PRESIDENT PASSES
FOURTH IN PRIVATE
Coolidge Observes His Seth
Brthday-Many Cakes
Arrive.
Hy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SUPERIOR, Wis. July Answering
to the Chief Executives own wishes
today was set aside at the Summer
White House for the quiet observance
of Mfr Coolidge's fifty-sixth birthday
with only his family about him.
Abandoning the custom of past years
of having more or less public celebra-
ton of the anniversary, President Cool
idge had indicated his desire to spend
the day in absolute privacy. No invi-
tstions had therefore been issued for
any reception during the Gay.
Many Cakes Arrive.
Many birthday cakes came to the ex-
ecutive residence yesterday. Reports
several days ago that the necessity of a
cake was the only aspect of his birth
day to which Mr. Coolidge had given
any forethought apparently caused
many housewives in the vicinity OF SUI
perior to offer their most ambitious
productions to the Summer White
House.
The outstanding cake which arrived
was made by Mrs. F. l., Cowen of Du-
iuth It weished II pounds and was
made of rs eggs pounds of sugar and
pounds of cake -four. Fifty-six cam
dies glittered about its base and up its
frosted sides.
An exception TO the rule of strict
privacy for the day was allowed by Mr.
Coolidge in answer to the inSistent de-
mands of news photographers who re-
cuested permission TO take pictures of
him and his family on this occasion.
With the arrival of Mr.. Coolidge's
son John from the East last Sunday
the family circle was complete at Cedar
Island Lodge today. 1t is known that
the Chief Executive had been looking
forward with great pleasure to the OPP
portunity of again having his whole
family about him and that for this rea
son he had decided against any public
intervention in his plans today.
Superior Celebrates.
Superior in the meantime celebrated
the Fourth of July with parades.
speeches and other festivities, with Gov.
Fred r. Zimmerman Of wisconsin as
guest
President Coolidge planned TO include
among his birthday pastimes his usual
fishing trip on the Brule. He expected
to try out the new fishing rod and
tackle with which he was presented yes
terday by the Superior Council of the
Boy Scouts.

LOAN PLAN IN j. 5.
Attempt to Float Bond Issue
By Russia in N. Y. Will
Be Halted

WASHINGTON, JAN 81 R---An
attempt by Soviet Russia to float
part of bond issue in the United
States to raise funds for Russian
railways has run .afoul of the de-
termination of the American gov
ernment that Russia's international
obligations are to be met and her
debt to this country recognized before
any such undertakings through Amer
lean bankers or otherwise can be
sanctioned.
Newspaper advertisements offering
for subscription approximately $780,
O0O,OCNworth of per cent gold bonds
at 95 brought the soviet governments
move to secure funds to the notice
of the state department.
Investigation by officials have con-
vinced them that the proposal is in
contravention of the American gov
ernments policy under which finan-
cial projects involving the flotation
of loans in the American market
or the employment OF American
credit for the purpose OF making
advances to the soviet regime are
objectionable to the United States
government. The state department
is preparing to notify the bankers
concerned Of it's objection.
