TUFT DECLINES TO
RECEIVE PETIIION
Chief Justice of the U. S.
Supreme Court Says He
Has No Jurisdiction In
The Case.
Boston, Aug. 22.—OP)—Michael A.
A. Mussmano, of the Sacco-Vanzetti
defense counsel, announced today that
Chief Justice Taft had sent him a
telegram in which he announced his
refusal to receive'a petition f° r stay
of execution because the matter is
outside his jurisdiction. ■
Mussmano withheld the text of the
Chief Justice’s telegram, but added
that Mr. Taft advised him to go before
one of the three Supreme Court jus
tices now in this district if he Vished
action on such a petition. The defense
attorney has appealed in vain to Jus
tices Holmes and Brandeils, and today
Attorney Arthur D. Hill was on his
way to place a petition for a stay be
fore Justice F. .Stone, at, Isle au Haut,
Maine.
The hopes of defense counsel after
the word was received from Chief
Justice Taft, rested on the application
to Justice Stone, the action' of Judge
Sisk, the decision of Governor Fuller
on petition for stay of execution, and
possible action by President Coolidge.
Governor Fuller came from his
summer home at Bye Beach, N. 11.,
this morning, reaching the state house
at 10:40 a. m.
Some time before his arrival a visit
was paid to the executive offices at
the state house by Waldo L. Cook,
editor of the Springfield Republican;
John F. Morrs, a Boston attorney ;
and Rev. Edward S. Brown of the
Episcopal Theological School, Cam
bridge. They told the Governor's
secretary, Herman A. McDonald, that
they had come to lay before the Gov
ernor a petition for commutation of
the sentences of SacCo and Vanzetti to
life imprisonment, or a stay of execu
tion.
New Hampshire For Hoover.
Concord, N. H., Aug. 22. —New
Hampshire being the first State to
hold a presidential primary next year,
an effort will H#» made by friends of
Herbert Hoover to elect a solid dele
gation pledged to the present Secretry
of Commerce for the Republican presi
dential nomination. Governor Hunt
ley N. Spaulding has already come
out in favor of a Hoover delegation,
and United States Senator Moses is
expected to favor Mr. Hoover.
Mr. Hoover has accepted an invita
tion to come to New Hampshire early
next month -and the boom will prob
ably be launched at that time. He will
jgpeak with Col. Theodore Roosevelt
at the New England Sportsmen’s
Convention at Peterborough.
While some New Hampshire Repub
lican leaders are inclined to believe
that President Coolidge will be re
nominated notwithstanding his de
clination, it is expected that these
will shift their support to Mr. Hoover
if it becomes apparent that Mr. Cool
idge is not to be drafted for the nomi
nation.

others in the spectator section. A
black silk dress and a big white choker
which hid the lower part of her face,
completed her garb.

The Gleaning Bell.
London, Aug. 22. —Ln many parts
of rural England, during the next
few weeks, on* may ‘hear a church
bell rung morning and evening- at,
times when no services are being
held. This is the “gleaning bell,”
which was once sounded in practical
ly all villages and hamlets through
the countryside at 9 a. in.,' and 5
p. m., as soon as the harvest was
sufficiently advanced, to tell the
villagers when they might begiv
'leaning and when they must cease-
The custom still lingers, even
though the modern farm machinery
Daves less wheat to be gleaned than
did the old hand-rake. Indeed, the
high price of bread; in comparison
with w-hat it was before the war.
has led to a revival of gleaning. In
accordance with the old custom,
wherever the gleaning bell is rung,
a penny for the whole .period is
.paid to the bell-rings* by each family
in the parish that goes gleaning.

sister, Mrs. A. J. Bedenbough, who
lives here, disclosed today.
The plane was built at Columbia,
S. C., and engined with a motor ob
tained from government planes dii*
mantled at Camp Jackson.
‘When he was a senior in high
school, Paul built a substantial air
plane which he used frequently until

one,” said Bedenbough, who
often lias flown with her brother
“Yes, Paul built it himself. He “Work

Before building the plane. Redferr..
his sister said, built gliders. After
exhausting his energies on this more
or less tame type of machine, she
said, he turned to building area

Mrs. Bedenbough apparently has
,no fear that her brother will fail in
his attempt to fly to South America.
She freely discusses his contemplate! 1

BOTH SIDES FIRM
IN TEXTILE STRIKE
No Sign of Agreement Between Clash
ing Interests at Henderson.
Henderson, Aug. 20. —“Nothing
nfw” describes the strike situation
today in connection with the walkout
on August 4 of operatives of the Har
riet Cotton Mills, which today was in
its fifteenth day without any agree
ment or sign ’of an agreement be
tween the workers and the mill own
ers.
Today was being observed at both
the Harriet Mills at South Henderson
and the Henderson mills at North
Henderson as the usual Saturday holi
day, the 55-hour week at the rai'ls
being made in five work days of 11
hours each, with a full holiday on
Saturdays.
Spokesman for the strikers reiterat
ed that they knew nothing of the
explosion Friday morning which dam
aged the residence of M. E. Partin,
one of the strikers, at South Hender
son, and disclaimed all blame for it
and all connection with it. The in
cident generally was discounted today,
and no particular signficance was at
tached to it. It was said by a spokes
man for the striker that explosions
of a minor nature, or one kind or
another, are not infrequent in the vil
lage, and are merely mischievous
pranbk. Friday’s incident ip looked
upon as a mere matter of attempted
intimidation of the strikers who had
gone back to their work.

FOOTBALL FANS WILL
GET DIFFERENT STYLE
Greatest Change in Game Is Expected
to Be Centered on Forward Pass.
Atlanta, Aug. 22.—Fans journeying
to various football stadia this autumn
may expect several surprises, notably
where the pass is concerned, in the
opinion of critics and many Southern
conference coaches. They may expect
to see the turning loose of lateral,
forward and backward passes often,
when in the past they saw these plays
cautiously used, many times under
screen:
In -ft iqt, it is to be expected, one
conference conch has said, to see a
player throwing the ball from various
ingles, often after he has raced far
iown the field. Others concur in this
opinion.
these changes are all due to the re
vision in rules by the national asso
ciation.
Under the new passing rules, a
player can pass the ball anywhere on
ihe field without fear of penalty other
l han yardage lost in a backward pass,
should the man to whom the pass is
lirected miss or fumble it. Then the
ball would onfy be “dead,” and nbt
>pen to- a free-for-all scramble for its
possession after it' has been caught and
lropped as heretofore was the ca3e.
Os course, the coach sees the ever
present fear of interceptance of for
ward or lateral passes but the back
ward* pass is not so likely to be lost
in this manner.
Coaches point out that it is not
necessary for a player to be behind
the line of scrimmage to make any
>f the three type of passes and never
■vas been, althought formerly it has
' een little used, because of the fear
of losing the ball in a scramble should
l player receive and drop it.
Aside from the passing feature,
however, there arises in the mind of
ollowers of many teams the prospect
of a return for some to the (lays of
“when men were men” on the grid
i‘ou. This eofnes with the prospect of
.aim*ruufl powerful fine? in the South
■rii conference ready for the opening
of the 1927 season.
In fact, Louisiana State university,
University of Tennessee, University of
'Bahama, University of Virginia and
mssibly Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech,
Virginia Poly and Ole Miss. All have
;he “makings” for strong lines ready
to report for duty September 5.
With such a set of forwards at
many institutions, observers believe
it problematical that many coaches
will direct their attack over their
•enters, guards and tackles. Especially
s this to be expected in some of the
institutions where the passing game is
tot overly developed anjl where yard
age is needed on second and third
dowps.
Those watching Alabama's Crimson
Tide forsee many backs speeding to
ward tackle and guard position in at
ehpting gains. With Pickard, all
\american tackle nominee by many
ast year, filling in at one tackle and
Ingler, all-southern nominee of many
at the other, the Crimson is expected
; o be among the strongest in Dixie on
the line.
University of Tennessee will also
bare a goodly number of strong men
to run plays over, a/nong them being
Barnhill, captain-elect and all-south
ern player. Cardwell, of Virginia, and
Tips, of Washington and Lee, . are
other linemen expected to find traffic
heavy their way.
Georgia Tech with Drennen, Crow
ley and Hood, veterans of the forward
wall returning may make Tech’s line
hard to penetrate and at the same time
’How gaps for the tornado to blow
through.
for Louisiana State, the entire
line is expected to be strong, accord
ing to prognosticators of the game. An
old adage that a “chain is no stronger
than its weakest link” seems to fit here
amUshould not bother the Tigers. A
Well balanced line will give the Dona
hue backs many spots to hit. Mike
Donahue, coach of the Tigers, has
long been known as a tutor delighting
in line crushing tactics and this is the
first season in many years that he has
had apportunity to try his onqg mas
terful method with favorable resulits
to be expected. v
Die Miss, with Applewhite, a strong
end, and other sturdy forwards, as
well as Mississippi A. and M., may
center their attack to a certain ex
tent over the line. Likewise, Vande
rbilt is one of those pointed to by Gold
and Black followers, as coming up
with a “strong front.”
Nuiversity of Maryland, losing only
Stevens, a star backfield ‘ man, and
others players, is another conference
teatn, coaches say will have to be
watched.
Brother shoots Brother Over a Ceme
tery Fence.
Jefferson, Aug. 21. —A report from
the Piney Creek section of the county

Robert Parsons shot his brother Jesse
Parson, the shooting taking place at a
result of a controversy over where the
fence to the family-cemetery shoud be
placed. One of the brothers wanted
the cemetery fence Ipcated at one
place and the other at another place,
and as a result the controversy Robert
Parsons drew his gun and fired several
shots at Jesse Parsons, one shot tak

that the wounded man is seriously in

Georgia Legislator Says Members
Are Picked By Interests.
(By International News Service)
Atlanta, Aug., 22,—Claiming that
many of Georgia’s legislators Were
“nothing more than -paid lobbyists’'
and th*t “bootleggers *nd bankers,
loan sharks and industrial sharks,
all have their representatives on the
floor of the house,” Representative
Seaborn Wright, for 40 years rep
resentative from Floyd County, picked
up liis hat and left his legislative seat
_ in the middle of the session for his
home in Rome, Ga.
• “Time was when lobbying went on
outside of the legislature, but nowa
days every dirty specialprivilege ras
cal sees to it that one of his men is
elected to the legislature and the lob
bying goes on from within,” Weight
declared upon bolting the Assembly.
“These little rascals work for theji
masters and whine about legislative
courtesy. What do they know about
courtesy?
“This is not meant to apply to all
members of the present legislature.
A majority of them are beyond re
proach, honest and capable. But
there is a sufficient number of private
interest representatives to cause con-'
fusion and bring to naught the efforts
of the honest men who strive to better
conditions in the state.”
Early Is Not Menace, Says Physician.
-Raleigh, Aug 22—The North Caro
lina Health Department plans to con
tinue its present hands-off policy
, with regard to the efforts of the Fed
eral Government to put John Early
back in the Federal Leprosorium in
Louisiana. >
Dr. Charles O’H Laughinghouse
, states that he does not regard Early’s
presence in the mountains as a men
ace to the health of that section, since
his leprosy is pot in a stage >yhich
would make it contagious through cas
ual contact. In addition, the moun
taineers are all scared of Early, and
, are leaving him strictly alone.
Early, according to reports from
Tryon, is being kept by his family in
the center of a 48-acre tract. In these
conditions, health officers concede, he
is as effectively isolated as he would
' be in a hospital, and, in addition, he
, is much happier.
