plymouth, VT, Nov. 17.-(APl-
me condition of Colonel John Cool
ldge, father of the president, has
taken turn for the worse and Ia
now serious, his physician DR.. John
c. Cram of Bridgewater, said TODAY.
The heart block" from which he
has suffered became more pronounc-
ed yesterday and today, and he has
been ordered to sustain from all I'M
necessary activity.
DR.. Cram said that Colonel Cool
idge, although not in a critical state
was less well than he had been at
any time since last summer. The
physician is making two calls daily
to the Coolidge home. and will go
there again tomorrow morning.
DR.. Cram has as yet taken no
steps to call in the advisers who
were In consultation with him last
spring, including the presidents
physician. Major James r. Coupal.
II don't think IL is Serious enough
yet" he said. II have ordered him to
days because he has not been in the
best of health. His old trouble
seems to have returned but although
there is no way of forecasting what
turn 1t may take I do not believe
there are as yet any critical develop
ments in sight.
He must not attempt to do any
active work about the house for the
present because even slight exertion
might aggravate his condition"
Colonel Coolidge, who is so years
old. came to Boston last May for an
examination of his heart by DIR. Ar
thur l.. Chute, a specialist. His con-
dftion was then diagnosed as heart
block. His heart appeared to be
good, however, and few days later
he went to Plymouth with DIR. Chute
and other physicians. On May II.
however, he collapsed in fainting
spell, but without serious conse-
quences. He carried on his work
about the house and told callers he
was well.
On June q Colonel Coolidge be-
came suddenly i'll from bladder
trouble, an old complaint, and DR..
Coupal again examined him. The
following day after a consultation
an operation to relieve pressure on
the bladder was performed in the
ColoneFs dining room. After that
Colonel Coolidge made steady I'm
provement and by August he was
strong enough to tackle the chores
again.
DIR. Chute again examined him
that month and said his progress
was remarkable" In recent weeks
he has been considering an invitation
from President Coolidge to spend the
winter months in Washington, and 1t
had been thought he might go there
in about a fortnight from now.

COM. BEALS MAKES
POINT REGARDING
WORK WOODSMEN

Maine men are being hindered
from obtaining employment in the
woods Of this State through the i'm
portation of Canadian woodsmen I'M
der the so-called skilled labor per-
NIT. but it now appears that Maine
woodsmen may replace the Canadian
workmen, in the opinion of State
Labor Commissioners Charles O.
Beals.
The number of Canadian work.
men in the Maine woods has stead
lily increased since the World War.
They come across the border under
the skilled labor permit, an import
ant requirement of which is that
labor in that particular branch is
not obtainable in that state of the
United States into which they are
permitted to come.
Commissioner Beals believes that
there is a sufficient amount of labor
in Maine. At the instance Of the
Federal Department of Labor an in
vestigation is being had and Com
missioner Beals expects to be able
to demonstrate to the Federal au-
thorities that there is American
labor available in large quantity for
the woods.
One large employer of labor In
logging and numbering operations
who recently made an inquiry. with
an implied air of doubt, to Commits
sioner Beals as to whether he could
furnish certain quota of woods
men from the ranks of Maine labor
was surprised to find that the re-
quired number of men was avail
able.
Mayor Robert J. Wiseman Of Lew
iston has started an employment
agency of his own and he has re-
ported to Commissioner Beals that
there are many unemployed in Lew
iston who are available for work In
the woods. 1t is also said that Chair
man Neal w. Allen of the Portland
City Council may ask that the Port
land Council canvass the labor sit
uation there. Employment agencies
in Bangor and other cities are also
cooperating in the matter.

Counsel for Widow of
Lansdowne is Elected
JUDGES RULING
FAvoRS MAORI GIRL
IN MURDER TRIAL

Litchfield, Conn.,, Nov. 17.-(AP)
The defense in the retrial of Olym-
pia Maori, charged with the murder
of John Bagnano, her alleged be-
trayer, scored what it considered a
decisive victory today through q
single court ruling.
Judge George z. Human an
nounced from the bench that three
of the four statements taken by Cor
oner Eli Mix and statements given
to police officers by Miss Maori at
New Haven police headquarters on
the night she shot Bagnano last
February, would be excluded from
testimony II presented as evidence
by the state.
In his decision Judge Human said
that "A definite distinction is to be
drawn between the information OBJ
tained by police officers or a coroner
for the purpose of their own official
functions and statements in the ma
ture of confessions so obtained as to
be legally available as substantive
evidence against an accused person."
Miss Maori, who received the de-
cision without outward show of emo
ton, could not withhold her tears
when the state was displaying the
garments worn by Bagnano the day
he was shot. States Attorney Arnon
A. Allins started to lay the garments
on the table in front of her after
they had been identified by Medical
Examiner Irwin M. SCARBOROUGH, but
Attorney Joseph Koletsky. defense
counsel, objected.
Examination of two witnesses has
been substituted by the Introduction
or their testimony given at the first
trial. Stanley Gianelli, New Haven
County detective, explained to the
court AMI counsel his fruitless search
for Samuel Weiner, alias Joe Harris.
and John A. Tierney, both formerly
of New Haven, now address I'M
KNOWN" Counsel agreed that their
previous testimony will be admitted.

Liner LENAPE ATTIRE
RUSHING TO SHORE
OFF DELAWARE

New York, Nov. 17-(AP)-Speed-
ing toward land and safety with
about 200 passengers aboard. the
steel steamer Lenape, fifth of the
Clyde Line to be menaced by fire
with recent years, was ablaZe tonight
eight miles southeast of Five Fathom
Light.
The Lenape was reported heading
towards Delaware Breakwater In a
race for life and half a dozen ships
within radius of 100 miles were
converging towards her in a concert
ed effort to prevent a recurrence of
the fire a month ago in which the
Comanche. another Clyde Liner, was
burned to the waterline.
Early reports told that at the time
the Lenape sent out its S. o. S. calls,
the Old Dominion Liner Hamilton
was only IA miles from the scene Of
the fire. The coastguard cutter Sen
eca was 80 miles away and several
other ships were reported heading
toward the Lenape from varying dis
tances.
The Lenape left New York for
Charleston and Jacksonville this af-
tcrnoon with passengers and freight.
Officials of the line said tonight that
the passenger list was not available
but that about 200 passengers from
all parts of the country" were or
board They protested ignorance as
to the Identity of any of the passen-
gers and declined to say what sort OF
cargo the Lenape was carrying. After
the Comanche burned last month it
was learned that the fire had been
aggravated by the fact that the cargo
consisted largely of inflammable nav
al stores. At that time it was said
that this was a usual cargo for the
ships in that service to carry.
At /: 80 A. NJ, the fire was believed
to be under control. At that hour the
Lenape was IA miles from the Della
ware Breakwater. Wireless reports
said that she had declined assistance
offered by a number of ships which
were standing by.
New York, Nov. 17-(AP)-Vessel
intercommunication picked up here
at 1880 A. NJ, stated that the Lenape
would arrive within fifteen minutes
at Overfalls Light Vessel. The Len
aps requested the U. S. S. Seneca to
meet her there, and the Seneca wire
lessed its o. K.
The Lenape also asked the Kicka-
pop to proceed to the point. "Hold-
ing our own. Not Gaining" the Len
ape wirelessed. e-.r,-

Of DE- laware Bay about midway be-
