I[1r. Coolidge Has No 8-Hour Day
Finances He Considers
the Greatest Problem
of the Administration

of the world have their representatives
here. The officers o. the government
have their homes hc,e and live here
practically all the time. Probably the
most interesting people In the world
are gathered in Washington. 1t makes
delightful society"
The Vice-Presidcnt admitted that he
is almost the champion long distance
diner-out. But the dinners he attends
here have ta least ona great advantage
over dinners he attended in Massachu-
setts and elsewhere, while he was Gov
ernor OF the state. He can talk sitting
down. he does not have to arise and
deliver an address every time he puts
on spiked coat. This, he said, was a
great relief.
Shower of Invitations
From All Parts of Nation
Incidentally one of tho most difficult
tasks the Vice President has to- day is
| saying mo" TO the invitations show
cred upon him from every quarter Of
the country to deliver speeches. A
Congressman from New York State
came into the e~President's Office
on this very errand while I was there.
The Vice-President expressed his great
appreciation at the honor done him,
but firmly declined. He said he had
work here in WashinRton and he
couldn't see his way to leaving the
Capitol just now, but expressed the
hope he would have an opportunity to
visit the city in question later.
One reason the e-president hest
tates to accept invitation to make pub
lie addresses is that he feels he has
, to be guarded In what he says.
II intend 30 support the Administra-
tion," he said. very frankly. "If in
discussing r. public question upon
which the Administration had not yet
reached determination took a
| definite position it might be at vari-
ance with the decision finally reached" :"
While the Viee-President freely con-
fessed to the charm of the National
Capital, he said that he still has a
hankering for Massachusetts, at times
For one hing, he has no opportunity to
get out of doors.
How can II" he said, with smile,
referring to his we'll filled days. But
he added that he was going to remedy
this condition, that his medical adviser
had insisted he shocld do So He said
he was seriously considering the ad-
visibility of taking up golf, that safety
valve upon which public men in Wash
ington, frcm President Harding down,
rely to give them necessary relaxation
and exercise in the open. Once upon
time the Vice-President played golf
he said, but he gave it up when he mar
ried. But ne kept up his walking while
he was Governor Every evening when
he left the state house he would do his
three miles at fast clip. Hhere he
has no time, so far, for that kind of
thing
Mr.. Coolidge is e great reader
perhaps 1t would be more correct to
say he has been a great reader, for
he has little more time to devote to
reading now than he has to exercise.
But he is planning to get back to it
soon. He and Mrs. Coolidge are going
to call halt, for one thing, upon din
ing QUE.

the week-and they have averaged ac-
tua'ly five out of seven days in each
week since they have been in Wash

The Vice-President is accessible
Notwithstanding the demands upon his
time. He receives the visitors who
come to his Office at the Capitol with
out formality and with friendly
smile. The forenoon he puts in at
his suite in the Senate office building,
the huge marble structure erected for
the convenience of the Senator's, Just
across from the Senate wing of the
Capitol. The Vice President, who also
is President of the Senate, has suite
allotted to him in this building and
also an office in the Capitol itself.

SCHOOLS OPEN

The city schools opened last week on
Tuesday The enrolment in the high
school for the year is sol as against
7tl for the opening last year. The
classes from first year to fourth last
year were, 2j2, lsI lGi, 1875 This
year the classes are 27s, 2Ii, 1873 and
ll9, showing increases in each class
except the third, or Junior year where
the decrease of II is not easily nc
counted for There were 1S7 sopho-
morcs last year and the class has
shrunk to 1873
Every grade in the city is over
crowded and the erection of new
temporary barracks to house the stu
dents is imperative Over a hundred
high school freshmen are taken care of
at the junior high school.
In this situation it is hard to under
stand the mental processes Of citi-
zen, not to mention a public official
who will oppose the financing Of school
building projects.

WRECK RIVAL TAXI

Three or four weeks ago George Peik
had his taxi at the lake front ferry slip
looking for fares one evening While
away from the ear for while some
one cut his tires, filled the tank with
sugar and put emery dust in the cyl
inders, all to his actual damage of
Sl35.O7, which repairs cost him.
1t seems that Peik had been cutting
prices and he was able to make a fairly
good guess as to who would have the
animus to thus iniure him but on short
notice he couldn't prove it. The police
finally had enough information to ar
rest Max Stack and James Roubel, two
other taxi drivers who had been at
tempting to keep prices up. Roubel
came through with the story in court
last Friday, but Stack denied all com
plicity until confronted with RoubePS
confession and then he too saw the jig
was up and admitted to the deSpicable
trick. They admitted it was done to
get even with Peik for holding out in
the. rate war
Judge Schmidt gave them a severe
rcprimand and imposed on each a
maximum penalty for malicious de
struction of property, six months at
hard labor.

RIVER CROSSINGS BLOCKED

The citys new bascule bridge at
Tenth street seized the occasion of the
Eighth street bridge being out Of com
mission for repairs to make It's first
balk On Sunday afternoon with the
streets black with motor cars the
bridge went out of commission tempo
rarily, a substitute tender had at
tempted to lower the north leaf with
the brake set. We are informed that
a ''pinion slipped and that is as far as
we shall attempt any technical expla-
nation of the trouble. The fact is that
the bridge wouldn't work and the big
leaves had to be operated by hand, a
process that takes ten men an hour
and a half. During all this time there
was no way to cross the river down
town and Eighth street was barred
even to pedestrians by big coal
steamer stuck in the draw. Some au-
tomohiists anxious to get to the bah
game negotiated the new route over
the up-riyer bridge and the nearly
completed yiaduct. A detour through
sand is there necessary but it is short.
The hascule was back in working
condition Monday, hut it was certainly
some motor jam while it lasted.

COMPLETING NEW HIGHWAY

The concrete laying on the new east
and west section of Route II connect
ing the Shoto road with the Lake
Shore road near the Lindstedt farm
was completed last week and work was
started Immediately on the concreting
of the short link between the city linn
its at Eighth and Pine streets and the
west terminus of the new road. This
work will he rushed and now in few
weeks the long delayed concrete high
way from Manitowoc to Two Rivers
will be completed.
Automobile drivers will no longer
have to crawl over the single track at
the mouth of the Little Manitowoc
river at imminent risk of life and
limb. The new route will be fine
speed way and the only reasonable
fault that can be found is that it was
not built on the shorter route along
Tie beautiful lake shore for the first
mile or two. The new road has been
built by Young Brothers, contractors

MANDL TRIO CLEAR OUT

Harry Mandl, proprietor Of the AT
cade Billiard hall on North Eighth
street sold out his place to Tsopels x
Adraktis. The latter took pains to see
that all was regular and gave the re
ouired notice to all creditors and at the
expiration of the statutory time gave
Mandl a big check 1t is reported that
as soon as Mandl deposited the check
at bank the proceeds were attached
and Mandl was left holding the bag.
Mandrs two brothers at Two Rivers
also sold out and all three disappeared
at about the same time. 1t is also re-
norfed that the wives of the Two
Rivers pair of Mandls did not know
that their husbands were going and do
not know their destination. The Man
dis had operated restaurant and ice
cream parlor at Two Rivers called the
Royal
II was further rumorcd that several
local creditors who did not take adj
vantage of the legal notice of con
lemplaIcd transfer of the Arcade are
hard hit. Harry probably couldn't pay
bcm if he had intended to do So, aft
er the proceeds of the sale were
pounced upon by a big out of town

MISSING GIRL WRITES HOME

Seven years ago Clara Biebert2, a
young saleswOman at the O. Torrson
store disappeared She left no word
for her family. The usual search was
made and as time past her parents des-
paired of ever hearing from her or of
her. Last Thursday they received a
letter from her from her home at
Muskegon, Mich, She stated that she
had eloped with and married Charles
Yenz and has son six years old. She
offered no explanation of her long
silence but stated her intention of visit
ing the family soon. 1t is probable that
she feared the displeaSure of her par
ents at the manner of her going.
4 week ago she by chance met on
the street at Muskegon a former neigh
Dor here who told her of the anxiety of
unexplained absence had caused and of
the long search for tidings of her and
She at once wrote home. She sent a
photograph of herself and son. The
family are planning a happy reunion
for the near future.

OFFICIALS IN JOINT BANQUET

Forty officials of Mantowoc and
Two Rivers sat down at a chicken din
ner at Jachimstals at Shoto last
Thursday evening Mayor Georgenson
of Manitowoc presided and reports are
that there were exactly forty speeches.
If heroic measures were not employed
on some of our aldermen the auditors
would be there yet.
The spread was first class and there
were broad intimations that there was
some of the convivialty of the days
before the war, but it must be an in
famous slander to even suggest that
any public official of these two law
abiding municipalities would so far
forget the decorum of his position and
the honor of his city as to encourage
the commission of an act forbidden by
the constitution of the United States
and diverse and sundry federal and
state statutes. What would Mr.. Vol
stead and Mr. Coleman think of him?
No, we don't believe it. Anyway they
all said they had good time and it
must be true as they staid there until
long way toward morning.

COUNTY SCHOOL BIDS REJECTED

The special committee of the county
board on the county training school
for teachers new building opened bids
at the courthouse last Friday. The low
bidder on the general contract was the
Lakeshore Construction company Of
ShcbOygan with a proposal of St6,800.
The highest was Thomas SpOrer of this
city with SG7,2S7. These bids did not
include heating wiring and plumbing.
The heating bids ranged from Sl4,-
OG2 to Ss,575, the low bidder being the
Miller company of Milwaukee.
The three wiring bids were Sl,025,
1886 and $3.50, the Schmitz Electric
company being lowest
The plumbing bids we're: $1,000,
Sl,375 and St,26s, the Patterson com
pany being lowest
The committee met again and went
over the figures. The lowest combina-
ton of bids was S5G,762 and this was
S3,7G2 above the maximum of $4,000
set by the county board at the recent
special Session.
The committee rejected all bids and

CHILD TO MOTHER ON WRIT

A daughter of Mrs. Lizzie Kluezin-
ske has been living nearly all of her
fourteen years with the mothers fam
lily on the Boeckman farm about two
miles south of the city The grand
mother who had been appointed guard
ian of the child died some months ago
and the mother who lives in the city
wanted the child to come and live with
her. She claimed that her brother,
Carl Bocckman, would not give her the
custody of the child and last week her
attorney, G, A. Forrest, resorted to
writ of habeas corpus to get posses
sion. The matter was heard before
court commissioner Harry f. Kelley
Tuesday and the Boeckmans made no
claim to any right to the custody Of
the child as against the mother other
than that the child has been with them
for years This was deemed to be a
futile argument against parental rights
and an order was entered giving the
mother custody.
II was said that all the tenants of
large office building heard family af-
fairs discussed with amazing frankness
and considerable length and some
phases of the English language ex-
changed that are not current in polite
society.
