time however the (Chicago Cotton ex-
change has come into existence and its
attitude on the question has not been
stated.
The grand jury indicted about sixty
brokeis on charges of violating the

CHICAGO III. Dec. 4.—President

| today that ne ther business nor na-
tions can live to themselves alone. He
paid tribute to Father Marquette and
his companions who 250 years ago be-
gan to erect the first huts for white
men on Ihe site of what Is now Chicago.
“Of the men who laid the foundations of
our country he (Marquette) deserves

1 Coolidge said. “You people of the Chi-
I cago empire have built Into the solid
I stiucture of accomplishments the things
which he. a quarter of a millenium ago
saw with the clearness and faith of
prophesy.
“Wherever I th'nk of your wonder-
ful Chicago I. think of it first as the
great market place to which the world
resorts to buy and sell its foods. It |
is because the genius of your commerce i
and the industry of the people who live
in these central valleys have erected here
a vast exchange to whicft the nations
have come in their lean years to traffic
for the food stuffs which you have
gathered together for them that you
are first known to fame. And thinking
of these things my mind has gone back
to that most appealing of all the ro-
ment; to the story of Joseph and the
famine of the seven lean years in Egypt
which followed the seven fat years. You

years of plenty and after them the

Alleged Rum-Runners
(By The Associated Press.)
BOSTON Mass. Dec. 4.—The office
of United States district attorney in
Massachusetts was vacant today for
what was said to be the first time since
• tp establishment as the result of the
removal from office of Robert O. Harris
yesterday by the order of President
Coolidge. No announcement ha* been
made of the appointment of a successor.
The brief order of dismissal reading
“you are removed from office to take
effect at the close of business today
December 3" was brought to Attorney
Harris by assistant attorney General
Sylvester Rush.
Attorney General Stone would make
no comment on the case yesterday be-
yond that the removal was “for the
good of the service.” Mr. Harris also
refused to comment saying merely he
would resume private practice.
November 25 Mr. Harris received an
order from Attorney General Stone
halting proceedings against defend-
ants in a rum running conspiracy case.
This was understood to indicate dis-
satisfaction with the conduct of the
case.
Harris often has been under fire par-
ticulaily from the “dry” forces since
he assumed office in April 1921. Arthur
M. Forgrave superintendent of the anti-
saloon league charged negligence and
easy treatment of liquor offenders by
Mr. Harris. Forgrave was summoned
last May before the grand jury which
in a special report declared that not
only were the charges groundless but
that they made to further the interests
of persons active in the league.

UNIQUE BILL BEFORE
VANISH PARLIAMENT
fBy The Associated Press.)
COPENHAGEN Dec. 4.—A bill
which would authorize doctors un-
der certain conditions to take the
life of a patient without incurring
punishment has been introduced
in the Danish parliament by Min-
ister of Justice Steincke.
■war (world) brought the nations to
your agricultural markets and you pro-
vided them with food. Some of the re-
sults were not immediately pleasant
for the Hebrew race and some of the
results of the *ar have not been
pleasant for the farmer.
"But out of the Egyptian experience
of Israel came the opportunity for its
great service in world leadership. It
was in those years that Moses came
into the world and the Hebrew nation
v s prospered for the profound teach-
ing and the great message that it was
to bestow upon all mankind. And my
faith is firm in the conviction that if
we w.U but realize it these years of
trial and distress for the American
farmer will represent only a time of
preparation for this opportunity to se-
cure that recognition of his importance
that need for economic quality which
will enable him to render a supreme
service to himself and to his fellow
men.
“All the trials of depression which
the farmer has suffered will not haye
betn in vain. If as was the case with
Israel they are able to contribute to
the world a new thought a new im-
pjulse. a new ideal I recognize the
necessity if we are' to better the lot
of men. of large productivity and mate-
rial prosperity. But we can not think
in terms of that alone. We cannot
suppose that we are to be benefitted by
gnat production unless the men and
women who furnish it are themselves
benefitted by it. We cannot neglect
the human element in our affairs. All
