White House Guest for Two
Months in 1924.
Had Made Her Home With
Daughter Since Death
of Her Husband.

BY the Associated Press.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, October IS.
A little old lady who went to the
White House In 1924 to see her son-in-
law inaugurated President has found
release from two years illness. Her
daughter, Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, was at
the bedside when the end came early
last night.
OF sturdy New England stock, Mrs.
Lemira Goodhue remained intensely in
terested in the lives of her distinguish
ed kinsfolk. She spent two months at
the White House after the inaugura-
ton. Entering a hospital here in De-
cember, 1927, after an influenza attack,
she remained mentally active despite
the infirmities of illness and old age.
She was 80 years old.
Made Daily Visit.
Several times Mrs. Coolidge was sum-
moned hurriedly from the White House
to her mothers bedside Since the
Coolidges' return to Northampton she
has visited the hospital daily. The for
mer President was at the hospital yes
terday.
Mrs. Goodhue was the widow of Capt.
Andrew Goodhue, a Lake Champlain
steamboat inspector, and for many
years lived in Burlington, VT. She was
born In Nashua, N H. After her hus-
bands death. in 1929 she sold her home
and moved to Northampton to live in
the Coolidge home.
In recent years Mrs. Goodhue was
regular attendant of the Edwards Con-
greeational Church, walking the dis
tance of a mile from her home invari-
ably every Sunday. Before her illness
she took daily walks, accompanied by
her dog Beans" a Boston terrier, a
gift from the White House.
Only One Daughter.
The only child of Capt. and Mrs.
Goodhue was Grace. In addition to
Mrs. Coolidge, sister, Mrs. John r.
Hasel of Roxbury, Mass, and a grand
son, John Coolidge Of Hartford, Conn.,,
survive.
Capt. Goodhue died in 1928 at the
age of IS.
Since Mrs. Coolidges return from
Washington, on March 5, she left
Northampton only once, and the former
President had said they would make no
plans to take them from the city as
long as the condition of Mrs. Goodhue
remained unchanged.

FIGHT IS CONTINUED
ON TARIFF ON DYES
Controversial Matter EnIiv-
ems Senate Session After
Long Debate Yesterday.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senate tariff consideration today en-
braced another controversial rate sched-
ule in the duty to be imposed upon i'm
ported dyes.
The issue of American valuation had
a part in the contest, with opponents
of the rates proposed aligned generally
against this basis for determination of
imposts on dyestuffs.
Debate extended to the dyestuffs
levles after the farmer had received
overwhelming support in conflict with
industry over the rate to be fixed upon
casein.
Tariff Rate Boosted.
This commodity. a product of skim
med milk, used extensively as a finish
for glossy book paper, was given tariff
of 5la cents, in contrast to the 21a-
cent-per pound levy of existing law
recommended in the House meas
ure. The Senate finance committee had
proposed rate of 3l2 cents.
Twenty-seven Democrats and 25 Re-
pubIicanS joined IN defeatlng II RepuD-
licans and , Democrats to write the
higher rate into the bill.
Senators Blaine, Wisconsin, and
Borah, Idaho, both Republicans, were
leaders in the campaign for the higher
rate, while the opposing view was cham
pioned by Senators Vandenberg of Mich
igan and Gillett of Massachusetts. also
Republicans, who eontended the in
crease would ruin the coated paper man
ufacturers.
Other Rates Fixed.
Five other chemical schedule rates
were approved before the close of the
day. This action would reduce four
tariffs and place crude chicle, now du-
table at 10 cents pound, on the free
list.
The refined chicle tariff, under the
rates agreed to, would be reduced to S
cents pound from Is cents, chloro-
form duties from 6 to cents a pound.
carbon tetrachloride from 2I2 cents to
l cent pound, and the rate on tetra-
chloroethane and trichlorothylene from
35 per cent to 25 per cent. The last
two changes were recommended by the
Senate finance committee.

Those persons arrested after the 1st

recent decision of the court judges to

as has been the rule in the past.
Assistant United States Attorneys
David A. Hart and James r. kirkland
said today that there are approximately
200 cases waiting to be tried by juries,
some of which are almost two years old.
They estimated that an average of four

are increased facilities for trying pro-

The new system of arraigning the de-
PENDANTS in chronological order was de-
cided upon at recent meeting of the
Police Court judges. The old system OF
trying those which were considered
most important first, instead of trying
the oldest, has resulted in large num-

said that under the old order it was
not infrequent for defendants who we're
unable to make bond to remain in Jail

we're sidetracked by more important
ones.

The oldest untried case recorded at

into consideration that from 10 to is

NATIONS BUSINESS
BELIEVED SOUND
Unofficial Opinion in Wash
ington Optimistic in Face
of Stock Slump.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Oficial Washington kept o watchful
eye OF. Wall Street today and expressed
the optimistic, If unoficial. opinion that
the disastrous lump in security prices
need have no depressing effect upon the
genera business structure of the Nation.
The view was advanced in many
quarters that the stock market break was
in no way q reflection of any factor In
the business world and that the latter
is at present upon such a sound eco
nomic basis that there should be no fear
of general depression.
Many attempts were made to con-
strue the action of the Federal Reserve
Board in meeting late yesterday, with
Secretary Mellon attending. and ad-
journing without the announcement of
a changed rediscount rate or of any
other step which might affect the situ-
alton in Wall Street
From this was drawn the view that
the board either considers the crisis
past or shares the general opinion that
business will be unaffected by the Sc
curity decline.
Present Situation FOreseen.
1t was pointed out that for months
the highly speculative condition of the
stock market has been beyond reaction
to ordinary and normal influences from
the field of actual business. Moreover,
it was asserted that the present situ-
alton had been foreseen by virtually all
credit institutions some time ago, with
the result that precautions were taken
fA LAsr
break actually arrived.
In the absence Of Secretary Lamont.
Grosvenor Jones, director of the finance
division Of the Commerce Department,
summed up his view Of the situation
with the assertion that the market can
no longer be considered q barometer of
prosperity.
The departments indexes show, he
continued, that business is in a healthy
condition. He asserted that business
has not reflected the various turns of
the market in its upward climb and
that the sudden crash Of market values
should be diSregarded b. the business
man.
May Benefit Business.
In addition, he expressed the view
that the slump may prove benefit to
business. II stock prices reach a nor
NAL basis and cling to it, he said, much
OF the money that was drawn into Wall
street by the recent and unprecedented
bull market will be turned back into the
usual business channels and give the
smaller industries throughout the coun-
try improved credit facilities at easier
rates
The situation in Wall street drew

posal for q congressional investigation
