The convention will begin with, a banquet at the Southern Hotel fette tonight at 6:30 o'clock, at Which the honor guests will in clude Admiral F. C. Billard. com mandant of the Coast Guard, and O. M. Maxam. chief of the divi alon of operations. Commander J. A. Price, superintendent of the Seventh District, will be toast master. Admiral Biilard and Mr. Max Am arrived by train from Wash ington shortly after noon today, and were entertained at dinner at the home of Dr. and Mrs. H. D. Walker. Both were expect ed to deliver addresses at the ban quet tonight. Virtually all the station keep ers In the Coast Guard service from the Virginia Beach station, northernmost in the district, to Charleston. South Carolina, had assembled here during the day. They are to bold a business meet-j ing at the Chamber of Commerce1 tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, at I which they expect to form an as-| fcoclatfon with the idea of meet * Ing each year to discuss their | needs and problems. Conspicuous among the Const1 Guardsmen who arrived this morning was Captain John Allen Mhdgett, keeper of th6 station at Rodanthe, at the northern tip of the Ilatteras Banks. Captain Mldgett and his crew won recog-J nltion from the King of England by the rescue of the crew of the British tanker Mlrlo. torpedoed by a German submarine off the Banks In 1918. The rescued pea men were drifting about In a ver itable sea of blatlng oil when Captain Mldgett's men reached them, and the rescue was herald ed far and wide as the ou'stand-, Ing exploit 4n American waters i during the World War. Captain j Mldgett and his Coast Guardsmen received individual medals from | King George V, and the station 1 was awarded a handsome silver! cup. The Coast Guard cutter Pam lico was expected to arrive hero from New Bern during the after-, non, bringing adftttlonal station keepers to attend the banquet and! ^organization meeting. ^ P&hoonek aground AND CAPTAIN ALONE Wilmington.

Br A San Francisco, Dec. 16. ?? Among the Christmas trees which will be decorated wlih sparkling tinsel and bright electric candles' and about which religious ser vices will be held this year will be one ? in Calfornia ? which will not have to be . removed from church or home Ixi preparation for the arrival of the new year. In fact this particular ever green will have to be utilized in its natural out-of-doors setting. bh it could hardly be removed to the protection of any existing roof. It is the famous General Grant sequoia, located In the national forest of the same name, some 50 miles from Sanger, in the San Joaquin Valley. Plans are now well under way for thousands of persons from Central and North ern California to attend a relig ious celebration Christmas night about the trunk of this monarch of the forest. Fir?t plans were for this to be the nation's Christmas tree, and the National Government coop erated to the extent of building an all-winter road into the park for use this Christmas. Then ar rangements were made for broad casting the services from the fast nenH of the Sierras over a power radio station. Now it is to be a world Christmas tree, with per haps millions of people over a wide radius attending the servi ces by radio. The tree is worthy of the hon or. Though It is not the largest nor the oldest living king In the world. It is among leaders in both classifications. It was named in 1867 for General Grant and a few years a 6.000 acres national forest wan set aside primarily for the protection of the one tree. Having grown up at the foot of Mount Whitney, the highest peak In the United States, it too as pired to great height. It ha* done fairly well and Is now estimated | to be 262 feet tall, supported by a trunk which is 106 feet In cir cumference at the base. It has survived the fallen monarch, close by. through whose hollow trunk i five persons can walk abreast, and has kept ahead of Its rival In the name redwood forest, the Robert K. Lee which Is 265 feet high. Perhaps what Inspired the gen eral grant tree's admirers to want to make of it a world Christina* tree |* its exlreme age. Although It Is still young In spirit, still as piring to greater height, It Is es timated by science that the tree i was old when Christianity was in | Its infancy. It had put two thou I sand years or growth behind it [when the three wise men of the i Kast followed the star of Rethle ! hem to the Manager where the j Christ-child lay on that first Christmas morning. Prominent leaders of California are interested in the movement to dediclte the gigantic Redwood an nually to the celebration of Christ mas. The governor-elect of the state Is expected to be present at the celebration this year to give the big Christmas tree state rec ognition and a message from President Coolldge is expected to .lend a national note to the ser ! vice.

EAST SIDE IS INTERESTED IN COUNT'S CASE Strange Streak in Human Nature Makett Folks Want the Adventurer l<? Win His Case . ?? . < HE'S WISE GUY He (lan't Be Deported unci Seem* Bound to Oarry off Some of the Standard Oil Wealth By ROBERT T. SMALL I >21. ky T*m Atf*?nrt) New York. Dec. 15. - All of I New York is Impatiently awaiting I the d* tail* of the settlement the Standard Oil I!og?Ts family In about to make with the noble bun* ; band of Millirent Rogers, Count j Salm Von lloogstraeten. Every factory girl of the teaming east | aide in Interested in this latest |antash-up of international mar riage relations for every factory j Kirl read with a thrill the roman Itic story of how "Milly" Rogers 1 barked by Standard Oil millions. ? captured the heart of the dashing i count in Europe and instated up 1 on marryinc him whether her parenta would have it or no. Ev ery factqry girl has dreamed of ? such a romance in her own life, but no factory girl will ever cap : lure the heart of a real count. I Count 8 do not like the atmoa i phere of the East Side. ! Even the famous bogus Count 1 Serdechence. alleged Emir oi , Kurdentan, later recognized as an I Austrian pants presser. preferred I the swagger side of Fifth Avenue ! when he was In our midst several | years ago. And he remained very much in our midst until finally ! the secret service men of the State Department got on hta trail and he left more or less suddenly for parts unknown. This wan not. however, until the count had been a rather welcome gue*t at the White House during the Harding administration. The oovat nev ertheless, failed to get honorable mention in the ? - (iinMt novel which in suposed to relate to the days of '21 and '22 In the national capital. The New York factory girls I were Just settling down to the en , joyment of all the details of the i Count Salm-Rogem family feud and had had a taste of some of I "Mllly's" love letters when all of j a sudden the trial was halted. It j has been halted now for several days and there Is no Indication that it will be resumed. The only details lacking concern the size Of the settlement which has been offered the count to drop his ac tion and depart In peace. There is a very general feeling at the moment that the count has the upper hand and that neither he nor his attorneys will think of accepting the paltry half million which Is supposed to have been the basis of the first offer. The count with a mind to event ualities. saved all the love letters | written to him by his former bride i and the mother of his only son. The count knew that Colonel 11. H. Rogers was not the 'best friend he had in tho world and was con vinced that aooner or later he would be in legal difficulties with his Standard Oil relatlons-ln-law. That "in-law" had a rather omi nous sound, and things turned out just as he anticipated. Every effort Is being made at the moment to take the case out of the hands of the law. There seems to be a very general desire on the part of the father and mother-in-law that the letters shall not be made a public record. Many of them were written after Mllly was Induced to leave the Count and go to Palm Reach for a gay season under Southern suns. These letters, because of their en dearing terms, would form the groundwork of a very fine suit at law for the alienation of a wife's affections. It is rather difficult at the mo ment to read the sympathy of New Yorkers in the present case. On the street, among those from whom Juries are selected, there is a very generally expressed hope that the count will "get some thing." Most ef the people seem to think he Is entitled fo more than half a million. A million might natisfy the public demand lit la hard to say. Rut In any event there Is little likelihood of a Jury of commoners ever fixing the amount of "damages" suffered by the poor hut deserving count, '.who is anxlotiH to go to work at 'anything which doea not Include labor. Even th* work of a bond salesmsn is a little too strenuou* for the count. And. In any event, he wants to wait and ae? what will happen In his present and contem plated ?ults before accepting any thing that even emackl of work Lawn tennl*? Yea. Oolf?

Con- j gress 1* anxious to know about it-| The Republican leader* have come | in the conclusion that the people | would just as soon apply the ex- 1 luting surplus to the retirement of' the public debt. The Democratic : leaders think otherwise. So au I old rule Is to be invoked whereby signatures oil a peilliou from a majority of the members of the' House will be sought ho that the House have the choice of stand ing by Mr. Coolidge or their own, leaders. The Detnocruts are con fident that -'Hi Republicans eau be found to support Mr. Coolidge. for it is that part of the program which they will attempt first to present to the House amending It later to take care of permanent i changes In the tax rates. As matters stand now. the Re publican leaders fearing a geuer- j al revision of the tax rates are re fusing to adopt President C'ool Idge's suggestion for a tax credit because that would rurnlsh an op portunity for debating the whole subject. The Republican leaders have It In their power to kill all tax bills In the House committee and uuder the Federal constitu tion. of course, revenue legisla tion cannot originate in the Sen ate. Thus a small group of lead ers eau prevent lax legislation of any kind. If they have the sup port of public opinion, they will not change their course. The Democrats think public opinion favors a change, particularly lu ttulomubfte, umusenitnt and cor poration taxes as well as rates on small Incomes. If the matters ev er came to a vote each member of Congress would be In the position of deciding the question himself. The leaders foresaw such ambar rassment and decided to kill tax proposals In committee. The pe tition which Is to be circulated will be sent lo every member of the House und a negative vote will be recorded Just as effective ly as If the matter were placed be fore the House of Representatives Itself. Republican aspirants in the primaries of two years hence will have a chance to use the nega tive vote of present Incumbents on the stump. Telegrams from bunlnes* institutions and individ uals back home may possibly af feet the decision of members who are literally puxxled us to how to vote. The Democrats figure It out that even If the petition does not get a majority they will have caimed enough trouble to Individ ual Republicans so that political advantages may accrue to their party. The charge of the minor ity is that the Republicans know revision is possible but merely wish to postpone It till early In 1928 so It will come closer to the fall campaign. The awkwardness -of the sit uation is Illustrated by the fact that the President has In his mes sage asked for pasxage of a tax credit proposal and his party Is In the position at the moment of de nying that request. This con tention. however. Is answered by Republican leaders who say Mr. Coolldge urged the tax credit idea half-heartedly and that he said he would be satisfied with the deci sion of membrfft of Congress. Ho it Is Impossible to forecast the turn that the tax controversy will take except that the determ ination of the Democrats to use ev ery parliamentary maneuver to compel revision Is growing more pronounced every day. and th" Democrats when In the minority have at tlm"s shown themselves In recent y??ars more resourceful than their opponents In handling tax legislation. lit III W, HKKVK K.
