stones.
Mystery surrounds fhe disappear

this morning. Mr. Fischer said, and
put in the diamond room, a glass par
titioned division Of his store about
eight feet long and four and one-half
feet wide. Joe Fish, nephew of the
proprietor, who took the Diamonds
and emeralds from the safe about
$3.50 this morning. recalls placing
them in the steel tray in a cabinet in

PRESIDENT PUTS BAN ON CALLERS

President Coolidge has set aside two

see no one except on strictly official

upon which the President meets with
his cabinet-are the days decided
upon. According to c. Bascom Slemp,
his secretary. handshakers and those
callers who want audiences to tell the
President how much they think of

Several weeks ago Mr.. Slenp con-
vinced Mr.. Coolidge that he should
not make afternoon engagements.
AS a result, the President has since
been able to devote the hours after
luncheon until dark to close and uf-
interrupted application to the duties
of his Office. Frequently he has
found 1t possible to refresh himself
by taking an automobile ride for an
hour or two.
