COOLIDGE FACING HARD SITUATION
West Demands Farm Relief
 Measures Passed

Rapid City, g. D., Aug. (UP)- President Coolidge entered today upon his fifth year as chief xecu- tive of the United States, facing the most precarious political situation of his career.
 It was just four years ago at 2 a. m. to the day, that a sleepy group of newspapermen including this Correspondent rode up to Mr. Cool idge's farm home at Plymouth Notch, Vermont, with news that President Harding had died and that be was to be president.
 There, by the dim flickering light Of an oil lamp, he was inducted in- to office with the oath administered by his father. John Coolidge, who in stocking feet, struggled down the walled staircase of that farm dwell ling, to receive newspapermen who were frantically pounding upon screen door.
 Today MT. Coolidge, first presi- dent ever to summer in the west. is meeting divergent views upon farm relief, taxation, d failing Geneva disarmament conference and other vital pending problems. From this
 panorama of mingled political col
 DTS, MT. Cool:dge's star is expected to rise or set.
 Senator Capper, republican. Kan
 sas, leader of senate farm bloc, says
 hn
 he wants 1t, but that some farm re-
 lief legislation must be passed at the next session of congress or the tranquil west will make some trou- ble."
 Capper says that Kansas, just as the rest Of the west, was disappoint- ed at MT. Coolidge's veto of the Nc Nary -Haugen bill but that 1o1 of Its 1O5 republican county chairmen al- ready have declared for Mir. Cool care to warn that this situation may not prevail next year, if congress fails to enact some relief legislation. MT. Coolidge is faced with the breakdown Of his conference, call- ed at Geneva to work out limitation of naval armaments. He has return ed with sanction to Hugh Gibson, head of the American delegation there. a document prepared by Gib- son which may state the most viz orous proclamation of American sea policy since the Monroe Doctrine. It is left to Gibson's discretion whether the document will be de- livered. Mir. Coolidge hopes that the conference will reach a successful conclusion, but he has provided for protection Of American interests, should the conference fail, as he eX- poets.
 Delay Of the final plenary session at Geneva brought only faint ray of hope that the deadlock over
 Great Britain's proposal for a larger navy might be broken. It Is how ever. untrue that Mir. Coolidge wir- ed Gibson last night to end the con ference.

The quantity of private mail showed natural slight de- crease from past months figures, but the slump which annually visits the local office during the summer months was reported less effective than usual.

STEEL TEAM STRENGTHENS

The sandy condition of Linden street in front of the Linden street school proved disastrous for a big | truck of the American Hardware Corp. of New Britain last night, the vehicle sinking through the loose earth and becoming completely | mired. The road, across the treach- erous sandy soil of the section, had | been torn up to permit the laying of the storm sewer pipes, and it had not been resurfaced. The heavy rains of the past week had further loosened and weakened the soil, and the weight of the truck proved too much.
 | The huge vehicle, which was load ed with ashes, sank to the hubs. and it was two hours before a crew of men could extricate 1t. The ashes had to be removed from the truck, which may be considered fortunate for the roadway, since the were spread across the street and make a much better surface than the sand. | Complaint has been made to First Selectman John J. Kimmel regard ing this and the general conditions surrounding the laying of the pipes Piles of sand are everywhere in the streets and yards. and the whole sec tton looks like sandpit, but this situation will be remedied when the tor begins to clean up. It has been specified that he leave the streets in the condition in which he found them.
 The route of the sewer has been shifted slightly so as not to tear ul the baseball diamond on the high school field. the lines passing be- tween the catchers position and the backstop. Today the crews began work on East street. which was closed to traffic.
 Baseball Tonight
 The tail-end Standard Steel base ball team has been strengthened considerably in preparation for its game with the Businessmen tonight in the Industrial league, and the Bearing Makers hope to break their run on nine straight losses. A new pitcher has been secured and is ex- pected to stand the Merchants or their heads. if any. He is sum- mer employe at the steel shop, and he formerly was star hurler of the University of Alabama and a one time mainstay of the Connecticut Aggies pitching staff It is hoped that the league officials will sane ton his playing.
 A few new outfielders will be in the lineup tonight. They will in- clude a former tennis star, Joe Cor man. Stan Coveleski, in person, will be reserved for pinch hitting.
 The Businessmen will present their regular lineup. If they win lthe game and the Peck Spring is victorious on Thursday night the two teams will be tied for the lead That will bring the schedule to an end, but there still remain foul rained-out games to be played.

BERLIN ITALIANS
 PLAN TO PROTEST Will Forward SacCo-VanZetti
 Appeal to Governor Fuller REGISTRARS TO MEET
Resistrars Issue Notice For Sessions to Revise Caucus Lists-Grange to Hold "Economics Night Tonight Other Items of Interest.

Considerable agitation has arisen in this town and especially among the many Italian residents of Der lin, concerning the Sacco-Vanzetti protest which is being registered throughout the country.
 At a mass meeting held recently in New Britain, large delegation of local Italians was present and it is stated today that it is probable that a similar meeting will be held in this town and a formal protest sign ed and forwarded by members of the local Italian colony to Governor Fuller of Massachusetts. Speakers will probably be imported from out Af town and Fraternal Hall on Warrington avenue Is pointed out as the probable meeting place of the gathering.
 Several local Italian residents have voiced their opinion as being in favor of the release of the two men who were convicted of murder anu " HO Have 6dlllSu llle dtlSlllboll of the entire nation and countries abroad through the widespread pro- test to the decree of Justice Thayer of the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts Numerous sidewalk converse tions have indicated that the general feeling of the Italian members of the population of this town are unanimously in favor of either the cancellation of the decree of eXecu- tion or the issuance of an order for a new trial. Iealian forwarders of the movement for a petition to be forwarded from this town state that, in case such mass meeting was held, 1t would. without doubt, give voice to some protest of the present activities of the MasSa chusetts courts. The recent hunger strike of the two condemned men has gained them many sympathizers in this place and general feeling points to- wards the calling of a sympathy mass meeting in the near future.
 The Italian Fraternal society which is located in town has not yet voiced an official protest against the Sacco-Vanzetti case but rumors that the organization would soon take official steps towards the forwarding of petition are coupled with re- ports of the coming mass meeting. It Is thought probable that the local association would sponsor the meet ing of the sympathizers of the two men who are awaiting execution. Local Italians state that while the anarchistsic feeling in town Is ex- ceedingly small the two men deserve appeals from foreign born citizens. regardless of political feeling. Sacco and Vanzetti are both professed anarchists, and former protests
