Belgian currency was sympathet-

French financial difficulties, menac.

OAKLAND, Cal, March 24.-Hu-
man sacrifices are believed 10 have
formed part of the mystic ritual Of
The Satanic Order OF Lucifer," be-
ing investigated here.
The theory was first advanced by
J. +. Galliana. an attorney and has
been strengthened by circumstances
surrounding the death Of Macario
Timon, a leader in the strange or
ganiZation.
TimOn's body was found in his
home last week, his throat cut from
ear to ear. At the time it was
believed he had been killed because
of mining secrets, which he was
thought to possess, but the queerly
marked papers found in his room
have been linked now with the
Satanic Order"
The cult is OF Mexican origin.
Galliana. deciphering Eel Libro In
fernal' found among Timon's effects,
told Tuesday how members OF the
order inscribed their names on its
records, using their own blood for
the signatures.
Other fantastic customs were de-
scribed in the book. Some Of them
have to do with blood sacrifices and.
although the killing Of human be-
inEs was not mentioned specifically,
Galliana said he believed the or
der had adopted that barbarian Gus

COOLIDGE HOME
T0STAY open
Housekeeper to Carry Out
Presidents Wishes.

PLYMOUTH, Vt, March "a
Alone in the little farmhouse on
which the spotlight Of the nation
recently was focused, Miss Aurora
Pierce, faithful housekeeper for the
late Col John c.. Coolidge, is pre-
pairing to carry out thewish of the
President of the United States.
With the Colonel gone and no
member Of the Coolidge family to
live on in the old home, Miss Pierce
was asked to remain as caretaker
and, although she at first told friends
she intended to leave Plymouth and
make her home with relatives in an
other town, she now has decided to
continue to live on the Coolidge
homestead.
Her decision to make her home
in the house she has lived in and
cared for for more than twenty
years is taken to mean that the
President wishes to have the place
kept in readiness at all times for
him to come to when his memories
turn to his childhood days, and the
Vermont Hills. Close friends Of the
Coolidges' feel certain he will make
the homestead the summer White
House for several weeks this sum-
mer.
Tie Coolidge farm, which has
been in the family several genera
tions. is to be titled by Linn Cady,
a resident of Plymouth, who leased
the place shortly before Colonel
Coolidge's death.

Use of Troops, Including
Americans.

PEKIN, March 24.-Chinese Off
cials fled to the foreign quarter seek
ing protection from students who
may at any time engage in another
government demonstration such
as that in which S3 students lost
their lives last week.
President Tuan Chi Jui's residence
is enclosed within piles Of sandbags
behind which the presidential guard
would stand off the students if they
gathered.
In the meantime it was reliably
learned that the diplomatic corps
today rejected a proposal for the
naturalization Of Peking and the
use Of foreign, including American
troops to defend the capital against
the advancing forces of General
Chang Tso Lin and his allies.
The Koumen-chien or nationalist
troops now in control of the Peking
area, but hard pressed by Chang,
may suddenly withdraw from the
capital and permit it to be taken
without opposition.
The diplomatic corps refused the
naturalization proposal after two Sc
cret sessions. 1t IS understood that
the suggestion came from the Ma
tionalist headquarters. which had
hoped that the diplomats would refer
the demand TO the foreign office
after which foreign troops could
have been employed to defend the
capital.
Nationalist spokesmen today called
upon the Government to carry out
its pledge to preserve order in the
| capital.
Chang and his allies, WI Pei Fu
and Ii Ching Ling. have already
captured Tien Tsin from the Nation
alists in their campaign TO gain the
entire Peking area. The Nationalist
troops were last reported falling
back from all fronts.
