There were no efforts this forenoon on the part of any groups to demon- strate in the neighborhood of the American embassy, where all was quiet. A h guard was on duty there as well at the consulate. All vehicles were barred from the street in front of the embassy except those of persons having diplomatic credentials. Pedestrians were divert ed from the sidewalk to the center of the street.

Plans for the manifestations went on, however, the committee at the same time urging its followers to abstain from all violence and provocative acts and advising them not to carry any sort of arms. Another bit of advice from the com- mittee was against wearing caps, the | leaders of the Communists arguing that the police, imbued with the id that caps were part of the uniform of “roughnecks,” would quickly ar- rest cap wearers, while those in more conventional hats might escape.

Hyde Park last night, where it was announced that if the two men were put to death a mass demonstration would be staged Tuesday as a sort of memorial service, beginning in the afternoon and lasting until 9 o'clock tonight. A strong guard was kept about the American embassy in London and mounted police and guards were in readiness in neighborhood yards and inclosures. The American embassies in Paris and Rome likewise were heavily guarded. Rain Lessens Demonstrations. Paris had several demonstraticns, but a steady rain kept them within reasonable bounds. Seventy members of the Communist party went to the American embassy in an effort to plead with Sheldon Whitehouse, the American charge d’affaires. He con- sented to receive a few of them and they presented a resolution urging that a final appeal for pardon be sent to Washington. Communists in Berlin and other German cities attempted to stage manifestations, but they were sup- pressed by the police. Some disturbances took place at Stockholm and Gothenburg, Sweden. At the latter place the police had to charge the crowd when it tried to reach the American consulate. The police of Stockholm were busy until past midnight dispersing demonstra- tors. Monday there were demonstra- tions at both places, attended by thou- sands of workers. There was a fairly complete stoppage of work throughout Argentina Mor.- day. In Buenos Aires a number of ners abstained from food. No bs operated in the capital and only a few busses were on the streets. The most serious of a number of dis- orders was the burning of a street car in a suburb of Buenos Aires. Other Protests. At Montevidéo, Uruguay, and Asuncion, Paraguay, laborers stopped work.

BARTOLOMEO VANZETTL Bartolomeo Vanzetti was an Ttalian immigrant and an admitted radical leader. He went to Mexico to evade the draft in 1917, Vanzetti was a fish peddler in the historic town of Plymouth, Ma With a fairly good command of Eng Il h, he was a writer as well as an and his style was dramatic. A('u'r his amest, charged with murder, he wrote voluminous documents set ting forth his views and pleading that he was being persecuted for them. He was thick-sct and swarthy. A huge black moustaches, drooping at the ends, covered his mouth. So ac- £ he in radical councils that fellow radical, named Salsedo, nzetti was chosen to g0 to New York to search for him, This was late in April, 1920, Bitterness Expressed. sxpressions of bitterness were heard among those learning the through the special edition or through the Dbulletin boards. Unusual precau- tions were taken to prevent demon- strations and a guard of 25 men was placed ahout the American embassy. “This is not the healthiest moment for American aviators to come to Rome,"” is the remark which was heard in various forms in front of the bulle- tin Doards, in the cafes and on the street _corners as the Romans com- mented on the news. “Thank God, it is over! Vanzetti can rest peacefully will not forget,” said one man, ing to a copy of 11 Tevere. published a large cartoon depicting a rubberneck wagon filled with Amer. fean tourists passing Rome's Palace of Justice, with the caption: “Ladies and gentlémen, this is the Palace of Justice; back home the seats are elec- tric.” The Giornale D'Italia devotes near- Iy an entire page to the case, without comment, but 1l Tevere under the heading, “Our Account With Amer- ica,” vigorously attacks what it terms the “Satanic pride” of the United States.

On May 3 the body of Salsedo was found on'a New York sidewalk, where e had jumped or fallen from a win- dow in the Federal Department of Justice rooms on the fourteenth floor. The next day Vanzetti returned to Massachusetts, and on May 5 he was arrested on the payroll murder charge. It was Vanzetti’s claim that on the night of his arrest he and Sacco were starting on a tour, on which they in tended to pick up a mass of radical literature which they had distributed.. They wished to dispose of it, he as- serted, because they feared capture by Federal officers and deportation for their radical activities.

BERLIN, August, 23. — Berlin's morning newspapers went to press be- ford word of the Sacco-Vanzetti execu- tlons arrived, but carried ‘late cable dispatches saying there was no hope of a reprieve. The Soclalist and Com- munish organs indulged in severe con- femnation of the American judiciary. Small groups kept gathering in front of the American embassy long after midnight, each being dispersed by the police as soon as it gathered. Twenty arrests were made for ob- structing traffic.
