and the mutter was placed before the

According te counsel for Anastase
proof has been presented te ecclesiasti

was one of convenience alone, and that
he went through the ceremony with
Mite. Momemtky merely te protect her
from a pogrom after the Bolshevists
occupied x'alta, Crimea, in the winter
of 1020.
"This proof has net been satis
factorily met by Mile. Mnuremylcy, new
residing in Paris," say counsel for
Anastase. "Accordingly we arc net
surprised te learn that the authorities
of the Russian Cathedral of tit.
Nirhelus, the old Russian Consulate
authorities of New Yerk, nnd the

Ilarrlsburg, Nev. 22. Philadelphia's
leading banking Institutions were
nr rayed today against Mrs. Muriel
Williamson, wife of Jesse Williamson,
2d, In opposition te a pardon for her
husband.
Williamson, former empleye of the
Pennsylvania Company for Insurance
en Lives and Granting Annuities, em
betzled $650,000. He was convicted and
sentenced te from eight te twenty-four
years in the Eastern Penitentiary. Ilia
case Is up before the State Beard of
Pardons nnd his loyal wife, who has
xeugni since tne beginning el bis term
te get her husband out of jail, Is line
te appear personally befere the Parden
Beard.
Seme of rthe most prominent bankers
of tbe city wrote te the Beard of Par
dons today te urge that body te refuse
te, give Williamson bis liberty. The
prisoner's own uncle, C. 8. W. Pack
nrd, president of the Pennsylvania
Company, put the tics of bleed aside
and write one of tbe strongest letters
the beard received urging that strict
justice be meted out.
Mr. Packard wrote that he felt It was
his duty as president of the Pennsyl
vania Company te pretest against
granting Williamson his freedom. ,
"The sentence which the defendant
is serving," wrote Mr. Packard, "Is
net unduly severe for the crime which
he committed. It was u crime cam
mited In cold bleed, covered by a sys
tem Impossible te detect save by ac
cident, a system' of great ingenuity
and cunning. ,
"Te free this defendant new would
be te put temptation in the way of
ether bank empleyes."
"Crime Flagrant One"
Jeseph Wayne. Jr., president of the
Girard National Bank, wrete that bank
presidents ns a class must oppose the
freeing of Williamson, ns they were
responsible for ether persona' money
and could net condone any act which
put the funds entrusted te their care in
jeopardy.
"The crime win a flagrant one."
wrote Mr. Wayne. "Te grant the
offender a pardon would cause unfavor
able comment. A pardon cannot be
justified."
Other prominent bankers who wrote
were W. II. Mcliolsen, president et
the Laud Title and Trust Company;
Effingham B, Merris, president of the
Girard Trust Company; Jeseph L. Mc
Allister, president of the Franklin Na
tional Bank; W. A. Law, president
First Nntlenul Bank ; Frank A. Lewis,
president, Rcnl Estate Title and Trust
Company, and Charles E. Ingerenn,
president, Central National Bank.
In spite of this organized and power
ful opposition of the bankers, Mrs,
Williamson said she did net despair
of winning mercy for her husband.
"I have been fishtlng since he was
imprisoned," she said. "I have served
his sentence as much as he has him
self. I need him at home. My three
little boys need him. I am hopeful
tlat in spite of all the opposition of the
bankers, I will be nble te get my hus
band back again."
The Wi linmsens have three sons,
ten, eleven nnd twelve years old. Jesse
Williamson, 2d, before ills arrest for
embezzlement, was prominent in social
ami sporting circles.
Weman Asks Clemency
The case of Florence Duke, new serv
ing a long term for larceny and con
spiracy in connection with automobile
tncftB, win also come oetere tne Leam
this afternoon. She received a longer
sentence than any woman in the State
ever convicted of this charge. In 1010
she was sentenced te net less than
eleven years and eight months nor mere
than twelve years by Judge Monaghan
In. Philadelphia. She repeatedly refused
te disclose the identity of her associates
in crime. 'Her pardon al-e will be op ep op

The Beard of Inspectors of the East

William Webber, convicted murderer of
Heading, who has spent twenty-eight
years in a cell in Cherry Hill for the
murder et his father-in-law.
Belief Is expressed by the prison In

I slipped away," she said.
"I was treated fine nt thn tnm.

Washington, Nev. 22. The Pro
gressives will co-operate with the Re
publicans In the organization of the
Senate when the next Congress con
venes, provided the Republicans give
them the places which they want in the
Committees en Interstate Commerce
and Finance.
In each of these committees there
will be four vncuncies en the Repub
lican side. There are ten Republi
can members in each committee. Sena Sena
eor Ln Follette is a member of both,
ranking next te the Republican chair
man ln both cases. If the Progressives
should rnccivc ull four places In both
committees there would be five conserv
ative Republicans nnd five Progressive
Republicans en with committee. On
many Issues the seven Democratic
members of the committees would vote
with the Republican Progressives, thus
taking the control of thi committees
away from the regular Republicans.
These two committees will handle the
legislation In which Progressives are
most Interested. Before the Interstate
Commerce Committee will enmn i.
question of amending or repealing the
Esch-Cummins law, and this was one
ei tne major issues en which the mere
radical Senuters were elected. Befere
tne finance Committee will come the
question of amending the internal rev
enue luws and raising the rates en the
higher binckets of the Income taxes and
restoring the excess profits taxes. The
Democrats ns well as Progressives are
committed te this program.
Committee Blocs Forecast
These eight committee places will be
much In demanad.' And the remi'-.g
session will see the development of the
blocs in the organization of committees
Before the blues achieve their full cf
fectheness they must become able te
control the committees which nre es
sential te tbe carrying out of their
piesrnms.
The farm bloc undoubtedly will aim
nt the control of these two committees
and, as en questions of tnsutien nnd
railroads, It has mere in common with
the La Follette bloc thnn with the mere
conservative Republicans. It mnv com-
nine wun tne 1'regresslves te obtain the

The shortage of coal Is se serious that

city-wide condition.
In reply te a dozen inquiries directed
