NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Sacco and Vanzetti Given
Twelve-Day Reprieve-
Gen. Woods Death.
BY EDWARD w. PicKARD

CACCO and Vanzetti, who were to
~ have been executed August l 1,
were granted IL more days of life by
Governor Fuller of Massachusetts, af-
ter Justice Holmes of the United
States Supreme court and Judge An
derson of the Federal Circuit court
had denied appeals for writ of ha-
beas corpus on the ground that they
had no right to issue the writ unless
1t was shown that the court which
tried the case was without jurisdic-
ton. The reprieve was given the con-
demned men with the approval of the
state executive council in order to al
low ruling on writ of error by JUS
tice Sanderson of the state Supreme
court which, if approved. would take
the case to the full bench of the Su-
preme court. Celestino Madeiros, SEN
fenced on another murder charge to
die at the same time, was included in
the respite. Justice Sanderson let the
matter go to the full court.
1t is to be hoped by all right-minded
Americans that this new delay in the
leisurely course of justice was not due
in any way to the noisy, violent DEM
onstrations which radicals and Senti-
mentalists have been staging in nearly
all parts of the world. That the bombs.

Sale OF Watch
Provides Clue
To Store Theft
Norman Maui, 80 Arrested for
Stealing $500 In Cloth
ing, Watches
POLICE TRACE MAN
THROUGH TIMEPIECE
Accused Awaits Grand Jury
Action in Jail-Search of
Room Reveals Quantity of
Loot

Normal Maui, 80, was committed
to Mays Landing Jail Wednesday
night, to await grand jury action
on charges of grand larceny and
breaking and entering.
Maui was arrested by local
police following the theft more
than a week ago of quantity of
clothing and jewelry from a store
owned by Charles Shepherd,
Adams avenue and Main street.
Clever detective work on the part
of Chief of Police Naylor and
Officer Somers Endicott was re-
sponsibfe for the mans arrest.
Shepherd reported to the police
several days ago that someone had
broken into his store during the
night and made off with large
quantity of goods. By tracing a
watch, part of the loot, which Maui
is said to have sold, police were
convinced of the thief's identity,
and the arrest followed soon after.
A search of MauPs room at 511 S.
Main street revealed more than
$500 worth of new clothing, suits,
shirts and socks, watches, rings
and watchchains, all of which were
identified by Shepherd as part of
the stolen stock.
Maui confessed to the police,
claiming that he was badly in need
of money and that he was intoxi-
Gated at the time he committed the
crime. Justice Stephens, after
hearing the case, sent the prisoner
to Jail without bail.
The store from which the goods
were stolen is one dealing in new
and second hand clothing, furniture
and jewelry. Since Shepherd had
made no inventory of his stock, it
could not be learned how much had
been stolen, and how much was
recovered. Police believe that most
of the goods have been recovered.
Maui, if found guilty of the
charges, faces a maximum prison
sentence of Is years.

Newark and Trenton since April,
when Brady was first arrested by
local police. Following his arrest he

enable that body compete with other cities for
ventions
In other cities labor prices lower and
exhibitors at conventions able get their exhibits
in place at lower costs. The difference between the
cost of making an exhibit in Atlantic City and the cost
of making like exhibit in other city has very
great influence in determining whether one will make
an exhibit in Atlantic City not.
These influences also determine the success OF the
efforts of the Atlantic City Convention and Publicity
Bureau to get conventions for Atlantic City
