a SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTOR

County Attorney Hugh n. Mar
o is winning a reputation as a
prosecutor who gets the guilty
convicted. He is equally success
full in district and supreme court
and the supreme court decision IN
the Schalps case is another sig
nal victory for him. 1t also calls
attention to the fact that Mr.. Mar
ron carries his cases through both
courts without a dollar OF expense
to the county for outside counsel.
1t is a very common practice for
county prosecutors to call for as
sistance in handling big criminal
cases al heavy expense to the
county but Mr.. Marion has not
found this necessary.

tempt of the Senate, he will be
obliged to direct his gigantic en-
terprises from behind the bars OF
a prison.
Sinclair's attorneys file twenty
exceptions to the trial judges de

legal battle will be in the Court OF
Appeals. Ultimately, it is pre-
dicted. the contest will reach the
Supreme Court. Meanwhile. Mr..
Sinclair is out on bail.
The oil m%agnate's conviction
rests solely on the evidence that he
was called by a Senate committee
conducting an inquiry into the Tea

failed to answer certain questions
nut to him. The legality OF the
leases was not an issue.

Time plods with laggard steps;
events that seem ancient history
to many of us are treasured re-
collections to the elders in our
midst. Aunt Jennie" Coleman,
celebrating her ninetieth birthday
anniversary. recalls the Inaugural
ton of % of our 80 Presidents.
Since William Henry Harrison took
the oath of office in 1871 she has
witnessed the Inauguration OF each
successive Chief Executive. She
was then a child of four, accom-
panied by her parents.
Mrs. Coleman has lived in the
same little house on Pennsylvania
Avenue. southeast. for IS years.
Her husband was the messenger
who carried the note to Henry Clay
announcing the nomination of
James K. Polk. Democrat, for Presi-
dent. Clay asked: "Who is Polk?"
to learn later to his sorrow.
Her most vivid recollection is
the last ride of Abraham Lincoln
down Pennsylvania Avenue a few
hours before his assassination by
the actor, John Wilkes Booth. The
Avenue. now a broad, hard-surfaced
thoroughfare. was then a muddy
road, she says. as she stood or the
sidewalk and watched the Presi-
dent and his companions pass.

Italian Press ReplieS

Rome, Aug. P-Referring to Premier Mussolinis personal denial yesterday of reports of violence in connection with the Sacco-V -Vanzetti case against American citizens travelling in Italy, the Rome news papers today unanimously call at- tention to the restraint shown by the press and public here.
 Both, says Il Tevere, fascist or gan, demonstrate remarkable disci- pie of correctness. This course, however, has been followed at a great price, since "nameless agony agitates the hearts of millions"
 "The Italian people," it adds, ''suffocated it's grief and trusts in God"
 The Messaggero declares that Justice which strikes coldly in the face of question of judicial error and after arousing hopes in the breasts of the condemned Is atroci- ous." And adds:
 "The Italian government. within the limits permitted by international custom. has not failed to act in con- sideration of the question of judicial doubt and disturbance of the inter- national conscience"

1000 Workers Strike

Rochester, N. Y, August 9 R
 Four thousand clothing workers went on strike this forenoon in pro- test against the proposed execution of Sacco and Vanzetti.
 A split in labor circles promised fireworks during the day, and re-
 suited in 4,000 instead of 15,000 workers joining the walkout. At a meeting called by the Sacco- Nanzetti defense committee last night. labor leaders who suggested three hour protest strike beginning at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
 were shouted down, and plans for the 24-hour strike were made. These leaders, however. most of them prominent in the Amalgamat- ed Clothing Workers, forbade their
 members joining the general strike and called upon them to remain at their work until Wednesday after noon. Hundreds of the members
 refused to obey this order, and
 joined the strikers in parades and demonstrations this morning

today, almost to the exclusion oi other news.
 Dispatches from many foreign countries telling of movements in favor of the condemned men were given wide publicity. as were let ters said to have been written by Sacco and Vanzetti in prison.
 The editorial writers urged the proletariat to further opposition to the death sentences and condemned the "inhumanity of the American bourgeoisie."
 Resolutions adopted by labor and army organizations as far as the Caucasus, the Crimea and the limits of Siberia are published, together with a message from an industrial group of American students" at Nizhnity- -Novgorod saying they had forwarded a protest to Governor Fuller.
