Years ago Maj. Henry 3.
Leonard was retired from the
Marine Corps because Of dis
ability.
In 1911 he sought to dis
continue his service with the
Marines, pointing out that the
loss of an arm prevented him
from properly fulfilling the re-
quirements of an officer of the
Devil Dogs.
The arm was lost when Major
Leonard was the only American
officer wounded in the attack
on Tientsin in the Boxer Upris-

Despite the loss Of his arm,
however, Major Leonard today

LEADER
WINS DECREE

FALLON, New, June 13 G.N.S).
Mrs. Miriam Hostetter Young,
New York and Pittsburgh social
leader, today was free of her
marital bonds.
She was granted a divorce here
at a private hearing on charges
of cruelty.
Mrs. Young attracted consider
able attention a week ago in Reno
when she swore to complaints
against her New York broker
friend, Eugene A. Bowen, charg-
ing him with assault and battery.
Bowen was found guilty and
given choice between a $50 fine
or a 25-day Jail term. He chose
the Jail.
Previous to their dispute,
Bowen had announced he would
marry Mrs. Young as soon as she
was divorced+-but she vigorously
denied this. Her immediate plans
could not be learned.

DEAD PERSONS
DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW It

MILWAUKEE,, June 13 GN.S0.
An extraordinary series of scien-
tific efforts to find out if there
is any life beyond this life and
what, exactly, it feels like to be
dead, were revealed here today
at the second session of the
annual convention of the Amer
lean Medical Association.
100 COrpses Questioned
About 100 persons who have
gone into the great beyond"-
who have been medically, biolog-
1cally and legally "dead"-have
been brought back to life and
then Systematically questioned
about their experiences on that
"other shore"
This was disclosed by DR.. Al
bert S. Hyman, of the Witkin
Foundation for the Study and Pre-
vention of Heart Disease, Beth
Israel Hospital, New York.
DR.. Hyman himself raised these
people from the dead" with his
recently devised artificial pace
maker" of the heart. In all the
patients the heart had stopped
beating for at least one minute,
and in some cases death" due to
heart inaction, had lasted as long
as 18 minutes.
Electrical Shocks Used
The instrument that revives the
dead is a huge needle with a
slender tip which is thrust into
q certain region of the heart
when it has stopped finally as a
result of disease or major sur
gical and accident shocks.
Mild electrical charges and in
5ections of various heart Stimu-
lating drugs directly into the
heart tissue, start heart action
again and in a large number of
cases has led to recovery from
death" itself.
Clergymen who have been at
tending the patients during their
''last" moments first began the
questioning of the recovered pa
tients. This gave DR.. Hyman the
AASn Va NOAACAAAAAAAS CAAC AuC0U1O11111S
Systematically, he said.
Among the recovered patients
were members of all the major
faiths in the United States. They
were asked first:
What is it like to be dead?"
Didn't Even Know 1t
In all cases, with no exceptions,
the former dead" individuals
answered that they had not
known they were dead and did
not feel or remember anything
about the experience, DR.. Hyman
said.
They we're then asked:
did you get even a glimpse
of any other life, different from
this?"
To this the answer also was
"no," in all cases.

STAMP OF COOLIDGE
MAY BE NEXT ISSUE
Recommendation by Postmaster
General Brown Is Expected to
Be Made.

A postage stamp in tribute to former
President Calvin Coolidge probably will
be the next philatelic issue of the Post
Office Department.
Second Assistant Postmaster General
W. Irving Glover last night indicated
that Postmaster General Walter F.
Brown will recommend that such a
stamp be authorized.
TT is very likely Mr. Coolidge, always
a good friend of the philatelic art, will
be honored, Gs woodrow Wilson and
William Howard Taft were honored,"
Mr.. Glover said. They also died after
leaving the presidency.
'Mr. Coolidge never was collector
of stamps, but he was exceedingly
solicitous for the welfare of the Phila-
telic Agency, and advocated co-opera-
ton between the department and COL
lectors He always was interested in
new issues, and former Postmaster
General Harry S. New made it a prac-
tice to present him with the first run
of each new specimen. The large phil
atelic collection of members of Con-
gress and others enlisted his admira-
ton"
The Postmaster General already is
receiving requests from philatelic So
cieties and individual collectors for a
special stamp in honor of Mr.. Coolidge.

PORTLAND, Greg, January T.
Warren G. Harding had been nomi-
mated for the presidency on the tenth
ballot when in the thronged Auditorium
in Chicago in 1920 the Oregon delega-
tion to the National Republican Con-
vention took the step that placed Cal
vim Coolidge in line to become the
thirtieth President of the Nation.
The Oregon delegation went to the
convention pledged to support Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, for the vice
presidency. But it was said Lodge did
not care for the nomination.
After the candidates. of Gen. Leon
ard A Wood, Frank o. Lowden and
Hiram johnson had been checkmated,
the Harding forces selected Senator
Irving Lenroot of Wisconsin for the
vice presidency. His name was put in
nomination.
Meanwhile the Oregon group had
decided to support Gov. Coolidge of
Massachusetts. Judge Wallace Nc
Camant Of Portland climber to a chair.
He obtained recognition from Senator
Lodge, permanent chairman, who be-

Instead, McCamant nominated Cool

FIRM IN HANDLING
CONGRESS KNOTS
Vetoes of Equalization, Mus
Gle Shoals and Bonus
Measures Recalled.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated PreSS.
Though Calvin Coolidge as President
managed to maintain relationship
with Congress which on the whole was
peaceful. he had his dif1cultieS with
the legislative body. as have all Presa-
dents. His most important clashes with
Congress were marked by vetoes Of the
equalization plan OF farm relief, the
proposed Government operation Of
Muscle Shoals and the soldiers bonus
bill.
Through the medium Of the famous
White House breakfasts Of ham and
eggs and control of patronage the
former Chief Executive managed to
keep his relations with regular mem
bers of the Republican party in Con-
gress largely peaceful. The bolting Of
insurgents, however, led during the
early part Of his administration by the
late Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
broke into the party ranks time after
time.
Bonus Action Rebuked.
The bonus question came to President
Coolidge after President Harding had
vetoed it and had been upheld by the
Senate. When the measure was passed
again and sent to the White House
Mr.. Coolidge slapped back at Congress
with sharp denunciaticn.
The fight was futile, however. as
the House overrode the veto 3l3, to
T8, and the Senate. SO to 26.
One of the Presidents most spec
tacular battles with Congress came over
his nomination Of Charles Beecher
Warren as Attorney General.
The Senate rejected the nomination,
but Coolidge. his ire up, refused the
needing of his party leaders and re-
turned the nomination. 1t was during
this furious maneuvering that the
nomination was called up for action
and again turned down, with Vice
President Dawes arriving just too late
with the deciding vote.
Veto of Bonus Bill
Besides approving a measure mate
rally easing the tax burden which hung
upon the Nation after the war, Mr..
Coolidge vetoed the bonus bill as an
act Of economy, curtailed naval con-
struction and vetoed bill to increase
the pay of postal employees.
All these actions were based upon
his demands for curtailing expenditures.
He later signed the postal pay measure
after means Of providing the revenue
had been incorporated.

The funeral procession, some of the
way, will run along with Black River,
where Mr.. Coolidge loved to fish, and
along Amherst and Echo Lakes, where
for days men who hold their lines
through the ice have been pulling up
pickerel and perch.
The men of the town, many OF
whom grew up with Mr.. Coolidge
seemed impressed that a great neigh
Dor had passed, but in their stolid and
undemonstratiye way they said little
except to reminisce of days when they
and the man who is dead, roamed the
towering hills together.
Herbert Moore, a distant relative OF
the former President on the maternal
side, spoke of the time when he at
tended Black River Academy in Ludlow
with Mr.. Coolidge.
He was just as quiet then as he
was in later years" he said.
Moore said he remembered the time
when he first went to Black River.
"I rode down with Calvin and his
father" he said. The father. John
was making two trips in one and he
had a calf in the back of the wagon

IMPORTANCE ATTACHED TO JOB
BURDENSOME, COOLIDGE FOUND
Every Act and Every Word Had to Be
Weighed Carefully-Travel Presents
Grave Problem for Executive.

Each word has to be weighed, in the
realization that it Is presidential ut
terance. which will be disSected at home
and abroad to discover its outward
meaning and possible hidden implica-
tions. Before each address was fin
ished It was thoroughly examined by
one or two Of my staff. and oftentimes
by member of the Cabinet.
Easy to Deliver Talks.
1t was not difficult for me to deliver
an address. The difficulty lay in its
preparation. This is an important part
of the work OF a President which he
cannot escape. 1t is inherent IN the
Office.
AS I left Office I realized that the
more I had seen of the workings Of
the Federal Government the more re-
spect I came to have for 1t. It Is car
ried on by hundreds of thousands OF
people. Some prove incompetent. A
very few are tempted to become dis
loyal to their trust. But the great rank
and file of them are of good ability,
conscientious and faithful public serv-
ants. While some are paid more than
they would earn in private life. great
throngS are serving at distinct per-
Sonal Sacrlflce. Among the h1gher ofn-
cials this is almost always true. The
service they perform entities them to
appreciation and honor.
The Congress has sometimes been a
sore trial to Presidents. I did not find
it so. Among its members were men
of wonderful ability and veteran ex-
perience. I think they make their
decisions with an honest purpose to
serve their country.
The membership of the Senate
changes very much by reason of those
who sacrifice themselves for public
duty. OF the duties of all public Off
cials with whom have ever been ac-
quainted, the work of Senator of the
United States is by far the most labori-
GUS. About 20 of them died during the
eight years was in Washington.
