Old Neighb0rs
Hear President
In Radio Address

Plymouth, VT, Nov. 19.-(AP)-
Here in this little hamlet, in the very
house where President Coolidge was
born, were gathered tonight a group
of old-time neighbors to hear the
voice Of their fellow-townsman, now
the chief executive of the United
States, as 1t came over the radio.
They listened intently as his words
came clearly through five tube set
which had been brought from Lud-
low by newspapermen who have
been here watching the fight that
Colonel John c. Coolidge, 81 year
old father of the president, is maxi
ing to regain his health.
The radio is in the hall over what
is now the general store and post
office. The same room was used by
the president and his staff while here
on a vacation in August, 1924.
A scant hundred feet away, In the
sitting room of his homestead, Col
onel Coolidge himself "listened-in"
and despite his illness held himself
at rigid attention throughout the en-
tire delivery. For both audiences
ideal reception conditions prevailed
and they who heard him in this
remote spot in the Vermont hills
shared with those who sat at the
New York banquet board, a sense
Of equal intimacy.

Ghostly Noises
Lead to Search for
Cause Belfast Mystery

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Belfast. Me-, Nov. 19.-Considerable
excitement is felt in Belfast over a
mysterious and very ghostly noise
which has been heard nightly in To-
cal theatre long after the house is
closed for the night or between the
matinee and evening shows by the
men in the boiler room. The noises
are shutting footsteps which cross and
recross the empty stage night after
night, although the place has been
thoroughly searched time and again.
Last night rs or more men were called
in. many of them who scoffed at the
idea of spirits, but when they distinct
ly heard the footsteps and a closing
door where there was no door and
when questions were asked and ans
wered time and again their smiles
froze and their hair stood on end and
the most skeptical was convinced that
there was something"
If it is someone playing a practical
joke, he is very skilful, for every pos
sible method has been tried to detect
any such person. Tonight at IL
O'Clock another test is to be made and
every precaution will be taken to have
the building guarded against anyone
leaving or entering. The noises have
caused one employee to give up his
job and all the men about the theatre
are convinced that there is something
but they cannot explain what it is.

Four Attacks During Day are
Noticeably Less Severe -
Doctor Believes Prospects
Improvement are GoOd-Pa-
tient Permitted to Hear the
President Over Radio

Plymouth, VT, Nov. 19.-(AP)-
The condition Of Colonel John c
Coolidge. father of the president,
had so far improved today that at
o'clock his physician issued the
most encouraging statement since
his present illness.
The statement, which was issued
informally by DR.. Albert M. Cram
Of Bridgewater, said that although
his patient had suffered four attacks
Of heart block since rising, all had
been markedly less severe than
those Of any day since Sunday when
he was first taken i'll.
DR.. Cram also announced that for
the present time Colonel Coolidge's
condition was not Immediately seri-
ous." Heretofore his statements
have characterized the situation as
serious but throughout he has in
sisted there have been no alarming"
symptoms.
He also made known that he con-
sidered hope for ultimate improve
ment better than any time this week.
Colonel Coolidge, he added, was con-
siderably cheered and looked for
ward eagerly to hearing President
Coolidge speak by radio later in the
night.
DR.. Cram considered the outlook
so good that he Immediately tele-
phoned the temporary executive
headquarters in New York, where
Major James +. Coupal, presidential
physician, Immediately conveyed the
news to the president.
Points Of encouragement empha-
sized by DR.. Cram today included
the fact that his last attack of the
day occurred at 1910 and that the
intermittent" character of the heart
impulses was no more pronounced
than it has been in any time in the
last several years!
A new medicine which was decid-
ed upon late yesterday and given for
the first time today was also regard
ed as being in a high degree re-
sponsible for the cheering change in
outlook for the patients improve
ment. The medicine was said to
have had caused the sharp reduce
ton in the number of CLOCKS
noted.
A more regular pulse than has
been felt of late was recorded DUR
ing the afternoon examination to
which the presidents father was
subjected.
These developments together with
the fact that Mr.. Coolidge had eaten
a nourishing noon meal led to q be-
lief that the immediate seriousness
of the case had passed although DR..
Cram made it plain that the patient
Is by no means out of danger.
Mr.. Coolidge was attired in q
dressing gown when he rose for
lunch today and was similarly dress
ed when he sat down tonight to hear
the presidential address by radio.
His only visitor today was Ralph
Persons, son-in-law of Attorney
General Sargent, who was with Mr..

AND
COUNSEL AGREE TO
CHAPMAN REPRIEVE

Hartford, Conn.,. Nov. 19.-(AP)-
A second reprieve for Gerald Chap
man was virtually agreed upon to-
day by States Attorney Alcorn and
Joseph M. Freedman for counsel for
Chapman, Mr.. Freedman said to-
night. The purpose of the proposed
stay of execution is to spare the con-
demned mans life long enough to
permit the United States courts to
settle the question whether the state
has the right to hang him before the
expiration of the 25 years federal
sentence pending over the prisoner.
Mr.. Freedman said that the states
attorney told him at a preliminary
conference today that he would not
object to a reprieve extending Chap
mans life beyond December 3, the
time now set for his death. While
the length of the extension was not
discussed Mr.. Freedman said, coun-
sci for Chapman will propose a de-
lay of six months at second con-
ference on the subject to be held in
Mr.. Alcorn's office Monday.
Before seeing the states attorney
Mr.. Freedman called on Governor
John H. Trumbull at the capital and
preached the subject to him. The
governor did not commit himself,
but indicated that he would not be
averse to granting Chapman a Sec
ond reprieve under the circum-
stances if States Attorney Alcorn
agreed to 1t.

Believed Cult
Leader Could Have
Ended the World

Fall River, Mass, Nov. 19.-(AP)
Belief that Eugene Richard La
Fleche, late spiritual leader of the
Mission of the Divine Spirit Colony
on Goat Island, could have ended
the world by raising his hand was
expressed today by Adelard Giasson,
business head of the colony, who is
on trial for conspiracy to steal.
Giasson, testifying in his own de-
Tense, denied receiving money from
Eugene Martel and other complain
ants. who charged they were de-
frauded by signing an agreement to
work for the colony without pay.
Giasson said he never saw La
Fleche perform miracles, as other
witnesses testified he had, although
the two roomed together for more
than eight years. He believed, how
ever, in the leaders power to per-
form them and to end the world.
Arguments will be heard tomor-
row and it is expected the case will
go to the jury in the afternoon. 9th
er witnesses today said that La
Fleche could make the rain stop by
holding out his right hand, and had
performed a miracle.
