to remove Maj. Haynes and announce

SWAMPSCOTT. Mass. August s.
Maybe Massachusetts--or at least the
wet section Of twill not be very
eager to have a President of the
United States spend another Summer
hereabouts. The Federal indictment
of Mayor l.. r. Quigley of Chelsea,

municipalities near Boston. is q sequel
to the prosecution of the police chief
Of SwampScott. Both were accused
of violating the prohibition laws.
There is no question that the Mas
sachusetts coast has been the scene
of good deal of rum running and
that the Federal authorities are chal-
lenged by the very presence of Mr.
Coolidge to do their utmost to stamp
out the violations of law. Along with
the Illegal sales of liquor are a series

has made no definite engagements,
but he expects to speak in Ohio and
Indiana.
After the inaugural address, which
astonished and aroused the senate.
the vice president told a delegation
from Marietta, Ohio. that the mat
ter of the amendment of the rules
was one that would have to be taken
to the country over the heads of SEN
ators unless the senate acted.

ANOTHER name
AS IT ADJ0URNS

Washington. March 18-The Senate
adjourned sine die today. bringing to
an end the stormy special session
which began March 4.
The close saw no abatement Of the
intensity and feeling that character
lied the entire session, resulting in a
breach with the White House.
President Coolidge continued to the
very last to challenge senatorial opin-
ion on his nominations to office by re-
submitting the name of Thomas Il.
Woodlock OF New York to be a mem
Der of the interstate commerce COM
mission, which the Senate failed to
confirm at the last session.
AS in the case of Charles B. War
rem to be attorney general, the Senate
refused again to give it's approval to
the Woodlock nomination. 1t was not
even considered by the interstate COM
merce committee. to which it was re-
ferred. Close friends of the president
now believe he will give Mr.. Woodlock
a recess appointment.
Opening on March 4, with a fiery
speech by Vice President Dawes, who
aroused the senators by his denuncia-
tion of Senate rules, the special ses-
sion was almost as turbulent in it's
last hours. Most of the day was spent
in reviewing the old scores that have
divided the Senate into group of
small factions.
The Senate did confirm in rapid or
der and in open session, however, a
large number of nominations that
were forwarded during the closing
hours from the White House.
With the adjournment. Congress
closed down until the first Monday in
December unless the president calls
special session.
