The Adianm Washington, Auk. 15. ? The radio and the lengthy text *nay give one an impression of what President Coolidge said in accepting tlie nomination for the Presidency Thursday night but it \vas~an event which onbuilje JewJiutidrcd peo ple \vho~ actually witnessed it can accurately describe. For tilt- scene was unique and the rvremony itself whol ly unlike anything in political eanipaiMis of the past. In fact, there waa a constant ?trurolt- to rhanse It from the al most formal social function that ** w*a to a rlp-rcaring political meeting but II failed. The one lone cheer-leader who decorated iiliiiHcIf with a bis ci)Hfgt*-b?Ui?n and rose to hit* f?<t frequently nnd. waving his arms, frantically tried to coax tho audience into demonstrations, was often the only itfiMon on hi* feet. This was no si>;n of lack of ap preciation for President Coolidge. * ?r the audience stood for sev eral minute* arid Clapped.hands at the opening and interrupt ed Uh> ai?'ech frequently with tho same kind of applause. Dut it was a dignified assemblage. it did not hoot and yell and stamp Its feet and cheer to the point of hoarse ness. Practically the whole first floor was fi||,d wjfh Federal office ImlderH and their friends and they ?^IliIWi ? li i I r n??il..lMjnur)| 1 resident. Hut the atmosphere of political Catherines was not there. It was simply a Washington func tion to which most of the dlgnl tarles and their wives came in automobiles. Outside on the curb, where the amplifiers carried the President's voice, there was more of the scene that usually charac terizes political meetings. _ There had - been suggestions that the President should have held hirt notification ceremony at the foot of Washington monu ment In tho open air where 25, 000 people might have heard him. There probably would have been JUtle deed then for cheer-leader* ?*s the crowds ? would have re sponded to tin? President's appeal for "common sense government" which is to be the slogan of his campaign. As it was. only a rel atively Hniall handful of people were able to get the true inspira tion of the President's speech. As for the i >arty workers, there were not so many of them either. The whole thing was treated a* one of a series of Presidential addressee and there lias been more en thusiasm in the receptions given Mr. Coolidge by audiences lie has addressed here in the past. The whole, however, is charac teristic of the Coolidge campaign. It Is not to be a boisterous af -CftiL Mr. Coolidge himself U a quiet-spoken TTniWaTrcrl -who Hpeaks in a monotone and depends rather on the words he utters than the method by which they are delivered. He discards elo cution and relies on a careful study of his speeches. He feels that at best a political speaker addresses only a small part of the electorate. The radio and the press reaches the greatest num ber of voters. Comment on the speech on the part of those who heard It was' uniformly favorable, it contnlned no surprises. It was an evolution or Coolidge doctrine along the line* pf previous sneeetw That ? exactly Mr. Cooing?-! UIUMIKIIT In the opinion of hla friend*.

Cupprrxinilh Fa tally Injured When Hit l?y Auto, Buried at Snlciu Church Ometcry. Eye witnesses uppcar to exlion orate Frank Dance, negro driver of the Ford touring cur which struck and fatally Injured John E. Coppersmith. Salem township resident well known throughout the County. In front of Stanley's store at Old Weekaville Thursday night, of any criminal negligence in the matter. A car which Mr. Coppersmith was waiting to take to his home two miles away was parked with the engine running and headed towards Slmonda Creek when the accident occur red. It is believed that Mr. Cop persmith must have stepped out ? rur ln^pvdiately in front of the ear driven Ey Dance too late for the driver to stop before striking him. The funeral Is set to take place at Salem Baptist Church Sunday afternoon at half past two o'clock and to bo conducted by Rev. E. F. Sawyer. Mr. Coppersmith is sur vived by three brothers and one sister. The brothers nre W. It. Coppersmith and E. Coppersmith of Nixtonton tow.-, ship, Pasquo tank County, and W. O. Copper smith of Littleton. E. Copper smith was in Washington when the accident occurred, but Is ex pected home lit time for the fun eral. The sister is Mrs. W. C. Morse of Weksvllle. ?Nobody saw the car actually strike Mr. Coppersmith, but Steve Brothers, who lives about a mile from Stanley's store on the Slinonds Creek road, -had Just stepped on the porch of the store when the car passed. He heard the car and turned to see Mr. Coppersmith clutching the right fender, his feet apparently under the axle, and his head Just below the level of the hood and between hood and fender, and In articulately crying out as If in pain or for help. An Instant later Mr. Coppersmith dropped to the hard road and the car passed on by or over him, stoppng Just tfs thf TPTrr fender was about eveu with his body. Immediately before tho accident occurred, according to Mr. Broth ers, Mr. Coppersmith had been standing out In the middle of the road looking up and down It. which was rather a habit with him. Alfred Sawyer, who liven on tho old Coppersmith place in Salem, two miles from Stanley's store, and with whom Mr. Cop persmith made his home, had Just cranked his car and had got Into It ready to start and take Mr. Coppersmith home. Mr. Copper smith must have stopped out from hnhlnri ? Liui car, into the road an the automobllo which hit him. driven by Henry Dance, col ored. and coming from the direc tion of Slmond's Creek, was al most upon him. Eyewitnesses say that the negro was not driving fast and this Is borne out by the fact that Mr. Coppersmith, a frail man of small stature, was not knocked off the road' by the blow but was able to catch the fender and for a second or two hold himself above It. It Is borne ont further by tho fact that after striking Mr. Coppersmith as the car came abreast of the first post of Stanley's store, the auto mobile stopped Just beyond the gas station on the other side of the store, a distance of hardly more than 20 paces from where Mr. Coppersmith was first rtruck. Henry Dsnce, too. had some excuse to be In a hurry. His wife was sick and he wss going for help. Mr. Coppersmith Is believed to havo died from a hemorrhage of the brain, nrought on by the concussion when he fell back ward from the car on the hard dirt road. Only two minor bruises were found on his body, one on the right knee and one on the right elbow. Dance, the driver, does not be lieve that the car passed over Mr. Coppersmith at all. Mr. Brothers, who saw Mr. Copper smith lose his hold and fall, could not see very well In the darkness but thinks that the Car may have passed only over elbow or knee or both, or possibly one wheel may have passed from his knee up hla leg and lower body FKA.NCK DESISTS FROM DEMANDS m?

Two additional boats now under construction will be plnced In operation within m short tlm". Extensive Improve ments hIho will bo made to the Duluth docks to facilitate hand ling of this traffic. Ford recently offered to buy tho dock, now in tho hands of re reivers, outright for ffi&O.OOO but |Ll(t , Mm J HI I IIHII nients are completed, however, by which he secures tho use of the property for a rental of $70,000 a year. Within the last few year*. Ford has acquired a coal acreage In Kentucky of tremendous prodnc-' lion possibilities. For some time, ho has sold coal and coko to hit own employes In Detroit at lew than tho doaler* prices, being in un advantageous position through transporting of coal from hit own mines over hln own railroad. The new plan for tho Northwest there* fore, would seem to mark as-ev en greater expansion of activities. The operation of vessels to carry automobile parts alone to the head of the lakes for trana-ehip niont to various Western assem bling plants by rail scarcely would be profitable, but. with his vesaela carrying coal up and ore down, , the handling of Ford parta at loatt pnrt way by water seems likely to be seriously considered. The movement of coal over the Groat Lakes has already suffered recessions this uenson. Kstlmntea based on shipments to upper lake ports from Cleveland and "ther Lake Krle harbors so far thle year.

M.OM.W tona carried In 1923. i The Iron ore movement on the lukos also has taken a decided drop this season, and now la scarcely expected to reach 45.000, 000 tons, as compared with a to tal of 69.noo.ooo tons laat year. This Is due in sonm part to re cession of activity at the Iron end st?el plants but It also hat been affected by the coal situation. JVessIs have be*n unable to op erate at a profit unlesa thay could secure full coal cargoet up tho lakes and carry ore down.
