GORDON HARRISON, SINGER, ARRESTED

Sought since Saturday as suspect in theft of a check from the mail box of Isadore Kramer, real estate man, of 182 Grand street, Gordon Harrison, 21, of 182 Grand street, was arrested today on 8 charge of theft by Detective Lieutenant Ed ward J. McElligott.
 The complaint alleged that the check, drawn to MT. Kramer by an insurance firm and for SIP, was re- moved from the mailbox Saturday. Investigation led Detective McElli- gott to seek Harrison, singer and entertainer, who left the city over the weekend.
 Report of the matter has been made to the postal authorities, but whether they will undertake to sup- ercede the action started by the po- lice remained in doubt today. The federal charge would derive from "tampering with United States mail"
 Harrison, it was alleged took the check to a local bank and Detec- tive Lieutenant McElligott obtained description of the alleged thief from bank teller who had refused to cash the check.
 According to police, Harrison is alleged to have admitted cashng the check at a tavern and is said to have remarked that he made in- dorsement of both the payee's sig nature and his own. The check, at present is not cleared through the bank, and any other charges by Wa terbury police await their inspection of the check.

FRANK STEARNS DIES IN BOSTON
Second Prominent Figure in Life of Coolidge Has Passed Away

Boston, March 7.-(UP)-For the second time in 36 hours, death has claimed a prominent figure in the administration of the late President Calvin Coolidge. Frank Waterman Stearns, 82, confidant and adviser of MT. Coolidge, died of pneumonia at his home here late yesterday only one day after the death at Ludlow, Vt., of John G. Sargent, 78, attorney-general in the Coolidge cabinet.
 Dies a Catholic
 Born Q Congregationalist, Stearns will be buried as Roman Catholic, having been converted in 1885. Fun eral arrangements were to be an- nounced later today.
 ' The relationship between Stearns and Coolidge began when the lat ter entered Massachusetts politics It continued successively through Coolidge's tenure as governor and as President and was likened to the advisory capacity in which Colonel Edward M. House served.
 Born in Boston
 StearnS, who was 8 prominent Boston merchant, was born in Bos- ton, son of Richard Hall and Louisa Maria (Waterman) Stearns. He graduated from Amherst in 1878 and in 1892 was awarded an honor ary doctorate of laws by that col- lege.
 He married Emily Williston Clark of Amherst February 26, 1880. Sur viving him besides his wife are two daughters, Mrs. Emily w. Geise and Mrs. Louisa Prescott, and a son Mrs. Foster Stearns, R. N. H.
 Claude M. Fuess, official biogra- pher of Coolidge, once said:
 Tt is evident that it was the faith of MT. Stearns in Governor Coolidge which gave him the oppor- tunity to become the President of the United Staets. Not since the days of Franklin Pierce had a New Englander lived in the White House and 1t was the stubborn loyalty of Frank w. Stearns which gave to Massachusetts its first President
