 Tt is known to everybody in the , state of New York from Montauk Point to Niagara Falls that l am no coolng dove and what is more l never will be. Everything I ever got ill this world ] had 10 fight for. l did not have it handed to me on q gold platter"
 On another occasion, replying to criticism concerning his exercise of executive clemency. he said: "I was born on the lower end of the island and l come from the old fashioned kind of stock that never lets any body put anything over on him."

PRES. COOLIDGE
 MAKES NO PLANS
May Not Participate in Coming
 Campaign

Superior, Wis. June 21 tHH - President Coolidge has made nc rlans as yet to participate in the forthcoming political campaign Definite decision on what his activi- ties, If any, will be, will be reached by him later in the year. when he shall have had the opportunity to consider more carefully the situa- tion.
 In the meantime, however, Sec retary Work of the interior depart ment. who announced he would re- sign shortly from the cabinet to de- vote all his time to the chairman ship of the national republican committee. is expected to provide MT. Coolidge with some preliminary information in a visit to the sum- mer White House next week.
 No Word
 MT. Coolidge has received no di- rect word from Secretary Hoover as to whether the republican nomi- nee expects to stop over here early in July on his way to California. The chief executive expects, how ever, a call from Secretary of State Kellogg when the latter pays his annual visit to St. Paul Minn., next month.
 Mr. Coolidge has not given q thought as to how his birthday on July will be celebrated. He has merely taken it for granted that Mrs. Coolidge would produce on that day birthday cake in honor of the occasion, as has occurred in past years. John Coolidge, his son. who will reach here next Saturday or Sunday, will be present to join in whatever festivities are arranged.
 Enjoy Vacation
 President and Mrs. Coolidge have enjoyed their vacation immensely so far. They have been bothered neither by mosquitoes nor by the bad weather which prevailed for the first week Of their stay
 While the woods surrounding Cedar Island lodge are alive with mosquitoes. those do not reach the residence itself. which is as free from them as the southern portico of the White House in Washingt on.
 Mir. Coolidge is especially appre- ciatiNe of the fishing the estate pro- vides. Yesterday in only a short time he caught seven trout, includ- ing a three and one-half pound rainbow trout.
 The chief executive paid yester- day his visit of inspection to his executive offices. He stayed only a short time to acquaint himself with the layout and motored back to Cedar Island lodge.

GUARD REPElS AN l OPEN REBELLION.
Kills One and Wounds Another
 at Emira ReformatorV

Elmira, N. Y.. June 27 LP-At-
 tackled by two Elmira reformatory
 prisoners. one of whom wielded a
 hoe. Frank F'rawley. prison guard. shot one through the heart. serious
 ly wounded the other. and prevented
 escape of other in a group of 21
 he was guarding at the time in an open field.
 The dead man is Morris Caster.
 IS, of Richland. He would have been eligible to parole on October 1. Cecil Berry. IT, of Sandy Creek, the other prisoner. was shot just below the chin. the bullet lodging in the back of his neck. Frawley suffered possible fracture Of the skull. lacer- ations of the face and head. cuts and bruises on his right hand and left forearm. and badly sprained back. Both he and Berry are expect cd to recover, hospital officials here said.
 Slightly Injured Peter Apenowich, another guard on duty with Frawley, was slightly injured in the fight which followed the attack.
 The two guards had taken the 21 inmates to the reformatory farm, half mile from the institution, to plant beans. They were standing near the supply Of seed beans when Caster and Berry with, the hoe. ap- preached and attacked them from the rear. When Frawley cried out for help. the other prison inmates came running. After felling the two attackers, Frawley commanded the others at gun point to put up their hands, not knowing whether they were coming to his aid or to the aid of their fellow inmates. Frawley then called a trusty from the group and sent him to the,insti- tuition for aid while he command ed the others to stand in their places.
 Planned For Days Berry. in a statement made after the attack, according to officials, said he and Caster had planned the break for freedom for several days and had been prepared to stop at nothing 10 achieve it. Others in the groups, the officials of the institu- tion said. were believed not to have been implicated in the break.
 After an investigation by Coroner Hamilton and Superintendent Frank Christian, the coroner said he would advise the district attorney to bring charge of murder, first degree, against Berry in the event of Fraw- ley's death. Pending outcome of Frawley's injuries, he said, he would advise lodging of charge of as- sault. first degree, against Casters companion in the attack.
 The assault on the guards was the first attempted prison break here in 20 years.

 \ Storm Center
 Smith has been storm center on the prohibition question. He has frequently said he favored modi- fcation of the Nolstead Act, but
 he was opposed to the return of the saloon.
 When the legislature decided to re peal the special state enforcement law known as the Mullan-Gage act he declined to veto it and was se- verely criticized in many sections of the country.
 'I believe in enforcing the law" he said. and I believe in personal liberty could have made bet ter-looking case by vetoing this re- peal and talking about enforcement,
 but in my heart l believe the de- gree to which personal liberty is being lnterfered with in this matter is unwise, and 1 am going to take position consistent with what I believe in my heart"
 An Issue
 In 9 letter to Senator Fess of Ohio, he said; ''1 have had enough life to understand that the saloon is and ought to be defunct insti- tuition in this country
 In 1926 he said. ''1t goes with out saving that modification of the Nolstead Act is an issue" and he advised the electorate to vote Ives" on referendum, indicating that it favored modification The referen- dunn was carried by great ma jorlty
 States Rights On another occasion he said: ''I am not discussing the wisdom or unwisdom of prohibition. The question is whether all vestige of the rights of states guaranteed by the federal constitution is to be driven from our political theory of government . The federal gov ernment has no right to impose ol uolpSt!qo 6uH slels eul uodn pass any statute affirmatiNely em- bodying any federal statute" In 1900, when he was earning S7o month, Alfred F.

GROWERS HOLD
MASS MEETING
Relative Merits Of Co.
Operatives Are
Discussed

WEsLACO, Jan. 26.-At a mass
meeting of farmers Wednesday night,
called for the purpose of discussing
cooperative marketing, representa-
tives Of the two Valley eooperatives,

the plans of the two organizations
and report at a second a meeting
of farmers to be held Monday night.
A number Of meetings have been
held by directors Of the Producers
Cooperative association owe the
Valley since Monday night. At Los
Fresnos a large number of growers
were enrolled as members, and
similar results were reported in sew
eral other localities. A meeting Of
the board of directors will be held
