Olga Eide Edwards, the petite,
pale-faced dancing girl from the

her hopes for acquittal at her

Lee. and charges she is being
"railroaded."
Amster maintains that his only
interest in the girl over a period
of IL years was that Of IAN anna
teur philanthropiSt." He has
testified that he arranged for a
500, 900 trust fund for her and
her boy "for the sage Of peace,
but that he became tired OF her
bleeding" him of money under
threats and began legal action.
Miss Edwards has civil action
in the courts in an attempt to
continue the trust fund payments
which amounted to $500 month.
She said:
II am fighting 50 that my
SON can have a chance In life.
Ths toughest part right now Is
that he is in the custody Of the
ChiIdren's Society, and I have
been unable to see him for Two
weeks. They say he Is under

Amster testified at the extor.
ton trial that Mis- Edwards told
him that she wanted "a eugenic
child" like the late Isadora Dun

ously that he is the father Ut the

REFUSES
To RUN
Former President Through
With Politics, He Writes;
Gives Prohibition Views
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

By GEORGE X. hOLMES
NEW YORK, April 10.-Calvin
Coolidge is through with public
office.
He feels that when he left the
White House year ago he LETT
it for good, and he is not in
terested in returning to Washing
ton in the role of United States
Senator.
Over his own signature. the
former President made this clear
today in an article appearing IN
Cosmopolitan Magazine. 1t am
plifies and throws new Light ON
the Coolidge philosophy, and it
particularly illunliiiates that IA
NOUS phrase Of Il do not choose
to rum" with which he electrified
the country in August OF 1927.
Gets Relief
He writes:
.When / left washington I
left public office. II is an in
!. comprehensive relief and i
have NO intention Of returning
to it."
That was the way he felt on
March 4, 1929, and the way he
still feels. He has little patience
with the suggestion that he stand
for the Senate, as he was urged
to do this winter. He said:
'Tf were in the Senate. 1t
would not be agreeable to many
of my colleagues, and with all
my desires to be helpful, it
would probably Oftentimes be
an embarrassment to the Ad-
miniStratiOn.
ITO have a former President
in Washington exercising poll
tical power would result in all
kinds Of uncomfortable comph-
cations. Only the necessity Of
serving in some national crisis,
so great as to subordinate all
other considerations, would
warrant it,"
And again referring to the
presidency. he continues:
"NOr do i have any SyIn.
pathy with those who are dis
cuSsing again making me
President. The service that l
could give to the people in that
office l feel is DONE"
Gives CredO
In his latest contribution to
current literature Coolidge steps
outside the historical limitations
he has hitherto imposed upon
himself, and discusses many
things-what he thinks about pro-
hibition, the tariff, the stock
market, how to mind ones own
business-in fact, he states the
Coolidgian credo of how an ex-
President should deport himself.
A good deal of space is devoted
to prohibition, and on that all
absorbing subject the former
President has this to say:
Considering that people have
differed most radically on the
best method of regulating the
sale Of liquor for generations.
it is not likely to be settled for
a long time to come"
