Billard, of more than $2,- 700.000 in a transaction in which he represented the New Haven and into which he invested not a dollar; the inability of Oakleigh Thorne to ac count for $1,032,000 of the funds of the New Haven intrusted to him in carrying out the West Chester pro position; the story of Mr. Mellen as to the distribution of $1,200,000 for cor rupt purposes in bringing about amenments of the West Chester and Port Chester franchises; the domina tion of all the affairs of this railroad by Mr. Morgan and Mr. Mellen and the absolute subordination of other members of the board of directors to the will of these two; the unwarrant ed increase of the New Haven lia bilities from $93,000,000 in 1903 to $417,000,000 in 1913; the increase in floating notes from nothing in 1903 to approximately $40,000,000 in 1913; the indefensible standard of business ethics and the absence of financial acumen displayed by eminent finan ciers in directing the destinies of this railroad in its attempt to establish a monopoly of the transportation of New England. A combination of all these has resulted in the present de plorahle situation in which the affairs OL thie railroad are involved.

Loe ser, chief counsel for Fleming, to ap peal his case to the Board of Pardons and ask for commutation of life im prisonment. Appeal from Judge McCarrell's re fusal of a new. trial will hardly be made to the Supreme Court of Penn sylvania, ..r. I.oeser said, as the de fense prefers to place the matteP finally before the Commonwealth's court of last resort. Fleming was convicted of having shot his mother-in-law. Mrs. Louisa Brlen, a year ago last May when she surprised him during the early morn ing hours kissing his sleeping wife and baby daughter, while he was making a sureptltious visit to the home of his mother-in-law. Will Bo the I.a>t Fleming's appearance In court was more or less of p. surprise to attorneys and the comparatively few witnesses and other spectato-s who had gath ered in cou-t room No. 1 for a brief session of sentence court. Fleming himself appeared bright and cheerful. Unlike his former appearance when X' e motion for a new trial was made he was shaven and held up his head clear-eyed and alert. Heretofore Fleming sat constantly with his head bowed on his breast ani never raised his eyes. Should Fleming's final effort to save himself from the gallows by appeal to the Board of Pardons prove vain, he will he the last man who will be exe cuted by hanging. Thereafter the condemned murderers will pay the law's penalty in the electric chair. Judge * McCarrell's opinion was comprehensive and dealt exhaustively with each of the points raised by the defense upon which it hoped to ob tain a new trial. Much of the opinion was given to overruling the "after discovered' evidence of Dr. Thomas Blair, the State's insanity expert. Dr. Blair, according to depositions taken by the defense had declared to wit nesses that he believed Fleming was a monomaniac. The Commonwealth denied this in a deposition by Dr. Blair in which he said he believed the defense v.ould have had a better chance had monomaniac been used. Fleming Thanks Judge Fleming said very little before sen tence was pronounced. He denied that he was a drunkard and declared that he was never in a house of question able character in his life, as had been intimated at his trial. "Why, judge, I made a good home for my wife," said he in conclusion, ! "and she did not appreciate that. She did not stay at home. She simply went out to saloons and such places where she went to drink. That is all I have to say. One thing more," and the youthful prisoner's voice shook a little, "I wish somebQdy would take my little child and—well, that is all. Thank you." The sentence was pronounced and a deputy sheriff led Fleming back to his cell. Fleming's aged mother in Ireland now knows of her son's plight, it is said. Want Man Declared Dead; Left in 1880 Before Judges Kunkel and McCar rell this morning a hearing was held to determine whether or not James Calder Weltter is legally dead. He left heer in ISBO and an estate valued at several hundred dollars is awaiting administration by his heirs. Among the witnesses who told of the disap pearance of Welter was his daughter, who was horn shortly after her father left here. She never saw him. At torney T. Ralph Jacobs, Carlisle, con ducted the hearing. The dispute over the question of how much Dauphin county should pay for the repairs to the inter-Perry-Dau phin county bridge over the Juniata opposite Clarks Ferry was settled to day when the county agreed to pay Perrv its share, amounting to $1,429.21. Mandamus proceedings instituted by the city against the county to compel the construction of bridges over Pax ton creek at Relly, Cumberland and Walnut streets will be argued at a time to be fixed by the court. John H. Alrlcks was appointed mas ter in partition proceedings Involving SI,OOO in the estate of Jacob Steven son. Dauphin. Jeremiah H. Dough erty, Royalton. was appointed tax col lector and his bond of $1,491 was ap proved. Gets From 7 to 10 Years in Eastern Penitentiary! From seven to ten years in the Eastern Penitentiary and finest aggre gating $4,000 was the sentence im posed to-day upon James C. Gross by President Judge Kunkel. Gross was sentenced upon eight separate counts growig out of alleged criminal attacks upon as many small hoys. In Febru ary, 191S, Gross finished a term of four years and one month in the State's prison for .the same offense. William Herbert was directed to pay SIU per month toward the sup port of his son who is confined In an institution for children. Herbert's wife brought the charge and during an altercation between the two before the far the wife cuttingly Inquired whether it wasn't a fact "that Herbert had a wife in England from whom he was never divorced?"

The book was acquired in 1909 from Miss Sallie Har ris. a descendant of the founder of | Harrisburg.

July 13.—Secre tary Bryan issued a statement to-day defending the proposed treaty to settle j differences between the United States , and Colombia over the separation of Panama. The treaty has been vigor ously opposed in the Senate and ex-President Roosevelt has attacked it as a vehicle for the payment of "black mail." Mr. Bryan declared it was necessary to discuss the fact that an estrange ment exists and not the events which gave rise to the differences, and that, regardless of whether Colombia has a Just grievance against her more pow erful neighbor, no one would deny that the former country sustained a con siderably greater financial loss than the $25,000,000 which the United States would pay under the treaty, through the separation of Panama. As to the expression of regret on the part of the American government, to which opponents of the pending convention offer their bitterest objection, the Sec retary said this was almost identical with a similar expression in the Du Bois memorandum, on the basis of which the Taft administration unsuc cessfully sought to placate Colombia.

CHARCOAL FUMES END HOUND LIVES Cruelty Officers Want City to Electrocute Animals; No Change Likely Hops captured last week by City Dogcatcher William Layton, wore put to death In the pound this morning by James Martin and his assistant, Harry Harp. Charcoal fumes did the work and It Is estimated that from three to five minutes time was re quired to end the life of each doomed canine. • Considerable Interest was attached I to the killing to-day, this being the) first of the season, and because the S. P. C. A. believes that electricity would provide a more humane way of ending the dogs' lives than char coal fumes. Special Officer Samuel Cunkle, of the society, and Colonel Hutchison were present to witness the event. Colonel Hutchison said that j he does not believe any other means i of killing will be adopted in this city j because the ordinance provides for < the manner in which the animals shall | be put to death. The society, however, ! will continue to push Its case and j asked the City Council to substitute ; electricity for charcoal. With the for- | mer, a dog is dead as soon as the cur- ! rent is turned on. With charcoal it 1 takes from three to six minutes. While at the pound this morning i Colonel Hutchison ordered that an other pen be constructed in which , small dogs must be kept until the time j when they can he put to death. Of the more than forty dogs In the pound j this morning several of them were j very large and these snapped and bit savagely at the smaller canines. Al-: most all of these dogs were put to death this morning. Cafcher Layton continued his work I to-day and in less than three hours he j captured nine dogs and sustained six bites. Some Facts of Regional Reserve Directors Mlllernton n Hunk Cnnhlor \\ rites About the Scramble for Olreotor ■hlpa J. E. Rounsley, cashier of the First National Bank, of Millerstown. writes in commendation of the criticism of the scramble for directorships in the Regional Reserve Bank. He says in part: "Men without the necessary broad, big banking experience and men whose geographical location will not permit their attendance at the board meetings are soliciting the votes of electors on the ground that they are officers of or are associated with small banks. "The attempt to line up country hanks against broad gauge Phlladel- Filila bankers as such Is as unworthy as t is shortsighted. It is a truism that we are all deeply Interested as pjatri otlc citizens in the success of the new banking system. .As investors in re gional bank stock we are desirous of having the highest rate of Income per mitted under the law. To direct intel ligently and efficiently such an institu tion as the new bank aspires to be will require the services of large calibered men.
