Conservatives Closing Rift,
Macdonald May Retire
From Cabinet.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The outstanding feature in interna-
tional politics is today the endeavor
of the British and French statesmen to
get together and work out a common
agreement before the Limitation of
Arms Conference meets again on
April 9.
This move overshadows, in the opin-
ion of Washington diplomats, every
cluding the threatened breakdown of
the Chinese-Japanese truce pourpar-
leurs at Shanghai
The fruitless debates which have
taken place at Geneva since the open
ing of the Disarmament Conference
have convinced the British and the
French governments that the only
thing that might save, if not the con-
ference. the precarious situation in Eu-
rope. would be an understanding for a
close cooperation between Great Brit
ain and France.

CHICAGO, March 29.-Organized

Crime Commission, that two-thirds Of
all unions in the city were controlled

Borah at Washington. Secretary-T Treas
urer Victor A. Olander of the Illinois
Federation of Labor yesterday termed
the charges "maliciouSly untrue" and
based on information from the Employ

said "Specializes in attacks upon labor
unions"
Loesch voiced his accusations in urg-
ing the Senate judicial subcommittee,
OF Which Borah is chairman, to affirm
the promotion of Federal District Judge
James II. Wilkerson, who sentenced Ca
pone to ii years Imprisonment, to the
circuit bench. Organized labor has op-
posed the promotion and OlanderS

Loesch already faces a $3.50 900 dam

COOLIDGE is CALLED
FINE 1886 PROSPECT
Would Like to Be President Again,
Prof. Holcombe, Authority
on Politics, Thinks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 29.-
Calvin Coolidge, in the opinion OF
Prof. Arthur H. Holcombe of Harvard,
international authority on political
affairs, will be "an excellent presidential
prospect in 1885,
The conjecture may be safely haz-
arded," Prof. Holcombe said, that CAL
vim Coolidge would like to be President
again. His problem, from strictly per-
Sonal point of view, is much like that
of Theooore Roosevelt after his retire
ment from the presidency in 1909"
He recognized that President Taft
would be entitled to denomination at
the end of his first term, and that ur-
der normal conditions he (RooSevelt)
would not properly take the nomination
away from Taft in 1912.
Roosevelt seems to have intended. or
at least TO have hoped, to run for the
presidency in 1916, leaving Taft to
stand or fall in 1912, but the La Fol-
lette Progressives forced his hand. =
Calvin Coolidge will not repeat
Roosevelt's mistakes. If he retains his
health he should be an excellent pros
pect in 1886 whether Hoover wins or
loses this year"

There has been increasing agitation
