WILL ROGERS WON'T RUN.

In a letter to the Kansas City Star, Will Rogers, who subscribed himself the only ex-candidate," de- clared he will not be candidate for President or any other office He said he not only did not choose to run but T won't run"
 Will gave several reasons for his absolute refusal to enter politics as candidate for office. Ons of the reasons was that the National tickets are already made up He said the Republicans will nominate Hoover and Curtis and the Democrats will nominate Gov Roosevelt and Democrat from the West or South.
 Another reason, he said, for refusing to be candidate is that it takes a lot of money even to be beaten for President and no campaign funds have shown ED in his neighborhood up to

War is no contradiction to the

dations. Under capitalism, equal
economic progress o. the individual

| state the following reason for
ny vote on today's measure: This
war, which was desired by none
of the participating nations, did
not break out for the good of the
German or fo any other people. 1t
is an imperialist war, war for
capitalist domination of the world
market, for the political control of
important colonial regions by in
dustrial and financial capital. From
the point of view of competitive
ornaments, it is a preventive war,
Matched in the dark of a semi
absoiutism and secret diplomacy
by the German and Austrian war
parties acting jointly. 1t may also
be considered Bonapartist enter
prise for the generalization and
the destruction of the rising labor
movement. The past few months
have shown this with increasing
clearness, in spite of a ruthless
campaign of misrepresentation.
The German slogan: Against
Czarism!", like the present English
and French slogan: against Mile
tarismp', pursued the purpose OF
modifying the noblest instincts, the
revolutionary traditions and aspir-
ations of the people, in the service
Of national hatred. Germany, the
accomplice of Czarism, and to this
cay a pattern of political back
wardness, has no mission to act as
liberator of nations.

COOLIDGE BEAT HOOVER IN TOTAL
 SPEECHES MADE
Alleged Loquacity of Pres- ident Outstripped By Sphinx Former President Score Coolidge 52, Hoover 40
By PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Corrcspondent


 Washington, April 16-(UP) = President Hoover's record for speech making has fallen far below that of his predecessor, whose loquacity or lack of it was frequently com pared with that of the Sphinx. it was disclosed today at the White House.
 According to records of the exe- cutive office, MT Hoover has made just 40 speeches since his inaugura- tion two years ago last March 4. President Coolidge delivered 52 ad- dresses in a shorter period, the last two years of his administration.
 While Mir Coolidge was facetious- ly known throughout the country as silent Cal" the record indicates he delivered more speeches during his six years of office than any other president has made in eight years. MT Hoover is listed second to MT Coolidge upon the record he has made thus far.
 Development of radio is given as the reason for the recent increase in presidential addresses. The frs, ten presidents together did not make as many as the 92 addresses de. livered by Mir Coolidge and NJ Hoover in the past eight years. | With the hookups now offered by broadcasting companies, a president may sit in his study in the White House and address a gathering in San Francisco with the entire coun- try listening in. The workability of this arrangement was demon strated Monday and Tuesday, when MT Hoover reached millions of per- sons with three addresses under different auspices, going no further than city block from the executive mansion.
 MT Hoover favors the radio, al- most to the exclusion of speaking trips. He has taken but two such journeys outside Washington since he has been president. one the first year of Cincinnati, Detroit, and Louisville, and another the second year, to Cleveland, Boston and Kings Mountain, S. c.
 One more is in contemplation for this year. He will speak June IS, 16, and 17 at Indianapolis, Marion, Ohio, and Springfield, Ills.
 According to his secretary, Theo- dore Joslin, no other speaking trips are being considered. Joslin indi- cated the proposed journey to the National Parks and the far west IS now believed out of the question. He predicts MT Hoover will remain in Washington during most of the summer, relying upon the radio for the most part to reach au- diences.

ROBBERY PLOT AT CAPITAL WIPED
 VERY CLEVERLY
Public Spirited Citizen and Federal Post Office In= spector, Posing as Ma chine Gunner, Did the Trick

Washington. April 16-CUP)-A public spirited citizen and federal post office inspector posing as "a Brooklyn machine gunner" last light were disclosed as having baked an alleged plot to hold up the District of Columbia disbursing office.
 The story of their counter-plot, was told last night by police after the arrest of Arthur Allen Fischer. clerk in the district auditors of- fee, and Philip Kay Stumm. alias Robert Dixon, on charges of com plicity to commit felony. Police would not reveal the names of the citizen and the inspector.
 Last night the daring daylight holdup plans were laid, according to police. in hotel room. Partici- pating in the arrangements were the federal agent and the unnamed cit izen. In the next room. straining their ears against the thin partition, were police lieutenant and two detectives.
 Decoration day, the detectives said, was tentatively set as the date for the hold-up. when. it was eX- pected, about $130.OO0 loot would be available at the district auditors S office.
 The federal agent suddenly threw open a window, cXclaiming: "Whew, it's hot in here!"
 That was the pre-arranged signal. A few. minutes later Fischer and Stumm, with the agent and the citi- zen, walked from the hotel. Three men with drawn revolvers stopped them.
 What is this, a hold up" asked Fischer.
 You bet it is, and it will be fin ished at headquarters" Police Lieutenant Weber reported. According to the police version, a few days ago Fischer was ap- preached by Stumm in the guise of panhandler. What followed they do not know, but detectives assert that day or two later Stumm set about finding "a machine gunner | to assist in the hold-up. The unnamed citizen was ap- preached, the story goes on. With. out giving cause for suspicion, ht told police what he had learned and was asked to go through witl the alleged plot. The post office in spector was assigned to help him posing as killer from Brooklyn" A conference was arranged and DO | lice were tipped.
