Since the US is already banning British Communist MP Shapurji Saklatvala from the Interparliamentary Conference, the Federation of Hungarian Jews in America asks Secretary of State Frank Kellogg to also ban 8 Hungarian delegates for inciting pogroms, suppressing free speech, etc.
John Hulbert, the executioner at Sing Sing and elsewhere, plans to retire next June when he becomes eligible for a pension. Since executions are by electric chair, his replacement will have to be an electrician like him (that’s his day job at Auburn Prison). He gets $150 per execution (his predecessor quit after the state refused to continue paying his standard $250 rate). At his retirement, Hulbert will have executed 140 men (and no women). He will commit suicide, by gunshot, in 1929.
