Hot Months to Be Spent
on East Seacoast.
WOOD'S HOLE, MASS,, CHOSEN
Part of Executive Offices to
Be Taken Along.
HEALTH IS HELD BETTER
Dr. Grayson Plans Pleasure Trips
on Mayflower "and by A a to.
Crane Estate to Be Csed.
WASHINGTON". March 19. Presi
dent Wilson will spend the summer at
Wood's Hole. Mass., where the sum
mer White House will be established
n the estate of Charles R. Crane,
..Chicago business manj recently ap
pointed minister to China. Arrange
ments are being made for moving
the president and his, family and a
good part of the executive offices for
at least two weeks of June and all
of July and August.
The Crane estate is an extensive
country place, which overlooks Buz
card's Bay and Martha's Vineyard
sound and is close by Martha's Vine
yard, a location which featured in
colonial history.
President Taft and his family spent
their summers at Beverly, Mass., not
far away.
Healta Considered Better.
The decision to take the president
a may for the summer today was in
terpreted at the White House as fur
ther evidence of the continued im
provement !n health which Dr. Gray
son, his physician, has been report
ing. I'p to a few weeks ago it had
been practically decided not to take
the president away for the summer,
because it was felt that he could be
better cared for at' the White House.
The plan to spend the summer on
tSe New England coast. Dr. Grayson
said, meant that the president could
continue motor riding, possibly go on
yachting trips, probably on the May
flower, and might get in a few holes
of golf if his improvement continues
The trip will be by train, the May-
liower going later. .
First Snainert Hot Oae.
Last summer, like his' first in of
fice, the president spent in Wash
ington. Others have been spent in
Cornish. N. H. The first summer,
which was a hot one. Mr. Wilson put
the air-cooling plant in the White
House offices out of commission and
announced that as he was asking con
gress to slay in session during the
dog days he would stay on the job
himself, under the same sultry con
ditions, and he' did so.
He did not return from the peace
conference last year until mid-summer
and he spent the next few weeks
- preparing for his long speaking trip
in the west, from which he retirrned
a very sick man," to use the ex
pression contained in Dr. Graysn's
official bulletin, and with a few oc
casional motor rides of late he has
been confined to the White House
grounds since October.
Grayaoa Accepts Crane's Offer.
Secretary Houston nas a place at
Wood's Hole, near the summer white
bouse, and other beautiful estates
are close by. Dr. Grayson decided to
accept Mr. Crane offer. It was said,
because he wanted the president away
from the oppressive heat of Wash
ington and near the salt water.
Under present arrangements the
president will be in New England
while the democratic national conven
tion is- In session in San Francisco,
although congress, from all indica
tions now, will nominally be in ses
sion, but actually will be transacting
no business, by gentlemen's agree
ment between the leaders. There have
been hints that the president might
reserve the much-expected official
announcement as to whether he wants
a third term for presentation at the
convention, and if that be true, be
probabaly would prepare his letter
at the summer White House.
The usual staff of secretaries,
clerks, stenographers and secret serv
ice men will accompany the president.
Special telephone and telegraph wires
-will be installed, and to all practical
purposes the White House will be in
Wood's Hole after June 1 o.

take the place of that of M. Zahle.

this question as settled In favor o
Germany by the plebiscite. However,
there has been a strong agitation
among opposition parties for at least
the provisional internationalization
of Flcnsburg and the second Schles

ihese parties point out that the
Zahle ministry lacked a mandate to
direct the country's policies, and that
the former premier at the last elec

Subsidization of U. S. Institutions
In Syria Also Regarded as -'
Behind Present Move,
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 23. (By
the Associated Press.) The future of
American schools in Turkey, espe
cially Syria, is causing uneasiness in
American official1 and educational
circles here. The French already have
intimated that one French Instructor
should be placed in each institution.
and In some circles this is regarded
as the first step in a probable move
ment by the ' French for domination
in the schools.
There are about 70, ' American
schools in Syria, over which France
is trying to obtain the mandate. These
represent an investment of. more than
$2,000,000,. subscribed by Americans.
They have more than 10.000 persons
In attendance. The largest school is
Beirut college.
There are American schools, hospi
tals and orphanages at Aleppo, Da
mascus, Alntab, Adana, Marasn ana
many other places in territory which
the French' desire to control. French
schools in Syria virtually all are sub
sidized by the French government.
There also are Americaif schools in
Smyrna," Adalia and other cities in
Anatolia, where the Italians and
Greeks are claiming mandates, bu
these nations, so tar as is known, are
making no effort to supervise them.
American educational Interests are
especially large in Constantinople,
where Robert college and the Con-
tantinople 'women's college are the
leadinsr educational institutions or
Turkey. The total American Invest
ment In charitable and mission prop-
rties in Turkey Is about $6,000,000.

Police Get Harry Call.
Early yesterday morning a tele
phone call reached police headquar
ters from 294 -Sherman street, the
home of Robert and John Lucas, the
latter known as "Zeno." The desk
sergeant was told .that a man was
dangerously 111 at the address given,
with aid asked for his relief.
When Motorcycle Patrolipen Stiles
and Wiles reached the house they
found Fred Love, a bullet wound over
his left hip, weakened and paralyzed.
And Love, as the records attest, is
known far and near to the authorities
as one of the old maestros of the
game of crime, with records In a
sccore of cities and "time" against
him in almost as many penal institutions.
Aeelleat, Love Declare.
'I shot myself by accident," said
Love.
The wound is of such character and
location that the falsity of the state
ment was apparent. Love was treated
at the emergency hospital and taken
without delay to St. Vincent's, physi
clans saying that his case was critl
cal. The bullet has not yet been
probed, but it Is thought that it pen
etrated to the spine, causing the par,
alytlc condition.
Convinced that the ex-convict and
safe-blower had been wounded in a
murderous encounter, Detective Lieu
tenant Maloney and Inspectors Col
Iins and Coleman returned to the Lu
cas home and arrested the two broth
ers on investigation charges. Both
declined to talk and are still uncom

more than SO hotel men of the state
appeared before the state industrial

trial of Joe Laundy, I. W. W. organ
izer, for violation of the criminal syn
dicalism act. will open this morning..
Presentation of evidence by the
prosecution occupied a week. George
F. Vanderveer. counsel for Laundy,
hopes to conclude his esse before til
end ef the week as his presence In
Montesano. Wjsh.. is nerej,ary Sat
urday, in an argument to support a
motion for a new trial for I. W. W.
convicted there of the armistice day
murders at Centralis.
Of the three elements In , the in
dlctmcnt of Laundy, consisting of the
charges that he became a member of,
voluntarily assembled with, and helped
to organize a society advocating vio
lence In attaining Industrial endn,
Judge Belt held that there was suffi
cient evidence to warrant the case be
ing submitted to the Jury on the first
two propositions, but ruled that the
defendant could not have helped to
organize a society already In exist
ence. Law Meld Be realty.
The law was held by the Judge to
be faulty In that it made It a crime
for a person to "become a member of
an organisation traching unlawful
acts, when it was patterned after a
Washington law nnd was Jritended
clearly to cover persons wlio already
were members In this case, the point
has not yet been lalsed. as the state
has produced evidence to how that
Laundy Joined the 1. W. W. April :,
1919. after pastage of the law.
Interpreting tbe phrase, "volun
tarily aejKembllng with," which Van
derveer had argued would have made
It a crime for a student of sociology
to attend a meeting of must violent
radicals, though having no sympathy
with their cause. Judge licit said:
"The mere presence of a man In a
hall where unlawful doctrines are
taught la not sufficient to come un
der tbe range of this art unless he
participated in or Intended to carry
out the teachings of the organisa
tion." Without comment as to tbe
weight of the evidence, he held It
sufficient on this point In connec
tion with Laundy for submission to
the Jury.
During his argument for a directed
verdict, Vanderveer had 22 lawbooks
arrayed on the table before him.
District Attorney Evans and Deputy
District Attorney llrrnard were coo
tent with one lawbook and a dic
tionary. Kieerple Are need.
Most of the closing day for tbe
state was given over to the reading
by Bernard of excerpts from 1. W. W.
literature, throwing light on tbe
aims of the organisation.
There were numerous paaxagee
read which showed the enmity of the
I. W. W. for tho labor unions, an
example of whiah, taken from the
O. B. V. Monthly, was "The real clash
for power In this country Is between
the I. W. W. and the A. F. of L."
Protestations of the defense that
the I. W, W. have nothing in common
1th tbe bosheviki or communist
labor party were met with the asser
tion "The I. W. W. is tbe American
soviet," from the O. H. U. Monthly,
and "The nearest counterpart to tne
L W. W. in the proletarian world
today is Russian bolshe vlsm," from a
pamphlet entitled "Industrial Com
munism." g
Might la Right,' la Mags
Many phrases were read from cop
ies of the O. B. U. (One Rig Union)
Monthly, found In the raid on the
L W. W. hall In Portland to support
the position of the state that the or
ganization advocated overthrow of
the government of tbe L'nlled States
by force and violence. For Instance:
"We are not fogged by Illusions of
right and wrong. We do not bow at
the shrine of tender phrases. Might
is right. Let tts learn the lesson and
organise until we are the mightiest."
"Where sits the general executive
board of the I. W. W there will sit
the government of the United States."
"We want the world, not because
we love justice, but because we love
ourselves."
"Our mission is not only to form
the organization for the basis of the
future producing administration of
the workers, buwalso to arouse the
mass to take necessary action to
break the 'arm of violence' of the
capitalist state and set up In Its place
the dictatorship of the proletariat."
