CALF. ARIZONA
COMMISSIONERS
ON RIVER MEET

PHOENIX, Aug. 5 up = The joint
session of the Arizona and California
Colorado river commissions came to a
close today following an all day meet
ing in the capital The meeting today
differed from the two hour session of
yesterday in that it was an executive
session attended only by the members
of the two commissions, the advisory
committee of the California commits
sion, and Frank P Trott, state water
commission for Arizona.
Although no definite proposals were
submitted during the sessions of the
two commissions for the division of
the water and power of the river
among the lower basin states, the two
commissions mutually expressed an
earnest desire to effect an agreement
which would settle the problems of
the lower basin states, giving each
their Just and equitable rights in the
river.

was emphasized today at the summer
White House that President Coolidge
is planning to leave office March 4,
1929, but no amplification of his state
ment on Tuesday that 'T do not
choose to run for president in 1928, .
was forthcoming. Nor is one eX-
pected.
The full force of his statement
was brought home to the president
today when newspapermen meeting
with him for the first time since he
gave his terse announcement on
Tuesday asked him about his plans
after retiring from the White House.
It hadn't occurred to Mr.. Coolidge,
it was said that he needed to be
thinking about what he will do after
he leaves office. Work has been COM
ing his way SO fast that he had never
thought he would have to look for
it. However, he felt it would continue
coming in the future.
Although numerous questions were
placed before the president in writ
ing asking him about his announce
ment all we're disposed of with the
declaration that he had nothing tC
add to the statement.

MOVIE ACTRESS
SHOOTS HUBBY;
LANDS IN JAIL

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. 5 lR-A
romance Of Russian intrigue ended here
today with Mrs. Irene Presniakoff, 25,
known on the screen as Irene Preston,
in jail and her husband, Logee Pres
niakoff, 35, also of the films, nursing
superficial bullet wound in his
shoulder, the result Of a shot fired by
his wife.
"She telephoned me to come see her
and then she shot me- was Pres
niakott'S story to the police.
"He called me woman of the
streets, then I shot him." was her YER
sion of the affair.
The actress story of her romance
with Presniakoff, as told to detectives
was one of the most dramatic to find
it's way into the colorful records of the
Hollywood police.
She was the daughter of the court
surgeon to the czar. Presniakoff was
lieutenant in the Russian army al
the opening of the World war. The
overthrow of the czar also upset theil
marriage plans. A marriage in Shang-
hal followed months of terror in es-
caping from RuSsio 0Gs show
ed scars OF wounds received in Petro-
grad street fighting.
Work in motion pictures was blamed
by her for the estrangement with hel
husband. Her last employment wa

"She will kill be at the first oppor
tunity," Presniakoff told the police il
demanding that his wife be jailed.

President Coolidge
Has nolPLar1s Except
To Quit Office 1929

Later in the conference a discus
sion arose about the convening ii
another naval disarmament confer
ence in 1929 and the newspapermen
were reminded that Mr.. Coolidge
would be out of office on March 4 of
that year and therefore he did not
consider he could be involved in such
a conference.
This served further to convince
those of Mr.. Coolidge's immediate as
sociates that he would not consider
running again under any circum-
stances.
But there were very few, it must
be said, among the newspaper
and even among the Coolidge house
hold who cling to the belief that ii
the nomination is rendered to the
president he would accept it. These
call attention to the announcement
of William M Butler, chairman OF
the Republican national committee
and close friend of the president
which said he was not convinced
Mr.. Coolidge would decline the
nomination.
Meanwhile the president is care
fully avoiding any hint that he
might favor one candidate above an
other for the Republican nomination
and if he has any choice it certain
ly had not been revealed.
1t was emphasized today at the
executive offices that Secretary
kellogg would carry the message O

bridge at Buffalo on Sunday. Vict

COOLIDGE PLANS
NO MORE TALKS
0 N DISARMING
No Foundation Exists for
RulnOrs of Another
Conference, Said

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 5 tP)-
President Coolidge knows of no foun>
dation for the rumor that he will
call another conference on the hmita-
i ton of naval arnamertS.
The question, of course, is one
which must be left open, he believes,
since no one can forecast at this
time what suddenly might develop to
make another conference advisable
but regarding his present intentions,
they include no desire to reopen the
Geneva discussions.
Mr.. Coolidge considers that it may
be said positively no meeting wilt
be called by him in 1929. 1t was
recalled that the president leaves
office March Of that year and
he believes there could not possibly
be time in three months to call a
meeting, reach an agreement and
frame treaty upon which the senate
could act.
The contention is held by Mr..
Coolidge that in spite of the failure
OF the Geneva conference the utmost
| friendly feeling and cordial under
standing continues to exist between.
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan and he does not expect the
break to have any serious effect upon
| the peace of the world. The three
nations went into the conference with
an open mind, he believes, and al
though their differences of opinion
were too great to permit an agree
ment, he sees no reason why serious
consequences need be expected.
The first demonstration of this
countrys good will for Great Britain
will take place Sunday when Secre-
tary Kellogg speaks at the dedica-
ton of the international peace bridge
between Buffalo and Canada. His
message will reflect the sentiment:
of the Washington government and
accordingly President Coolidge viii
send no special communication.
! In Mr.. Coolidge's opinion, it is toe
early to say what effect the Geneva
breakup will have on the future nava
policies of the three countries. He
considers this country's viewpoints ol
the Geneva discussion were set forth
fully and carefully by Ambassador
Gibson and by an auxiliary state
ment by Secretary Kellogg and Oh
these the president intends 10 res
this country's case.

eel to foreign affairs today, he let i
be known that this country's position

Of a new type.
found in her right breast was found
this morning in the WaShroom of the
Brooklyn Manhattan city hall subway
station. Police think the shooting oc-
CURED about four hours before the
body was found.
1t was at first believed the woman
killed herself, but no pistol was found.
An attempt had been made to mop up
blood from the Washroom floor.
Police speculation evolved a picture
of the murderer waiting, pistol in hand,
until a subway train roared into the
station. Then, with its deafening noise
to muffle his shot, the slayer, II a
man, shot his victim.
The woman was identified as Mrs
Emma Weigand, 80 years old, of the
Bronx. She left home this morning
Mrs. F'rieda Ahles said, to take hel
eight year old daughter to the Man
haitian eye and throat hospital to have
her tonsils taken out. Two other chill
dren we're left at home.
Mrs. Ahles said Mrs. Weigand had
been living with her since separating
from her husband three years ago.
A woman told police she saw a tai
man running out of the woolworth
building entrance to the subway just
before the body was found.

SaccO and Vanzetti Will
Ask New Trial. Other
Facts Discovered.

BOSTON, Aug. 5 R)-The legal
procedure by which consel for Nicola
Saeco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti Iope
to stay their execution, now set for
some time after next Wednesday
night, was being formulated today,
but the exact steps remained Shrouded
IN mystery in the absence OF a defin-
ite statement from Arthur D. Hill,
who has been engaged to continue
the fight for freedom for the two
internationally known radicals.
Hill was cloSeted in his office most
of the day with a number of men
who have been identified with the
case. These included professor Felix
Frankfurter, of Harvard; Herbert
Ehrmann, associate of William CT.
Thompson, who resigned yesterday
as counsel for the condemned men;
and M. E. Muzmanno, Pittsburgh
attorney, who now is working with
the Sacco-V -Vanzeti defense commit
tee.
During the day Attorney Hill called
in Francis L. Sayre, of the Harvard
law school, who remained with him
the greater part of the afternoon.
GOIl-l11~1GsW VI O1lC 1cIGC IlCO1-
dent Wilson, told newspapermen he
believed legal action would be taken
in the United States district court
in Boston
While Attorney Hill remained silent
on his probable course cf action, the
defense committee, through Attorney
Mu1manno, definitely announced that
counsel for the condemned men would
go before a justice in the Norfolk
county superior criminal court at
DedhaIn tomorrow and ask for a
new trial OH the grounds of newly
discovered evidence.
Attorney Muzmanno said that Hill
was preparing the petition. The al
legged new evidence is the discovery
made in the course of Governor
Fuller's investigation of the case of
an American Express company re-
ceipt for a barrel of live eels. The
cells were shipped from Boston to
Vanzetti in Plymouth on December
20, 1919, four days before the day OF

Giant Warriors Make Cra-

Across in Tests.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5 (Pl-The most
formidable air dreadnaught to be con-
Structed in the United States, and
possibly in the world, has been secret
ly completed for the United States
army by the keystone Aircraft cor
poration of Bristol, Pa, it was an
weigh 10000 pounds when fully loaded.
The giant warrior of the air is so
equipped that 1t could rock an area
nearly a mile square with the dis
charge of single one-ton bomb,
said Richard Blythe, press represen-
tative of the corporation. He an
nounced that the battle plane was
scheduled to take the air for the first
time Wednesday, after two and half
years devoted to its development.
The third huge bomber to be secret
ly completed for the army. this sum-
mer, the keystone craft, called a
Super Cyclops" differs from its two
predecessors in that it's wings are en-
tirely of metal and that it is equipped
to carry a considerably greater load
of explosives and more machine guns.
The Fokker bombing monoplane, the
second of the trio to be completed,
was flown from the Fokker plant at
Hasbrouck Heights, N. j., to Mitchell
field, NJ Y, on its maiden flight to-
day. 1t mounts two machine guns,
one in turret in the nose and one
amid-ships in the fusilage, and carries
a ton of bombs.
The first of the great air warriors
to be completed for the government
this summer was the CurtiSS Condor,
a biplane, as is the Super -Cyclops,
which recently was tested at Mitchell
field and last week was flown to Will
bur Wright field, Dayton, Ohio, for
bombing tests. The Fokker bomber
is scheduled to follow it to Dayton as
soon as tests at Mitchell field are
completed.
THE SUPER -Cyclops and the Condor
each bristle with six machine guns,
although the keystone ship is so built
that a disappearing turret carrying
four more guns may be installed back
of the bomb room in her 1uSelage'
giving the ship ten guns and COM
plete circle of fire. All three planes
are bi-motored, the keystone cFaIS
mounting two Packard engines OF o5O
horsepower each.
The Condor carries 2,4OO pounds Of
explosives, while the Super -Cyclops IS
equipped to carry a military load" OF
four tons. How much of this military
load will be given over to explosives
has not been determined, but one ton
Of it will be devoted to single bomb.
This charge, military officials stated,
is sufficient to cause severe shock over
radius of half a mile from where 1t
falls, and to break windows and 90
other damage for distance OF nearly
mile. In recent army experiments
one-ton bombs made craters in the
earth 100 feet across.
