COURTS RAPED
BY NEWSP APERS
IN SACCO CASE
New York Press Comment
Indicates Issue Is
Not Dead.
b. United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Questions
regarding the efficiency of Ameri-
can courts predominated today in
editorial comment on the execution
in Charlestown Prison of Nicola
Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti.
Among the editorial comment in
New York were:
Daily News-Many moral can
be drawn from this miserable busi-
ness. We believe the plainest and
most important moral has to do
with the criminal slowness of GRIM
inal justice in the United States.
Evening World - The Evening
World strongly opposed the carry
ing out of the sentence. 1t now
hopes with equal earnestness that
there may be no bitterness, no re-
elimination, no rancorous harping
on what might or should have been
done, in after discussion of the
event.
Issue Lives On
The New York Telegram-Sacco
and Vanzetti are dead. Nothing
more can be done to them or for
them. But the issue their trial and
conviction raised is still very much
alive. And justice in Massachusetts
is 'still on trial before the world and
will remain on trial until the truth
is known.
The World-We are concerned
with grave question of national
polity. BY the time the last ap-
peals had been made, the judicial
procedure of whole State had be-
come involved in this case, and
whether we like it or not that whole
judicial procedure has gone on trial;
it must justify what it has done be-
fore the American people sitting in
Judgment.
The Sun-For more than six years
the resources provided by the law
of Massachusetts, served to postpone
the infection of the penalty pre-
scribed by that same law. e.
1t is fault of American legal
methods which calls loudly for
mending.
Chicago Opinion
The Chicago Journal said: 1.-THE
men are dead, and there's an end
of the case, but it is not the end
of the bad advertising Massachu-
sets has had, nor is it the end of a
belief, however i'll founded, in the
martyrdom of the two men,"
Other Chicago newspapers did not
comment on the case today.
Boston Views
Boston Herald: THE die is cast.
The arrow has flewn. Now let us go
forward to the duties and response
bilities of the coramon day with re-
newed determination to maintain
our present system of government
and our existing social order"
Boston Transcript: 1.-The Sacco-
Vanzetti case has ended in the only
way it could end. In view of the un-
changing verdict of jury. courts, his
excellency the Governor, and the
advisory committee, any other con-
clusion would have been sheer sur
render to the forces of anarchy and
disorder and an abject admission
that trial by hysteria-which is
nothing else than lynch law-had
prevailed within the common
wealth"

By Times Special
ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 3d.
Homer Carter, 16-year-old orphan
boy, is a prisoner in the Madison
County jail here because he tried
to emulate the exploits recited in
wild West" novels of which he
was a voracious reader. The boy
confessed that he drew rife on
Ora Vanness, farmer of near
Summitville, with whom the boy
had been making his home, in
order to force Vanness to write
him a check providing money for
a getaway.
Two wild and woolly" novels
were found on Carriers person
when arrested. He told officers
he intended to rob the bank at
Summitville single-handed., After
failing to coerce Vanness with the
rifle, Carter forged a check for
$40 and cashed it.

Financial Editor, Iron Trade Review
The United States Steel Corpora
ton, purchase of a block of whose
stock by the du Pont interests has
created flood of rumors and set
off an investigation by the Federal
Trade Commission, has been in ex-
istence just a little over a quarter
of a century.
1t h.N done gross business of
approximately $25, 000,O00,OO0 during
the twenty-six years of its corpo-
rate life. This sum is considerably
larger than the public debt of the
United States. 1t is more than the
combined values of the railroads of
the country, as tentatively fixed by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
During the same period the cor
poration has disbursed in dividends
to its stockholders about $1,000, 0OO,-
600 and has paid out in wages to
its employees approximately $6,00O,-
100000.
Tremendous Growth
When first formed twenty-six
years ago the corporation had fifty
subsidiaries and subsidiary organi-
cations, fifteen of them main SUBJ
salaries.
But today there are 100 subsidiary
and sub-subsidiary companies.
twenty-seven Of them being main
operating companies.
With its surplus of $553,500, 900
and its immense working capital of
$439,477 900, the wealth ard power
of the company stands unmatched
in all time.
BY avoiding extremes and keeping
its head in good times and in bad
ones, the corporation came under
the regime of the late chairman, E.
H. Gary, to be regarded as stabil-
izer of American industry. It's
policies have been marked by ex-
ceptional caution.
Welcome New Policy
Curiously enough, in this go-get-
ting age, the corporation has dis
played lack of aggressiveness. In
fact, it is this very lack OF agrees
siveness, the cornerstone of the cor
poration's policy, which leads many
stockholders to welcome the idea of
the infusion of some of the virile
and progressive du Pont blood into
the veins of the great steel. giant.
When the corporation was formed
twenty-six years ago, Ebert H.
Gary, Chicago corporation lawyer
of high attainment, was selected to
head the board of directors.
Until his death on Aug. Is, this
same man remained at the helm.
In fact it almost might be said that
he sat on the throne as a benev-
olent but absolute monarch, and
welded the most powerful industrial
scepter the world has ever known.
1t was Judge Gary who formulate
ed or finally approved all of the
major moves of the corporation. 1t
was his voice alone which inter-
preted the policies or explained the
acts OF the worlds biggest enter
prise.
An Industrial Gar
No single man of his time has
ever been the sole spokesman for
such vast enterprises as the more
than $2,0oO.OOo,OO0 worth of proper

ton. Probably none will ever do
so again. His successor is unlikely
to attempt it, but will find it ex-
oedient to delegate more authority,
During his lifetime the value of
the shares of the corporation ad-

1905, to a high point of 176 in 1926.

rected the dramatic fight OF the last
two weeks to save Sacco and Van
zetti, stole from the warden's office.
He had sat there for a dreadful
half hour, bowling his head and
weeping like a child.
Soon after, the bodies were
brought out and placed in an am
hulance.
Under heavy escort, the ambu-
lance moved to the city morgue,
where an autopsy had to be per-
formed before relatives could claim
the bodies
Warden Hendry, heavy-set
Scotchman, was pale as he sat in
the corridor before his Office after
the execution and told United
Press reporter what he had seen.
"Vanzetti shook hands with me
before he went" he said. HE has
a strong grip-as strong as mine"
Crowd Is Pushed Back
Father Murphy, prison chaplain,
had been with the warden when
the hour of summons to death ar
rived.
1--WE must bow to the inevitable"
Bartolomeo Vanzetti said when the
warden told him.
All of the doomed men refused
spiritual aid
Sacco was writing letter to his
father in Italy when the warden
arrived. He finished the letter and
asked the warden to see that it was
forwarded to his father. Warden
Hendry assured him that he would
attend to it.
Mrs. Rosa Sacco and Luigia Van
zetti, sister of Bartolorneo, called
at the prison for their third visit OF
the day. They spent but five min
utes.
AS the fatal hour neared the
army of guards pushed back the
listless crowd which had stood be-
fore the gates. The lines finally
we're drawn one to three blocks
from the prison.
Two hours after midnight the
quiet, deserted prison was strange,
contrasting scene to that of a few
hours before the execution, when
more than 500 men, armed with
pistols, rifles, bayonets and fire
hoses, virtually cut it off from the
outside world.
Prison Well Guarded
Men mounted on horses, others
on motorcycles patrolled the vi
cjnity.
Back of the death house, firemen
had stood with a high pressure hose,
ready to quench any flame that
might start from the overloaded,
high tension wires carrying death
into the prison, or to sweep back
with water any rush of Sacco-Van-
zetti sympathizers.
Three men with small machine
guns paced back and forth over the
roof Of the squat, sinister little
death house.
The last forlorn hope that the
lives of Sacco and Vanzetti might
again be spared had vanished late
in the evening.
Mrs. Rose Sacco, mother of Sac
cos two children, who collapsed
twelve days ago as she was about to
visit Governor Alvan T. Fuller in
quest of respite, steeled herself last
night and made a dramatic per-
sonal appeal to the executive.
Last Plea Is Refused
Accompanied by Miss Luigia
Vanzetti, who had come 1000 miles
from Italy to bid her brother good
by, Mrs. Sacco appeared before the
Governor in the executive chambers
at the Statehouse and begged for
mercy.
Governor Fuller listened to their
pleas and similar appeals from Will
liam G. Thompson, former chief de-
Tense counsel, and Gardner jackson

nlittee for nearly two hours.
II am sorry, but my duty is clear

solemnly at the end of the strange
session.

GRAIN RATE
HEARINGS
BE RESUMED
Shippers Will Have Opportun.
ity to CrOss-examine Rail
roads, Witnesses

Although the Interstate Commerce
Commission rejected proposals by
the carriers to increase North Da-
kota grain rates because of the gen.
eral investigation Of all freight rates
now in progress, it is probable that
the question Of grain rates will be
determined in advance of some other
problems presented by the general
investigation, according to Frank
Milhollan, chairman Of the North
Dakota railroad board.
The general investigation has been
divided into classifications on the
basis Of the material shipped. he
said, and grain and grain products
are in a separate classification from
other commodities.
The general hearing by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission will be
resumed at Kansas City in April and
additional hearings will be held at
st. Paul, Fargo and other points.
Opening testimony was heard last
month at Omaha but the shippers
were given no opportunity to cross
examine witnesses for the ra''rc"as.
Opportunity for cross-examinatiOn
will be given at Kansas City and the
shippers will be permitted to intro
duce testimony opposing the con-
tentions Of the carriers.
1t is possible, Milhollan said, that
the case of which the grain rates are
part, may not be decided for sew
eral years because of its great scope
and the huge volume Of testimony to
be taken and considered. BY separ-
ating the various items the Inter-
state Commerce Commission will be
able to dispose Of them more quickly,
he explained.
Adjustment Of tariffs on agricul-
tural products are being fought by
shippers of other materials, he said.
because of the fAct that a reduction
in agricultural rates will necessarily
mean an increase in the rates or
other commodities,
