CAPITAL EYES VISIT TO CAL BY LAWYER Gossips See Trip of Ex-Secretary as Presidential Gesture. By Scripps-Hotcard Kewspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Political observers were interested here today in the forthcoming visit of C. Bascom Slemp to New England where he plans to visit with Calvin Coolidge. Slemp, now a Washington attorney, was the ex-President’s secretary for a number of years, and is a power in Republican politics. He has said that he intended to visit the Coolidges before he went back to Paris to attend to his duties as commissioner-general from the United States to the French colonial exposition. He denied that there is any political significance to his proposed trip to the Coolidge home. The proposal to “draft” Coolidge to run again in 1932 is often discussed by politicians here.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” which appeared in Wednesday’s Times: The Shortest and Tallest Soldiers—When Edward T. Allen, now of Bridgeport, Conn., enlisted at Ft. H. G. Wright, New York, he was dubbed the “army’s smallest,” because of his 4 feet 11 inches height and 90 pounds weight. At the same time his pal, Ransom Cowan, who stood 7 feet 2 inches and weighed 275 pounds, enlisted in the same company, and was known as the “army’s tallest.” They also were together in the band at the fort, Allen playing the French horn, being led by Cowan, who was drum major. # Bobby Gene Scott Can Play 227 Selections on the Harmonica— Although only four years of age, Bobby Gene Scott of El Reno, Okla., has mastered the harmonica in the short period of one year, and now can play 227 selections skillfully—both classical and popular numbers. Bobby’s harmonica is an instrument of the “old school,” having been handed down to him by his father, who was Bobby’s only teacher.

GRAIN FUTURES SELL DUWN ON LIGHTSUPPORT Weakness at Liverpool Is Unfavorable Factor in Wheat. BY HAROLD E. RAIN'VILLE United Pre*s Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—Failure of Liverpool to respond to the sharp advance here Wednesday brought in scattered selling as the Board of Trade opened today and prices dropped a sharp fraction. The short interest was practically eliminated Wednesday and supplied a scant cushion for the drop and general buying support was small. More favorable weather in Europe and large Russian shipments caused the weakness abroad. Com was off with wheat. Oats reacted with the major grains. Liverpool Loses Gains At the opening wheat was to Vt cent lower; corn was U to %. cent off. and oats were H to % cents down. Provisions were firm. Liverpool was not as strong as expected and by mid-afternoon had lost its small gain to stand lower to %c higher. Sentiment turned to a more hopeful outlook on the future in wheat Wednesday. It was more difficult to buy than sell and the trade believes the market has been thoroughly liquidated by tired holders. It is believed that the short interest is small. Great interest centers on the intentions to plant report due after the close find should it show a reduction of 15 to 20 per cent it would be considered bullish. Cash Demand Good There is a more friendly feeling toward corn. This market has been affected by foreign affairs the same as wheat but hog prices have advanced somewhat and the cash demand is good. Some sections received showers overnight but no general rains were reported. The weather is very warm in Kansas. Oats strengthened with the other grains. The northwest is beginning to draw oats from lowa showing the smallness of the crop in the Dakotas and Minnesota. Less than 10 per cent of the oats received at Chicago has been of sufficient weight to grade No. 2 white, indicating the -inferior quality of the crop. Chicago Grain Range WHEAT— —Aug * 27 ~ Prey _ .
