaign.
Despite oppressive heat, standing
room was at a premium in the big
hall. Gov. Smith based his indorse-
ment of the block issue of 500 000.-
000 to be spent over a period OF 10
years, on the ground that a pay-as-
.you-go policy was false economy. as
shown by the condition of several i'm
portan State activities.
Gov. Miller contended the policy to
he set up by the bond issue meant an
abnega ton of one of the checks held
by the people against legislative ex-
travagance." If the issue was ap-
proved. he warned. there were many
visionary schemes waiting for the
graz bag
Audience Divided Equally.
The audience was unusually atten-
tive. applause being frequent, but ap-
parentiy equally divided.
A great wave of applause greeted
Gov. Miller's tribute to Gov Smiths
presidential aspirations. People rose
TO their feet and cheered for three
minutes, shouting Smiths name.
There were some Kisses when a
drop was let down on the stage bear

would not be enough; 1t must be
supplemented by another convention
checking private manufacture or

sufficient, he asserted, for while force
prevailed as the dominating factor In

world must not be surprised II the
nations sought to become stronger.

Informers Will Be
Rewarded in Wet
!. Case Convictions
find RUM PICKET
BOAT WITH Grew 4
AND WOMEN, drunk

New Bedford, Mass, May e.-The
coastguard rum picket boat CG-2s40
said to have been missing from it's
Cuttyhunk base for two days, was
found today at Kelly's Wharf in Fair
haven last night with crew of four
somewhat Intoxicated and engaged in
entertaining two women aboard.
This was the charge made today by
Lester w. Jenney of Mattapoisett,
whose following up report made to
him by Postmaster D. Leon Kelley of
Fairhaven of unusual proceedings
aboard a government vessel tied up at
his dock, resulted in the arrest of the
crew by Boatswain Gray, commander
of coastguard patrol boat CG-2S7, tied
up at the state pier here, last night.
Mr.. Kelly. knowing of Mr.. Jenney's
interest in the war on rum smuggling,
notified him of what he had seen and
Mr.. Jenney Immediately left his home
in Mattapoisett and drove to the state
pier in New Bedford, where he picked
up Boatswain Gray and one of the lat
ter's petty officers. He conveyed them
to Kelly's Wharf. There, Mr.. Jenney
said, they found the picket boat. It's
crew of four were all more or less the
worse for drink, Mr.. Jenney declared.
Two women, who were brought to the
wharf in a taxi from New Bedford
shortly after the coastguard vessel
made fast to the dock about seven in
the evening, were aboard with the
coastguardsmen, Mr.. Jenney asserted.
When Mr.. Gray sized up the situa-
ton, Mr. Jenney said, he placed the
men under arrest and ordered his petty
officer to pilot the boat over to the
New Bedford side of the river and tie
1t up alongside his vessel.
This noon neither Boatswain Gray's
craft nor the picket boat were at the
wharf. It was Mr.. Gray's intention
last night, Mr.. Jenney said, to report
the incident to the coastguard head
quarters at New London and ask Tor
instructions.

PROBE OF TALKING
MOVIE FEATURING
CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Washington, May 6.-(AP)-Al-
legged use of talking motion pic
ture of President Coolidge in a stock
selling campaign at New York was
ordered investigated by the depart
ment Of justice today at the sugges-
ton of White House officials.
The attention of the president was
called to the matter today through
published reports and an immediate
investigation was ordered.
The film is understood to be one
which shows the president deliver
ing an address and has an attach
ment repeating his words. Such a
film was taken of President Coolidge
last fall, when it use was considered
in the election campaign. Such use
of the film,. however, was not APP
proved.
The investigation was ordered on
the basis of a story appearing this
morning in the New York Herald to
the effect that statesmen were using
the film of the president in selling
stock in the Deforest Phonofilm
Corporation. The story said that in
the last week statesmen had report
ed sales of $145,000 in the stock.
James w. Elliott was mentioned in
the story as the head of the sales
force, which was said to number
800.
President Coolidge has posed twice
for Lee Deforest, inventor of the ma
chine, which records the voice with
the picture. Such a picture was
taken of him first last fall as a test
for consideration of the Republican
national committee for campaign
purposes. 1t was not used, however,
and recently Mr.. Deforest, at the
request of William Randolph
Hearst, the publisher, again filmed
the president and this picture was
reproduced at dinner of editors
in New York.
officials here assumed that the pic
ture mentioned in the Herald Tri-
bune story was the one made last
fall, but they were sure no authority
had been granted for use of either
for the purpose described.
