Her traveling dress was of gray printed crepe. She wore a dark blue crepe de chine coat and a blue and gray turban. The cars occupled by the President had been cooled off before departure by ice. Further relief from the heat was afforded by a shower through which the train passed near Martins. burg, W, Va. The train’s route through the night lay through a corner of Pennsylvania and northern Ohio and Indiana. VACATION DATE President responded to aving of rallroad workers RS. President to Clear Desk Swampscott Trip. Less than three weeks remain be fore President Coolldge will go Swampscott, on the north shore of Massachusetts, where he will set up a temporary White House for the remainder of the Summer. Although he has not definitely fixed the date for his departure, he has indicated that he will leave about the twenty-fifth and will return about Labor day. Regarding this long stay awa the Capital, the President has given his intimates to understand that while he expects some rest and relief from the warm weather while on the Massachusetts coast, he does not ex. pect a vacation. At least, not a real one in the strict sense of the word. It is his intention to devote a certain number of hours each day to the Government’s business and to give assurance that this is not merely a pre-vacation whim or dream, the President has acquired an entire floor Before of a large office building in Lynn, ! Mass., 3 miles away from White Court, where he and his family will live. Preparations are being made to transfer more than half of the present personnel of the executive office -here to Lynn, and there is every indica- tion that the Government's business for which Mr. Coolidge is responsible will be conducted with practically as much dispatch and ease as if he were in Washington.

More than 40 delegates attending the State Girls' Club convention here were stricken with illness late tonight. All avallable doctors were called and a generall call was sent out for nurses. The girls were stricken after a dance, which ended the activities of the evening. The intense heat and excitement is believed to have been partly responsible. although a few had symptons of ptomaine poisoning, according to physicians. A number of the girls were stricken at one time and the mat ter came to the attention of the authorities when emergency calls for docors began to come in. CAVEIN OF TRENCH KILLS GIRL, AGED 7 Child Smothers in Excavation for Water Main While Par- | ents Search for Her. COMMENTS ON Caught beneath a cave-in in a water department excavation at . Shannon place and W street southeast early |last evening. 7-vear-old Dorothy Bry- |ant was smothered to death while her parents and sisters were other parts of the neighborhood to find | why she had not come home. The father, finally acting on a per- sistent suggestion of Dorothy’s 4-vear- old sister, Elizabeth, that “Dorothy must be in the hole down the street.” disregarded the assurances of a col- ored watchman that the girl had not been there and. two hours after the cave-in, assisted police in digging out his_child’s body. The watchman, Seth Coleman, an empioye of the District water depart- ment, recalled that a dirt slide had occurred in the excavation about 5 o'clock, but said that he had not seen anyone in the trench, which is 6 feet deep. His statement as to the time of the cave-in does not coincide with the assertion of the father, Richard A. Bryant of 2227 Shannon place, that Dorothy left the supper table about 6 o'clock. The child’s mother, Mrs. Flora Bryant, was prostrated with grief at her home last night. She was under the care of Dr. Russell- K. Hollings- worth, to whose home, on avenue, the body of the girl brought. According to Mr. Bryant, Dorothy went out for an after-supper jauni. When she failed to return for her bath at the time she had been told to appear, the parents began to in- quire around the nelghborhood. Eliz- abeth, apparently suspecting! the ex- cavation, went there and later came back and said she thought her sister was “in the hole,” a place the father had forbidden his children to play. The body was first uncovered by Policeman R. Hicks of No. 5 precinct. who lives nearby, at 1102 W street: southeas.t Dr. Hollings- worth pronounced the.girl dead. .
