It was Sunday, and she was var

made the sheriff more suspicious;
so, a few days later, when she was
away, he entered and examined
the floor.
AS he suspected, the varnish was
being used to cover bloodstains.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 20.-Gov-

game with the lives of Sacco and
Vanzetti added so much misery to
their last days, and whose brutal
anxiety to get them killed in an
impressive manner has shocked the
civilized world, today admitted
that he had been offered the re-
publican nomination for vice-pres-
ident.
The governor remarked that
Governor Ralph o. Brewster, (R),

that he had talked with the COVER
nor of Connecticut and other New
England governors and that all
were impressed with the idea of
going to the Republican National
Convention with united New Eng
land behind Fuller for vice-presi-
dent.
Fuller made the usual protesta-
tions that he sought no such honors
and would rather stay home and
take care of his children.

City Rail Ownership Pays

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. II, {FP) -
During the past IA years the city of
San Francisco has made profit Of
more than $5,500,O00 on it's Municipal
Railway, says a report from Local
Union 151, Init. Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers, to the official Journal
of that brotherhood. The city took
over the Geary Street line in Decem-
Der, 1912, and the figures quoted are
for the period to January, 1927.
In these IA years, despite every pos
sible form of opposition from the priv
ate companies, the city lines have
maintained the cent fare and yet
have taken in $34 ,332,09O, while oper-
ating costs have been $28,305615. 1t
is estimated that, by keeping fares at
sc, the city lines have saved San Fran
cisco $4,000, 000-which is 10 times
what the roads cost the people.
Wages and conditions on the city
lines are union, and are better than on
the private competing system.

clergy. In the new states which were
created by the world war there has
been virtual confiscation of large
part of the properties formerly owned
by the landed nobility of the central
empires and of the Baltic states. All
these confiscatory acts are now sane
titled by usage. Nor, lest we should
become self-righteous, should we for
get that a number Of our own states
repudiated their debts during the
years following the panic of 1887, and
that after the Civil War reconstruc-
ton period, many southern states also
repudiated the bonds which had been
issued during the regime of the car
pet-baggers. Governments, indeed,
being sovereign, have the legal right
of confiscation."
Favor A Conference.
"We believe that our government
should be willing to enter confer
ence with Russia where these claims
could be adjusted in general set
Element that would fully protect the
interests of all American creditors
without involving Russia's diplomatic
relations with other nations under the
most favored nation clause.
"The loan of $187,000,000 to the
so-called Bakhmetiev government
stands upon a somewhat different
footing. Most of this money was used
by Bakhmetiev after the fall in No
vember, 1917, of the Kerensky gov
eminent, which he represented in the
United States. Mr.. Bakhmetiev sub
sequently remained in Washington for
several years, being recognized during
this time by the state department as
the official representative of the Rus
sian government, although his gov
eminent was non-existent. The major
portion of these funds was used, with
the knowledge of our government, to

but the prices charged were so high
that handsome profit was made by
the German firms. An ironical fea-
ture of this transaction is that Amer
lean credits to Germany made possible
this loan to Russia and the conse-
quent profits to German rather than
to American business houses. 1t also
served to employ German rather than
American labor.
Loans Interfered With.
Constructive loans to Russia would
be difficult and perhaps impossible to
make under the present policy of our
government. In the first place, it is
not unfair to the state department to
say that it would in all probability
discourage such investments were they
submitted to it for approval, as they
necessarily would be-"
Referring to the question of recog-
milton as a reinsurance to prospective
investors, the report says;
Such solicitude for the profits of
American capitalists may seem some
what incongruous on the part of a
delegation of American workers. We
are not concerned about the gains of
American capitalists. They are quite
able to take care of themselves, and
many of them openly favor the recog-
milton Of Russia as a direct benefit to
their own economic interests. Yet
American labor has even a greater
interest in this question than the capt.
talists, involving not profits for a few
but employment for thousands. Every
intelligent worker can see that large
loan to Russia to finance the purchase
Of American machinery would directly
result in giving a bigger pay envelope
to American labor and would stimu-
late the prosperity of the primary in
dustries of the nation.
Finally, we believe that nearly all
Americans want to live in friendship
with the people of Russia"
Continuing, the delegation reports:
"The Russian government has been
in existence for ten years, and has re-
PEELED many attacks upon it, while
life is more secure there than in some
parts of our own country. If our ira
ditional policy of recognizing de facto
governments be correct, then surely
the present government of Russia
merits recognition.
The Issue of 'Compensations."
Turning to the question of COM
rensation for American property, it
is a matter of history that many re-
spectacle nations have practiced the
confication of property without COM
pensation and have even repudiated
their debts Thus England under
Henry VIII confiscated church prop
erty, while the French Revolution
seized the lands of the nobility and
