AS the fatal hours approached thai
the lives of the two radicals were to
De eXtlnguished with a shock of cleo
tEclty, their lawyer wanted to see
them for a last word but was refused
the privilege by the Warden. Only
one press representative, that of the
Associated Press, was allowed in tbe
death room at the time of the execn-
1on. The following is his account of
the scene:

murder of a Wrenhana bank cashier
Saccco and Vanzetti were executed
Tor The murder of paynaAsoer and
his guard at Braintree, more than
seven years ago. Sacco was dead at
l2:l9 and Vanzetti at 1926.
Inside and outside of the high pris-
on wall stood a small army of armed
guards. Waiting also were the press
wires to inform the world that the
long fight to save the men was at an
end. The fight in behalf of the men
continued until the last minute.
Both Sacco and Vanzetti made brief
speeches in the death chamber be-
fore they took their seats in the chair.
Vanzetti protesting his innocence to
the last.
SaccO pale but steady, shouted in
Italian: ':Long live anarchy" as he
sat down in the chair.
Then in broken English he went on:
"Farwell my wife and child and all
my friends" The straps were being
adjusted as he said his last words:
Good evening, gentlemen. Farewell
mother"
Vanzetti entered the death chamber

Hail and frost damage was only
average during the week. In the
Roanwood and Poplar districts of Val
ley county flax and wheat were frost

fered heavy hail loss.
Winter wheat is to date yielding

increase in acreage as compared to

suspecting Public.
Jim POpesku, proprietor of the
Cafe where cOckrOaches adOrn
some of his soup dishes like frog
legs in Minnesota slOSgh. ran
into a lot of trouble last week.
He was arrested by Undersheriff
Bob RObke and charged with
selling cigarettes without a state
license and taken before Justice
of the Peace Wheeler. The .Jus-
tice fined him $25.OO and ordered
him to pay the State license. He
paid $50 more for the license. IT
is stated that complaint that he
sold cigarettes to Minors is also
made the subject of investigation
by the legal authorities.
Mr.. POpesku has made no state
ment as to whether he is to fumi-
gate his kitchen and kill the
crawling creatures therein. He
has not denied that there is much
comeback butter which is melted
and plastered on patrons bread
with a paint brush. The dish
washer frequently takes this but
ter off the small butter plates
with his greasy hands and puts it
in a bowl where it is mixed ND
and served to the patrons of the
cafe. Leavings of bread is also
used for making bread puddings,
etc, with the result that some
people have to eat what others
have left after them on their
plates. The girls in the cafe, who
are OverwOrked and underpaid,
carry this back to the kitchen
where it is ''made over" and serv-
ed to the public at top prices.
A further investigation of the
Elgin is in progress and develop
ments are expected at an early
date.

BAN JOHNSON READY
TO RESUME DUTIES

CHICAGO, March 81 Lp.-Base bal
followers were interested today in the
statement of Ban Johnson at Excelsior
Springs, Mo-, that he felt he had re-
covered from his recent illness and
was ready to take an active hand III
American League affairs again.
Johnson. who has been on indefinite
leave of absence as president of the
junior circuit, said he expected to re-
turn here in few days to attend a
meeting of league officials.
1t was learned today that the league
prexy paid an unheralded visit to
Chicago last week, spent considerable
time in the league offices and returned
to Excelsior Springs Saturday night
without news of his visit becoming
public.
"Mr. Johnson appeared very much
improved in healthy said William
Harridge, league secretary. How
ever. he did not say when he planned
to resume his active duties" Har-
ridge said he knew of no league meet
ings to be held here in the immediate
future.
Johnson was retired from active
leadership by league directors after
his clash with Base Ball Commissioner
Lands over the Cobb-Speaker affair.
No further controversy was antici-
pated by base ball circles should
Johnson resume active duties, as it
is believed that both he and Lands
would be content to call the incident
closed.

VETERAN MARQUARD FAILS
TO LAND JOB WITH GIANTS

BY the Associated Press
n YEW YORK, March 31.---Rube
nj MarQuard, greatest lefthander
VI in the game ID years ago. is
l. unable to end his ma or
league career az he achieved
his greatest fame-in the uniform of
New York Giant.
The tall, slim southpaw, who turned
in 10 straight victories one season for
John McGraw. has been told that his
arm has lost its cunning. his
whistling speed ball has slowed to a
walk, and there is no place for him
on the Giant staff this season.
The Giants have moved to Chat.
tanooga on the first leg of the home
ward journey. McGraw, after con-
ferences in New York believed to
have sought a solution of Rogers
Hornsby's st. Louis stock problem,
will meet the club there. He expects
to talk salary with Eddie Roush, out
field holdout, at Chattanooga, Jack
son or Memphis. Rumors of a 5000
a-year compromise are in the air.
The revamped outfit Wilbert Robin
son Matched out for Brooklyn under
the hot sun at Clearwater was on
the way home today by way of Jack
sonville and New Orleans, where ex-
hibitions are scheduled. Aside from
veteran pitching staff, Uncle Robbie
will place his faith in youngsters,
spread through the infie1d and out
field.
The Yankees left st. Petersburg
yesterday for another year. Four
familiar figures were left behind,
Pitchers Pennock and Chesterfield to
iron out sore arms, Catcher Ben
cough to help them and Tony Lazzeri
to watch and recover from a knee in
lection. The Yanks, because of exhi-
billions, will be nine days on the
homeward trail.

OF the Chicago Cubs and the White
Sox will come out of the four-game

Boss Mccarthy of the Cubs has
pickle Tony Kaufman to pitch to-
day. Several young Cub hurlers
have been told they will not stick
with the Chicagoans this season. but
Manager Mccarthy has not yet placed
them. The team will be reduced

By the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, March 31.-Pete
Latzo may have a better chance
VI of retaining his welter-
4 weight championship if he re-
trains from attempting to
knock out Joe Dundee in their title
battle at the Polo Grounds in June.
Dundee, it seems, doesn't begin to
do his best until he has hit the floor"
His manager, Max Waxman, says so,
and points to the number of battles
the Baltimore italian has won by raj
lying after being knocked down.
Occasionally, as in the case of his
first fight with Eddie Roberts, Dundee
is hit hard enough to stay down. But
usually Joe is able to bound back into
action and keep his protruding chin
well covered. The second time he
fought Roberts he came back to win
after being floored for a count of
eight.
1t seems. OH the whole, that the
knockout wallop isn't what it used to
be. Instead of bringing about disas-
trous results it has served as a tonic
and inspired comebacks for battlers
such as Dundee, Mike McTigue, Tiger
Flowers, Mickey Walker and others.
McTigue's knockout cure" at the
hands of Jack Delaney resulted in the
venerable Irishmans brief but sensa-
tional sortie into heavyweight society.
He collected two of his most profitable
purses. about $4,000 each, for
matches with Paul Berlenbach and
Jack Sharkey.
Flowers was perhaps the most
knocked-out boxer who ever won a
worlds championship. The Georgia
deacon busted the resin in defeat no
less than eight times before he took
the middleweight crown from Harry
Greb. Jack Delaney knocked out the
Tiger twice.
Walker. who took the title from
Flowers in Chicago, also tried the
knockout tonic beforehand. Mickey
was stopped by Joe Dundee and Ia
beled Through" by the critics shortly
before he pounded his way to honors
in a heavier division.
