MEMORIAL To
PRE- ESIDENT IS
is DEDICATED
In Black Hills Coolidge
Officiates at Impressive
Ceremonies.
HEART OF U. S.
Giant Monument Is to Be
Carved in Mighty Granite
Mountain.

KEYSTONE, S. D., Aug. 10, (R-
A mighty granite mountain on which
a memorial to Washington, Jeffer-
son, Lincoln and Roosevelt is to be
inscribed, was dedicated by President
Coolidge in the heart of the Black
Hills today with an address in which
he declared that the fundamental
principles which the four presidents
represented have been wrought into
the very being of our country"
If the ideals these men stood for
are maintained, he said, it will be
because future generations continue
to study the lives and times OF the
great men who have been leaders
in our history and continue to sup
port the principles which those men
represented"
Pushing into the deep pine forests
to honor the American presidents TO
whom the people of South Dakota
have begun to rear this gigantic
memorial, Mr.. Coolidge called upon
the country to support this project
as a national shrine.
We cannot hold our admiration Tor
the historic figures which we shall
see here" the president declared
without growing stronger in our
determination to perpetuate the in
stitutions which their lives revealed
and established"
The memorial, work on which was
begun today by Gutzon Borglum, the
sculptor, is intended to represent the
growth of the American republic as
pictured in the lives OF four OF us
best loved presidents.
AS Mr.. Coolidge declared, 1T seem
ed fitting that the memorial should
be erected in the wilderness OF this
new state which is the heart OF the
American continent.
'sOn the side of mountain, the
president said, in territory which
probably no white man had ever be-
held in the days Of Washington IN
territory which was acquired by the
action of jefferson, which remained
unbroken wilderness beyond the days
Lincoln, which was especially be-
loved by Roosevelt the people OF the
future will see history and art COM
bined to portray the spirit of patriot
ism. They will know that the figures
of these presidents has been placec
here because by following the truth
they built for eternity. The funda-
mental principles. which they rep
resented have been wrought into the
very being of our country. They are
steadfast as these ancient hills"
The president devoted a conSld-
cradle portion of his address, which
was the first formal utterance since
coming into the Black Hills to com
plimenting the people of South Da-
kota for their initiative in beginning
the memorial.

SAN DIEGO, Aug 10, R-While
the navy mourns for two more of
it's fliers who have paid the supreme
sacrifice as pioneers of the air, steps
are being taken to have a board of
inquiry investigate the tragedy which
today cost the lives of Lieutenants
George D. Covel and Richard S.

Word from the commander in-chief
of the battle fleet, ordering an in

pected momentarily. Coven and Veg
gener were on authorized leave from
the navy with permission to make the
flight. This, officers say, makes their
deaths in the line of duty.
Funeral services for the two fliers
will be held at the naval air sta

From State House at
1880 O'clock p. M.

BOSTON, Aug. 10 R--A respite to
and including Monday, August %, for
| Nicola Sacco, Bartolomeo Vanzetti
and Celesttino Madeiros, was granted
by Governor Alvan T. Fuller and the
executive council tonight. The first
announcement that this action had
been taken was made at 11:24 p. M,
by Warden William Hendry OF the
state prison, where preparations had
been completed for the execution OF the
three men shortly after midnight.
| A formal statement announcing the
respite was given out by Governor
Fuller at midnight. It said that the
governor had recommended the 12-day
respite and that the council had
unanimously approved it.
At the same time statements by JUS
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes OF the
United States supreme court, Judge
George w. Anderson of the United
States circuit court and Attorney Cen
eral Arthur K, Reading were issued
| from the governors office.
| The governors statement follows:
'"The courts of the commonwealth
are actively engaged in the work Of
considering and deciding the various
motions and petitions filed by the
counsel in these cases. The courts
themselves have no power to grant
respite.
"To afford the courts an opportunity
| to complete the consideration of the
| proceedings now pending and render
| their decision thereon, have recon-
mended to the executive council that
the sentence of Sacco, Vanzetti and
Madeiros be respited for IL days, or
until midnight on Monday, August ~,
1927.
"The council has unanimously adopt
ed this recommendation, Prior to its
adoption it was recommended by the
attorney general"
The statements of justices Holmes
and Anderson were in explanation Of
their denial to issue writs of habeas
corpus.
The prisoners received the news with
no show of emotion, Warden Hendry
reported a few minutes later. The
only one of the three to comment was
Vanzetti, who remarked that he was
'.pleaSed"
Sacco and Madeiros said they had no
remarks to make.
Early tomorrow the three will be re-

Captain Beaupre of the state police
left the state house at 11:30 for the
state prison with the Official reSpiteS
for the three.
The news of the respite spread rap
idly along the police lines outside the
jail and less than half an hour after
the warden's announcement demobili-
zation of the heavy armed force
around the institution was begun.
The mounted state constabulary gall
loped off first, the machine gun and
bayonet squads left and announcement
was made by Police Superintendent
Crowley that the guarding force would

RELIEF BILL.
FORCREDTTORS
BLOCKS CALL
Hunt Makes Payment of
Creditors Condition Pre-
cedent to Call.
RECESS Is TAKEN
Adjournment Of Legislature
in Morning Was Surprise
to Members.

PHOENIX, Aug. 10 (P-Governor
Hunt will include in his proclamation
for the fourth special session more
than 20 subjects in addition to high
way legislation, according to reports
circulated in legislative circles today.
Majority and administrative members
of the legislature considered the re-
ports as authoritative.
The call for the special session which
was expected today was held up when
the two houses of the legislature re-
cesSed until tomorrow morning with
out acting upon the highway creditors
bill which the governor has insisted
must be passed before he will issue a
call for new session
According to reports, the highway
legislation is placed by Governor Hunt
as the first of the subjects to be taken
up at the fourth special session. Fur
ther steps towards the revision of the
civil and penal codes is understood to
be the second subject, legislation con-
corning an oil code is said to be the
third subject.
Among the other matters under
stood to be included in the proclama-
ton is the revision of the states water
laws which is desired by the Arizona
Colorado river commission, several
changes in the school laws and fur
ther appropriations for the state medi-
cal board.
The adjournment this morning was
somewhat of a surprise as members OF
nearly all factions had expected the
highway creditors bill to be ready for
introduction and the compromise high
way bill drafted SO that Governor
Hunt could issue his call. The excuse
held by the members was that more
time for the consideration of the per-
sonnel of the highway commission was
necessary.
When the motion to recess came uI
for vote in the house, many noes
were shouted by members who be-
lieved recess until the afternoon
might have been sufficient. However
there was no roll call on the motion
The senate recessed without any Other
matter being taken up.
Members of the senate said tonight
that the list of names from which
Governor Hunt would select his com.
missioners had been completed severa
days ago and are now in the hands O.
the executive.

BOB HAIRED ANARCHISTIC GIRL
STARTS CHICAGO DEMONSTRATION


'My father was an anarchist.
Follow me-"
With a roar the crowd followed
her. More venturesome members
began singing the "InternatiOnalc,"
marching song of radicals the
world over.
"On comrades. Mob the police.
Strike. Strike. Sacco and Van
zetti must not die" shouted the
girl.
But the demonstration was
shOrt-Iived. Police squads rushed
down; blue coats leaped among the
crowd and tear bombs were
thrown into the now panic-stricken
ranks of the marchers. They dis
persed, leaving those nearest the
front in the hands of the officers.
The girl exhOrter, under arrest,
was unrepentent.
Later in the day two incipient
parades were broken up almost at
their origin. The three skirmishes
represented a casualty list" of
SO men and five women under ar
rest.

hours and developed from SaccO-

The assembly terminated peaceably
but as the crowd poured from the
auditorium a few leaders called
half -heartedIy for a parade. While
the crowd nliIIed around without
unity of intent, a 16 year old girl,
Aurora D'AngelO, climbed on a
truck and began haranguing it.
"Pm an anarchist" she cried,

hair contrasting grOtesqueIy with
the harsh attire of many Of her

Every law enforcement agency in

which ended in q riot, the serious
injury of a policeman and the
arrest of two strikers on charges
of assault.
The trouble started when the
parade, on it's way TO convention
hall for mass meeting, passed
the Eastman Kodak Company's
plant, employees of the plant hurled
small missiles on the heads of the
parading strikers, one of whom
moved to throw a club toward the
