ESTABLISHED 1870 SACGD, FASTING,IS AGAINST DELAYING Despite His Objections, Hearing on New Trial Goes Over a Week % DAYS WITHOUT RoOD Alleged Murderer Has Been on Hun- ger Strike in Effort to Speed up Trial—Had Hoped he Would be Able to Eat Today. Dedham Mass, March 9.— Hear- ings of motions for a new trial in the case of Nicola Sacco and Barthole- mco Vanzetti, convicted of the killing of a paymaster and his guard three years ago, was postponed today until next I°riday at the request of counsel for the defense, Judge Webster Thay- er had refused to rule on the admis- sability of an affidavit by John J. Mc- Anarney of defense counsel, explain- ing he was without adequate informa- tion, and asked counsel to proceed on other points. The defense attorneys however, sald they were not prepared to go ahead and asked a week's delay. He Wants To Eat When Judge Thayer asked for the prisoner's views on the request for do- lay, Vanzetti agreed promptly, but Saccp protested. The latter is now on his érd day of a hunger strike which he has said was intended to expedite the proceedings. “T want to eat,” he explained, but Vanzetti and defense ecounsel after a long talk, prevailed on him to consent to postponement, Wants Prisoner Changed Atty. McAnarney asked the court to have Vanzetti transferred from the state prison where he is under sen- tence for another offense to the coun- ty jail here, where 8aeco is confined. “T have very good reasons for making this request,”” he said. Judge Thayer, however, said he hadrno authority to grant tho request, Judge Thayer rebuked counsel for both sides for their fallurc to reach an agreement on the bill of exceptions submitted to the court, saying that in all his experience at the bar he had never encountered such @ condition and directed that they get together, and mark for him the progress on whieh they agree, and thercon which they could not. With five thousand pages of manuseript to read, he said, it was impossible for him to give pro- per consideration to the subject unless counsel would assist. The court viewed the history of the procecdings, the time elapsed since its several stages, and said coun- sel for the defense were justified in asking for the various postponements, ust as the court was justified in granting the delays whichgthey asked.

(Quoted Lov. I-Tlm Horald), Minneapolis, M. 9.—Last week we quoted Roger W, Babson relative ¢t DL, Copg, This week Mr, Babson treats of the Agricultural West, “The Agricultural West,” he says, “is confronted with a fundamental law which is this: the consumption per capita of wheat decreases as a people becomes more prosperous, The business man ecats less wheat than his chauffeur: the chauffeur eats less than the Ttalian gardener and the gardencr cate lvss than than the immigrant whe Jjust landed. Each generation of n family eats less wheat than the preceding generation, and so it goes. This law does not apply to cotton, sugar, rubber and| certain other products. It does of| 50 much apply to corn, which is fed to live stock, because as people be- come more prosperous they eat more meat, and they consume more cotton, sugar, rubber, ete. This does not mean there is no hope for the wheat growers; hut it does mean that the wheat growers have a more difficult problem than the growers of most other products. Immigration Is Felt. “So long as a million new immi- grants were coming into thig coun- try every year, and so long as our birth rate remained high, there was an increase in the \lemand for wheat | sufficient to take care of the excess! supply. With the immigration prac- was only about 25,000 people—and with the constant decline in our na- tive birth rate, the wheat growers of | the Agricultural West are up against a very difficult proposition.

Life's really worth more than that to Johnny Mihok, amateur boxer, yet he risked it for half a dollar just a few days after Howard Young, “hu- man fly,” plunged to his death during a dare-devil feat in New York. Somebody dared Mihok to climb to the top of the chimney of the South Orange car barn, -150 feet from the ground. A photographer snapped him from the roof of a tall factory building adjacent. “Climbing keeps your muscles in trim,” says Mihok, “bullds up the nerve, too.
