Judge McCarrell Points Out a Way
to Get the Highways of
State Fixed Up
Xotwithstanding an opinion ren- i
3ered last night by Judge S. J. At. ]
McCarrell that the safety of the pub- '
lie on the State highways was of vastly ■
greater importance to the people of
the State than legal quibbling over an
appropriation clause in the motor ve
hicle act plans <vere made to-day by
counsel for Auditor General A. W. i
Powell and State Treasurer Robert K. j
Young to further obstruct repair of
the highways. As stated by the Har- j
risburg Patriot, which is interested [
in keeping the highways in a dilapi
dated state for political reasons, these
two officials have been contending :
with Attorney General Bell for months j
to prevent Highway Commissioner j
Bigelow from getting hold of the j
money which the mandate of the Leg- I
isjature stated should be used for ]
maintenance of the highways of the J
State system. The Patriot and these ;
two officials would sacrifice everything !
that runs over a State highway in or- \
der to get material to thump the State:
Highway Department.
Safety Paramount
Judge MeCarrell's opinion points out j
that safety of the public is para- |
mount. It also sets forth that the two :
fiscal officers who are so greatly con- i
cerned over "a grave constitutional :
question much talked about but never j
discussed before a judge." need have >
no fear of the terrors of the Todd act j
of I9ft9 If they comply with the in-1

Application For New Trial Was
Made Against His Protest

By Associated Press !
Reading, Pa.. July 9.—Frank F.
■ Schnabel was hanged here at 10:06
!a. m. to-day for wife murder. He |
I was pronounced dead at 10:15 by j
i strangulation. He went to the gal-1

The crime for which Schnabel was l
hanged was the brutal murder of hisl
wife a year ago. The couple, a middle |
aged pair, had been separated fori
some weeks. Schnabel's crime was I
i carefully planned. He bought a re- j
j volver, filled himself with liquor, laid j
'in wait for his wife in the streets and |
shot her without warning. He tried j
!to end his own life, but failed. He;
I showed no particular interest in hisl
i case at his trial and was quickly eon
i victed. A new trial was applied for
] against his protest. This was refused |
I by the court. Two weeks ago Schnabel
j called in a spiritual adviser and made
I preparations for his funeral,
j Only last night, his last on earth,
he said:
"Let the hereafter take care of it
self, I am not worried.','
j Continuing, he said, "What do I care
j about death, but—but, my children."
It has right along been apparent
that the time for his execution was of
; little concern to Schnabel. He was a
! carpenter by trade and a first class
| mechanic.

Mrs. Carman's case was expected to

there was little likelihood of an Indict

of Mayor Frank B. McClain to have

courts, and the Mayor, who is ex-of
ficio chairman of the committee, pre
sented a petition handed him by some

throw open the park for Sunday ath

feated It. The question of an "open"
Sunday in the city parks is becom
