KEEPS COLONEL'S PAY.
Maj. Ridley Loses Rank, But Not
Salary.

An act of Congress is necessary to
entitle an officer to receive higher
pay than that of his permanent rank,
according to a decision of w. w. War
wick, controller of the Treasury, in
the case of Maj. c. S. Ridley superin-
tendent Of public buildings and
grounds in the District of Columbia
The controller ruled that as the law
reads that the superintendent shall
have the rank pay and emolument
of a colonel" Maj. Ridley was entitled
to receive colonel's pay, even though
he wears only gold leaf on his
shoulder. According to the controllers
decision such a case can occur only
when the pay of an officer on certain
duty is fixed by law, as is the case
with instructors at West Point. All
other officers come under the provi-
sion Of the new Army reorganization
act, which states that Thereafter no
detail, rating or assignment of an
officer shall carry advanced rank"

COOLIDGE BESIEGED WITH
 CALLERS AND CONGRATULATIONS

Boston, June 13.-The plans of Cover nor Coolidge, republican vice presidential nominee, to go to Amherst for the open ing of the commencement week of his alma mater, and then to his home in Northampton. were changed today upon receipt of a telegram from the Massachu- setts delegates saying they would arrive here tomorrow afternoon and parade to the statehouse. The governor decided to remain in Boston to receive them, after which he will journey to his home.
 Governor Coolidge as he was greeted by newspaper. men this morning, made a whimsical complaint of a statement pub lished in a local newspaper that he paid $35 a month rent for his half-house in Northampton, whereas he actually pays s32. He said that if the landlord should happen to see the story the rent might be raised to correspond, and this, the gover- nor declared, he did not want to happen.
 During the day the governor was be- sieged with callers who came to extend their congratulations on his nomination. His secretary, Henry F. Long. continually brought him telegrams from a host of friends and prominent republicans.
 William H. Taft in his message to the nominee said:
 T congratulate you most heartily and
