CONF PROMISE
MEASURE IS
MADE PUBLIC.
Governor Would Be Given
Right to Make Recess
Appointments.
.OTHER CHANGES
Highway Commissions Po-
wers Would be Increased
by a New Bill.


PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug 8 tR-The
last of the major points of issue
between the majority and administra,.
ton forces of the legislature was
cleared up this afternoon when the
majority members of the house voted
to accept a provision giving Governor
Hunt the authority to make recess
appointments to the highway COM
mission without the consent OF the
senate. With these points cleared
up, attention will be devoted to the
mechanical details of the highway
measure tentatively agreed upon py
the conflicting factions of the. law
making body.
The revised copy of the highway
bill as agreed to by the compromise
committee made its first appearance
today when copies of the bill were
placed on the desk of the members
of both houses. When the house
recessed in the afternoon until 2
p. m. tomorrow it was announced
that the purpose Of the recess. was
to permit the members to study the
proposed bill. IS
The measure bears the title of
House Bill No. l." leading to she
belief that 1t will be the first bill
introduced when the legislature con-
venes its fourth special session, which
the governor has agreed to call as
soon as final agreement on a high
way bill is reached and creditors
bill passed.
The majority members are expected
to hold caucus tomorrow morning
during which the bill will be thor
oughly discussed. BY taking it up
in caucus, it is believed that necessity
of discussing it in the committee
of the whole will be eliminated as
well as the necessity to make amend
ments on the floor.
The bill follows in general the pro-
visions of old house bill No. 127, which
Governor Hunt vetoed at the regular
session. The vital changes are in the
section regarding the appointment OF
commissioners, their removal and
filling of vacancies, and the section
regarding the limit on the amount
of work necessary before bids are
called.
The original house bill 127 pro-
vided that all projects costing more
than $1,000 must be offered for bids
at least twice before the state itself
undertakes the work The revised
bill raises the limit to $4,000.
The old bill provided for the ap-
pointment of members by and with
the consent of the senate, for re-
moval only on cause and for filling
of vacancies by the other members
of the commission in the event Of
removal of a member by the gov
ernor.
The revised measure provides that
removal shall be only for cause
with the ouSted member having the
right to appeal to the superior court
lof Maricopa county for review Of
the case. In the event of any va

SYMPATHETIC STRIKE. FOR SACCO,
VANZETTI SYMPATHIZERS, QUIET

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 8, (AP)
The first of a four day strike
of coal miners in the southern
Colorado field, called by the 1.
w. w. in sympathy for Sacco
and Vanzetti, passed peaceably.
Strike leaders claimed approx
mate L6OO miners had responded
to the call. Company officials
stated the walkout had not
nOtIceabIy affected the operation
of the mines.
Following a survey of the af-
fected area, members of the
state Industrial committee and
coal company representatives es-
timated a So per cent normal
force Of miners were : at work
today, and declared the situation
was much better than an earlier
summary inuicated. A. E. Embree
i. w. w. executive said four fifths
of the miners in the HuerfanO
county district were idle today. He
stated that of the 2,O22 regularly
employed miners in Huerfano
county, 1000 were on a strike.
The strikers claimed a 100 per
cent victory in the Aguilar dis
trict, where nearly 700 miners,
the entire normal force were
reported through /. w. w. forces
to have Joined the strike move

The strike call had not been
generally needed in Las Animas
county both, company officials
and L. w. w. workers said. OPP
orators discounted the 1. w. w.
claim of a 40 per cent walkOut
in Las Animasl county. The
strike movement had not gone
south beyond Trinidad today,
but 1. w. w. workers said this
did not mean the campaign
would not be extended to the
southern part of Las Animas
county.
The three members of the
sIatG industrial commission
were in WaIsenburg today at
tempting to avert growth of the
movement. They were joined late
today by two members of the
attorney generals office, who
were reported to have been sent
10 the strike area to seek an in
junction against the miners. This
report, however, was denied by
w. l.. BOatright, attorney general.
The strike has been free from

COP. LEADER
IS CONVINCED
COOLIDGE, OUT
Race for Party's Presiden-
tial Nomination is Neck
and Neck.
TALKS GUARDED
Wilbur Discusses Naval
Program With President,
But is Silent.

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 8, N)--
From the first of the national re
publican leaders to visit the summer
white house since President Coolidge
issued his note disclaiming another
term the impression was cleaned to-
day that the race for the party'S
nomination is at present neck and
neck affair between a group which,
however, does not include Mr.. Cool
idge.
Completing a weekend visit at the
game lodge during which he had de-
cIined to comment, William v. Hodges,
treasurer of the republican national
committee, finally spoke OF the party's
prospects, but even then in such care
fully guarded phrases that ii was
difficult to determine just what he
thought of the presidents terSe state
ment of his intentions in 1928.
"As a party man." he said, II
believe the party has been made
stronger under the leadership of Pres
ident Coolidge and it will be able to
meet the task of selecting a nominee
and electing him next year"
He declined very definitely to be
Mr.. Coolidge'S name might be brought
before the convention but when the
conference was over there was the
feeling that he was convinced the
president intended to retire from the
white house March 4, 1929, no matter
what the republican party did.
He was equally reticent when a
discussion arose regarding the next
convention city. When he was asked
about San Francisco's chances, he
said this:
'The people of the west would be
happy to have the next republican
national convention held in San
Francisco and the leaders are very
active in the effort to bring it there" ;"
1t was suggested that the probable
candidacy of Herbert Hoover, a Cali
fornian, might be hindrance to
the San Francisco efforts, but Mr..
Hodges only smiled and declared he
had said all he wished to say He
did report the finances of the repub-
lican party were in good shape and
that there had been no deficit since
the 1924 campaign wound up with a
surplus. The fact that Mr.. Hodges
looked upon the selection OF can
didate next year as "a task" indicated
it was suggested, that he did not
expect Mr. Coolidge's name to be
presented, but he declined to discuss
the matter further. Nor would he
express an opinion as to the chances
Of Secretary Hoover, Vice President
Dawes, Nicholas LongWorth Frank 0
Ilowden and the others who have
been mentioned prominently since the
white house emphasized that Mr.
Coolidge intended to leave office al
the end of his term.
The guardedness with which the
committee treasurer spoke also char
acterized another white house visitor
today, Secretary Wilbur, who came
to discuss the administrations nava

IAu, CHANGES MIND OF WEALTHY
SACCO-VANZETTI SYMPATFIIZER


James, who is a nephew Of the
late Professor william James,
widely known psychologist, and
Henry James, novelist, has come
into prominence through his rad
ical views at various times since
his graduation from Harvard in
1896. After practicing law in
Seattle and several other cities for
a time after leaving college, he
went to Paris where he became
editor of the LiberatOr, a radical
publication. His views as express
ed in that publication, resulted in
the arrest of his London agent
and the seizure of several hum
dred copies of the publication on
the grounds that it libeIIed King
George.
He returned to the United
States and then went to Ger
many during the early part of
the war. He. was arrested there
and confined in prison forty
months because Of the views he
expressed.
James had been active in the
SaccO- -Vanzetti case for several
years. :.

BOSTON, Aug. 3, (APl-
Edward HOlton James, wealthy
radical and SaccO- Vanzetti
champion, tonight changed his
mind about serving a 80 day
Jail sentence for inciting a riot
and assaulting a policeman and
paid fine of SIS instead.
James was arrested during a
SaccO- VanZetti demonstration on
the common yesterday. When
arraigned in court today he re-
fused to rise when the complaint
was read, declared he refused to
recognize the courts jurisdiction
and declined to plead to charges
lodged against him.
He was fined $50 on a charge
of melting to riot and SIS on
the assault complaint, He asked
what the fine would total in
prison sentence and when in
formed it would be 80 days elected
the Jail term. Several hours
later just before his removal from
the prisoners cage to Jail, nc
notified the clerk he had changed
his mind. He was allowed to pay
his fine and so.

Captain F. T. Courtney, the British
aviator, tonight indicated he might
start at any moment on his projected
flight to New York, risking the posi-
BILE inefficiency of his wireless appar-

Captain Courtney explained his tenn
porary decision to transfer his base
from Topsil, on the northern coast of
the Avalon peninsula, New Foundland,
TO Repassey on the south coast of the
Peninsula, as due to information that
the seas around Topsil are rough. The

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 8 P)-
No eleventh hour action can be ex-
pected from President Coolidge in the
Sacco-V -Vanzetti case.
There was some question that the
appeal for executive Intervention said
to have been sent from Boston had
today actually reached Rapid City
but it was said that even so, the
appeal would be transmitted to the
department of justice.
Mr.. Coolidge previously let it be
known he considered the case en-
tirely matter for the Massachus-
ettS courts.
Moves in two Massachusetts courts
to save Saeco and Vanzetti from exc
cution Thursday failed yesterday
while unrest continued both at home
and abroad as the hours brought the
doom of the condemned radicals one
day nearer
Judge Webster Thayer, before
whom the men were convicted OF
murder six years ago, denied mo-
ton for new trial in the superior
court at Dedham, Mass, while
sheriffs, state and local police stood
guard He took under advisement,
however, motion for revocation of
sentence. Justice Sanderson in the
supreme court at EAston earlier in the
day denied petitions for a writ of
habeas corpus, a stay of execution
and for writ of error
A petition to Governor Fuller for
a stay of execution is still pending

THOSE WHO COME AND GO
Tale of Folks at the Hotels.

(The Morning Oregonian, May 15)
A true w%esterner can never ac-
custom himself thoroughly to the
natural reserve of fasteners. ac-
cording to ]. H. Van Horn, an at
torney late of the general counsel
service of the government in Wash
ington. d. c., who has come to
Portland to engage in private prac-
tice. Fol many years Mr.. Van
Horn was located in Wyoming
where he became adjusted to west
ern ways and western people. He
found things so different when he
entered the government service in
Washington that he decided to re-
turn to the west. Although he
claimed to have no inside informa-
ton en- the subject, Mr.. Van Horn
gave it as his opinion that Presi-
dent Coolidge will receive the nom
ination of the republican party if
he wants it. If the present gen.
'eral prosperity continues Mr.. Cool
idge will probably want it, he
thought Herbert Hoover is high
ly regarded in Washington, Mr.. Van
Horn said, and is generally thought
of as a man of ability and efficien-
cy. He has a way of mastering
the affairs hat ire placed in his
care. That he is presidential tim
Der is the belief of his associates.
Mr.. Van Horns legal work with the
government consisted very largely
in handling tax cases of one sort or
another. Yesterday morning he
took a sight seeing trip about the
city with his law partner, Fred w.
Piper, which took him to Council
Crest. He was greatly pleased. he
said, with the beauty of Portland
and its environs. Mr.. Van Horn
is registered at the Nortonia hotel.
