Parliament was due to rise tomorrow but the entrance of the Fianna Fail puts the Cosgrave Gov- ernment in a minority and it will be defeated at once, President Cosgrave then has the choice of resigning immediately leaving the Labor party headed by Thomas Johnson to, form a govern- ment with de Valera's support or calling a general election, It is assumed tonight the first step will be a new government in which Johnson will be President and Captain Redmond, Minister of External Affairs, The Fianna Fail, on whose votes the Government would reyl, would not lhe repre- sented. in the Cabinet. Few observers think this situa- tion can last long. Mr. Cosgrave. who keeps his own counsel, may decide to call another general elec- tion almost at once, If a new government takes office it will ask Great Britain to remove or modify the oath of allegiance to the King required by the Irish Con- stitution of all Dail members. But Johnson would make no attack on the treaty setting up the Free State, although the Fianna Fail is avowed- ly out to destroy it.

Full Benth If this appeal is/ denied hy the full bench which wili hear it, then action in the Sacco-Vanzettl case, so far as the Massachusetts state courts are concerned, is ended. Mr, Hill may then appeal to the Federal Dis- trict Court for a writ of certiorari, which would permit him to submit all the documents in the case to this court on the ground that the men were convicted without due process of law. should he lose in the Federal Court as well as the State Supreme Court, it is stated that he could go no further in the. courts, The only chance of saving (the condemned men in such a contingency would be for Governor Fuller to commute their sentence to life imprisonment.

SEEK CIRCUS MAN IN YOUTH'S DEATH St. Mary's Man Dies from a Hammer Blow Given By Carnival Employee Stratford, Aug. 11.--Howard Bain, aged 21, of St. Mary's died this morning in the Stratford Gen- eral Hospital, the result, it is believ- ed, of injuries he received when struck over the head by a hammer dur'ng the Old Boys' reunion at St. Mary's. The young man was admitted to the hospital on Saturday afternoon. Since then, attended by four doctors, he had fought a life and death struggle, with death the final victor. An inquest was immediately or- dered and a jury empanelled this morning 'hy (Coroner Dr. 'Maxwell Fraser. After the body had been viewed, proceedings were adjourned until August 25. Police Seek Antagonist In the meantime, police are seek- ing the man alleged to have thrown a hammer at young Bain after a row, in which several young men are said to have taken part during the early hours of Sunday, July 31. Details of the fight in which the young man received the fatal in- juries are meagre. On the night previous, with several companions, Bain had been ag the midway of the Dalzell Amusement Company in St. Mary's during the Old Boys' Re- union week. Several of them re- monstrated with an employee of the midway for the careless manner in which he was driving his motorcycle through the crowds, but nothing further was done, Later, however, the motoreycle rider is sald to have gathered a gang of fellow-employees and attacked the group of young St. Mary's men. A fight ensued, and it was either during it, or after, a hammer was thrown at young Bain and his fore- head was cut open. Several of his companions were also cut. Thoughs Injury slight The young man thought nothing sale will be held in the Assembly Hall of the Centre street school and it is anticipated that several of the, lots which wese passed by at the | last sale will fall at the aution block. The city reserves the right to retain any lot on which the sum offered is less than the amount ow- ing for taxes, but it is likely that some bargains will be obtained.
