him lty the White House.
Plymouth, VT. Aug. 3.-It was 11:50
O'Clock eastern standard time, when
the message arrived at the Coolidge
house in an automobile from Bridge
water, with the telegram announcing
the presidents death. Mr.. Coolidge
dressed hastily and came down stairs
attired in black, with black necktie.
He was very calm and collected.
Mrs. Coolidge came down a moment
later weeping. Her first words were
for Mrs. Harding. She spoke of what
a great shock it would be to the pres
ident's wife, and said that it was won
derful how she had stood up under
the strain of the crisis.
President Coolidge issued the fol-
lowing statement:
Reports have reached me which
| fear are correct,I that President
Harding is gone. The world has lost
a great and good man. l mourn his
loss. He was my chief and my friend.
''It will be my purpose to carry out
the policies which he has begun for
the service of the American people
and for meeting their esponsibllltles
whenever they may ARISE. fof this
purpose | shall seek the cooperation
of all those who have been associated
with the president during his term OF
office Those who have given their
efforts to assist him | wish to retain
in office that they may assist me.
81 have faith that God will direct
the destinies of our nation"
President Coolidge sent the follow
ing Telegram to Mrs. Harding:
1--WE offer you our deepest SYM
pathy. May God bless you and keep
you.
(Signed)
Calvin Coolidge.
"Grace Coolidge"
After visit to his mothers grave
he was off to Washington. He arrived
in the capital at 9:10 p. m. Aug, 3rd
to be met at the railway station by
an official party including Secretary
Hughes and Postmaster General New.
Then, before retiring, he confer
red with Secretary Hughes and Sen
ator Curtis of Kansas, Republican
whip. August 4th the new chief ex-
ecutive planned a busy cay. He in
tended to remain in Washington un-
til the body of Mr.. Harding arrived
from San Francisco, Tuesday, and go
to Marion, Ohio, for the burial.
President Colidge went directly to
his suite in the New Willard hotel
where he and Mrs. Coolidge will re-
main until Mrs. Harding at her con-
venience moves from the White
House.
The new president planned to rise
bright and early Wednesday morning
and be at his desk by 800 a. m. Mail
accommodating during his vacation at
New England dsconferences on Mr..
Harding's funeral arrangements alb
sorbed his attention.
Those who came with the president
consider it unlikely that he will an

administration until the country has
recovered from the shock of the
death of Mr.. Harding.
The funeral train was met here by
President Colidge, several members
of the cabinet, Supreme court justices

"When wealth becomes ar

there will come a time when the

kEISER WE'LL PLEASED WITH
DAN'E CULTURE IN VALLEY

Stressing the fact that date
culture in the Imperial Valley pos
sesses great possibilities and that
every effort s-iouid be made to en-
courage and expand it was the out
standing feature of the investiga
tion of this industry by E55;==::l G.
keiser, state real estate commits
sioner. MIR. Keiscr left for the
coast last night, and while putting
himself on record rs well pleased
with the date outlook gin Imperial
Valley, made it plain that his de-
partment would not countenance the
sale of date land here that would
not bear the closest scrutiny.
Mr.. Keiser referred iN detail to
his official probe of the holdings
and operations of q project known
as "The Imperial Valley Date Gar
dens' which was the real cause
of his trip to the valley.
lie particularly emphasized the
absolute necessity of care in selec-
tion of date offshoots, as well as
the imperative need of proper soil
and climatic conditions.
Offered Planted Acreage
Last summer, Mr.. Keiser stated,
a group of promoters from outside
the valley who, according to the
purport of their assertions, were
presenting Il safe and profitable
form Of agricultural investment,
began to offer to the public in one
of the coast cities the opportunity
to purchase planted acreage in
"The Imperial Valley Date Gar
dens,' at cost of $4,000 per acre.
Suspicion was soon aroused as
to the quality of the land offered,
and the still further questionable
quality of the date offshOots which
were to produce such fabulous re-
suits.
An official investigation by the
state real estate board, tho purpose
of which is to prevent the perpe-.
tration of swindles followed, with
the result that the unpleasant pub
licity which ensued put a decided
crimp in the sale of land in the
"Imperial Valley Date Gardens. -
SO much for q review of the case
which brought Mr.. Keiser to Impe-
rial Valley to look up for himself
the merits of this proposition, and
incidentally to examine the date
growing industry Of this section.
Investigates Seedlings
Mr.. Keiser then went ON to dis:
cuss the relative merits of devel-
oping q grove from seedlings as
against the planting of imported
stock, mentioning the wonderful
manner in which the importations
thrive here, but also saying that
some local seedlings of great value
had been found.

Wall Street in
Lower Closing

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Technical
considerations were the principal
factors in today's stock market.
Shorts had sensed an overcrowded
condition in the market and had
started Il covering movement at the
previous close. which was temper
arily interfered with at the opening
of the market by the announcement
of a stock exchange failure.
But this affected long as well as
short commitments. After long
holdings were absorbed, short COW
ering for this account III stocks like
Delaware and Hudson, U. S. Rub
Der, Bethlehem Steel and Texas
Gulf Sulphur promoted a resumption
of the bear retreat in other sections
of the market.
This movement gathered consider
! able momentum by early afternoon,
substantial rallies taking place in

can Can and other industrial lead

No More Football
For Immigrants

SAN FRANCISCO, September 28,
There will be no more interna-
tional football games on Angel Is
land for the immigrants. Immigra
tion Commissioner John d. Nagle
thought football game might pep
up the immigrants and teach them
something of American ways.
A team of Russians versus Chin
esa was selected and the game play
ed without any murders,-but when
the players left the field they did
not stop playing. Now every time
q Chinaman sees a Russian he
makes flying leap. The barracks
threatened to be a shambles.
There will be no more football
games-African golf and croquet are
being contemplated now as less like
,ly to lead to international compli-
cations.
Imperial Valley press., 1923-09-28

In summing up the present status
of the Imperial Valley Date Gar
dens, Mr.. Keisar stated that he, in
his official capacity, absolutely re-
fused to give his sanction to the
scheme, and that it would be nee
ecssary for the company to present
TO him pedigree showing the per-
formance record of the parent plants
from which the offshoots were tax
en- before he would approve of the
sale of the land planted Herewith.
At the close of the interview,
Mr.. Keiser was asked what he
would do if the present promotion
scheme was continued along ques-
tionable lines. "There is Il fine
of $4,000 or q penalty of two years
Imprisonment for the practice of
certain misrepresentations,n he an
swered instantly, "and if any case
should warrant such measures, /
would not hesitate to endeavor to
see them apAied.' ~

DOING AWAY WITH UGLlNESS
Citizens of Kansas City Have the Right
Idea in influencing the Taste
of the Public.

Speaking of city Identification, a CO.
ordinate subject with city improve
ments on a 800, 700 scale, it is in
teresting to note that Kansas City has
a Citizens Anti-Ugly Association"
Its object is to keep the town spruced
up. 1t calls attention to things that
ought to be done TO make Kansas City
prettier and the things that ought not
to be done that will make 1t less pretty
than IL is.
1t is greatly interested in coming and
in lesser esthetic regulations such ms
those that affect %billboards. weeds,
tree pruning. and Topsy-like cheap ar
chltecture that lest grows without
planning.
Its main influence at first is TrOpa-
gandist. Precept and preaching is the
idea but ordinances are also an aim.
There is much I'm %persuading the pub
lie taste and a single object lesson In
beauty Is worth n hundred In
our own humble opinion, If you want
an appreciation of beauty in city plan
ming and building, show a bit Of 1t ac-
compllshed-and theren be a clamor
for more.-St. Louis Globe-D Democrat.
