 WITH REVERSES

Hartford, Conn. May 23.-(UP) Petitions calling for the repeal of the liquor control bill, which would take control out of the hands of the centralized control commission, were offered in the house to-day.

 Four petitions from as many towns were offered to-day and it was understood others were to follow.
 If the legislature acts fayorably on the petitions. and many poll tical observers believe 1t will. the effect will be to kill all the func- tions of the present liquor control commission, which began work early this month.
 The petitions were presented by Rep Michael J. Connor, of En- field; Rep Edwin B. Pratt, of Es- sex; Rep Chauncey D. Hutchings (Continued on Page 4.)

ESCAPEOF HARRY THAW RECALLED
 IN BOSTON CASE
It Was Cited To-day to Show That Judge Low- ell of Boston Had Made Error

Boston, May 2S.-(UP)-The rendition case of Harry Thaw, after his escape into New Hamp- shire from New York state. was cited today in an effort to show that Federal Judge James A. Lowell erred when he blocked the extradition to Virginia of George Crawford, 33. negro accused of a double murder. :.
 Judge Lowell recently ruled against the removal of Crawford to Virginia on the ground that negroes were not called for jury sevice in that state. The com monwealth of Massachusetts ap- pealed and today the U. S. circuit court of appeals, sitting in special session for the first time in five years. heard arguments. The case is almost certain to eventually reach the U. $. supreme court.
 In arguing the commonwealth's case. Assistant- Attorney General George B. Lourie cited the Thaw case ruling by Justice Oliver Wen dell Holmes of the supreme court, as follows:
 But this is not Thaw's trial. In extradition proceedings, even when as here a humane opportunity IS afforded upon habeas corpus the purpose of the writ is not to sub stitute the judgment of another tribunal upon the facts or the law of the matter to be tried"
