that he had done nothing but ref cree the bout
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods asked Tor q conviction against the two Nisks and Leganza, saying that they had no right to take the law into thelr hands and administer such q
 beating 10 kukish. He said he was convinced that q bottle was wielded in the melee. Judge Mangan re-
 piled that the prosecuting attorney always indulgas in the use Of super- latlves when he has no case and realizes that he has none. In this case there was no question but "Nhitey' WisR had committed an as- sault, as he had no right to use his fists on kuhish, mbut under the cir cums'anccs great many men would have fought sooner than Wisk had done, kukish tantalized Wisk and sought a fight, Judge Mangan said, and when he obtained more than he had bargained for. he did as many others Of his type have done, namely, run to the police.
 Judge SaNe suspended Judgment Tn the cases of Walter Wisk and Frank Leeanza. but warned them to be careful in the future. He said he was convinced that q bottle had been used on kukish but he could not determine who had used it. In his opinion, kukish had not done all in his power 10 avoid trouble. but "Whitev' Wisk seemed altogether too desirous of satisfying kukish's thirst for a beating.

BEANS, C0DfISn OR
 SHOES SUGGESTED
Mass. Officials Discuss 1928 ka.
 t0mObile Markers

Boston. March 26 R-The rela-
 tive merits of codfsh, beans and shoes as emblems Of Massachusetts suitable for reproduction on auto moplie number plates were earnest iS discussed al hearing before the committee on rules Of the state mouse Of representative today. The 1928 plates bear representa- 'ioh or a tlnless fish supposed to rep- resent a cod. Some critics have termed It minnow. Before his re- cent dismissal from office as regis ! lfar Of motor vehicles, Frank A NoodWln had a new design, with fins drawn for next years places. His successor. George A. Parker, an- ilouhced that this design would ap- pear on the 1928 commercial car plates which already had been manufactured, but would be omitted from the pleasure car plates.
 Representative Martha N. Brooks or gloucester, supporting her peti- 'on that the cod appear on the piates in all future years, pointed 10 the wooden cod which has hung on the wall of the house chamber since 17S4.
 senator Nicholson of Wareham repudiated d charge that he favored the clam for reproduction on the plates and endorsed the cod,
 Registrar Parker said he opposed anything on the plates except infor- nation Of value to the police.
 Representative George P. Ander son oi Boston urged his bill to have the bean pot replace the cod. He said the bean had been interwoven with the history of the state and in loiS the general court passed an order that Indian beans, white for election and black for rejection. should be used in election ot assis- tants.
 Beans, he added. ''are the em- Diem Of democracy, eaten Saturday nights by the poor and the rich"
 Whitfield Tuck of Winchester in terposed that the beans used now adays in Massachusetts were not raised in this state.
 Representative Frank w. Osborne ot Lynn argued in behalf of his pe utlon for picture of a boot or shoe on the plates that the first shoe equipment for Ameri- ca came overseas on the third yov- age of the Mayfower.

UNEMPLOYMENT IS
 ACTUALLY PRESENT
But Not As Serious As Reported,
 Says Davis

Washington, March o6 tP,-Secre- tary Davis Of the labor department reported today to the senate that unemployment is serious" although
 not so extensive or grave as the es- inmates which have been generally circulated
 Prompt rolief' for those tem- porarlly out Of work was promised by the secretary through the federal public buildings program which is now being begun and Mr. Davis sees further aid in state and munich pal building projects.
 MT, Davis, who personally brought the cry of the report compiled by the department 10 Vice President Dawes. named as the factors con- trlbutlns to the unemployment: The Hoods In the Mississippi valley and Ill New England; the Florida tor nado the temporary closing of in dustrial plants and a disturbance" Tn the bnuminous coal fields which has lasted for several months.
 Washington. March o6 UP)-A partial survey of unemployment by the labor department indicates there are 1,S74,o50 fewer persons em- ployed now than in 1925, Secretary of Labor Davis reported to the sen ate today in response to the Wagner resolution directing a survey.
 Davis said it would be impossible without large expense 10 make a full survey of unemployment. as the senate resolution demanded. He formed his estimate solely by com pairing industrial activity now with that of 1925.
 There is 74S per cent shrinkage in activities in manufacturing, trans portation. mining, agriculture and trade, Davis said. Therefore, as there were 25,22a, ,T42 persons employed in 1925, he deduCes that there are only 2S,34S,692 now employed.
