G. O. P. CAMPAIGN OPENS AUG. 14th WASHINGTON, July 15—The much-vaunted "Advisory committee" for conducting president Coolidge's November campaign will be composed of a "shifting personnel" and subordinate to the republican national committee, it was learned at the White House officially today. The announcement represented a complete victory for Wm. Butler, National chairman and sets at rest all rumors of friction with the president over the conduct of affairs at Cleveland. WASHINGTON, July 15—Plans for the active prosecution of President Coolidge's campaign to succeed himself, it was announced today, will be mapped out in a series of conferences opening here tomorrow. A Republican "board of strategy," headed by the president himself, and William M. Butler, chairman of the national committee, has been called together for this purpose. The opening gun will be fired Aug. 14, agreed upon as the date for M. Coolidge's formal notification of his nomination. Invitations to this affair, postponed from the original date this month following the tragic death a week ago of Calvin Coolidge, Jr.—were sent out today, to Republican governors, congressmen and other prominent members of the party. The president's speech of acceptance which with all others he will make, is to be broadcast over the radio, will sound the keynote of the Republican attack on the opposing candidates. Tentative arrangements for the campaign call for a few speeches in person by the president and a somewhat greater number over the radio. The east will be Mr. Coolidge's principal "stamping grounds" and he is not expected at any time to get further west than the Mississippi. Beyond that dividing line, Gen. Charles G. Dawes, his running mate, will be left to carry the standard.

Davis, Democratic nominee for president, is the selection of his campaign manager; in other words, the selection of the man who will succeed Cordell Hull, retiring chairman of the Democratic national committee. Davis again took up this disturbing problem with his advisers today and there were indications that a decision would be reached within a short time—Friday at the latest. The presidential nominee was silent when asked who probably would be his choice. In the conferences of the last 36 hours the names of four men have been mentioned prominently for the post. They are Frank L. Polk of New York, Vance McCormick of Pennsylvania, George White of Ohio, former national committeeman who conducted the campaign of James Cox four years ago, and C. L. Shaver of West Virginia, "the original Davis man." Various political objections have been raised against all, and of the four many close observers believe Shaver has the best chance of being selected; unless a "dark horse" is put forward.

Troy Times—The Democratic platform builders seemed to have more hammers than nails. The medical world has its eyes on Baby Lillian Landers, born almost an hour after its mother died in Atlanta, Ga., hospital of heart failure, by means of a Caesarian operation performed by Dr. J. Tidewell and Otto Steiner. Lillian is apparently normal, and at birth weighed eight pounds, four ounces.

Hundreds of men have been conscripted by morities in a desperate attempt to steam the menace. No grave was the situation in Siskiyou-co that forest rangers had automobiles, conscripting hundreds of able-bodied men and youths, rushing them to the scene in the trenendous conflagration between Mount Shasta and Son.

Spectators in KLINE WILL RUN FOR CAL SE LAWYERS QUARREL IN DUNCAN CASE CICERO, Ills, July 15.—The now celebrated case of the town of Cicero against Harold Duncan, and his diminutive sister, Rosetta (Topsy), whose nose was broken by a July 4 altercation with three policemen here, had its denouncement this afternoon when the brother was fined $20 and $5 costs for a minor traffic violation. Magistrate Henry Sandusky imposed the fine following testimony from the policemen who arrested Harold and later little Rosetta, after they declared, she leaped from her auto as it stood outside the police station and attacked three Cicero policemen who were sitting outside in their shirtsleeves. Disorderly charge against Rosetta was next called. It was a much divided audience that she little actress faced as she lightly touched plaster which still cheers a nasal organ that was mashed and smiling looked about her. Some few people who were jammed into the packed room, however, applauded the stage star but were quickly squelched by furious glances from the natives and Cicero policemen sprinkled about the benches. Magistrate Sandusky solemnly pounded for order and the first witness was called to prove that 120-pound Topsy cruelly beat 224-pound officer Willock. It was early seen that Town Prosecutor Carmody intended to put his case for law and order in the most minute detail before the court, so the bench ruled, late in the afternoon, that the proceedings would continue until 7 o'clock this evening when adjournment will be taken. It was not expected that the prosecution would have time to present all its evidence by that time. Officer Benjamin Delaney was the first witness. He told how the party had been arrested for failing to stop at a traffic signal, how the machine was taken with its occupants to the station and how Harold "and one lady" were taken upstairs in the station. 'Officer Stelneke took them up. Then one of the ladies in the car said: 'You dirty pups; we give benefits to feed you and you bring' NEARLY GOT GOAT Did you ever see a "hard-boiled" judge cry?

Cogan was charged with, and entered a plea of guilty to having passed another car at an intersection, but said that he didn't have any money, and that he has a wife and two children in Los Angeles. He evidently thot he was going to jail. He said it was the first time he had ever been arrested. The judge asked him if he didn't think he could dig up five dollars somewhere within a few days. He said he thot he could. Then the judge told him to go home, and send the money in by mail, which subdued his tears. gun." "What were you doing?" "Holding the lady with one hand." Was it because you were afraid that you backed toward the barn? "No, there were several on my lack and I was just trying to get away. I wanted to see where my partner was." And then a controversy between defense counsel Rathbun and Town Prosecutor Carmody stopped proceedings for a fine Carmody objected to cross questions put. "What do you know about law?" said Rathbun. "You probably went to school along Twelfth Street." "I studied in just as good a place as you did," retorted Carmody as he strode toward Rathbun. But police intervened. KLINE WILL RUN FOR CAL.

SEATTLE, July 15.—All forest fires in green timber in western Washington are under control and danger from new fires is temporarily at an end as a result of showers which started in the southwestern part of the state and spread yesterday and today over all threatened areas. George C. Joy, chief fire warden of the Washington forest fire association reported today only a few brush fires in Kitsip and Mason-cos. NELSON, B. C., July 15.—Twelve Doukhobors, nine badly burned, of the 16 trapped in the Porcupine Creek fire in the Salmon Valley Monday afternoon are safe this morning but the 28 horses they brought out are so severely burned as to be useless. Main over night is helping the situation. Small Doukhobors mills are burned and the entire valley is clean. The Wileox mine is considered doubled. West Arrow Park ranchers have sent a call to Nakusp for help but the gales sweeping the Arrow lakes prevent aid. Fires are rife in the Koomeay as a result of yesterday's gales. The Coykendahl fire on the C. P. R. was eight miles long. Yesterday's gale on the Arrow lakes took the steamer Bonnington and the new government wharf to which it was tied at Fauquirl and a number of Fauquir berry ranchers on the wharf, out to mid-lake. After a lot of manouvering, the steamer brought the wharf which was to have been officially opened at noon, back to the land, with its involuntary passengers. SPOKANE, July 15.—Thirty-five persons are believed to be the toll of lives taken in the disastrous forest fire which swept over Wheeler's Mill, six miles west of Blue Slide in Northern Pend D'Orllele-co. Eleven children lost their lives in the seething flames, when they tried to make their way out of automobiles with their parents when it was discovered that the mill was doomed. The missing are Mr. and Mrs. Jack Wheeler and four children, will be taken. It was not expected that the prosecution would have time to present all its evidence by that time. Officer Benjamin Delaney was the first witness. He told how the party had been arrested for failing to stop at a traffic signal, how the machine was taken with its occupants to the station and how Harold "and one lady" were taken upstairs in the station. "Officer Stelneke took them up. Then one of the ladies in the car said: 'You dirty pups; we give benefits to feed you and you bring us in for a mealy thing like this.'" "She came toward me with her handbag raised. I grabbed it, and told her to go away or I'd take her in, too. She dared me to. Officer Widock left the bench where we were sitting. She sunk her teeth in his arm. The others in the car came over. A couple were on my back. I shook them off and backed toward the patrol barn. The girl who went upstairs came down and yelled: 'Let's get the coppers!' "Then Harold came out and there were arguments while we tried to get our prisoners in the station. Just then the captain came and it started all over again." "On cross-examination Delaney was asked: 'Were many blows struck?' "You'd think so if you had one slide off your jaw life I did," he replied. "Where was Harold?" "In the crowd grabbing for my Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Wheeler and two children, Mr. and Mrs. McDavor and five children. Miss Nellie Dickson, a homesteader and several millworkers. A bare possibility existed that the trapped persons may have found safety in the mill pond. Late last night the fire was being driven toward Blue Slids by a strong wind. For a time lone and neighboring towns were threatened by the fast moving flames but are believed to be out of danger, unless the wind changes suddenly. Reports from Seattle stated that new fires had sprung up in Kitsip, Mason and Pierce counties and on Vashon Island. By WINNER NAME McCRACKEN MOOSE SECRETARY J. F. McCracken, district supervisor of the Loyal Order of Moose, was elected secretary of the local lodge at the regular meeting last night to take the place of Carl Mohr, who recently resigned. "Mac," as he is best known, will have charge of the organization work and will supervise a campaign for new members.

There is plenty of good reading matter, including daily papers. The past dictator from the Santa Ana lodge was present last night and made an inspiring talk on loyalty to Moosedom, which was a real treat. The secretary of the Santa Ana lodge was also present and gave an interesting talk on the duties of a good secretary. "Mac" took notice.

SHATTER DEFENSE IN BLAST TRIAL SANTA BARBARA, July 15 — In a series of blows against the defense in the trial of W. F. Crawford, Wm. Downs and Taylor Downs, for the murder of J. J. McGuire, killed by a dynamite bomb beneath his home, the prosecution opened its attack today by introducing Fred Estrada, powder man, as a surprise witness, who testified that he had given William Downs 12 sticks of dynamite two days before the murder. Estrada said that Downs had brought his father, Taylor Downs to him, introducing Downs under another name, asking for "about 12 sticks of dynamite." John Longawa, deputy sheriff, next witness called, testified that when he went to Los Olivos to arrest Crawford and Downs, he asked the latter what brand of cigar he had used in touching off the fuse, and that Downs had replied he "guessed it was a cigar of a certain popular brand." Another surprise blow was struck when George Campbell of Los Olivos took the stand and stated that while returning from a dance he stopped in front of the McGuire home for a moment and then drove on. This was designed by the state to shatter one of the main props of the defence which has sought to place responsibility for the slaying on the driver of a "mysterious car."

C. Evans, of San Jacinto. Kline declared that four years ago he had withdrawn to adhere to the "gentleman's agreement" between Riverside and Orange-co., providing for the alternation of the office from term to term, but that inasmuch as the agreement seemed to have gone by the board he was now in the race with both feet. Kline declared himself in favor of Orange-co., harbor and the San Juan Capistrano - Elsinor highway, as well as for tax reduction, and a general policy of retrenchment in the expenditure of public funds. Boston Transcript—"I am for economy. After that, I am for more economy."
