NO MOVIE VIEWS
OF HALL'S HANGING
Theaters, Jail Officials and Sheriff
Also Deny Current
Story
Inquiry at all the city's moving pic
ture managements, Jail officials and
the sheriff developed the fact to-day
that there is no truth in the report
that a moving picture operator on
Wednesday took pictures of the exe
cution of Pascal Hall and would soon
place the reels on exhibition. It Is a
fact, however, that a "movie" operator
got a picture of the crowds in front
ot the jail and a picture of the re
moval of the gallows, some time after
the execution. However, these views,
it is said, are to be preserved from
a historical viewpoint, Inasmuch as the
execution of Halll may be the last
hanging in the county.
The report that a moving picture
series of the execution itself had been
taken got about pretty generally, how
ever. In this connection the Colored
Voters' Energetic League of Dauphin
County adopted resolutions decrying
the display of any moving pictures of
the hanging of Pascal Hall. Here are
the resolutions:
Whereas it has heen brought to our
attention that one or more of the mov
ing picture concerns of the city of
Harrisburg, having taken views of the
hanging of Pascal Hall in the court
yard of Dauphin county prison on
Wednesday, June 24, which vi-ws they
intend to display In the various mov
ing picture houses of the city, and
Whereas we think such pictures are
undoubtedly injurious to the morals
of the community, and
Whereas we, as the better class of
negroes of the city, regret the neces
sity of such hangings, and
Whereas we think that the sooner
such occurrances be forgotten the bet
ter for the body politic of the com
munity at large, be It
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Colored Voters' Energetic League
of the County of Dauphin, do vehe
mently protest against the exhibition
of these views, and invoke the aid of
all fair and right minded citizens, the
members of the Police Department,
the members of the City Council and
the State Board of Censorship in our
protest. (Signed)

Ma«y Interesting Features _
in 101 Ranch Wild West Show
CHIEF IRON TAIL
With 101 Ranch Show
Arrangements have been complet
ed for a return engagement, of Miller|
Brothers and Arlington's 101 Ranchi
Wild West show to Harrisburg Mon- j
day, July 6.
Particular interest attaches to the
coming of the 101 Ranch Wild West
Show this season because it is prob
able that several years will elapse be
fore. the next visit of this popular and
typical exhibition to this city. If ne
gotiations which are now pending are
completed it is probable that the show
will make an extensive tour of Eng
land, Continental Europe and other
countries.
In view of the return engagement
of the show, the management an
nounces that the exhibition still ad
heres to the original policy of pre- j
senting a characteristic wild west pro
gram, and eliminating circus features.
The only innovations are a band of
Cossacks, whose rough-riding furnish
es an interesting comparison to the j
riding of the American cowboys, and
the new auto polo sensation. This is I
a game of polo, in which racing ma- j
chines instead of ponies are utilized,!
and it is said to have created a furore
elsewhere. The wild west spirit is
retained, however, even in this feature,
for chauffeurs and mallet-men are all
cowboys and learned the trick of han-t

dling the machines and "fighting: for
the. balK' on the 101 Ranch at Bliss,
Oklahoma, last winter.
There is a romance about the old
days on the plains that can never be
entirely destroyed; the old frontiers
men, with their long hair and deerskin
coats; the trappers; the overland mail
coach drivers; the wild Indians of the
prairies—these all have their fascina
tion for the student of events as well
as for the lover of strenuous, whole
some amusement. But, after all, the
modern cowboy, although lacking in
the numbers that characterized the old
days, Is cleverer than the cowboy of
twenty years ago. There are roping
feats, exploited in the 101 Ranch
show, by cowboys and cowgirls, that
would have been considered outside
the range of possibility a few years
ago. There are tricks of riding—dare
devil exploits upon outlaw horses and
reckless disregard of life and limb
that have never hitherto been
equalled.
The 101 Ranch, it is announced,
offers an especially interesting con
gress this season. Ther are sixty-five
j Sioux Indians and a big company of
[ representatives from other noted
tribes, all led by Iron Tail, the old
Sioux chief, who is probably the best
known Indian in America. Iron Tail's
profile is on the new nickel.—Adver

Plans Are Being Made
For Reorganization
of H. B. Clafin Company
By Associated I'rcss
New York, June 27. —While no defi
nite plans have been decided upon
for the reorganization of the H. B.
Claflin company, which went into the
j hands of receivers on Thursday, three
possibilities are said to be under con
sideratino.
i The first of these provides for an
! actual consolidation of the Claflin
I chain of stores, instead of having the
i union vested in stock ownership by
.John Claflin. This plan would make
I the New York house in effect a pur-
I chasing agency for the retail stores
. and cut it off from relations with any
I other stores.
The second plan would retain the
I strong members of the group of
[ stores and provide for the liquidation
of the others.
The third proposal provides for the
taking over of the stores by the banks
of the cities in which they are located.
The banks would then determine
whether individual reorganization
j should bo brought about.
ISO STATE BANKS BECOME
RESERVE BANK MEMBERS
By Associated rrcss
Washington, D. C., June 27.—Kitty
State banks and trust' companies all
told have qualified for membership in
federal reserve banks as against 7,-
500 national banks.
This small number of State insti
tutions in the new federal banking
plan Is due chiefly to State laws for
bidding State banks to acquire stock
iin other corporations. There are only
twenty States In which the Treasury
Department officials are absolutely
certain it is possible for. State bank
ing Institutions to become members
of the new federal reserve banks
without some modification of the
laws.
