Tour of White House Coon;
Cancelled. as He Refuses to Don Harness

The White House coon. from the
wilds of Mississippi. has thrown down
cold an opportunity to go sightseeing
under Presidential leash.
fEyerything seemed all set 1or the
big venture, but the furry animal.
with backwoods etiquette. declined
the honor.
The leash even WAS purchased.
The harness which was to inclose
the coonly shoulders was ready.
White House coon hunting experts
and trainers stood prepared to per-
form the hitching-up operations.
President Coolidge himself looked
on with eager interest.
And then-the coon backed out.
The backing out was most con-
vincing Time after time the
doughty coon huntsmen of the
White House endeavored to slip the
leather paraBhernalia over the head
and shoulders of the lively little beast,
only to go down in ignominious de-
feat.
Urged on by presidential words OF
encouragement, the somewhat wary
coon stalkers resorted to threats, en-
treaties and various unique forms OF
cajolery in their efforts to entice the
slippery animal into the waiting
harness. All the usual tricks of the
coon hunting profession were tried
out, without success

HIT BY TWO AUTOS,
PEDESTRIAN is HURT

\ man believed to be James h
Pythian, 50 years old. was seriously
injured while at the northwest corner
Of Fifteenth street and Rhode Island
avenue early this afternoon. when two
automobiles, interlocked in collision,
swung over and knocked him down.
The collision, according to James
Green. colored. of 1911 Church street,
occurred while he was driving truck
north on Fifteenth street. toward the
center Of the intersection. when his
machine was struck by large limou-
sine.
The bumper of the limousine showed
the delivery truck. which is owned by
the Garden T Shop, to the northeast
corner. where the pedestrian was
struck. The delivery car ended with
two wheels smashed off against a
tree. Inspection revealed that the en-
sine had been sprung from it's seat
and severe damage had resulted to the
delivery car, but only the left front
fender and the bumper Of the limousine
was dented and scraped.
The injured man was rushed to
Emergency Hospital, where it was
found he was in a critical condition
from a fractured skull. He had not
regained consciousness an hour after
the accident, and hospital officials
have been unable to verify his iden-
tity. Papers found in his pocket,
they said, indicated to them that he
was Pythian. Green. driver of the
truck, sustained a lacerated left hand
and was treated at the hospital.
The limousine was operated by
Raymond Harrod. according TO wit
nesses, and is the property of the
general accounting ONCE.

Beads Of perspiration stood out on
the heads of the would-be captors.
Finally it was decided to have the
law on the critter. The law appeared
in the person of White House police
man. He had never seen a raccoon
before. The raccoon had never seen
a policeman. Both being so surprised
by the others appearance, the busi-
ness of the moment was forgotten and
before the coon knew what was hap
pening the harness was strapped
around him.
But the applause that greeted the
achievement had scarcely died out be.
fore the coon was free again. Mis-
chievously, he stood there, defying
his pursuers and casting an appeal.
ing glance every now and then to-
ward Mr. Coolidge.
He seemed to be saying: Say, mis-
ter. you saved my neck Thanksgiv-
ing day-why don't you give me a
hand now?'
, 1t was too much.
The hunt was called off. the sight
seeing plans abandoned and orders
were issued that the animal should be
provided with a permanent apartment
in the White House menagerie. Mrs.
Coolidge has had q leading part in
these arrangements. II anybody
wants a nice new leather harness and
leash. one may be found at the White
House.

PRESIDENT GIVEN
HOUSE TAX VIEWS
Seven G.. O. p. Members
Guests at Second White
House Breakfast Farley.

Holding his second breakfast confer
ence in as many days with party asso.
ciates, President Coolidge this morning
took up with House members the
question of the accumulated Treasury
surplus and exchanged ideas as to
the most practical and beneficial!
means Of disposing of it.
The President had as his guests
seven members Of the House, four Of
whom are members of the ways
and means committee, which will
eventually draft the legislation pro-
viding for the disposition Of the sur
plus. The other three were the Re
publican leaders Of the House.
1t was said afterward that President
Coolidge gave a candid outline OF his
ideas regarding the surplus and tax
reduction and in return sought the In
dividual views OF his guests. Then
followed a general exchange Of opin-
ions. which were represented as hav-
ing been' frankly expressed, not only
regarding the matter of the surplus
and tax reduction but other major
subjects calculated to come before the
coming session of Congress.
Those at Breakfast.
Those who made UP this small com
.1any of guests were Representatives
Tilson of Connecticut, Republican
leader of the House; Smell of New
York. chairman OF the rules commit
tee: Wood of Indiana. the ranking
member of the appropriations com
lnittee in the city at this time. and
the following members Of the ways
and means committee: Green of Iowa /,
chairman; Hawley. Oregon; Treadway,
Massachusetts, and Bacharach OF New
jersey.
The President has made il plain
since he first proposed turning the
surplus back to the taxpayers, that
he is not going to be insistent in the
matter. He considers this a matter
almost solely within the province Of
the ways and means committee of the
House.
Those who talked later with the EX-
ecutive went away with the impress
sion that he was pleased with all he
heard earlier in the day. However,
there was no indication at the White
House. or intimations from those who
attended this conference, that any.
thing In the way Of a. definite assur-
ance was given the President by his
guests that his proposal would be car.
ried out when the time comes.
Advised of Party Views.
NJ reover, the President is under
stood to have been advised that there
exists at this time among good many
Republicans some opposition to the
plan; that there is apparently consid-
cradle sentiment among members of
his own party in favor of applying
the surplus to further debt reduction.
Besides this the President has been
told that there are some Republicans
who would prefer to see legislation
providing further permanent cut
in the taxes.
1t is felt 10 be certain that the
President will discuss this subject at
some length in the message he will
submit to Congress when it meets in
Joint session next week.
Representative and Mrs. Tilson. who
arrived in Washington last night. are
10 be- guests at the White House until
their own home has been opened.
Ira Nelson Morris, former Minister
to Sweden. also is guest at the
White House.
