n summing up his opinion, Judge
nkel says: /
The Court's Conclusion,
The film of the whole matter
leems to us to be this: The Leg
slaturo of 1007 intended to amend
he act of April 10, 1905, in two
>articulat"s, (1) In respect to thu
>rigin of the order for the elec
lon, and (2) In respect to tho
nanner of voting and the form
if tjie ballots; and it accomplished
his object, not by one enact
nent embracing both amend
nents, but by the two independ
int statutes of April 15 and May
18, 1907. It is true that this ob
ect was at first accomplished by
he former statute, for it con
ained both amendments, but af
erwards the amendment relating
o the manner of voting was en
icted by means of the latter stat
it.e in somewhat different form.
?y the construction we have
tdopted effect Is given to both
.cts, in conformity to the rule that
chere two acts relating to the
ame subject matter are passed
it the same legislative session
hey are to be construed together,
f possible, so as to give effect to

OBTAIN NEW AFFIDAVITS
Boy Who Delivered Mysterious
Note to Judge Goff Halted
in Court Room
By Associated Press
New York April 11.—Counsel for
the four gunmen doomed to die at
Sing Sing prison Monday for the mur
der of Herman Rosenthal made a final
plea for their clients before Supreme
Court Justice John W. Gcfff to-day.
The justice, who had presided at the
trial, agreed last night to this eleventh
hour procedure on the representation
of counsel that new evidence had been
discovered tending to show that the
prisoners were not the real murderers.
District Attorney Whitman, rushing
here from Chicago, appealed to op
pose the mtftfon for a new trial. The
hearing was set for noon in the Judge's
chambers, but was transferred at the
last moment to the Supreme Court
proper. There was some' delay in
starting.
Charles G. F. Wahle, chief of coun
sel for the prisoners, said that seven
new affidavits had been obtained, but
that the signers of only three of them
would be called upon to testify. He
added that all sorts and conditions of
persons had volunteered various bits
of evidence; that counsel had run
down many of these stories only to
find a majority false.
lloaring Interrupted
The proceedings were interrupted
here when Judge Goff ordered a young
'nun who delivered a note to him
stopped before ho could leuvo the
room. The man was placed on the
witness stand. He said he was Gus
tave Beck und that he had coinc to the
court to deliver a note to E. B. M.
Browne a rabbi who has been working
in Ihe gunmoi's behalf. The note had
been handed to him In the hall of the
courthouse, he explained. That was
all he knew about it.
Rabbi Browne, on the stand, said
that he had been working In the gun
men's behalf at the request of several
Jewish societies. He disclaimed all
knowledge of the mysterious note the
voung man had delivered and its con
tents were not made public at this
time. The rabbi read it, but would
say only "it is a secret."
Carl 'Dresner, a bartender and
signer of an affidavit stating that he
had seen the notorious informers. Jack
Rose, "Bridgie" Webber, Harry Vail on
and others speeding away in the au
tomobile from the scene of the Rosen
thal murder, was called to the stand.
Indications were that the hearing
would be protracted and perhaps
stretch into a night session.

TENER WILL FIND
OUT THE ASSETS OF
KEYSTONE STATE
Commissioners Selected to Ap
praise the Property Owned
by the Commonwealth
In line with his policy of giving the
State of Pensylvania a business ad
ministration, Governor John K. Tener
has directed' that an inventory of the
assets of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania be made io, in addition to
addressing the next Legislature in the
customary manner on the finances, ha
will be able to tell the lawmakers
just what the State Is worth. As far
as known no inventory of the posses
sions of the Commonwealth has ever
been made, and several times in the
course of his administration, during
which the State's sinking fund went
ahead of the outstanding debt, the
Governor has tried to ascertain whore
and what are the assets of the State
and what they are worth to-day.
For years the Legislatures have gone
on appropriating millions after mil
lions for public buildings and works,
charitable and educational institutions
and making permanent improvements
without anyone working out the in
vestment, although, judging from the
continued demand for State aid, there
must have been good returns.
In order to ascertain the assets the
Governor has named as a commission
Samuel C. Todd, the executive con
troller and one of the best posted men
on departmental affairs; Samuel B.
RSBafco, Superintendent of PutUic
Großtoa and Buildings, and Charles
Deputy Auditor Gen
eral, .as a commission to make up the

I the collector of the State committee
and that free transportation is being

Gladstone and
Advertising
Gladstone once defined adver
tising as the marvelous power of
constant reiteration.
That happy phrase offers an
explanation of the wonderful
power of the newspaper as a
business-builder. The power of
reiteration continued from day
to day Is possessed by the news
paper alone among advertising
media.
The newspaper enters the
home as a friend every day.
It is read by every member of
the family. It Is possible for a
business to have Its name and
Its appeal before the people all
the time.
They grow to know It.
Whenever they have a want
tq be supplied ihey turn to the
needed article which they liavo
known through newspaper ad
vertising as naturally as they
would turn to an old friend.
The Bureau of Advertising,

vantage. Correspondence is so
