Firestone," Liberia Reach Agreement IMONROVIA, Liberia, April 3.— (ANP)—Through the tactful and diplomatic maneuvering of Lester Walton t U. S. minister to Liberia, the questions which threatened seriously to disrupt Liberia’s relationships with the United States were ironed out succesfsully during the recent three-week visit here of Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., representing the great American rubber interests. The trouble had been repudiation of a $5,000,000 debt owed the Firestone interests. Unsatisfactory conditions surrounding the natives of the interior and forced labor were the main source of trouble. These, however, have been almost entirely remedied. ,

WASHINGTON. D. C., April 3 — Among the retinue of the White House serving the role of butler is Eucarnacion (Carnation) Rodriquez, a Puerto Rican. Quiet and refined, this man from across the waters is a veteran in his field. • “I have loved this kind of work all my life. White I was a butler for less important people, I had often wished that I would some day be a butler in the White House,” said Rodriquez. He seems well content with his present position, and his eyes gleamed with delight as he declared, “I am well placed.” Born in Puerto Rico in 1879, Rodriquez attended school there until he had reached the seventh grade. About this time he had a yearning to come to America, and in 1912 left his country and came
here.
His ambition was encouraged when, shortly after his arrival, he secured a position as butler for •
William Morrow .hen a Major l» j ^
the ariti>. He held Ins job down for three and one-half years, after which be accepted the butlership of the Chilian ambassador to America. This job, too, he held for three years. Rodriquez then thought be would get a little experience as a waiter, and set out to find such a job. He was quite dazzled when he walked right into the Army and Navy Club and wasgiven the job of his choice waiter.
Dreamed of White House
“I liked that job very well.” said the Puerto Rican, “and kept it for four years, until Captain Shaffer, a Navy officer, begged me to go to Augusta, Maine, with him to
be his butler.”
After working with Captain Shaffer. Rodriguez went to Delaware and secured a job as butler in a hotel. This job he retained
for three years.
One morning when he came in through the back door and stopped to speak to Rodriquez, the pantry was empty. Mr. Coolidge went over to the dumb waiter, put his thumb on the bell, and kept it there until somebody answered his signal from below. Hannah, the pretty second cook, thought Rodriquez was getting fresh ringing the bell so long, so she yelled up the dumb waiter: “Hey. take your finger off that bell! Who do you think you are the President of the United
States?”
Hannah spilled a platter of sausage on the floor when she looked up to see Mr. Coolidge smiling dryly down at her. When Mr. Hoover became President, he brought his first and second butler with him. Since he needed a third man, Rodriquez was
retained.
For reasons unknown to Rodriquez, he has been retained by the Roosevelt administration. I accredit this to his thorough knowledge of what should be done and how to do it, and the quiet dilu gent way in which Carnation goes

Ordinary errors in eating may interfere with natural regularity of the bowels. A dose or two of Black-Draught will make them

his ambition. All these years he had been paving his way to the
White House.
During his roaming experience as butler he had worked for many notables, including some of President Coolidge’s assistants. One of them recommended that lie be brought to the White House as a butler. This was done, and Rodriquez declares that his coiftaet with President Coolidge was an education that lie would not have been able to obtain otherwise. Due to Mr. Coolidge’s unusual habits and disposition, Rodriquez was constantly thrown into contact with him. As his name was a difficult one to pronounce, Mr. Coolidge called h^n “Carnation.”
Liked Coolidge
The Puerto Rican was very fond of the President, and recalled with mirth the second cook, Hannah, (white) and himself. President Coolidge never rang a bell for a servant unless there was none within the sound of his voice. When he came in from his morning exercise, instead of going upstairs and have his valet ring for his breakfast, he usually stuck his head inside the pantry door and said “Carnation,” “I want my supper.” It was a little joke between “Carnation” and the President that Coolidge always asked fqr his supper when he wanted
breakfast.
