ATHENS June 26.-King Alexander
formally announced today he had in
trusted former Premier Venizelos with
the task of forming a new cabinet. At
the request of King Alexander, Pre-
mier Zaimis and his ministers agreed
to withdraw until late today the date
on which their resignations become
effective. The presumption here is that
the king desires to have no lapse in
governing authority between Zai-
mis- ministry and that to be formed.
King Alexander has notified the allied
officials that he wished Venizelos to
head the new ministry.

Boston. Jan. 24.--Jess PomeEOy

Pomeroy two years later was lock-
ed up in a cell lighted from win
dow in the ceiling so that he might
not gaze on his fellow men. He was
exercised apart from other prisoners
and barred. as far as possible, from
human companionship. Two years,
ago the sentence was enforced less
vigorously to accord with modern
IDEAS of prison reform. He was al
lowed more opportunities for exer-
else in the prison yard, and was al
lowed to attend church services twice
on Sundays, sitting apart from the
other men.
Now, at the age of 81 years, Pom

can see passersby, will be allowed 10

with them at church services and at
the prison entertainments and will

health will permit. Gov. Mccall an

Pomeroy was convicted of the bru-

had terrorized the South Boston and
Dorchester districts of this city. He
was sentenced to be hanged hut be-

Chief Points of Address.

The chief points of the Presidents
address were:
That Il lasting peace in Europe can
not be peace of victory for either
side.
That peace must be followed by i
definite concert of power to assure
the world that no catastrophe of war
shall overwhelm II again.
That in such a concert of power
the United States can not withhold
its participation to guarantee peace
and justice turnout the world.
And that before a peace is made
the United States Government should
frankly formulate tho conditions up
on which II would feel justified In
asking the American people for their
formal and solemn adherence.
