If volume hadn't been good last

would have been sunk. Static began
rather early and, instead of abating.
it continued fast and furious, ham,

was noticed.

Unexpected
WITHDRAWAL
MADE TUESDAY
II Do Not Choose to Run
For President in 1928"
Reads Statement.
POLITICAL BOMB
Sensation Created in Poll
tics by Simple Message
From Executive.

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 2 R-
President Coolidge today issued the sim
pie statement that "I do not choose to
run for president in 1928" taking his
close associates by complete surprise.
This typewriter announcement was
handed to neWSpapermen by Mr. Cool
idge in his executive office at noon
today and a faint smile lighted his
face as he replied to the astounded
group that there was no comment.
The fourth anniversary of his TAX
ing the oath of office upon the death
of Warren G.. Harding was selected by
the president for making the an
nouncement which tonight seemed to
have lighted the fires of the 1923 po-
htical campaign.
But as the wires buzzed throughout
the remainder of the day with COM
ment of democratic as well as repub
lican political leaders throughout the
nation, Mr.. Coolidge retreated alone
TO the quietude Of his favorite fishing
hole near the state game, lodge, where
he is spending the summer.
The statements wording seemed to
have left some political leaders still
specializing tonight Whether Mr.. Cool
idge would be brought into the ap-
preaching campaign.
Mr.. Coolidge will have served five
years and seven months at the close OF
the four year term to which he was
elected in 1924, having entered the
White House in 1923 upon the death
of President Harding. 1t was just four
years ago that Mr.. Coolidge was the
central figure in an event of world
wide interest when he took the oath OF
office by light of an oil lamp IN the
Vermont home of his father.
There are few things within reason
that Mr.. Coolidge could have done
which would have caused more COM
plete surprise here than his brief an
nouncement today. It is safe to say
that no single person with him had
the slightest inkling of what was going
to happen.
At the close of his regular Tuesday
morning conference with the press
correspondents the president requested
the newspapermen to return at noon,
and the two and a half hours con-
Sumed in waiting were fraught With
the widest range of speculation
That the announcement was TO be
of prime Importance was readily
agreed since Mr. Coolidge had never
recalled the White House correspond
ents in this manner. The announce
ment was timed it was disclosed at
the summer White House, SO that it
would reach the country after the
closing of the New York stock market.
Promptly at IL o'clock the corre-
spondents were requested to enter the
presidents private office. He sat be-

BUCHAREST, Aug. 2 tP)-King
Michael /, Rumania's deep dimpled,
golden haired, bIue-eyeG sovereign,
rcnOunced his toys and his pet
dog today to sit on the throne in
the royal palace at Bucharest where
the regency formally established
itself.
The lively little chap, whom his
grandmother, Queen Marie, calls

chievOus, impuIsive nature, was
not formally crowned as king, for
that ceremony will be only when
he is 18, but merely went through
the form of sitting upon the
throne while the regency disposed
of number of state matters.
Five year old Michael was much
interested in the lavish surround
ings in the throne room, his at
tention being called especially by
the beautiful polished hardwood
floor which he remarked in a
rather unkingIy way would make

PARIS, Aug. 2 R-With the

bia ready to hop off for re-
turn flight any time after the
end of the week, her pilot and
passenger we're still at odds to-
night.
An effort late today to reach
an agreement between Maurice
DrOuhin, the French aviator, and
Charles A. Levine, owner of the
plane, ended in another post
pOnement of the signing of the
final contract between the two.
Their lawyers will gec together
tomorrow in an attempt to COM

Today's conference lasted for
two hours and was marked by
hot discussion, during when
Levine compared DrOuhin's atti-
tude to that of LLOYD Bertaud
when the American navigator
failed to reach an agreement with
Levine after having been schcC-
uled to take the trans Atlantic
flight with Clarence ID. Cham

DrOuhin, after the conference,
said he was anxious to make the
flight but that his lawyer advised

NEGOTIATIONS
LEAD TO HOPE
Of AGREEMENT
Fourth Special Session Will
Be Called If Compromise
Effected.
SEE COMPROMISE.
Highway Legislation Will
Be Considered at Next
Session Is Hope.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 2 (P)-After
two days of caucusing and confer
ring, highway legislation renamed
at standstill tonight, with many
observers predicting that a fourth
special session will be called by the
governor.
Majority members we're hopeful
that the negotiations would meet
with success and that some progress
would be made tomorrow.
Representative Brooke of Yavapai
(majority), in placing motion for
a recess before the house for sec.
ond time today, stated that 'every
effort is being made to arrive at
some basis upon which the governor
will call another special session to
consider highway legislation" and
that a further recess was necessary
This was the first official announce
ment en- the floor of the house con-
cerning the basis upon which the
majority and the administration was
working toward an agreement.
While much of the proceedings In
the conferences were not made pub.
lie, it was generally believed that
the senate majority was studying a
list OF names submitted by the gov
ernor as his idea of possible timber
for a highway commission.
Among the conferences held today
was one between committees of the
majority members and minority
members of the senate. No an
nouncement of the results was made
however. Another conference was
between minority members of both
houses and leaders of the Good
Roads association.
The journals of the activities of
the legislature contained but few
lines. The senate convened at 1C
o'clock, referred senate bill number
2, which provides blanket appro-
priation for the payment of highway
creditors to the appropriations COM
mittee, recessed until 2 O'Clock, at
which motion was made to again
recess until 10 a. m tomorrow.

agreement.
Levine contends that he is not
required to make that deposit
until the hop off. He said that
if the French flier made too
many difficulties he would find
himself out of a job, that there
were a hundred other aviatOrs
ready to take his place.
DrOuhin and his representative,
M. Mathis, got up, took their
hats and started to walk out,
hut Levine'S lawyer induced them
to remain.
Mrs. Levine and her family
have taken passage on the
Mauretania, which sails Satur-
day. This is taken as indicating
that the Columbia is ready to
hop off very shortly, as Levine
does not wish his family here

Now that he is ruler over 49,

constantly reminded by his tutors
that he can no longer act as other
boys, but must keep ever in mind
that he is a king.
But such admOnitions as this
have no effect on his vibrant, rath-
er headstrOng nature. He still
loves to play with fire as all chill
drcn do, says his grandmother, and
is up to all sorts of other pranks.'
But probably his worst trait,
the queen says, is that he loves TO
tease dogs and cats. He was bit
ten several times by dogs, notably
last summer when the palace doc
tors gave him so much pasteur
treatment that he was sick for a
fortnight. Even this, says his
grandmother, hasn't cured him of
his love of teasing them.

Japanese Proposals
IN Geneva Parleys.
Received With Doubt

WASHINGTON Aug. 2 P0-The
complete text of the Japanese pro-
posal for a provisional four year
cruiser limitation agreement, suggest
eel al Geneva in an eleventh hour
attempt to save the three power naval
conference, reached Washington to-
day accompanied by explanatory COM
ment from Ambassador Gibson and
his naval colleagues of the American
delegation.
The project was subjected to in
tenSive study at the state and navy
departments and also was relayed to
the summer white house for the
information of President Coolidge.
To what extent it figured in a con-
ference between Kellogg and the
British ambassador, Sir Esrne How
ard, was not known, although it is
doubtful that official cablegrams had
made the proposal entirely clear
at the time.
The judgment of the Washington
government on the practicability OF
the proposal will not be expressed
to Ambassador Gibson until there has
been opportunity for exhaustive
examination Of its terms by the
technical advisors Of the administra-
ton. 1t may be necessary for furth-
er kilograms to be exchanged with
Mr.. Gibson to clear UP doubts as
to the meaning of some provisions
of the plan.

by the Washington government.
1t is recognized, however, that
agreement might be reached as to
scrapping programs and the like
which would reduce the total ton
mage in cruisers to figure more
compatible with American ideas. But
in that event Washington officials
had difficulty in seeing how the
proposal could be acceptable to the
London government.
The unreadineSS of the British
delegation to comment on the Jap
aneSe suggestions came as no sur
prise in Washington. 1t has been
obvious that the British group was
determined to press to the end for
an agreement that would prevent
the placing aboard ships of less than
10000 tons of guns of greater than
six inch calibre. The American dele
CATION is just as firmly set upon
maintaining the Washington treaty
agreement that fixes eight inch guns
as the maximum size for all cruisers
In the circumstances it appeared
doubtful to most officials here that
the British delegation could accept
proposal that left the Washington
government free TO install eight inch
guns on smaller cuisers if it SC
desired.
