Flustered Rapid City Waits for President

BY JACK FOSTER r— —| APID CITY, S. D., June 15.—“1 am Victor Jepsen, mayor of Rapid ID City. We welcome you to the pines and Black Hills.” With these I * I very words, Lindy-like in their brevity, the chief official of this city will greet President Coolidge when he arrives for his vacation at 5:30 this afternoon. And the hundreds who have trickled in here from the hills and rolling plains will watch Calvin Coolidge shake hands with the twentytwo on the reception committee, step into his dark blue limousine, ride slowly down Main St., under a roof of flags, and out to the game lodge thirty-two miles south. There will be no formality. Jepsen will come from his office in his business clothes, bow to the President and step back. And immediately the President will be whisked away to “the needles” and Harney peak and the elk which chew grass in the field opposite his sleeping porch. For a week the city administration and the Commercial Club have been hurrying and scurrying about to complete arrangements. Police Chief Owen has been drilling his men tirelessly in the problem of traffic. Parking on Main St. will be prohibited from noon until an hour after the President arrives. And for an hour before his scheduled appearance, not an 'feuto will be allowed on the avenue. State Sheriff Fred Minier is here with his cohorts to take charge of the procession as it leaves the city limits. National guardsmen will patrol the streets. A squadron of airplanes will join the train a few miles down the track and zoom above it into town. And all Rapid City is in a whirl and tumble of emotions.

FIGHT MOVE TO HALT ELECTION Attorneys Attack Petition to Stop Manager Vote. Defending the right of citizens to elect what form of government they shall live under, Attorney Clinton H. Givan today attacked the petition of James R. Collier, 415 E. Fiftieth St., for an injunction to prohibit the city manager election, June 21., Arguments before Superior Judge Linn D. Hay were to be completed late this afternoon. Collier ■alleged that the law under which the election was called was unconstitutional and that the machinery for the election is illegal, because election commissioners were named before Mayor Duvall signed the ordinance calling the election. Givan cited many decisions supporting the constitutionality of the law and argued that the election commissioners were named legally because the ordinance became effective upon its passage by city council. He rapped Collier for sitting quiet “for weeks, doing nothing until the ever of the election,” and then seeking an injunction He declared Collier has “no equity” in the election and no right to seek an injunction. Louis Ewbank, attorney for Collier, argued that the chief objection to the election was “expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars of public money.” Arrangements were being completed today for the final mass meeting Saturday night at Cadle Tabernacle, when John W. Esterline, Republican, and Meredith Nicholson, Democrat, and Mrs. Jack Goodman will discuss merits of the proposed form. BUS HEARING ROW SEEN Large Riders’ Delegation Expected at Circle Case.

RULES ‘GHIROS’ CAN ADVERTISE Drugless Healers Win Fight by Gilliom’s Decision. Efforts of the Indiana State Board of Medical Registration and Examination to prevent chiropractors and other drugless healers from advertising were thwarted today by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom. The decision was given in response to a request from Dr. E. M. Shanklin, Hammond, board president. A paragraph in the application blanks sent out to chiropractors and others required to register with the board under the 1927 medical injunction law, was’pointed out. It reads: “I pledge my honor that I am not and will mot become an advertising doctor in Indiana, if under this application for a certificate is granted me.” Gilliom ruled that this be stricken out. It long has been the custom of chiropractors to advertise and there is nothing in the law which will forbid them from doing so. he asserted. Where a doctor is u graduate in more than one branch of drugless heal.ng, he may be licensed in each of them, Gilliom ruled upon another request. Dr. Cecil VanTilburg has been added to the board as a chiropractic member. OPERATOR’S ‘THANK YOU’ SPEEDS PHONE SERVICE Reason for Change Told to Illinois Commission.

Stephensons petition for release from Indiana State Prison on a writ of habeas corpus. The Stephenson plea was refused in Laporte Circuit Court and an appeal to the Supreme Court taken. Attorneys Robert W. Moore, Michigan City; John L. Kiplinger, Rushville and Lloyd Hill, Indianapolis, represented the ex-Klan chief, serving a life term for murder of Miss Madge Oberholtzer, Indianapolis. The writ of habeas corpus Is asked on the grounds that the Marion County clerk did not sign the transcript when the Stephenson case was venued to Hamilton County Circuit Court, in which he was found guilty. His sentence therefore was illegal and he should be returned to Marion County to face trial on the murder indictment, it is alleged.

Bu United Press NEW YORK, June 15.—Another carefree twenty-four hours was ahead of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh today. Enough time was permitted between four appearances from noon till midnight to fly to Washington and back if he wants to bring his beloved plane, the Spirit of St. Louis, to New York. Unlike yesterday, when rain and wind twice prevented him from leaving in an army plane for Wash- ■ ington, the weather today seemed favorable for a flight if he hasn't changed his plans. He may wait until late Thursday or Friday before going for his plane, and then fly direct from Washington to St. I Louis. “Home Towners” Call j The first visitors at the apart- , ment this morning was a party from I Little Falls. Minn., riding in an au* tomobile named The Spirit of Little ; Falls. They had driven from Little Falls for the welcoming ceremonies for their most distinguished fellow citizen. The first messenger to arrive brought a huge basket of red roses, with American and Italian flags. Lindbergh today pleaded before a joint luncheon of the State Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants' Association for development of commercial air service and adequate military and naval air forces in the United States. In one of the longest speeches he has made since he became a world celebrity—it lasted nearly twenty minutes—L ( ndbergh compared the development of commercial aviation in this country and in Europe. He confessed he was embarrassed in Europe when he was asked whether America had any airports to compare with those at Le Bourget, Paris and Croydon. London. Three thousand guests at the luncheon cheered and applauded for more than a minute when Lindbergh was Introduced, and duplicated the demonstration when he said, “The air corps will never take the place of the Army or the Navy, but both the Army and the Navy must have adequate air forces.” Will Attend ’Benefits At 8 tonight he will appear for a short while at a benefit, boxing match at the Polo Grounds. An hour later he will make a late appearance at Flo Ziegfeld's new show house to see “Rio Rita” and at mid- j night he will attend a movie performance at the Roxy Theater for the benefit of the mothers of the missing French aviators, Charles Nungresser and Francois Coli. Last night Lindbergh attended a dinner in his honor given by the city of New York at the Hotel Commodore. Four thousand of New York’s most prominent men heard the young airman praise the Army fliers and predict a bright future for commercial aviation in America. The dinner was one of the largest ever held in New York. There was no end of novelty. The speaker’s platform was painted to resemble a monoplane. Lindbergh sat in the cockpit. Governor A1 Smith, Mayor Walker, Charles Evans Hughes, Grover Whalen and other notables ate off the “wings” of the painted plane. After dinner. which was two hours late getting started, the lights were put out and a miniature airplane was flown across the banquet hall while Whalen read the United Press log of the fight amid wild cheering. When Whalen read the United Press dispatch telling of Lindbergh's arrival at Le Bourget airfield the 1 crowd of prominent New Yorkers cheered long and loud and the po- 1 lice band played the “Marseilles.” St. Louis Prepares Bu United Press ST. LOUIS, Mo.. June 15.—St. Louis today continued its preparations for the homecoming of Col., Charles A. Lindbergh. Cognizant of the obligation which rests with the city Lindbergh claims as his home, officials have determined to make the three-day celebration in his honor the greatest fete St. Louis has ever staged.
