BRITISH EXECUTE 2
FOR KILLING STACK
Egyptian Lawyer Battles With
Guards on Scaffold.

Cairo. Egypt,-Execution of seven
men convicted of the murder of Sir
Lee Stack, governor general OF the
Sudan, took place here. They were
hanged at intervals of 45 minutes.
The death sentence imposed upon
Abdul Fattah Enayat was commuted
to life Imprisonment.
Shafik Mansour, prominent lawyer
and member of the Egyptian chamber
of deputies, whose role, as revealed
at the trial, consisted in remaining
in the background and instigating and
remunerating the actual murderers,
did not bear up with the fatalistic
fortitude of his comrades, however
After the guards had pinioned his
arms to lead him from his cell, Shalk
renewed his wild struggles and actual
ly burst his bonds in an effort to free
himself.
Hopes that Mahmoud Ismael, be-
lieved to have been the organizer of
several big political crimes, might
break the silence which he maintained
throughout the trial proved illusory.
Ismael protested his innocence to the
end and met his death with smile,
hurting jests at the warders as they
led the men to the Scaffold.

UNIFORM LAWS
NATIONAL NEED
N. w. MacChesney Warns
Against EnroGchment on
States Rights.

Detroit, Mich.-Col. Nathan William
MacChesney of Chicago, warned a
convention Of national commissioners
On uniform state laws, holding their
convention here, that unless the vari-
Gus states voluntarily make their own
laws uniform along progressive lines
there will be constantly increasing
and determined effort to have con-
gress enact general laws on subjects
of the country's general concern, thus
periling the nations fundamental de-
mocracy.
Colonel MacChesney, who is presi-
dent of the national conference of
commissioners, warned against the
growing encrOachment of the federal
government on states rights and
quoted President Coolidge to the effect
that this encroachment is due to the
fact that the states have not dis
charged their full duties. Mr. Mac
Chesney declared that unless the
states meet their responsibilities
through uniform state laws they must
lose still further their prestige and
power.
Discussing the need for philosophy
OF law, Mr.. MacChesney said: with
age, growth of population and ac-
emulation of wealth, a general gov
eminent is sure to acquire immense
power. and If with this is united the
daily administration of affairs close TO
the people, the people themselves be-
come habitually accustomed to gov
eminent interference, and consequent
ly not only in the matter of law to
be enforced but in opinions on all
subjects accept from the central power
the line of conduct to be followed,
desired acts to be achieved, and the
methods by which they are to be ac-
compished."
