M'NAMARA APPEAL
TO COME JUNE II

The case OF Allan Mcnamara under
sentence Of death. will be argued be-
fore the supreme court June II by his
attorney, Ralph Davis.
Mcnamara was found guilty of crimi-
nal assault on Mary Thompson, II. by
a jury in First criminal court last Octo-
ber The girl, on motion for a new
trial, admitted by affidavit that she
had not stated the truth about the
case during the trial, but the motion
was overruled, and Mcnamara was SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair.
The brief in the Mcnamara case,
which Mr. Davis drew. contains 90
pages Originally it contained more
than twice that number but, because
McNamara's relatives could not pay for
the printing OF it, it was trimmed to
the present size, The printer charged
Sl25 page for printing the brief, ac-
Cording to Mr.. Davis
The main reliance Of the defendants
attorney as contained in the brief is
the fact that jurors who had formed
opinion in the case were seated in the
jury box when the defenses peremp-
tory challenges were exhausted

FUTURE OF GASTON
MARKET AT STAKE

Continuation of a curb market under
city supervision at CASTOR park de-
pends entirely upon the patronage
given that market on Saturday Lack
of interest and patronage by the resi-
caused Horace Johnson, commissioner,
and j. Fl. Tull, market superintendent
to reach decision to suspend opera
tion of the market after Saturday un-
less the patronage is increased to a
marked degree.
Other sections of the city are clamor-
ing for the curb markets. Commissioner
Johnson says and for that reason there
is absolutely no necessity for continu-
ing to operate market where the resi-
dents of that section don't give 1t their
support.
The curb market at Market square
and Forrest park have been very sue
cessful, in fact the residents Of the
Forrest park section are asking for a
market three days In each week This
will not be given, however. until other
sections have been taken care of.
Citizens living in the vicinity of De
Soto park, Willis park and Bickford
park, have urged the establishment of
curb markets in their respective sec
tions and these localities will doubt
less be taken care of in the near fI-
ture.
Announcement has also been made
that the date of the markets at Market
square would doubtless be changed next
week to Tuesdays and Fridays. Def
mite dates for opening other markets

GIVE WOOD FIRST
CHANCE, LOWDEN
NEXT, THEN CHAOS

Lowden forces on edge by continually
pointing or gesturing in the direction
of Leonard Wood
If johnson threw his delegates to
Wood, the eminent major general would
win this nomination in walk So
long, however. as johnson thinks there
is remote chancellor him to win, he
will not withdraw in anybody's favor
So 1t is necessary for the managers
who oppose Wood to keep dangling be-
fore Johnson the prospect Of winning
the nomination himself.
1t is interesting to record in this con-
nection that Senator johnson has had
within the last "a hours conferences
with Tobia Hert, manager of the Low
den boom, and with John T. King, who
represents Senator Penrose. Both King
and Hert are vehemently opposed to
the Wood candidacy and to Frank
Hitchcock. Mr. Hitchcock, by the way,
is represented as having told Massa-
chusetts delegates that If he wins this
fight for Wood, Will Hays will be dis
placed as national chairman, and the
former postmaster=general will run the
campaign.
So the messages are carried back and
forth and the bluffs and feints are
made in the great nominating game.
johnson is really out of it and is pow
erful only in that he, can name the
presidential candidate by releasing his
delegates and withdrawing in favor of
another contender. The belief persists
that when he is once convinced that
he can't win, he will go on the ticket
with Philander G. Knox, former secre-
tary of state, former attorney general
former friend of Roosevelt and Taft,
and unquestonably the man who would
find favor not merely with the all
important Pennsylvania delegation,
which is one of the three holding the
balance of power, but with the New
York and Massachusetts, delegations.
Mr.. Knox. who was first brought out
by Penrose, would inherit the Lowden
strength in New York and Massachu-
setts, and together with Pennsylvania
this would be enough to win. 1t may be
necessary to make the ticket Knox
and Coolidge to catch the fancy OF
Massachusetts and If that isn't possi-
BILE there are some Lowden delegates
in populous Ohio who might be brought
into camp by making the ticket Knox
and Harding.
All these moves are under considera-
tion as the convention makes an ef-
fore to finish it's business by Saturday
night. a deadlock in the balloting
would upset all calculations and keep
the convention here TO the middle OF
next week.

GOMPERS RAPS c. or.
LABOR DECLARATION
Plank Directly Contrary to De-
mands, Says A. F. L. Chief.

MONTREAL, June 1.-THE labor
plank adopted by the Republican ma
tional convention was condemned here
today by Samuel Gompers. president
OF the American Federation OF Labor
He referred especially to the section
OF the plank providing for the settle
ment of public utilities strikes by trib-
unals similar to the Esch- Cummins
transportation act of 1929
The plank, Mr. Gompers asserted, is
directly contrary to what labor had de-
manded of the Republican party.
We had asked the convention to go
on record in favor of the repeal of the
compulsory arbitration sections of the
transportation act" he added, q.
but the Republicans appear to have not
only refused our suggestion but would
extend 1t to all utilities"
Mr.. GOmpers arrived here today from
Chicago where he had presented labor's S
demand TO the Republican convention s
platform committee.
