superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, was the first witness called
today when the Senate committee in
vestigating campaign expenditures
reopened its inquiry into the Illinois

The calling Of Stafford indicated
that Senator James Reed, chairman

transpired since the primary Of
April 13.
Stafford told Reed that the league
is not responsible for the $125,000

him for the Senate because he is

ELECTION NEAR:
FEWER ARRESTS
Week. End Total About Half
Usual Number.

With the election a short time
away, the general policy of police
to show a lenient hand was dis
cosed in weekend arrest sheets to-
day at the city prison. Only 103
men and twenty-six women were
charged. This is about one-half the
usual total.
A conspicuous feature was the
absence Of any gambling arrests.
Intoxication charges were placed
against nineteen men and one wom-
an. Twenty-seven men and five
women were charged with operat-
ing blind tigers, seven men with
driving while intoxicated and eleven
with assault and battery.
There were few speeding arrests,
as usual at election time. Politicians
say such arrests drive voters from
the polls. Forty.six men and eight
women were charged with vagrancy.

BU Jntted Press
AMHERST, Mass, Oct. 1S.-The
chaperonage of John Coolidge, son
of the President, and Amherst Col
lege junior, by Col. Edward Startling,
White House detective. today had
become the subject of several theo-
ries. They were:
To prevent John from being
harmed by authors of BLACK '-and
letters.
To prevent a possible romance.
To prevent Johns social activities
from interfering with his studies.
It was recalled, too, that Miss
Florence Trumbull, daughter of Con-
necticut's Governor, was guarded
similarly at Mount Holyoke Col
lege last spring after her fathers
refusal to block the Gerald Chap
man execution.
For some time newspapers have
linked the names of young Coolidge
and Miss Trumbull as the principals
of romance.
