Car tokens good on both buses

a resolution forwarded to the Pnpllc
Utilities Commission.
The resolution requested also that

intention of Congress. in proVldlng
a separate utilities commission, to
correct some OF the injustices TO
which we have been subjected in the
past" and held that it is self-ev1dent
that busses are cheaper to operate,
since the taxpayers pay for the up
keep of the streets over which they
run and the companies do not have
to lay tracks, and that a bus rider
should not have to pay more than
street car passenger. G. M. Koocko-
gev submitted the resolution.
More traffic lights in the neighbor-

ference that he intends TO retire

His manner of making the state
ment, although he refused to ampli
fly his previous announcement, re-
moved any suspicion that his II do
not choose to be a candidate in
1923" carried qualifications.
1t is understood beyond all ques-
ton that Mr.. Coolidge will not per-
NIT his name to be presented to the
national convention. There had
been some speculation to the effect

might indicate the President would
consent to lie drafted" as his
partys leader.
The President, further, was ex-
.pected to retire from public life

Counsel for Anarchists Will File Appeal for
New Trial in Massachusetts Su-

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Police
Commissioner Warren today recalled
all policemen on vacations, cancelled
vacations about to begin and kept
all reserves on duty to guard
against a recurrence of the bomb
ings which last night partially
wrecked two subway stations, in
turing a score or more people, two
seriously.
The bombs exploded within ten
minutes of each other in the Twen-
ty-Eighth st. stations OF the In
terborough Rapid Transit and the
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit Lines.
The explosions took place in mid
town Manhattan during the after
theater rush hour. The first was at
11:15, in the lavatory of the B. M.
T. station at Twenty Eighth st. and
Broadway. The second, at 11:26, was
at the southern end of the I. R. T.
station at Twenty Eighth st. and
Fourth Ave.
Fourteen persons were taken to
hospitals. All but two returned to
their homes after treatments.
Police believed the bombs had
been placed in protest against the
death sentence pronounced on
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti, which is to be executed
Aug. 10.
Store windows along Broadway,
Fourth Avenue and side streets be-
tween Twenty-Seventh and Thirty
First streets were shattered by the
Adetonations.
The explosions were so violent
that many almost certainly would
have been killed had train been
at either of the stations at the time.
A train entered the B. M. T. station
Just few seconds after the blast.
The tube was filled with dust and
smoke, and the frightened passen-
gers left the cars.
The interiors Of both stations
were damaged badly. Plaster and
chunks of concrete were torn out OF
the walls and ceilings and parts OF
the ceilings were ripped up clear
through to the sidewalk.

Coolidge Closely Guarded

BIZ UntteU Pf6SS
RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 6.-The
President of the United States to-
day was surrounded by guard as
heavy as that which protected the
chief executive during the World
War, following reports of radical
violence protesting against the
scheduled eleetrocution of Sacco
and Vanzetti.
When report was received from
New York that subways had been
bombed, presumably by synpa-
thizers of the condemned anarchists,
squads of sentries were enlarged to
surround the Presidents summer
home. Vigilance of secret service
men was increased.
Since Governor Fuller of Massa-
chusetts issued his decision Thurs
day holding the two must die for
the double murder committed dur
ing a hold-up at South Braintree,
Mass, secret service men have been
told to employ unusual precautions
and a detail of fifty soldiers from
TT. Meade, guarding the lodge, have
BEEN ordered to challenge anyone
approaching the building.

By United Press
BOSTON, Aug. 6.-Carrying the
fight to save Nicola Sacco and
Bartholomew Vanzetti back to the
State courts, which for six years
have rejected every appeal for a
new trial, Arthur D. Hill, new chief
defense counsel, was to appear this
morning in Superior Court at
Dedham to file a motion for a new
trial based on alleged new evidence.
This move was to have been
made yesterday, but the new de-
fense counsel spent the day instead
in conference with Francis B.
Sayre, a son-in-law of President
Wilson, laying plans for the last
minute defense of the two men,
scheduled to die next Thursday
morning.
Hill also planned to see Governor
Fuller, to ask further respite, so
that time may be had for con-
sideration of his new appeal for a
rev trial.
Don't Want Thayer
1t was understood that Chief
Justice Walter Perley Hall of the
Massachusetts Superior Court would
be asked to assign judge other
than Judge Webster Thayer, trial
judge, to hear the motion.
"We would like to be permitted to
select our own justice, but we think
this request will not be granted"
said member of the Sacco-Vs. =
zetti defense committee.
Should these courses fail, Attorney
Hill might petition Federal Judge
George w. Anderson far a writ of
Habeas Corpus. Favorable action
on this petition would take the radi-
Gals out of the death house, but
would not prevent the executions,
scheduled for early Thursday
morning.
May Plead With Holmes
1t was considered a vitual GER
tainty that, as last resort, the de-
fense would apply to Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes Of the United
STATES supreme CourE now Vaca-
tioning at Beverly Farms, Mass, for
writ of certiorari.
While all these measures had been
contemplated in Sacco and Van
zetti's behalf, it appeared extremely
doubtful that the defense forces
would succeed further in delaying
the executions. Members OF the de-
fense committee conceded that their
chances were slim.
Sacco entered the twenty first day
of his hunger strike today, still re-
fusing nourishment in any form. His
physical condition was reported fair
ly good, however, by DR.. Joseph I.
Mclaughlin, prison physician.
Vanzetti, who renewed his broken
fast just before Governor Fuller's
adverse decision was announced,
also declined food.
