PRESIDENT CONSIDERS LIST
OF POSSIBLE SUCCESSORS
TO HARRY NJ. DAUGHERTY

may eliminate some at the outset.
The feeling in many quarters in
Washington is that Mr. Coolidge
would like to offer the place to Sec
rotary Hughes, who he believes could
work out successfully the policies
he has in view for the department
of justice.
Hughes Position Unknown
Mr.. Hughes hardly would accept
it in the belief of his friends. as he
prefers the state department and
considers that post his greater field
of usefulness.
Somewhat the same considerations
apply to Senators BOrah and Pep
per. Friends of the former said to-
day he absolutely was opposed so
far as his present frame of mind is
concerned. to taking a cabinet place.
President Coolidge and Chief JUS.
tice Rugg are close personalffriends,
and in the Massachusetts Jurist the
president has the utmost confidence.
Mr.. Ccolid@e, however, has shoWn
himself time after time to be ad-
verse to app0 rting any one from
Massa chusetts because he apparent
Nv feels that state now has more
than its share of representation in
atiolal governmental affairs. Jus
tce RGeg would easily be the pceSi-
dents choice could no one measCr-
ing ND to the requirements be [oInd
in some other state.
Stone Friend of Coolidge
Mr.. Stone recently retired as
head of the Columbia University
School of Law to practice law in
New York city, and has long been
a friend of the president, both hav
ing been graduated from Amherst
college. While Judge Cranes con-
ference today was with respect to
the type of man to be appointed, Mr.
Coolidge undoubtedly took occasion
to survey his qualifications,
Judge Kenyon is held in high re
gard by the president as is Governor
Groesbeck. That was attested to in
the case of Judge Kenyon by the
action Of the president in offering
him the navY secretaryship several
weeks ago. Some of the presidents
advisers, however, do not feel the
executive should make another offer
to Judge Kenyon.
Others undoubtedly are in the
presidents mind, but he has given
70 indication as to who they are,
preferrine for the moment to deter
mine the type of man desired. The
expectation was expressed tonight
at the White House, however. that
the place would be filled within a
week.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Mrs.
Florence King Harding, widow of
| the late president, is living the life
| Of A recluse as official Washington
tumbles and losses on the turbulent
seas of investigation.
Since she took up her residence In
downtown hotel some three months
ago Mrs Harding has not left her
apartment more than half a dozen
times. On two of these occasions
she motored out to Friendship to
spend an afternoon or evening with
| the Ned McLeans, who had been
among the closest friends of herself
and her husband during their White
House days and for a long time prior
thereto.
Mrs. Harding dresses, of course.
| in mourning. Her health, which
many feared would break under the
great strain of eight months ago,
appears to be excellent at this time.
DIR. Sawyer, of Marion, who was the
White House physician, lives at the
same hotel with Mrs. Harding and
he and Mrs. Sawyer are the most
constant of the visitors at the Har-
ding apartment. Other frequent call
ers are Mr.. and Mrs. D. r. Crissln'
ger, old neighbors of the Marion
days Mr.. Crissinger is the head of
the federal reserve board.
| Outside of these lifelong friends,
Mrs. Harding seldom sees anyone,
although dozens of cards are left al
her door daily. Her contact with the
outside world is maintained almost
wholly through correspondence. 1T is
said at the hotel that her mail at
times amounts TO several hundred
| letters a day. In order to keep up
with the heavy task of acknowledg-
| ing s many of the letters as posi-
BILE. Mrs. Harding often works for
hours with two women secretaries
who are constantly in her employ.
I Mrs Harding's suite is the most
palatial in the big hotel which was
generally known in Washington as
| administrator headquarters" dur
| ing the two years and a half Mr..
Harding was in the White House.
1t stretches across the + street side
of the building and consists of a
| large bedroom, a living room, a
drawing room, private dining room
and two baths. The furnishings are
quite elaborate.
The suite was especially planned
and constructed for former Senator
r. Coleman Dupont, of Delaware,
one of the owners Of the hotel. Mr..
animals as deer and many domestic
creatures are subject to the foot
and mouth disease. They may travel
| far and spread germs through many
| counties before they are killed. Even
animals other than the cloVen-
| hoofed sort carry the disease al
! though they are not likely to suffer
| from it. Thus one of the first steps
taken by federal officials in handling
an infected farm is to kill dogs and
poultry.

NEW YORK, March 29,-Rela-
lively firm Liverpool cables and an
unfavorable weather map and bull
lsh spot advices were responsible for
4 very sharp opening advance in the
eotton market today. The buying
WAS supplied around 27.91c for May
contracts, however, and the price
later reacted to 27.51c under reallz-
ing. May closed at 27.56c, with the
general market closing steady at a
Sat advance of 20 to 40 points.
The opening was firm at an adj
vance of 40 TO so points on the ac-
tive months, while January was 70
points higher. There was an urgent
demand from shorts, who appeared
to be alarmed over the report OF a
fjrner spot situation and claims that
a considerable block of cotton had
been sold out of the local stock for
export late yesterday
Trade interests were buyers or
near months, but the bulk of the
demand was attributed to covering,
and after the most urgent buying
had been supplied, prices eased OIL

moor demand for cotton goods and
prospects for clearing weather IN

"a. 40c to 24.00c, but the close was
5 or 10 points up from the lowest

CHICAGO, March 29.-Word that
the government supervisor of trad
ing in future deliveries of grain had
called attention to what he regard
ed as overseeing of corn had much
to do today with a quick advance in
the price of corn, and of wheat and
oats as we'll. General evening up of
accounts by dealers who had been
engaged on the bear side took place,
and with offerings light 7Ee advance
easily ensued. Corn CLOSED nervous,

to 3-4c gain, and provisions varying
from unchanged figures to a rise Of

According to the government SUI
pervisor yesterdays decline IN corn
prices appeared y be due more TO
speculative SellinG more than liQui-
da.ion on the par of holders and ha
so notified the board of trade dlrec-
tors. knowledge of this action prov
ed sufficient to bring about sud
den reversal of the market position
of numerous traders, especially as
widespread storms and predictions
of a cold wave furnished additional
reason for q change to the buying
side. 1t was. assumed in some quar-
ters that the board of trade directors
might undertake to restrict selling,
but the directors refrained from any
formal step, and left the subject in
the hands of the government repre-
sentative.
In view Of pronounced subsequent
absence Of selling, commission house
buying of wheat tended to increase
during the last hour. The trade was
also given a little stimulus by esti-
mates that European purchasing of
Canadian wheat in the last few days
amounted to 100000 bushels more
than had been reported.
Selling ascribed to smaller packers
weakened the provision market, de.
spite an upturn in the value of
hogs.
