Juarez, Mexico, April 8.—General Venustiano Carranza today gave out & statement ‘dealing with the subject of the expulsion of foreigners, justifying Vil ction, and stating that Span- | ish property would not be confiscated.

The points made by Fabe are included in the Carranza state- ment, which is as follows: The Spaniards have been deported from Mexico on account of their active participation in thermovement in favor of Huerta. This expatriation of the Spaniards has been done as a favor to them in order to save them troubles of a serious nature.

GLYNN UNNERVED BY APPEAL FOR GUNMEN. ned Plea Mads by Jewish C‘rflymln of New York. N. Y., April 8—An impas- dramatic appeal made by clergymen of New York for a stay of the execution of the four sunmen who were convicted of the killing of Herman Rosenthal, was de- nied .by Governor Ginn late today. The convicted men now must die in the electric chalr at Sing Sing next Monday. The plea was made in the executive chamber and was based on the possi- bility of new evidence devecloping in the”second trial of Former Police Lieutenant Becker. Tt so completely unnerved the governor that he had to retire to his private office for a time before he could continue his duties. “That was the most difficult ex- perience of my life,” he said later. It originally was planned that the mother, brother and sister of “Whitey Louis” Seldenshner and the sister and | the mother of “Dago Frank” Cirofici should accompany the clergymen and plead for executive interference. This plan was not carried out, however, as the clergymen deciined fo permit the governor to be submitted to the or- deal of conversing with relatives of the condsmned men. The clergymen, all officers or mem- bers of the Union of Othodox Jewish Congregations of America, were ac- companied by H. Lionel ringle, one of the attormeys for the gunmen. He aid not appeal to the governor, but each one of the clergymen was per- mitted to talk. The governor, mean- while, stood nervously twitching his watch chain. His fact was drawn and white. At times he interrupted the speakers to say'that the evidence before him did not warrant a change of his decision not to grant the pris- oners’ plea for executive clemency. “If it were my heart alone that was corsidering this case,” he said, “you know what I wouid do. I have spent many sleepless nights because I real- ized that I alone stood between these boys and death. But I have made up my mind. It was a choice between sentiment and justice and I had tc side with justice. I would have given every cent I possess not to have had to pass upon this case finally. But it was my duty and I have perform- ed that duty as I saw it” SIX BANK ROBBERS CAPTURED OR KILLED. Citizens of New Hazelton in Pur- suit of the One Still Free. New Hazelton, B. C. April 8—Ev- ery citizen of New Hazelton capable of bearing a rifle was out today search- ing for the last man of the bandit gang which raided the branch of the Union Bank of Canada here yesterday.

MISSED 120 VOTES | —_—— Stockholm, Sweden, April 8—King | Decision of Moderator Gives Joseph H. \ Lawler a Plurality of 35—Will be Sworn in Today. Hartford, Conn., April 8—Although on_the face of the returns of yester- day’s biennial mayoralty election, Mayor Louis R. Gheney, republican, was returned to office by 64 votes, the moderator at tonight's adjourned city meeting declared Attorney Joseph H. Lawler, democrat, elected by an ar- bitrary plurality of 35 votes. This action was taken by the mod- erator, P. J. Malon, because of the democratic contention that one of the voting machines in the fourth ward had falled to register 120 votes. The machine was opened during the day, by order of Judge Bennett of the su- perior court, and it was found that the cog connecting' with the Lawler count- er was out of order, preventing it from recording the vote, Mayor Cheney Sends In Resignation. After the meeting, which was a pro- tracted one—having recessed four times—City Clerk Smith, while accept- ing the decision of the moderator for filing, issued a certificate of election to Mayor Cheney. ' Mr. Cheney refused to accept the certificate and sent in his resignation, to take effect at once. He says that while it is apparent he was elected on the face of the re- turns, “it will be intolerable for e to serve as mayor with the conscious- ness that my election may have result- ed from a failure of the voting ma- c}flnery to record the will of the peo- ple In the meantime, M. J. Hogan, act- ing president of the board of alder- men, is mayor of the city until tomor- row at 11 o'clock, when Mr, Lawler will be inducted into office. Tonight's meeting came as the cul- mination of a day of exciting develop- ments, following one of the closest municipal elections this city has had in recent years. Mr. Mahon, moderator of the fifth ward, was moderator of the meeting by virtue of charter pro- vision. He recited, in detail, the trou- ble with the mechanism in the voting machine,and sa idthere was no doubt in his mind, or in the minds of ex- perts, that the machine had become clogged during the voting yesterday. _His figures for the total vote in the city are: Lewler, 7,685; Cheney, 7,550. Mr. Cheney’s letter, written to the lcm.u‘l ©of common council, is as fol- ows: - . Reasons for Mayor's Action, “From the returns of the city elec- tion held April 7, 1934, it appears that I have -been. elected mayor of the city of Hartford, and_the city clerk has issued to me a proper certificate of election. Nevertheless, it is my per- sonal belief, in spite.of the returns, that a plurality of votes was cast for Mr. Joseph H. Lawler. - I am advised by ‘my counsel that neither your hon- orable body, acting as a board of can- vassers, nor a court, could legally dis- regard the returns and declare any other person than myself elected may- or. % __“It would bé unfortunate for the city if -any cloud should be cast upon the mayor’s title to his office, and it will be intolerable for me to serve as'may- or with the consciousness that my election may have resulted from a fail- ure of the voting machinery to record the will of the people. “I am impelled, therefore, by a sense of fairness and by a sense of civic duty to tender my resignation, and I do hereby resign the office of mayor of the city of Hartford, to take effect forthwith, “Respectfully, “LOUIS R. CHENEY.” Counsel for Mr. Lawler made an- nouncement that he would take the oath of office tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock before a justice of the peace. The board of canvassers and the court | of- common council, which is over- whelmingly democratic, will meet to- morrow night at eight o’clock to offi- clally canvass the returns. Joseph H. Lewler, mayor-elect of Hartford, will be one of the youngest mayora in the country when he tvkes the oath of office tomorrow. He is not yet 30 years old. He is a grad- uate of Georgetown university and the Harvard Law school. He is a suc- cessful lawyer. Last year he repre- Sented Hartford in the general assem- bly. Primaries at Tacoma, Wash. Tacoma, Wash.,, April 8.—Complete returns ‘“from _yesterday’s municipal primary show that A. V., Fawcett poll~ ed a plurality of 2,453 votes over C. F. W. Stoever, ‘a clergyman, in the mayoralty race. Homer T. Bone, so- cialist, was third. Fawcett and Stoever will be the opposing candidates in the regular election April 21. SPECIAL MEETING OF BOARD OF PARDONS To Hear Petition for Commutation of Death Sentence of Waterbury Man. Hartford, Conn., April 8.—A special meeting of the board of pardons was called by Governor Baldwin today to meet on April 25 at the state prison in Wethersfield at noon, to hear a peti- tion for commutation of the sentence of death imposed upon Michael Rik- teraitis, for murder of his wife at Wa- terbury last fall. The date set by the court for Rikteraltis’ hanging is May 8. The petition was filed some time ago and in it the claim was put forth that the condemned man was Insane at the time he committed the murder and is still in bad mental state. It is interesting to note that should the supreme court of errors fail to find error in the case of Mrs. Bessie J. Wakefleld for murder, the session of the board of pardons might afford op- portunity for a hearing on a petition to commute her sentence. The court will come in at Bridgeport for its April sitting next week and expecta- tion is that a decision will be handed down on Mrs. Wakefield's case. Sheuld error be found Mrs. Wakefield in or- dinary course of events would be re- tried. An erse decision would af- ford her co el time in which to peti- tion the board for a hearing. The reg- ular meeting of the beard is in June. Steamers Reported by Wireless.
