MILLIONS LINKED
 IN LEGAL TANGLE
Russian Gold Involved in New
 York Lawsuit

New York. March 10 LP-Twen- ty crimson casks containings s5,- 2ol,01 in Russian gold today were involved in q complicated legal mesh with their ownership at issue.
 Suit was filed by the Bank of France in the federal court here to recover the gold bars which are now held by the Equitable Trust Co. and the Chase National bank. IL was based on the assertion that the metal was stolen from the vaults of the State bank of the Russian em- pire after the bolshevist revolution.
 The legal aspect was complicated by the fact that American courts have ruled that the soviet can neither sue nor be sued since it is not recognized by the United States as being legally an entity. Accord ingly it cannot become a party to any legal action connected with the present suit.
 Thus trial of the suit was expect ed to raise many intricate questions of international law. and involve the attitude of the American govern ment toward the soviet government
 The gold was sent here from Rus sia last month to facilitate handling of trading between America and Russia. When it was presented for assay, the treasury department re- fused to receive it unless the two New York banks would guarantee title to it.
 The refusal of assay was based on seven year old embargo on Rus sian gold established because it was held that title to it was not clearly established.
 As long as the embargo exists the gold cannot be specie. Its present status is simply that it is 20 casks of material being held in banks vaults for the soviet.
 Legally the gold is not gold at all. Under the existing situation. it would be impossible for the Bank of France, which is a private corp oration. to contend that the soviet had confiscated given sum of money from it and seek the return of a like sum of money from the 20 casks in New York
 Therefore the action filed here sets forth that the identical material or "chattels' as the suit terms it. now held in the New York bank vaults is the property of the Bank of France.
 It is averred that it was placed in safe deposit in the Russia State bank before the collapse of imperial Russia and appropriated by the soviet without any reason whatso- ever.
 The action. thus. is precisely a move to recover property alleged to have been stolen and to recover that identical property as distinguished from reimbursement for its loss.

No Loss Of Life

Manomet Point, Mass. March 10. --(UP)-A motley fleet of coast guard vessels fought its way to the ship Robert E. Lee today in the hope of saving the 2G3 passengers and crew whose lives were imperilled when the ship was driven hard and fast upon the jagged rocks Of Mary Ann reef.
 The 70-mile an hour snow-laden gale which had blown the 5000 ton steamer off her course at D. m. Friday was abating somewhat at dawn. Coast guard officials said they believed the crew and passengers could be taken off without loss of life.
 Direct communication with the grounded ship ceased at midnight. At that hour the Robert F.. Lees rapidly fading radio signals indi- cated she was in no immediate danger. although her engines were waterlogged. Her main radio set had been paralyzed by the force of im- pact when she struck the rocks.
 First attempts at rescue were made by coast guardsmen from the Manomet station at 7:35 a. III. At that hour. attempt was made to launch a surfboat to take off some of the wrecked steamers passengers.
 The first effort to launch a boat in the pounding surf failed. Later, after the drenched boat crew has rested and the seas abated, another attempt was to be made.
 The snow had settled down to faint flurries as the day wore on. AL though the wind was still blowing at gale force, the sea was gradually lowering.
 The Lee could be plainly seen from shore where scores of people had gathered to see the ill-fated vessel. Most Of them were sea-far- ing people or their wives and sweet hearts. They were interested but not excited. These people have seen many a ship pile up on the ragged coast line and break up with loss of life.
 From shore, the steamship seem- ed about 10 feet out of the water at low tide. The Mary Ann reef is con- cealed by the waves even at low tide.
 The wind whipped waves could be seen tossing against the sides of the Lee. High tossed foam has formed a coating of ice on the rail and 
 Perhaps & quarter mile away lay the three naval vessels from Provincetown. The coast guard ships to have gone on.
 After several unsuccessful at- tempts coast guardsmen succeeded in launching a surfboat at S:45 a. m. It could be seen several hundred feet off shore. its crew of six bent at the oars.
 Officers at the station felt confi- dent 1t would reach the stranded vessel, although it was questionable the tiny lifeboat could get close to the Lee to effect & rescue of any passengers.
 Inside Cape Cod Bay
 The rocks on which the Robert E. Lee went aground are about a mile off Manomet Point. six miles below Plymouth on the inside of Cape Cod Bay. At this point, however. the bay s approximately 25 miles wide. Capt. H. w. Robinson of the Eastern Steamship lines, who was in charge 'f the ship, is believed to have been attempting to steer course as lose as possible to shore to avoid ! he fury of the storm.
 The coast guard station here recognized the ships peril and at empted to warn her by signal , ights as she nosed down the coast. The warning was too late. The Rob- Tt F.. Lee was already fast upon the ocks, and in a few minutes her radio set above decks was flashing out the first of the S 0 S.

 CHAIN NEWSPAPERS
(Continued from First Page.)

utu l1ciIl flTSt rage candidate, and if it does not do SO, the whole influence of these papers IS to be thrown to the democratic party?
 Policies Not Republican.
 Docs this indicate that in the opinion of these editors the candi- date that they select for the repub- llcan party represents principles, generally, the same as those repre- scented by their chosen leader for the democratic party? It cannot be said that these newspapers in any respect represent the principles or policies of the administration of President Coolidge.
 No newspapers in the country have more bitterly assailed or more unreasonably criticized the policies Of President Coolidge than those pa pers who now propose to dictate the republican nomination for the pres idency.
 "1t will be interesting to note how iS''o O. Set 1iS SN'Pd PSl S, ly owned throughout the country, will be content to follow meekly and subserviently, the leadership of this chain of papers. AS the campaign proceeds, no doubt the chain news papers will fully explain their req sons for supporting their candidates for each of the two parties.
 Are Candidates Same
 "ls it because both of these can didates are internationally minded? Is it to be assumed that their views are the same with reference to the League of Nations? Do these news papers contend that their candidates entertain similar views with refer ence 10 the tariff? Do they claim that th epositions of their chosen anointed are similar with reference to the eighteenth amendment and it's enforcement?
 The question that is presented to the republican voters of the state of Ohio and of the country is simply this: Are they to make their own free, unfettered and or are they to permit these that have always fought republican policies and opposed every republican administration. including that of President Coolidge, to make the nomination for them under the threat that if such authority is not given, these newspapers will swing their influence. whatever it may be, 10 Governor Smith of New York"

COOLIDGE FAVORS
 NORTH CAROLINA
May Spend His Summers Yaca.
 tion in AsheVlle

Washington. March 10 R1Of various invitations so far received for this years summer White House. President Coolidge finds one from the south, as Asheville. N. C., the most attrac ctive.
 Although . finaf decision has not yet been reached. residence offer cd no later than Thursday by Philip s. Henry of Asheville, appears to the president 10 unite the essential features for his 1928 vacation home. Zealndia. as the Henry mansion is known, occupies 100 or 120 acres of Beaucatcher mountain at an alti- tude of about 5000 feet. or about 500 feet higher than the city proper.
 Close to Washington.
 The place also Is close to Wash ington, relatively close to New Eng land and at a sufficient heighth to assure relief from the summer heat. three factors which will figure in the ultimate selection.
 Asheville is only fourteen hours from Washington by railroad, and as such is looked upon by the chief executive as within a convenient dis tance from his likely centers of operation this summer. One of these probably will be Northampton. Mass. whence Mir. Coolidge does not wish to depart too far on account of the condition of Mrs. Lemira Goodhue. Mrs. Coolidge's mother. who has been dangerously ill since last De- cember. Washington, on account of the peculiar situation this year. is the other center to which Mir. Cool idge intends to remain relatively close.
 Leave June ii
 The likely dates on which Mir. Coolidge would begin his vacation can not as yet be settled. The Presi- dent feels that. although 1t will de- pend largely upon the closing of congress. for which he naturally will remain in Washington. his departure is not likely to be before June II. for which day the budget meeting has been tentatively scheduled.
 MT. Coolidge. in this respect, is of the opinion that congress easily could dispose of all business before it by the middle of May. This would leave him free to star his annual vacation as soon after June II as practicable. probably coincidentally with the opening of the republican national convention in Kansas City on June lc.
 The President is believed to be in regarding Zelandia with favor by recollections of his visit to Asheville with Mrs. Coolidge while he was vice-president. It was his first trip to the south. and re- mained the farthest he had gone be- yond Virginia until his visit to Ha- vana in January.
 Mrs. Coolidge is known to have especially warm recollections of her visit to North Carolina. She is said even to have championed an invita- tion from that state last year before ] the Black Hills of South Dakota finally were decided upon
