Rain FAILS TO
STOP Lawn FETE
AS MANY ATTEND

In spite of the drizzling rain which
fell during the early evening Friday
the first. night of the great lawn
Iete being given by the city firemen
was a success. Many people attended
in spite of the threatening weather
following the rain and prospects for
a great night tonight were bright.
Many of those who attended ex-
pressed great surprise at the extensive
and brilliant preparations that had
been made for the fete. The brightly
lighted lawn with its finely polished
dance floor and booths presented a
carnival scene even with the rain
dripping over it.
Everything on the lawn will be
going full blast this evening and if
the weather permits it is expected
that the whole district will turn out
to attend the event and assist the
firemen in the raising of funds for
the state firemen's convention to be
held here next spring.

WASHTNGION@
LETTERH
AN 2

| WASHINGTON-T Theoretically the
sessions of the 10th congress ought
to be one long series of taxi rides
| TO the senate chamber for vice presi-
dent Charles c. Dawes.
| It will be recalled that when the
Senate voted on the appointment OF
Charles Beecher Warren as attorney
general the failure of Dawes to arrive
in time to cast the deciding vote
resulted in a bitter defeat for the
administration.
! It's a safe bet that Dawes will
break a leg or two before he lets
, himself in for such an embarrassing
incident during the next session, fol
another such occurrence probably
would be fatal to the Dawes presi-
dental ambitions He is strong
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton, but not strong enough to stand
I,up against the ridicule and loss OF
confidence which would surely follow
ia late arrival on the job.
I Party Lines in Senate
| Although, theoretically, Dawes will
lhave to use his privilege of breaking
I tie votes in the senate almost every
day, on account of the precarious
political lineup in that body which
may result if Smith and Ware are
barred, actually he will seldom be
Ireuuired to cast deciding vote. SU
many republicans vote so often with
the democrats and SO many demo-
Gratis vote Sc often with the repub-
llicans that hardly anything is ever
| decided on strict party lines any more
The Dawes vote may be required to
help the party organize the senate
at the outset, but it will not be much
in demand thereafter.
Nevertheless, the fact that the vice
president - assuming that Senator
Shipstead plays ball with the repub-
licans-holds a theoretical balance of
power in the next senate will be
bound to enhance the Importance and
prestige of Ills position. Dawes him
self has never been slow to take
advantage of any and all opportun-
| tiles for such enhancement and he
will undoubtedly continue to build
up his political fences from his
splendid vantage point.
It does no harm to reiterate that,
with Ware and Smith out, the senate
lineup will include 46 republicans, At
democrats and Shipstead, the farmer
laborite.
Dawes Due For Razzsng
It seems reasonably certain that
Dawes will come in for considerable
criticism from the floor during the
next session. But most of it will
come from the progreSsives and the
democrats and thus have little effect
upon his chances for nomination.
The progressives furnish the prin-
cipal opposition to Dawes within the
party To them he is the rankest
cf reactionarieS. His bold one man
campaign to gag the senate and his
declarations against the direct pri-
maries are examples of Dawes policies
which enrage the party liberals. But
this bloc, despite its balance of power,
in the senate, is not powerful in the
party politics. Furthermore, it de-
tests Hoover, would not be satisfied
with Lowden and would not endorse
any of the men who have the ghost
of a chance at the regular nominal
ton.

For the past week they have oc-

on known as Cherry HILL It was
there that word was carried to them
that the Massachusetts, supreme court
had denied again. the appeals of
their counsel. The news was taken to
them by Michael Musmanno, one of
their lawyers. A few minutes later
prison officers openedWtfle doors Of
the cell and marched them back to
the death cells.
Sacco had been scrubbing his cell
during the morning, and it was i'm
maculate when Musmanno appeared
outside the bars.
You're pretty strong man, are
MT you?" the lawyer asked

piled.
Then must tell you that the
full bench has turned down the

WELL" was the reply, I'VE expect
ed it."
Sacco was eating his dinner, but
he stopped abruptly and refused to
eat more. He said he wished to write
farewell letter to his son, who Wis
tied him yesterday.
Vanzetti took the news less stole
ally, his lawyer said The older man
started raving, Musmanno asserted.
The lawyer declared later that there
is mo question" but that Vanzetti's
mind is affected
"I knew it, i <lew it," was Van
zetti's reply. GO and get that million

Musmanno said Vanzetti wanted
wireless set in his cell so that he
could tell the world his whole story.
When Deputy Warden James L.
Hogsett and two other prison officers
went for the two men a short time
later they found them quiet, and,
according to the guards, they gave
no signs of breakSg down as they
walked through tie prison to the
death house, some distance from
Cherry Hill. Celestino Madeiros, con-
victed of another murder but SEN
fenced to die on the same date as
Sacco and Vanzetti, was transferred
also to the death house. The three
men, according to the guards, walked
without assistance and there was
no conversation during the brief
trip.
They were placed again in adjoin-
ing cells, the same they occupied
before the respite last week. They will
remain there until they start their

BOSTON, Aug. 1s CP)-The effort of
counsel for Nicola Sacco and Bar
tolomeo Vanzetti to obtain from the
fun bench of the Massachusetts su-
preme court a reversal of previous
decisions in the state courts failed
today. The court overruled the de-.
tense exceptions to decisions of Judge
Webster Thayer of the superior court
and of Justice George A. Sanderson
of the supreme court, and denied
petition for a writ of error brought
before the full bench, it's decision was
based purely on legal grounds.
Immediately after the announce
ment of the decision defense counsel
began steps to bring the record OF
the case before the United States
supreme court and to obtain a stay
of execution of the two men for
murder Their respite expires at mid
night on August %.
Arthur D. Hill, chief defense coun.
sci, instructed Michael A. Musmanno,

proceed to Washington to file with
