when he received the invitation that
his followers would accept as marx

PINCHOT, DOOMED

His "Pinch Hitting" for

Will Decide Chance.

Washington, ID. C., Aug. 2o.-ThC
political significance of Governor Pin
chot's activities in the coal crisis to-
night shared interest with the eco
nomic effect of a strike.
In permitting Pinchot to pinch
hit" for him in the crisis, political
leaders believe that President Coolidge
has given the governor a chance Ia
lead the Republican batting order y
next year.
Pinchot is already a potential can.
didate for the Republican presidential
nomination, and he intimated to
friends here after Mr.. Coolidge had
put the coal situation in his hands
that he intends to make the most oil
the opportunity.
His chance for the nomination, even
his friends agree, depends entirely
upon his ability TO settle the anthra
cite controversy. If he fails to get
an agreement, his boom will fall flat
they say.
Opinion in political circles is divid'
ed on the effect Pinchot's possible
success would have on President Cool
idge's political future. 1t was gen
orally agreed. however. that the Pres
ident acted in a statesmanlike man
ner in selecting the man best fittet
for the job. despite the fact that tbs
latter may be a leading presidential
possibility.

$4,000 Bank Theft Case.

Mexia, Tex, Aug. 25.-Guy Her

city, is at liberty on $4,000 bond
following his arrest Friday in con-
nection with the theft of S60.40C
from the Farmers State Bank of
Mexia, loss first discovered nearly
two years ago.
The embezzlement was discovered
here in February, 1922, but no pub.
licity was given the matter in order
that authorities could cooperate with
bank officials in running down the
guilty party.
Since that time, however,. detec.
tives have been working on the case
almost constantly and the climax
came Friday with Herring's arrest.
His arrest caused great surprise
here, as Herring was not connected
with the bank at the time the money
disappeared.
