STEWARD
CALLS ON HOOVER
Faag Has Fed Many Presi-
dents-Says Mckinley
Easiest to Please.

BY the Associated Press.
Edward 8. Faag, who says he has
! fed every President since Grant. with
the exception of Wilson and Harding,
today added to his treasury Of memories
sympathetic nod Of recognition from
President Hoover.
The white-haired hotel steward called
at the White House yesterday and won
broad smile from the Chief Executive
by recalling the Presidents concern
over food for Herbert, jr., one day about
40 years ago In San Jose, Calf.
Leaving the Executive Mansion, Faag
commented on the famous men he had
served:
Mckinley was the easiest to please,
the most delicate about his eating;
Roosevelt was the hardest to feed.
Says Coolidge Minced.
Coolidge minced" Faag said, adding,
"a light eater, very light eater"
Coming from Virginia to pay his re-
steward donned his badges Of Confed-
crate service for the occasion. The
President noticed them, but could not
place his caller. Faag,s face fell.
Don't you remember that day IN
San Jose when you came out TO ask me
about the little fellows food?" the
steward asked the President.
President Hoover did. He and Mrs.
Hoover had stopped en- route to Palo
Alto. Mr.. Hoover had gone into the
dining room to satisfy himself that his
sons food was healthful. The steward
had treasured him.
So Faag left the executive ONCE
beaming with satisfaction.
1T don't know about Mr.. Hoovers
eating" he said. ST never guessed then
that he would be President"
Recalling the various Presidents he
had served at different hotels. the stew
ard mention especially Mckinley and
Taft.
Mckinley Loved HuckIeberry Pie.
MANY a huckleberry, pie sent to
President Mckinley; he loved IT," The
steward served this President on Lake
Champlain. Once Teddy Roosevelt,
then Governor Of New York, was at the
same hotel
Taft ate more than any man ever
fed" said the steward, land was frank
and jovial about it."
He recalled that when Taft went to
Charleston for the launching of the
battleship South Carolina he had ca
tered to the Presidents taste for baked
ham by baking two Of them In Ma
deira. He then had sliced OF enough
for six persons. President Taft drew
the salver toward him, Faag said, and,
winking at the waiter, observed, "Indi-
vidual dishes, eh?"

CUBANS PROTEST
REVISION OF COURT
Twofold Objection Reported ito
League Of Nations
Proposal.
By the Associated press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, August 22.-The Cuban
government yesterday reported to the
League Of Nations its twofold objection
to the putting into effect by the coming
League Council session Of the protocol
for revision of the World Court statute.
Cuba's first objection Is against the
proposal to put the revision into effect,
despite lack Of complete number Of
retiflcations, by ascertaining that no
non-ratifying government objects.
The second objection of the Cuban
government is to the provision in the
revised statutes that the court shall sit
continuously. Cuba holds that the
tribunal has not enough business to
occupy it continuously.
Unless Cuba Is induced TO withdraw
its objection, the protocol for revision Is
not likely to be declared In force.

RICH ZIMMERMAN
DIES IN HERMITAGE
Charles F. Ruggles, 81, Pic
turesque Figure of North
ern Michigan.
By the Associated Press.

EAooONA0bG9 -
MANISTEE, Mich, August 22-Death
came last night to Charles r. Ruggles,
the last Of the Michigan lumber barons,
and found him in a plain little room
where he had lived for years, preparing
his own meals, Scrubbing the floors and
spending hours over kettles In which
he made candy for distribution to chill
dren at Christmas time.
Ruggles, at Sd, died q multi million
aire, but there was little difference in
his mode of life during his last days
from that OF his youth, when he saw
and seized the opportunities In North
ern Michigan's virgin forests. When
his contemporaries in the industry went
to the cities years ago and built flne
homes he remained behind, living as he
always had lived, wearing moccasins
and lumberjack shirt, with no necktie
beneath his long white beard.
Manufactures Of Salt.
When numbering passed out in Michi-
gan he turned to salt manufacturing
and until last Saturday, when ne was
stricken Ill, was active every work day.
He bought into the lumber industry In
other States-MinneSota, the Carolinas,
Florida, California-and much of the
huge estate he left behind Is repre-
sented in these holdings.
Ruggles was born In Bangor, Me, on
March 8, 1916. His parents took him
TO Oshkosh, Wis, where he worked In
match factory as youth. The family
moved to Manistee because the youth
was suffering from PHOSPHORUS poison
ing from matches and a physician
recommended outdoor life. This led
MIN TO become interested in lumber and
led to his amassing fortune.
He never married hit the V,lana 0f
wife and children appeared to have been
nlled Tor him by friendships. He
financed Edward Buckley, his brother
in-law, in lumber mill deals years ago,
and later took as his clerk and proteRe
John F. Rademaker, who was associ-
ated with him for 40 years. Manistee
was startled last Winter by break be-
tween the two men which came to light
in a suit for $4,000, 900 against the old
man Med by Rademaker The case was
settled after the story Of the long re-
lationship had been told In court.
Property rights in many Joint enter
prises were separated IN q dissolution Of
partnership.
Continues TO Be Vigorous.
After that Ruggles carried on with his
salt business, apparently as vigorous as
at any time in the nearly 20 years he
lived here.
The strange life he led did not pre-
vent Ruggles from taking an interest
in the affairs Of the world at large. Two
years ago 1t was revealed through q
letter from the late Chief Justice Will
liam Howard Taft that Ruggles In 1912
provided funds to organize and sup
port the American Judiciary Society in
an effort to help prevent delays Of the
law"
Two doctors and four employees were
at the old mans bedside when he died.
Shortly before he had directed that his
funeral be held Saturday afternoon
with no religious ceremony, and that
his body be taken to Oshkosh to rest In
a n1ausoleum beside the bodies of his
father and mother.

Caribbean RULE
BY US. ADVOCATED
Admiral Hussey Tells VIII
Jamestown Institute of Ma
val Defense "Key."
b the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, August 40.
Independent control of the Caribbean
area by the United States was advocated
by Rear Admiral Charles L. Hussey,
U. s. N, retired, at the general con-
ference on the defensive aspects Of the
Caribbean area at the Institute of Poll?
tics today.
The United States should cooperate
with the rest Of the world in the Carib-
bean, he said, but should retain 1.-The
greatest freedom of action in independ-
ent control of that area" which he
termed the "key to our naval defense
and our economic welfare"
The strategy of the Caribbean centers
In the control of the Panama Canal, he
said, and 1t calls for mobile forces. in
Guiding aerial forces" At present there
Of great importance" He declared the
loss Of the Panama Canal would be a
disaster second only to invasion of the
continental United States"
Good From Interventions.
Admiral Hussey said interventions by
the United States in the Caribbean
should be judged by the good they have
accomplished and not solely by the re-
grettable incidents"
James w. Garner, professor of inter-
national law at the University of MI
nois, urged abandonment of the pres
ent American policy in the Caribbean
for one of consultative" or co-opera-
tive Intervention.
I'VE cannot go on indefinitely for
bidding the European powers to inter-
vene while we intervene as often as
we wish without consulting anybody but
ourselves" he said. He denied that the
Monroe Doctrine Is justification for In
that protection Of the Panama Canal
can be pleaded Is justification for in
tervention.
Should Abandon Stand.
"The United States" he said, should
abandon its present attitude toward the
Plat amendment, which was designed
to give 1t q legal right to intervene in
Cuba only to safeguard the indepen-
dence of the republic" The instrument,
he added, has been interpreted to justify
intervention In domestic affairs of Cuba
when neither the independence of q
country nor the adequacy Of its govern
ment were even remotely involved"
Admiral Arthur j. Hepburn, chief of
stah Of the United States Fleet, ex-
planned the part played by the Navy
In Caribbean intervention. The in
terest Of the service, he said, lies in
preservation Of security Of the Panama
Canal in its relations to national de-
Tense" That security, he said, has q
rather important bearing upon the fu-
ture history Of limitation Of arma-
ments," and especially upon tonnages
and ratios In both oceans. The Canal
Is delicate mechanism, he said, and
could be destroyed by q successful
operation on q very small scale"
