BY JOSEPH 8. WASNEY

WASHINGTON, July 90 The

motion picture producers to meet
with federal representatives to
work out a gentlemen agree

unfair competition and trade prac-

The justice department is con
Quoting a separate and secret sur

an effort to make certain the pub
lie is not gonged by price fixing
practices as the result of recent
mergers and combines.
The commission is awaiting word
from the producers before naming
a place and setting a time for the
conference.
Most Of the producers, it is un-
derstood, contend they are not vio-
lating any federal statutes. The
Famous Players Laskv organization
which the commission ordered to
" cease and desist' alleged unfair
trade practices has indicated it will
fight the ruling in court.
The government, meantime, is de,

Local SWANS
Deny Charges

Either FL Centre young men are
backward about admitting to the
world that they have been fortun-
ate enough to win the hand of the
lady of their choice, or else they
are helping swell the receipts of
San Diego county by obtaining mar
>riage license over in the coast city
and then refusing to use them.
Within the past two days, two
local young men have obtained mar
riage licenses in San Diego, but
when asked to "fess up and ad-
NIT the details, they have denied
they are married, and also denied
they obtained marriage licenses,
Notwithstanding the records of the
licenses were published.
Because Of the denials, the Press
is of course unable to print the
names of the parties concerned.
1t does not appear logical that in
either case the young men in ques-
tion spent two dollars for a license
just for the sake of spending the
money.
In the face of the denials it is
only natural to wonder if the young
men Jumped the gun" by getting
the licenses only to have the ladies
of their choice say thumbs
down.
Murder will out, and we will
wait for the outing.

COMPANIONS OF
DEAD GIRL ARE
CALLED C0WARDS
by United Press Leased Wire

SEATTLE, Wash, July 20. -
Three men who were present at the
drinking party a week ago which
ended with the drowning of Miss
Violet Maude Payne, music and
dance teacher, in Lake Union, were
cleared of charges in connection
with her death but today they bore
the accusation of coroner s jury
of being towards morally respon-
sible for the death of the girl. -
Miss Payne fell into the lake
from the yacht Muriel.
The jury last night found Miss
Payne death accidental but re-
turned a scathing denunciation of
+. Creigh Nelson, wealthy broker
and owner of the yacht; A. F. Bell,
captain of the yacht, and f. E. Bar
rington, bookkeeper of the Seattle
Yacht Club, for not expending more
effort III trying TO rescue Miss
Payne.
Prosecutor Colvin declared today
that no further action would be tax
en- against the three men and they
were released from custody along
with Mrs. Winona German, another
guest at the party. All had been
held as material witnesses pending
the outcome of the inquest.
Nelson had previously been re
leased on $4,000 bond.
Testimony at the inquest showed
that Miss Payne accidentally fell
from the yacht at the Seattle Yacht
Club while leaving the boat follow
ing a party at which liquor was
served.
The witnesses said that Barring,
ton was the only one who attempted
a rescue and his efforts were con
fined to reaching around in the wa
ter in short circles while clinging
with his other hand to piling.
The story told the coroner's jury
was that the four surviving mem
bers of the party agreed to tell a
false story about the disappearance
of the girl in order that no scandal
might come from the accident.

SOUTH DAKOTA
TO BE PLEDGED
FOR COOLIDGE
Republican Leaders To
Su: port President For
Reelection
BY PAUL R. MALLON
(United Press Staff Correspondent

RAPID CITY, S. D., July 26. =
In series of conferences since the
arrival of President Coolidge here
Republican leaders of this doubtful
state have reached a tacit agree
ment to carry South Dakota for Mr.
Coolidge next year if possible.
Senator Peter J. Norbeck, Repub-
lean of South Dakota, and "Big
Chief of the state organization
will announce himself shortly for
Mr.. Coolidge. He will be followed
by F. S. Meyers, who is to be Re
publican organization candidate for
governor next year, and four of the
leading newspapers of the state.
Ordinarily this farming state has
not been considered prot Coolidge
and after his veto of the McNary-
Haugen bill some Republican news
papers took him to task. But since
his arrival here there has been moth
ing hut sympathetic comment on
how his presence is booming the
Black Hills as vacation play
ground.
The United Press is informed up,
on most reliable authority that
leaders are planning series of
announcements which may reflect
their appreciation of Mr.. Coolidge S
choice for the summer White House.
Voters to Decide
What voters will do about it,
however, cannot be told until elec-
ton day.
Norbeck, Meyers and the four
largest papers are considered the
highest political influences in the
Republican organization, but talks
with local people give no indication
that Mr. Coolidge personally has
captured the state.
Mrs. Coolidge arranged to motor
&c miles this afternoon to New Cas-
tie. Wvo., to attend the wedding OF
Miss Dorothy Mondell of Washing
ton, daughter of the former Repub-
lican floor leader of the house, and
Alexander w. Gregg, chief counsel
of the internal revenue bureau, at
the Mondell summer home there.
Tomorrow Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge
will attend the "gold discovery
days" celebration at Custer.

To Shirt Or
Not To Shirt
It's shirtless day in Heber.

IL s Sh1rtlesS uav IN heDer.
Or it will be soon if residents of
the town follow the example set by
o Heber farmer, who tolls day by
day in the hay fields minus shirt.
The new fad should hardly attract
much attention in these days of
rapidly shortening skirts, flesh-eol-
ored hose and knickers but it has.
In fact the sheriff's office has
been notified of the fact that the
Heber toiler is attempting to set a
new fad among the ''pitchers of
hay and request has been made
that some deputies be assigned to
the job of dressing up the Heber
farmer.
The request is rather peculiar
one and the desk clerk who received
it has passed it upward and it is
expected that eventually it will fall
into the hands of Sheriff Gillett.
In the meantime the deputies arc
betting the soft drinks as to wheth-
er the report goes in the waste bas-
ket or whether the farmer buys a
shirt.
