 Each of tho petitioners will have the opportunity to tell why he thinks he should be freed to a board which had the right to commute . sentence or free outright. The states attor- ney. Hugh M. Alcorn, will argue for or against the prisoners.
 Of the group who now seek free- dom, 49 have been refused in pre- vious years.
 Innumerable reasons have been given by the petitioners. Applica- tions submitted to Vine R. Parme- lee, clerk of the board of pardons. ask for mercy. justice or flair play" Some say they have had sufficient punishment.
 Perhaps the most important case to be argued is that of Cowboy Joseph Ciannone and Michael Rug giero. sentenced in 1922 for the sec- ond degree murder of Enio Renal dino, New Britain bootlegger, at Pennington in 1920. The prisoners will be represented by William H. Lewis, widely-known Boston negro criminal lawyer. Alcorn will oppose the release.
 Since sentence was imposed. Dom- mick Craponese, star state witness has signed an affidavit in which he swears his testimony which convict ed the men was peEured. Chaponese claims he was forced to testify against his two friends. At the trial he testified he drove the automobile in which the two convicted men rode to kill Renaldino and that he witnessed the killing.

SITUATION RIVALS THAT
 AT RANKING A YEAR AGO
% Japanese Soldiers Killed and More Than 100 Chinese-Ctvilians Reported Mastered By Looting NatiOnalists - Foreigners Other Than Japs Not Believed MOlested Thus Far-Ftghting Resumed.

By the Associated Press
 Anti-foreign outbreaks at Tsinan- Flu, Shantung province, which may have surpassed in seriousness those at Ranking more than a year ago, have resulted in heavy casualties among Chinese and Japanese troops, dispatches from China and Japan indicated today.
 Death Toll Is Heavy.
 Tokyo dispatches say that as many as forty of their soldiers have been killed in fighting there, while Chinese dispatches to Shanghai give the Chinese dead from Japanese machine gun fire at 100 with large number of wounded.
 In Tokyo the situation Is regarded as most serious and four warships have been dispatched to Tsingtao. the coast terminus of the railroad to Tsinan. Other warships have been sent to Yangtse ports and other South China ports where Japanese nationals live to protect them there in the event the Tsinan trouble has
 
 Details Are Lacking.
 The trouble at Tsinan is said to have started following lesser anti Japanese outbreaks when Japanese troops attempted to disarm the Chinese. Scanty dispatches which filtered from the city did not indi- clte whether the Japanese troops. not known to number over 1000 at Tsna,. have taken an organized stand az ainst 10000 nationalist troops said to have invested the city, or have just encountered small or- ganized bands. That this latter may be the real case is indicated in con- tinued reports that the nationalist troops are out of control of their generalissimo, Chiang -shek, and have been guilty of extensive footing and other depredations in the city, which they took from the northern CTS only early this week.
 There have been no reports of demonstrations at Tstnan-Fu against foreigners other than Japanese since the death of the missionary, pr. Sey- mour. April Is.
 The situation at Tsinan held the Chinese news spotlight with the northern forces apparently attempt ing to form q new line of defense north of Shantung province and well into Chilli province.
 Fighting Resumed.

Fort Peck Indians might hook him with
a name that would occasion hilarity
among the flockmasters of Montana and
Murray's children giggle. So he is
in a %quandary.
Farming doesn't appeal to the Indians
like stockraising. Secretary Stebbins has
been informed. The Indian is willing to
work hard at something which doesn't
him too closely to the job. Ex-
during the lambing season, the In
dian children tend the fiocks. giving the
head of the family time to visit his
neighbors and occasionally make d trip
