DEDHAM, Mass, Dec. 24.-Nicolai
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, con-
victed of the murder of a paymaster
and his guard at South Braintree in
september, 1920, lost the first skir-
mish 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 of law as to insult
ficiency of the evidence, the court
ruled, did not warrant a re-trial.
Certain questions raised on points
of law as to insufficiency of the evi-
dence, thee ourt ruled, did not war
rant a re-trial.
Case May Go Higher
The case has attralted wide atten-
tion and has bene the cause of radical
demonstrations in Europe, South
America and Mexico. Counsel for the
convicted men were granted permis-
sion to file exceptions of the decision
and signified that they were ready to
take the case to the supreme court.
The decision ca emat the close of ar
guments on supplementary motion
for new trial based on alleged i'm
proprieties in the jury room. This
motion was taken under advisement
by the court and remained to be dis
posed of.
Sacco and VanZetti were conducted
from the Jail to the court house under
heavy guard and both state and city
police were stationed about the build
ing. Only few persons listened TO
the proceedings in the court room.
In his findings, on the original mo-
tion for new trial, Judge Thayer re-
viewed at length the evidence and the
alleged circumstances surrounding the
fatal shooting of Frederick A. Parmen-
ter, the paymaster, and Allesandro
Berradelli, 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 justi-
fled in setting aside their verdict.
No Error Is Found
This | cannot find for two rea-
sons" he said. First, because there
were volumes of testimony introduced
by both sides upon every important
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 mo-
tions for new trials that even tended
in the least degree to prove that the
jury abused their trust"

DEADLOCK IS CERTAIN
Americans Discouraged When

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24.-(By the
Associated Press)-The American ef-
fort to compromise the submarine
controversy failed of immediate sue
cess today before the arms confer
ence naval committee when Japan re-
fused to depart from the $3.50" ratio
proportion of submersibles for her
fleet and French action was deferred
pending advices from Paris.
When the committee adjourned af-

and virtually status quo for the other
three powers.
French Are Opposed
The British delegation. failing TO
obtain favorable action on suppress
sion of submarines, accepted the new
American reduction scheme. The
French group indicated that it would
be unacceptable. but deferred giving
an opinion pending Paris advices-
Japan flatly held out for the full 54.-
900 tons in submarines. the original
American "5-5-3" ratio plan.
Italy accepted the compromise plan

parity with France. the Italian dele
gates eonte1ding that 31.5O0 tons
would be the correct Limitation for
both France and Italy.
The French delegation indicated
that ii would not oppose parity with
Italy in submarines as well as capital
ships, but withheld approval of any
tonnage limitation of less than the
80 900 ton figure suggested by French
experts. Under a status quo. France
would have about $4,000 tons in sub
mersibles.
The American group made il plain
that while it had great sympathy for
the British viewpoint in opposing all
submarine warfare, il was inclined
TO agree with the American advisory
committee that submarines are a legi-
innate weapon. II was said the mat

FATHER AND SON
KILLED AS AUTO
IS HIT BY TRAIN
George Brown and Boy Die as
Result of Accident Near
Baskerville Yesterday

George Brown and son, Robert, age
about ten years, met death yesterday
morning about 10 o'clock when the
automobile in which they were driv-
ing was struck by train No. z of the
Z. p. & S. w. as it was backing
out from Bisbee toward Warren at
the crossing near the Standard Oil
plant at Bakerville.
Brown and son were returning to
their home in Cochise from a trip
to the Lowell market. Brown was
driving rather rapidly and evidently
did not see the train backing down.
The car had just about reached the
center of the track when the engine
hit it, The train was travelling about
25 miles an hour. Brown and n:s SON
were thrown out of the auto clear of
the track and sustained injuries from
which they both died within about an
hour after the accident. They were
both picked up in an unconscious con-
dition and were taken to the c. and A.
hospital, a short distance from the
scene of the accident. Both bodies
were badly bruised.
Accident Unexplained
From the statement of number of
witnesses who saw the accident
Brown evidently did not hear the
train coming or hear the whistle of
the engine. The shrek Oh cue en-
gine whistle caused a number of per-
sons to look in that direction just
as the auto was struck.
Brown, just a moment before the
accident, passed a man named Dick
Morris to whom Brown waved his
hand. 1t Is thought by some that
Brown turned to look at Morris and
did not see the train.
According to other parties another
auto had driven up to the crossing
and had stopped to let the train go
by and that Brown drove around this
car and onto the track.

Brown had been a resident of the
district for number of years and

BEDS1EADs THAT SAVE SPACE
Three Story Sleeping Places Are che
Latest idea to Be Placed
on the Market.

Two-story beds, that is to say, bed
steads containing two beds placed one
above the other. have been in use for
years, but something rather novel In
this line is the three-story bed, con-
tanning three beds, one above another,
which was placed upon the market not
so long ago.
These bedsteads, which are made
entirely Of iron, are so constructed
that they can be knocked down to !oc-
cupy comparatively small space for
convenience in handling in shipment
and transportation, the three-story
bed separating into five parts, the head
and foot sections and the three beds,
each bed section having wire mat
tress permanently attached to the side
and end pieces.
At the ends of each mattress frame
are pins that fit into slots placed at
suitable heights up the head and foot
pieces. To set up two or three-story
bed one simply stands up the head and
foot pieces and drops the pins on the
mattress frames into the slots and
there Is the bedstead with its wire
springs in each tier ready to receive
the mattresses.
Bedsteads Of this sort are intended
for camps, apartments, steamers or
wherever the floor space Is limited.
