Circus Nuptials Halted at the
 Psychological Moment

New York, March 30.-Cupid--at- tired in ballet skirt and a clowns hat-slid down the neck of the tallest giraffe, into the Congress of Strange People" (don't dare call them freaks) at the Garden yesterday. In place of the proverbial bow and darts Daniel J. Cupid carried a paper hoop. All was set for 3 budding romance, but the two victims refused to do their stunt-they wouldn't go through the hoop and Cupid slipped dejectedly out to Madison avenue and headed for The Bronx.
 It was only matter of inches, but it meant a deep chasm between Ma jor Mite and Miss Wee Wee. She is three feet tall, while Major Mite couldn't reach two feet ten without standing on his toes. To him the or dinary size cigarette serves as full grown after dinner cigar and two neckties make him an ample suit of clothes.
 Nevertheless his ambitions were man sized and he looked with amor ous glances at Wee Wee. The crash of the romance came yesterday when Wee Wee gave out the announcement that the major was entirely too small" This announcement was sped on its way to the press from the typewriter of Martha Morris who runs it by her toes. Dexter Fellowes, the press agent, rushed the copy.

Moscow, March 30 (By the Asso- ciated Press)-Thc newspaper Pravda says today that the central executive committee Complying only with the revolutionary conscience and the rev. olutionary welfare" has commuted the sentence of Archbishop Zepliak.
 The journal adds that the same standard could not be applied to Monsignor Butchkavitch because he was the agent of the Polish govern ment and carried on its activity, not because of religious fanaticism as did Archbishop Zepliak but in the inter- ests of foreign state."

 "Theso actions are very heavy crimes in the revolutionary republic which as before Is surrounded by nu- merous enemies. There cannot or could not be another penalty except that which was fixed for Zcpliak by the court.
 The Case of Zepliak
 However, taking into consideration that zepliak is the representative of such religion. which at the time of the late Czarist government and at the time of the bourgeoise republic was suppressed, application to him of a penalty very well earned might be in- terpreted by certain backward ele- 'ment of the Catholic citizens of Russia whose religious feelings he tried to exploit and direct, as directed against the priests and their religion.
 We, therefore. as an exception form from the penalty policy of the republic have decided to change the sentence fixed by the court to ten years Imprisonment in strict isola- tion.
 No Rcprieve For Others
 'As regards Citizen Butchkavitch who in criminal activity on the ground of religion combined very clear counter revolutionary action with an enemy bourgeoisie state, and who used hic position as a priest to carry oH. [ direct and active state treason the request for a reprieve is left with out consequences"
 A Moscow dispatch last night re- porting that the central executive committee was soon to decide wheth- CT the sentences should be mitigated, said the general impression was that some degree of clemency would be granted. A communist leader was quoted as saying:
