Mr. Coolidge's Week

P: Captain Adolphus Andrews, skipper of the Mayflower, wrote what was generally regarded as a tolerant finis to the incident in which two of Mr. Coolidge's Marine guards were detected in a lapse of duty. Captain Adolphus ruled that one of the men, Corporal Andrew Chantos of Cleveland, should have the benefit of certain doubts as to whether he was at fault at all. He was allowed to go scot free, and Private Clarence Key, sommolent Texan, "convicted of inefficiency and neglect of duty while on post at White Court," was sentenced to one month's confinement, to lose $21 in pay.

P: President Coolidge received over his special wire from Washington news of the Shenandoah disaster (see Page 31, AERONAUTICS). He made no comment.

From Baron von Maltzan, German Ambassador, personal friend of Commander Lansdowne of the Shenandoah, the President received both the Arbassador's personal condolence and that of his Government.

P: The President appointed Oscar Luhring of Evansville, Ind., a one- time (1919-23) Congressman, now a member of the legal staff of the Department of Labor, to the post of Assistant Attorney General.

P: Upon Calvin Coolidge called one William B. Smith, owner of White Court. According to pressmen, Mr. Smith said afterwards of his distinguished tenant: "I'd like to see him buy White Court for his summer home."

P:. The President entertained at luncheon four members of the staff of the Boston Transcript.

P: The President and Mrs Coolidge held a reception at White Court to which Union Labor heads were invited. To Swampscott buzzed limousines bearing many factotums of the Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers and rail-road Trainmen, faithful pundits of the Order of Railway Conductors and the Associated Railroad Yard-men of America, hardy potentates of the International Association of Steam Fitters and Plumbers. Mr. Coolidge had a pleasant word for those he knew, His decisive action in the Boston police strike caused some of the Union leaders to style themselves his "friendly enemies."

P: To White Court came many New Englanders. Came Charles Sumner Bird, former Progressive leader, independent in Massachusetts politics, with his son-in-law one-time (1911-13) Governor Robert P. Bass of New Hampshire. Came U. S. Marshal W. J. Kevill. Came "four or five Massachusetts friends of the President." For luncheon came four members of the staff of the Boston Globe.

P: As the President and Mrs. Coolidge prepared to return to Washington their physicians observed with satisfaction that both have benefitted greatly from the comparative rest of their vacation at Swampscott. Mrs. Coolidge, who came to White Court in a somewhat nervous condition, has avoided all social activities and reaped a reward which is clearly evident in her less tense and physically more bouyant appearance. The President has gained materially in weight; several little nervous lines have melted from his face; and he seems vigorous and alert.

P: Labor Day was spent quietly by the President and Mrs. Coolidge in celebrating the 19th birthday of their son, John.

P: The weather was inclement and disagreeable. But late in the afternoon the President and Colonel Harvey went for a walk. They were caught in a sudden drenching shower, and the summer season ended suddenly and effectually for Mr. Coolidge's straw hat. Sodden and wilted it drooped disconsolately on the way home.

P: The President announced on Labor Day that he would return to Washington on Thursday, Sept 10th, after having spent almost exactly eleven weeks at Swampscott.
