COOLIDGE PLANS 1 MIXING FEDERAL
 AND STATE HEADS
Conference Of Governors Will Not Confine Discussions
 To Prohibition
By RAYMOND CHAPTER { (Leascd Wire to The Agc-Hern

I
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-President Coolidge is evolving a plan for link 1 Ing the federal and state governments more closely by enlarging the scope of the contemplated conference of governors on prohibition.
 His present intention is to have the governors consider not only prohibi- ton, but other important problems, such as immigration. suppression of traffic in dope and similar matters in which the state and federal govern ments are concurrently interested.
 The governors hold their annual conference at Denver in one month, and President Coolidge is considering whether to ask them to confer with him here before or after this meet ing.
 Some advisors have been ureinr Coolidge to drop the idea of a prohi- : bition conference. because of the hos tile feeling among some governors of wet states. At the last conference held by President Harding nearly a year ago Governor Ritchie of Mary land openly dissented when it was suggested that the states should be more active in enforcing prohibition. Now there are two other bellieerent wet governors, Smith of New York, and Silzer of New Jersey. both demo crats. That might be expected from these. But regardless of the opposition governors, President Coolidge sees larger possibilities for ehlisting the assistance of the states in variety of ways besides prohibition enforce ment
 Gave Principle a Trial.
 He gave his principle a trial in the anthracite strike situation when he summoned Governor Pinchot to the White House and asked his assist ance.
 Before the conference meets. Presi- dent Coolidge will have conferred with a number of his cabinet officers regarding federal activities in which the states could assist.
 Secretary of Labor Davis has long felt that his relatively small staff could be far more effective in deal ing with immigration problems if states would give assistance
 First, there is the great amount of smuggling of immigrants. which has been increased with the 3 per cent quota law. As the 29 states-more than half-lie either on the seacoast or the Canadian or Mexican borders. the federal authorities could be aided materially by local authorities In po- licing this border territory. There is also the problem of dis tributing. and Americanizing immi- grants, which is largely local one. The federal government also could rbe assisted in experimenting undesirable aliens sought for deportation,
 Suppression of traffic in dope is another problem in which Presiden, Coolidge believes local autiorities can render great assistafce.

No. There was absolutely no

armed. and he had evidently been
killed in a conflict with some
unknown man, who either attack

He had been strangled before he
could use the pistol he had. That
is all we know. 1t has never been
