Should their decision be favor able, the case would go back to a single justice for a hearing on the merits, with a possibility that it might again reach the full bench. Meanwhile Judge ; Thayer, su perior court justice who presided at the trial, late today opened a tecond avenue to the supreme court when, at his home in Wor cester, he allowed defense ex ceptions to. his rulings of lack of jurisdiction on motions.-for a new trial, as well as to denials of a stay of execution and revocation of sentence.

Gnard precautions were re laxed in part today as the atmos phere of the case took on an easier tone, though strict watch was at strategic points. Municipal courts meted out fines of five dollars to 35 persons who "saun tered and loitered" in front of the state house yesterday and placed the case of another demonstrator oa file. FLYERS DECIDE DELAY RACE UNTIL TUESDAY (CoattsoMi frrm pc 1.) was ordered late today to discard his 47 five gallon tank plan for carrying a reserve supply of gaso line. A large substitute tank can not be constructed iefore Tues day, so it was certain that he would agree. He could not be located tonight. Previously he had expressed a willingness to postpone. Must lie Unanimous "It seems certain that the race will be postponed by a 'gentle men's agreement' among the pi lots." said Lieutenant Ben Wyatt as he came from a meeting at which the pilots were discussing the proposition. Wyatt is in charge of navigation tests. The agreement must be unani mous however, and MaJor Livings ton Irving, who had refused to sign, earlier in the evening, sajd, "get in touch with my backer," when the question of postpone ment was put to him over the telephone. A crash at the San Francisco bay approach to the airport here today sent the plane of Captain James L. Griffin, crashing into the shallow waters e-f the bay. The occupants of the machine were uninjured but the plane was wrecked. Two other entrants withdrew because they were unable to ob tain satisfactory planes. The pilots, navigators and me chanics in charge of the nine planes on the field today were working with all possible speed to complete work on the machines before the starting hour tomor row. There was but one plane, that of Major Irving's that had been put through all of the tests cov ering efficiency of navigators, their .instruments, of motors and adaptability of the crafts them selves. All. excepting today's late comers had been put through the theoretical navigation tests. Ma jor Irving was he only flier satis factorily to pass the practical nav igation test. Irv:ng p:anhed to pilot and pro t his course hinTSelf, despite official objection to one man doing both. The planes Oklahoma. Dallas Spirit and City of Peoria were in spected this afternoon and declar ed in perfect mechanical condi tion. They were being prepared for the navigation tests. The last two named planes arrived at the airport today. Armenia reports an earthquake. The Turkish masacre crop will be short in consequence. Dallas News.

In pre senting "Fun in a Dentist's Of fice" Doc Taylor and his company reverse the procednre by extract ing tunes instead of teeth. The result is a musical skit embellish ed -with dancing and comedy. Doc Taylor as the "Tune Extractor' and pretty little Gladys Blair as theoffice nurse provide the songs and dances. Mr. Taylor joins with his three male patients in forming- a saxophone quartette. In addition to doing: some difficult eccentric and Russian toe dane Inx Miss Blair features a snappy Black Bottom dance. This act is an ideal combination for enter tainment purposes In as much as It combines a plentltude of comedy with exceptional singing and dan cine. Alphonso and Company present marionettes and hey go through a regular vaudeville show, reduced proportionally. There Is no com plexion of the hackneyed Punch human puppets disport themselves in a manner that speaks of the ar tistic talents of their creators of those folk who pull wires. Joe Rolley and Lucille Ogden are clever comedian with a line of humorous conversations, music and dancing. Rolley is a darky attendant who rolls his white pa tron alone the board walk at Palm Beach. Their chatter is de lightful, original and amusing. Joe Rolley furnishes a Jazzy har monica solo and an eccentric dance. Rolley used to do this act with Ed Gallagher of tlallagher and Shean fame. Pejfgy Vincent, the dainty little singer, is a distributor of micro bes, but her brand of germs will be"ah aid to health rather than a detriment for they are laughing microbes. There is a special sur prise feature introduced during Miss Vincent's performance that will appeal to any mortal having the least sense of humor. An acrobat may possess great strength and still lack that fines se of hand to hand balancing. These feats are accomplished with an ease that belies the strength necessary to perform them, a co ordination of muscles and skill. A posing exhibition of muscular strength is also displayed.
