Presidents Of the United States
who hailed from Ohio. When to
this Is added the beginning on
the Pacific coast Of tho break
down Of President Wilson, the
Pacific coast is singularly linked
with tragedies in the lives Of
three Presidents.
The other President with whose

connected was William Mckinley,
Of Ohio.
In 1901 President Mckinley ac-
cepted an invitation to attend the
launching Of the battleship "Ohio,"
at the Union Iron Works, In San
Francisco. Henry Scott, at that
time prominent In the affairs Of
San Francisco. was president OF The
Union Iron Works and q warm
friend Of the martyred President.

President Coolidge Is
Third Sworn In
Outside D. E..

President Coolidge, in taking
his oath of office outside the city
of Washington, followed a prece.
dent established by Vice PresI-
dent Chester A. Arthur in 1881
and repeated by Theodore Roose-
welt in 1901, records revealed
here today. Arthur took his
oath Of office in New York city,
following the death Of President
Garfield In nearby New Jersey,
while Roosevelt was sworn in at
Buffalo where President McKin-
ley had died.
Two other Presidents--the
first two-George Washington
and John Adams. were the only
other chief executives to be
inaugurated outside Washington.
Both were elected before this
city became the Capital Of the
nation, Washington taking his
first oath in New York city and
his second in Independence Hall,
Philadelphia. Adams was also
inaugurated in Philadelphia.
President Coolidge undoubted-
