LOCAL CASES ARE HELD OVER AGAIN March and Pennington Re fused Recommendation For a Further Hearing The Slate Hoard of Pardons last night announced that it had held over for the present the application for pardon of John Eckert, sentenced to two and a half to ten years in prison in the eastern penitentiary at Phila delphia on charges of robbery com mitted in this city. The case will be investigated as it. was brought out that Eckert had not taken anything, but had entered the place apparently while drunk. The police department had brought the Information. The board also held over the application of H. R. -Mercer for a rehearing on the forgery charge, it being stated that he desired to be pardoned so that he could face other charges. The board refused a rehearing to George H. March and Roland S. Pen nington. of Delaware county, and they will be electrocuted in the new penitentiary in Center county on Mon day for the murder of S. Lewis Pink erton two and a half years ago. The two men were refused clemency last year and refused a rehearing in De cember. Argument on the applications for rehearing lasted two and a half hours concluding at 6 o'clock last night. It was the most attended argument ever heard on such applications and was marked by continued questioning of the attorneys by members of the board and discussion of their points. For March it was contended that he had gone insane since conviction and for Pennington that he was a youth with undeveloped mentality, that he was influenced by March and that he was without a motive for the crime. A letter from Judge Johnson, of Media, was presented, stating that commuta tion would meet approval of a large portion of the community and of him self, together with other letters and petitions. The members of the board took the position that both men had been given fair trial with all the safe guards possible, that nothing had been shown to prove their mental irre sponsibility and that the cases had been reviewed by the supreme court and considered by the board. The board struck from its list the application of George Lee, Philadel phia, commuted in 1911 and asking pardon, and continued the case of James Reill.v, Philadelphia, for one month. Frank P. Smith, Northamp ton, was refused pardon after serving seven years for second degree murder with comment during the hearing by Lieutenant Governor McClain that murder was becoming too common and too much sentiment shown in seeking pardons. Action on other cases was as fol lows: Refused -—■ Martin Notch, man slaughter, Schuylkill; Vincent Loxter mftn, robbery, Allegheny; George Hinks, second degree murder, Schuyl- Icill; James Hogan, assault and bat tery, Philadelphia; Edward Kepp, arson, Northampton.

First: Lawrence A. Hetrick has returned to his executive post with a wealth of new ideas in superior custom tailoring. CJ Second: Their shop at 22 South Fourth Street, destroyed by fire, is replaced by new quar ters at 19 South Fourth Street. Cfl Ten years ago Mr. Hetrick and George W. Geistwhite started the first young men's custom tailor shop in Harrisburg. €J To-day the spirit of youth still clings to gar ments fashioned by Hetrick & Geistwhite. Neither tailor has grown old. €| Men clad by Hetrick & Geistwhite, who are old in years, still haVe youth conveyed in their clothes. Eight years Mr. Hetrick tailored. Then for two years he mingled among men who dress well and want to dress better. <3l Now, Mr. Hetrick knows what customers want when they are unable to express them selves. He has been one of them. €J And the youth rejuvenated by Mr. Hetrick's vacation is reflected in his garments. He makes better clothes. <| The new lease on tailoring youthfulness with which Hetrick & Geistwhite start their second business decade is well housed. IJ The new home of the partners at 19 South Fourth Street lacks no detail of tailoring facility nor convenience. <| Mr. Hetrick and Mr. Geistwhite, again the tailoring team of Hetrick & Geistwhite, each welcome you to their new headquarters. HETRICK & GEISTWHITE MERCHANT TAILORS 19 South Fourth Street SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG tgSgfltt TELEGRAPH! JANUARY 22, 1916. SUNFISH AFFORD | EXCELLENT SPORTi Commissioner Buller Says the Family Is the Fisher men's . Delight Pennsylvania fishermen can obtain no end of enjoyment during the period when results of "planting" of trout and development of black bass are being awaited by fishing for sunfish, according to Commissioner of Fish eries N. R. Buller. The commissioner, who has been traveling about the State making ob servations of conditions of fish and opportunities for this year, to-day issued this statement: "There are few fishes which afford so much entertainment and sport as do the family of sunflshes, this being specially true as to women and chil dren, to whom the taking of sunfish is an ever-continuous joy and delight. There are quite a number of species of these fish, varying in size, but all of them are gamey and ever ready to take the hook, thus giving the amateur a chance which he gets from few or no other fish, "The aristocrat of the sunfish family is the blue gill sunfish, which abounds in Lake Erie. This fish grows from three-quarters of a pound to a pound in weight and as an edible fish has no superior, while it is so gainey within certain limits that the daintiest of fly fishers does not disdain to fish for it for sport. It Is very productive and will thrive in any pure water. "Appreciating the value of this fish for food and sport, the department is making great efforts to raise the blue gill in quantities so that they may lie disseminated in all the waters of the State. There are many small hod ies of water in the State which would render large returns in the way of food if restocked with the blue gills instead of the black bass, which the average person seems to think would be tlie fish that he wants in the water. The yield of blue gills would be thousands of pounds in a year where it would not be hundreds of pounds if black bass were planted. In the case of Ihe blue gills It not only means food, but more sport for more people." Steam Laundries in This City Worth Quarter Million The capitalization of steam laun ' dries in this city is more than a quar ter of a million dollars, according to i figures compiled by the Bureau of j Census of the Department of Com- J merce for the year 1914. This is an j increase of almost SIOO,OOO over the i total capitalization for 1909 when one I more establishment was being operated The amount received for work done in the laundries in this city totaled $281,- 558, an increase of almost SIOO,OOO in five years. Eight establishments were in existence at the time these figures were obtained, and were under the control of 11 proprietors. Thirty-six salaried employes and SI6 wage-earners were employed in the work receiving in payment for ser vices $1 48,232. Philadelphia leads the State In the number employed in this industry with Pittsburgh second and Harrisburg third. Harris burg also stands fourth In the amount re ceived for work done, ranking close to Scranton. The report for the State shows a substantial gain In the In dustry In the five-year period from 1909 to 1914.

The Harrisburg Mummers, through the daily press, desire to know the feeling on the proposed change of the annual celebration from New Year's day to Hallowe'en. Suggestions are requested. Many persons have advocated chang ing the date of holding the parade | on account of the great danger of the : participants contracting severe colds, due to inclement weather, such as often accompanies the advent of New Year's Day. It is also pointed out that the vast majority of those who now take part in the Hallowe'en festivities would gladly join in such a procession if held at a time in the year when they would not he subjected to the cold weather, possibly snow and ice and disagreeable marching conditions In the streets. •" | Giving Notice of the Great- Half-Yearly Sale of Pianos at The Wanamaker Store, Philadelphia, Next Monday At the outstart of this Sale, we shall have ready on our floors for you to ®elect from, more than four hundred pianos and player-pianos, of which two hun dred and fifty-four are marked at low special prices, for instant disposal.
