Lancey street. causing damage esti-
mated at about $4,000.

The grammar school building Is
located just back of the business
section and was 2 1-2 story brick
building and the most modern school
structure in the town.
The building was built some years

Law Making Craze
Scored by Chief
Justice of Illinois

Boston Oct o1-The American
nation is plunged into an abyss OF
communism. Floyd Eugene Thomp-
son, chief justice OF the supreme
court Of Illinois said tonight IN an
address before the Associated IN
dustries of Massachusetts in which
he vigorously denounced govern
mental paternalism'.
THE brave heart of American
business is being broken by govern
ment intermeddling and the individ-
ual citizen is constantly reminded
of the ever-ready iailer," he said.
Government Job holders are step
ping on each others heels and new
Jobs are being created daily
Attacking what he termed the
present law making craze, he
said:
The surest remedy is to enforce
strictly all laws that are passed and
an outraged people will Immediately
rise up in righteous rebellion and
bring about prompt repeal of eX-
listing paternalistic legislation and
make legislative bodies more res
ponsive to the true spirit of Amerl-
can government.
We Americans today awaken
from a peaceful sleep to find IN
the place of the land of liberty, a
region of regulation Our federal
government is now in the death
throes of over-indulgenCe and until
it regains the strength of its youth
we should not add to its agony by
feeding it more local problems. "
THE whole system of federal aid,
as we know it. is not only fundamen-
tally unsound but is morally and le-
gally wrong"
c. l.. Bardo. general manager OF
the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, told the associ-
alton today that he expected that
the operations of his road in 1874
would result in surplus after fixed
charges. The deficit for 1913, he
said. would be substantially be-
low that of 1922. He expressed the
opinion that the question of railroad
consolidation as authorized by the
transportation act would, when
rightly understood by the people,
be settled upon a Just basis

ing that the discovery of hitherto I'M
known witnesses to the shaving in
1921 for which Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted
or murder, constituted important new
evidence. counsel for the defence late
To-Day opened argument in the matter
OF an af1idavlt submitted by Roy c.
Gould. According to the statement,

April Is, 1921, at South Braintree, in
Whlch n paymaSter and guard were
killed, one of the bullets passing
through a lapel of his coat. Gould

trial and counsel for the defence con-
tended that it was therefore essential

and Nanzetu be granted a new trial.
Fred II. Moore. attorney for the
defense. also read an affidavit from
Erasmus c. Whitney who testified
at the trial in 1921 under the name
of Carlos Goodridge. to the effect that
he might have been mistaken in
identifying Sacco at the trial When
he obtained the Whitney affidavit
Moore was accompanied by a deputy
sheriff who placed the witness under
arrest under an old indictment
against him in New York state. an
affidavit from Whitney submitted by
the prosecution stated.
The affidavit presented by the pro-
secution described Whitney's arrest
allegedly without a warrant and his
detention in a Maine Jail over night.
Subsequently he was released when
New York authorities sent word that
they would not prosecute. Moore ad-
mitted in reply to questions today
that he had furnished the informal
ton regarding Whitney's where
abouts but declared that he planned
to use the information concerning
the old indictment merely to attack
the creditability of the witness.
Statements obtained by Moore
from Louis Pelser and Mrs. lola

mony in the trial and attacked by
the commonwealth which submitted

pudiating their assertions on the
