BOSTON, Jan. 6-Calvin Coolidge was a plain citizen tonight the first time in years He went to the family fireside at Northampton for rest from affairs of state before becoming vice president.

Cox, his successor the key of the executive chamber, the Butler Bible and the arrowhead and flint that signify the duty of keeping faith with the states vanishing Indian charges. Then without official escort he left the executive chambers by a side door while in the main entry the inaugural procession of Governor Cox began to form. Citizen Coolidge found friends awaiting him below and with them he walked out of the state house while the band blared a hail to the new chief.
 After luncheon with friends the vice president elect set out for home. Al the station he had to edge the way for Mrs. Coolidge through crowd anc then seek a seat. They rode in day coach, the man reading newspaper and the woman knitting sock 1 Governor Cox, in his inaugural ad- 1 dress. recalled the Ponzi quick rtci scheme in urging protection of smal l investors as one of the most urgen EprobIems before the commonwealth. H declared worthless or fraudulent SC curities amounting to at least sS,oOo i oo0 are sold annually in Massachusetts

New President Has Real Job Deciding
 Cabinet Personnel

MARION. Jan. 6--Conclusive infor- nation about cabinet preferences of Presidept-elect Harding still is lacking and as'the days go by without definite development. the number of those men tioned for appointment in speculation here is increasing rather than mar rowing.
 Two weeks ago there were many in dications that the announcement of at least two selections was imminent. Those who had talked with Mir. Hard ing generally were agreed that Charles Evans Hughes of New York was up- permost in his mind for secretary of state and that Charles c. Dawes of Chicago had the inside track for sec retary of the treasury. There was equal unanimity fin the prediction that these selections tand possibly that of Henry Wallace of Iowa for secretary of agriculture would be made tnown early this year.
 Since then the cabinet question has been under daily consideration by the president elect and he had heard the advice of some of his ablest party lead CTS but without apparent result.
 IL is understood for one thing that fhe president-elect is finding it diff ficult to settle on definite choices foi some of the cabinet places. The prob lem of fitting the cabinet pegs into their proper holes is one which he has found himself compelled to consider more or less as a whole. if he is to b' certain that the pattern comes oul right

IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-Herbert Hoover's administration of food relief enterprises in Europe was criticized and praised in the senate today dur ing debate resulting from charges of Senator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, that MT. Hoover had used a portion of Americas relief appropriations for the maintenance of the Polish army.
 Senators Hitchcock. Democrat, of Nebraska, and Kellogg, Republican, of Minnesota, defended Mir. Hoover. while Senator Reed renewed his criticism.
 MT. Hoover should be given credit for Ian accomplishment whose mag nitude the world wonders at," Senator Hitchcock declared in presenting mat ter to show that no American relief supplies had been turned over to the Polish army. American army officers, he said, were vigilant in their efforts to keep the supplies for civilian use.
 Senator Reed declared it did not mat ter whether the supplies went to the civilians or to the army.
 They were given to her for bol- stering her up and enable her to carry on her war;" he declared, indicating he would speak later and present fur ther facts regarding relief funds.
 Senator Reed also criticized Amer ican policies. which he said had pre- Vented reopening of American com merce with Russia and Germany.

 BY YDEPARTMENT \ OF WAR SHOWN
 DURING PROBE
Paid More Than ST a Ton For Coal Through Agent When Fuel Was To Be Had At $4.70 the Ton
TRepubIIcan A. ?. Leased WlreI


 WASHINGTON. Jan. 6-The senate committee inquiring into the high cost of coal last year, was informed today tiBt while the bureau of mines was buying coal at S4.70 a ton, through an arrangement with the National Coal association, which required no fees, the war department was buying coal at more than S7 a ton through Colonel 10. B. Wentz. president of the associa- ton. on a commission basis.
 Made s3t GOO in Commissions
 The statement concerning the ar rangement of the bureau of mines was made by Chairman Calder of New York. when Colonel Wentz was tesu- flying as to his services for the war department during last years short age. The latter said he had purchased and delivered to the department 10000 tons of coal at slightly above s7 a ton for which he had received commissions aggregating S31 .000. His contract, he added. would have allowed him to pur- chase 275.00O tons and earn additional commissions of S101,000. but he had refused to do so because Of the falling market.
 Senator Edge. Republican of New Jersey. told the witness his conduct had been very fair to the government, must better than your contract re- quired.''
 Senator Kenyon, Republican of Iowa brought up specific items in Colonel Wentz' sales schedule. under which. on Sept. 25 and 27. seven cars were sold by the Watkins Coal company, Penn sylvania. to the war department for Ss.25 per ton. That company reported 10 the coal association, he said its September mining costs were S3.25 a ton.
 What became of this six dollars nrofit?" Senator Kenyon demanded Who got it? Isn't 1t. in your opinion more than a fair profit?'
 Colonel Wentz answered that his re- sponsibility ended in getting the coa at the market price. but said the profit indicated was more than I should al- low at mines under my control"
 T realize it's not your business, but it might be the attorney generals Senator Kenyon retorted.
 Colonel Wentz denied in reply to ( question by Chairman Calder, that tho coal association directors had dis cussed prices at meeungsg'
 You hold the theory that the coa' business is a private concern witt which congress and the public has nc concern" Senator Kenyon asked. "bui don't you think that the lack of coal with high prices. is a factor in malx. ing QiSCOntentl
 Yes. but not more so than with food clothing. other industries of the kind. Colonel Wentz said, flor which m policy of regulation is being advanced.
 Colonel Wentz said there was a req shortage of coal during 1920 because O the coal strike and transportation diff ficulties
 You know there is the charge tha coal operators and miners union Of ficials combined to bring about strike and cause a shortage?" asked Senate Kenyon. q have heard that and know it's impossible" was the reply.
 Well. you know that some of you members and labor union leaders ar indicted under the Lever law on ex actly that charger" Senator Kenyo pursued
 Yes. and I know it's foolish" M Wentz retorted.
