 SuranCe Cases

Boston. Aug. g (UP)-Approxi- mately 60 Massachusetts lawyers face the possibility of disbarment in connection with alleged fraudulent claims under the compulsory auto mobile insurance law, it was under stood today.
 That number of attorneys were re- ported involved in evidence being considered by Attorney General Jo- seph F. Warner and Insurance Com missioner Wesley F.. Monk.
 The attorney general opened his inquiry as result of Monks state ment that fraudulent claims and consequent losses to insurance com panies were largely responsible for drastic increases in automobile in surance rates for 1929.

MOTOR CRUISE ON LAKE IS PLANNED
Coolidge Enjoying Trip Over
 Lake Superior

Madeleine Island, Wis. Aug. a2 (R A days cruise on the blue waters Of Lake Superior, wandering as his fancy dictated amid the wooded is lets of the Apostle Archipelago, had been looked forward to by President Coolidge ever since he came to Wis consin. Today he had the oppor- tunlty to carry out his desire.
 The NelleWood, a 70 foot cabin cruiser, had been placed at the chief executives disposal for the day by Frank Woods of Lincoln, Neb, Early this morning the cruiser was waiting at Baytield, opposite Madeleine Island on the mainland and about 50 miles from Cedar Is- land lodge, where President and Mrs. Coolidge had arranged 10 board it. A very small group of friends had been invited to join the cruise.
 No specific itinerary had been set for tue NclleWood which vas instead 10 wander in and out of the shores. until about noon when, with utter lack Of formality, picnic luncheon had been ordered. Devils Island. perhaps the most picturesque and Welrd of the islands, with strange. contorted sandstone formations at the foot of it's lonely lighthouse, had been selected as the place for the meal.
 Answering to Mir Coolidee's ex- pressed wishes, preca utons had been taken to provide very simple meal at Devils Island. Quantity had been looked to, however. to make up what the food lacked in elaborate ness. since the hosts had supposed that the long early morning drive to Eayfield and the fresh air of .he lake would have unusually stimu- lated the appetites of President and Mrs. Coolids" and other members of the presidential party.
 Following further leisurelv cruis- lng after luncheon, President and Mrs. Coolidge had been invited ,o land and have tea at the estate cf

RED GRANGE AT STRAND

Tonight is the last showing at the Strand of the excellent program which has attracted large crowds to this popular playhouse this first half Of the week. Topping the show is Glenn Lewis New Britain Minstrel Follies." with cast of 50 local boys and girls, four great se- lect acts. and Norman Kerry in "The Foreign Legion" make up the balance of a great show.
 Beginning Thursday the Strand scores again in presenting the per- sonal appearance of Red Grange, the famous star of movies and 'Galloping Ghost' of the gridiron in his vaudeville offering. The famous Red" is now in vaudeville present. ing musical comedy of college life entitled "77" with cast that in- cludes four other players.
 Other select acts offer Willard and Millicent in Twists and Twirls''; i; Dwyer and Orma in Jest Playmates' Murray and Irwin, Two Amuse- ment Guides" and the Villa Vance Revue in Dancing Around the Map"
 With cast including several of the most talented comedians known 10 the screen, "Oh Kay." Colleen Moore's hilarious farce opens to- morrow at the Strand theater for a run of three days.
 Nivacious Colleen heads the cast in the stellar role of Kay" her en- tertaining personality being ideal fly suited for the character of the independent young English girl she portrays. Such laughable pictures as "Naughty But Nice" Her Wild Oat," "Ella Cinders." Tt Must Be Love" and 'Orchids and Ermine'' have established Miss Moore as the screens outstanding coEcdienn", and in "Oh Kay sine is said to at tain new heights Of humor. Lawrence Gray plays the roman tic lead opposite Miss Moore, as a well-meaning voting scion of wealth who becomes involved in complica- tions of the most humorous variety. Gray will be remembered as Gloria Swanson's leading man in several pictures, while he recently has been seen in "Dlamond Handcufk'.
 Ford Sterling. veteran comedian of stage and screen adds to the mer- fiment of "Oh Kay as an inebriat- ed gentleman, first seen as a rum runner, and later in disguise as q butler. Sterling has probably ap- peared in more feature comedies than any other player, being con- :stantly in demand among Holly iwood producers for his recognized talent as comedian.

basis of American progress. To those who have by necessity worked in other lands comes this most vivid meaning of America and deep gratitude for what our fathers have buildcd. Here there are no limits to hope; no limits upon accomplish ment: our obligation today is to maintain that equal opportunity for agricultural as well as for every other calling.
 When we traverse the memories of those who have builded this state and this nation We recall these acts which are rooted in the soil of serv- lee. When We rehearse our own memories We find that none give us such comfort and satisfaction as the record of service we have been able to render. I do not believe our peo- pie have lost those finer qualities of rugged character. sclf-reliance, or initiative. nor have they lost the great quality which they imbcdded in American character, the quality Of neighborly cooperation and mutual service. II is in this quality that our hopes must lie in the solu- ton of our great problems.
 And l must say again that the solution of these problems has but one purpose--that is the comfort and welfare of the American family and the American home The family is the unit of American life and the home is the sanctuary of moral in- spiration and Of American spirit, The true conception of America is not country of 11o,oo0,o ,ono people but a nation Of G3.no0, coo families living in 2%.ooo,o GOO homes I pledge my services to these homes.

WHITE RESUMES
 DRIVE ON SMITH
Makes Light of His Reply, Call'
 ing It Emotional

Paris. Aug. % UP) - William eAllen White, the Kansas editor, to- day continued his attack on the legislative record of Governor AL fred F.. Smith, pointing out that the New York governor in answering the White charges lis trying to make up in emotions what his case lacks in logic.'
 White is on a tour of Europe now and gave out his statement 1o American newspaper correspondents after he had been shown the letter in which the democratic president tial candidate in the United States mad answered White.
 However he may bemoan the cad case" White said, "his (Smith's) public legislative record must be faced again in this campaign. His friends say his platform is his pub lie record. Therefore certainly it is the major issue in the campaign. '
 White denied that he was attack - ing Smith personally or had meant to assail the character of the New :. York governor.
 'He was not personally attacked nor was his character assailcd," the Kansas republican editor point ed out. '.Esery statement I have made carefully declared that his faith and honesty never have been im- pugned. The motives can not be called an attack when l specifically declared that the printing of the public record was raising. not q question of moral turpitude. but one showing the difference between the viewpoint of Tammany Hall, which Smith supports. and that of the. American people,"

BUT 8 BOYS ARE LEFT WITH VESSEL
8S Have Deserted AlbatrOSS and
 Returned Home

1 Hamburg, Germany, Aug. 22 (UP) -s'iX American boys, who joyfully departed aboard the steamer Alba tross from sydney. x. s., several weeks ago along with 113 other young students, were found sitting overlooking the Freeport district and the steamer Albatross which was anchored in mid-stream. The boys were of the remaining 30 still with the expedition. All the others have deserted the vessel and homes. And the .AlbatToss is strand cd here and reported without funGa to clear the port.
 These six were without funds and complained bitterly against the food and accommodation of the vessel. But they added:
 'Tell the folks at home not to worry about us.''
 The six sitting in the park were John Dorchester of Nantucket. Mass l3; Roy Kelly. New York city! Joe Basso. Boston; James Keeman, Win chester. Mass; Allen Wilson, Win chester, Mass, and Leo Furlong, Charleston, Mass.
 The Dorchester boy was the first ito speak. They had been reticent concerning their being stranded in this strange port, so far from their homeland
 Unpleasant Voyage
 The youth said the entire group of 119 had suffered greatly on the rough ocean voyage from Nova Sco- tia to Cork. They said the accom- modatiors had been poor and the food net good. Then they said to- ward the latter part the food got worse and became scarce. particu- larly at the European ports where apparently the captain had run out ot funds.
 The first boys deserted the cruise at Cork. they said. Others left at Amsterdam while the majority left at Brtmerhavcn. They said. how ever. that not all of the boys actual ly were stranded as some had suffi- cient money 10 pay for their return voyages to the United States and the consuls sranted passports
 The remaining 30 decided to re- main at Hamburg for the additional 10 days, vaguely hoping to receive funds which would permit th> earlier return.
 Fruit dealers have refused to con- tinue delivering food to the Alb2- tross on credit and have threatened to have the Alhatross attached for, payment of previous deliveries. The students said they did not have sui ticient money 10 buy drinking water and were forced to come ashore to the public street fountains.
 Captain Bosom said he expected money soon sufficient to clear the port of Hamburg and return to the nitcd States.

A FAMOUS VICTORY IN CHICAGO

l7-year-old Chicago negro broke small window in
restaurant Three policemen to question him about
it. He barricaded himself in his ROOM produced couple
of revolvers and defied them to get him out.
Before the affair ended 200 policemen had laid siege
the place. nine of them had been wounded and the bar
caded negro youth had been shot to death And all for
a broken window!
The exact moral of this little tale is bit obscure When
200 policemen called out for fourhour gun battle
in which l7year boy killed and nine officers are
wounded, because of broken restaurant window; when
all Of this happens in city where gang murders are
daily occurrences where gang of pguglies convicted
OF coiving at murder election day are let off with
fines where beer-runners gambling kings vice lords and
such like gentry able go unmoested from year to
yearwel something is little bit out of proportion
somewhere.
