COOLIDGE TO to
 IN THREE WEEKS
Will Take Fishing Pole and Start
 On Vacation

Washington May 25.-UP)- Tn three weeks President Coolidge in- tends to take his fishing rod and hide from the politicians in the re- mote Black Hills of South Dakota on the western rim of the dissatis- fled farm belt.
 There, II miles from a railroad he will be secure from the frequent White House callers and will be on the ground where the first dele gates will be selected for the 1928 republican national convention.
 The presidents announcement that he will, if possible. seek this rustic recreat has startled and mys- tified the politicians here, even though they admit that South Da- kota is probably the best place he could have picked from political standpoint. It will be an unusually inaccessible spot for his vacation.
 The Dakotas with Iowa have been the leaders in the movement for the McNary- -Haugen farm price stabili- zation bill which Mir. Coolidge vetoed during the last session of congress. While little farming is done around the Black Hills. the fact that Mir. Coolidge is going to South Dakota is expected to have a hearty effect upon the leaders of the republican party there. Most republican leaders throughout the wheat and corn region will be ex- pected to call on him during the summer and it is anticipated a closer mutual feeling may be de- veloped.
 Incidentally state leaders will be- gin holding p0cinct conventions in November to pick state convention delegates who in turn will choose the delegates to select the next re- publican presidential nominee. Inas- much as the only prominent oppo- nent of Mir. Coolidge for renomina- ton is former Governor Lowden of Illinois, (whose strength is center cd in the farm belD The presidents visit Is expected to have soQe in- 1uence in that regard.
 While the decision is not final 1t Is generally considered hardly pos sible the president will run the risk of changing it later. The White House announcement stated that if accommodations could be obtained he would go there. He is well &C., quainted with present facilities there, secret service man having already visited the place and report cd to him. Senator Norbeck, Rep, $. D., has informed him that any any additions he desires will be fur nished him.

 In reply to Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Greenstein, Fuller admit ted having had "a few drinks" but he insisted that he was not intoxi- cated. He did not recall having been ordered off Hartford avenue. Judge Hungerford reminded him that he was in court last November and was allowed probation, only to return in February, when he was given a sus- pended jail sentence of ten days. For last nights offenses. Judge Hunger ford revoked the suspension of the sentence.

TEACHER BEATEN BY BOYS MOTHER
Objects to Her Son Being
 Slapped in School

New York. May 5 R-If there's any skipping to be done in her fam fly Mrs. Nellie Parchaluk of 1OS Third avenue ordinarily attends to it. So when her nine -year-old son, AL fred. went home at noon yesterday with bump on his forehead and a story that his new teacher had raised it with a slap Mrs Parchaluk did not hesitate.
 She grabbed Alfred with one hand and an umbrella with the other and marched to Public school No. 1G, at $40 East 14th street. For two hours she remained on guard. At 500 p. nl.. when classes were dismissed, Mrs. Parchaluk. reinforced by AL fred and with a chip about the size of an umbrella on her shoulder, ag- gressiyely scanned the faces of de- parting teachers.
 There she is,' shouted Alfred as Miss Anastasia Jackson, pretty. Ti- tian haired substitute instructor, of 11S7 Woodycrest avenue, the Bronx. came out.
 Mrs. Parchalull, waving her um- brella like a lasSo, charged. By islanders later told police the mother struck her sons teacher five times. Miss Ja' son ran toward the shelter of the school. As she swung her umbrella for final thump, Mrs. Parchaluk slipped on the wet school door steps and fell heavily. She was taken to Bellevue hospital, where physicians said she had a fractured left leg.
 There, she was arrested when Miss Jackson charged her with assault.
 Alfred told detectives of the Fifth street station his teacher had had 10 slap his face 10 keep him quiet in school. but admitted she had not caused inc bump on his forehead. The bump, police believe, came from the fist Of another schoolboy.
 Meanwhile. Alfred last night was pprehensively waiting 10 learn more about bumps and slaps when his mother comes out of the hospital.

 During the entire luncheon hour the crowd kept accommodating so that by 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon nearly 1000 persons were vocifer- ously demanding a sight of the hero.
 So insistent were his admirers that he appear that the American aviator consented to go to the balcony on the fifth floor where Bleriot had his apartment. He was accompanied by Bleriot, Ministers Painleve and Bar thou and others and his appearance on the balcony was a signal for a wild demonstration. The crowd and guests were in high good humor and d facetious Parisan drew joyous ap- plause when pretending to ignore the aviator he shouted: "Vive Pain- leve, vive Barthou!"
