STEARNS CO 'ihe'bkJfppk riMaH I jr -A, On last- Wednesday, when the steamer was about 900 miles eaUf of Halifax, a wireless message was received from the captain of the British steamer Baluchistan, bound from Rotterdam for St Johns, requesting instructions for treatment of a seaman who had fallen into the hold and broken his leg. Dr W. Fitzpatrick, the ships surgeon, sent a wireless message giving complete instructions as to how to set the mans leg and he kept in touch with the vessel until the operation was successfully performed. Dr Fitzpatrick received a --l mm 0' fie ff? i i ON THEIR HONEYMOON message of thanks from the captain of the Baluchistan, who stated that the man was then comfortable.

AMBASSADOR RIAN0 RECALLED BY SPAIN WASHINGTON, July 26 (A, last of the war-time ambassadors in Washington, Don Juan Riano, dean of the diplomatic corps, has been recalled by the5 Spanish government, which has offered him a post in the Privy Council. He will be succeeded here by Don Alejandro Padilla, Spanish minister to Portugal MIGHT Parole Chairmati Brooks Sees Their Attorney Plans Early Visit to Cells of Men Doomed to Die Early in August Frank A. Brooks, chairman of the State Board of Parole, yesterday afternoon held a conference with Francis A. Juggins, attorney retained for the three convicted carbarn rob bers, in an effort to- bring about com' mutation of their sentence to the elec tric chair.

The three men are sen- tenced to die early in August. After petitions for commutation of the three death sentences to life imprisonment had been received at Gov Alvan T. Fullers office yesterday, Mr Brooks requested the attorney to call at his office in the State House. Mr Brooks das reticent as to the nature of the conference, but it is understood that it had to do with the grounds on which the appeal for clemency will be based. Chairman Brooks will visit the ceils of the three condemned men, John J.

Devereaux, John J. McLaughlin and Tdward J. Heinlein, there to hear their own appeal for pardon. Asked when the visits will be made, Mr Brooks said yesterday, In a few days. Mr Brooks already has been working on a previous petition of Heinlein.

After interviewing the men, Mr Brooks will make a formal report to the Governor. Gov Fuller will then determine whether he shall refer the petitions to the Executive Council on the question of the advisability of commuting the sentences. Without a favorable majority vote of the council, the Governor cannot commute the penalties. The contents of the petitions, as received by Francis O. P.

Carlson, assistant secretary to the Governor, was not made public. Frank J. Manning, secretary to the clemency committee organized in the drive for commutation, brought them to the State House. DEMOCRATS ENLIST GASTON FOR WALSH Continued From the First rage. weeks ago, when he entered the field for the Governorship, that he would retire if Col Gaston ran.

The other Democrat who has seriously considered a campaign for the party nomination for Governor is Joseph B. Ely of Westfield; he went to Europe a few weeks ago and said at that time that he would not make a contest in the primary. Ex-Mayor Andrew J. Peters this city and Gen Charles H. Cole, both of whom have been mentioned for the Governorship, are strongly behind Col Gaston.

And Ex-Mayors John F. Fitzgerald and James M. Curley, both of whom have been the Democratic nominee for Governor, are also committed to Col Gaston. Ex-Mayoi' Peter F. Sullivan of Worcester is in the same position.

Move to Draft Efy The Democratic leaders devoted some time yesterday to the rest of the State ticket, but nothing was done except to agree than an effort would be made, in order to give additional strength to the ticket, to persuade Mr Ely to be a candidate for the nomination for Lieutenant Governor. Mr Ely is now in France, where he will be reached by cable. If he is willing to run. for second place on "the ticket, he also will probably be unopposed in the primary. If he refuses, the leaders will agree on another candidate to be presented to the party voters.

The complete list of candidates proposed by the State committee will be made public at the meeting next Saturday at Bass Point. Walsh Only Awaited Other There is no news in the statement that Ex-Senator Walsh will run for the seat he had already filled for six years. Some of the politicians. Republicans as well as Democrats, have made a lot of fuss because he has held back the formal announcement of his candidacy, but there has never been any doubt that he would run. He has delayed until the leaders could agree on the candidate for Governor who seemed to be the strongest man to head the State ticket.

Now that Col Gaston has expressed his willingness to be a candidate for Governor, Mr Walsh has made his announcement also. The situation, as iar as Col Gaston is concerned, has been quite dixTerent. He had no intention of entering politics again, and some weeks ago iie said so to several of his personal friends. Recently, however, great pressure has been brought to bear on him, and, at last, because of a sense of duty to the party, he has consented to be a candidate for the Governorship, a post which has father filled just 50 years ago. Gaston Has G.

O. P. Following It is probable that Col Gaston has been influenced also by the messages he has received from Republicans who, of their own volition, have sent word that they would vote for him if he would run. Some Republicans, no one knows how many, are unfriendly to Gov Alvan T. Fuller and some are so bitter that they will seize the opportunity to vote for his Democratic- opponent.

This news has been conveyed to Col Gaston and it doubtless had weight with him Politicians generally agree that the Democrats have succeeded in their efforts to put forward the strongest ticket they, could nominate. Four years ago Col Gaston ran against the late Henry Cabot Lodge for the United States Senate and was defeated in the election by only 7354 votes. Even after allowance had been made for the dissatisfaction which certain Republicans felt towards Mr Lodge. Col Gastons run was regarded as phenomenal. The common belief is that no other Demo-crat would be so strong this year as Col Gaston.

Party Harmony Is Seen Mr Walsh has many times shown h.ls Political strength. He was twice StiCte iOVir9iRrJn thia RePubcan 1918 he ran for United Sat5- 6enator against the late John W. Weeks, who was a candidate for reelection, and defeated him bv a plurality of more than 19,000. Two years ago, when Mr Walsh was a candidate for a second term in thfe Senate, Speaker Frederick H. Gillett de-feated him by only 18.588 votes, spite of the fact that Calvin Coolidee who was In that election a candidate for President, carried Massachusetts by a plurality of 442,645, and Gov Fuller was elected by a plurality of 160.

807 over Ex-Mayor Curley, the Democratic nominee for Governor. It is clear that the coldness which hns- existed In other years between the Democratic State Committee and some of the party candidates for high office in the State has disappeared The fact that Mr Walsh and Col Gaston authorized Mr McGlue to make the formal statement that they would run and that the circulation of nomination papers for the two candidates is to be intrusted to the State Committee indicates that another step towards complete harmony in the party has been taken. Heavy fog in the vicinity of the Nova Scotia coast was responsible for a delay of several hours In the arrival of the White Star liner Celtic, from Liverpool and Queenstown. Capt F. F.

GROVES PAUL SMITHS, July 26-President Coolidge decided today to issue a statement regarding his, attitude on the subject of the foreign debts. The President had been quoted as saying that debtor. Nations could pay their debts through trade agreements.

The President thought the subject of sufficient importance to justify a statement making his position perfectly clear. The statement follows: The President has made no statement and authorized no interview concerning our1 foreign debts or trade agreements. Any claim to the contrary is without foundation. He did remark to a social visitor that foreign debtors could pay their debts in part from foreign trade. He has not mentioned trade agreements.

Richard Washburn Child, ex-Ambas-sador to Italy, and Mr and Mrs Edsel Ford are expected to visit White Pine Camp tomorrow. The former is expected to give the President his views regarding the seriousness of the unfriendly. attitude manifest against Americans in Paris and elsewhere on the Continent and also to discuss political and economic conditions in Italy which he is familiar. Mr Child has been a caller at the White House in Washington since he relinquished his diplomatic post and the request for his presence here at this time is taken to indicate a desire on the part of the President to secure additional Information on the war debt and allied topics. The President has tieen watching the course of events in Europe very closely since he has been here on his vacation.

He has been constantly informed by the State Department of the trend of affairs as indicated by the advices which have been received at Washington and he has also made independent inquiries, particularly relating to the French crisis. For the first time since he has been President Mr Coolidge found today that he was compelled to open mail, dictate letters and perform other secretarial duties about his office. Secretary to the President Sanders has been laid up several days with an attack of indigestion and Edward T. Clark, the Presidents personal secretary, was called to Boston yesterday by the death of a cousin. The President came to Paul Smiths Hotel this morning and visited Mr SanderS in his room.

He found him improving and hopeful that he will be back on his job in a day or so. In his absence the President is handling the office routine, being assisted by Erwin C. Gelser, his stenographer, and P. J. McKenna, chief usher outside the President's office.

PR0UT URGES ROPING OFF STREETS FOR PLAYGROUNDS Roping off of streets in congested tenement sections of Boston in order that children might play in safety was urged upon Mayor Nichols in a letter sent to City Hall yesterday by William C. Prout. candidate for the Democratic nomination for district attorney. Danger from automobiles would be eliminated If such traffic could be diverted to other streets, giving children the freedom of the roped off areas, stated Mr Prout, who has had considerable experience in establishment and operation of playgrounds. The point that the more facilities a city offers for its children to enjoy sports, the greater is the decrease in juvenile delinquency, is brought out in Mr Prouts letter.

The dispensary fees are low to meet this financial condition. Dr Charles M.

The dental clinic will also be avail-able for patients attending the health clinio for a physical examination. DEFIANT WITNESSES HALT SLUSH INQUIRY Insull and Moore Refuse All Faqts at Chicago Illinois Investigation Gets Start, Hears Rival Senate Candidates CHICAGO, July 26 (A. Launching its long-heralded investigation In-td the Illinois Senatorial primary, the Senate Campaign Funds Committee today struck several snags. After testifying he had contributed $125,000 to the candidacy of Col Frank L.

Smith, Republican nominee and chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission, and $15,000 to the successful Democratic candidacy of George E. Brennan, Samuel Insull, Chicago Public Utilities executive, declined, pending conference with counsel, to say whether he had given financial aid to the Crowe-Barrett political organization in, Chicago, which supported Smith. Moore Conceals Gifts -'Previously Allen Moore of Monti-cello, 111, campaign manager for Col Smith and Republican national committeeman, had declined to say who, beside himself and Insull, were the chief contributors to the Smith campaign fund. He himself spent about $75,000 in Smith's interests, he said. Insull was excused uhtii tomorrow so that he might confer with his attorney, while Moore was given until Wednesday to produce his private memoranda, kept in cipher, and other papers bearing upon the campaign.

Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, the committee chairman, directed Moore before his reappearance to confer with Col Smith and ascertain whether he wants to assume responsibility of refusal to disclose fully the names of contributors and the purposes for which money was paid. Cost Set at The Republican National Committeeman told the. committee the total sum "employed in the Smith campaign was $253,547.51 and presented a statement showing the purposes for which the money was spent. Moore said he kept no books and that the totals which he furnished the investigators were made up by an examination of his check stubs. Insull, who described him as a public utilities executive and incidentally a farmer, testified that besides the $125,000 which he gave to the Smith organization, he spent $34,734.85 during the primary campaign early this year I in propaganda among the foreign language groups and the negroes opposing American entrance into the World Court.

Smith and Brennan Heard Beside hearing Insull and Moore, the committee examined at two sessions today Col Smith, George E. Brennan, Democratic Senate nominee and National Committeeman for Illinois, and Chester A. Willoughby, secretary to Senator William B. McKinley, who was defeated for renomination. More than a half dozen other witnesses are under subpena.

Smith professed virtually no knowledge of the financing of his campaign, and referred the committee to Mr Moore for answer to most of its questions about his organization. He said he could name none of his committee except Moore and that he personally had given $5000 to his campaign fund. The committee declined to listen to a statement which Smith asked to read when he was called to the stand, but after his questioning had been concluded he was permitted to read it. Before he had gone far, however. Chairman Reed stopped him as Smith launched Into an attack on Senator Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas, who some weeks ago repeated to the Senate charges that more than $2,000,000 had been spent In behalf of Col Smith.

Brennan Gifts $18,000 Occupying the stand only a brief time, Brennan submitted a list of expenditures on his behalf which showed a total of $18,000. Of this amount Insull gave $15,000, Brennan said, while all except $500 was contributed by a small group of Chicago lawyers. Others offered money, Brennan said, but I told them I havent any fight; I am stealing your money," But it toojj, a little money to conduct even a Democratic campaign, didnt it? I furnished it myself, he remarked, with the help of these gentlemen, indicating the list of contributors. $55,000 For McKinley A start on the Inquiry into expenditures on behalf of Senator McKinley was made with the examination of Willoughby, who testified he spent THEYRE you can dltjoy them MORtilNG NOONand, see page 11 i i- i.
