'SWNE MENTIONED ,| FOR CABINET POST Jmfice lly Be Atforney Gen- eral in Hoover Family ‘Washington, Feh. 5 UP—On Aug- ust 17, 1923, just after nightfall on a gloomy day, the late Mrs. Florence Kling, President Harding's widow, left the White House for the last time. Four days later the new presi. dent, Calvin Coolidge, and Mra. Coolidge, quietly drove from the Willard hotel and took up their res- idence in the executive mansion. That was more than five years ago, and they have lived there since, but today there were many signs [} symbolic of changes made and of changes to come. Workmen were busy on Pennsylvania avenue in front of the White House building stands for spectators to watch the inauguration of Herbert Hoover. In- side the White House, Mra. Coolidge was busy superintending the pack- ing of her household effects, for in Jess than a month.she and the pres- fdent will call Northampton, Mass., their home. On Capitol Hill and in other places where politics are dis- cussed there were a host of rumors of cabinet appointments to be made by the incoming president. Three Cabinet Prospects Three names have been mentioned with persistency and with semi- official assurance as members of that cabinet, and though such as- surance has often been wrong in the past, many are confident that Henry L. 8timson will be the new secretary “ of state, Harlan F. Stone the new . attorney genergl and Ray Lyman Wilbur the new sccretady of the in- ¢ terior. In the same circles it was said that Willlam M. Jardine would not retain his post as secretary of ag- riculture, but would resign to godnto private business. Mr. Stone is now associate justice of the supreme court and he relin- guished the post of attorney general when he was appointed to the bench by President Coolidge. Those who predict that Justice Stone will be the ext attorney general have already ?llefl his place. It would be taken by Curtis D. Wilbur, now secretary of the navy, and in turn his brother, Ray Lyman Wilbur, now president of Leland Stanford university, would become secretary of the interior. Stimson Leads Morrow When speculation first began about cabinet appointments, quite & few chose Dwight Morrow, ambassa. dor of Mexico, for the post of secre- tary of state, but Stimson, at pres- cnt governor general of the Philip- pines, now probably leads Morrow as the choice of the unofficial cab- et makers. Mr. Stimson was scc- v of war under President Taft and is well known in Washington. The cabinet in the last analysis depends upon Herbert Hoover, and he has not talked for publication, and peither has President Coolidge | answered the oft-broached question as to what -he intends to do after March 4. Unofficially the president has had many jobs picked for him, but it is believed by some close to him that he will give no thought to what he will do in the future until ' ‘White House. after he leaves the will send two or more delegates. The meeting begins Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock with address by Rev. C. 8. Applegath of Middle- field. This will be followed by an hour's discussion In which the dele- gates will take important parts. At 6:30 p. m. & banquet will be served by the women of the church. The speaker will be Rev. William H. Alderson, pastor of Trinity Metho- dist church of New Britain, The ad- dress will be followed by a four minute discussion. A social hour will follow. Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock a buffet luncheon will be served in the church pariors. Following the luncheon there will be an hour's conference and closing addreas by Rev. V. W. Abbey, president of the state Christian Endeaver Union, Rev, L. E. Adkins, Methodist min. ister in Kensington will take part in the program. Every minister on the program has a name beginnipg with the first letter of the alphabet. ATTACH DAUGHTER'S HOUSE IN SUIT AGAINST PARENTS Middlefield Concern Alleges New- ington Couple Transferred Real Estate to Escape Paying Bill. Alleging that hee parents had turned property over to her to es- ¢ape puyment of a debt, Constable Raymond V. Hallern of Newington last evening placed an attachment on real estate in the name of Mrs. Anna Roulard of 39 Curtin street. Mrs. ‘Roulard’s parents are Mr and Mrs. Toefil Boncivek of New- ington, formerly of Middlefield. Sult for $200 was brought against the parents by Harold G. Burnham and Harry C. Terrill of Middlefield, doing a grocery business under th: name of Burnham and Terrill, who allege non-payment of a bill. The attachment papers are made out to cover property held in the names of the parents and daughter.

SAFE BLOWN OPEN INDEATH INQUIRY Burnbam's Body May Be Ex- humed as Mystery Doepeos Chicago, Feb. § (M—Drills, explo- sives and now the grave digger's spade are being brought into the in- vestigation of Mra. Selma Burn- ham's death last week—a death which investigators believe may have been “influenced.” Agents of the state's attorney and public administrator used drilis and explosives last night to open a large safe at the Burnham Gum Vending Machine company, not in quest of assets of the million dollar estate Mrs. Burnham is believed to have possessed at one time, but for more light on her death. After the safe had been opened, it was reported that “disclosures of of a sensational nature” had been made to authorities. Early today ft was indicated the body of Banford A. Burnham, Mrs. Burnham's hus- band, who died last July, might be exhumed. Not only are the authorities seek- ing information that would prove helpful in investigating the woman's death, but they believe they may find evidence of a “slot machine ring.” State's Attorney John A.! Swanson said he had been advised | that the company was a unit of & slot machine organization of wide operations. Liniment as Beverage Officers said that atitements last night of Dr. Frank L. Brown had strengthened the theory that undue influence was brought to bear upon the wealthy widow. Dr. Brown at- tended Mrs. Burnham shortly before her death. “She was hysterical when 1 saw her,” he said. “She would continu- ally cry ‘I've lost everything—home, fortune, business. Riley got it all.’ She sald she had drunk much liquor. I caught the odor of liniment in the { room and on her breath. 8he said she had been given liniment to drink, and that she drank half a bottle of it.” Dr. Brown was ordered to appear next Monday at a probate court hearing which has grown out of the affair. 8o, too, was Edward Riley, civil engineer, who claims Mrs. Burnham turned over to him 55 per cent of her business in appreciation, he sald, of his efforts as manager of the company.
