NEW GUARD FOR JOHN COOLIDGE
MAY JOIN HIM IN HIS STUDIES
Col. Startling Asks to Be Relieved and His
Substitute Could Pass for an
Amherst Undergraduate.

When John Coolidge, who is now in
Washington spending the Christmas
holidays with his parents at the White
House, returns to Amherst he will not
have Col. Edward w. Startling of the
White House secret service as his
companion and guardian.
1t was learned today that the Presi-
dent has selected Russell Wood also
of the White House secret service, to
take Col Starling's place. 1t is
understood that the change in guar
dams for the Presidents son was
made as a result of entreaties on the
part Of Col. Startling to be relieved of
this assignment.
When it was decided to relieve Col.
Startling, who was with John Cool
idge at Amherst for more than two
months, the President thought 1t
would be advisable to have a younger
secret service man to serve as his
sons companion and protector. After
looking over the younger men OF the
White House squad, Russell Wood,
who is still in his Iwenties and who
may easily pass for an undergraduate
of the college, was chosen for his de-
tail
1t is understood that while Col.
Starting is very fond of the Presi-
dents son and is ever anxious to
please the President, the assignment

Chosen for Work in Jersey,
Victims Board Boat Later
Crushed in Hudson Ice.
DEATH LIST MAY GROW
WITH SCORE MISSING
"a in Hospital Suffering From
Submersion Half Hour in
Icy Waters.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 20.--Sing-
ing at the prospect of employment, 27
men answering the help wanted ad-
vertisement of a New Jersey manu-
featuring plant rode to their death in
the icy waters of the Hudson River
today when ice foes crushed the
launch transporting them.
The death list was expected to be
increased to almost 40 when the work
of grapplers had been completed. Be-
sides the known dead and the miss
ing, "a men were confined in hospitals
suffering from submersion.
There were said to have been 62
men in the boat.
The fact that the applicants had
been singing on the pier before enter
ing the launch was believed to have
contributed to the sloWness or the
rescue work. Persons on shore VINO
heard the screaming Of the drowning
men paid no attention. thinking that
the sounds were merely continued
singing.
The launch left the Ninety-fifth
street pier for the Spencer Kellogg
& Sons plant at Edgewater off 254th
street, the Bronx, it was caught be-
tween the great cakes OF ice ana
crushed. Water poured in, and with
in a few minutes the boat had sunk.
AS the launch left it's Manhattan
pier it had to plow through a shifting
sea of ice. In midstream it was caught
between great foes which cracked its
frame and ripped open it's sides.
Immediately confusion reigned. AS
the water came pouring in the en-
ployes. about half white and half
negro, rushed from the cabin ana
plunged into the frigid water. Al
most Immediately the Linseed King
sank to the water level and many OF
the freezing men clung to its sides
while others attempted TO crawl onto
pieces of floating ice.
The first boat to reach the scene
was the tug Buffalo. More than a
score of almost frozen men were
taken on board and rushed to the
l29th street pier where an emergency
hospital had been established.
Police attempting to check up on
the number of persons who had been
on the Linseed King received widely
varying reports. Some estimates
were as low as 40 while several men
taken to hospitals were vehement in
their assertions that there had been
at least $50.
Say Tanker Failed to Help.
The Linseed King was in charge of
John Rohweider of Jersey City, N. j.
His name did not appear on lists
given out by police of survivors taken
to hospitals.
Several of the survivors reported
that before the tugs came to their
assistance an oil tanker passed within
200 feet of them, going downstream,
and paid no attention to their cries.
Reports as to the cause of the
accident varied. While most blamed
the ice entirely, others asserted that
the launch capsized because it was
crowded like a subway jam" and
that when it tipped to one side every
one rushed to the other side in an
attempt to right it and it upset.
All available river craft speeded
to the rescue of the men struggling
in the icy waters, many of whom
were suffering severely from submer-
sion Of almost half an hour.

at Amherst was not at all to his lik-
ing. Serving as mentor and compan-
ion to the Presidents son was all
very well, but the publicity given
to his being in Amherst caused him
to be an object of curiosity wher-
ever he appeared and to be the SUBJ
ject of all sorts of comment. 1t is
believed at the White House that
Wood will not attract all this atten-
ton and that the same purpose can
be accomplished without the COM
ment associated with Col Starring s
stay at Amherst.
Mr. Wood is considering seriously
actually enrolling at Amherst College
and to make the best of his assign
ment with young Coolidge, by taking
some special course of instruction.
With the return of John to the
White House, that large, quiet old
mansion has taken on more life and
more of the spirit of the Christmas
season This morning he accom-
panied his mother on a shopping tour
of the downtown stores. 1t is under
stood that John is to be given more
liberty during his present visit with
his parents. This Is taken to mean
that John will accept more invitations
to social affairs and that there will
not be such q strict account kept of
his activities and the hours of his re-
turning home at night.

FORT SITE PLANS
GET NEW SETBACK
Black of Texas Leads 0pp0-
sition to Acquisition for
Park Purposes.

Legislation authorizing the acquisi-
ton of Forts Hunt, Va, and Wash
ington, Md, for extension of the park
system of the National Capital suffer
ed another setback today when the
Zihlman bill came up on the unani-
nous consent calendar and objection
was registered by Representative
Black, Democrat of Texas.
Representative Hill, Republican, of
Maryland. who made the report from
the military affairs committee on the
Zihlman BILL explained that these two
forts are no longer needed for mill
tary purposes. He said that troops
are to be removed from Fort Wash
ington as soon as barracks now under
construction at Camp Meade are COM
pleted. He emphasized that it would
be most unfortunate If these old forts
should be sold to private parties.
Representative Cramton, Repub-
lican, of Michigan, pointed out that
these forts can now be bought out
of District of Columbia funds. He
expressed the opinion that the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission is not receiving the full
appropriation that it should have
and expressed the opinion that the
total $1,100,000 a year authorized by
subsequent law should be appro-
priated.
ZihIman Speaks for Bill.
Representative Zihlman, Republican
of Maryland, author of the bill, called
the attention of the House to the
fact these old fort sites are now part
of the riverside parkway project and
should be acquired. He spoke in op-
position to Mr.. Cramtons sugges-
ton that they should be bought out
of District funds. He declared that
the tax payers of the District should
not be called upon to buy land in
Maryland and Virginia.
Fort Hunt is located in Fairfax
County, Va, 16 miles below Washing
ton and just across Little Hunting
Creek at Mount Vernon. 1t was ac-
quired by the Government at a cost
of 45,526.87, and includes 1877 Alb
acres The estimated sale value is
$187,2S1. The entire frontage on the
Potomac River and Little Hunting
Creek is forested and from a wharf
there excellent view is had up the
river to Washington and down the
river to Mount Vernon.
Fort Washington is in Prince
Georges County, Md, IA miles south
of Washington. 1t consists of 354
acres and was acquired at a cost of
$38, ,117.60. The frontage on the Po-
tomac River and Piscataway Creek is
covered with fine forest and an ele-
waited plateau presents splendid views

HOT IRON FOR WARMTH
COSTS FOUR CHILD LIVES
Little Ones Burn to Death When
It Sets Bed Afre-M other
Fails at Rescue.

By the Associated Press.
NEWBURG, w. Va, December 90.
-Four small children were burned to
death at SCOTS Hill, near here, last
night when their bed clothing caught
fire from a hot iron which the mother
had placed in their bed to keep them
warm The victims of the fire were
the children of the Rev. and Mrs. D..
F. Hines, and ranged in age from 1h
to 8 years.
The father, a Methodist Episcopal
circuit minister, had gone to Mount
Zion Church to conduct Sunday eve-
ming services. When Mrs. Hines put
the children to bed she placed hot
iron at their feet.
Returning to the room some time
later, she found it in flames. When
her lone efforts to fight the fire with
buckets of water proved futile, Mrs.
Hines ran a quarter of a mile to the
nearest neighbor, but the house had
been destroyed when help arrived.
The charred bodies of the victims
were found in the ruins.
The mother was placed under the
care of a physician in a critical con.
dition suffering from shock.
