The Concord Daily Tribune K NOtf TO CALL SPECIAL * SESSION OF CONGRESS. * K * ¥. (By the Associated Press). Washington, Aug. 14.—President * Coolidge lit the present time sees W; It no occasion for u special session of 4t of Congress in advance of the reg- Sit uiar December meeting, it was' said Sit Sit offiFially today at the White Horn**. Sit * Si: to************* THE FORTUNES OF PRESIDENTS. Coolidge Not the Poorest President Who Eever Entered’ the White House. Washington, I). C, Aug. 14.—The Statement the j«>ore4t;;mn n who ever entered the White. Rouse is, contradicted bv the known facts in the lives of some of his predecessors; £he new President, as' is well known, is a man of very moderate means, but there have been other Presidents who were equally lacking in worldly goods, and sev eral who unquestinnbbl.v were poorer off than he. Lincoln was a poor man when he was elected President, and had - he lived to serve out his term he would perhaps have retired worth only a few hundred dollars more than when he entered. Both he and. Mrs. Lincoln were very liberal and gave away a great deal of money to people in distress. Another poor man elected to the pres idency was McKinley. He was not only poor, hut was in debt. By frugal man agement and the assistance of friends he was accumulating money when the as sassin's bullet ended his life. James Monroe entered the White House a very poor man. and lie, retired almost penniless. He lived well, but not extravagantly, while President, and he died so poor that he was buried at the expense of relatives. It - took just 162 words to tell in his will what he wished done with the few dollars he left. On the other hand, the most of the Presidents have been comfortably fixed financially, and some of them exceedingly rich, according to the standard of their times. George Washington, for instance, had so much money and property to dis pose of that his wilt covered twenty closely written pages, and if put into type would make five columns of nu or dinary newspaper. Tan Buren was so wealth’y that he did jiot trpuble himself tq draw his salary jjpi-, til the expiration of his four years, when he signed for an even SIOO,OOO. When he died he left a fortune of nearly half a million dollars. John Adams died moderately well off, leaving about $75,000. His son. John Quincy Adams, died a rich man. He owned immense properties in Boston and Washington. Polk, Fillmore and Pierce were all rich men when elected Presi dent. -Polk left an estate valued at $150,000. Fillmore was always frugal and added to his savings by marrying a woman of wealth, and was worth about $200,000. Pierce's estate was valued at about $50,000. Thomas Jefferson, according to his tory, always put on a large amount of style and was rated as a very rich man, but in his old age he was reduced to hard-pan and "died so poor that if Con gress had not purchased his library at $20,000 he would have been a pauper. James Madisou had a good bank account and considerable real estate when he be came President, and it had not dwindled perceptibly when he retired. Andrew Jackson was another who was comforta bly rich when he was chosen President. Buchanan was • wealthy, too, as' was also Andrew Johnson, but the latter was im poverisluKl before death by assuming the debtN of his son. William Henry Harrison saved a goodly portion of his salary as President.. This grand-srtn. Benjamin Harrison, was likewise economical and died worth about $50J)00. John Tyler added to his wealth by marrying a rich woman. Cleve land was a poor man when he entered the White House, but was quite wealthy at the conclusion of his second term. Grant managed to accumulate considerable mon ey while in the presidency), but lost his fortune in the Grant & Ward failure. Hayes was always frugal apd .added to his fortune, while Garfield wa% only mod erately well off.' Roosevelt had a sub stantial-competence. Taft was comforta bly well off, while Wilson has royalties i from his books and his second wife is ’a i woman of wealth. Mr. Harding, aeord tiug to report. was worth between $750,000 : aud $1,000,000. Arthur was the most ex ! travagant or Presidents and left only a moderate fortuite.

Harris, of Wake, has suggested what he believes Will be a successful substitute for flog ging as a means of disciplining prisoners. Senator Harris was one of the most interested persons attending the discus sions of administration of county penal instiutions at the welfare inptitutes at Chapel Hill. He has come out flat footed in opposition to corporal punish ment. / ‘ • This substitute, according to Senator Harris, would mean that the infraction of prison rules be made a misdemeanor by law, and that if, after receiving hid maximum sentence, a prisoner should •break these rules he could he tried be fore a court and given an additional sentence.

M ashington, Aug. 12.—A rough road opens ahead of President Coolidge from the moment he takes possesison of his hew Executive Offices in the White House tomorrow. Probably in the re alization of the stormy times ahead, the President spent a comparatively quiet Sunday. He began the day with a brisk half lmur walk about the ellipse south of the White House, breakfasted and then at tended services at the First Congrega tional Church. The afternoon wnf given over to necessary duties. Among the visitors who called on the Pfesidenr were Chief Justice Taft. In the evening Egiiffident Coolidge took an automobile ride and retired early. Republican leaders rare assembling in Washington and it is expected many important political conferences will be held during the week. These will deal mostly with the future of the Republican party and the part president Coo|idge 4® ls - While tlie administra tion begins with evidences of friendli ness on the part of the leaders, it is realized that this is ijot necessarily pro phetic of the future ami that develop ments may come quickly. It is assumed that President Coolidge will seek to suc ceed himself in his office and it is ac knowledged he has the point of vantage in the race. Whether he will succeed or fail wjll depend upon himself, and probably no one realizes this bettor than the Chief Executive. The ten months interven ing before the next Republican conven tion is a long time politically, but a very brief time in which to write a record of achievement. While the President has an absolute ly clean slate before him, there is much to write upon it. ' In international af fairs the Executive fares a heavy bur den. His course in this respect will have its reflection upon domestic politics HARDING LEFT BULK OF ESTATE TO HIS U'IDOW Will Drafted Bequests Just Before He Started on His Trip to Alaska. Washington. Airg. 14.—. President Harding was worth about three-quarters of a million dollars at (lie time of his death, and most of Hhis will go to Mrs. Florence King Harding, his widow. Mr. Harding made a new will not long before he left Washington for Alaska last June! and placed all his personal affairs in such shape that in the event of his failure to return * alive they would give hjs widow the least con cern and worry.- . % The Harding will is not to he tiled in Washington for the reason that he owns no property here except personal effects at tihe White House and funds in bank- Itl was learned tonight that the will is to be filed at Million. Ohio, probable during the coming Week and that it will be probated' in the old court house in that city. It makes Mrs. Harding the chief beneficiary. She will not receive the entire estate, as there are some minor bequests to persons Mr. Harding wished to remember in this way. Mrs Harding is not a rich woman but she has a considerable estate of her own. The principal item in the estate of the late President is his share in the proceeds of the recent sale of the Marvou Star, in which he owned a controlling inte-est until lie disposed of it before his departure for Alaska. The making of his new will, the sale of his control in the Marion Star, the deeding away of his recently purchased farm near Bloom ing Grove. Ohio, where lie lived as a boy and the reorganization of his financial investments were all undertaken by Mr. Harding just before he started for Alaska, as part of his plan for putting his house in order in anticipation ot the possibility that he might never return alive. The price paid for The Marion '•tar by those who bought it was $535.00(1. The President's share in the proceeds of the sal? was $423,000. There were some other stockholders, whose interests were disposed vs at the same time, who re ceived the difference between the sale price and what went to Mr. Harding.

Efforts are being made to induce him to postpone any definite foreign policy, leaving that to the next Republican con vention to determine in its major as pects. But the stress of world affairs probably will not permit such a pro gram, even if it fitted with the attitude of the new President. Tt is realized that there is a constant menace in the increasing difficulties of Europe and the pressure upon the Presi dent to use the influence of the United States at .once to seek a solution of the Ruhr difficulty will be tremendous. Other foreign problems that will confront him will be the Mexican negotiations, the disturbed conditions in Cuba and the row between Governor General Wood and the Filipino leaders. In domestic politics the pressure for an extra session is one with which the I’resident will have to deal. That de cision will mark his attitude toward the political movement, centering in Minne apolis, which resulted recently in, the election of Mangos Johnson to the Sen ate as a Farmer-labor candidate. While there is a disposition among the Republican leaders to give the new President whatever support is necessary to make, his administration a success, it is acknowledged the present situation is more or less of an armed truce. The real development of the political picture as it affects the President wlil come affier Congress convened. The Progressives, acknowledging La Follejtte as leader, and those who lean toward Johnson have had all their plans upset by the change in Presidency. La Fol lette is in Europe, while Johnson is menacingly silent. Just now the President has his polit ical opponents guessing because he has not shown his hand. But this position of advantage cannot be maintained long and his first message to Congress will be the signal for the opening of the 1924 Presidential campaign. SAYS DANCING PENDULUM IS SWINGING BACK TO DECENCY Wriggling, Jazz)- Dancing Is Losing Its Popularity. (By the Associated Press.) Los Angeles, Aug. 14.—Wriggling, squirming, jazzy dancing is losing its popularity in nearly every part of the United States, and modesty, * propreety and reserve are coming back in the dance hulls, according to Fenton Bott, national director of dance reform, who attended the summer session of the -normal school of American National Association of Dancing Masters here. The touching of faces, semi-embrace* and excess of muscular response to over done syncopation are now taboo in vir tually every dance hall in America, said Mr. Bott. Men and women have swung back to the human normal of propriety and good taste, he said." “The most undesirable of jazz dancing was the result of adding a dreamy ori ental atmosphere to highly syncopated music,” continued Mr. Bott. 1 "It is al most impossible' properly to supervise dancing when the time of the selection is .broken up by a great number, of beats. When the jazziest of music is played, it is hardly possible for the dancers not to respond. “Improper deportment on the floors of dancing schools ,-yid public halls has be come a rarity in the last three years. The campaign conducted by the National- Association of Dancing Masters for clean dancing is partly responsible for the change. It also is to be credited to the people themselves. "Private clubs and cases cases have been beyond the influence of the associa tion. and in these privileged places jazz dancing in the'■'extreme may still pre vail, but the bulk of the nation's danc ers, those who attend schools and public halls, are dancing with as much modesty, propriety and reserve as ever .was seen ip the days of the waltz, polka, sohot tische and their.running mates. "The waltz will never be dropped and the two-step is still with us in the fox trot, but I believe what is known as the new school of dancing has come to stay. "The west has adopted the reform more quickly; and perhaps more thoroughly tlmu the east.” Miners Accept Invitation. (By Ihe Associated Press.) Atlantic City, N. J.. Aug. 14.—John L.

PDEPARING ANSWER unUisn REPARATIONS NOTE Premier Poincare Will Take Up Note Point by Point and Give French Views on Each One. WILL SEND REPLY * IN NEAR FUTURE Reply Expected to Show That Attitude of the French Has Not Been Changed on the Reparations. so* Paris. Aug. 14 (By the Associated Press).—Premier Poincare, who will re turn to Paris tonight, has informed his collaborators at the foreign office that he intends "in the most courteous man ner possible” to reply ]stint by point to the note of Lord Curzon, British secre tary of foreign affairs, trn the reparations question. Although the reply will be courteous, it is asserted in foreign office circles that it will be a stout reaffirma tion of the French viewpoint and a flat rejection of British suggestions. The reply will be sent as soon as pos sible, probably before the end of the week. Although it is no longer assumed in official quarters here, that the entente may survive the present difference, the situation is taken with perfect calm in government circles as well as by the press am| the public. The French have, in fact, long considered the entente as vir tually defunct so far as concerns co-op eration between England and France on the aplication of the terms of the treatv of Versailles. Lord Chrzon's note is taken merely as a public recognition of that fact by the German government, with the aim of throwing the responsibility for the rup ture on France. Premier Poincare, it is understood, will carefully omit anything that might be taken as a denunciation of the entente, leaving the initiative in the tinal rupture to .the British government. If Prime Minister Baldwin decides to call an in ternational conference to fix Germany’s capacity to pay, that action will be taken by the French, it is forecast, as an un friendly act, which will end the cordial relations that hnv# existed for near.-20 years.

If Prime Minister Baldwin decides to call an in ternational conference to fix Germany's capacity to pay, that action will be tak en by the French, it is forecast, as an unfriendly act, which will end the cordial relations that have existed for nearly 25 years.
