HAVE one CHANCE
Mass. Supreme Court Will Hear
Arguments

Boston, Aug. 81. Ps-A bill Of ex-
ception to be heard by the full
bench of the Massachusetts, supreme
court was allowed by Judge Bradley
today in the last minute fight Of
counsel to save the lives of the
three "carbarn bandits" so called.
Attorneys for the trio, John j. Dev-
oreauy. John ]. Mclaughlin and Ed
ward j. Hen,eir. under sentence of
death for murder, are seeking to
compel the executive council to hear
a plea for combination of the SEN
tences of life imprisonment.
After Governor Fuller had refused
10 grant Communication, counsel went
after Judge Bradley of the Supreme
court to obtain a writ of mandamus
TO compel the governor to submit
10 the executive council the petition
for clemency. This Judge Bradley
refused but today allowed exceptions
which will be considered by the su-
prere court. The question involved
is the right of the governor to act

has concurrent jurisdiction with the

CATHOLIC SPORTS
congress DELAYED
Reports Fix Recent Religious
Rioting as Cause

Rome, Aug. 81. P-The Italian
government expresses surprise
through the semi official Stefani
news agency over an announcement
by the vatican that Pope Plus has
called off the meeting of the inter
national congress of Catholic sport
associations which was to have been
held in Rome during the present
week.
The vatican gave as its reason
for ordering the various Catholic
Eymnastic clubs not to come to
Rome the faci that trouble recently
occurred in the town of Macareta
between Catholic youths and Fas-
cists. Fascists endeavored to break
up a parade of the Catholics. in
which number Of prelates partici-
pated and during which number
of Catholic youths were beaten with
canes.
The statement of the Italian gov
eminent asserts that the incident re-
ferred TO by the ecclesiastical au-
thorities was without any impor-
lance. It says that during past
weeks there have taken place in
various parts of Italy public re-
ligious ceremonies and important
Catholic manifestations which We're
participated in by large numbers of
persons and that these demonstra-
tons always were held in perfect
liberty and tranquility.
