CITIZENS GROUP
WANTS COOLIDGE
TOBARE FRAMEUP
President Urged to Act
for SaccO and Vanzetti

Calling upon the officials of all
trade unions to telegraph President
Coolidge in behalf of Sacco and Van
zetti, the Citizens National Commit
tee for Sacco and Vanzetti requests
them to demand the opening of the
files of the. department of justice
which contain information bearing on
the frame-up of the two innocent
prisoners.
The committees report states:
THAT the department of justice
is deeply involved.
2.-That Attorney General Sargent,
according to press reports, offered to
place the files at the disposal of Gov
ernor Fuller.
3.-That Governor Fuller failed to
inspect the files and to interview de-
partment of justice agents and other
witnesses regarding the relation of
the department of justice to the case.
4.-That the courts may fail to
stay the execution.
And in view of these facts urges
that President Coolidge intervene as
Wilson did in the case of Mooney.
The Citizens National Committee,
condemning any act of violence for or
against Sacco and Vanzetti, has is
sued the following statement concern
ing the bombing of Lewis McHardy,
one of the Sacco and Vanzetti jurors:
"Any wild act of any mailman,
whether the insane purpose is to dis
credit or to help Sacco and Vanzetti,
will be attributed to sympathizers
with their cause, although it is OBJ
vious that nothing could be calculated
to do more harm to their case than
an outrage Of this kind.
"If the effect on the case is any
evidence of the source of this das-
tardly bombing, it is more likely the
work of enemies than of friends.
Every decent citizen joins in the hope
that the criminals will be apprehend-
ed, and none more so than those who
feel that the execution of Sacco and
Vanzetti will be a lasting disgrace
to the Commonwealth of Massachu-
sets"
The Citizens National Committee
for Sacco and Vanzetti which is be-
ing organized to secure federal inter-
vention because of the charges against
the department of justice, includes in
its membership the following prom
inent men and women of the coun-
try:
David Starr Jordan, Alexander
Meikeljohn, Robert Morris Lovett, John
S. Goldman, Glenn Frank, Oswald Gar
rison Willard, Fannie Hurst, Felix Adj

Civil Liberties Union
Forces Police to Allow
SaccO-VanZetti Meeting

Permission for a Sacco-V anzetti
defense meeting to take place in a
private hall in Boston, which had
hitherto been refused by the police
department, has been obtained thru
the intervention of the American Civil
Liberties Union.
Refusal of the owner of Scenic
Temple, u Berkeley street, to rent
the hall to the Sacco-Vanzetti De-
Tense Committee, because of an
anonymous telephone call warning
him not to do so, led to an appeal by
the committee to the Civil Liberties
Union. The owner was afraid to
rent the hall, he said, because he be-
lieved the anonymous message had
come from the police department.
John S, Goldman, Boston represen-
tative of the Union, appealed to Po-
lice Superintendent Crowley. Mr..
Crowley then announced that there
was no reason for police interference
with meeting in private hall. The
owner of Scenic Temple, after being
treasured by telephone conversa-
ton with Mr. Crowley, agreed to rent
the hall for Thursday afternoon and
evening.
The Civil Liberties Union had pre-
viously appealed to Mayor NJ E.
Nichols of Boston to uphold the
rights of free speech and assemblage
so utterly disregarded by Superinten-
dent Crowley in his attacks on Sac
co-Vanzetti sympathizers"

STATE SUPREME COURT DECISION
READY IN SACCO-vANzETTI CASE

The full bench decision was on ex-
ceptions to denial of motions for a
new trial and a revocation of sem
tence by trial Judge Thayer and de-
NAL of a motion for a writ of error
by Supreme Court Judge George A.
Sanderson.
1t was reliably reported at the
court house that the decision was
about one thousand words in length.
Defense Appeal for New Writ
BOSTON, Aug. is. - While indi-
cations are that the decision of the
state supreme court in the Sacco and
Vanzetti case will be delayed until
the last possible moment, the defense
is now making ready to lay hurried
appeal before the federal courts in
event that their pleas are rejected by
the Massachusetts supreme justices.
Last Minute Appeals.
1t is probable that at the last mo-
ment the defense will again make an
appeal to Governor Fuller and the
executive council for a reprieve pend
ing action on the petition filed with
the Supreme Court which can not be
acted upon until October. The gov
ernor and the council, however, are
to be determined that the
favorable moment has arrived for the
execution of the two doomed men,
One of the higher prison officials on
hearing of the complicated legal
moves of the defense is reported to
have ventured the opinion that the
next Monday midnight will
be "droll"
In order to be prepared for any ac-
ton on the part of the Massachusetts,
supreme court and the state executive
and council, Arthur D. Hill, who
pleaded the case of the defense before
the supreme court, has filed a petition
for writ of certiorari in the United
States Supreme court. Mr.. Hill is ex-
pected to ask Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes for the writ of certiorari de-
spite the fact that Holmes last week
refused to grant the defense a writ
of habeas corpus.
A writ of certiorari would bring
the whole case for review before the
United States Supreme court and it
would then lie in the discretion of the
court whether or not it would hear the
case on appeal.

decision, it has been learned from au-

remained undefeated in the east this

soon as possible after gradus ton.

There's always this matter of Sec
tional pride to be considered in any
'intcrsectional football game, cspe-
cially the Tournament Of Roses at
fair in which Pittsburgh, of the cast,
and Stanford, of the west, will clash
on Jan. 2.
That is to say, outside of winning
for dear old Pittsburgh and dear old
Stanford, as it happens to be this
year, the entries usually become inn
bued with a wild desire to win for
all those fans east of the Mississippi
river and all those farther west, re-
spectively.
Now Pittsburgh, standard bearer
Of eastern football, finds itself with
a great reputation to uphold in this
coming game because of the satisfy
ing results Ito the fans east Of the
big stream) that have been marked
against the westerners in the past
five years.
No western entry in the Tourna-
ment of Roses game has been able
to win since 1923. Then Southern

die Casey, George Wilson, Johnny
Mack Brown, Harry Wilson and
many others.
And after a proper amount of SER
ious reflection, it dawned on Mr..
WEIGH that Jan. 2 would be q good
day to inscribe his name in big red
letters among those greats. Not
that he isn't great, mind you, for
he was chosen almost unanimously
for All-America this year, but
merely because-well, because.
Don't think for one moment that
Mr.. WEIGH is. all that Pittsburgh has
to depend on in this Tournament of
Roses game. Names you'll hear a lot
Of that day include Hagan, Booth,
Parkinson, Wasmuth, Cutler, Dom
chess! And the Pitt line is q great
line, from end to end.
The Panthcrs will likely enter the
game slight favorite to win if they
don't allow too many bugaboo stor-
les to worry them, but they're going
to have no easy time carrying the
colors Of the east, and maintaining
the prestige that is now that of the
east, in this Tournament of Roses
