Calvin Coolidge is perhaps better

Although vice presidents usually
have no other duties to perform than
that of presiding over the Senate

participate in the cabinet dclibera

His intimate touch with admins
tration affairs sometimes has brought
upon him considerable pressure and
some embarrassment from senator's
and others who sought to obtain
through him information concerning
developments at the White House. or
to have placed before the President
particular views on pending issues
He usually has remained rct.cient UNI

ELYRIA, Ohio, March 9.-Bear-

cret Of his wife's death in De-
cember, 1893, and his subsequent
wanderings, John HUFF died in the
two-story BRICK business dwelling
long known as the "Old HUFF Home

A cripple. MANNED and dying. he
returned eight days ago to the
dwelling from which he disappeared
thirty years ago-the day following
the murder OF his wife in Cleve-
land. He left no clue to clear
him OF the police suspicious at that
time. He refused to exculpate or
confess after thirty years, but car
ried his secret to the grave. He
refused even a physicians care,
and ignored the pleadings Of his
sister, Miss Julia HUFF, who lives
alone in the homestead" II have
only a week to live," was his only
remark.
He returned out Of nowhere, and
not once during his illness, said
Miss HUFF, did he ask for his
mother, his father or any others
Of his family. The father and
mother are dead. as are a sister
and brother of his boyhood. Bat
HUFF never mentioned them.
And while he waited for death,
HUFF preserved the same silence
concerning himself. No mention
of the crime he was alleged to have
committed came from his lips, no
word Of the wanderings he had
I1ad in the last thirty years.

She repeated her question. There
was no answer.
Three hours later HUFF died. The
