Before President Coolidge makes up
his mind where he is going to spend
his vacation this coming Summer he
must decide whether or not he will
leave Washington for two or three
weeks visi%this Spring at some spot
in the South.
Close friends and associates of the
President have been urging him to
put aside the cares of his Office, if
only for fortnight, in order to get a
rest after the heavy strain he has
been under during the past Winter
Mrs. Coolidge is understood to be
among those trying to prevail upon
the President to take brief vacation
of this sort. She and the others are
known to have been insistent, and
they have succeeded in getting a
promise from the President that he
would so on a little excursion of the
sort suggested if he could do so con
veniently.
Florida and Asheville, n. c., were
the two places that appealed to the
President for Spring trip, but as
late as yesterday he was represented
as saying that he had been unable
thus far to make a decision. Added

While a squad of Is prohibition agents
were conducting a raid in South Bal

descended on their motor cars. One
machine had been hacked and chop
ped to pieces with knives and axes
when the agents, attracted by the
clamor, made a sortie from the build

met with freely flying stones and
paving bricks.
Casualties were few, however, and
police riot squads dispersed the crowd
without arrests. Only three agents
were struck, two by stones and the
third by a bottle of mayonnaise, which
broke and injured chiefly his personal
appearance.
Agents Depart for Police.
Some of the agents departed hur-
riedly in one machine to summon po-
lice help when il became apparent
that the crowd was seriously infected
with the destructive fervor. They
drove through back alleys in rain
of missiles, among which ripe toma'
toes played a spectacular part.
When the bluecoatS appeared the
crowd fell away with little show or
contenting itself with boots
and jeers.

The formal censure" of the Fedora

branded upon the action of the Citi-
zens' Advisory Council in adopting a
resolution by Harry n. Stull, indors-
ing Ralph B. Fleharty for peoples
counsel of the new Public Utilities
Commission, according to the provi-
sions of a resolution introduced at the
federation meeting at thes District
Building last night by William NICK.
Clayton and referred to a special COM
mittee of seven for investigation and
report.
The matter was introduced early in
the session and provided the most
tense and personal matter before a
meeting which wrangled from begin
ming to end.
Mr.. Clayton introduced the ques-
ton by calling up resolution from
the Brightwood Citizens Association,
from which he is a delegate to the
federation This resolution asked
the recall of Mr.. Stull from the
council and authorized Mr.. Clayton
to request such action by the fedora
ton. Mr.. Clayton, however, ex-
planned that he would not consider
the recall matter, but would present
the resolution of formal censure."

He spoke with deep feeling. There
were many Interruptions to his
presentation of the case and his
argument prior to his resolution was
finally cut short by demand that he
present his resolution.

SHANGHAI, March 19.-By the
collapse of the Shantungese defense
on the Sungkiang front, the road TO
Shanghai has been opened to the at
tacking Cantonese armies. and mill
tary authorities here anticipate they
may reach the prize city within a
couple of days. Their advance, how
ever. may be delayed by adverse
weather conditions. such as have been
responsible for the delay in the
Nationalists' operations for the cap
ture of Soochow, about so miles west
of Shanghai.
The collapse of the Northern line
at Sungkiang, which had been de-
Tended by about 1000 troops of the
army of Gen. Chang Tsung Cha lg,
was brought about through an out
fanking movement by the Southern,
or Nationalist, forces. This maneuver
rendered untenable the Northern posi-
tions at Minhang and farther east
ward.
Northerners Retreat Hastily.
The Northerners retreated hastily
without the slightest attempt at re-
sistance. Two thousand of them had
arrived in Shanghai tonight.
The collapse, though not unexpect-
ed, as the Northerners had been heavily
pressed on all fronts the past week,
was not looked for so quickly. 1t had
been generally believed the National
lists eventually would gain control of
Shanghai by some sort of political
bargaining.
Naturally there Is some anxiety
over the possibility of clashes when
the Nationalist troops arrive in
Shanghai, but the foreign communi-
ties feel quite secure with nine
battalions of British troops and ar.
tillery strung around the settlement,
with the forces of other nations
within call, and strong naval forces
available in case of emergency.
British Troops Ready.
British troops were ready tonight to
oppose any invasion OF the interna-
tional settlement, whether by North.
ern or Southern troops. In the sec
tions of the city under Chinese con.
troll the streets were deserted and the
houses were closed. Here and there

Gen. Sun Chuan-Fang, whose army

forces.
