Question About Law The Pennsylvania law regarding commutation of .entcnce. provides that prisoners liap two months commuta tion for the first ,ear served, nnd an Increasing amount of time for Inter yenr". The low provides, however, that the sentence must be u year or morp to gic the prisoner the benefit of the Jaw. Mourner, there is n fiunl paragraph reitarding fractional commutation, hich provides that for a fractional part of a yeur the prisoner may bo glen proportional commutation. This might, by a stretch, be interpreted ns In roulllct with the first part of the low which specifics n jear ns tho least t'lin to rnjnj this benefit. Under (his law. however.

Recent reports from Atlantic City said she had been sighted off the const and had been visited by numerous motorboats. On the deck nf the schooner, whose name was roneealpd by canvas, const guard officers said they found numerous cases ot, liquor, with additional spirits below decks. There also -was evidence thnt much of her cargo had been dis charged. The men on board were asked for their papers, which they denied having. A search, however, disclosed documents indicating she had clenred from Nassau. July 7, for Halifax, nnd nlso for Glou cester. The men on board were alleged to have admitted that the schooner londed her cargo at n point five miles off tho Island of New Providence In the Ba hamas, and that the cargo comprised 1500 caseB of liquor of various kinds.

A rule that no picoyuno sltles were to be made of the "wet" goods run from the Itahamns had been laid down by the owners of the bottled Scotch, Anderson was quoted as revealing. The prlgf" for the whisky aboard was .500 a case and for the gin ?,ri() a case, but not less 'than ?10,000 worth of either or both would be sold ovor the side, It was stated.

Cummins, Retired Haberdasher, Missing Since Sunday Night and His Wife Fears Foul Play Camden police arc searching for George II. Cummins, a retired business man, who disappeared from his homo late Sunday night. It Is feared he has met foul play, as there were no busi ness or domestic troubles and no Ill ness to account for his voluntary de parture. Mr. Cummins, who Is fifty-two years old was sitting on the porch of his. home, 1022 South Fifth street. Cam den, chatting with his wife until late in the evening. Finally Mrs. Cuinmlni went to bed. About two hours later, worried because he was still up. sho went bnck to tha veranda and found him gone. Despltp the lateness of the hour. Mrs. Cummins thought It possible, she told tho polled this morning, that he had go'nc to visit relatives. For this reason she did not notify the police until this morning. She was forced to this step today because of the. fact that Mr. Cum mins had been summoned to court to ap pear against a group of boys whom ho had had arrested a few days ago for disorderly conduct. The pollco place little credence In the theory that this case may have had something to do with Mr. Cummins' disappearance. While the boys In the ense aru accused of being hoodlums and many neighbors have complained of youths nntl young men gathering with women beneath the nvvning of a store SEIZED RUM THEFT CALLED1NSIDE JOB' Third Raid on Federal Building Storehouse Will Be Sifted to Bottom, McConnell Says THIEVES GET SMALL HAUL The latest robbery of the room In the Federal Building where contraband I liquor is stored was an inside job. Wil liam C. McConnell, the new prohibition director for Pennsylvania, declared! today. Mr. McConnell failed to explain how It was possible that in n supposedly well-guarded, well -lighted building, threo such thefts could have taken placo, all within a comparatively short time. Only n small quantity of the seized liquor was obtained by the robber or robbers, nn Inventory disclosed. El rector McConnell said a minute exami nation showed the locks on the door of the storeroom were forced with n crowbnr. "Agent Zimmerman has been desig nated to mnkon further investigation." the prohililtldirrTlirector snid. "We are convinced the robbery was not the work of an outsider, and the whole thing will bo sifted to the bottom. The Investiga tion now under way will not stop until we have tho guilty party or parties." The robbery was discovered yester day, when agents made an Inventor of the seized stock for the new prohibition director. As in the casp of the two previous robbprles, both locks on the door to the storeroom were smashed Agents Zim merman nnd Williams had sepainte keys for these locks. Agents believe the robberv wns com mitted Saturday night. There was a guard stationed near the storeroom, l'levntors were not running nt this time nnd ngents do not believe a large quan tity of tho splzptl liquor could have been removed from thp fifth floor with out the aid of thp elevators. The other two robberies of the store room wero on February 7 nud July !1. Whisky valued at $7000 was taken in one of the robberies, according to Joseph f.
