RESOLUTION TO
|. BAR ware, SMITH

Dill Demands Senate
Shut Door on Pair
Especial to The Daily wOrksr)


WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. - Resolu-
tons to bar Frank l.. Smith Of Illinois
and William S. Ware of Pennsylvania
from ever being seated in the senate
were introduced Thursday by Sen.
Dill of Washington. The resolutions
came as a bombshell in the senate,
republican leaders not expecting any
action on the corruption charges
against the two senators-elect until
the next congress.
Would Deny Privileges.
Dill asked that the senate prevent
the two from even exercising their
privileges as senators elect, and urg-
ed that they be refused the privileges
of even presenting their credentials,
closing the senate doors in their face
should they arrive.
Expenditures Of such huge sums of
money to secure the nomination faint
ed Vare's credentials before they
came into being, Dill said.
Hits insult Donation.
The acceptance OF the insult con-
tributon by Smith show such lack of
consideration for sound policy on the
part of "a man aspiring to high office,
that the senate should declare him
disqualified on that ground alone, he
said.
The resolutions were ordered laid
on the table," but can be recalled at
any time for vote.

NUSSOLINI REPORTED
 IN GRAVE CONDITION
(Continued From First Page)

without an endeaVor to show how Mussoini's valiant resistance to his malady has given him q lofty place in the hearts of the Italian people.
 Suffering from an ailment which has attacked his digestive organ, Mussolini works longer hours than any man in Italy. He attends neces- sary official luncheons or dinners, but partakes only of milk or bowls of rice while others about him are able 10 enjoy the full rich repasts placed on the board in front Of them.
 Mussolini never complains, even to his intimates. When alone in his apartment after strenuous day of physical and mental effort in direct- ing affairs of state, his body racked by eXcruciating stabs Of pain, he takes from its case an old violin he has played since youth and by soft strains of music, which all Italians so passionately love, he seeks to rem der unreal and impotent his personal enemy and his personal danger.
 The Romans know of the heroic struggle Mnssolini patiently is main taining and perhaps more than any other single thing 1t has increased their admiration for Mussolini, the man.
 A kind Of unwritten gentleman's B agreement, based on common cour- tesy to fellow man, has been form ulated in Italy that the people gen. erally shall stop talking abont the premier's physical condition.

COOLIDGE GETS
 SEVERAL OFFERS
Vermont Wants Him to Spenl
 Summer There

Boston, April 24 R--Sow Ems. land is striving to sell" President Coolidge on its vacation advantages. While q score of states have invited the president to establish the sum. mer White House within their bor- ders, his native region has offered Mfr, Coolidge his choice Of half dozen vacation residences. The range is wide---from the Berkshire hills to Cape Cod in Massachusetts, and north to the city of Burlington in northern Vermont.
 Since he entered the White House tho president has had two summer vacations and has spent them both in New England. White Court, Swampscott, Mass, chosen last year as inc summer White House. will not house the prrsi- dential family this season. Mir. Coolidge having expressed prefer. ence for mountain rather than seq air. But the old Coolidge home stead at Plymouth. Vt, whore the president rested In 1924, still Is In the running.
 The white farmhouse in the Green Mountains, where Calvin Coolidge spent his boyhood and where he was sworn in as president by his father in 1923, became the property Of Mr. Coolidge on the death of Colonel John Coolidge In March. Since his fathers death the president has kept the house open with Miss Aurora Pierce in charge as housekeeper. The neighbors in Plymouth believe that Mir. Coolidge will return this summer to the haunts of his youth. but so far the White House has been silent on the question.
 Vermont has held out to the presi- dent two invitations for his vacation sojourn, while Massachusetts, the state of his political beginnings, has proffered three possible vacation places, Both of the Vermont estates suggested to Mir. Coolidge are near Burlington. Congressman Allen IT. TreadWay of Massachusetts has rec commended to the president two sum mer homes in Berkshire county of this state, while the Cape Cod folk have extended an invitation to the presidential family to visit those hos. pitable shores.
 The city of Burlington. Vt, has formally offered Mir. Coolidge the use of Fatrholt, the estate of the late Henry Holt overlooking Lake Cham plain. The large mansion of brick colonial design is situated on wood- ed estate of 160 acres. From it's lofty site arc visible the Adirondak mountains across the lake, which Is nine miles wide at that point.
