rccted the dramatic fight of the last two weeks to save Sacco and Vanzetti, stole from the warden’s office. He had sat there for a dreadful half hour, bowing his head and weeping like a child. Soon after, the bodies were brought out and placed in an ambulance. Under heavy escort, the ambulance moved to the city morgue, where an autopsy had to be performed before relatives could claim the bodies.^. Warden Henary, heavy-set Scotchman, was pale as he sat in the "orridor before his office after the execution and told a United Press reporter what he had seen. “Vanzetti shook hands with me before he went,” he said. “He has a strong grip—as strong as mine.” Crowd Is Pushed Back Father Murphy, prison chaplain, had been with the warden when the hour of summons to death arrived. “We must bow to the inevitable," Bartolomeo Vanzetti said when the warden told him. All of the doomed men refused spiritual aid. Sacco was writing a letter to his father in Italy when the warden arrived. He finished the letter and asked the warden to see that it was forwarded to his father. Warden Hendry assured him that he would attend to it. Mrs. Rosa Sacco and Luigia Vanzetti, sister of Bartolomeo, called at the prison for their third visit of the day. They spent but five minutes. As the fatal hour neared the army of guards pushed back the listless crowd which had stood before the gates. The lines finally were drawn one to three blocks from the prison. Two hours after midnight the quiet, deserted prison was a strange, contrasting scene to that of a few hours before the execution, when more than 500 men, armed with pistols, rifles, bayonets and fire hoses, virtually cut it off from the outside world. Prison Well Guarded Men mounted on horses, others on motorcycles, patrolled the vicinity. Back of the death house, firemen had stood with a high pressure hose, ready to quench any flame that might start from the overloaded, high-tension wires carrying death into the prison, or to sweep back with water any rush of Sacco-Van-zetti sympathizers. Three men with small machine guns pacod back and forth over the roof of the squat, sinister little death house. The last forlorn hope that the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti might again be spared had vanished late in the evening. Mrs. Rose Sacco, mother of Sacco’s two children, who collapsed twelve days ago as she was about to visit Governor Alvan T. Fuller in quest of respite, steeled herself last night and made a dramatic personal appeal to the executive. Last Plea Is Refused Accompanied by Miss Luigia Vanzetti, who had come 4,000 miles from Italy to bid her brother goodby, Mrs. Sacco appeared before the Governor in the executive chambers at the Statehouse and begged for marcy. Governor Fuller listened to their pleas and similar appeals from William G. Thompson, former chief defense counsel, and Gardner Jackson of the Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee for nearly two hours. “I am sorry, but my duty is clearly outlined,” the executive said solemnly at the end of the strange session. *

They jeered and hooted as they passed the office ol United States Consul Lawton. Censored in Spain Fearing violence, the Spanish government clamped a censorship on cable dispatches from the United States telling of the execution.

A heavy police guard surrounded the American embassy, and truckloads of police were concealed near the embassy. Numerous deputations from liberal and radical organizations were refused admittance. At Buenos Aires about a thousand persons were still on hard in front of newspaper bulletin boards when word came that Sacco and Vanzetti had been put to death. The crowd formed a parade, shouting and breaking windows of trolley cars as they marched. Police dispersed them. Many Are Injured Many were injured and hundreds arrested at Halle, Germany, where thousands of communists clashed with police. Street fighting continued for four hours. At Lyon, France, sympathizers attempted to boycott movie houses showing American films. Three persons were arrested after a fight with police.

Summitville Boy, 16, Emulating Thriller Novels, Lands in Jail.

By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 23. Homer Carter, 16-year-old orphan boy, is a prisoner in the Madison County jail here because he tried to emulate the exploits recited in “Wild West” novels of which he was a voracious reader. The boy confessed that he drew a rifle on Ora Vanness, farmer of near Summitville, with whom the boy had been making his home, in order to force Vanness to write him a check providing money for a getaway. Two “wild and woolly” novels were found on Carter's person when arrested. He told officers he intended to rob the bank at Summitville single-handed. After failing to coerce Vanness with the rifle, Carter forged a check for $lO and cashed it.

The monastery was damaged to the extent of SIO,OOO and windows in houses for blocks around were shattered. Residents were thrown from their beds. Angry at Americans BY HENRY WOOD United Pres* Staff Correspondent GENEVA, Aug. 23.—Sacco and Vanzetti sympathizers smashed property, filled on 6 person and wounded twenty-five last night. Another demonstration potential with violence was scheduled for today. American Were Hurt Americans were the quarry sought by the rioters. American delegates to the League of Nations press conference were stoned. Windows in the council room of the league were smashed. “Where are the Americans?” shouted the crowd as it approached the Kursal Case where American tourists and delegates usually spend their evenings. The demonstrators hurled stones as they marched. American automobiles were halted and wrecked. The crowd stormed J the American garage. Strike at Legion Ru United Press , , PARIS, Aug. 23. Communists planned today an attempt to prevent the American Legion from meeting here next month. The scheme was intended as- a protest against the execution last night of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Boycott of all things American at ports and in all cities formed the basis for the plan. It was not likely that the communists could succeed in frustrating the convention. The communist party announced a mammoth demonstration to convene at 9 p. m. tonight. Anarchists, communist and socialist organizations prepared today to demonstrate tonight in the vicinity of the United States embassy. Police and republican guards were ordered to remain in readiness in their barracks day and night.

Suddenly, on a window of the newspaper Freheit, overlooking the square, was pasted a piece of paper. Painted on it in red were the words: “Sacco murdered.” Men moaned and women shrieked. The crowd began to sing the “Internationale.” A second strip of

Perhaps these men blushed when questioned about their use of rouge, but it wasn’t noticeable i:e evidence was too much in evlcence.They were caught red-handed—not to mention red faced, red eyed and red headed. They .are, in short, well-red gentlemen. They told their story redily, without undue coloring. They are employes of the Continental Optical Corporation, 1402 N. Capitol Ave. The rouge is specially prepared iron rust, used in the process of grinding and polishing optical lenses. The method of preparing the metal is a closely guarded secret, but that doesn’t prevent the “rouge’’ from flying about shamelessly and coating the workmen during the grinding process. The rust particles are very mnirlte and the substance extremely delicate. It will polish the most delicate lenses without scratching them, according to Charles Green, plant foreman: Lenses, which later become the size of half-dollars start out the size of saucers, becoming worn down under their bombardment of rouge. Perhaps this characteristic holds a warning for women, but the odds are ten to one it will not effect the rouge sales for 1927.

paper in the window read: “Vanzetti murdered.” Fifteen or twenty women fainted; others dropped to the sidewalk, rested their heads on the hard surface, and wept. Men sobbed audibly. Police motorcycles disturbed the somber mourning. Officers whirled through the crowd. The throng dispersed quietly.

Ashamed b Lieutenant Colonel Is Taking His War Trophies Back to Germans in Remorse.

Bu United Press NEW YORK. Aug. 23.—A war thrill that does not come from the whine of a shell or the charge of victory is sought by Lieut. Col. George Crouse Cook, R. C., U. S. A. He will board the New York liner Hahburt next Wednesday to sail to Germany with 500 war trophies of which he no longer is prideful.

I have looked at these souvenirs year after year,” said Colonel Cook today, “and I no longer feel pride in their possession. If I kept them, it would seem that I must say continually: “Who won the war?’ “They don’t belong to me. I will restore them as keepsakes and mementoes. “In this way.” said Colonel Cook. “I want to help along the understanding that is growing up slowly between the United States and Germany.” SHOOTING PROBED y Police Investigate Helm Mystery Case.

COURTS RAPPED BY NEWSPAPERS IN SACCO CASE New York Press Comment Indicates Issue Is Not Dead. By United Press % NEW YORK. Aug. 23.—Questions regarding the efficiency of American courts predominated today in editorial comment on the execution in Charlestown Prison of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Among the aditorial comment in New York were: Daily News—Many a moral can be drawn from this miserable business. We believe the plainest and most important moral has to do with the criminal slowness of criminal justice in the United States. Evening World The Evening World strongly opposed the carrying out of the sentence. It nowhopes with equal earnestness that there may be no bitterness, no recrimination, no rancorous harping on what might or should have been done, in after discussion of the event. Issue Lives On The New York Telegram—Sacco and Vanzetti are dead. Nothing more can be done to them or for them. But the issue their trial and conviction raised is still very much alive. And justice in Massachusetts is still on trial before the world and will remain on trial until the truth is known. The World—We are concerned with a grave question of national polity. By the time the last appeals had been made, the judicial procedure of a whole State had become involved in this case, and whether we like it or not that whole judicial procedure has gone on trial; it must justify what it has done be_ fore the American people sitting in judgment. TJje Sun—For more than six years the resources provided by the law of Massachusetts served to postpone the infliction of the penalty prescribed by that same law It is a fault of American legal methods which calls * loudly for mending. Chicago Opinion

“ The Chicago Journal said: “The men are dead, and there’s an end of the case, but it is not the end of the bad advertising Massachusetts has had, nor is it the end of a belief, however ill founded, in the martyrdom of the two men.” Other Chicago newspapers did not comment on the case today. Boston Views Boston Herald: “The die is cast. The arrow has Mvn. Now let us go forward to the duties and responsibilities of the common day with renewed determination to maintain our present system of government and our existing social order.” Boston Transcript: “The SaccoVanzetti case has ended in the only way it could end. In view of the unchanging verdict of jury, courts, his excellency the Governor, and the advisory committee, any other conclusion would have been sheer surrender to the forces of anarchy and -disorder and an abject admission that trial by hysteria—which is nothing else than lynch law—had prevailed within the commonwealth.” WOUNDS FIVE PERSONS By Times Special BROOKVILLE, Ind., Aug. 23 O. G. Gouge, 50, a farmer, is held here under SI,OOO bond after wounding five persons of a group at a baptismal service when he fired a shotgun. He is said to have been drunk.

Chiefs Death May End U. S. Steel Conservation

Policy Gary Made Millions By Likely to Be Abandoned. EDITDR’S NOTE: This is the second of a series of five articles discussing the reported formation of a *4,000,000.000 corporation out of U. S. Steel General Motors and the du Pont interests. BY JOHN W. HILL Financial Editor, Iron Trade Review The United States Steel Corporation, purchase of a block of whose stock by the du Pont interests has created a flood of rumors and set off an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission, has been in existence just a little over a quarter of a century. It h\ done a gross business of approximately $25,000,000,000 during the twenty-six of its corporate life. This sum is considerably larger than the public debt of the United States. It is more than the combined values of the railroads of the country, as tentatively fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commission. During the same period the corporation has disbursed in dividends to its stockholders about $1,300,000,000 and has paid out in wages to its employes approximately $6,000,000,000. Tremendous Growth

When first formed twenty-six years ago the corporation had fifty subsidiaries and subsidiary organizations, fifteen of them main sub-i sidiaries. But today there are 130 subsidiary and sub-subsidiary companies, tw r enty-seven of them being main operating companies. With its surplus of $353,500,000 an' its immense working capital of $4C‘1,477,000, the wealth arid power of the company stands unmatched in all time. By avoiding extremes and keeping its head in good times and in bad ones, the corporation came under the regime of the late chairman, E. H. Gary, to be regarded as a stabilizer of American industry. Its policies have been marked by exceptional caution. Welcome New Policy Curiously enough, in this go-get-ting age, the corporation has displayed a lack of aggressiveness. In fact, it is this very lack of aggressiveness, the cornerstone of the corporation’s policy, which leads many stockholders to welcome the idea of the infusion of some of the virile and progressive du Pont *>lood into the veins of the great steel giant. When the corporation was formed twenty-six years ago, Elbert H. Gary, a Chicago corporation lawyer of high attainment, was selected to head the board of directors. Until his death on Aug. 15, this same man remained at the helm. In fact it almost might be said that he sat on the throne as a benevolent but absolute monarch, and wielded the most powerful industrial scepter the world has ever known. It was Judge Gary who formulated or finally approved all of the major moves of the corporation. It was his voice alone which interpreted the policies or explained the acts of the world’s biggest enterprise. An Industrial Czar No single man of his time has ever been the sole spokesman for such vast enterprises as the more than $2,000,000,000 worth of properties enrolled under the banner of the United States Steel Corporation. Probably none will ever do so again. His successor is unlikely to attempt it, but will find it expedient to delegate more authority. > During his lifetime the value of shares of the corporation advanced from a low point of 8 around 1905, to a high point of 176 in 1926. It was a tribute to the care with which he had brought up the great

organization through its maturity, that even his death did not cause a break in the value of the shares: Survived Storms ~ During the early part of this century big business was under bitter attack from the trust-busters. With masterful hand, Judge Gary piloted the industrial ship under his command triumphantly through these dangers. He emerged from the storm of political and governmental hostility with the seal of approval upon the acts and conduct of the corporation affixed by the Supreme Court of tlis United States. Judge Gary won out by clinging to a few basic guiding principles. He early stood for a policy of frankness with the public against many of his associates who regarded such ideas as ruinously radical. He practiced fair dealing with his employes and competitors. Eventually it became clear that the Steel Corporation was not a commercial octopus, despite its great size. Task Different Now Judge Gary’s successors will be confronted with a different task than the one he carried to successful conclusion. He steered the great corporation through its perilous early days and gave a stability to the entire steel industry which previously had been in a state of destructive competition. With this momentous task accomplished, those who take up Judge Gary’s work will find It possible to devote more intensive attention to the pressing present day problems. These include technical research, more economical production and distribution, and more aggressive marketing. The passing of Judge Gary comes at a time when anew era is dawning in the steel industry. It is because of the amazing success in all the broader fields of modern efficiency in big business of the du Ponts that their active entrance into the affairs of the Steel Corporation would be regarded favorably throughout the steel industry.
