AZURE

AND RECOvE:NE
Highway Creditors Bill
Expected to Be Passed
in Compromise.
FOURTH SESSION
Governor Prepares Call for
Fourth Special Session
to Follow.

PHOENIX, Ariz, aug. 9 R0-The
third special, session of the eighth
legislature is expected to adiourn
tomorrow after the passage of the
highway creditors relief bill and will
convene in fourth special session
Immediately after receiving the cali
of the governor, according to the
present tentative program OF the ma
iority and minority leaders announced
today.
Speaker Crawford of the house said
that he believed by tomorrow night
or at least Thursday the legislator
will have, completed their work and
will be able to return home. The
speaker reported to the members that
with an agreement finally reached,
only the mechanical details remain
and those, he thought, would be
cleaned UP by tomorrow.
Today's sessions were devoted MAIN
ly to conferences and caucuses and
the passage of an additional "feed
BILL" appropriating funds for ex
penses of the legislature. The original
appropriation of $20,400 in the first
feed bill has been used up and the
new bin provides $3,479 additional
funds. The bill passed both houses
under suspension of the rules.
The compromise highway bill ap~
proved by both factions Monday was
studied at caucuses this morning and
it was reported that the work was
nearing completion. The drafting of
the creditors relief bill which is ex-
pected to be introduced in the morn
ing also has been virtually COM
pleted.
The tenseness which was in evil
dence during previous days of the
session while a compromise was being
discussed was absent today the at
titude OF the legislature being directed
to the finishing up of the task and
returning to, their homes.
While Governor Hunt is now pre-.
pairing the call for the fourth special
session, 1t is believed that it will
not be released until the highway
creditors bill is on his. desk after
having been passed by both houses.
The call, it is understood, will
provide for immediate convening Of
the new special session at which the
highway measure agreed upon in the
compromise negotiations will be the
only business transacted. Rumor has
it, however, that the new call will
take in several other bills.
No efforts for any further import
ant changes in the major clauses
of the highway bill were made today
during the conferences, it was re-.
ported The provision fog a highway
commission appointed by the governor
with the consent of the senate, giving
! the governor the right to recess ap-
pointments; the clause prohibiting re-
rnoval of commissioners except for
cause, and the section raising the
limits of the force account from
| SIS 900 to $4,000, are virtually the
same form as agreed upon by the
! compromise committee.

N. Y. POLICE BREAK UP PARADE
/ SACCO, VANZETTI SYMPATFIIZERS

NEW YORK, Aug. (P)--Mounted
policemen tonight broke up an at
tempt of Sacco- -Vanzetti sympathizers
to parade to city hail. The parade, for
which permission had been refused,
started after peaceful protest meet
ing had been staged in Union square.
A crowd estimated by police at 1000
moved along Fifteenth street Fifth
avenue and marched seven blocks
south before policemen riding into the
throng scattered the parade.
The impromptu demonstration fol-
lowed day during which thousands
of Sacco- -Vanzetti synpathizers aban-
Cioned their trades on a 24-hour strike
and attended various protest meetings.
There were various estimates of the
number on strike. Labor leaders set
the figure at 100000. Rose Baron, sec
retary of the Sacco-Vanzetti ener-
gency committee, said 100000 was a
conservative estimate. Police said
100000 was liberal estimate and that
the figure was nearer $4,000.
Among those who were reported to
have Joined the strike were the United
Hebrew trades, The Analgamated
Clothing Workers, The International
Ladies Garment Workers, Information
al Pocketbook Workers, cloth, hat cap
and millinery workers, New York Fur
workers union Butcher. Worl1men,
Bakers and Confectioners, The Broth
erhood of Painters and unaffiliated
socialist workers. These unions have
a strength estimated at 100000, but in
some cases, as with the fur workers,
it was denied that they were on strike
No transit employees quit work, and
the CITY did not seem affected by the
strikes. The Evening Sun said the
strikers .'made only a ripple on the
life of the city"

CHAIR READY FOR SACC0, VANZElTI
FORCE OR ATTEMPTED
VIOLENCE IS REPORTED
THROUGHOUT WORLD
(By The Associated Press

With Nicola SaccO and BartO-
IemetO VanZetH due for execution
tomorrow morning demonstrations
by their sympathizers yesterday
worked up toward last minute ef-
forts in their behalf.
Judge Webster Thayer, trial
judge and now superior court
judge, yesterday refused to stay or
revoke sentence. An appeal was
made to the full bench of the state
supreme court from a decision re-
fusing a writ of error. Action on
the appeal is expected today.
Meantime violence or attempted
violence was reported in cities
throughout the world. In London
a bomb exploded in a subway, but
little damage was done and police
concluded it was set off by a prac-
ticaI joker. In Chicago police laid
the bombing of an Italian Catholic
church to SaccO- Vanzetti SYM
pathizers, and an unexplOded
bomb was found in building next
TO sub pOstoffice.
Boston police began investigation
of the reports of caches of ex-
pIOsives near the city.
At Rapid City il was reiterated
in behalf of President Coolidge
that he considers the trial and
execution state matter and he
> does not expect to intervene.
Sympathy strikes were called in
such widely separated cities that
no estimates of the number of
workers involved was possible last
night.
In New York police broke up a
parade ON Fifth avenue which some
Sacco- Vanzetti sympathizers at
tempted to hold after protest
mass meeting in Union square.
In Brussels, Belgium, cOmmun-
lists clashed with police before the
United States consulate and were
not dispersed until they had de-
IiVered a protest to the consul.
Newark, N. j., police refused per-
mits for demonstration meetings,
and at Scranton, Pa, sympatEliz-
ers planning to march ON coal
mines were dispersed.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-08-10

About Is meetings were held during
the day.
At nearly all of the meetings Gov
ernor Fuller, his advisory committee,
and trial Judge Webster Thayer were
denounced.
Virtually the only disturbance re-
ported was the clash between police
and students on the campus Of New
York university. The students dis
persed, reassen1bled at another point,
and, when they waved American flags,
were allowed to protest the impending
executions unmolested.
The events of the day reached a
climax with meeting in Union
square, police estimated that $4,000
persons attended this There were l.
600 patrolmen, 500 detectives and q
squad of mounted police to keep the
crowd orderly. More than 1000 police
were held in reserve close by in case
of an emergency.
AS one result of the Union square
meeting. the following telegram was
sent to- President Coolidge:
Unless you intervene, Sacco and
! Vanzetti die Wednesday night. We
respectfully appeal to you to exercise
the power conferred upon you by the
people of the nation to follow the
! precedent established by the late Presi-
dent Wilson in the M " case. Mil
| lions Of citizens throughout the land
believe that relationship between a
federal department and the Sacco-
/ Vanzetti prosecution existed at the
! time of the trial.
Judge Thayer said the convictions
of these men rest solely on the inter-
probation of their acts at the time of
arrest as consciousness of guilt. We
feel confident that the files of the

STATE PRISON, CharIestown,
Mass, Aug. 9, (R-Preparations for
the execution of Bartholomeo Van
zetti and Nicola Sacco something af-
ter midnight tomorrow night went
forward quietly within the prison
here today while counsel for the
two men continued to wage a desper-
ate last minute fight in the courts
to save the lives of the two men.
For the actual execution there
remained little to be done. More than
a week ago the chair in which the
two will be executed was made ready.
Straps were oiled and adjusted and
the apparatus gone over. Some time
before the hour when the men are
to die the state executioner will
make a final inspection but his visit
probably will be secret.
The preparations for the most part
were precautionary.
Today visitors found it as easy as
usual to enter the prison YARD but
! tomorrow admission will be more
difficult. The number Of guards, al
ready more than normal, will be in
creased and only those having i'm
portant business will be admitted. An
area about the prison will be shut
off and tomorrow night no one but
those who can pass the muster of
guards will get near. Machine guns
will be mounted on the walls. This
afternoon several searchligts were
taken into the warden's office and it
is expected these will be placed at
points upon the walls from which
they can command the surrounding
streets.
Within their cells in the death
house Sacco and Vanzetti prepared
to pass what may be their last full
night on earth in manner no diff
ferent from those that have gone by
since they were transferred to the
death row. Neither ate the food that
was offered him. In an adjoining
cell Celestino MadeiroS, sentenced to
die with them, though for another
crime, lay upon his cot except when
the meals were brought.
Mrs. Rose Sacco, wife Of Nicola,
paid her daily visit to the condemn
/ ed men today. Her arrival produced
the only furry of excitement. She
was accompanied by Arnio Coda and
