GREEN MOUNTAIN
BOYS ARE HONORED
Bennington Pays High Tribute
to Departed Heroes

Bennington, VT. Aug. Is Up -
Bennington today pays day-long
| tribute to the Green Mountain
Boys on the sesqui-centennial of
the battle which they fought and
won for the infant state of Yer
mont, which not only was one of
the most decisive of the Revolu-
ton but also went far to squelch
the rival claims of New York and
New Hampshire to the territory
the Vermonters had declared indie
pendent.
New Hampshire shares with YER
mont in the honors, for it was Cen
eral Stark's New Hampshire troops
which began the battle on August
rs. 1777. against a detachment of
Burgoyne's British army and swept
to victory with the timely aid of
Seth Warner and his Vermont
band. New York has also a claim
to glory. for the actual site of the
battle is just over the line in Hoo
sic.
The celebration begun Saturday
carried through today with the
dedication of markers as the first
events. One was on the site OF the
house of James Breckenridge in old
Bennington, where was made the
first resistance to New York au-
thorties who sought to take the
New Hampshire grants. Bennington
chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution. gave the tablet and ar
ranged the ceremony.

COOLIDGE SILENT

President Giving no Support Of
Any Successors

Rapid City. S. D., Aug. Is Up
Almost two weeks Of contempla-
ton of the announcement of Pres
ident Coolidge that he did not
choose to run for president in 1928,
finds the administration leaders
who call at the summer White
House still wary in naming candi-
dates to succeed the president.
Those who have called on Mr..
Coolidge in the course OF regular
government business since August
p, when the announcement was
given out, have included cabinet
members, senators and represent
atives.
Most are regarded as administra-
ton stalwarts. None has named q
candidate.
All have gained the conviction
from their talks with Mr.. Coolidge
and would not consider running for
president. While silent on possible
successors some of the administra-
ton men have voiced the opinion
that Mr.. Coolidge should and would
be nominated anyway.
Firmly refusing to amplify his
statement, the president is just as
silent about indicating in the slight
est degree any person whom he
might desire to succeed himself.

Interested in Big Bout
The student switched his inter-
viewer from politics to discussions Of
crime in Chicago, and avoided ex-
pressions on possible presidential
candidates from Illinois. He wanted
to know what Chicago thought of
the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill.
and what the sports writers thought
of the coming Dempsey-Tunney
fight. Young Coolidge is rated as a
good fast boxer by his classmates at
Amherst.
Accompanied by a secret service
agent, John faced a battery OF news
papermen and cameras upon his ar
rival, and then departed over the
Chicago and Northwestern for the
Black Hills, regretting. however,
that he did not have time to stop
and greet Colonel Lindbergh, whom
he missed meeting in Washington.

A large crowd turned out to well
come John Coolidge, son of Presi-
dent Coolidge, on his arrival here to
spend his summer vacation with his
parents. Some one in the crowd re-
marked to John as he alighted from
the train that there were almost as
many people on hand to greet him
as came to the station when the
president arrived in June.
"Oh, that's because my mother is
here" John replied as he pushed his
way through the crowd to the White
House limousine. where Mrs. Cool

from summer school which he at
tended at the University Of Vermont.
He was accompanied by Russell

Note to Miss Trumbull Reveals
His Presence on Train

Chicago, Aug. l5.-lPt-An Amer
lean boy. possessing about every
thing he should have. including a
best girl, has passed through here
en- route to see his father, Calvin
Coolidge. the president Of the United
States.
John Coolidge, westbound to the
Black Hills and the summer White
House. from Albany, was unrecog-
nized by his fellow passengers until
he handed a porter letter address
ed to Miss Florence Trumhull,
daughter of the governor of Con-
necticut. With politics beginning to
blossom for the 1928 crop the
presidents son was interviewed.
What about Miss Trumbull?" he
was asked. He blushed, and didn't
care to talk about that.
This Word "Choose"
What about this word choose
what does it mean to you?" he was
asked, and here politics entered a
national channel. They called me at
school to ask me that, but didn't get
me-" he answered. "Father means
what he says. No. have never
heard him say anything on the sub
ject of running again. and he offer
ed no more explanation.
John said he went to summer
school at Vermont state University
because when a fellow doesn't keep
up with his studies during the win
ter he must catch up in the sum-
mer."
He said he plans to attend Har-
ward Law school after he is gradu-
ated from Amherst, adding that he
would be 81 years old next month.
That he will be interested in politics
and law, the same as his father, was
indicated by the presidents son

BODY FOUND

to Death By BOotleggers and
GangSterS.


Gangsters.
st. Paul. Mimi, Aug. Is OPAL
though not positive OF their identi-
cation, police believe that in the dis
covery of mans body beside a
county road last night their search
for James Barrett, president of an
automobile refinancing concern. has
ended.
Barrett has been sought since last
Thursday when the bodies OF his
wife. Ruth. and her sister, Mrs. LII
Ian Kooser, were found in their
home here.
The condition OF the mans body
was such as to make Identification
uncertain. There was a bullet wound
through the neck.
A police theory was that Barrett's
wife and sister-in-law were shot to
death because they knew too much"
about bootlegging activities and gang
killings which have been frequent
here during the past IS months.
Barrett, the police said, was in
volved in the gangland warfare, hav-
ing been victim of hijackers.
