President also carried back with him
a large bundle of clippings of stories
and editorials concerning himself and
subjects in which he is likely to be
interested.
Through the medium of these clip
pings the President keeps posted as
to what Is being written about him
and about the more important hap
penings not only In the country, but
abroad. The President himself Is
what Is commonly referred to as
newspaper fan--that Is he reads the
papers rather thoroughly. However,
TO make sure that he Is not missing
anything of interest or Importance
one of the clerks of the White House
force is assigned to the task of clip
ping out everything he thinks the
President would care to see.
There was report current here
today that Senator William M. Butler
of Massachusetts,, chairman of the
Republican national committee and
close friend and spolitical adviser OF
the President, will arrive shortly at
White Pine Camp for brief visit.
This was not confirmed. 1t was said,
however, that the Massachusetts, Sen
ator is expected to pay visit some
time this Summer. When the Senator
does arrive, White Pine Camp will be
the scene of the most important
political conference the President viii
have had since his arrival up here.
While the President was busily en-
gagged at the executive office this
morning Mrs. Coolidge went to the
Marine camp, quarter of a mile from
the living cabins of White Pine Camp,
where she looked over the living
quarters of the half a hu }dred Ma
rines who are doing guar duty day
and night about White i'.ne Camp.
The President inspected the camp last
week.
President Coolidge today received
an urgent request from Gov. Richie
of Maryland that the munition depot
of the War Department, located at
Curtis Bay, near Baltimore, be moved
to some other place. The President
was reminded that this munition de-
pot is located dangerously near a
thickly populated district and that
there is necessarily a constanct men
ace. The governors request also
served to indorse the protest sent to
the President by the Chamber of
Commerce of Baltimore Immediately
following the disaster at Denmark
Lake, N. ].
The President forwarded the Mary
land governors letter to the Secretary
of War.

NEW YORK, July % A0.-Destruc-

homes thousands who had slept two
nights in New York parks, when the
temperature, after days high OF ",
dropped degrees in s minutes.

| port Shows, Against 75,-
! 329 in Previous Year..

Increased activity in prohibition
enforcement and a reduction Of one
third in the number of speeding auto
mobilists arrested are the outstand.
ing facts in report made public to-
day by Superintendent of Police
Aesse. giving a record of the work
of the department for the fiscal year.
While arrests under the Volstead
national law fell off slightly from the
preceding fiscal year, the number
taken into custody under the Shop
pard local dry law was greater by
1000. There also was a marked In
crease in the total volume of assert
ed alcoholic concoctions gathered in
by the dry sleuths in the District.
The comparison Of liquor arrests
follows:
For various offenses under the Vol
stead law, such as selling, making,
transporting and possessing-1926,
1854 arrests; 1925, 5,738, and 1924,
4,239.
Under Sheppard Act.
For violations of the Sheppard act,
such as intoxication, drinking in pub
lie and driving while intoxicated
1926, 1892 arrests; 1925, 11,715, and
1924, Otis.
This shows a total arrested last
year under both laws of 1916, as
compared with 17,453 for the pre-
Tious IL months.
The department was no less active
in the conflscation of intoxicants, the
total in gallons seized last year being
25,624, as against only 1882 gallons
the previous year. This quantity of
wet goods included everything from
raw alcohol to champagne.
There were ia stills seized last
year, compared with only 81 the pre-
Vious year and 26 in 1924.
While the total of arrests for traf.
fic violations jumped from 33,107 in
1925 to 43,S34 the past year, the in.
crease occurred under the heading of
miscellaneous violations. The record
of speeding cases was 6,72S last year,
against 1854 in 1925.
1900 More Arrests.
Taking arrests for every possible
offense, the record of the past year
shows 1900 more individuals fell
into the clutches of the law than in
the preceding year. The report furth.
er shows:
Grand total of arrest for all of.
fenses-1926, 9S.204; 1925, 1929, and

1924
For operating a vehicle while In.
toxicated-In 1926, ITO; 1925, 712, and
1924, Sos.
The police seized Alb motor vehicles
during the past II months in con.
nection with liquor arrests, an in.
crease of more than 100 from the
total Of 301 machines taken in 1925.
There were 145 machines taken in
