Fiddler Uncle
OF President Will
Fill Hub Engagement

Boston, Jan. 8-(AP)-John VIII
der of Plymouth, VT, 80 years old
and the latest aspirant to fiddling
championship honors, boasts OF
something more than 66 years OF

The aged Vermonter, who used to
play "Old Zip Coon" for the future
president when the latter was youth
in Plymouth, Is her etoday to fill a
theatrical engagement. In addition
he plans to compete with any fiddler
not younger than so years for the
old.time championship of New Eng
land.
He was unconcerned concerning
the possibility of a match with Mel
lie Durham, champion Of Maine, but
said he would like to meet him. He
didn't know whether his illustrious
nephew knew about his plans and
didn't care.
Don't know whether he'll like my
playing or not" he confided to re-
porters. HE never was much OF a
hand to bother about his relations
affairs"
AS to his championship claims:
Don't claim to be any champion.
Never said l could beat anybody.
Don't know until l try"
He spoke with characteristic
twang and an equally characteristic
brevity.
1t Is his first visit to Boston and
the first long trip he has ever made.
He came into the North Station
wearing a top coat. suit coat, a
brown sweater and a grey flannel
shirt Reporters found him taciturn
but drew him out to the extent that
he named his two favorite pieces,
1.-The Girl 1 Left Behind Me-" and
"The irish Washerwoman."
He hasn't fiddled in public for &c
years, he said. and for that reason
was uncertain of the outcome of his
theatrical engagement.

but I'll do the best I can" was the
way ne put it.

to Detroit to exhibit his wares but

will.

Over 100000 Men
Concerned in
Hungarian Plot

Budapest, Jan. s. (AP) More
than 100000 men are said by investi-
gators of the alleged plot to have
been available for the coup d'etat
which was to have placed Archduke
Albrecht on the Hungarian throne.
Regulars of the national army to
the number of $1,000 controlled by
Admiral Horthy. the regent, $4,000
police, gendarmes and customs Of
ficers and about 10000 Fascist COM
prised the bondy.
1t is claimed that Regent Horthy
was fully in sympathy with the
movement and willing to relinquish
the regency in order that Albrecht
might ascend the throne without
hindrance.
The latest facts in the situation
seem to tend to show that Prince
Ludwig Windisch- GraetZ, at least,
among the conspirators in the 80 bill
lion franc counterfeiting plot. did it
entirely from political motives. 1t
has been stated that the money OBJ
tanned from floating the spurious
notes was to have been used in fur
thering the ambitions of Archdnke
Albrecht to secure the crown of Hun
gary.
The semi-official Hungarian Tele-
graph Agency points out in this con-
nection that those arrested for parti-
cipation in the counterfeiting be-
long to different political parties and
that this fact does not tend to bear
out the charge that they were acting
with political ends in view.
The police have succeeded in es-
tablishing the fact that the spurious
franc notes were printed in the Hun
garian governments map bureau
They have obtained. it is asserted
full admission of this from an en-
ploye who printed them with the aid
Of others. The printing press has
been found at junk stree. This
concern also purchased the metal
from the plates from which the notes
were struck. The plates had been
melted down after the counterfeiters
were through with them.

ICY ROADWAY ON
EASTERN AVENUE
WRECKS THREE CARS

Three Ford trucks within as many
hours We're the toll exacted Friday
forenoon by the slippery going on
Eastern avenue and Arsenal streets.
Two came to grief when going down
Eastern avenue and the third swap
ped ends when the brakes were ap-
piled on Arsenal street, all three fin
ally coming to rest in almost the
same spot.
The first a Ford truck owned by a
Togus man and understood to have
been driven by man named Witham
from that place. was carrying several
men, when it slipped down the hill in
spite of the efforts of the driver to
hold it with the brakes, and plunged
over a small bank on the west side Of
stood to have overturned and the top
was somewhat smashed. 1t was
driven away under it's own power.
One man was cut somewhat about
the face but the others ESCAPED with
out injury.
This accident which happened at
about 10 o'clock was followed within
a short time bya similar occurrance
in which a truck used by a salesman
for the Fleischnann's Yeast Com
pany, suffered a similar fate. The
truck overturned and one rear wheel
was broken. the glass in the top was
smashed and the mud guards crump-
led.
Just as this truck was being clear
ed away, another salesman driving
~outh on Arsenal street, applied the
brakes to his Ford. in order that he
might look the other accident over.
When he applied the brakes, his ma
chine swerved around so that it was
headed toward the east and slipped
backward over the bank. Several men
endeavored to keep it from going
over but We're themselves pulled over
with the truck. It did not tip over
and was not damaged.
Eastern Avenue was later sanded
to avoid further accidents of this
kind

Points to Ireland
AS Port Air Liners

Baldonnel, Ireland, Jan. S.-lAP)-
Ireland as the future calling place for
ocean aerial liners is seen by Major
General Sid Seton Brancker.t director
of civil aviation of the British air
ministry, after visit to the Free
States air force headquarters. He Wis
ualizes a route from America to Ire
land and thence to London and the con-
tinent.
The transatlantic routes, he thinks,
might be traversed by big airships
carrying passengers and goods, aero
planes being used for the shorter
routes to connect with the trans-conti-
mental services.
Sir Seton is enthusiastic about a
suggestion recently made regarding
flight by Irish airmen to America. 1t
is not difficult, he says, to see Ireland
for many years to come as the port of
call for transatlantic liners.
