BURY WHITE HOUSE BOY IN VERMONT Brief Services in East Room at Three o'clock Tomorrow Afternoon WASHINGTON, July $ — In TOGETHER Congressman Reports Progress in Winning Support for Dam If the states affection all stand together and do not divide on minor issues, the Boulder Dam project's realization will begin "in the very near future." Government aid for Orange-co harbor's development, also, may be expected "in the near future." Cong. Phil D. Swing, sponsor of the bill for the construction of the dam, reported considerable progress in winning support for it among government and party leaders, in one of his enthusiastic and optimistic speeches today at the Elks' club. The speech was delivered at the Kiwanis club's weekly luncheon gathering, but many Rotarians and Lions of Anaheim and elsewhere in the county were present. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, delegate at large to the Republican national convention, will speak at the next luncheon meeting, according to an announcement of Homer P. Ames, who presided, and Col. S. H. Pinley of Santa Ana at a luncheon probably within the next few weeks. Seventy-five to 100 Kiwanians are expected at the annual outing to be held at Newport Beach next Tuesday.

Resolutions of condolence to President Coolidge on the death of his son also were passed, on motion of Rev. J. A. Geissinger. Congressman Swing in his speech introduced some angles of the Boulder Dam project which haven't been emphasized here. One was that no considerable cut in freight rates on citrus fruit, etc., might be anticipated until fire thus far this year, Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction, today sent a bulletin to all local school boards urging that a rigid guard be intainted over school buildings. Wood asserted in his bulletin that he believed the series of school fires were of incendiary origin and asked that watchmen be employed to halt depredations of arsonists. ATTEMPT TO ASCERTAIN POWERS After handing down arbitrary decisions in rationing of electric power for several weeks, the county power commission of the farm bureau decided today it didn't know what its powers were if any, and it was decided to go before the railroad commission in Los Angeles tomorrow to determine its status. The commission today decided to let all packing houses in the Santa Ana district use all the power necessary, after L. D. Palmer, head of the Orange-co Fruit Exchange, and a member of the commission, declared that last month packing houses returned $ million dollars to the county. It was reported that some large irrigators within the first seven days of this month had used their quota of power for the entire month but the commission was inclined to permit them to use whatever additional power they may need.

IN VERMONT Brief Services in East Room at Three o'clock Tomorrow Afternoon WASHINGTON, July 8 — In the little country churchyard of Plymouth, among the rugged Vermont hills where his forbears dwelt for 200 years, Calvin Coolidge Jr., dead son of the president, will have his last earthly resting place. Funeral arrangements completed today at the White House by the grief stricken parents provide for burial at Plymouth, present home of the boy's grandfather, on Thursday afternoon. Following simple funeral services in the east room of the White House at 4 p.m. tomorrow, the president and Mrs. Coolidge accompanied by a number of intimate friends, will leave Washington for Northampton, Mass., where the Coolidges lived for mahays. Services will be held there at 10 a.m. Thursday at the Edwards Congregational Church in charge of the Rev. Kenneth B. Walls, Calvin Jr., was a member of this church. Immediately after the services at Northampton, the funeral party will leave for Plymouth, where interment will take place at 4 p.m. Friends of the president and Mrs. Coolidge, members of the cabinet and diplomatic corps with other government officials senators and congressmen, will be invited to the services at the White House tomorrow after noon. The north grounds of the executive mansion facing on Pennsylvania-ave. will be thrown open to the public, but only invited guests will be permitted to enter the house. The services will be in charge of the Rev. Jason Noble Pierce pastor of the First Congregational Church of Washington, on which the president and Mrs. Coolidge are members. Calvin Jr., resting after his terrifie 5-day battle against the ravages of blood poisoning, laid this afternoon in a gray casket in the historic East room of the White House—the same room where 8 years ago Abraham Lincoln stood weeping beside the coffin containing the body of his son, Tad Since the death of Tad Lincoln in 1863, Calvin Coolidge Jr., is the first son of a president to die while a resident of the White House. Resolutions of condolence to President Coolidge on the death of his son also were passed, on motion of Rev. J. A. Geissinger. Congressman Swing in his speech introduced some angles of the Boulder Dam project which haven't been emphasized here. One was that no considerable cut in freight rates on citrus fruit, etc., might be anticipated until the project was realized and the railways could be electrified. Another was that the industrialization of the Pacific slope, particularly the southwest, with its manufactures going to domestic markets as well as the Orient and South America, never could be expected until the power of the Colorado river had been so utilized. Orange-co had reached its maximum agricultural development and now had to turn to manufactures. Introduced by Ames, a Democrat,—Ames had been assessing fines right and left—Swing declared Ames was running true to form in that "more taxes were assessed than gifts distributed." The congressman followed with a reference to President Coolidge's bereavement. The president, he declared, "had a very human heart beneath a quiet exterior." Turning to the Boulder Dam project, Swing asserted that its realization had become "an absolute necessity" and not a mere "desirability." The present dry season was only one of several that came in the cycle of weather. So. Calif., in his opinion, said southwest should prepare for the next dry years. He told how three champions of the project had stepped out—President Harding, who was to have given his final Pacific slope speech at San Diego in favor of the work; Ex-Secretary Fall, who "fell from grace"; and Arthur Davis, who was ousted as head of the reclamation service. President Coolidge was persuaded to include in his message to congress a reference in favor of the dam. Secretary Work had come out openly for the improvement, when he had asserted that the Colorado river should be changed from "a natural menace to a national asset."

Calvin, Jr., resting after his terrific 5-day battle against the ravages of blood poisoning, lad this afternoon in a gray casket in the historic East room of the White House—the same room where 62 years ago Abraham Lincoln stood weeping beside the coffin containing the body of his son, Tad. Since the death of Tad Lincoln in 1863, Calvin-Coolidge, Jr., is the first son of a president to die while a resident of the White House. Crying softly, but standing up well under the strain, Mrs. Coolidge remained in retirement in her apartment. The president more silent than ever in his suffering, spent part of the day in the executive offices arranging for the funeral. A military guard, consisting of six marines and six sailors guarded the casket. The marines, under the command of Lieutenant Edgar Allan Poe, will accompany the body on the funeral train to Northampton and Plymouth. A bugler of the marine band will sound taps over the grave in Plymouth churchyard. As soon as the services are Plymouth are completed, the president and Mrs. Coolidge will return to Washington. It is expected, however, that they will arrange to leave the capital shortly after their return for a brief vacation. A spray of white roses and lilies of the valley may be a background of green, tied into a large white ribbon, was plaited on the front door of the White House.

Burglaries escaped with loot valued at possibly $200. Homes entered were those of William Clark, 908 East South-st; C.E. Douglas, 533 East Vermont-ave; and C. Langston, 866 South Philadelphia-st. The Clark home was entered by "jimmying" a screen window on the front porch, and about $2 in money and jewelry valued at about $150 taken. The Douglas home was entered by a passkey, and the house ransacked and a gold watch chain taken. The burglaries evidently were looking for money. An attempted hold-up on East North-st in the Mills tract about 1 a.m. today was reported by John Newman, who says that his car was flagged there as he was on his way home: He fled, and drove to the police station, giving a description of the men and the car at their disposal. Police went to that vicinity immediately, but the hold-ups had fled. Increased burglary and banditry are attributed to the lack of sufficient street lights. Police reported themselves unable to find any new clue to the Hotel Valencia burglary early Sunday morning when one man decoded the night clerk upstairs to show him a room while the other rifled the cash register of $68.50. The two men are said to have made their escape in an Oakland car before the theft was discovered. HOUSE RANSACKED The home of C. McCabe, 324 East South-st, was entered last night and ransacked from cellar to attic, drawers being entered, FINALS "Bud": Houser of U.S.C. Takes First Place in Shot Put Today COLOMBES STADIUM, France, July 8.—Winning two finals in today's track and field events of the Olympic games, America's sterling athletes increased their point lead over Finland, their most dangerous rival. Clarence "Bud" Houser, University of So. Calif., youth, took the shot put and the Stars and Stripes were run up on the Olympic flag pole for the second time today. COLOMBES STADIUM, France, July 8—Lowe, of Great Britain was the first winner to flash in today's Olympics when he raced a fast field off its feet in the final of the 800 metre run and won in the fine time of one minute, 52 2-5 seconds. Martin, of Switzerland, was second, and S.C. Enck, Penn State, third. Starkard, Great Britain, finished fourth with Wm. B. Richardson, Stanford, fifth, and Ray Dodge, Oregon Aggies, sixth. The result was a keen disappointment to the Americans for the United States picked up but seven points. Lowe ran the fastest race since Jas. E. Meredith established the world's record in Sweden in 1912, in order to shake off the fine string of American middle distance men and his own countrymen and Martin of Sweden who showed unexpected speed in coming to the tape second. Lowe's time of 1:52 2-5 is only a fraction of a second slower than Meredith's record of 1:51 9-10. All made a good effort in the last 60 yards, and Lowe and Martin got out in front, closely pressed by Richardson and Enck. The Americans failed to catch the flying Europeans. The Stars and Stripes were run up the Olympic flagpole for the second time today in token of an American victory when Deart Hubbard, Univ. of Michał won the broad jump with a mighty leap. Ned Gourdin, former Harvard athlete and predecessor of Bob Legendre as world's record holder, was second. The two colored men added 15 points to the United States total. Hansen of Norway took third place and Tuolus of Finland was fourth. Fifth and sixth places went to Wilhelm of France and Mackintosh of England. The proposed new joint municipal power and water plant Anaheim and Fullerton is expected to be the foremost quality arising at tonight's meeting of the Fullerton trustee. The matter received favorable tention at the last meeting of the Fullerton board who, at suggestion of W. J. Carmich instructed the Fullerton engineer to take the matter up with Anaheim, which Paul D. Pratt acting engineer, did in the sense of W. C. Record, engineering. The matter was received favorably by the Anaheim Board, which suggested a joint meeting of Anaheim and Fullerton tomorrow night to discuss matters at length, sending Fullerton board an invitation which is to be acted upon night. The unanimous support of the Fullerton trustees to the proposal is forecast. City Manager J.W. Price, Engineer E.P. Hapgood and Co. Power Supt. V.W.Hanness were in conference this afternoon upon plans to be recommended for the size of the plant. Manager Price said the chief prolem seemed to be to determine the size of the plant. A surface of the district leads him to have a 2000 K.W. plant—a 2700 h.p.-would be none too for a start. The city has given the assurance that as it can provide the power can take over the chemical pail which requires 350 h.p.through 24 hours. A number of plants are also anxious hook up with the municipal plant. HOUSE RANSACKED The home of C. McCabe, 324 East South-st., was entered last night and ransacked from cellar to attic, drawers being entered, and the things in every room turned upside down. Mrs. McCabe is away, and a final check-up had not been made today, but Mr. McCabe said that he had missed a suit of clothes, a front-room rug and some silverware. Police later found the coat and vest in an orange orchard near Olive and South-sts. SOUGHT REVENGE NEEDLES, July 8—Jose Frosto lies in a hospital here today with five bullets in his body and H. Y.

RALSTON ADVANCING STEADILY Brennan Favors Balloting Without Cessation Until Nomination NEW YORK, July 8 — Tom NINT POWER PLANT WILL BE URGED NEW NOMINATION MAY COME TONIGHT NEW YORK, July 8—"I think we will nominate tonight. It looks very hopeful to me. Both sides have shown exceptionally good spirit." This statement was made shortly before 5 p.m. by Sen. Thomas J. Walah, of Mont., permanent chairman of the democratic convention, after he had talked with Wm. G. McAdoo and George E. Brennan, the opposing forces in the McAdoo-Smith deadlock. A joint conference of the McAdoo managers and the Smith managers was being arranged at that time. A meeting place was proposed but a hitch developed concerning it and new arrangements had to be made. Senator Walah was acting as the chief conciliator. After the convention adjourned at 3 p.m. he had a long conference with McAdoo at the Vanderblit Hotel, and then went to the Waldorf, where he saw Brennan, who, Smith announced earlier, would represent him in any parleys resulting in the new peace move. Gov. Smith himself went to his headquarters in the Bliltmore and left his interests in Brennan's hands. T. L. Chadbourne, one of McAdoo's chief advisers and financial backers, saw Gov. Smith for a half hour after he had retired to the Bliltmore. Chadbourne had just come from a conference with McAdOO. Chadbourne declined to discuss his conference with Smith, or to state whether a compromise had been agreed upon. STEADILY Brennan Favors Balloting Without Cessation Until Nomination NEW YORK, July 8—Tom Taggart, Indiana bass, announced after a conference at which it had been arranged to put Senator Samuel Ralston of Indiana across as the Democratic presidential nominee, that the senator had spoken to him over the telephone a few minutes before and had finally and for the last time announced his refusal to accept the nomination. MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, July 8—After taking six more ballots, making 92, in a rattle attempt to nominate a candidate for the presidency, the Democratic national convention adjourned at 2:45 p.m. until 9 tonight to give the leaders another chance to work out some agreement. Doth McAdoo and Smith leaders bespoke their willingness from the platform to get together and try to find a way out of the impasse that has blocked any progress in any direction for more than a week. The adjournment move come from George E. Brennan, the Illinois boss and leader of the anti-McAdoo faction. He declared that "democrats at home" are beginning to look to this convention to do something and to do it quick, and he thought the best way to go about it was to cease this endless balloting and afford a period of further conferences between the leaders. The McAdoo delegates were yelling their opposition to this when the McAdoo leaders motioned them down; One Bruce Kremer, floor manager for the California candidate, seconded Brennan's move. He said that if the convention would only recuse until 9 o'clock tonight he believed it would be possible to work out something. "And if it doesn't," he concluded dramatically, "I for one will favor keeping this convention in continuous session until we nominate a candidate for the presidency." Frank C. Davis, of San Antonio, made a motion from the floor that further sections be held in executive session. It was voted down by an overwhelming majority with no roll call. Charles M. Hay of St. Louis asked for two minutes to speak in RIKING SCOUTS RETURN TO DUTY MANILA, July 8—Ninety per cent of the 600 Filipino scouts of 57th infantry who went on the yesterday had returned to duty.

Chadbourne, one of McAdoo's chief advisers and financial backers, saw Gov. Smith for a half hour after he had retired to the Biltmore. Chadbourne had just come from a conference with McAdoo. Chadbourne declined to discuss his conference with Smith, or to state whether a compromise had been agreed upon. Various reports were current about the headquarters of the various candidates as the afternoon wore on. One was that tonight's session would see a new struggle between the Smith-Brennan forces on the one hand, backing John W. Davis and the McAdoo-Bryan-Taggart combination on the other, backing Sen. Samuel M. Ralston, of Indiana. This report was apparently borne out by the activities of both the McAdoo and Smith forces late this afternoon. The word was passed out among the McAdoo state leaders that "it is to be Ralston." The report that the Smith-Brennan contingent had decided to get behind Davis was less definite. A conference of Smith managers was called to meet at the Biltmore Hotel with the governor between 6 and 7. While the expectation of a conference between the Smith people and McAdoo people was general when the convention recessed, George E. Brennan threw somewhat of a damper on the processions after he had talked an hour with Gcv. Smith at the Manhattan club. "We are going to keep right on balloting for Al Smith, said the Illinois boss." I'm looking for no compromise. I am satisfied with the results to date." Frank C. Davis of San Antonio, Texas, made a motion from the floor after $2 ballots that "the national committee is empowered to fix the time and place for a new convention and that this convention do now adjourn sine die." He was greeted with yells of "sit down" and "shut up". The chairman refused to recognize him and the motion came to nothing. A full-blown drive for Senator Samuel M.
