| New outrages ushercl in the day

In the Sacco-Fanzetti cases.
With the two scheduled to 60 to
/ the electric chair shortly after mid
night. at Charlestown, Mass, an ex-
| plosion of dynamite wrecked the
heart Of Pitcher, Okla, demolishing
two homes, damaging scores of
other buildings and injuring several
persons. Authorities secuted the be-
f.; lief held by many residents that
radicals were responsible for the
blast.
At Chicago, tear gas was used by
;he police and one shot was fired be-
fore parade of radicals toward the
loop district was halted.
Police departments were held on
emergency duty throughout the day
in dozens of cities, following frus-
trated demonstrations last night and
announcements that new efforts
would be made to hold such meet
ings up to the final hour.
I Protest strikes called in leading
cities yesterday failed to come up to
the point of numbers of workers
who were expected by leaders to
leave their employment. AT Ro-
chester, n. Y, however, 10000
clothing workers left their jobs,
while in New York City leaders gave
unchecked estimates of 100000
being on strike.
From foreign capitals, continued
to come reports of similar activities
designed to influence state or fed
eral intervention in behalf of the
two condemned men. Except for
the explosion of bomb in a railway
station near Buenos Aires. no ex-
IRENE developments were recorded,
however. demonstrations taking the
form, usually, of meetings of protest
and of delegations waiting upon
those in authority.
There was nothing more than a
"hint" to base the continued hope
Of the Sacco-Nanzetti defense for
last day respite. Governor Allan T.
Fuller, at Boston, agreed to take
under consideration" their petition
for further stay Of execution. In
addition, defense counsel were ready
to carry new appeal to the state SUI
preme court.

There was to be no relaxation "un-

despite the fact that the city came
through a day of strikes which did
not appear to disturb business, and
protest demonstrations that resulted
in few disorders.
Mobilization of the city's $4,000

this innocent looking victim has
turned out to be. And with venge-
full whack at the camePs flank we
floated along at a trot once more,
just to show me who was really mas
ter of the situation in spite of my
moral victory.
The camels came to rest on the high
ground around the Sphinx, the very
recent re-excavation of which disclosed
the mysterious creature in it's entirety,
its long forepaws and even its lions
tail curling around it's body.
Between opportunities and attempts
to appreciate the monument before us,

adventures with Arab and camel on
the way out. We were almost more
anxious to escape the Arabs than to
see more of the Sphinx, so we were
glad to remount and start back. My
camel man still looked bit put out
and when my escort said something
about keeping his ''wife's" camel close
to his the poor Arabs face expressed
questioning doubt followed by disgust
and resignation, and he fell in line and
doggedly plodded back to Mena at the
heels of the other camel.

came down the platform to assure us
that our trunks were safely awaiting
us at our hotel Our special train full
of Mediterranean cruise passengers
discharged its load, and after surrend-
ering the tickets which enabled us to
leave the station we poured into the
waiting busses and were whirled off
to Shepherds, that most famous of
Egyptian hostelries. Our party had
been off up the Nile away from the
rest of our fellow travellers for nearly
two weeks, which is long time when
measured by years of historical sights

greeted sincerely as lifelong friends.

exploded. Then came talk of the after
Moons program. The official sight
seeing in Cairo for Optional No. was
to start with a trip to the Pyramids
and the Sphinx. Some of the others
had been the day before.
"You must ride a camel"
ooh, but it really isn't safe. You

our party, who is at the Continental,
had a terrible experience"
Then followed in lowered tones a
tale of an attempted robbery after the
camel man had lead the animal and
its rider off behind a sand dune. Com
mon suspicion of the Arab and the
"panicy" feeling of the more excitable
ones combined to suggest enough lurid
tales to make a credulous soul quake
and mothers withdraw permission for
their daughters to venture out on
camels. The catalogue stated gener-
ously that camels. donkeys and sand
carts were available for the ride from
the autos to the Pyramids. OF course,
the camel was the thing. That was
understood from the start and now
the great adventure seemed to have
been ruined. However, after much
pleading and attempts to minimize
tales it was decided that the camel
ride would be possible for one daugh-
ter, only on the condition that a GER
tain young man assume the role of
chief bodyguard and general protector
during the afternoon.
Assorted makes of touring cars took
us for about an hours ride through
the paved streets of the city, across
the mouths of the Nile, past fine
houses set in beautiful gardens, and
on into the country where grain fields
and truck gardens bordered the road
and where camels laden with twice
their bulk of sugar cane ambled to-
ward the city and where huge bundles
of green hay bobbed along with the
head and four little feet of a donkey.
Down a long avenue with over-arching
trees we drove and were thrilled to
catch glimpses of the great triangular
faced masses of stone erected with
such great labor and cunning thou
sands of years ago. Thrilled first at
the sight, then a bit frightened though
outwardly unconcerned, at the pros
pect of the encounter with the UNI
scrupulous Arab.

Even the playing of the quartet

Their intonation seemed less accurate
than previously and that magic that
gives life and quick meaning to every
phrase appeared but intermitteutly.

moments of dissonance and realistic

Beethoven's quartet opus "A was not
received with complete understanding
and warm enthusiasm by his first
audiences.
The second quartet yesterday was
opus 95, written in the key of f
minor. 1t is a work in which each
note for each instrument stands out

GENEVA, April 2t.--Hugh Gibson,
American delegate TO the preparatory
disarment conference, has declined
to attend the meeting of n special
committee which is framing the draft
treaty for the supervision of the
private manufacture of arms.
His absence from the committee, to
which he had been appointed, caused
surprise. but was explained in a letter
from Mr.. Gibson in which he said
that he thought his presence would
not serve any useful purpose until il
became clear that the committee
would put into the treaty provisions
extending its operations to arms of
governmental manufacture.
The American delegation apparently
interprets the League of Nations as
sembly resolution authorizing an
eventual disarmament conference as
distinctly including both arms of gov
ernmental and private manufacture,
but Japan and Italy, in particular. are
opposed to taking in the question of
state manufacture.
The committee, over which Count
Won Bernstroff. the German delegate
and former American Ambassador.
presided, yesterday virtually drew up
two conventions which are calculated
to satisfy both schools of thought, and
eventually the council of the League
of Nations will be faced with the prob
lem of deciding which has the more
reasonable chance of success.
