Disappearing With Good
Crop Prospects.

Mrs. Coolidge Receives Chicks as
Pets-Shefield Still Guest
at Lodge.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG,
staff Correspondent of The Star

STATE GAME LODGE. Black Hills,
s. D., July 9.-President Coolidge was
given assurance this afternoon that
the economic depression in the West is
rapidly disappearing and that the
prospects for this section are that it
now is ready to enjoy its full share of
the so-called good times that have
been prevailing throughout the re-
mainder of the country.
This optimistic report was brought
to the Summer White House by a
group of Burlington Route and North.
ern Pacific Railway officials, who
have been making a study of business
and crop prospects in the West. They
told the President that they base their
rosy predictions upon the crop pros
poets west of the Missouri River.
They explained that their survey
showed that the agricultural outlook
was never better. East of the Mis-
souri, River, where the season has
been backward, the outlook for corn
has been greatly improved as a re.
suit OF plentiful sunshine.
In this group were Howard Elliott,
chairman of the board of the North
ern Pacific and director of the Chi.
cago, Burlington & Quincy; Hale
Holden, president of the Burlington,
and Charles E. Perkin, a director of
both roads and vice president in
charge of traffic of the Missouri Pa
cific road.
President Pleased at Report.
These callers said afterward that
the President seemed highly pleased
with the report they brought to him.
and that he was especially glad to
know that the crop outlook for the
West was so promising. These rail.
road chiefs explained to the President
that they, along with a number of the
other operating officials of the Bur.
lington. are making a general inspec.
ton trip In the West in preparation
for the successful moving of next
years crop in the territory their road
serves.
These officials stated that while in
the vicinity of the Black Hills they
wanted to call at the lodge merely for
the purpose of paying their respects
to the President and Mrs Coolidge
and to wish them happy vacation in
this section. They stated that they
called for no other purpose.
The President, however, insisted
upon his callers grouping their chairs
about him on the front Veranda for a
chat, which lasted more than half an
hour and during which they -dVised
him of their observations in the West.
Mr.. Elliott said afterward that the

POLICE STILL SEEK
MURDER SOLUTION
Probe of Dairyman's Death
Fails to Develop Any
Material Evidence.
By a staff Correspondent Of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, July 9.-With
60 hours of investigation not even
netting sufficient evidence to warrant
the detention of suspect, the muir
der of Edward L. Mills, As years,
prosperous Hunting Hill dairyma n,
ostensibly on account of love tri.
angle, tonight promised to take its
place as the second unsolved murler
of Montgomery County within the
past six weeks. The other recent
murder which Montgomery County
authorities failed to solve was that
of William Ross, 69.year-old night
watchman, who was beaten to death
with a hatchet by murderer who then
fired his shack on Wisconsin avenue,
just across the District line.
Neighbors of the Mills family and
residents of the Hunting Hill COM
munity, which is A miles from
here, from the start have regarded
the arrest of at least one principal in
the murder as a matter of certainty
and the fact that the investigating Of
ficers have been forced to admit to-
night they are far from a solution is
causing caustic criticism to be direct
ed against them.
Crowd Attends Funeral.
Temporarily dropping conjecture
over the Mills murder, approximately
$50 residents of the immediate region
iourneyed to the little Travila Bap-
tist Church this afternoon to attend
the funeral of the murdered dairy
man. So packed was the church that
scores were forced to stand outside.
After the service the majority of the
number wended their way with the
funeral procession to Gaithersburg,

moral and material aid to a struggle that has for
its aim the breaking OF the backbone Of Imperialism

China Faces The Philippines

I T was not very long ago that General Chang
kai She&, in interview with an American
newspaper correspondent called the attention of the
Fipinos to the fact that the road to complete in
dependence lay in definite anti-imperiast struggle
against the United States With the continuing
success Of the nationalist forces in China the truth
of this assertion becomes indelibly clear
Since the zeal of the United States for fair cleo
tons has forced it to go to the expense of dis
patching marines to Nicaragua, and since the re-
cent tilt with Mexico the question of the Philippines
has sunk into the background. The Thompson re-
port with its excuses for unlimited retention Of the
islands under American domination, however, safely
rests in the presidential files for future reference:
and no occasion will be lost to it at the proper
lime
But just the Strawn report on eNtra-territcri-
atty was so much waste paper at the time it was
printed due TO the entirely changed situation in
China by the time the learned Chicago lawyer
reached home, so the Thompson report is more than
slightly affected by the very same shift in Asatic
politics. With unified nationalist China the inn
portance of the Philippines a spearhead of United
States Imperialism is magnified tremendously

plete domination of the United States, assumes an
