WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, R-Politi-
cal discussion in the national cap
ital turned largely today from Pres
ident Coolidge's announcement that
he does not choose" to run in 1923
to the prospects of the various men
whose names have been put forward
as eligibles for the Republican presi-

While none of them has made any

There was no small amount OF

Over Years, Causes
Banks Shut Down.

BISHOP, Cal, Aug. 4 R)-Every
bank in Owens valley, five in num-
Der, closed its doors to business today
Notes posted on the door and signed
by the president and cashier OF all
institutions said the action was due
to the obstructive work carried on
by Los Angeles City" in its water war
with valley ranchers.
The banks are the first National
bank of Bishop and four branches
OF the Inyo County bank, located
respectively at Bishop, Big Pine,
independence and Lone Pine. The
last four are state banks.
The notes were signed by w. w.

brothers. The former is president O.:
all four of the state banks and
cashier of the National bank, while
the latter is cashier of the four state
banks and president of the national

Will G. Wood, state superintendent
of banks, arrived here at noon today
and is supposed, though his visit was
unheralded, to have come personally
to take charge of the financial crisis
OF Inyo county. It was learned today
that state bank examiner had been
here a day or two going over the
banks affairs
The note posted on the doors
of the banks follows:
"We find it necessary to close all
of our banks in Owens valley. This
result has been brought about by
the last four years of destructive
work carried on by the city of Los
Angeles"
w. w. Watterson said late today
that the direct cause of the banks

Coolidge is Silent

DEADWOOD, S. D., Aug. 4 P9-Si-
lence which promises to continue for
a long time prevailed with President
Coolidge again today regarding his
announcement of Tuesday that he did
not choose to run for president in 1928
Taking the day off for a visit to
the frontier days celebration here,
Mr.. Coolidge dropped contact with the
outside world except for reading a
few messages telling of the adjourn
ment of the Geneva naval ornaments
conference.
Dispatch of the Associated Press
telling of the announcement by Henry
Ford that he endorsed Herbert Hoover
for the republican nomination was
passed on to Mr.. Coolidge before he
boarded the train late today for the
return to the state game lodge but he
read it in silence and without any
change of expression.
If the president has in mind any
individual whom he would prefer to
succeed himself, he has not given the
slightest inkling of it. He has left his
close associates still somewhat amazed
by the SuddenneSS and uneXpectedneSS
of his Tuesday declaration. There is
a state of nerves in the summer White
House and there are few who will do
any more propheysing about what Mr..
Coolidge might do.
1t is admitted, however, that he is
the titular head of the party and in a
position to go a long way in debating
the republican party nominee at the
convention next June if he would But
there is every indication that he has
said his say and is prepared to let the
people have theirs.
OF his present cabinet only half
have been appointed by the president,
Secretaries Kellogg, Wilbur, Davis of
the war department, Jardine and At
torney General Sargent.
Herbert Hoover took office by ap
pointment from President Harding
However, he has been one of those up
on whom Mr. Coolidge has relied con-
siderably.
When the name of Mr. Hoover is
mentioned there are some who recall
the White House statement of last
spring when the president denied that
Secretary Kellogg would retire and
then added that if he did Secretary
Hoover would not be appointed in his
place.
This was followed by a breakfast
between Mr. Coolidge and the COM
merce secretary and later by the White
House explanation that Mr. Coolidge
considered MI. Hoover too valuable in
his present post to be changed.

Speaker Given Vote of Con-
fidence for Compromise
Actions.
ACTIONS SECRET
Caucus Indicates That Dis
enting Members of Legis-
lature Agree.

PHOENIX, Aug. 4 R-Settlement of
the controversy over highway legisla-
Ulon is nearer now than at any time
since negotiations were opened dur
ing the early part of the present ses-
sion. Members of the majority and
minority compromise committee of the
legislature reported tonight. AS a re-
suit OF the progress made today leg
lslatorS are hopeful that when the
solons gather Saturday morning at
their next session they will be in posi-
tlon to proceed with the program
which is now benig worked out.
One of the first signs of a united
desire on the part of the majority and
the minority for peaceful settlement
was seen today when Speaker Craw-
ford made strong appeal for vote
of confidence in his efforts to. pro-
mote an agreement and the conf
dence was expressed without a dissent
ing vote, both majority and minority.
AT the conference Of the majority
and minority compromise committee,
the minority members presented their
idea OF a program which the minority
members OF both houses had approved
at caucus held in two sessions today.
While the nature of the suggestions
was not revealed, it was reported that
the discussions at the compromise
committees conference indicated that
chances of the majority and minority
agreeing were bright.
At the morning session Of the house,
the principal business was the pre-
sentation of the report of the appro-
priations committee on house bill %,
the old house bill 127, which was re-
drafted by the committee at Prescott
last week.
The title of the bill was changed so
as to make the prime object the pay
ment of the creditors of the highway
bill and the creation of a highway
commission to pay the claims and de-
filming other powers and duties of the
commission.
The report stated that the commit
tee, having in mind the call of Tie
governor, prepared a bill that does
cover the subject matter of the call
and while it has some other matters,
each of them is, however, related to
the subject matter of the call"
After house bill % report was dis
posed of, the house adjourned until IL
O'Clock when the joint session Of the
two houses was held to receive the
members of the California Colorado
river commission.
At both morning and afternoon seS-
Sions of the senate, the only action
taken were motions to recess, the mo-
ton at the afternoon session being the
recess until Saturday morning.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4 (49 = Frank O.
Lowden, former governor of Illinois
and frequently mentioned as candi-
date for, the republican presidential
nomination, conferred here today with
friends advancing his interests, but no
information as to his intentions was
Cbtainable
Those attending the conference
would not commit themselves on the
days discussion. Conspicuous among
the confereeS was delegation from
Iowa, headed by Major Frank L. Lund,
of Des Moines, and Clarence F. Buck,
Illinois state senator. Mr. Lowden
would not add to the previous declar-
alton that mo man has yet run away
from the presidency"
Today's conference, however, was
considered to have an important bear
ing upon the former Illinois executives
actions. He hurried here from his
summer home near Alexandria Bay,
N. Y, especially for the meeting. He
said he expected to return to Alex
andria Bay tomorrow.
Although it was said Will H. Hays,
former chairman of the republican ma
tional committee, had been called here
for the conference, Mr.. Hays could not
be found.
An important event of the days po-
litical activities was an endorsement
by Henry Ford at Detroit of Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce, as a
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton.
'E4e is the type of man to succeed
Calvin Coolidge" asserted the motor
manufacturer.
A long friendship between Mr.. Low
den and Vice President Charles G.
Dawes will prevent the latter from
entering the race for the republican
nomination so long as the former is a
possibility, says the Daily News today.
Should the nomination come to
either it would be accepted" business
and political friends for many years
say, and that their views on farm re-
lief are IDENTICAL
without LoWden's knowledge non
partisan Lowden league opened head
quarters here today with E. P. Garrity,
who organized the Coolidge-DaWes
nom partisan league in 1924, in charge.
1t was understood Mr.. LoWden'S
friends urged him to announce his
candidacy, inasmuch as the declara-
ton of Mr.. Coolidge that he does not
choose" to enter the race, put diff
ferent aspect on the republican Situa-
ton.

Secretary Kellogg Says
Failure Will Not Impair
Relations.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug. 4 R--
War between Great Britain the United
States and Japan is unthinkable de-
clared Hugh S. Gibson, Americas
chief representative, at the closing
session of the tripartite naval confer
ence today. Hence there is no rea-
son, he added, why an agreement
which has not been obtained at
Geneva, should not be reached shortly
as the result of direct negotiations
between the governments for re-
Cancellation of the divergent views.
The burial ceremony of the con-
ference, held in the presence of a
large assembly, was carried out with
out the employment of words OF re-
elimination.
When the conference adjourned
sine die, after the adoption of a
joint declaration suggesting direct
negotiations between the governments,
Mr. Blldgeman walked up the stairs
of the Hotel Des Bergues, in whose
ballroom the last act of the naval
drama was played, to- the private
office of Mr. Gibson and shook his
: American colleague warmly by the
hand This was hailed as an indlca-
ton that the first lord of the British
admiralty believed the differences be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, manifested at the conference,
were nothing more serious that a
slight family tiff.
Admiral Saito, distinguished MEM
ber of the Japanese delegation, join
ing in the thought of Mr.. Gibson
and Mr.. Bridgeman, declared in a
valedictory address that he, for one,
declined to view the results of the
conference as a rupture of negotia-
tions He was convinced, he affirmed
vigorously, that in some form or
another, attempts to limit extrava4
gance and competition in naval build
ing, already limited in practice by
common sense will continue and
eventually succeed.
The joint declaration, adoption of
which involves automatic adjourn
ment of the conference, represents
an effort to summarize the viewpoints
of the three delegations on the mat
tiers on which they agreed and on
those on which they disagreed The
declaration shows that the conference
was wrecked on two points-first
that of total tonnage limitation, or
which the British and the Americans
were unable to attain an accord;
second, on the problem of so-called
eight inch gun cruisers.
The declaration emphasizes that

BOSTON, Aug. lP)-Although
Governor Fuller has refused to eX-
tend executive clemency to Nicola
Sacco and Bartolorneo Vanvetti, prin-
,ipals in the famous murder trial, the
cng battle to- save the lives of the
wo men has not ended.
Today while the minutes Of the
last week of life for the condemned
men licked away, it became known
that the attorneys who had fought
their case before the state supreme
court and the governor had retired,
and that new counsel had been re-
tanned to take any further legal steps
possible to avoid the electric chair.
Arthur D. Hill, Boston lawyer, who
formerly was associated with Fred
Moore, of California, in the Sacco-
Vanzetti defense, was selected as the
new attorney He refused to discuss
reports that the United State dis
trict court or the United States su-
preme court would be approached
in an effort to stay the hand of the
executioner.
"I have been consulted with view
to seeing what steps of a legal nature,
lif any, can be taken in the cir
sunlstances," he said. cit is not pos
sible at this time to make any further
statement"
The retirement of William G..
Thompson and Herbert Ehrmann, who
have had charge of the defense in
the proceedings before the supreme
court looking to a new trial for Sacco
and Vanzetti, was based on the
n fNA
"untralnmeled by the. commitments
Of the past and less disturbed than
we by a sense of injustice"
In a lengthy statement issued late
today the retiring counsel criticized
the secrecy with which Governor
Fuller conducted his personal investi-
cation of the Sacco-V -Vanzetti case
and referred to the fact that the
decision of the advisory committee
named by the governor to conduct
an independent investigation had not
been made public.
While their friends were studying
new means of averting their death
sentence, now set for August 10, Sacco
and Vanzetti in the death house at
the Charleston state prison heard with
little show of emotion the news that
the governor had refused to intervene
in their behalf.
Sacco professed to have expected
an adverse verdict, but Vanzetti, more
optimistic, indicated surprise.
Attorney Thompson went to the
prison to break the news to the con-
demned men. With him went Mrs.
Rose Sacco, wife of one Of the pris-
! oners, and Aldino Felicani Of the
Sacco- -Vanzetti defense committee.
