MRS. COOLIDGE BUYS MOURNING APPAREL WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Accompanied by ladies of the senate Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, first lady of the land, went shopping today. Not for frills nor furbelows, but for things of somber black—veils and crepes and a simple little black dress, a new black hat, black kid gloves and pumps, tiny black bordered handkerchiefs and band of wide black creepe for the sleeve of her husband's coat. "We're in mourning." Mrs. Coolidge told her callers. "Wearing black is only an exterior sign of grief and falls to express the real anguish I feel for Mrs. Harding. Still it is the accepted and visible symbol of bereavement and I shall wear it until the funeral is over." The new first lady, as benefits a woman in mourning, is remaining in practical seclusion in her suite at the New Willard Hotel. With her is Mrs. Frank P. Stearns, wife of the Boston millionaire, and Miss Mary Randolph of Virginia. Miss Randolph is an old friend of Mrs. Coolidge's and since she happened to be in Washington at the time the Coolidges arrived, she has tried to offer assistance. Within ten minutes she was established in one of the offices of their suite, her fingers on the keys of a typewriter and a pile of unopened mail at her side. She has been working all day and almost all night ever since, acknowledging congratulations, writing notes, sending thank-yous for gifts and flowers, answering telegrams and doing all the hundred and one things that have to be done. Mrs. Coolidge's living room at the New Willard is literally banked with flowers. All thus the corridors the air is heavy with the scent of roses and lilies. Probably no woman ever held a warmer place in the nation's heart than the little new first lady. There is nothing reserved nor frozen about her. Never was there a more kindly nor gracious lady. She possesses that rare attribute of making friends at a glance. The press of the land has pronounced her a "regular fellow." The senatorial ladies call her a thoroughbred, and Americans from coast to coast have taken her to their hearts. PLEADS GUILTY TO CHARGE OF MURDER LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6.—Casting aside his actions of insanity, J. W. Allen, allah Forest Mingle, charged with the murder of Nicholas Dabellich, wealthy Oakland cafe owner, pleaded guilty today before Judge Reeve and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Allen's sane appearance in court today was a direct contrast to his other court appearances when he sought to save himself from conviction of the cafe owner's slaying. Dabellich was said to have been killed for a large diamond he wore. Allen was previously tried but a jury failed to agree. W. R. Krise, Allen's brother-in-law was tried with him and his retrial is set for August 14. FOREST FIRES IN SAN BERDOO MTS. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6.—Hundreds of fire fighters were rushed to the scene of the rapidly spreading forest fires in the Sisquoe country near Santa Barbara and in the western part of San Bernardino mountains, where flames were reported sweeping the country, beyond control. In the San Bernardino mountain fire more than 100 fire fighters were sent to the scene from nearby communities. After a stiff battle they checked the advance of the flames from the north fork of Lytle Creek, near Glenn Ranch, and up the divide between North Fork and Lone Pine Canyon. Hundreds of additional fire fighters were rushed to the Sisquoe fire which has been burning for several days. The Sisquoe fighters face an almost hopeless task against the blaze now nearing the divide at the head of the Santa Ynez watershed. The fire is reported as roaring thru a brush covered section which had grown unchecked for years. The best the fire fighters can do is to control the side lines of the fire which may burn itself out at the headwaters of the Sisquoe river; it is said...

S.—ON AUGUST 15th WE ASK CONGRESS TO RELIEVE PRESIDENT I. N. S. Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Congress will be asked to safeguard the lives of future presidents by lightening their burdens of executive duties, which are blamed for the death of one president and the invaliding of another within the short space of four years, administration leaders declared today. Declarating existing presidential duties are suse to as to compel him to follow a "killing pace" from the moment he enters the White House, friends of the late President hope to obtain congressional authorization for the delegation of his minor powers to his cabinet officers. They contend the overburden of minor cares brought on the fatal collapse of President Harding and the near fatal breakdown of President Wilson. Secretary of the Navy Edwin Denby, close personal friend of the late President Harding, announced today that he would lead the movement. "Congress must do something to relieve the president of duties which make him a super-clerk" Denby told International News Service. "There is no question but that these duties forced President Harding to overwork and brought on his lamented death." "Our statutes which require the president to be weighted down with clerical duties should be repealed. Congress should specially authorize him to designate certain of his subordinates to perform these duties." WILSON AT FUNERAL WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Former President Woodrow Wilson will actively participate in the Harding state funeral service here on Wednesday afternoon, it was officially announced. The former president formally accepted the invitation extended him by President Coolidge to ride in the state funeral procession. It will be Mr. Wilson's first public appearance since the day the "unknown soldier" was buried and the third since he left the White House. THOUSANDS SILENTLY HONOR FUNERAL TRAIN (Continued from Page 1) ful as the long black train rushed by with its heavy load of national grief. Sometimes the train stoppee, sometimes it scarcely slackened speed but whether it halted or not there was at every station and cross-roads the same silent, bareheaded, reverential throng. Usually there was a color guard, the brightness of the flag dimmed by the unwonted streamers of black crope. Even in the green corn-fields the farmers halted their work and their teams to come to the fence to stand, hats in hand and thus mutely express their sorrow at the untimely passing of him who little more than a month discarded his silk hat and his presidential dignity that he might mingle detractively with them in the fields and learn at first hand their problems. From Omaha early this morning the funeral train swept into Iowa and settled down for a day's run which by nightfall will bring it within the borders of President Harding's home state, Ohio, and less than 24 hours distant from the national capital. A stop of 15 minutes was made at Omaha in order to change engines and move the train from the Union Pacific to the Northwestern lines over which the run to Chicago will be made. Chicago will be reached shortly after 2 o'clock this afternoon and there the train will be switched around the outskirts of the city to the Baltimore and Ohio system for the final run to Washington. Mrs. Harding is slowly and methodically gathering strength for the trying ordeal that awaits her in the capital and at Marion where the president's remains will be interred on Friday. No more difficult week ever confronted any woman. Realizing this, she is spending most of her time in bed obtaining as much rest as is possible against the time when she will stand sorely in need of all her strength and taut nerves. She has at least convinced even the skeptical doctors that she will be able to withstand the strain of the two Ohio presidents which is frequently commented upon by those aboard the funeral train. Each had served his state in Columbus and in congress before going to the White House. Each was known for his sane conservatism and kindly human qualities during his term of office. Even in their domestic lives the parallel extends, Mrs. McKinley's health was, after a severe illness, very precarious and her husband was ever solicitous of her physical well-being even as President Harding was so tenderly watchful of Mrs. Harding ever since her severe illness a year ago and yet despite her illness Mrs. McKinley survived her husband even as now Mrs. Harding, despite her illness, has survived him who was looked upon but a month ago as a picture of health and vigor.

HARDING'S DEATH AFFECTS OPINION ON REPARATIONS LONDON, Aug. 6.—Today was a legal holiday in England and reparations discussions by the government have been discontinued for the time being. It is evident that the death of President Harding has influenced official opinion and the movement toward a neutral reparations agreement with Germany has slackened. The Anglo-French deadlock continues and Great Britain will take no formal steps until the cabinet meeting Wednesday. Advices from Paris said the government is anxious to "continue the friendly reparations discussions with Great Britain." WOMAN WILL SIGN PRESIDENT'S NAME WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—In his second official capacity as president of the republic, Calvin Coolidge today delegated to a government clerk the power of signing his name to his official papers. The clerk, a middle-aged woman, Mrs. Viola B. Pugh, was authorized to sign the president's name to all land grants as her sole duty in the general land office of the interior department. Mrs. Pugh will sign the president's name from 100 to 400 times every work day. She held that same authorization from President Harding. HASN'T DECIDED ON EXTRA SESSION WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—President Coolidge has an open mind on the necessity of calling an extra session of congress, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, declared today following a half hour conference with the president. Gompers declared the president has not yet decided to accede to or reject demands from agricultural interests for an extra session. BOOZE BANDITS GET 850 GALS.

The presence of Rawson brought the same conjectures. There was a growing impression around the temporary "White House", of imending changes in the cabinet. Rumors were bandied about that Butler will succeed Attorney General Daugherty and that Secretary of State Hughes would resign with the selection of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Mass., as his successor. On the whole, it was apparent at least that Massachusetts will be firmly entrenched in the new administration. H. T.
