Finally an order was hurried to

delay and much activity only
one place at Phoenix was found .
that could furnish enough .
amonia to prepare the life-tak-

a few hours before the time set .
for Sullivan's execution.
If the amonia had not been
procured the legal time for
Sullivan's execution would have

that would have given him at

Senator Ellington said the ex-
penditure under the Green'~Gy rural
identification bill does not call for
the erection of power plant, but
simply has to do with the extension
of power lines to the homes of the
residents in the district, the power
to be purchased from the plant now
maintained by the San Carlos ir-
rigation and drainage district at a
price that will make it economy for
all to use, to say nothing of the
greater conveniences it will af-
ford the users for both domestic
and agricultural uses.
Coolidge, now holding the envi-
able position of being the fastest
growing town in the southwest, will
be greatly benefited by the ex-
tension of electricity to the home
owners in the Casa Grande valley,
and it is not over-stating the
potential growth of Coolidge to pre-
dict that it's present population of
1900 will be doubled in the course
of the next three years.
Eleven years ago the site upon
which Coolidge is situated was just
plain desert, with cactus, grease
wood and Gila monsters being its
three principal assets. Today Cooli-
dge is almost as large as Florence,
but little smaller than Casa Grapde.
Florence is the seat of government
for Pinal County and both Florence
and Casa Grande are among the
oldest towns in Arizona. There is
no particular rivalry existing be-
tween the three towns. Coolidge,
being situated almost in the geo
graphical center of the San Carlos
irrigation and drainage district,
surrounded by thousands of acres
of fertile soil that produce both
long and short staple cotton and
the finest alfalfa hay, is simply ilv-
ing up to it's Environments and Is
supplying a convenient and advanta-
eous trading point for the people IN
the district.
Ask almost any authority on the
growth of this nation What mater
ial thing has contributed most to
making American living conditions
the highest in the world" and nine
times out ten the answer will be
abundant and economical electric
power and light" Of course IN
many instances, but not so much to-
day as yesterday, the high cost of
electricity made it prohibitive to
many, but with the "yardstick
that is being furnished by the
national government, it is going to
be possible for practically every
citizen to use and enjoy electricity
at a price they can we'll efford to

duced in Congress by Representative Isabella Greenway

Senator Ellington stated that plan has been devised

at least delay the project.
According to Senator Ellington the rural electrifca-

.FRITCHIE HOME
ATTRACTS

Each year thousands Of visitors
from all parts Of the world come
to Frederick to visit the little
house on West Patrick Street CU.
S. Route 400 from whose attic
window a frail old lady, Barbara
Fritchie, shouted defiance to the
Confederate Army as it passed by.
Barbara Fritchie was a devout
Union synlrathizer and from the
beginning Of the war to her death
constantly displayed the Union
flag from her attic window. De-
spite warnings to remove it upon
approach OF the men in gray, she
never took the flag down.
It was in the late summer of
1862 that Stonewall Jackson and
his army occupied Frederick.
They passed by the house and

Gated that between 10000 and
10000 automobiles are coming
into Atlantic City every Saturday.
This will undoubtedly increase ire
mendously as the weather grows
warmer.
From Thomas HusSelton, secre-
tary Of the Chamber Of Commerce,
comes the information that dur
ing the first five months of this
year there were 948 requests for
hotel information as against
slightly more than 600 during the
same period in 1885. These figures
have increased steadily since about
1888.
Alvin Hunsicker, of the Tray
more Hotel, speaking as president
Of the Atlantic City Hotelmen's
Association, states that while he
is not prepared to offer definite
figures, he is certain that the
spring business was far ahead Of
last year. He, too, feels that this
is indicative Of a banner summer
for the resort.

ATLANTIC CITY
SEES BOOM
SEASON

ATLANTIC CTTY.-Basing its be-
lief on the great volume Of spring
business already enjoyed, ATLANTIC
City is anticipating by far its
greatest summer season since 1929
and has high hopes that even this
peak year may be surpassed.
Comemnting on the coming sea-
son, Mayor Charles D. White yes
terday stated:
"T have completed q personal
survey Of business conditions In
our. resort during the past three
months and / sincerely feel that
we are going to have the great
est summer since the crash Of
the stock market. In addition
1 would not be At all surprised
to see the number Of visitors
come very close to If not equal
the peak year Of 1929"
Cottage Rentals Rise
Cottage and apartment rentals
for the summer season are also in
advance Of last year, according to
William Emley, president Of the
Atlantic City Real Estate Board,
who states:
"The requests for information
and the number Of deals con-
summated are running ahead Of
last year. Also, what pleaSes us
considerably is th0 fact that
many Of these persons are new
to us or are persons who have
not rented cottages here since
1929. believe that the major
ity Of the members Of our or
ganization have had similar ex-
periences."
Charles Osman, district paSsen-
ger agent for the Pennsylvania
Reading SeaShore lines, announces
that the railroad traffic into At
lantic City during May was
heavier than during the same
period in any year in the city's
history. Mr.. Osman did not make
public the exact figures but his
statement was significant when it
is considered that the total was
arrived at before the reduced rail-
road rates went into effect and
the reduction was not responsible
for the jump in figures. Reduced
rates should bring even greater
totals.

road traffic in any way mean that
more people are riding trains in
stead Of automobiles. A recent

COUNSEL SEEKING
 TIME EXTENSION
Dr.. PetrOceIIi Faces Sec Ond Charge in Superior
 Court Tuesday

Formal application for an cxten- sion of time till June 24th to submit an appeal to the state supreme court of errors on behalf of pr. Gerardo c. Petrocelli was filed in superior court today by Attorney Edward Mascolo, chief of defense counsel The application was approved by Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, who prosecuted Dr. Petrocelli in the trial last month which ended in his being found guilty of a irianslaughter charge by jury.
 pr. Petrocelli Is now free on bonds of $l0,000, pending the appeal. He was sentenced to Q term of three to five years at state prison by Judge Earnest 0. Simpson.
 In the application today, it .s claimed that defense counsel needs more time to investigate the record before filing the appeal with the states highest tribunal. The superior court jury last month found pr. Pe- trocelli guilty of .manslaughter in the death of Mary Silva of Avon last June. The girl died after an illegal operation.
 Meantime. pr. Petroceli will be arraigned in superior court next Tuesday afternoon at the opening of the June criminal term on a sec- ond count of manslaughter, in con- nection with the death of Jennie PilesN of Collinsvivlle last fall. An alleged illegal operation is again charged.

Six Arrested Here
 As ''State Paupers"
Four COIOred Men and Two Women Held By Police to
 Be Sent Back to North Carolina Soon

Six colored persons, including two women, were arrested late this morning by local police at the re- quest of state authorities and are held at police headquarters from where they will be sent back to North Carolina, apparently because they have no means of support in Connecticut. They were booked on the police blotter as 'state paupers" according to Lieutenant John Dunphy, desk oficer.
 While police authorities were un- able to supply details, it is believed the arrest of the six signalizes the beginning of Q drive by the state to send back to the communities responsible for them, all persons who cannot establish legal claim to relief. For some time past, var ious municipalities have been en- gagged in settling differences arising from similar situation but as far as could be learned this is the first occasion in which the state has moved for the exclusion of such persons.
 The six gave their names as fol- lows: Rosella Perry, 19, 65 Abbott avenue, Thomas Savage, 65, Cor nelius Perry, p, Lucy Hill Savage, 43, Benjamin Savage, 21 and Leon- ard Band, 21, all of the same ad- dress. All are from Scotland Neck, North Carolina. The request for police was made bya state official whose name could not be learned and tlie arrests were made by De- tective William Foley and Patrol man Patrick Moylan.
