GALLOWS WILL NOT
MARX PASSING OF
MURDERERAFTERALL
Pascal Hall Expects to Remain
Here to Worry Those Who
Testified Against Him
Long after the scaffold drop has
been sprung and Pascal Hall has ap
parently paid the law's penalty for the
highest crime against the State he will
still loiter 'way up amid the dimmer
shadows of the ceils and corridors of
the Dauphin county Jail.
Thus he may always and always
worry those who had anything to do
with sending him to the gallows.
That is Pascal Hall's firm belief,
and that Is the reason he does not
want to go to Heaven. If his spirit
goes winging into eternity he is confi
dent he cannot come back; If it re
mains within the barred gray walls
of the prison It can annoy those he
considers his enemies all It pleases.
And this Is as Pascal Hall would wish
It.
"Tier S," Murderer's Row
Leaning against the bars of cell No.
"4" on the sinister "tier S," Pascal
Hall to-day told his reasons for not
earing so much for spiritual advice
and counsel of a minister, and why he
doesn't want "to go"—and why he
thinks he is not going to go.
Some time between 10 o'clock In
the morning and noon of May 26 Pas
cal Hall will march down the steps
of the jail and out into the jail yard
for the last time. A few minutes later
he will have paid the law's claim for
shooting Henry Slater, a fellow ne
gro.
But, as Hall himself said it—
"Yes, sah, but that jus' what they
can do with mah body. What they
does with it Ah don't know, nor don't
care. Fo' Ah'm not GOIN' TO GO!
Then the typically Southern negro,
ignorant, unread, but cunning and
shrewd discussed his crime and trial
and declared bitterly that it wasn't
right for him to be hanged and that
"they who spoke against him, had
lied." Over and over again he de
clared that he "is coming back."
The Return of Pascal Hall
"It ain't right fo' them to take me
out there In that yard—and well, you
know. It ain't right. An' Ah don't
want to go. Fact is Ah ain't goin.'
1 did shoot Slater. But Ah didn't want
to do It—and it ain't right for them
to go on the stand and say as how
Ah did.
"But you've been convicted and the
law's penalty must be paid. Now
that you must go wouldn't It be bet
ter for you to realize it, don't you
want to go to Heaven?"
"No, sah," the great-grandson of the
voodoo man of the South Carolina cot
ton fields grinned broadly and rolled
his eyes. "No, sah, Ah don't want to
go to no Heaven—cause If Ah do. Ah
can't nevah come back."
"What will you do?"
"Why, sah, Ah just' come back —
fact Is sah, Ah ain't a-goin' at all. Ah
'm goin' to stay—"
"What for?"
And Then Watch 'em Go!
"Well," vaguely, "those that have
anything to do with my goin' down
there in the yard, they'll see me!"
"What will you do then? Chase
'em ?"
"Me, chase 'em? No, sah!" The
prisoner threw back his head and
laughed. "Ah'll just stand there way
up in the shadows and just laugh and
laugh—and they'll chase 'emselves!"
Hail says that sort of things rather
runs in the family, hat scheme of the
spirits of the Halls who have been
wronged and died and who come back
to earth to worry and worry those
who had treated them so shabbily on
earth.
Pascal himself was never bothered;
he wouldn't deliberately hurt anyo'ne,
not even a dog, ho said. "And be
cause It ain't right fo' to treat me so,
that is why Ah'm going to never give
'em no peace—"
"And so you're coming back?"
"Oomln' back? No, sah. 'Cause Ah
ain't a-goin'!"
WIS DEPARTMENT
TO CALL MILITIA
[Continued From First Page]
soon the New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio troops could be put in motion, in
their present condition, without delay
that would be necessitated by recruit
ing them up to full war strength. In
the theoretical organization of the
militia the Pennsylvania and New
York State each make up a full tac
tical division. They are the only States
supplying a full division quota Ohio
combines with Michigan to fill a di
vision and the other divisions are
made up of several States each.
Huerta Complains
In the midst of the military prepa
rations came definite word that the
mediating envoys had received from
General Huerta and submitted to the
United States government complaint
that new landing of American troops
and war material at Vera Cruz
amounted to a breaking of the armis
tice which had been arranged bv the
South American diplomats after 'their i
good offices in the Mexican crisis had
been accepted by General Huerta and
the United States. This also was one
of the subjects before the Cabinet.
Secretary Bryan stated early in the
day that the mediators' note had been
received by him and that reply would
be made.
Meantime it was authoritatively
learned from a source close to the
mediators that they are of the opinion
they will be able to persuade General
Huerta that the United States has not
been volatlng, in spirit at least, the
armistice which had been agreed upon.
Otherwise a stumbling block would be
placed in their way which might ren
der virtually useless their further
efforts at mediation.
The note from General Huerta al
leging violation by the United States
of the armistice it was ascertained,
reached the mediators, who are work
ing in the utmost possible secrecy, day
before yesterday and was presented
by them at once to Secretary Bryan.
Refuse to Comment
The mediators themselves declined
to comment in any way on the matter
but it is known that they are proceed
ing with their peace plan as If nothing
untoward had happened, expecting to
see the armistice controversy cleared
away soon. They were In conference
during the day discussing their plan,
which is o include. It has been
learned, the constitutional side of the
Mexican problem and the pacification
of all Mexico.
A delegation of Tamplco oil men
who yesterday conferred with Secre
tary of the Navy Daniels to-day vis
ited Secretary Bryan and urged meas
ures ofr the protection of the oil prop
erties in the disturbed section around
Tampico. The conference was ex
tended and while it was on Oharpe
O'Shaughnessy who called nt the State
Department, waa unable to to see the
secretary. He left, saying: he would
return later in the day.
When Secretary Bryan left the cabi
net meeting he said that no reply had
yet been formulated to the Huerta
communication forwarded by the me
diators, elating: to the armlstlc. In
the Huerta message, he stated, the
(luestlou was raised as to the sending
of the army to take the place of naval
forces at Vera Cruz.
Asked if the unusual activity of the
«ar Department since the receipt of
General Funaton'a cipher dispatch
last night signified any change of
policy on the part of the United States
toward Mexico, Mr. Brvan said that he
could not discuss the affairs of the
\Yar Department.
Other members on leaving the meet
ing said that it was understood that
the entire question of dealing with the
situation at Vera Cruz had been left
J® the hands of the War Department.
This followed the position taken by
several of the secretaries during the
consideration of the Mexican situation
that the United States was fully within
its rights in any movement to reinforce
the troops now in Vera Cruz to any
extent deemed necessary, despite the
armistice attendant upon the media
tion negotiations. It was pointed out
that the armistice would not operate
against the concentration of troops on
territory already occupied by the
United States.
Secretary Garrison said that the in
formation coming to the War Depart
ment from Mexico City was through
refugee sources and that no official
or diplomatic correspondence had
been received bearing out the refugee
reports.
Charge O'Shaughnessy conferred
with Secretary of State Bryan and
with the secretary to the President,
Mr. Tumulty. He will not see Presi
dent Wilson for a day or two.
Pennsylvania Awaits
Call From President
Officials at National Guard head
quarters said to-day that everything
was in readiness to respond to a call
for State troops from the President
and that preparations begun months
ago had been completed. Full in
formation has been furnished to the
War Departmentregardingthe strength
and equipment of the State troops and
on his recent visit to Washington Ad
jutant General Stewart outlined the
mobilization plans which have long
been prepared.
The Pennsylvania militia has been
awaiting a call ever since the Mexican
situation became acute and could be
mobilized in a short time at Mount
Gretna or whatever point should be
designated.
Governor Tener is in Philadelphia,
but officers here are In touch with the
situation. General J. B. Coryell, com
manding the Fourth compris
ing the Fourth. Sixth and Eighth In
fantry, was here to-day to see Guard
officials.
Garrison Has Plan to
Move More Troops Into
Vera Cruz For Funston
Washington, D. C„ May B.—lt has
been learned on high authority that
the War Department had under con
sideration to-day early and adequate
reinforcement of the command of Gen
eral Funston at Vera Cruz, to carry
out any movement that might be nec
essary into the interior of Mexico. The
question of placing a large force of
Americans in Vera Cruz, that would
be strong enough to defend that port
against any attack, or to undertake
a possible campaign against Mexico
City, was later laid before the Presi
dent and his Cabinet by Secretary of
War Garrison.
War Department officials, it was
stated, decided that reinforcements
were needed at Vera Cruz at the late
conference of Secretary Garrison and
the general staff last night. The Sec
retary and his advisers went over the
entire military situation at Vera Cruz
and other points in Mexico before
reaching this decision.
Secretary Garrison called the con
ference after a cipher telegram from
vera Cruz had been delivered to him
at the White House, where he was at
tending the wedding of the President's
daughter. He left the festivities hur
riedly and summoned his aids to the
War Department.
Protect Americans
Among dispatches received was one
which reported the firing of two oil
wells at Tampico. The protection of
American lives and property, it was
stated was the prime motive behind the
determination of army and navy of
ficers that the American forces in
Mexico should be reinforced.
Secretary Garrison declined to dis
cuss the situation nor would he com
ment on his conference with the staff
officers last night further than to say
that he laid before them a report from
General Funston. In this report it
was said. General Funston had em
bodied accounts brought to Vera Cruz
by refugees arriving from Mexico Citv
concerning the situation in the capital
Mr. Garrison would not reveal the
character of these reports.
"All X can say Is that no additional
troop movements have been ordered,"
said Secretary Garrison, adding that
he would make no prediction concern
ing possible future orders.

POLITICAL ADVERTISING POLITICAL ADVERTISING POLITICAL ADVERTISING POLITICAL ADVERTISING
Mayor Cauffiel's Platform
"THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA"
I am opposed to the re-election of
Boies Penrose as Senator from Penn
sylvania. I will be opposed to him
whether nominated or not. His activ
ities have typified the kind of politi
cian no longer needed in our public
life. His defeat at the polls will mean
a new day for the political life of our
State and country.
Intoxicating liquor is the cause of
most, if not quite all of the miseries
of our people. It's ravages have filled
the jails, asylums and poor houses of
our State. Our taxpayers have been
taxed beyond measure to take care of
the poverty and misfortune caused by
it. Liquor dealers have combined
forces with the political bosses and
exploiters of the people's rights to de
feat every progressive measure de
manded by the people. The time will
be called blessed when Pennsylvania
can say that no intoxicating liquors
can be made or sold within her bor
ders. If nominated and elected, I
will use every means within my pow
er to suppress this nefurious traffic.
America has been made great by the
close co-operation of its men and
women. Women, since the founda
tion of the Republic, have shared
equally with the men the perils of
early frontier life, and the disappoint
ments and pleasures of our later in
dustrial times. They pay a large part
ot the taxes, direct and indirect, but
they have no voice in the expenditure
of these vast sums of money. The
State needs their tact and experience
;n its larger spheres of education and
civic life. I favor, by all means, the
approval by the next Legislature of
an amendment to the State constitu
tion which will grant to the women
full and equal suffrage.
During the last session of the Leg
islature, a combination of politicians,
liquor men and certain business inter
ests prevented the passage of a bill,
fair alike to all concerned, which was
designed to remove some of the bur
dens incident to our industrial life.
Our State has prospered wonderfully
by exploiting her bountiful natural
resources of coal, timber, oil and min
erals. Accidents, mostly unavoidable,
have happened which have brought
sorrow and distress to many a humble
home, since the State has never made
fying all:
"Daniel A. Haggerty, an Irishman,
a descendant of those who marched
with Patrick Cleburne from the South
and Phil Sheridan fromthe North.
"John Schumacher, the German, the
descendant of those who fought for
any adequate provision for the relief
of industrial accidents. The "fellow
servant-rule" adopted by our courts
in considering accident cases has sent
many a workingman to the almshouse
or grave and scattered his little fam
ily to the four corners of the earth.
The State has been the greater loser,
for most good citizens are the product
of united and happy homes. I favor
a workingman's compensation act
which will distribute the burdens of
the industrial accidents over the whole
wealth of the State. An act of this
nature can be made fair and just and
it is due and owing to all workingmen.
No greater crime can a common
wealth commit than to deprive the
children of proper education or to
permit grinding toil to overshadow
the spring-time of life. Certain man
ufacturers have taken advantage of
the lax child labor laws of Pennsyl
vania to exploit shamefully the lives
of those who should be in school.
The bills designed to correct these
abuses and which were defeated by
the politicians during the last session
of Legislature should be re-Introduced
and passed.
The heritage of every child in the
United States should be free educa
tion in the public schools. The school
house should stand at the head of our
State and national polity. The allow
ance for public school purposes ought
not depend upon appropriations alone,
but should rest on a public school
fund. I favor the foundation of such
a fund by the State, that it might grow
meeting the needs of this increasingly
important institution.
Conservation of national resources
Is a State as well as a national issue.
Pennsylvania has already made a
splendid start In acquiring Urge for
est preserves. This policy should be
continued and extended so as to cover
tracts which have been cut over by
lumber interests. For every tree cut
down the State should see that at least
two are planted. This policy should
give us a permanent timber reserve
and afford protection to our soil and
water supply. Our State has many
streams suitable for the development
of water power. Proper laws should
be passed to permit the use of tills
water power, but at no time should
these rights be permitted to be mon
us under Steuben.
"George Poinsett, of the generation
• of those who marched with Lafayette,
and
"Samuel Meisenberg, the Jew, the
child of a people without a country,
but now a son saluted by every na
opollzed or be used to oppress the
public.
Pennsylvania by name and position
has stood as the keystone of the union.
It deserves every consideration from
the national government for loyalty,
and Philadelphia has taken the lead
in this devotion to liberty. It has
been well defined by the United States
officials that great improvements to
League Island Navy jfards have been
prevented by the "pig styes" main
tained by certain gang politicians
from South Philadelphia. The State
at large demands this naval base and
It should assist the government In
getting these improvements. The
State should aid Philadelphia in con
structing a thirty-foot ship channel to
sea. Our manufactures and business
would be greatly increased by having
a seaport accessible to steamers of
large draught.
We should have equalization of tax
ation. The larger corporations of this
Commonwealth should pay their por
tion of taxes in proportion to the far
mer and the private property owners.
I favor home rule for all municipal
ities in line with the recent amend
ment to the constitution of the State
of Ohio.
We should have an amendment to
the constitution giving the citizens
the right of initiative, referendum
and recall. The people should have,
the same right to recall any official]
or officials elected by them, as any,
corporation who employs labor has
the right to discharge those who prove
incompetent and disloyal. The long, j
cumbersome method of inpeachmenti
Is impracticable with Its delays and 1
technicalities. The way to get rid of
incompetents and others is to "fire,"
and the simple remedy of the recall
can be applied anytime to any office.
We should have more public high
ways throughout the State. 'Each and
every county should have their pro
portionate share of the highways to
be built by the State, to he paid out of
a general fund, but directed by the
people of the county in which the
roads are built, and not hy any politi
cal machine or set of politicians. The
right and power should be placed In
the hands of the people who pay the 1
taxes.
One of the great abuses of the Com
wonwealth has been the hotchpotch
scheme of distributing the State funds
for charitable purposes. This method
has been used by politicians to fore®
independent legislators to vote against
the best Interests of the citizens, since
these appropriations are marie at the
end of the session of the Legislature.
A State board of charities should be
formed so that this money could be
distributed equitably and this abuse
corrected.

The soldiers of Pennsylvania hava

throughout the country as "gang poli-.
ttclans." They have not hesitated ta
accept large sums secretly from cor
rupt sources, and use these against
the best Interests of the taxpayers oi
the Commonwealth.
For the first time in the history ol
the Commonwealth, the people have
an opportunity to select their own
men to serve them. I feel the office
of Governor should find the man anq
not the man find the office. The peo<
pie of Pennsylvania have had twenty*
five years or more with from one to
six men saying who shall represent
the seven or eight millions of citizens.
Every citizen now lias the right to
vote for his choice. No man can hava
the best interests of the citizens at
I heart and at the same time A'jend
more of his money to be
office than the office pays In
Any man who will associate himsel(
with the past political system that haa
dominated in this Commonwealth
against the rights of our people,
should be scrutinized very closely by
the voters of the State. He should
state very frankly what can be expect
ed of him should he be elected to of
fice.
If my nomination and election must
depend upon the support from the
gang and liquor men and patrons ol
the red light district, I never want
the nomination or election.
I am opposed to the above bunch
with all the force that God can give
to man. The same force and energy
should be In all the veins of every cit
izen In this Commonwealth who loves
his wife, family and neighbors and
their prosperity, and above all they
should have love for God and their
native State.
If they nominate and elect me, I as
sure the citizens of Pennsylvania, I
will be the Governor for the people.
