NEGROES ARE LINKED
 UP WITH BOLSHEYISTS
New York Paper Says Latter Arc Spreading Propaganda Through
 This Medium.

Now York. June 29 P>-The New York Herald-Tribune says the Bol- shevist government is concentrating and disseminating propaganda over the United States through the in- strument of the American Negro by establishing organizations to func- tion as a clearing house for Bolshe- Nik propaganda among the members of their race.
 Several Negroes have been select ed from this country and transport ed to Moscow where they are given thorough instructions in the opera ton and theories of communism. Through this medium, the Herald Tribune says, the Reds hope to bring the whole Negro population of the United States solidly under the influence of Bolshevik ideas.
 The organization, which heads this movement. in this country. is known as the American Negro La- bor Congress" with headquarters in Chicago. The official publication, "The Negro Champion" acts as its mouthpiece.
 The Herald. Tribune further says, that the leaders of this scheme are Richard B. Moore. and Lovett Fort Whiteman. of Chicago.

Coolidge's Summer
 Conference Plans

Rapid City. s. D.. June 20 R- Indications are that the summer conference President Coolidge ex- poets to hold during his residence in the Black Hills will begin early in July to be broken up by several trips to nearby cities.
 The president expects to consult representatives of industry. agricul- ture and cen merce before he re- turns to Washington.
 The first two weeks of the presi- dents residence here have been al- lotted mostly to becoming acclimat- ed. He has remarked to friends that the high altitude has had a tendency to make him drowsy.
 While few of the days Mir. and Mrs. Coolidge have spent here have been warm. the average tempera- ture has been pleasantly low.
 The president and Mrs. Coolidge appear to be entirely contented with their summer residence and no thought has been given to their de- parture. Whether they intend to go direct from here to Washington carly in September. or leave a little earlier to spend a few days at the Coolidge homestead in Plymouth, Vermont, is not known.

YANDERbItTS WERE
 OPPOSED TO MATCH
But Daughter Grace Married
 Man of Her Choice

New York. June 2s OD - Rather than marry . titled Englishman whom she did not love. Miss Grace Vanderbilt. in opposition to the \ wishes of her parents, Brigadier General and Mrs. Cornelius Wander bilt, became the wife of Henry Gassaway Davis. 3d, young mining engineer and one of the heirs ot the $s0,000.000 estate of the late Senator Henry Gassaway Davis.
 So Cornelius Vanderbilt. jr.. newspaper writer and brother of the bride. today publicly explained the surprise marriage of his sister and Davis in the chapel of the municipal building and their sub sequent marriage at the Little . Church around the Corner.
 With only a municipal building policeman and Colonel Henry How ell Armstead. an uncle of the bridegroom, as witnesses, the couple were married by Deputy City Clerk J. J. Mccormick. No relatives were present and the cere- mony was carried out without their knowledge.
 T think that the reason for the haste was that my mother wanted Grace to marry an Englishmans" the brides brother said. T am very glad that she has done what she has done. for Mir. Davis is q fine young man and they are very much in love with each other. l am sure they will be happy"
 A planned honeymoon to British Columbia. where the young husband is scheduled to work during the summer was delayed while the couple awaited the forgiveness of Colonel and Mrs. Vanderbilt.
 Immediately after the wedding in the municipal building Mrs. Davis telephoned her parents but they were said to have refused to an- swer the call.
 The couple then went to the apartment of the brides brother. Cornelius Vanderbilt, where Mrs. Davis wrote note to her parents asking their blessing and expressing her willingness to have the civil ceremony followed by an Episcopal church ceremony. No reply was said to have been received. Reports were the parental blessing would rot be forthcoming until an Epis- copal ceremony had been perform ed.
 Newspapermen who called at the Vanderbilt mansion on Fifth avenue were met by the butler. who said he was instructed to say the Van derbilts had no comment to make. Later reporters were told they had retired.

 Baby Peggy after spending several hours in this city as the guest of the Herald. will return with her parents to New York until Monday when she will begin three-day en- pa cement at the strand on Monday. July 4. On the stage the little star is equally as gifted as on the screen and in her comedy skit she scores a solid hit wherever she has thus far appeared.
