ASHES TO BE DIVIDED.
Half TO BE Taken to Italy by Vso
zettrs Sister.

BOSTON, August 80 R.-The
shes Of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Vanzetti, executed radicals. will be
divided into four parts. the Sacco-
Vanzetti defense committee an
nounced today. Halt of the remains
of each man will be taken to Italy for
burial there. The other halves will
be inferred in a Maiden cemetery.
Miss Luigia Vanzetti, sister of the
executed man, will take half OF his
ashes and those of Sacco to Italy
under this plan, but its final approval
must await her recovery from the
collapse she suffered following the
ordeal of Sundays funeral procession.
Conflicting rumors as to the DIS.
position of the ashes, which included
one to the effect that they were being
held as security for the payment OF
the undertaker's bill, were dissipated
by Joseph Langone, the undertaken.
Langone branded the story as
'idlotic" and said that Gardner Jack
son of the defense committee already
had offered payment. but he had told
Jackson that there was no hurry and
the bill could be met in due course.
Langone said he preferred to hold
the ashes, which rest in two copper
urns, until he had been specifically
ordered to release them by either
Mrs. Rose Sacco or Miss Vanzetti.
Proposals looking toward a tour Of
the country with the ashes have been
definitely counted out. Miss Van.
zetti vetoed the idea. although Mrs.
Sacco was said to have been willing
to give her consent.
Meanwhile the ashes repose In
Langone's safe.

PARIS, August 30.-As q result Of
loans made to consolidate floating and
short-term debts. the maximum ad-
vances which the Bank Of France is
legally allowed to make to the state,
will be reduced by $500, 900, 900 francs
and established at 100000. 900
francs.
In fact, the state, which in 1926
owed the Bank Of France 38,000,000,.
900 francs. today owes less than 25,.
000, 900 900. These reimbursements to-
gether with important purchases OF
dollars and pounds sterling effected
since January, 1927, by the Bank of
France, have considerably augmented
the security Of the French bank note.
In July, 1925, only 81 per cent Of
the notes in circulation had gold &C.
curity, Is per cent being guaranteed
by commercial bills, while 81 per cent
represented the states debt to the
Bank of France.
At present gold and dollar reserves
guarantee 70 per cent of the French
notes and commercial bills only per
cent. Only % per cent is guaranteed
by the French state debt.
Despite these excellent results OF
his financial administration, Premier
Poincare appears to think the moment
for stabilizing the franc is not at hand.
Sterilization. he believes, is possible
only when the states debt to the
Bank of France has been sufficiently
reduced for French bills to be "paya.

RESIGNATION sTIRs GENEVA.
Veritable Sensation Created by Cecil
Quitting League Post.

GENEVA, August 80 R.-Viscount
Cecils resignation as British envoy
to the League Of Nations created
veritable sensation in League circles.
The opinion was generally expressed
today that his withdrawal will be an
irreparable loss unless he launches into
a campaign for the submission Of more
political problems to the League and
in general fights for recognition and
development of the League as a big
clearing house for international affairs.
Viscount Cecirs career at Geneva
shows that he has always been more
free when not a member Of the Brit
ish government. Enthusiastic Brit.
ish supporters of the League here
predict that he may take the lead in
the League of Nations Union of Eng
land, which is said to have half a mil
lion adherents.
Some observers predict an energetic
debate at the forthcoming Assembly
meeting on the whole problem Of the
Leagues activities and on what is
characterized as tendency to side.
step political questions affecting big
powers.
Enrique villegas, Chilean Minister
to Italy, will preside at the session Of
the League Council opening Thursday.

According to reports brought to the
Summer Capital today, sentiment for
Secretary Hoover for Presid-'.t is
rapidly growing in the Northwest.
The Secretary of Commerce appears
to have an overwhelming lead in
Washington, Senator Wesley L. Jones
of that state, who was one OF the
Presidents callers today, stated with
much positiveness.
Representative Walter H. Newton
Of Minnesota, another presidential
caller, said there has been noticeable
increase in Hoover sentiment in his
State and that1hs thought little cam.
paigning in behalf of Hoover would
win Minnesota's "a delegates to the
next Republican convention.
Both Senator Jones and Representa-
tive Newton expressed the opinion
that former Gov. Lowden of Illinois
has support in their respective States,
but insufficient to get their delega'
tons to the Republican convention.
It was held probable by Representa-
tive Christopherson of South Dakota.
who conferred with the President yes
terday, that Gov. Lowden would com.
nand the South Dakota delegation
now that President Coolidge had de-
cided not to run.
