NOMINATION is ACCEPTED

Boston, Mass. - Governor Calvin
Coolidge, when notified that he had
been nominated by the Republican Ma
tional Convention at Chicago for the
Vice Presidency, Authorized the state
ment that he would accept the nomi-
nation.
In his rooms this evening Goveror
Coolidge had followed the balloting
with keen interest, and upon the an
nouncement of the nomination of Sen
ator Warren G. Harding for the Presi-
dency he Immediately sent to the Ohio
Senator a telegram Of congratulation.
He had left the hotel for stroll when
he was recalled with the word that his
name had been placed before the con-
vention for the Vice Presidency. Over
a telephone line from the Boston Office
of the Associated Press he received
the vote of the states and the flash"
of his nomination. He indicated his
acceptance, and then announced the
news to Mrs. Coolidge and the others
of their party.

Search On For MISSING Man,

New YOrk.-A search by wire for a
man who has left the city, and for a
woman whose lingerie was found in
the house of murder, and for the hid
den assets of Joseph Bovine Eiwell,
now occupy the authorities burdened
with the mystery of who shot this dig
nitary of race track and card table.
The man the police would like to ques-
ton closed his pretentiOus residence
prior to the killing of Elwell, 2nd his
Office in a Broadway building denies
knowledge of him now. The lingerie
was pink silk kimOna that detectives
found in an oblong pastebOard box in
Elwell's bedroom. An appraisal Of the
sportsmans assets, whose wealth fluc-
tuated with his luck, will settle the i'm
pOrtance of will which his estranged
wife declares she will contest in her
sons behalf, because it leaves every
thing to Elwell's parents.

Thousands of Employees To Be Retired

Neutrality-suspicious. 1000 and
5000 Federal employees eligible for re-
tirement on pensions will be formally
notified within a week of the auto
matte termination, on August 20, of
their active service with the Govern
ment. The recently enacted retire
ment act provides that retirement
must take place 80 days from it's sig
nature and that employees coming I'M
der the statute must be notified 60
days in advance. The retirement age
is 70 for clerical workers and 65 for
mechanics. 1t is estimated that in the
District of Columbia alone LOGO Gov
eminent employees will be retired for
age. Secretary John B. Payne and
Postmaster A. S. Burleson announced
that no applicants for reinstatement
of employees in their departments
would be approved.

Wire Owner Is Quoted BY BurIeson.

ashington.-Albert S. Burleson,
Postmaster General of the United
States, issued a statement declaring
that "in the light Of the truth" the
arrangement of the postal authorities"
by the Republican platform adopted
at Chicago falls harmless at their
feet" Replying to the declaration made
in the platform that the Wilson admin
istration destroyed 'the efficiency of
the telephone and telegraph service
when controlled by the Government"
he quotes from statements of the late
Theodore n. VAIL former President
Of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph. Company; President NewcODlb
Carlton, of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, and others, to show
that the wire properties were Admin
istered successfully by the Government
and returned in good condition.

traders sold. Added to this was sur
prise and not a little disappointment
in view of the increased possibilities
of a third party. Official Wall street,
however, expressed itself well salts
fed with the choice. Men who know
Harding were comparing him with
former President Mckinley, and were
sanguine that in event of his election
he will surround himself with brainy
men just as Mckinley did. In Coolidge
all acknowledge he has the strongest
sort Of a running mate. 1t is believed
that his chances will depend to no
small extent on the character of the
man nominated by the Democrats,
and that was probably the reason why
leading spectators were inclined to
wait the naming of the Democratic
nominee before starting a bull again
in stocks.
The market sagged throughout the
session and l or points were Topped
off the most representative stocks,
while speculative specialties, like
Mexican Petroleum, Studebaker and
Baldwin, lost more. AS a group the
steels, equipments, motors, public
utilities, Doheny, oils, feathers, rub
bers textiles, food stocks, papers and
shipping shares generally lost consid-
erably, while metals, sugars, fertil-
izers and investment issues, as a rule,
made fractional recessions. The in
dustrial average lost 1.45 points, to
91.7j.
Rails continued reactiOnary, and in
some cases duplicated recent lows or
sold still lower. Short sellers picked
discriminatory among the dividend
payers to find out which one might be
likely to follow Northwestern lead
and reduce dividends. Delaware and |
Hudson, because of its 8 per cent rate,
was sold freely toward the close of
the session, and at S63s was 3 points
below the February low, which was
till then the low of the year
