FINAL PENALTY
AT DAWN TODAY

other convicts escaped in May l, 1925.
Heavily armed guards patrolled the
streets outside the Jail from which
the convicts twice have attempted to
escape since their conviction. The
slayers tonight professed to newspaper

President Considers
Making Trip to The
Yellowstone ark

RAPID CITY, S.. D., July IA H1-
A trip through Yellowstone national
park is under consideration at the
summer White House but if PreSi-
dent Coolidge decides to go into
to be his only journey outside of the
Black Hills
Mr. Coolidge is studying over a
mass of literature from the park as
well as the information he received
regarding it's beauties from group
Of wyoming citizens, including SEN
ator Kendrick and Governor Elmer
son, who were his luncheon guests
Tuesday
Park officials have sent word that
should the trip be made, the Vel
lowstone area "will belong" to the
presidential party during the five or
six days which, it was expected,
would be consumed in viewing the
scenery. Yellowstone partisans more
over, are pointing out that there is
the same good fishing there as the
president has in the Black Hills and
that there would be saddle horses
aplenty for the president and those
who came with him, should there be
a desire to view the splendOrS of the
Yellowstone on horseback. Pending
more definite information as to
whether Mr.. Coolidge actually will
be able to make the trip, there has
been no indication as to the, time Of
the journey. Wyoming is ready to
welcome the president either as a
break in his Black Hills sojourn or
at the end of his residence here.
Just before returning to Washington.
Mr.. Coolidge's desire 10 visit the
Yellowstone is prompted bS much of
the same reason that caused him to
come west for the summer. He was
interested in seeing q portion or the
country he had not had a great deal
of opportunity to know first hand,
and inasmuch as the we'll known
park is in a state bordering that OF
his summer residence, the trip was
looked upon as not difficult ono
to make.
Both at Rapid City and at the
state game lodge, President Coolidge
faces a busy day tomorrow with 9
large number of callers listed and
guests for both luncheon and dinner
At noon he and Mrs. Coolidge have
invited George w. Wright, Huron
s. D., state republican chairman and
Mrs Wright, and for dinner, Senator
and Mrs. Norbeck and Senator and
Mrs. McMaster of this state.

Although the flight OF the two

Preparations are being made for

also being made for adequate po-
licing of the field, the handling OF

The army; also announced that
searcllights would be operated at
Koko Head, Diamond Head and

field, as guides in the event Smith
arrives earlier than he expected.
A group of escort planes will meet
the City of Oakland near the Island
of Oahu and guide Smith to his
destination. .
Army officials are greatly inter-
5sted in the flight in that it gives
a fresh opportunity to test their radio
beacon. +
Four army airplanes equipped with
radio will leave Wheeler field at
about 6 o'clock tomorrow morning
in an effort to locate the City OF
Oakland and report its position.
Since it is not generally believed
here that the fliers will return to
the mainland Immediately, the same
hotel accommoda dations that we're az
corded Maitland and Hegenberger
have been reserved for Smith and

Absolute prohibition will be "a

prohibition could not be expected
for p number of years, but how
many he would not estimate.
He was confident, that a steady
improvement in conditions was In
prospect because of the IeSsening

rapid dilminutiOn Of private stocks,
and the fact that most liquor
available for beverage purposes
contained poison to some degree.

intrepid airmen were $50 nautical or
