RAPS ATTEMPTS TO LIMIT POWERS
SUPREME COURT ON LEGISLATION

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, Aug. 90.
Attempts to limit the power of the
United States supreme court i'll
passing ON the oonsritutionality of
legislation is can attack en- our
theory of government John w.
Davis, New York, declared in the
principal address opening the con
vention of the American Bar asso-
citation.
Davis urged a continuation of
five to four decisions and pleaded
for American participation in the
world court. .
Two thousand members of the
American Bar, including Chief JUS
flee Taft of the supreme court, and
Charles Evans Hughes, secretary of
state, attended the opening session.
Davis, formerly ambassador to
Great Britain, declared:
"In attempting to destroy or
limit the powers of the supreme
court to adiudicate upon the con
stitutionality of legislation, we
would be giving up at one stroke,
not merely our belief in our separ-
alton of judicial and legislative
powers, but our reliance uopn the
constitution as the supreme law of
the land.
Raps Observing Opinions
He said much of the current dis
content is caused perhaps by the
publication of dissenting opinions,
which serve to ''f fan the flames of
public distress. -
Referring to American participa-
tion in the world court, Davis said
there is treason to believe this step
is not long to be deferred -
He expressed belief that the issue
will not be decided by partisan con
sideration.
Davis also urged:
Codification of federal statutes.

convening of congress Immediately

Slayer
of Woman Also
Dead or Dying
Il, United Press Leased Wire

II, United Press Leased Wire
DENVER, Colo, Aug. ga
third person may lie dead or dying
in the appalling tragedy that ended
in the Staying of Mrs. Lillian Me-
Clone and her chum, Miss Emma
Nascovie Monday afternoon, police
believe.
Discovery of a blood soaked rag
on a chair in the apartment and the
prevalence of blood splotches over
the entire McGlone apartment, lead
to the belief that the asSailant him
self was wounded and after com
mitting his atrocious crime pro-
cured rag and tried to stop the
flow of blood.
This belief is strengthened by the
fact the killing was done with Mrs.
McGlones automatic pistol. She is
thought to have succeeded in
wouhding, perhaps fatally, her as
sailant before he wrested the gun
from her. On this theory Denver is
being combed today for Joe Briend-
isse, only suspect. Little Italy,
where the suspected murdered may
be in hiding will be searched with
the aid of many of those who know
its inmost secrets in the hope that
either the slayer or his body may
be discovered.
Both women lay face downward
on the floor of Mrs. McGlone 8
bedroom when found. Miss Vas
covie $ head was pierced by one
bullet, Mrs. McGlone s by two, and
powder burns on her face showed
that one had been fired from a
distance of only few inches.
Blood, which could hardly have
come from their own wounds, it was
believed, smeared the dresses of
both.
At least five shots were fired in
the death chamber. Only one empty
shell was found on the floor, others
being hidden beneath the mattress
on the bed. The murderer must
have picked up the other empty
shells, and this may account for
the blotches of blood found all
through the apartment.
Roy McGlone reported that on
three former occasions his wife had
been shot at, and each time he had
wished to report it to the police
but she had dissuaded him.
