(By Robert Moorefield, United Press Staff Correspondent.) Washington. -What President Coolidge will do after he leaves the White house is a subject of much speculation in Washington now. He has a strong feeling that the dignity of the presidential office requires an ex-president to conduct himself within certain circumscribed lines and he is averse to entering upon any employment which would fortune of nearly--so his friends say -half a million. Interest from this alone would permit Mr.

Coolidge to live in the unpretentious was that he prefers. It virtually is certain the president will return to his home at Northampton, for a while after his presidency. He still maintains a home and law office there: last November he personally directed transfer of numerous personal belongings from the White house to his home. Later he indicated would be "quite natural" for him to return to Northampton "for a time at least." According to reports here, Mr. Coolidge is considering an extended world tour, on which he possibly might write his memoirs or engage in other literary work for a market already clamoring for his copy.

Should he decide to travel. he would follow the steps of Filmore, Pierce, Van Bur- constitute practically the selling of his name as ex-president to some large firm I which desired to use his name for advertising purposes. There are, however, a number of dignifled activities to which the pres-! ident may turn he desires. Some thought might properly, the eventually become president of Amherst college, in which he has always been strongly interested. Former presidents have followed a variety of callings 'after retiring from the chief executiveship.

Some, either for gain or diversion, turned to banking, globe-trotting, hunting. farming, politics, the law, and educational and charitable services. VARIOUS "ASSIGNMENTS." Persons who insist they are "in the know" have assigned the president to positions as railroad executive, insurance firm director, educator, world traveler, banker a but Mr. Coolidge. himself has exercised the silence he has made famous and steadfastly declines to clear up the situation.

He is letting rumor take its whimsical course- -and apparently enjoying it. Recently the president told persons who questioned him about his work after March 4 that "one guess was as good as another." He has made it known he wants to hold his future plans in abeyance until after he quits office. He has a strong sense of the ethics of the situation. After all. Mr.

Coolidge doesn't have to work unless he wants to. Unlike Jefferson, who left the White house so poor he feared his creditors would refuse to allow him to leave Washington for his home in Virginia. President Coolidge has a comfortable en, Grant and Roosevelt. FOUR IN SECLUSION. house.

JOHNSON A SENATOR. On the other hand, four presidents went immediately into seclusion after quitting the White house, and a fifth denied himself to all except intimate acquaintances. John Adams retired to "that quiet house near the roadside in Quincy," wrote history, and lived to see his son enter the White house. Madison, a studious bookworm, retired to his books and spent odd moments cultivating roses. Jackson, at 70, left office become planter at The Hermitage, his estate in Tennessee.

Buchanan. much abused toward ths close of his administration, sought the rest and quiet of retirement at his home near Lancaster. Pa. Arthur, who like Van Buren, was disappointed at failure of reelection. secluded himself from all but those very close to him.

Van Buren, after his travels, became a virtual hermit. Tyler. like Washington, led the congenial life of a gentleman farmer. Monroe, who refused many proffers of high office to become a local magistrate, and Jefferson became identified with Virginia university, Jefferson. who founded the college, personally supervised erection of the buildings.

Cleveland. Benjamin Harrison and Hayes also were identified with educational projects. John Quincy Adams, perhaps the most active ex-president, rounded out a life of public service by serving as a member of the house from Massachusetts after his presidency. Before that he had been senator, minister to England and secretary of state. He served in the house from 1831 until his death in 1848.

had the most unfortunate experiences after his incumbency. After his world tour, he took no active part in business or public affairs, but was the silent partner in the Grant Ward banking firm. He was embittered by ventures in Wall street. Discovering his firm bankrupt, he spent his last days writing famous memoirs to provide for his family after his death, completing the work only four days before his death. Much was written in great pain caused by cancer of the throat.

COLONEL LINDBERGH VISITS FIANCEE (Continued from Page visit in the greater seclusion of Cuernavaca. Ambassador Morrow himself was expected, investigate back in deaths Mexico of two City Ameri- today can mining engineers in Guanajuato at the hands of bandits who kidnaped and held them for ransom last week. EXCITED SPECULATION.

(By Gesford United Press Staff Correspondent.) Mexico (U.P.) -The marriage plans of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Miss Anne Spencer Morrow caused excited speculation in the capital today. Colonel Lindbergh came by plane from Eagle Pass, to rejoin his fiancee, arriving at Valbuena flying field just at dusk, last night. The flyer kept his movements mystery, but after a brief visit to the United States embassy, his bags were put in an automobile and he sped away, presumably for Cuernavaca.

where Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow and his family have been spending the weekend. Lindbergh's chauffeur said he had been ordered to to Cuernavaca. It is a dangerous drive over mountain roads in a region where bandits abound. Persistent reports in the capital said the marriage might take, place within the next few days.

It was noted that Lindbergh flew here in the City of Wichita, a -passenger plane, It has been whispered that the famous flyer and his bride will make their honeymoon tour by airplane, probably a leisurely trip to points where they would be least likely to be disturbed by crowds. Lindbergh, who left Eagle Pass at 8 a. yesterday, reached the capital at 6:53 p. 111. His progress was slow and it was presumed he encountered head -winds.

GREETED BY FEW. He had notified no one of his intentions until shortly before he started, and as the Morrows already had gone to Cuernavaca, there was no opportunity for his fiancee to meet him. He was greeted at the field by a crowd of only about fifty persons and left for the embassy at once. "I cannot tell you anything now. I will see you later," he remarked to newspapermen.

Alan Dawson and Fred Hibbard. embassy secretaries. received Lindbergh in behalf of the Morrows and escorted him to the embassy. Shortly after his arrival, Ambassador Morrow telephoned from Cuernavaca, asking if he had arrived. Lindbergh's movements evidently were influenced by a message whispered to him by Dawson, presumably from Miss Morrow or the ambassador Lindbergh spent only twenty minutes at the embassy and then left in the car in which his bags had been placed, Asked if he were going to Cuernavaca, he replied: "I have nothing to say," Spain has issued fl decree that all livestock carried on Spanish railways must be insured.

STORM TODAY NOT EXPECTED TO HIT INTERCITY TRAFFIC Unless Snowfall Proves Severe, Highway Department Does Not Anticipate Road Trouble Today's snowstorm, which continued briskly during the forenoon, was not expected to cause any traffic tieup on the rural highways, although there was the possibility of the storm long enough and in such continuing, seriously hinder traffic. I'. M. Holaday, local manager of the Wisconsin Power Light company, said this morning that Winnebago county roads are opened wide enough to stand even a fairly heavy snowfall.

Highway 41, from Oshkosh to Fond du Lac, is now in better condition to bear up under today's snow, due to the fact that most of the Fond du Lac county road equipment spent about three and one-half days last week, widening the to two-car width and scraping the snow road, from the pavement. ROAD IS NOW OPEN. The route from Omro to Berlin, either via Eureka or via Waukau, is open, Mr. Holaday said. How long those routes will stay open, if there is much snow and some drifting, is a matter of conjecture.

Holaday said that on both routes there are cuts through drifts that between ten and twelve It measure. will not require a great amount of drifting to block up those passes, he predicted. Today's snow will not change the present situation of the OshkoshRipon highway, for the reason that the route has not been opened at all in Fond du Lac county since the last big snowfall. No cars have operated on that road at all. Only horse-drawn sleighs have been able to get through.

TO OPEN RIPON ROAD. Mr. Holaday said he understood that the Ripon road was one of the projlects scheduled for this week by Fond du Lac road crews. Highway 41, north of Fond du Lac, was thee first job tackled. Since Friday Fond du crews have been at work on highway 41, south of Fond du Lac, and the Ripon highway to the Winnebago county line is next, according to 1 unofficial reports.

Sunday, in Oshkosh, was a day of moderate winter temperature, according to the Buckstaff observatory thermometer. The maximum up to 8 o'clock last night was 30 degrees, and the minimum reading for the four hours ending then was 19 degrees above. Weather forecasts received in Oshkosh today foretold the snowstorm. The prediction also mentioned continued moderate temperatures. ALL PASSENGERS OF CRIPPLED LINER ARRIVE AT SEATTLE Seattle, Wash.

-The 198 passengers of the Alaska Steamship company's liner Aleutian arrived in Seattle today after escaping from the menace of a listing ship and shifting cargo. The passengers were transferred to the company's liner Alameda in Puget Sound. The Aleutian was leaking after striking a rock in Seymour Narrows, Saturday morning. Capt. J.

C. Nord issued a call for help when the ship struck, but was able to work her free and started back to Seattle when the shifting deck load alarmed passengers.

The district attorney declared he had made a thorough study of the testimony. and that "after stripping Mr. Barry's report of its excess verbiage and unsustained conclusions, I am satisfied there is no justification for starting criminal action against these parties in Dane county." In recommending a change in the said: "The at present is not corrupt practices, act, Judge Schein clear in many instances, and I have serious doubts whether any candidate for any important office has not. at time another, inadvertently, and wholly innocently failed to comply with some of its provisions."

Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, discussed the national origins provisions of the immigration act with the president elect today, urging the latter to allow this provision to become operative on July 1.
