THE CAsEsOF FRANCISCO CARUso

Francesca Caruso will not die IN the electric chair
Il Sing Sing. At his second trial on a charge Of muir
dering DR.. Casper Pendola he has been permitted TO
plead guilty to manslaughter in the first degree. The
penalty under the New York law may be any number
of years not exceeding twenty.
Caruso's conviction at his first trial was followed
by an outburst Of protest against the infliction of the
death penalty. His lStle son was lying dead when he
killed Or. Pendola, who had attended the boy. Diph-
iberia was the cause Of death. The doctor had injected
~antitoxin and il was represented that in Carusos mind
this caused the death OF the boy. The crime was de-
Iscribed as committed when the father was in a frenzy
of grief. On the other hand. it was said that l-fAs

Beautifying the City

The Brownsville Civic League has announced its
eecond annual yard Identification contest, and will in
augurate this movement with a flower exchange Fl
the chamber Of commerce. beginning Monday, Feb. IL.
and lasting four days.
The exchange plan is an innovation in connection
with city Identification. Members Of the Civic League
committee will be in charge OF the exchange, and
Brownsville residents having a surplus Of plants or
shrubs are invited to bring them 10 the chamber of
commerce and receive other plants or shrubs in ex-
change. Thousands Of poinsettia cuttings are expect
ed to be collected and distributed
The contest last year proved very effective in
Identifying scores OF Brownsville yards and in provid-
ir the inspiration for additional Identification.
Thousands of plants and shrubs were set out. The
League expects TO make the 1928 contest more effect
i've, and will endeavor to enroll a large number Of
homeowners and tenants.
Such efforts as have already been directed toward
city Identification, have wrought great changes in
Brownsville. Fifteen years ago the city was little
more than a nondescript border town, with rutted
streets, Imprinted buildings, and few homes which
boosted lawns or other attempts at Identification.
Radical changes have been made in recent years. MANI
sections Of the city have been heautified. but the city
shows the lack Of organized effort and comprehensive
Identification plans.
The possibility for home and city Identification is
one Of Brcwnsville's greatest assets. an asset which
the city can capitalize If the interest Of all citizens

FIGHTING TOGS WORN BY COOL.
IDGE THESE DAYS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-President-
ial administrators frequently wind
up with a first class row going on,
between the White House and Cap
itol Hill.
This looks like one Of those times.
President Coolidge certainly isn't
going to get what he wants, from
a congress which acts as the 10th
IS acting now. He'll be lucky If he
doesn't rave a bunch of legislation
handed to him that he positively
can't stand. To be sure, he can veto
It. but that's just what he'll need
to do, to make IL an A-No. / row.
From the minute when the count
Of votes was finished, after the 1926
congressional elections, IL was evil
dent that the present senate was
cue to be no comfort TO Mr.. Cool
idge.
1t was a joke to speak Of II as
including 4s republicans out of its
total membership Of Demonstrating
that two of the IS are barred out
Of their seats, and that at least six
more are insurgents, Of a good deal
more irreconcilably anti-administra-
ton a type than a whole lot Of
democrats.
The house OF representatives look
ed safer but there's plenty Of Re-
publican insurgency there. too. AS
a body, il isn't as out-and-out anti
Coolidge es the senate il. but neith-
er is it "fer" him with any degree
Of dependability.
Among the bills which congress
seems more oil less likely to send
up to the White House in shapes
calculated to make the president grit
his teeth are:
In Coolidge's Opinion:
Tax reduction. Too dear a cut.
Farm relief. Uneconom,c.
Navy. Too many real ships; not
enough b~lueprirts.
Merchant marine. Too much gov
eminent operation.

 As a triple threat star, his work stood out in the Little Ten, the New York State Intercollegiate conference. He ended his career as an active college player in his home town of Syracuse. where he put up a brilliant performance. AL though Syracuse defeated Niagara 12 to T. he gave the Orange a busy afternoon keeping up with him. He was appointed back field coach and now will assume full charge.
 McKenney's advance to the title Of youngest football coach" was direct from the Boston College tackfield. where he served as cap tain in 1926, and joined Leo Daley as coach last year. This season he is going it alone. He was a year ahead of Heeker in college, but is not much older
 NAMES NOT ALWAYS
 WHAT THEY SOUND
 As Walter Hagen plays golf across the country there is a wrestler by the name of Hagen going to the mat with opponents at intervals. Babe Ruth has packed away his bats for the season, but two other Ruths, both Babes, too, will continue to ply their trade in the boxing ring. Gene Sarazen had horse named for him and another race horse by the name of Nurmi ran on tracks also, but against other sons instead of fleet footed humans, the opposition faced by the Finn for whom he was named. Not all great ath- letes have had their names adopted by others for professional pur- poses. There was only one Bill Wambsganss even after he made an unassisted triple play in a world series.

one Of the first things that devel-

marriage to Miss Mary Josephine

take place at Sorrento after all.
The wide publicity which dis
patches from Sorrento saying that

made the former champion feel il
would be quicker and quieter TO be
married in a small parish church in
. big city such a. Rome or Naples
instead Of az the romantic SPOT on
the famous Bay Of Naples.
Gene spent the morning with
Thomas L. Dniels, secretary Of 4he
American embassy here. trying to
strsiEhten out the red tape required
for q wedding on such short notice
and to obtain necessary church dis
pensations for his union with a
Protestant.
