Coolidge Believes Tacna

Raise New Issue
(By The Associated Press }

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 4.-While
awaiting q detailed analysis of its con-
tents by state department experts be-
fore drafting his reply, President Cool
idge on the basis of a preliminary study
of the document, believes the Peruvian
memorial on the Tacna africa AWARD
has raised no point as to safeguarding
the plebescte that is not already antici-
pated in the terms of the award.
1t is felt, with this preliminary opinion
Of the president and his advisers indi
eating to some extent the probable tenor
of his reply, that the Peruvian arbitra-
tion arbitration representatives will be
assured by Mr. Coolidge that the award
was drawn with every determination to
see to it that the plebescite is a fair
expression of popular will and that it
already amply safeguards that purpose.
The reply at the same time is expected
to reflect the presidents sympathetic
attitude toward the natural anxiety of
Peru over the outcome of the plebescite
to determine the sovereignty of the two
provinces to which she has long asserted
claim.
ton. which bears the signature of one
Of the special Peruvian representatives
here in connection with the arbitration
proceedings and is not direct COM
munication from the Peruvian govern
ment, has been withheld from publica-
tion pending the drafting of the presi-
dents reply.
1t is known, however, that after point
ing out what it regards as errors nthe
finding, although declaring the purpose
of the Peruvian government to carry out
the award, it suggests among six other
proposed notifications in the plebiscite
conditions the use of American mill
tary forces in the two provinces in
place Of the present Chilean military
and police.
AS to this, the presidents conception
Of his duty as arbitrator as being en-
tirely one Of individual responsibility
not shared in any way by the United
States government, is regarded as max
ing it certain that he cannot entertain
the Peruvian suggestion for the employ
ment of American troops.

Noted Criminal Receives
News of Fate Cody;
No Chance With Pre-
JUDGED Jury, He Says
(Bv The Associated Press.)

HARTFORD, Conn.,, April A
Gerald Chapman, spectacular
mail bandit, Jail breaker and
criminal extraordinary, today
was sentenced to hang in the
Connecticut state prison June
25 in payment for the life of a
New Britain patrolman of whose
murder, last October IL, a jury
had convicted him less than an
hour before.
Chapman, the stole criminal whose
flaming misdeeds have made him no.
torious, did not finch or falter as his
doom descended upon him. With his
arms folded across his breast and his
frail body held stiffly erect, he listened
to the judges sepulchral words spell
out his doom with only flushed face
to mark his emotion.
"Chappie, Pm sorry" Groehl said to
the prisoner after the jury had been
dismissed and Chapman had been re-
turned to the court house basement to
await further developments. The at
torney, tears in his eyes, reached out
for the condemned mans hand. Without
a break of the voice of a wavering of the
cold blue eyes, Chapman squeezed his
lawyers hand and replied:
"Oh, that's all right"
Chapman was convicted Of the murder
of Patrolman James Skelly, of New
Britain in the gray morning of Sunday,
October II, 1924, in shooting his way to
freedom, after three policemen had
trapped him in the rear Of the depart
ment store of Davidson and Leventhal,
whera he had just blown" two safes.
Through Groehl, the seemingly un-
perturbed man now face to face with
tne gallows, announced a few minutes
after the verdict that Il really did not
think that had chance" He added:
The prejudice in the minds of the
jurors was so great they didn't convict
the man who committed the murder, but
they convicted Gerald Chapman, the
super bandit and arch criminal, solely
on his past record"

Hopes for recovery of James r.

phone report from the residence Of
his brother-in-law, Gregg Wood, in
Mission, where the inspector has been
taken. He has regained consciousness,
ard is much improved, it was reported.
Patrol Inspector James P. Cot
tingham, Jr., is believed to be
fatally injured, one booze smug-
gler is dead, and another will

gun battle which took place on
the Rio Grande near the Edin-
burg pumping plant last night
when the officers stopped the
two smugglers as they landed in
a boat.
The shooting took place at
Ills last night, firing being
done by the light of the moon.
In the party of officers were J.
P. Cottingham, Jr., and his
brother, John H. Cottingham,
and G. D. Hawkins, all border
patrol inspectors, in the u. S.
immigration service, and Dan
Pullum, constable at Mission.
The pumping plant is near Mis-
sion.

in Brownsville, he lived here most Of
his life, has been unconscious since the
shooting. He received three bullet
wounds. one bullet going through his
left arm and into his lung. another in
to his right side, and third severing
the tip of his finger.

Of men across the Rio Grande joined

between 100 and $50 shots were fired
before the shooting ceased.

men, grounded. on a sand bar near the
edge of the river, Jim stepped up and
commanded the smuggler in front to
