New Orleans, March 22.-Father and son-one sentenced to life inn prisonment, the other condemned to hang-will join in merry jest and sparkling toast at a wedding feast set upon a long table in Gretna jail yard.
 They are old Gugliardo Jordano, whose years number seventy, and his seventeen-year- son, Frank, both of whom were convicted of the mur- der last spring of the little Cort- imiglia infant as it slept in it's mothers arms. They were also con- victed of a horrible axe attack upon the father and mother of the baby, MT. and Mrs. Charles Cortimiglia.

With deputies guarding them, the two men will take part in an elaborate feast to be held in the yard.
 Officials of the prison were soft ened by the pleas of the old man and his son to be permitted to celebrate the wedding of the girl. The old man said he had long looked for ward to the hour when his daughter would be married and the son plead ed it would be his last good time before he met death on the scaffold.
 So the feast-in the shadow of deatf-Was arranged for those about to die in ignominy and for those oth- CTS about to step around a corner into one of life's joyous highways.

FIGHTING FOR SALARIES
Hearing in New Haven Superior Court on Writ Against WalIingford Officials Relative to Teachers Pay.

New Haven, March 22.-A hearing was held before Judge James N. Webb in the superior court this morning on an alternative writ of mandamus which had been issued against Will liam J. Lum, treasurer of Walingford, in behalf of school teachers of the town, through counsel, to compel pay ment of a salary increase which had been authorized by the finance board.
 This court action was of direct in- terest to school teachers in many towns in the state where efforts had been made to secure salary increases, and where also in several instan ces legal opinion had been given that as teachers were under contract for the school year increased compensation might not be given through mere au- thorization of a, finance board.
 In the Wal1in gford case Treasurer Lum, acting under legal advice, said he could not legally pay the increased salaries to teachers who specially de- manded that their checks bearing the increase be caShed. The case which was brought by means of writ, was friendly one.

Trial. Says King. Shows Power of Administration Backed By
 Ford Cash.

Grand Rapids March 22.-Paul H. King, campaign manager for Sena- tor Truman H. Newberry in 1918 and one of the seventeen men convicted Saturday on charges of criminal1y conspiring to violate the Federal Corrupt Practices Act, in a statement last night said: The result of the trial indicates the power of the .ad- mnistration, with all of the agencies of the government at it's command, backed up by the great influence and vast wealth of Henry Ford.
 No jury and no court can make a criminal out of me nor out of my associates. We the only ones who can do that. And that we have not done nor will not do.
 There is thank God. another day and another court in which justice will ultimately be done and this monstrous thing made right.
 The right of Michigan republ- cans to conduct their own primary without presidential interference, and the right of Michigan voters freely to choose their own United States senator eventually will be vindi- cated''
 While no definite announcement has been made, it is understood Martin w. Littleton, chief of de- fense counsel, will argue the case on appeal to the United States su- preme court. It has been indicated that the appeal will be based large ly on the constitutionality of the Corrupt Practice Act and Judge Clarence W. Sessions interpretation of the act in his instructions to the jury.

 Many things contributed to this de- plorable upshoot of the presidents diplomacy" the newspaper says Ut is not for outsiders to sit in Judgment on Americas decision; nevertheless it seems tolerably plain the senators have spoken and voted amid a great deal of misconception as to the treaty as a league of nations, and that un- fortunate mental atm osphere might have been markedly improved had MT Wilson shown himself as. skilled a manager of men as he undou btedly has shown himself a lofty idealist.
 The newspaper thinks America may have a chance of putting the league to an imm ediate test regarding her. self, as she is technically at war with Germany, and asks:

Tonight, in the Berlin town court. the adjourned case of William McMa- hon, of New Britain, charged With cruelty to animals at the instance of the Connecticut Humane society, will ebe heard before Judge George G. ; -Griswold.. The case is the outcome of alleged cruel treatment to a bull McMahon had attached to the rear of his automobile to take to New Brit ain. The animal sustained severe cuts and bruises which form the basis of the charge brought. The state has three witnesses, two women and d man. Harry Taylor. local agent of the Humane society. has been instru- mental in the prosecution of the case.
 This is the first case of it's kind b come before the local court in some time. One person who saw the inci- dent, but who was not called as a Wit- neSs, said this morning that it ap peared to her that McNIahon, when he hitched the bull to the machine. did not do it with intent to hurt the . animal, but to bring it to it's feet. Tho bull, she said was very stubborn and resisted all efforts to bring it to a standing position.

The Acorn Athletic club always has had a team that ranked with the best in the state, but prom = ises local fans to put a team into the field this year that will be second to none in the state if support is given to it. Much difficulty has been expe- rienced by the kensinigton club ir former years owing to lack of sup port, the team usually being financia l. ly crippled at rhe end of the season. It is probable that several dances will be given soon to insure fund suffi- cient to begin the season with.
