MAKING DESPERATE
 FIGHT FOR LIVES Lawyers for Carbarn MurdererS
 Lose Two Petitions EXCEPTION IS ALLOWED
This Permits Review By Full Bench of Supreme Court-Massachusetts Governor to Be Asked to Grant Stay.

Boston, Aug. II P)-Two peti- tions to save the three Walthan carbarn murderers from the electric chair were denied by Judge Brad ley of the supreme court this morn ing.
 One petition sought a writ ot mandamus to compel Governor Full Ter and his council to grant a re- spite to the men condemned to die by electrocution this week until the sanity of John J. Devereaux should be fully established. habeas corpus against Warden Hendry seeking their liberation on the same plea of insanity.
 Judge Bradley, however, allowed counsel for the men an exception to take the petition for the writ of mandamus to the full branch of the state supreme court.
 Have Another Chance
 The three men still have another chance for respite because Judge Fosdick has agreed to hear motions for a new trial in Middlesex su- perior court tomorrow.
 Counsel for the three condemned men in arguing for the petitions declared that he had evidence to offer that Devereaux was now in sane and that the sentence should be stayed pending further examina- tion of his mentality. The attorney said he had not yet completed gathering evidence but was pre- pared to show if stay of sentence was granted that Devereaux was mentally irresponsible.
 District Attorney Arthur K. Reading of Middlesex county, who prosecuted the case against the three convicted slayers and was delegated to represent the attorney generals department at the hearing, opposed the petitions. He argued that the commonwealth contended .Devereaux was sane and had the testimony of alienists to that effect.
 May Get 20 Days More
 Counsel for the convicted men has 20 days in which to file excep- tionS to the courts ruling. While the fact that the exceptions were pending would not act automati- cally as 8 stay of sentence, it is re- ported that it was doubtful that the execution would be carried out be- for the expiration of that time.
 When the bandits attorney left the court room it was announced that he would go to the state house for a conference with Gov. Fuller, with whom it was believed final de- cision as to the granting of stay would rest. Lawyers were uncer- tain as to the exact effect the grant ing of the exception would have. The attorney, however. did not go to the state house but returned to his office.
 At the governors office, where the lawyers coming was awaited, 1t was indicated that nothing would be done from that end until after the hearing tomorrow for a motion for @ new trial.
 Atty. Francis Juggins, counsel for the three prisoners, said after the hearing that while he had 20 days in which to file exceptions he would to prepare and file them today. The exceptions, he said, would be based on the fact that the petition for a writ of mandamus against the governor and council | was denied.
 He said his contention would 1 hinge on the interpretation of chapter 279, section AS of the gen. eral laws which states: If it ap- pears to the satisfaction os the

To Campaign With All Her Heart '-In- sists Moody N e CT Accepted Her Offer To Resign If Defeat ed In Primary
Woman Executive Makes klan Her Big Issue and Says Rival Has Forfeit ed His Right to Place on Ticket.

Austin. Texas, Aug. II Rl-Gov. ernor Miriam A. Ferguson today declared she was in the race for governor of Texas with all her heart" In 2.OO0 word statement she declared that Attorney General Dan Moody, her chief opponent, never had accepted her offer to re. sign.
 Hot Fight Ahead
 The governors statement, which has been awaited since the demos cratic state executive committee last Monday certified her name with that of Moody's for the pri- mary run-off, presages a heated two weeks campaign for the demo- cratic nomination, which in Texas means election.
 No official statement as to her plans had been made by Gov. Fer guson since her announcement two days after the July "A primary in which she said she would not be candidate in the run-off.
 Mrs Ferguson makes the Ku Klux Klan her big issue, declaring that the klan is celebrating Moody's large vote in the first primary as "a klan victory"
 "Moody's vote in the first pri- mary was about 409,000. which was 1,77O short of a majority. The Texas law requires run-off pri- mary for those offices in which no candidate received a majority.
 Mrs. Ferguson declares that her duty to her state lis greater than any personal preference for private life at this time.''
 Assails Moody
 She declared Moody had forfeited his right to place on the run-off and general election tickets because of his alleged acceptance of contriou- tlons from Representative Lee Sat- terwhite and R. l.. Bobbitt, candi- dates for the legislature. The pri- mary law prohibits campaign con- tributions from one candidate to an- other candidate.
 Referring to her challenge to Moody U resign. she said: Not only did he not accept my proposition. bat he left himself in position where he would not be boun5 in case I should have led him by 25,000 votes in the primary. Here are his very words: I accept the challenge issued by Jim in his wife's name.' In many other statements in the newspapers he called my pro position 'Jim's bluff and not to this good hour has he ever said he accepted my proposition.
 T submit to all fair-m'nded peo> pie that the acceptance of chal. ienge by 'Jim' is not the acceptance of a challenge issued by Miriam
 ''If the vote had been in my favor Mr. Moody had carefully worded his reply so thot he would not have been bound an5 he would have tmmedi- ately said that he was only bluffing with him."
 The challenge to resign which Mrs. Ferguson refers to was one made by her in her first campaign speech of the recent primary. She offered to resign her office if Moody led her by one vote. provided he would resign as attorney general if she led him by 25.00o votes.

ONE OPPORTUNITY

The league of Women Voters has performed a
real service in its survey of why citizens fail
to vote.
The truth is that the political parties and the
candidates have not made it worth the trouble
The vote slackers make up their minds that
politics is rotten" and, adopting philosophy of
defeatsm, try to get along best they without
politics.
One Of the great for disgust with poti
cal conditions in this city is the widespread and
thoroughly iustfable belief that the votes not
counted honestly and that through trickery and var
Gus forms of fraud, the results of elections
manipulated to suit the bosses.
1t is justifable as easily evidenced by the fact
that before the last primaries friends of candidates
appealed to the powers that be to give their friends
a fair count.
The irony of it is that they secured such prom
Use and that indignation expressed that such
insulting and indicting appeal had been made.
The further proof is to be found in the fact that
in certain precincts candidates for membership on
the local Republican committee filed with the prose
cutor affdavts from citizens showing a much larger
number OF favorable votes than had been counted in
their behalf.
Those men who announced independence Of the
local machine understand some of the difficulties of
political preference and of the why
people refuse to take part in farce.
Here is an opportunity to assist the good work
begun by this group of women who want more
general participation in politics.
strict scanning of the lists of registered voters
in this county to prevent repeating, organization
of independent citizens dedicated to honesty at the
ballot boxes guard on election day to prevent
frauds and thoroughly competent watchers to
guard the vote might pave the way to a genuine in

Fraud in election amounts to treason and should
be made so by statute. AS long it is tolerated

THE VALENTINO PICTURES

The question of whether the films made by VAL
enno should be shown after his death is being seri
ousy raised and just seriously debated.
The cry of commercialism is raised and the sug
gestion made that the showngs should end with his
own life.
1t all depends whether the film is form Of
art, to take rank with other arts, is merely the
idle amusement of idle hour.
There may be contempt and pity for the thou.
SANDS of who crowded about his casket-but
it is quite understandable.
Undoubtedly to many young woman. whose life
is ruled by her emotions rather than her reason this
real character than the youth who
will dance with her tonight park his Ford with
her along country road.
To those, he had become the expression of all
their idealism and their hungered sense of romance
Conversation being one Of the lost arts, espe-
cally in these days of cryptic slang there is little
revelation of character little interchange of thought
The most is an exchange of information, rather than
Of ideas.
So it is not beyond argument at least, that here
was character who meant something more than a
companion.
The film became the expression of hopes and
ideas and fixed desires, more real than the human
companions who tried to initiate his dress but did
not initiate his expression OF chivalry and courage
and melodramatic love.
The suggestion that there may be something
ghoulish in exhibiting his films is an indictment of
the film worthy Of any place in our modern life.
Art has always sought form of expression.
Art is the search for the ideal and for beauty
The proper aim of every producer of films and OF
every actor In the film should be the creation of
something eternal in its expression of truth and
beauty and ideals. \
The great indictment of the film is that SO few
produced that can outlast their first exhibitions
Science has put in the hands of the artist a form
of expression which is as great as paint or brush
marble.
No one suggests that the records which keep per-
manent the great voice Of Caruso should be hidden
away because that voice is stilled.
Science has preserved his art, to still thrill the
human heart as he did when in the flesh.
There is no suggestion OF ghoulish commercial
ism in the constant reproduction OF these records
and the demand continues from those who delight
in real art.
Why should not the world of hlmdom take as it's
high aim the production of such works OF beauty

MACNIDER AMUCK

One somehow expects high cabinet officials to
have certain sense Of proportion and balance.

shocking In recent speech, MacNider ad-
vanced the proposition that any man who does not
get into the American Legion and do his part Is
''just much a Stacker the man who refused to
when his country called him to arms"
Perhaps it isn't just the absurd extravaganza of
the statement that is shocking perhaps It's the
downright injustice to the four million ex-service
who are not in the legion Of which MacNder
was once the head
There's no occasion to quarrel with NacNider'

More Publicity Needed on
Earnings, Activities
of Corporations,
By NJ. Il. Tracy

Professor Ripley Of Harvard wants
more publicity by corporations with
regard to their earnings and ac-
tivities.
He is right, too. The corporation
has come to play an all-important
part in the business life OF this
country, and we can't know too
much about it.
There are 100000 corporations in
the United States right now, with
millions of stock and bond holders.
The idea of selling stocks and
bonds to the public is becoming
more popular everN day.
At present most OF the stocks and
bonds are bought on faith rather
than intelligence.
The ordinary man invests 800
here, $500 there and $1,000 some
where else, not because he has
convinced himself that the invest
ment is sound, but because the
general impression is to that effect,
or because someone in whom he
believes has told him so.
Every three months, or six
months. he gets a statement which
looks all right, but which he finds
it hard to understand.
So far as he can make out the
old boat seems TO be rocking along
about as usual and the stock ought
to pay about what it has been pay
ing.
Suddenly he finds the stock taking
a ride. either up or down, and he
doesn't know why.
II 1t is because of inside stuff"
why wasn't he let in?

he protected. or given a chance to
protect himself?

Of all these corporations needs to be
educated il the values they rep
resent are to be stabilized and main
tanned to reasonable extent.
He can not be educated by such in

Ineligible statements as are being
put out by most corporations.

What is the difference between a
university and a college?

In the United States the words
have been used interchangeably and
some institutions that are nominally
universities have standards lower
than those of others called colleges.
There is a general tendency, how.

nonprofessional instruction beyond
