Whether President Coolidge will

Wednesday night to friends is a

After eating the unlucky fish for
dinner, the President rushed out Of
his cabin to try his luck again. But
it was to no avail. despite a fishing
trip which lasted far into the night.
Those about the President are pre-

''On May 8, 1925, l read to this

chafges that fully $50 cases of liquor
had been unlawfully taken away.
Since then several persons have
been arrested, pleaded guilty Of the
charge, have been indicted for the
taking of this whisky from the Fed
eral Bldg, in Indianapolis. Even

real men responsible, perhaps off

are not being punished"
