DENIED RETRIA[
IN MURDE R CASE.
SaCCO and Vanzetti Lose
Their First SkirmiSh in
Their Fight to Set Aside
Verdict of Jury.
By The Associated Press.)

Dedham, Mass, Dec. 24.--Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomoe Vanzetti,
convicted Of the murder of a pay
master and his guard at South
Braintree in September, 1920, lost
the first skirmish in their fight to
set aside the verdict, when Judge
Webster Thayer, in the criminal
court here today denied two of the
pending motions for a new trial.
Certain questions raised on points
ot law, as to insufficiency of tho
evidence the court ruled, did not
warrant a re-trial.
The case has attracted wide at
tention and has been the subject of
radical demonstrations in Europe,
South America and Mexico. Coun-
sci for the convicted men were
granted permission to file exeep-
.tions of the decision and signified
that they were ready TO take the
case to the supreme court. The de-
cision came at the close of argu-
menlS on a supplementary motion
for Il new trial based on alleged inn
proprieties in the jury room. This
motion was taken under advisement
by the court and remained to be
disposed of.
Sacco and Vanzetti were con-
Quoted from the Jail to the court
house under heavy guard and both
state and city police were stationed
about the building. only few
pers] MS listened to the proceedings
in the court room,
In his findings on the original
motion for a new trial, Judge Thay-
er reviewed at length the evidence
and the alleged circumstances sur
rounding the fatal shooting of
Frederick A. Parmonter, the pay
amster. and Allesandro Bernardelli,
the guard. He said it would be
necessary for him to find that the
jury either mistoOk or abused their
trust before he would be justified
in setting aside their verdict.
This | cannot find for two rea-
sons he said. "First, because there
were volumes Of testimony intro
duced by both sides upon every i'm
pOrtant issue raised at the trial
which was vigorously contested and
scrupulously argued by counsel on
each side: and second, because
there was no evidence produced at
the hearing upon the motions for
new trials that even tended in the
least degree to prove that the jury
abused their trust"

AIR TRAVEL IN

tBy The Associated Press,

Paris Dec. 24.-Ample proof
that travel by air has now reached
the same luxurious standards as
travel by land was given in the
seventh annual aero salon held
here.
No longer need prospective al"
travellers hesitate for lack of con-
venience, comfort and, experts say,
also safety. Danger from fire ami
engine trouble has been reduced TO
a minimum by the latest inventions
in aviation. Promoters of conti-
mental air transportation guarantee
smoother travel through the air
at a speed of 1926 miles an hou,
than is possible to experience on
even the slowest of trains.
The airplane will play a moss
important part in the Red Crosc
work of future wars. Air operat-
ing rooms with full equipment
and air ambulances for less urgent
cases are q practical reality. Sew
eral hundred machines were shown
to prove this, one a complete aero
hospital, accommodating two pa
tients on stretchers, a doctor and
an assistant with complete oper-
ating necessities, including a table.
The biggest stabilizing appliances
permit the surgeon to operate
while the machine goes through
space at 100 miles an hour. There
were several air ambulances with
space for two or four wounded
soldiers.

Group Appear, DisCour-

An Early Settlement,

BLOCKING COMPROMISE
British Accent American
PROPOSAL France Refers
It to Paris Japan Stands
for 5-5-3 Ratio,
tBy The Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. "a (by the AS
sociated Press) An American ef-
fort to compromise the submarine
controversy failed of immediate
success today before the arms con-
ference naval committee when
Japan refused to depart from the
"5-53' ratio proportion of submer-
sibles for her fleet and French ac-
tion was deferred pending advices
from Paris.
When the committee adjourned
after four hours debate to meet
again next Tuesday, some members
of the American group appeared
discouraged over the prospect of
an early agreement on submarines,
although negotiations are to con-
tinue.
Compromise Plan.
The American compromise plan.
presented after the British effort
for complete suppression Of sub
marines had been shelved propos-
ed 60.000-ton limitations for Great
Britain and the United States in
stead of the original American fig
ure of 10000 tons each. and vir-
tually status quo for the other
three, powers.
The British delegation, failing to
obtain favorable action on sup
preston of submarines, accepted
the new American reduction
scheme. The French group indi-
Gated that it would be unaccept-
able. but deferred giving an opin-
ion pending Paris advices. Japan
flatly held out for the full $4,000
tons in submarines. the original
American "5-5-S" ratio plan.
Italy Accepts.
Italy accepted the compromise
plan, conditioned on q submarine
tonnage parity with France, the
!. Italian delegates contending that
81,5S0 tons would be the correct
limitation for both France and
Italy.
The French delegation indicated
that 1t would not oppose parity
with Italy in submarine as we'll as
capital ships bu. withheld approval
OF any tonnage limitation of less
than the 90,000-ton figure suggest
ed by French experts. Under a
status quo, France would have
about $4,000 tons in submersibles.
The American group made it
plain that while it had great SYM
pathy for the British viewpoint In
opposing all submarine warfare, It
was inclined to agree with the
American advisory committee that
submarines were legitimate
weapon. 1t was said the matter
had been discussed with President
Harding and that the willingness
of the American government to
proceed at some future date to-
ward a national discussion of sub
marine warfare on wider basis
than the present conference had
indicated. 1t was also indicated
that the american delegation
would bring into the conference
later q resolution condemning In
formal fashion for the five powers
