Those whose Arctic experience on

covered an intermediate body of

In either case, it was pointed out,

Id Arc Arrested.
Boston, May II. (AP) Sixteen
persons were arrested, liquor valued
at between $350,000 and $150,000
was seized hero and In New York
and the existence of a new overland
rum route from Canada to Maine
seaports was learned as a result of
ctivities of federal officers here yes
terday In exposing what are believed
to bo two huge million dollar liquor
rings. The result, it was stated,
will be a federal grand jury investi
gation that will possibly involve 1000
liquor dealers, rum runners and
agents in New England, New York
and Canada.
The latest blow delivered by pro
hibition forces started here with the
seizure of $59,n'o worth of liquor
on the little steamer Van, operated
by the Main Coast and Canada
Steamship Company. The contra
band was packed in boxes bearing
merchandise labels. Fifteen arrests
were made.
Another Seizure.

key, valued at between $300, Omi and
$100,000 was seized in New York on

Safe Is Opened.
Soon after the seizure of tho Van,
two customs agents here opened a
safe In a north end establishment
that yielded them papers and books
containing the nauvs of more than
ring operating at bast three steam
ers, a fleet of sailing vessels and a
flotilla of fast power boats.
The papers, it was said, also dis
elosed a system of signals to liquor
boats telling them how and where
to land their loads. One arrest, was
made and others will follow, it was
said. Tho raid on 1he safe, customs
officials said, resulted from "plant

Doctors Called in Say In
disposition Is Not of
Serious Nature
Washington, May 23. (API
President Coolldge cancelled his en
gagements for today because ot Ill
ness. The president returned to the
White House proper after a short
visit to hla offices, and the White
house physicians uere summoned.
Officials said the Indisposition was
not of a serious character.
Plans were made to issue a atate.
ment after the physicians had made
an examination.
There had been no previous out
ward hlnt'of illness, although it was
Indicated that Mr. Coolidgo had
been feeling the effects of the In
creasingly hot weather of the capi
tal. He went to his office at the usual
hour, but soon afterward told his
secretary he had decided to go back
to the White House and lie down for
a while.
It was said that none of the en
gagements on today's list were re
garded as of any emergency charac
ter and that the. President end his
advisers agreed they could be put
over easily until next week.
Plan3 had been made for the
usual Saturday afternoon cruise
down the Potomac on the yacht
Mayflower. There was no Immedi
ate indication whether that, too,
Mould be abandoned.
In all thre wore but three callers
on the list for today, Saturday usu
ally being a day of few conferences.
Sonor Jose Del Cormen, the do
minican minister called at the White
House to present Senor Don Federi
oo Velasquez, vice president of the
Dominican Republic, but they were
unable to see Mr. Coolidgo. One of
the other cancelled engagements
was with a group of visiting police
chiefs.
Ordinarily Mr. Coolidge's health
has been more robust than is ordin
ary for man of his years. He seare-
ly has missed a day from his desk
because of Ill-ess since ' tit red
the v. hue House. ! or some years,
however, he has aufered slightly
from throat trouble, and has con
sulted specialists periodically on that
account.

Olympla Macrl, 20 year old unwed

of the man she claims to be the
father of her baby ended, may to
day knew whether the state haa
been successful in Ita efforts t6 con
vict her of "murder in the first de
gree wilful and premeditated." A
special session of the Buperior court
has been called for today so that
Judge Christopher I.. Avery may
charge the jury that heard the case
during the past four weeks.
State's Attorney Arnon A. Ailing
closed his argument In rebuttal to
the earlier argument of Defense At
torney Joseph Koletsky, late yester
day afternoon just before time for
adjournment. Judge Avery at the
afternoon recess allowed the jury to
decide for itself whether it would
continue into a night session, hold
a special session today, or adjourn
until next Tueday. The special ses
ion today was chosen.
indications are that the jury will
not require a long period to de
liberate over a verdict. Eleven of
the jurors, It was said, were in favor
of prolonging the sessions yester
day believing they could reach a
verdict last night. In consideration
of the 12th man, it was said today's
session was finally decided upon.
Judge Begins Charge
Judge Avery begsin his charge to j

She had her baby, Lucy and held her
for half an hour. Friends then took
tho baby out of the room. Miss
Macri appeared cheerful and in talk
ing with those about her expressed
her hope that the verdict would be
in her favor. She said that she had
been unable to sleep during the
night. While holding her baby she
smiled, but afterwards lapsed into a
somewhat listless state as If extreme

courtroom was opened every seat
was filled an dofficers were present
to assist in preserving order and also
outside In the corridors of the
building.
Lawyer Confident
Mr. Koletsky said before court
opened, that he was confident that
Miss Maori would be acquitted. He
said he had this confidence because
the jury desired to have remained

work, but decided not to be done as
