|O'GRADY MAY NOT GO TO RUSSIA NOW
Macdonald Seeking Some Other Man for Diplomatic Post l,
By The Associated Press.


 London. Feb. 21.-- James OGrady, the man selected by Prime Minister Macdonald to be Great Britain's first ambassador to Russia under the new regime, will not go to Moscow if the premier can find among the labor party leaders or in the regular diplo- matic service another man of suffici- ent calibre for the post according to authoritative information.
 Mir. O'Grady himself is understood to be averse to accepting the appoint ment, because of the hardships and the expressing character Of the du- dies involved. It is recalled that dur ] ing his last stay in Russia he con- tracted smallpox. from which he nearly died. and his friends say he ] has never quite recovered his normal health. In the meantime the British government has the fullest confidence in the ability of Robert NJ. Hodgson, the British charge in Moscow, constd- erinG him adequately equipped to rep resent British interests there. Mir. Hodgson has served in the British consular service for many years in different parts Of Russia, speaks the i language, is thoroughly conTersaut with Russian affairs and keenly alive to British needs.
 There is a growing conviction in 1 England that the Moscow pest de- mands 6 diplomat of wide training. skilled in statecraft and international affairs and competent to match the ability of such adroit Russian states men as Tchitcherin, Rykoff, krassin and Kameneff.
 Whoever may go as British am bassador will find the way well paved hy MT. O'Grady. it is pointed out. It was he who conducted tho first ne- gotiatiOns with the soviet for the eG- change Of prisoners, and was one or the earliest advocates Of trade agreement. and he has had valuable commercial and personal experience in Russia and with the soviet ofii- cials
 NJ. Rakoysky the Russian represent ative now in London, will leave for Moscow in few days with long list of matters pending with the British government on which he seeks instructions, He hopes 10 return 10 London within a fortnight. and it is expected the projected Anglo Russian conference outlined by Mir. Mac Donald win be held in London some time in March. Sir Sydney Chap man, permanent under secretary of the board of trade, will be one Of the principal British experts. Leonid i<rasin is likely to be the chief soviet delegate.

TWO LINCOLN COATS
Shot in, Chicago-Another Sold Yesterday for S65O0.

Chicago, Feb. 20.--The Chicago ! Historical society for years has ex- 1 hibited and treasured as one of its cherished possessions. a coat which affidavits attest is the garment worn 1 by Abraham Lincoln when he was shot. April 14, 1865.
 Philadelphia dispatches yesterday stated that an auctioneer there had sold for S6,500 the coat worn by Lin l colp when he was shot. The garment, according to the auctioneer. had been presented to Alphonso Dom. White House doorkeeper, by Mrs Lincoln, and letter from her to Dom was included in the sale.
 The Chicago Historical society's coat was presented by Frank G. Lo- gan, who obtained it in 1889 from Thomas r. Pendel, a doorkeeper at the White House during the Civil war, who vouched for its authenticity. Charles Forbes, another veteran at- tache of the executive mansion, also swore to the genuineness of the gar ment.
 Mr. Logan, who has spent years in collecting Lincoln relics, declares he has not doubt that the Chicago coat IS the original Tt is strange that this other coat should have lain around for sixty years without anyone know ing about it." he says.
 The claims for the Philadelphia rel ics probably will be investigated by officers of the Chicago Historical so- ciety.

Frederick William Lingscheid was
born in the city of Milwaukee in July,
1916, and at time of death was almost
rs years of age. His parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Anton Lingscheid, removed from
Milwaukee to British Hollow in 1848
where the father for many years con-
Quoted a boot and shoe shop. At the
age of five years cataracts formed on
the eyes of little Fritz and everything
that could be done was done for his
alienation but to no avail. The little
boy became totally blind. Unlike
then, as is now, eye specialists in
these parts were unknown. When
about eight years old he was taken
to the state institution for the blind
at GAINESVILLE, Wis, and remained
there for six years. 1t was there that
he was taught music, making brooms
and fancy bead work. He became a
proficient musician and was master
violinist and cornet player and in ad-
dition could play any instrument laid
before him. His instinct for music was
wonderful. To read him piece OF
music once was sufficient; he could
then play it. Returning to his home
from school his services were IN de-
mand to play for dances, at weddings
and other functions and he played for
many and enjoyed the fun in the same
spirit as those who could see. After
the death of his father in 1880 he and
his mother were left here alone. The
mother then made her home with her
daughter, Mrs Wilmott, and Fritz
went to live with his sister, Mrs. Null
Ter, on a farm near Glen Haven. AT
ter some time there he became dis
satisfied and returned here. He and
his mother went to the old home in
British Hollow and lived together I'M
til her death in February 1885. He
then moved to the Wilmott home and
off and on was there Is years. He al
so lived at intervals with friends,
namely Henry Uppena, Joe PatZner,
Pete Lepla and others. His habits be-
came so unbearable and burdensome
that relatives and friends could no
longer keep him. More could be said
of the life history of poor old Fritz
but this is enough. He went to the
county home about six years ago
where he died. He is mourned by two
sisters, Mrs Kate Wilmott of Tenny-
son and Mrs. Eva Muller of Gutten-
berg, Ia, who desire to express their
sincere thanks to Miss Josie Schu-
macher and other attendant friends
at the home for the beautiful floral
Offering they so kindly sent.
