Capital Friends of Vice Preal-

for Plnce Within Means
REFUSES TO ACCEPT GIFT
Bv a Staff Corrpendf
WiLshlnrten. Nev 2J1. One of the
net-advertised human ynrns of the '
coming administration hn.s been the
quiet nnd thus far unavailing pearch
for a lilnec of residence for the nejv
Vice President, Calvin Coolidge. . KviT
since November 2 f Mends of the Mnssn
cliuscttH governor have been quietly but
persistently haunting Washington real
estate offices, seeking n house In keening
with the dignity of the office of Vice
Prrstdent. liut yet within the extremely
mwletenn of the new "V. P." Thus
far the haven't had any luck.
Washington hn plenty of house,
that -would innke splendid home for the
next highest official of the I'nlttyl
State, but Washington, also, I used tu
rharglng for them an only capital cities
knew hew te charge. They nre out of
question in the case of Coelldge. In
the old days the vice prfcddency usrd
te be given te some mnn of wealth who
was willing te make nn opulent gift te
the campaign fund In return for the
honor. That chnnged some year nge.
Tem Marshall, the retiring; Vcc Presi
dent, Is net n wealthy man a wealth
gees, but he Is a Crecu compared te
Coelldge. A there arc jimt Mm. Mar
shall and himself, they have lived at
hotels, the last few yeura at the historic
Wlllard.
In the case of Ooelidgo living nt one
of the hi? hotels I nut of the qiiestibn.
They huve youngster and they need
nnd arc accustomed te n house with a
yard around it.
Furthermore, en the salnry given the
Vice President, $12,000 a year, Cool Ceol Coel
ldge can't evtn Ftnnrl hotel prlcen, espe
cially as the Vide President has con
siderable official entertaining te de and
there Is no entertainment fund pro
vided for the Vice President, as Is the
case with the presidency.
Coelldge'a wealthy friend would like
te present him with a place or turn one
ever te him at a nominal rcht. Rut he
won't stand for any charity any mere'
than he will de any thing thnt would
seem like capitalizing the office te which
hn lins been elected by the people. Se
the hunt Is still going en en the
pert of some of his Intimate friends
