COOLIDGE HAS
DAY IN OFFICE
Butler and Lenroot I'm
Wisconsin to See
President

SUPERIOR, Wis, June 1s.-Pl-
The first day Of routine business at
the White House executive offices
opened today with no definite en-
gagements on President Coolidge's
books, but with informal plans TO re-
ceive both William M. Batter. who
resigned last week as chairman of
the national republican committee,
and Irvine l.. Lenroot, former senator
from Wisconsin.
Butler came here fresh from the
Kansas City convention, and while
it was said that his desire to see Mr..
Coolidge had no special significance
it was generally supposed that he
would give the chief executive n per-
sonal account OF events at the re-
publican convention.
Lenroot's wish to see President
Coolidge was ascribed TO a desire to
ascertain what impression the sum-
mer White House, in whose transfer
to Wisconsin this year the former
senator had been so instrumental,
had made on Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge.
Yesterday the president attended
church in Brule. a hamlet six miles
from Cedar Island Lodge. Worship
ping for the first time in Wiscon-
sin. Mr.. Coolidge chose the tiny
whitewashed church at Brule, at
which a ~69-year-old blind lay min
ister for years has been preaching TO
a small congregation.
At the end of the service President
Coolidge. instead Of taking, as is the
custom, the arm of the days preach
er and being by him escorted out Of
the church, reversed the procedure.
He clasped the blind preachers arm
with his and leading him gently out
Of the little frame chapel guided
him down the few steps Of the
church into the street.
