General Arthur L. Gilliom declar-
ing the Office OF superintendent of
public instruction vacant, Governor
Jackson announced at noon today
that appointment of a successor to

today.
Miller was among those who
called on the Governor to discuss

The Gilliom ruling pointed out
that the indianapolis superin-

stitutional provision that no two Of

and then went on to declare that
when Miller took the city school po-
sition, he automatically vacated the
State post.
Miller, however, has refused to
resign. He holds, upon advice of
attorneys, that II is within his pow

stated he will accept only State pay.

Disorders and Violence

Drama Close.
PARIS REDS INFLAMED
Catholic Monastery Bombed

BIZ United Press

By United Press
Disorder, mass protests, violence
and one death were side shows last
night and today to the drama of
Nicola Sacco and Bartholomew
Vanzetti's execution
Thousands of persons in the
United States, Europe, Great
Britain and Australia met to pro-
lest against the death sentence.
Anti-American sentiment was
especially prevalent in Geneva, seat
Of the League of Nations, where
one person was killed and twenty
five we're injured.
American automobiles we're at
tackled; stones were thrown at
American delegates to the Leagues
press conference; the council room
of the League was wrecked.
Police dispersed protesting crowds
in France, Germany, England, Den
mark, Chicago and Detroit. Some
heads we're broken; no one was
killed.

Paris Communists planned an at
tempt to prevent the American Le-
gion convention meeting there next
month.
London police dispersed demon
strators near Buckingham Palace
and the United States embassy.
Throughout Europe, United States
embassies and consulates were un-
der guard.
Italy was orderly, although feeling
was intense.
Pennsylvania State police sought
the murderer of a State policeman,
who was shot after Sacco-Van-
zetti meeting yesterday.
Two bombs exploded in Montpe-
lier, France, and another damaged
monastery in Cleveland, Ohio.
There was no evidence to link these
bombs with Sacco-Vanzetti sympa-
thizers.
Geneva Mobilizes Troops
Europeans awoke today without
learning from their morning papers
that Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Yanzetti had died in the electric
chair. The hour of execution hav-
ing come too late to catch even the
last editions.
An exception was the Daily Ex-
press of London, which held up its
last edition for the first time in
nineteen years.
But the word soon spread, and
serious outbreaks we're feared.
Two thousand troops were mobil-
lied today in Geneva, said dis

Company, to prevent further Sacco-
Vanzetti riots.

= might we'll have had in mind
the intensely interesting event
which has Greenfield, his birth
town, all agog today.
For somebody abandoned a baby
"a bright-eyed, cuddly little fellow
in basket on a Greenfield street
Sunday night. Whoever pressed
the tender little body deep down
into a rough split basket was GER
tainly Indifferent to the fate that
might overtake it, for fiat against
the wheel of parked automobile,
the basket rested.
Entered in Baby Show
Only one kind thing that person
did. He or she picked out the town
of Greenfield in which to leave that
little pink bundle, and from the
time Mrs. Robert Yule, hearing a
strangling little cry, looked into the
basket and took it to Sheriff Harry
Comstock's Office, one constant
stream Of Greenfield people have
"ch'd" and "ah'd" at the roundelit-
tie face and the helpless, waving
baby hands.
Today the baby was entered in
the baby show at the Hancock
County fair being held at Green
field. Mrs. Harry Comstock, who
has cared for the baby since 1t was
laid in her arms Sunday night, will
be its attendant at the show, and
the whole countryside is expected
to turn out.
There have been hundreds and
hundreds of Greenfield folks at our
house to see the darling little
thing" said Mrs. Comstock. IT hate
to give it up"
at bet we've had fifty offers from
folks who want to adopt the little
fellow" said Marshall Winslow,
president of the Children's Board
of Guardians at Greenfield. TN fact
so many have offered that it's going
to be puzzling to know how to de-
eide its future foster parents"
So Greenfield, Riley's home place,
is responding to the mute appeal
Of the little baby who came out of
the night" in just the spirit that
this poet Of the children, would
have wished.
No additional clews have been
found by authorities endeavoring to
determine the baby's parents. From

on the baby's wrist, the child is be-
