COOLIDGE MAY NOT
 RECEIVE HIS FARM
Foreclosure Proceedings 1hrat-
 ened on HOOsier Onion Land

Indianapolis. Feb. 22 .(UP) - President Coolidge is threatened with the loss of his 175-acre onion farm in Pulaski county. Ind. by foreclosure proceedings on past due mortgage. it was learned today.
 Luke w. Dulfey. of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation, who deeded the farm to MT. Coolidge. specifying the gift was for any ren- dered service to agriculture. re- vealed the foreclosure threat.
 The Aetna Life Insurance com- pany. which holds the mortgage. has instituted suit in Pulaski cir cult court to foreclose it, Duffey said. Defendants named were Duff fey, despite his waiver of claim to the tract. and President Coolidge. as trustee for Andrew w. Mellon. Senator James A. Reed. Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio and Julius Barnes: Secretary of Agriculture William NJ. Jardine: Senator Pa, 1Adl lioCA1 VI .liscASSlppl anu ANN Fl sentative Finis Garret of Tennessee. Each has been asked to sign u disclaimer in the form of a waiver Of answer and appearance.
 Duffey said he planned to circu- late a chain letter among farmers to collect a fund so that the Wasn ington desk farmers won't lose their white elephant.
 Tt is my sincere desire that the tract be saved from loss by mort gage foreclosure or tax sale" he said. President Coolidge and the other gentlemen, ignoring the far mer and his conditions. should learn what it costs to keep up the property"
 The farm recently was advertised for sale for taxes. Because of its unsuitability for anything other than onions, no buyer appeared. according to Duffey.

POLICE STILL HUNT
 DEATH SLED SLIDER
Have Not Given Up Hope Of
 Finding Coaster

The boy or boys in charge of the sled which struck John Massey. aged 9. of S4 Lawlor street, Monday night. inticting injuries which re- suited in his death at New Britain General hospital. have not been To- cated by the police but the investi- gation into the accident has not been completed, it was said this afternoon at police headquarters.
 Sergeant John z. Stadler learned that the unfortunate boy was pull ing his sled up Clark street, having slid down several times, when he was struck by a flexible flyer. The force of the impact threw him into the gutter and Rose Bartinole of l65 Lawlor street and Bertha Shivok of 2l Olive street, ninth grade pupils at Nathan Hale school. picked him up and brought him to his home on a sled. In the excite- ment, nobody learned the identity of the boy or boys on the flexible flyer. The Bartinole girl told Ser geant Stadler there was only one boy on the sled, while the Shivok girl was positive there were at least two.
 After the boy had been carried into his home, Mrs. John Liebler, wife of Officer John Liebler of loa Lawlor street, called Dr. W. F. Elan agan, who ordered removal to the hospital. A short time later. the hospital authorities believed strang- ulation was setting in and Dr. W. T. Morrissey was called. He found no evidence of strangulation, and &C., cording to Sergeant Stadler's report, Dr. John Purney. medical examiner. was refused permission of the boys parents to perform an Autopsy. It is believed. however. that e blood clot resulted from a compound frac- ture of the leg, and caused pulmon- ary embolisnl.
 The Bartinole and Shivok girls told Sergeant Stadler they were go- ing up the hill at point opposite Union street and the Massey boy was to their left, practically in the cen- ter of the road. It appeared from their story that the boy or boys on the flexible flyer were not to blame. as they apparently believed they had the right of way over . returning coaster.
