BOY RECOVERS LOST BICYCLE LOUIS RICHARDSON LOSES WHEEL HERE LAST NIGHT Louis G. Richardson, 12 year old son of Mr. and Mrs, Will Rich- ardson, had the misfortune to lose his bicycle last night. He was fortunate this morning in recov- ering it. Louis went to visit his grand- mother, Mrs, Annie E. Richardson at 1207 Olivia street. When he started to leave he just reached the door in time to see a young man jump on the wheel and ride off. Running after the thief Louis called on him to stop, but re- ceived no obedience. The one on the bike turned into Francis street and cried to.a companion to “hop on’. This the other did and they both rode off. This morning it was reported to Chief Ivan Elwood that there was a bicycle hidden down on Greene street near the water front. The chief secured the wheel. He ad- visd young Richardson of the re- covery. Louis identified it and in a short while the youngster was gladdened by the return of his much prized bicycle.

L By SIGRID ARNE WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—The death of Calvin Coolidge adds the sixth to the number of widows of chief executives who still survive their husbands. The widows of former presidents inelude Mrs. Benjamin Harrison and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, both now living in New York; Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, Jr., (formerly Mrs. Grover Cleveland), of Prince- ton, N. J.; Mrs. William H. Taft and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson of Washington and Mis. Coolidge. As is considered befitting the dignity of their position, these wo- | men have dropped back to civil life with a determination to avoid publicity. They have accom-j plished their purpose so well that it comes as. somewhat of a surprise to many to learn, for instance, that Mrs. Harrison still survives her husband. She was his second wife, a niece of his first wife. Never “First Lady” Mrs. Mary Scott Dimmick Har- rison, as she calls herself to dis- tinguish from the first Mrs. Har- rison, never occupied the White; House as first lady, but she lived; there two years attending her aunt. She married Mr. Harrison in 1896, three years after his term expired. After his death in 1901 she traveled extensively. Mrs. Har- rison is now 74 and lives with her daughter, Mrs, James Blaine Har- tison, in New York. The first marriage of a presi- dent to take place in'the White House was that of Grover Cleve- land to Miss Francis Folsom, a girl of 22. About five years after the death of Mr. Cleveland, Mrs, Cleveland married Thomas J. Preston, Jr., professor of archeology at Wells ‘college, from Which She was gradu- ated. Since then she had made her home at Princeton university and! has identified herself with univer- sity activities.

She has remained a sort of dow- ager-queen American life. Among the visiting celebrities who have sought her out:have been the Prince of Wales, who saw her in 1924, andthe crown prince and erincess of Sweden, who visited her in 1926. Helen Herron Taft, now 71, who returned to Washington with her husband when he was named chief justice, established a permanent home here. It is filled with art treasures gathered on her wide travels. Mrs. Wilson, the war president’s second wife, is now 60, She often in Coolidge One Of Six Presidents’ Widows; ut Of Public Eye RS.
