MONTGOMERY, Ala, April g.
Seven colored youths under death SEN
tences for attacking two white girls
near Scottsboro were denied rehearings
by the Alabama Supreme Court today
and their hopes Of escaping execution
were narrowed down to two possible
avenues-interventio by Gov. Miller
or an appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court.
May 13 has been designated as the
date for their electrocution. That day
was set by the Supreme Court last
March Is In affirming the sentences,
and it was unaltered by today's decision.
Application for rehearings was made
by George Chamlee of Chattanooga, de-
fense attorney, the day the sentences
were affirmed. AT the time he announced
an appeal probably would be taken to
the United States Supreme Court in
event the petition was not granted.
No intimation has come from Gov.
Miller that he considers intervening.
The youths were convicted largely on
the evidence Of the girls, who testified
they were attacked aboard a freight
train while hoboing their way home
after vain search for work IN Chat
tanooga. They said number of white
boys accompanied them, but were
thrown OF the train by the colored
youths.
The youths under death sentence are
Ozie Powell, II, and Charlie Weems,
81, of Atlanta; Andy Wright. II, and
Haywood Patterson, ~, of Chattanooga :;
Olem Montgomery, II, Monroe, Ga, and

Report Charging Bad Faith to
Promoters Goes so Far
Some Repudiate It.
Hx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 9.-Public utility
regulation was pictured as having been
weakened by the e. i've tactics of
speculative promoters report made
public today by the Po4 " Committee of
a round-table conference of experts.
So vigorous was the language Of the
report that it precipitated fiutter OF
regulations from some Of the con-
ferees, who convened yesterday to dis
cuss liberal policy of public utility
regulation.
Prof. william z. Ripley of Harvard
University disclaimed any responsibility
for the report because 1t was "too
sweeping and indiscriminate in charg-
ing bad faith and corruption to opera
tors"
Amendment Inserted.
Members of State and Federal regu-
latory bodies inserted an amendment in
the report acquitting them Of any part
in it.
The report, which was not adopted
but merely received" said in part:
Regulation, as now generally ad-
ministered, has failed to protect invest
ors in public utility securities against
the loss Of billions of dollars resulting
from unsound methods of valuation and
financing. 1t has failed to secure for
the small consumer rate reductions cor
responding to the decline in prices and
wages or the technical trend toward
increased domestic use. 1t has failed
also to safeguard the credit of the COM
panies placed under its supervision and
control
Effective regulation of public utili-
ties has been progressively weakened as
q result of the definite policy of evasion
imposed upon the industry by pro-
moters who control public utilities in
the interest of speculative profits de-
rived from manipulation of their securi-
ties"
Washingtonians Dissent.
The amendment disclaiming respon-
sibility was offered by Milo r. Maltbie,
chairman Of the New York State Public
Service Commission, and coneurred in
by David z. Lilienthal of the Wisconsin
Commission and his chief economist,
E. w. Morehouse; Frank r. McNinch of
the Federal Power Commission, Fred
erick P Gutenberg of the Pennsylvania
Commission, Gen. Mason r. Patrick
and William A. Roberts of the District
of Columbia Utilities Commission.
The report was written by Frank P.
Walsh, chairman of the New York State
power authority and head Of the Policy
Committee.
