RESPITE ASKED TO SCAN FILES Order for Probe of Justice Records Is Sought. By the Associated Press. BOSTO! August 22 —Attempts to save Sacco and Vanzetti early this afternoon apparently were almost wholly back to Gov. Fuller and Massachusetts State Courts. Four United States Supreme Court Justices—Holmes, Brandeis, Taft and Stone—had refused to intervene. Counsel for the two men then went before Gov. Fuller for a stay to allow them further time to seek Supreme justices, and also secking to have Fuller order examination of Federal Department of Justice rec- ords for possible new evidence. Michael A. Musmanno of 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 for a stay of execution be- cause the matter was outside his jurisdiction. Text Is Withheld. Musmanno withheld the text of the Chief Justice’s telegram, but added that Mr, Taft had advised him to zo ‘before one of the three Supreme Court justices now in this district, if he wished action on such a petition. The defense attorney had already appealed in vain to Justices Holmes and Brandeis. A dispatch from Stonington, said a stay of execution wa today by Justice Harlan F. his Summer home at Isle au Haut. Justice Stone was visited.at the little tsland, 8 miles out to sea, by Arthur D. Hill, chief counsel for Sacco and Vanzetti. Attorney Hill made the trip to the tsland by boat after reaching Stoning- ion on a steamer from Rockland, where he completed early this morn- ing & 200-mile motor drive from Bos- ton. He took his automobile across the western entrance to Penobscot Bay from Rockland on the steamer 50 as to have it available for return to Boston. Stone Issues Statement. At the conclusion of the conference, At whch only Justice Stone, Attorney Hill and three associates of the latter were present, Justice Stone gave out the following memorandum: *Application considered and denied without prejudice to application to any other justice. ¥ concur in the view ex- pressed by Justice Holmes as to the merits of the application and action of counsel in presenting it.” Attorney Musmanno said that he expected to receive, some time during the day, a decision from Chiet Justice ‘Walter P. Hall of the Superior Court on a petition for a stay laid before him last week. He had said earlier in the day that, as he understood it, Chief Justice Taft could not act on a petition while he was in Canada, but he had hoped to persuade him to come to some point within the United ates, in which case he was prepared to take an air- plane trip to see him. Elias Field of defense counsel said that Chief Justice Hall had placed the petition for a stay in the hands of Judge Sisk of the Superior Court, who was with Chief Justice Hall at a con- ference with defense attorneys last week, ¥ield later held a conference with Judge Sisk at the courthouse, and when he emerged said that no action had been taken.

SACCOTO PRECEDE VANZETTITOCHAIR Final Plans for Executions Laid in Boston—Crowd to Be Kept From Prison. By the Associated Press. 'OWN STATE PRISON, Boston, August 22.—All details of the plans for the execution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, due to die in the electric chair some time after midnight tonight, were com- pleted at the prison today. Unless the last-minute moves of their counsel serve to bring them another stay, the respite which saved them from death barely a half hour before they were to start the march to the death cham- ber on the night of August 10 will expire at exactly 12 o'clock tonight. Despite the international interest in the case, the steps in carrying out the law will differ in no particular from those surrounding the least known murderer from whom the Jaw exacts the highest penalty. There will be the customary number of witnesses, the same executioner, the usual prison guards. Only in the arrangements outside the execution chamber will there 'be any difference. Outside guards, State and city police, will keep crowds a block or more from the prison gates. Within the gates the largest crowd of newspaper men who ever gathered for an execution in Charlestown will be stationed to flash the news to every corner of the world where the case has attracted attention. Rest Near Death Chair. Sacco and Vanzetti and Celestino Madeiros, due to die at the same time, though for another crime, rested to- day in their cells approximately 40 feet from the chair in which they are to die, though shut off by brick walls that hid the knowledge of its pres- ence. - There they will remain until the guards summon them, one after the other, to start the march to the chair. Customarily this occurs within a minute of the stroke of midnight. The official witnesses invited by Warden William E. Hendry will gath- er in the warden’s office shortly after 11 p.m. The group will include, be- sides the warden and deputy warden, James L. Hogsett, the medical exam- of Suffolk County, Dr. George Burgess Magrath; the prison physi- cian, Dr. Joseph I. McLaughlin; the surgeon general of the Massachuselts National Guard, Dr. Frank P. Wil- liams; Sheriff William H. Capen of Norfolk County, and W. E. Playfair of the Associated Press. The law per- mits two other witnesses, at the dis- retion of the warden, and two physi- s may attend. Five prison guards will be in attendance, The witnesses will start for the death chamber soon after 11:30. They will walk within the prison to the deathhouse, a small one-story brick huilding which houses the death cells and the chamber with the chair.

The petitions of counsel for Sacco and Vanzetti asking reviews of the proceedings in their case in the Massachusetts tourts were docketed today in the Supreme Court. The petition seeking review of the | action of the Superior Court of Norfolk County, in which the men were tried and convicted, was given the number 427, while that asking a review of the action of the Massa- chusetts Supreme Court was num- bered 468. The two petitions were docketed after C. Elmore Cropley, clerk of the highest tribuna!, talked over long distance telephone with Michael Musmanno of counsel for the con- demned men concerning the papers which Miss Jessica Hill of the office of Arthur D. Hill, one defense counsel, had brought here today to be filed as the record in the two cases. Court Gets Assurances. Mr. Musmanno assured the court of- ficial that he would today enter into a stipulation with the district attorney at Boston as to what part of the record should he presented for presentation should the cases later go to the court here, The clerk had previously refused to file the petitions on the ground that the papers were not in proper form. When the clerk’s office opened this morning Miss Hill submitted the pa. pers, duplicates of which had been sent by mail but which have yet to be received. Acting Attorney General Farnum, who in a statement yesterday said he would permit Gov. Fuller, the attorney general of Massachusetts or the Lowell commission to inspect the department’s records if they re- quested such authority, declared to- day that his .department has “no Sacco-Vanzett! file.” The * scattered references to the men in the department records relate principally to the Wall Street bomb explosion of 1920 and are mingled in general records of the Washing- ton, New York and Boston offices, he said. Nothing About Murder Case. A rigid inspection of all records in these offices, he said, showed nothing relating to the murder casesexcept reports on the placing of an observer in prison to listen to Sacco's dis- cussions with visitors in an attempt to find a clue to the perpetrators of the Wall Street explosion, and a re- quest from the Massachusetts author- itles for information as to whether New York anarchists had received sudden large deposits after murder, These references, Mr. Farnum said, constitute all of the files relating in any way to the murder. “The department wa# not inves. tigating the radical activities of Sacco and Vanzetti when they were arrest- ed, nor planning an pursuing them in any shape or he_added. Efforts of the Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee to have members of labor unions in Boston go on a sympathy strike today had brought about 300 workers out up to noon today. ‘The full result of the committee’s appeal could not be told until a can- vass of the needle trades workers had been made in the afternoon. Labor union officials had refused to sanction a strike. o LITA GREY CHAPLIN GRANTED DIVORCE Comedian's Complaint Dismissed.

C, MONDAY, 0 () ) \ PRESIDENT AGAIN IN GOOD HEALTH Executive, on Way to Park, Is “Feeling Fit” After Indi- gestion Attack. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ON BOARD PRESIDENTIAL TRAIN, BILLINGS, Mont., August 22.—President Coolidge appeared today to be completely recovered from the attack of indigestion from which he suffeved the greater part of yesterda He did not arise, however, as early as is his custom, but when he present- ed himself on the obgervation platform of the special train for a few moments of fresh air before going to breakfast he said he felt like himself again. Except for a slight paleness and a trace of weariness, Mr. Coolidge looked none the worse for his brief indispo- sition. Maj. James F. Coupal, his physician, faid the President’s attack yesterday was not serious and was not of a nature to cause alarm. He pro- nounced him today as being very fit. Judging from the hearty meal the President ate after boarding his train last night and his breakfast this morning, there should be no question about his fitness. His meal last night consisted of a large steak, potatoes, preserves, a salad, hot rolls and a des- sert. This morning he had orange juice, a cereal, preserves, hot cakes and eggs and coffee. Physician Not Alarmed. The President arose this morning at , and, as is his daily custom, shaved himself with his old-fashioned razor and then hurriedly dressed to Join Mrs. Collidge and their son, John, who already were up and out in the drawing room of the car waiting_for his arrival. i Maj. Coupal was not at all worried over the President’s indisposition terday. He said his trouble may have been caused by something he ate. He thought also that the Presi- dent’s being out in the broiling sun for two hours Baturday afternoon, while fishing, may have contributed to his ailment. Dark clouds and a. steady rain ) | grected the President when he went to the rear platform to take in the early morning scenery. The train had Jjust passed through what is known as the Crow Indian country, and the landscape that met his eye was not unlike that in the part of South Dakota in which he has been living, except for the prominence of sage- brush. Governor to Pay Respects. The_presidential party left Custer aboarll a Burlington train at 8 o'clock last night, and will arrive at Gardiner, the gateway to the Yellow- stone National Par this afternoon. Representative Scott Leavitt of Mon- tana_is to board the presidential train at Billings. At Livingston, Mont., Gov. Erfcsson and a small party will come aboard the train to pay their re- spects to the President. Extra precautions for the Presi- dent’s safety have been taken in view of the proximity of the time set for the Sacco-Vanzettl execution in Mas- sachusetts. Virtually every mile of the railroad has been under guard. The usual prohibition of other train movements.on tracks adjacent to that of the presidential train was enforced nd a dozen railroad officials and rail- road detectives went along in addition to the secret service guard. Safety in Park Assured. Those responsible for the President’s safety have heen assured by Yellow- stone Park authorities that it will be a simpler matter to protect him there than at a place like Custer State Park, where the Summer White louse is located. Cavalry guards remained on duty in augmented squads about the game lodge as if the President were not absent. Unless Mr. Coolidge should yleld to ambitious plans made by Yellowstone Park officials, he will not follow the regular tourist routes through the park, but will be content to see a few of the outstanding fea- tures such as “Old Faithful” and then seek a quiet, attractive spot for fish- ing and other recreation. No set schedule has been arranged. but tentative plans are for the Presi- dent to return via Cody, Wyo., leava ing the park by one of the east gateways, which would eliminate the rhrnce of a stopover at Denver. Two rallroads will share the responsibility of carrying the President to the park. Including the mileage in the park, covered in automobiles and on horse- back, the entire trip will amount to at_least 1,500 miles. Montana will be the third State to be visited by Mr. Coolidge since he established Summer quarters in South the Sierras, June 12, 1926, was found yesterday by a telegraph company employe tramping through the forest, Dakota.

Serious consideration of the long proposed merger of street car com- panies will be given by the Public Utilities Commission this fall, it was indicated today by John W. Childress, the chairman. As its initial step Mr. Childress an- nounced that the commission would refer to Corporation Counsel W. W. Bride and People’s Counsel Ralph B. Fleharty the bill introduced in the last Congress which was designed to force a consolidation of the street rail- way companies, with a view of having them determine whether the measure is constitutional. If Mr. Bride and Mr. Fleharty hold it legal it is likely, he indicated, that this bill will be in- troduced again in the next Congress. Private Merger Seen. Chairman_Childress expressed the opinion, however, that a voluntary merger probably would be more satis- factory than one forced by legislation. And he confidently expects the car companies and the North American Co. to bring it about long before it could be accomplished by legislation, because the car companies most likel) would delay the negotiations by test- ing the constitutionality of any merger law in the courts. Public sentiment is strongly in favor of a merger, and I believe the car companies know it and will strive to bring it about without legislation,” said Mr. Childress, “And I have rea- son to believe, too, that a definite step toward the merger will be taken by the North American Co. and other in- terested parties in the near future, and thus avold-the need of legislation. Action to Be Pressed. “Any legislation intended to force a merger would have to have-teeth, and according to my observations leg- islation with teeth is usually held to be unconstitutional.” Since its creation in the Spring the new commission has not concerned itself seriously with the merger ques- tion, although its members have been endeavoring to keep informed on the movements of the North American Co. and the traction companies them- selves looking toward a_unified oper- ation of the car lines. But now, Mr. Childress said, the proposed merger appears to be the most important mat- ter confronting the commission, and amuch time will be devoted to plans for bringing it about. i FLIGHT REGULATION ‘BYLAWPREDICTED Eberle Cites $90,000 Cost and Maneuver Delay. in Search for Dole Flyers. By the Associated Prei A prediction that Congress will en- act a law to prohibit long-distance air- plane stunt flights, except under rigid conditions, was made today by Ad- miral Eberle, Acting Secretary of the Navy Naval statisticians estimate that the search for the lost Pacific aviators will cost the Navy $90,000. This amount. ‘mainly for fuel, is above normal operating expenses of the fleet of 42 vessels engaged in. the search. In addition, $20,000,000 worth of property in the form of ships and 3,000 men have been held up for eight days and the Pacific maneuvers have been interrupted. Recent airplane disasters showed a need for careful preparation and strict tests of motors and planes before flights are attempted, Admiral Eberle declared. Each crash is harmful to aviation, he said, adding that experi- mental flights should be held down to the point of reasonable safety and de- signed to advance practical aviation. No long-distance flights should be made over water except in seaplanes or amphibians, he said. If a plane, equipped to float, comes down, it has a chance of staying above water, but the buoyancy of a land plane is neg- ligible and usually sinks when the wings become saturated. “My ambition is to ses the Navy abolish land planes for sea flights, he added. “I will never lose an oppor- tunity to get sea planes installed, be- cause of their safety and consequent effect on the personnel.” The admiral pointed out that the Navy already had moved to abolish land planes from the equipment of airplane carriers by advertising for designs for a small, speedy amphib- ian. Seaplanes, he said, are now used exclusively from catapaults aboard battleships and cruisers. France already has taken steps to regulate stunt flying .as a result of the fatal Nungesser-Coll flight, he =aid, adding that Congress eventually will regulate such flying in this coun- try by law. The destroyer Hazelwood, sent out to search for the Dallas Spirit, today reported to the Navy Department that it had completed two searching operations of 40 miles square each, and in the commander’s opinion, the plane ‘‘was not floating in that area. The Hazel returned to San Fran- cisco today to refuel and re- sumed th SR tion is delivered to Washington homes * as fast as the paper (®) Means Associated Press.

PACIFIC HIDES FATE OF FLYERS AS NAVY INTENSIFIES SEARCH Ocean Combed for Sixth Day Without Revealing Trace of 3 Missing Planes. DALLAS SPIRIT CRASHED, BELIEF OF AIR EXPERTS Golden Eagle Greatest Puzzle to Aviators—Rodgers Plight Cited as Hope for Miss Doran. By the Associated Press. L2 FRANCISCO, August 2 ‘The aviation world, its eyes held westward, with a heavy heart today watched aircraft, naval vessels and merchant <hips continue their intensive search in the trackless wastes of the Pacific for seven flyers, who flew down the airways from Oakland toward Hono- last week and have not been of since. Efforts of 58 naval vessels, aided by the merchant craft steering a course along the 2,400-mile great circle be- tween San Francisto and Honolulu, after six-day search failed to reveal any trace of the three missing planes —The Miss Doran, the Golden Eagle and the Dallas Spirit. Worshipers in all Honolulu church- es yesterday offered prayers for the rescue of the six men and one woman comprising the crews of the lost air- ships. Carrier Pigeon Raises Hopes. A faint flicker of hope regarding the plane carrying Miss Mildred Doran went up from Long Beach, Calif., last night when a carrier pigeon landed there. At one time Miss Doran spoke of taking carrier pigeons on the tight and releasing them 150 and 300 miles out in the Pacific. Check of the mark- ings on the bird, however, revealed it was a participant in a carrier pigeon race being conducted on the Pacific Coast, and had no connection with the San Francisco-to-Honolulu tiyers. Residents of Honolulu, mindful of the rescue of the late Comdr. John Rodgers, continued to express hope that the missing flyers would .be found. Rodgers was found nine days after his seaplane was forced down. Unfrequented beaches on both the east and west shores of the Hawalian Islands have failed to’ give any indi- cation of airplanes or of their crews. ivery Sampan (Japanese fishing boat) has been checked, but their occupants Ea\'p brought no word or indication of ope. Flight Backer Still Hopes. William Malloska, Michingan mil- lionaire and backer of the flight of the Miss Doran, said he would not give up hope of finding the plane and its occupants until seven days had passed. He believes the plane and its occupants may still be found floating, with the crew and Miss Doran half starved, but uninjured. If the crew of the Miss Doran should be found, they would have been tossed about the Pacific on a plane raft or a rubber life boat for more than 120 hours, half starved and baked under the blazing sun, judging by the Rodgers experience. In such a situation, Miss Doran would have an even chance with the man occupants of her plane for es- caping alive, Dr. Aurella Reinhardt, president of Mills College, say. Miss Doran’s youth would'keep her alive as long as the more rugged, but older occupants of the plane, Dr. Reinhardt pointed out. Failure of n: gal vessels to find any trace of the Dallas Spirit. carrying Capt. William Erwin, which went down_about 600 nautical miles from San Francisco on Friday night, has led aviation experts to believe that Capt. Erwin's plane crashed and gave the occupants little chance to get to a liferaft. An SOS message of a tail spin was the last word received from the Dallas Spi Intensive Search Futile. Day and night naval vessels have swept over the position and in the vi- cinity of the last position given by Capt. Erwin and his navigator, A. H. Eichwaldt, but no trace of the occu- pants or wreckage of the plane has been sighted. The destroyers Hull, Kidder and Corry were 330 miles southwest of San Francisco last night. The air. craft carrier Langley and the U. S. S. Aroostook were 563 miles southwest of San Francisco. Today they plan- ned to continue moving westward to make another intensive search of the area where the Dallas Spirit went down, The fate of the Golden Eagle, pilot- ed by Jack Frost and navigated by Gordon Scott, is the greatest puzzle of the race. The plane was bullt with flotation bags and the fuselage carried a thick lining of cork. Gordon Scott, its navigator, had sailed a yacht between San Francisco and Honolulu and knew the Pacific well. At Hono- lulu it was believed that the Golden Eagle had overshot its mark and had passed the Hawalian Islands during the night. It was the fastest plane in_the race. With this theory in mind, subma- rines and other naval craft have been searching the area west of the Ha- wailan Islands. Believes He Saw Crash. Capt. E. H. Connors, commander of the destroyer Hazelwood, which was patrolling the Honolulu route, 525 miles off the Golden Gate Friday night, expressed here today the belief that he saw the Dallas Spirit flashing downward in the tail spin which is thought to have endedsthe lives of its pilot, William P. Erwin, and its navi- gator, A. L. Eichwaldt. A light dropping through the thin clouds is believed by Capt. Connor to have been on a wing of Erwin's plane, although its probable signifi- cance he did not realize until the Navy’'s shore radio station notified him of the aircraft's despairing call for help. The Hazelwood, which was stationed 100 miles off shore at .he beginning of the Dole flight. was searching the waters west of that position for the two missing contesting planes, the Miss Doran and the Golden Eagle, :lhen the Dallas Spirit passed over m. Informed from he shore that Capt. Erwin’s craft was believed to have fallen into the ocean and the approxi- mate position, he headed directly for it and reached the place within four OV n area 40 miles square . several times on Page 0!:-1-,1.)
