350 KNIGHTS CHEER COOLIDGE MESSAGE BY WILLIAM J. CLARK (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) MONTREAL, Que., Aug. 7.—Three hundred and fifty delegates from 61 states and Canadian provinces cheered themselves hoarse when President Colldge's message to the 41st annual convention of the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus was read at the opening session here today. In what is understood here to be the first official greeting to any organization by the new president, the Knights of Columbus were called "a patriotic order in every sense of the word" and their work and principles were classified in the following phrase: "There is no finer knighthood." President Coolidge's message, read to the enthusiastic delegates by the secretary declared: "The Knights of Columbus is in every sense of the word a patriotic order. You have established great war charities; you have helped to fill the national treasury with your contributions to the various Liberty Loan; and you have sent your dearest and best to bear the brunt of battle. "The men have served nobly and well in the army and the navy. Your order has ever shown its steadfast devotion to American principles and American ideals. "You are knights of Columbus, a name of great significance, representing not only a great discovery but the eternal principle of all discovery and progress. "When all the world doubled, when his own followers sought to turn back, he sailed on, daring to follow the truth. "There is no finer knighthood. In it your noble order stands, resisting all evil counsel; supporting every patriotic cause; following the truth exemplifying new the eternal principle, that truth shall make you free." WON'T REACH NATIONAL CAPITAL TIL MIDNIGHT (Continued from Page One) lady, one for the supreme court by the good fight and died in his country’s service. Thru the long night and early day as the train alternately crawled and flew across the state, Ohio came from its factories and its farms from its offices and shops, to stand quiet and uncovered beside the track over where the remains of two other great Ohioans, Garrfield and McKinley, have rested under the great dome of the capitol. The train crossed into Ohio from Indiana shortly after midnight from then on until early day crowds were to be seen at every station, varying in size according to the place, but never in their attitude of mute respect for Warren G. Harding, Sherwood, Defiance, Willard, Lodi, Akron, Ravenna and so on down to Youngstown, near the Pennsylvania line, they came and went as the night progressed. At Posteria and Tiffin, the remains of the president were only a little way north from grieving Marion, where on Friday they will be laid away with all the simplicity and lack of ostentation that his simple kindly manner could have wished. Never in the history of America has there been a journey comparable to this caravan of sorrow that for four days has wended its way across the continent. Quite probably there never will be one again. There have been crowds such as never were before witnessed in this country. No one has tried, no one could estimate with any degree of accuracy the numbers of people who left work and their homes to do him reverence. They have been cadless, enormous and well nigh inconceivable in their size, their reverence and their desire to show it. Words would not express this community sorrow which extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, even if words had been appropriate, or had there been time to listen to them; always it was flowers, draped colors, and silent grief for one man whose proudest boast was that he came from "Main Street."

Senator Arthur Capper, Republican of Kansas, leader of the senate "farm bloc", told the new executive there was no demand for a special session, in his section of the country. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Republican of Mass., discussed the same subject with the president and later declared he did not expect a special session to be called. Both senators pledged their people to support the Coolidge administration. There is a general disposition throughout the west to get in back of the Coolidge administration," said Capper after the conference. "The people in my section of the country feel very kindly toward the new president." RIOTING AT SLIGO DUBLIN, Aug. 7.—Bioting broke out during a republican political meeting at Sligo today. One person was seriously wounded in an exchange of shots.

DURNO (L.N.S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—Turning aside from the cares of state, President Coolidge today solemnly awaited the arrival here of the Harding funeral train with its burden of national grief. The president effaced himself, dropped the mantel of magistracy which fell upon him with President Harding's death and as any private citizen, joined the multitude waiting at the end of the 3,000 mile "Avenue of Borrow." The heavy lines about his eyes, the twitching of lips and little acts of nervousness indicated the tension of awailing the return of his beloved chief—Warren G. Harding. He arose early—7 o'clock—breakfasted with Mrs. Coolidge and then, while newspapermen and attaches slumbered, wandered out of the temporary white house, escorted only by a few secret service men. He walked down thru the lobby of the hotel, out on to Ft. Washington's Broadway, and strolled four blocks thru the busiest section of the capital-down to the business section. Thousands of store clerks and government workers, en route to their employment, rushed past him, some even forcing him to step aside, to prevent a collision. Stopping now and then to stare into store windows at show displays, the president seemingly gave all that to the momentous days to come when he will be solely responsible for the ship of state. Everywhere he went, crepe velled photographs of President Harding stared back at him from windows of Ft. establishments. Now and then, the new president paused to gaze intently at some striking likeness of the dead president. The stroll consumed 17 minutes, the president returning to his "White House" at 8:12 a.m. On his trip, covering eight city blocks, he had been recognized but calmed. U. S.

Pastor Bollen in his speech said that the business world began in Syria and then passed by conquest in turn to Persia, Macedonia, Rome, Spain and England.

Confidence in the intergrity of humanity made it possible to do business. Recently a bill was introduced into Parliament to abolish private capital, said the speaker, and former Premier Lloyd George had declared that unless present tendencies changed, such a bill would pass. If it did, repudiation of private and public debts would follow. If labor obtained double its present wages, in five years it would want the same thing to be done over again; declared Pastor Bollen.

George Slater will undoubtedly be appointed as Fohl's successor, it was understood. SARGUM SPROUTINGS The fight critics are surprised at the change in Jack Dempsey training for the Pirpo fight and the Jack Dempsey of a few weeks ago training for Gibbons. They find that Dempsey has regained his regular good nature and is bubbling over with vim and vinegar. He has lost his worried, quiet mood. There were several reasons why Jack was worried at Shelby. He found that his long lay off necessitated a heavy training grind to which he did not respond as he thought he should. Then his long lay-off had dulled his confidence. He did not know just how good he really was. Last, but not least, the scramble over the financial end of the match worried Jack. Jack now knows his ability; he has regained his confidence and the money end of the coming fight will not give him a thought. The smiling Jack Dempsey of today is a much better man, than the sober, worried Dempsey in Great Falls training camp. Miss Helen Willis went down in glorious defeat before Molla Mallory. Molla's strength and experience proved too much for the girl wonder. Miss Willis won the first set by brilliant work but weakened and lost the next two. Mrs. Mallory is still a wonderful player and it takes the dazzling speed of the French world-champion, Suzanne Lenglin, to defeat her. Johnny Wilson has the old confidence. Wilson meets Harry Greb Aug. 11, when Johnny not only puts up his middleweight crown but his fortune of about $500,000. If Johnny loses he will be crownless and almost penniless. Some game sport we say, but if he wins, O, mamma, what a gathering. A lot of nice things are being said about Colonel Pete Hax since the Anaheim Elks have again won the championship of the So.Calif. Elks league. We do not wish to detract from those nice things said, for it was Hax who first assembled the machine that has walked away with four championships, but we wish to say that the colonel was very fortunate in having the Colian brothers, Art Ramage, Jack Pendiston and Harry Hughes to form the superstructure of his team. With these to work with, Hax was enabled to develop his younger players, the two Brushes, Schrott and Hawkins, as he needed them. With the wonderful showing of the team, there surely has never been any friction among the players. There is where the manager comes in. A manager has to be a real leader to keep a semi-pro ball team going without friction among its members. We take our hat off to you Colonel as manager and to the boys as players. All Anaheim is proud of your record as sportsmen and gentlemen. PEACHES! Elberta Freestone The Choice Are Ready. Elberta Freestone The Choice Are Ready. Do Your Canning Now S.
