PARIS, Nov. 7.-SIx thousand
workers, with a group of Com
munists at their head, storned
the office of the American en-
bassy last night and demanded
the release Of Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti, the two
ltalian-American workers to
whom the Massachusetts SUI
preme court has denied an ap-
peal from the judgment which,
if carried out, is to send them
to the electric chair on a
framed-up murder charge.
Fight Back PoIlos.
The workers resisted the attacks of
two hundred police agents, sent by the
perfect to scatter their gathering. Re.
serves were called out, but it was i'm.
possible to stop the manifestants,
whose fury was at fever heat.
The Communists met at the work

That the workers Of Paris chose
Nov. Z, the day of the victorious pro

ting time to raise the voice Of protest
against sentence which amounts to
virtual murder of laboring men by
capitalist courts shows that far from
having forgotten Sacco and Vanzetti,
the proletariat Of France considers the
case as a matter of International i'm.
portance for class conscious workers.

ANNISTON, Ala, Nov. 6.-(Spe- cial. .)-An airplane, making flights for hire, is not common carrier, Judge w. I. Gfubb, in federal district court, ruled here this afternoon, following hearing evidence in the case of John w. Brown, as executor of. the estate of Hugh D. Brown vs. the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance company. Brown sought to recover double indemnity from the company for a $7,500 policy held by Hugh Brown, who was accidentally killed when an airplane fell at Camp Walton, Fla, in August, 1923.
 A clause in the policy called for double indemnity in case, the insured person lost his life in an accident while on a common carrier. Notice of an appeal was filed by attorneys for Brown
 This decision is thought to be the first to be rendered in a suit brought for damages sustained in an airplane accident, on the grounds that the air '"Taxi'' was a common carrier, as reg ular scheduled trips were said to have been taken for a stipulated sum of money.

.SPALDDNG SCORES
 DECIDED SUCCESS
Popular Violinist Opens Winter Music Club
 Concert Season

The artist course of the Music Study club opened for this season most aus piciously, with the presentation of AL bert Spalding, violinist, in concert at Phillips auditorium, last night. A large and representative audience filled the auditorium, and expressed appreciation of the distinguished violinist in hearty and enthusiastic applause.
 Mir. Spalding rendered beautifully selected program that made exacting de- mands upon both the artists technical ability and interpretatiye resources, and he met them with the poise, assurance, and fine tine that so great a master of his instrument can command. His pro- gram included some entirely new and interesting numbers which Mir. Spalding is introducing to American audiences this season. Notable among these was the latest work of Castelnuovo-Tedesc entitled "Nocturna Adriatica," which this Italian composer wrote especially for Albert Spalding. It proved to be a rarely beautiful composition, suggest ing that romantic country whence came its inspiration, and revealing an ex- quisite melody in outline.
 Other new numbers were the Veracini Sonata, as edited by o. Respighi-a great work; "Nocturne, by Llli Boul- anger, mad a Valse Caprice, Chabrier- Loeffler.
 The Berceuse, composed by himself, won great applause. By request he play ed his Alabama"
 After the Paganini number which closed his program, the yiolinist was re- called again and again, finally playing Caprice Espanole, by Chaminade,
 The big number on his program was the Sonata in A Major by Cesar Franck, and of this he gave wonderful rendi- tion.
 MT. Spalding is favorite in Bir- mingham, where he has many personal friends, who were delighted to recog- nize in his wonderful playing a, marked growth in his art. F Andre. Benoist played the accom-. paninents in his usual masterful way and was the recipient of special ap- plause. His splendid support aided ma terially in making the performance one of great beauty.
