SACCO-VANzETn
INQUIRY IS URGED
President Told Two italians
Were WrongfuIIy Convicted
&. of Murder.
By the Associated Press.

BY the AesOciateo Press,
NEW YORK, November Ire
quest for Federal investigation OF the
Sacoo-Vanzetti case with respect to
the part the Department Of Justice
played in obtaining conviction of the
two men was contained in letter
forwarded to President Coolidge yes
terday by Robert Morse Lovett, an
editor of the New Republic.
The letter follows:
II beg to call your attention to an
aspect of the Sacco-VanZetti case
which should receive the attention of
the National Government through its
Executive, and If necessary by con-
gressional action"
Denied New Trial.
THE denial of the application for a
new trial of these two aliens, who in
a time Of war hysteria were convicted
OF murder by methods which at least
challenge inquiry, has attracted at
tention throughout the world.
On many former occasions the
Federal Government has disclaimed
responsibility for the protection Of
foreigners in this country, by invok-
ing the Constitution, which leaves
such matters to the States. The
demonstration Of the fact that agents
OF the Department Of Justice took part
in the prosecution Of Sacco and Van
zetti, If they did not actually inst-
gate 1t, Is naturally regarded by for
elgners as disposing of this claim.
Department Files Closed.
THE refusal Of the Department OF
Justice to open its files to the defense
has confirmed the suspicion that the
two Italians were victims Of po-
utical maneuver to cover up the re-
sposs!bility Of the department under
a former Attorney General for the
death Of Salsedo, while illegally de-
tained by its officials, In these cir
cumstances the matter seems one
which may properly receive consid-
Grafton from the National Govern
ment, with view to preserving those
relations of confidence with other
peoples which can be damaked by a
failure on the part of the United
States to respect the public opinion OF
q large part Of the world"

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
FOR STATE SECRETARY
OPPOSES NEW AUTO LAW

Nv. E. Barnum, we'll known busi-
ness man of Stafford and Tucson and
republican candidate for the office
of secretary of state in opposition to
James e. Kerby, incumbent, was a
visitor in Douglas, Monday.
T Barnum has been a resident of
Arizona for more than 23 years. HV
was engaged in mining and main
tanned residence in Tucson for 10
years before entering the automo-
bile business in Stafford.
The candidate has had many years
experience IN business administration
and is declared by his supporters TO
be ideally fitted for the office which
he now seeks.
Barnum stated that he is strong
against the new automobile tax law
pioning. According to Barnum, the
proposed law would place the tax
rate on automobiles on a weight
basis and would reduce the state's s
revenue from automobile taxation.
Earnum's objection is that passage of
the proposed law would place an ad
Gitional tax burden on real and per.
sonal property, putting part Of the
automobile tax burden in many cases
upon the shoulders OF c:;:zens not
owning cars.
After a tour of Graham, Gila, Mari
copa, Pima and Cochise counties
Rarnum stated that the prospects for
his candidacy are encouraging.
