For his long and successful labors in public office he had the best possible reward in the possession of the trust and con- fidence of the people to a degree rarely, if ever, equaled in the lives of American statesmen. Charles Gates Dawes, Vice President during the Coolidge administration— The loss is irreparable. The news of his death is a great shock. Roy O. West, secretary of the Re-| publican National Committee in 1924 and President Coolidge’s Secretary of | Interior—Mr. Coolidge’s beneficient in- | fluence will live and live.

Just this afternoon I received a personal letter written in his own hand. I am deeply grieved. Thomas A. Buckner, president of the New York Life Insurance Co.—The | death of Calvin Coolidge is an incalcu- | lable loss to all the people of the United States and a shocking blow to the di- rectors and officers of the New York | Life Insurance Co. Mr. Coolidge ac- | cepted a directorship in this company | shortly after the expiration of his term | of office as President of the United | States. In becoming a member of our | board he stated he wished to render a | public service to the holders of life in- | surance policies. No man could have | | been more faithful to his trusteeship. | |During the four years in which he served as a director he was absent from | board meetings only twice. Mr. Cool- |idge gave the same careful, thoughtful consideration to the interests and wel- | tays as the years advanced. Coolidge apparently was prepar- ng to shave yesterday when he was stricken with the heart attack that caused his death, Ross sald. His coat was off when Mrs. Coolidge found him on his dressing room floor. “Mr. Coolidge and I went downtown this morning and returned about 10 o'clock,” Ross said. “We sat in the library chatting about nothing in par- fare of the small policyholder that he gave to he most important affairs of the Nation, which he served with such sig- | | nal ability as President | | _ Nicholas Murray Butler—Having seen | Mr. Coolidge but & few days ago in ap- parently most excellent health and spirits, the news of his sudden death | comes'as a tremendous shock.

According to Smith, Mr. Coolidge walked down into’the cellar about 11:50. “I was in the cellar taking care of the furnace when Mr. Coolidge ap- peared,” Smith said. “He had a habit of walking around the house and there was nothing unusual in his visit to the cellar. I don’t think we exchanged gle word, unless he possibly said ’ That was the last time I saw The only persons in the house, other than Mrs. Coolidge and the secretary, were household servants, the cook, Mrs. Bessie Bryson, and the maid, Lillian Nelligan. Guards were placed about the house to bar intruders, but there was a steady rtream of messengers arriving with elegrams of condolence to Mrs. Cool- dge Will Halt Business. All banks in the city will be closed tomorrow and the shades on all stores will be drawn during the hours of the services. All social events have been canceled for tonight and tomorrow, in- cluding the annual benefit ball of the National Guard company here. Police made their plans for the fu- peral tomorrow and announced that all traffic will be diverted away from | the church and a considerable area will be roped off to prevent pedestrians and vehicles from entering. Gov. Joseph B. Ely sent a cluster of flowers to the Coolidge home, on which was the State flag of Massachusetts The General Court also sent a floral tribute. The House of Representatives and the Senate chose delegates to attend the funeral services. The House cele- getion will be headed by Speaker Sal- tons'2ll, and President Fish will head removes a towering human landmark | from the Nation he served so well. He was a great, unique figure in our public life. To those who have served with | him in the crises of his national career he will always remain a symbol of the | Americanism’ that inherited the purest strain of our forefathers. Gen. John J. Pershing—He stood for all the fine things in American life. His faith in America was sublime. His high-mindedness, his sound judgment and his fearlessness were outstanding placidity. Our temperamental swings from high hopes to extreme despair his level common sense, seasoned always with a touch of humor. In these days of loss of faith in leaders our trust in him re- mained unimpaired. It is not so much what he would have done, however great, as what he stood for in Amer- jca, that has been irreparably taken away. James M. Cox, Democratic presiden- tial nominee in 1920—Calvin Coolidge was a striking figure, chiefly because he was so different from the presidential type. His chief characteristics were his quaint mannerisms and his con- ception of life, inherited from a long provincial ancestry. Thrift, honesty, | unwavering political partisanship, pa- triotism and purity in private life— these homely qualities, as deeply rooted | in the character of these people of the foothills and valleys, as granite in the | Vermont mountains, were the conspic- uous things about Coolidge. Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Ifterior in the Coolidge cabinet—He was our first citizen, as President and in his retirement. No other occupled a similar, peculiar place of confidence in the hearts of the American people. Intellectually and morally honest, with the keenest insight into human nature, he was rarely mistaken in men and measures and his administration as President of the United States speaks for itself, that all may understand. Former Senator William M. Butler, director of Calvin Coolidge’s campaign for the presidency—The news of the death of Calvin Coolidge comes to me with such a shock that I find it difficult to express tribute to him as a public man. He was upright and conscien- tious in every relation of life. He pos- sessed rare ability. He was a man of wisdom. In public life he was devoted to the public service. He had no other thought. His every care was to be just. He had a rare appreciation of people. He seemed to know of what they were | thinking. and had respect for their de- sires. He won their regard and confi- dence to a remarkable degree. Frank B. Kellogg, Secretary of State under Coolidge—He was a.great patri- otic American and a great President. I know of no man who had a higher sense of loyalty and devotion to his country and to public service. He was just the man to guide the Nation through the stormy period following the Great War. | He was a trained public man. He had vision and knew the needs of the coun- ry. Dr. Stanley King, president of Am- herst College, of which Coolidge was a graduate and trustee—Mr. Coolidge was the most distinguished alumnus of Am- herst College and was devoted to its in- terests. He graduated in 1895 and has been a trustee since 1921. He has brought to the deliberations of the board the calm judgment and“the com- mon sense, amounting to genius, which were his characteristics. Gov. Gifford Pinchot—Millions will be shocked by the death of Calvin Cool- idge. His passing marks the close of an epoch in American history. Millions mourn his loss. Will Rogers—I'm all broké up. He had something on the ball the rest of ‘em didn’t have. I don’t know what it was. Mebbe it was economy or states- manship or just plain Americanism, but whatever it was he had it. I guess I made more jokes about him than any- body else, but underneath every one of them was an expression of my own ad- miration for the man. I guess he knew that, too. Ambassador Andrew W. Mellon— Word of the death of Mr. Coolidge brings to me a distinct feeling of per- sonal loss, as I have learned to have a high esteem and affection for him and admiration of the sterling qualities of his character and goodness of heart. Coming in the vigor of his activity and influence, the country sustains indeed a grievous loss. The impress of his ex- ample and the wide and deep influence of his acts and writings will remain a \'l]ilued heritage with the American peo- ple. Gov. Albert C. Ritchie—I am sincerely sorry to hear of the sudden death of former President Coolidge. I think the people of the country had a very real underlying fondness for him and had confidence in his common sense ap- proach to public questions. His many excellent qualities and his experience will be very greatly missed now in help- ing to soive the perplexing problems which confront the Nation. John Garibaldi Sargent, friend of Calvin Coolidge for many years and At- torney General under him—The Nation has lost a great statesman and the people of this country a true friend He had the very highest respect for the office of President of the United States and sought in every way to exhibit that respect in his own conduct and to de- mand its observance in others Dwight F. Davis, Secretary of War in the Coolidge cabinet—More than any other public man of our time Calvin Coolidge sensed the public mind. His sound common sense, homely philosophy and upright character endeared him to the American people. He inspired con- fidence and respect to an unusual de- gree. He possessed steadying qualities needed in these unsettled days and his death is a shock to the whole country. President Rodriguez of Mexico—I pro- foundly regret'the death of his excel- lency Calvin Coolidge, dignified former President of your friendly Nation. I wish to extend my condolences to your excellency and to the American people. C.

It is the second time in the single term of President Hoover that the | clety has been subdued by death of a ‘Icrm_er President. Early in 1930 the i passing of William Howard Taft, but | shortly retired from the chief justice- ! ship, ‘suspended all functions for the | Winter. | The period from January to Lent | sees virtually all of the really formal functions of the White House. The 30-day mourning period proclaimed by the President yesterday, swept from the social slate five events and possibly a sixth which falls within the week on which the mourning period will close. They are: January 12, Vice President's dinner; January 19, diplomatic dinner; Janu- ary 24, Senate; January 26, dinner to the Chief Justice and the Supreme Court; February 2, reception to members of the House of Representatives, and, pos- sibly, February 9, the Speaker’s dinner.

Hoover Pays Tribute. | This obeisance to the dead was be-! spoken by the Chief Executive in the | name of all the people.
