He continued to approach. I advanced toward him, trying to reach the doorway. Sud- denly he seized me by the throat, pressing his thumb across my wind
 "I'll kill you" he cried. I strug- gied away from him. Maybe I kicked him.
 After threatening to kill me. Fahmy crouched, ready to spring I lifted my arms without looking ahead or me. Inen, not 1edilHlnS what Hdu happened, I saw Fanny on the floor in front of me-
 The Princess Insisted that she did not know when she fired. She did not remember. She only recalled kneeling before her prostrate hus> band and exclaiming, It's nothing, sweetheart. Please speak"

PUP PULARITY WITH PARTY MAY FORGE LEADERS TO BOW
Wiser Heads Sitting Back And Watching Develop
 ments-No Comment
By HAMMOND CHAPTER (Leased Wire to The ARe-Herald)

WASHINGTON. Sept. 12.-Local politicians from many states are wearing a path to the White House to tell President Coolidge that they are for him in 1924. These indorse- ments come from the grass roots the state chairmen, state officials and the top-sergeants of the great political army of the party. They are the men who circulate among the 'boys" who actually get out the vote, and are the most valuable friends that President desiring the nomination can have,
 Their attitude in coming forward promptly and rendering their serv- ices to the new President is in con- trast to that of some of the promi- nent national party figures who are sitting@ quietly in the background waiting to appraise the public re- action to the new President, and to learn what other possible candidates expect to get into the race.
 If the procession of humble politi- cal workers arriving here to pledge fealty to Coolidge keeps up, the national leaders will be forced into line and real opposition to Coolidge's nomination will dissolve automati cally.
 Believe Nomination Certain.
 Republican politicians from four states-Oklahoma, West Virginia. Wyoming and Utah--conferred with the President Wednesday. All de- clared afterward that they be- lieved Coolidge would be nominated at the next convention.
 Among the visitors were: P. c. Spencer, republican state chairman of Wyoming; Former Governor Reilly and Former Representative Chan dler of Oklahoma; Former Represen- tative Bowers of West Virginia, w. D.. Sutton, state treasurer of Utah.
 Mrs. Lon Hooker of Missouri, wo- man representative of that state on the republican national committee also called and was accompanied by John T. Adams. national chairman Her visit had to do with the tangled Missouri situation, which has been discussed with Coolidge by several previous visitors, including Governor Hyde, State Chairman Clements, and later, Jacob Babler, national commit teeman, who is under fire by the Hyde faction. Hyde, who claims to have control of the state committee now, has indorsed Coolidge, and is himself mentioned as vice presi- dential possibility.
 Prominent politicians from Ohio Senator Willis and Carmi Thompson National Committeeman Bean of Florida and a delegation from Kan sas, previously tendered their sup port.
 To all of these proffers, President Coolidge is preserving a dignified silence. His attitude was expressed ir the letter to the Coolidge for President club of Chicago, in which he declared that he was thinking only of the success of his administra- ton and preferred to discourage ac- tivity in other directions.
