 The following wireless message was sent today by Senator Harding to the American athletes sailing from New York on the Princess Matoika to participate in the Olympic games:
 ''To the company of American athletes sailing to participate in the Olympic games, I want to send a word of Godspeed and good wishes. You will uphold all the traditions of American sportsma nship, we'll know, and I want you to know also that I am joining with all your coun- trymen in wishing that you may come home with your full share of the honors of the great affair and added distinction to our country"

TWO MEN ACCUSED OF
 SHOOTING BY CHILD
Both Deny Charge-Water- bury Police Probing Mys-
 teriOus Killing.

Waterbury. July 27.-The woman who died here early this morning as the result of a bullet wound received Sunday was Mrs. Teresina Scurssa, or 11S Russell street. A confuslon or names of the persons mixed up in the affair was responsible for the first announcement that Mrs. Domenic Campano had been shot. The shoot ing is believed to have occurred dur ing a quarrel Sunday morning be- tween the Ecurssa and Campano fam lilies. Campano and Peter Averso are held without bail while the coroner and police complete their invesuga- ton. Campano and Averso admit there was a fight, growing out or trouble over the Campano family's s moving out of the house owned by the Scurssa family, but deny that they did any shooting.
 A 10-year-old child of the Scurssa woman claims both men under arrest fired revolvers. Empty cartridge shells Of two different types were found by the police today in the hall way at 11s Russell street As vet however, the revolvers-if more than one were used-have not been located.

Northa mpton, Mass, July 27.-Res- cue from the reactions of war was described as the transcendent need of the nation in the address which Gov ernor Coolidge gave today in accepting republican nomination for vice-presi- dent The chief task that lies before us.' he said, ''is to repossess the people of their government and their property
 He found another source of gravest public concern to be the reaction ary tendency to substitute private will for the public will"
 The observance of the law" he said, 'is the greatest solvent of pub lie ills"
 Favors Govt. Economy.
 He declared that eXtravagant stan dards of government expenditure bred of recent years must be eliminated and that a revision of taxation must be accompanied by a reduction of private extravagance. He urged bet ter facilities for adjustment of indus trial disputes. The need of the farm CTS, he said, was an enlarged power of organization whereby the original producer might profit to larger de- gree by the high prices paid for his produce by the ultimate consumer and at the same time decrease the cost of food.
 Again the League of Nations.
 The proposed League of Nations without reservations as submitted by the president to the senate met with deserved opposition from republican senator's" he said. Our party by the record of its members in the senate and by the solemn declaration of it's platform by performance and by promise approves the principle of agreement among nations to preserve peace and pledges itself to the making of such an agreement preserving Ann erican independence and rights as will meet every duty America owes to humanity. This language is pur- posely broad not exclusively but in elusive The republican party is not narrow enough to limit itself to one idea but wise and broad enough to provide for the adoption of the best plan that can be devised at the time of action.
