 He commented that the business was like the legendary dragon, "The more you cut their teeth out the more they spring up" No ExtenuatlOns
 He said that there were no ex- tenuating circumstances in the Lev- enthal case, as he remarked on the statewide qualifications of the trade.
 T think that the recommenda- tons of the states attorney are req sonable," he stated,
 Tn passing sentence on the other cases, he said: I can't distinguish from the first.
 Tn spite of the inclement weather, the court room was crowded, just as 1t was at the arraignment yes- terday, when the pleas of guilty were filed.
 When Leventhal received his heavy fine and sentence, the crowd gave vent to an audible whisper which was followed by Q sudden hush of expectancy. After the sem tences were imposed on the alleged kingpins, the sentences were meted out with greater rapididty.

 For the Republican gubernatorial nomination = saltonstall, 3le,43i; McMasters, 47,ei2; Whitconb, 46,- 326; Butler, N,i49.
 Incomplete returns indicated that oil ib members of the Massachusetts congressional delegation-i0 Repub- licans and i've Democrats-were re- nominated by their respective parties. Six of the Republicans and two of the Democrats were unop. posed. No .. 6. senate seat was ct stake.
 The decisive defeat of Hurley, who was seeking c traditional sec- ond term, came as c stunning sur. prise. It was believed the first time in Massachusetts long history that . governor was refused Q second nomination.
 No New Deal Interest
 Though in past years Curley has styled himself "the original Rooses veit man of Massachusetts," the contest was in no sense . test of New Deal prestige. So little ifi- terested was the Democratic high command, in fact, that when Na- tional Chairman James A. Farley telephoned a Boston newspaper from Washington last night, 1t was not to inquire the standing of the Cur- iey-Huriey fight, but to learn the fate of 6 Republican candidate. what Farley wished to know was

what luck McMasters was having as the only Townsendite seeking the c. o. P. gubernatorial nomination. It developed that McMasterB, in sec- ond place but far behind, already had conceded salstonstall's nonina- ton.
 Only Fighting Chance
 Beaten for U. 6. senator by 36 year old Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr, (R) in ie3e; beaten by another 36 year old, Maurice ]. Tobin (D) in lest years Boston niayoral election, Curley had been given only 6 fight- ing chance in yesterdays primary. All three of his rivals were many years his junior, and observers felt that the veteran campaigner once more would be beaten back by the jinx of youth.
 But Curiey cut deeply into the town and country vote on which Hurley depended, made his usual strong showing in most of the cities, and sent his vote skyrocketing by carrying his traditional stronghold of Boston with an estimated plu- rality Of 5000.
 Almost equally surprising was galstonstall's landslide victory. Few had doubted that he would win the nomination, but his overwhelming margin in every section of the state upset predictions.

NOOubA0uCQ HUH EAHO " tested the conduct of the election and said he might demand Q re- count in ct least four precincts.
 He had continued to assail the New Deal until his final statement delivered in front of Q polling booth after he had voted.
 "This is the ninth inning of the purge battle" he said then "The primary in this district is e test whether the next congress shall have a representative government for this country or whether outside sources shall dictate the kind of government the United States shall have"
 O'COnnor Revolt
 His revolt against the New Deal cropped out during the fight over the governmental reorganization bill in the last congress. He used his committee chairmanship to di- rect the successful drive against the bill. He also bottled the wages and hours bill in committee, until 1t was forced out. His entrance in the Re- publican primary split that party in his district The regular county leaders opposed him and entered Dulles in the race after Q strong Republican faction including Col. Theodore Roosevelt, had decided that O'Connor would better repre- sent them than a candidate of their own party. Other Republicans and the county leaders, headed by Ken- meth Simpson, said they could never support Tammany Democrat.
 Tammany, the offlcial Democratic party in New York county, was al- most solidly behind O'Connor, but there were reports that some dis trict leaders had "knifed" him se- cretly.
 Fay closed his campaign by charging that O'Connor had said that President Roosevelt would be willing to plunge the United States into war to get himself reelected"
 Accusing Treason
 "This," Fay said, "is equivalent to accusing the president of treason. But this kind of wildness is not new to O'Connor."
 Fay's campaign manager, Major William J. Walsh, said that flake" circulars had been sent throughout the district at the last moment, en. dorsing Fay and purporting to come from the Communist party and the Works Progress Association"
 SWeash denounced the circulars. Henry Forbes, executive secretary of the Communist party, said the par. tvs name had been used fraudu. lently and he had complained to the district attorney.

Garibaldi Paved Way for
Union of Sicily, Italy

Recorded history of the island Of
Sicily, which Is the largest in the
Mediterranean sea, begins with the
establishment Of the Greek city Of
Naxos in 735 B. G. This, with other
Greek colonies established In the
course of the following two centuries,
became the center of thriving COM
merce. From the year 5S6 B. G. until
the period of the Punic wars, Greeks
and Carthaginians cOntended for mas
terry in the island, notes a writer in
the Indianapolis News. In 210 B. c.,
Sicily became the first of the Roman
provinces.
During the Middle Ages, Goths,
Byzantines and Saracens in succession
held sway. At length, in 1000, the
Normans made conquest of the land,
and Roger II became king Of Sicily in
1130. From the close of the Thirteenth
century until the Treaty Of Utrecht in
1713, Sicily was ruled by princes Of
AragOn and by the Spanish crown. In
1874, under Don Carlos, the kingdom
Of the Two Sicilies arose, uniting
Naples and Sicily under a Bourbon
dynasty, Garlbaldi's bold expedition
In 1860 opened the way for the union
of Sicily with the kingdom Of Italy in
1861.

Maybe, Handsome Bird,
Is Native of Mountains

The body Of the magpie is about
the size of that of a crow 'blackbird,
but the long tail adds eight to ten
inches, so that the total length is from
Is to 20 inches. Its colors present a
strong contrast. The head, neck,
breast, back and thighs are deep
black, the top of the head green
CLOSED; wings and tail glossy, with
violet and other metallic reflections |;
shoulders Of the wings and under parts
pure white.
This striking and handsome bird,
says a writer in the Montreal Herald,
is seen everywhere from the Plains to
the Pacific coast, from the borders Of
Mexico to northern Alaska, and 1t
breeds wherever 1t lives, not being
migratory, though wandering about in
winter in small troops, which keep In
the shelter of timber for the most part.
It's original and proper place Is in the
mountains, where 1t makes its home in
wooded valleys. AS the Plains be-
came more settled and cultivated 1t
wandered farther and farther from the
hills and some years ago began to be
seen In Manitoba, where now it Is q
permanent resident.
