TROTzKY'S SAFETY
IN EXILE SOUGHT
Dispatch Says Pasha Would
Force Him to Live on Rus
sian Territory.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 2.-The Daily
Express this morning printed dispatch
from Moscow today which said that
although Leon Trotzky, deposed Soviet
leader, would be exiled from Russia, he
would be forced to reside on Russian
territory.
This situation arises from fear of
Mustafa Kemal Pasha. President of
Turkey, that Trotzky might be assassi-
mated while in Turkey and international
complications ensue.
To prevent such happening he has
notified the Soviet government that
Turkey will consent to Trotzky's living
within its borders only IL he will reside
in Angora, instead of Constantinople
and will be provided quarters at the
Soviet embassy, which is regarded by a
rational law as an integral part of
Russia.
Guards Are Suggested.
The former war chief would be al
lowed to leave the embassy grounds only
when accompanied by two guards, one
of them attached to the embassy itself
and the other an employe of the Turk
ish government.
In addition the Turkish president has
insisted, 1t is said, upon a written agree
ment stipulating these conditions of
residence and stating specifically that
there his responsibility ends.
Decision Taken January 8.
The dispatch says that the decision
to Danish Trotzky was taken January
s. On January IL a proclamation was
issued by Trotzky adherents to Com
munists, declaring among other things
that their leaders life was in danger,
that the world revolution was in
jeopardy, that the economic situation
was going from bad to worse, that work.
ers were starving, and that hundreds of
loyal active workers were being exiled.
The Express dispatch made no note
of reports published in Berlin yester-
day that after short stay In Turkey
Trotzky probably would take up his
residence near Berlin and write his
memoirs

COOLIDGE TO WASHINGTON, Feb
ruary 2.-Having dedicated to the

singing tower established at Mountain
Lake, Fla, by Edward w. Box, President
Coolidge travelled northward today
bound for Washington and the end of
what is expected to be his last journey
away from the National Capital during
his term of Office.
The general public was not permitted
to be present at the trains departure
and Of the many thousands who heard
the dedication speech only compare
lively few managed to elude the Marine
guard and be present when the train
left.
Taking for his theme growing ap-
probation OF aft and the beautiful in
the United States, Mr.. Coolidge pictured
new era in American life which Is
bringing to the masses privileges and
advantages once enjoyed only by a few.
He cited free education as the basis OF
this movement, with public concerts and
art galleries as q helping influence.
Text Of Address.
President Coolidge spoke as follows:
OuT country II giving dL luCIcdSuis
amount of attention to art. We have
reached time when our people have
more leisure for enjoyment and more
means for gratifying their taste. Even
during its colonial history it was not
without some progress In this direction.
Very early. 1t produced painters OF his
toric merit Some of the architecture
of the eighteenth century continues to
hold a very high place, but with the
exception Of a. few public buildings
these creations were for private use
and reached but a few people.
while the United States has been
by no means lacking in spiritual vision,
and, considering the circumstances of
it's surroundings, has been remarkable
in the devotion of its religious life, yet,
being new and undeveloped, it has been
necessary for our people first of all to
give their attention to the material side
of existence. We have been forced to
get things done. We have been required
to build cities, improve harbors, open
mines, cut down forests, lay out great
systems of transportation, till the soil,
erect factories. open banks and develop
commerce. We have been making q
new nation out Of raw materials. What
others have done in many centuries

PARIS, February Marshal Ferdi-
nand Foch, who had been slowly re-
covering from an illness due to heart
trouble and kidney complications, has
had a second setback.
He developed another center of con-
gestion in the lungs overnight and there
was an air of uneasiness about his

They explained that this second spot

creased this morning and presumably

first spot of congestion noticed several
days ago.
The marshal has slightly less fever
than yesterday, but when his five doc
tors left shortly after their midday con-
sultation they appeared rather less
cheerful than yesterday, although they
said no word that might indicate they
had altered their opinion that the
touch of grip was mere incident In
his illness which would run its course

Ten Deaths Laid

Burned i'm Home.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUCKHANNON, w. Va, February 2.
"A can of blasting powder, placed in
front OF an open CRATE to dry, was be-
lieved to be the cause of 10 persons
being burned to death shortly after
midnight. Their dwelling was razed.
The blaze practically wiped out an
entire family. Those dead are: Pete
Shines, SO, a miner; his wife and seven
children, Soloman, II; Hiram, IA;
Earnest, 10; Harold, 8; Mabel, 4, and
Ida Jane, 2; a married daughter, Mrs.
Troy Gibson, and he'd 3-month old in
FAINT. Mrs. Gibson's husband escaped
with severe burns.
AS the fire ragged firemen stood help
lessly by, there being no water to combat
the flames. The dwelling was located
on the outskirts of Buckhannon beyond
the hydrant zone.
Neighbors told fire officials that an
explosion preceded the fire. This gave
rise to the belief Shines was drying out
powder for his work in the coal mines.
Gibson was unable to tell a coherent
story, shock and body burns being so
severe as to cause his name to be placed
on the dangerously injured list at a
hospital.

past election he went to the Ohio city
to arrange to cast his vote for the Re-
publican candidate. There some con-

A few days later AFFIDAVIT forms and
other required papers for voting by
