CONGRESS “Forecast” of President’* Speech Sent Out Before Official Release BY WILLIAM P. FLYTHE Universal Service Correspondent i Washington, Dec. 3.—President Coolidge's future message to con* gress and official utterances will be^ most guarded and secret until he actually begins to talk, the White House let it be known Sunday. This is the result of a situation that gives promise to developing into a scandal, in no way reflecting upon the president, but upon those in whom he reposed confidence. On Thanksgiving day, November 29, the president’s message to con gress, delivered on December 6, was distributed in booklet form to be held for publication until he should begin to speak to the joiht session of congress. A reason for doing this was that it could be sent to news paper offices by mail and save tele graph tolls ns well'as congestion of the wires. “Forecast” Sent Out The following day the leading brokerage houses In Washington sent out over their ticker tapes what was “said by experts to be a forecast of what the president would say." It was not only absolutely accurate, but private telegrams assured investors It was copied from the text. Tile next day, November 30, and not when the president went before congress, the stock market reacted very ma terially , This was noted particularly in the railroad securities. This, however, is just the begin ning, the White House indicates. The message was distributed liberally to persona who are politically oppfVea to the president. One reason why his message is said to have caused so little excitement In congress Is that there were few men on the floor Who had not been acquainted witn its context, or read it In full. Thai portion of It was expected to excite applause merely brought forth a knowing nod between members as one who would observe, ‘“I told you so.” Newspapers Not Blamed The newspapers kept the faith, the White House la sure, but there is another element about which there is not so much certainty. It is the financial journals, the representa tives of various industries and stock markets whose publications are read on stock markets or in exclusive circles of the stock speculator. Representatives of these interests, unlike dally newspapers, seeking the hones purpose of distributing the news, obtained copies at the same time. They went, of course, into the hands of persons most vitally Inter ested in what the president would say and more directly Into the hands of market manipulators, the White House let it be known. The White House Itself was unduly liberal, reposing confidence In those who called upon the president. But among those were several persons or high industrial status, who, although denying having talked over matters of importance with the president, were seen to have one of the coveted booklets in their hand or pocket. The president. It Is learned, wished to discuss with many of his callers the provisions In his wlrtten word and obtain their reactions, a result that could only be obtained after "mature consideration,” which re quired the possession of the docu> ment.

LAUNCH FIGHT ON CUMMINS Democrats Will Attempt to Force Election of Presi dent Pro Tem Universal Service Washington, Dec. 9.—The fight of the democrats to test the right of Senator Cummins, Iowa, to continue as president pro tem of the senate and at the same time retain the chairmanship of the important In terstate Commerce committee is due to break Monday. Senator Robinson, democratic floor - leader, is expected to move, when the senate reconvenes at noon, that the body proceed to the election of a president pro tem. Senator' Lodge, republican, it is lhdicated, will im meditely move to lay the Robinson motion on the table. A vote on this motion will be the first test of strength. The democrats cannot hope to force an election unless they have the sup port of the two farmer-labor senators. Magnus Johnson and Shipstead, and enough of the LaFoyette group of in surgent republicans to override the regular republican majority. Whatever the outcome, however, the democrats by this move will have forced the republicans to establish a precedent to govern future situations like that now existing. It will settle the right of the president pro tem not only to succeed to the presiding of fice of the senate upon the advance ment of a vice president to the presi dency, or In case of the death of a vice president, but will settle the Question of his right to the $12,009 vice presidential salary and use of the vice presidential automobile and his authority to designate a presiding of ficer of the senate in his absence. The democrats contend that without an election at this time the president pro tem Is without authority to des ignate any one to sit in his place. The democrats also will force a decision on the president pro terns to serve as a committee chairman or hold a committee, assignment while serving as the president of the senate FINDING OF BODIES - ENDS NATIONWIDE SEARCH FOR COUPLE Universal Service.

BUTLER IS PERFECTING ORGANIZATION George Harvey to Have \ctive Management of Race for President Universal Service Washington. Dec. 9.—President Coolidge’s candidacy for the presi dential nomination .was formally launched Sunday afternoon. The announcement was made In the form of an official statement from Coolldge managers that William M. Butler, national committeeman front, Massachusetts, will be the president’^ “personal representative" and will ap point assistants In other states. Preceding the announcement, there was a conference at the White House In which Mr. Butler, Frank W. Stearns, George Harvey and James B Reynolds, who was Coolldge’s man ager in 1920, participated. While the public was barred from the conference, It is understood that the president's friends succeeded in convincing him that he should not delay longer In announcing himself as a candidate for the nomination. Brief Announcement. The only announcement made was In a brief typewritten statement, which was given out by Reynolds. It was as follows: “In answer to a question, Frank W. Stearns stated that the friends of President Coolldge are organizing under the guidance , of William M. Butler, tho Massachusetts member of the national comniitteo and a friend of Mr. Coolidge of many years stand ing, who will act as tho president's personal representative. "As ho perfects the organization he will, from time to time, make known those who, in various parts of tho country, who will co-operate with him In the organization.” It is understood that white the president will have Mr. Butler as his personal representative in the cam paign, the active management will be entrusted to George Harvey, President Silent. It was characteristic of the presi dent that he refrained from making any personal comment on the confer ence. The president has maintained from the start that he would trust the selection of the nominee entirely to his friends, that he would not "cam paign” for the place, nor make speeches in support of his own can didacy. It was In accordance with this understanding that ho permitted Reynolds to speak for him In making the formal announcement that he Is in the race. Ever since Senator Johnson an nounced his candidacy, supporter* of the president have been urging him to come out with a statement that would show he Intends to seek the nomination and at the same time give sonic encouragement to those who would like to get Into the fight for him. Platform Announced. The president refused steadfastly to discuss the matter at all until his message to congress had been deliver ed. When the South Dakota proposal convention gave him an endorsement for tho nomination White House statements indicated that the presi dent was pleased with the endorse ment and would make an announce ment not only accepting It, but giving notice to the country at large that he Is in the race for the nominalon. The message delivered by the presi dent to congress last Thursday is generally regarded as the platform of policies upon which he will stand in his campaign. Ratification of the World Court proposal, adoption of the Mellon tax reduction plan and defeat of the soldier bonus were the principal issues adopted by the presi dent In the message. Senator Johnson will make his cam paign ol' opposition to the country on the Issue of rejection of the World Court, adoption of the bonus and tax reduction. Iowa and S.

The world's largest sandstone quar ries are located in Ohio, u few miles to the south of Lake Erie, in the vi cinity of the towns of North Amherst and Berea. From these quarries come also vast quantities of whetstones and grindstones and there is much that is of interest with respect to the industry. One of the quarries has been mined to a depth of 105 feet in places and the distance around It is a mile and a half Looking Jnlo this pit from one edge, one is reminded of the ruins of the Coliseum, for the walls are cut in shallow terraces, which are not unlike the seats of the open-air theater of the ancients. In cutting a block of standalone wedges are driven in sideways at the base of the block, while steam drills bore holes from the top to meet the openings made by the wedges. A machine called a clutn neler cuts the block away. You may not get nil that is coining to you in tlds world- but look out for tlve next.

Why Physicians Favor Lubrication Medical science, through knowledge of the intesti nal tract gained by X-ray observation, has found at last in lubrieatbn a means of overcoming constipa tion.
