AD|R0NDACKS WILL
BE VACATION SPOT
FOR PRES. COOLIDGE

Washington, May 12.-(P)-Presi-
dent Coolidge will spend his sum-
mer vacation in the Adirondacks at
the estate of Irwin r. Kirkwood,
publisher of the Kans.s City Star,
unless there is an unexpected change
in his plans. Announcement of his
intentions was made today at the
White House where it was said he
had virtually decided" upon the
place for summer home.
The estate is on Lake Osgood,
three miles from Paul Smiths, New
York, and covers IS acres with a
mansion and several small houses
which could accommodate the White
House personnel. Executive offices
probably would be established in a
hotel at Paul Smiths.
While 1t had been announced sew
eral weeks ago that the president
would spend his vacation in the
mountains instead Of at the seashore
as he did last year. it was said Off
cially only yesterday that he had
reached no final decision on his sum-
mer plans.
For some time, however, it had
been apparent that he would prob
ably go to the Adirondacks, or pos
sibly to the shores of Lake Champ
lain to the east A favorable report
on the Kirkwood estate was made
to him by Frank w. Stearns of Bos-
ton, and others who inspected it.
The time of the presidents de-
parture from Washington has not
been determined.

PRESIDENT HEARS
PROTESTS OF PAPERS
over PAPER Rates

Washington, May -. - Up - A
group of newspaper publishers, rep
resenting the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, called on
President Coolidge and on house and
senate leaders today to discuss pend
ing postal rate legislation. They con-
tended that if there is to be postal
legislation at this session it would
be to the interest of the government,
as well as to the public, to reduce
second class rates so as to increase
both the volume of mail and revee
nues.
The delegation told the president
that rostottice department records
show that newspaper mail, which
pays the full second class rate, not
only is smaller in volume today than
in 1920, but smaller than in 1912.
Records also show, they said. that
this class Of mail is the only one
whose volume has been curtailed over
creased rates.
1t was pointed out that present
rates range from 125 to 600 percent
HlRneC lNdH lIlG TdlGS III tIlSCl pLlOI
to 1920, the 1920 rates which the pub
fishers are advocating being from 80
to 800 percent higher than the old
fiat rates, according to the distance
of distribution. The president also
was informed that newspapers are
paying an average of $1.75 per 100
pounds for this class of mail, while
the government is paying the rail-
roads only II cents per 100 pounds
for carrying it.
Those in the delegation included:
s. H. Anthony of the New Bedford,
Mass, Standard; Howard Davis of
the New York Herald-Tribune; L. K.
Williams of the Pittsburgh Gazette
Times and Chronicle Telegraph; e.
H. Butler of the Buffalo News, and
