that flying conditions over the pole
in summer are more difficult than
over the Atlantic. AS a matter of
fact they are better because the
temperature is about as warm as

Her rs YEARS AGO
(By The Associated Pres,,)

Spokape, Wash, Aug. 9.-Mrs.
X. T. Britain, owner of a general
store at Soap Lake, Wash, today
identified Cecil Lenighen, en-
ployed by a local hotel, as the son
who was kidnapped from her in the
Blue mountains, near Walla Walla,
Washington, sixteen years ago.
over a telephone Mrs. Britain
declared there could be no mis-
taking her Identification, which
she established by scars on Leni-
ghen's lip and head, by a crooked
finger, and by the color of his hair
and eyes.
Mrs. Brittan's son, then five
years old, was kidnapped July 4,
1906. Her husband died last July
4, partly as result, she said, of
grief over the loss of their son,
whom they had sought ever since.
Resemblance of Lenighen to a
description of the Britain boy was
noted by fellow employe of the
hotel where he worked a few days
ago. Lenighen knows nothing of
his childhood history, parentage,
real name or the place of his birth.

SHOUP WILL NOT
BE A CANDIDATE
FOR REELECTION
Governor of Colorado Says
He Will Not Accept Nom
ination for Third Term If
rendered Him.
lBy I-le AssoClnted Press.l

Denver, Aug, 81 cannot and
will not be a candidate for re
election, nor will I accept the
nomination if rendered to me,
declared Gov. oliver H. Shoup in
a letter to Geo. II. Shaw, repub-
lican state chairman, which the
latter read lat the republican state
! assembly hore today. This final
announcement by the governor
apparently brought to an end all
efforts of his supporters to stam-
pede the assembly to renoninate
, Gov Shoup for a third term.
The governors letter as read to
the assembly by Mr.. Shaw fol-
lows:
'"The political events developed
during the last few weeks have
been of great interest to all of
the loyal and law abiding citizens
of Colorado. In the light of past
history in other states under less
trying conditions our state stands
foremost in the minds of many of
the best citizens throughout the
land.
Whatever part in the affairs [
have played, it has been only
from the result Of carefully pre-
pared measures of legislation, and
the necessary appropriations fur
nished me at the twenty-third
general assembly.
II assume only a small part of
the credit for what was done 20
make present conditions in Colo
rado possible, the credit for this
belongs to members of the senate
and house, who were wise enough
to provide means for an execu-
tive in a time of necessity.
THE enforcement of the law in
state filled with a large major
ity of law abiding and law sre-
specting men and women was
only matter of due process.
From a large number of vot-
ers and citizens has come to me
an urgent request that I be can
didate in the republican primaries
for reelection. The request COM
ing from so many regardless of
party and from all walks of life,
working men and women, farm
ers, livestock and business inter-
ests. 1t has been necessary for me
TO give the matter most serious
consideration. Coming from so
many whose Judgment | value

conclusions without fullest con-
sideration and after consultation
with many friends and advisers.
From a purely personal desire
nothing would please me more
than to serve the people of our
state and the members of the re-
publican party for an unlimited
period. l hope I shall always be
helpful and useful to them.

Into Closer Harmony
Commended BY Speakers
(By The Associated Press.)

San Fran CISCO, CalG., Aug. D.
-Four men, prominent in the world
politics, addressing the California
branch of the English
union, in session here yesterday,
commended the aims Of the union
! in seeking to bring the English
speaking nations of the world into
closer harmony with a view toward
fostering and International spirit of
good will.
The four--William Howard Taft,
chief justice of the United States,
and former president; Lord Shaw,
of Dunfermline, member OF the
British house of lords; George w.
Wickersham, former attorney gen.
eral of the United States, and John
! w. Davis, former ambassador or
the United States to Great Britain,
for the convention of the American
Bar association which opened to-
day.
Each of the speakers emphasized
what was termed need of fra
ternity among the English-speak-
ing nations.

visit to England and the cordial
welcome accorded him there.
After paying special tribute to
Lord Shaw, the chief justice said
he saw a "better day in store for
the world"
1--WE of the English-speaking
nations have faith in each other"
he continued. eve have hope for
each othef but we must have
spirit of fraternity if we are to
insure the peace of the world. l
believe that the English speaking
nations of our world are steadily
realizing that it will only be
through wholehearted fraternity
that we can hope to secure lasting
peace. A common tongue is the
heritage we already possess and 1t
is for us to cement our common
ideals through that common
tongue"
Lord Shaw expressed a desire to
see wider understanding among
English-speaking people. "Wheh
we stop troubling about our poorer
qualities and find the beg 'ones we
will all understand. That is what
England has tried to do in Ireland
and it is succeeding so well that to-
day l believe that Ireland Is on the
crest of a wave that will send 1t on
to splendid achievements"
John w. Davis told his hearers
that solution of the Irish problem
and elimination Of the jealousles
aroused through the naval strength
of Great Britain have removed two
of the major threats which beset
world peace"
He declared that the "llberation
of Ireland did more to assure the
world that freedom was not 4
mockery than any other agency
in ages" "
Mr.. Davis concluded by saying
tLat the English speaking nations
must help Ireland by making the
world place of peace.
