Pardon Board Will
Give Decision on Man
Sentenced to Be Hanged
Appeals were made to the State
Board of Pardons to-day for commu
tation to life imprisonment of the
sentence of Martin Leskowsky, of
Carbon county, the last man sentenc
ed to be hanged In Pennsylvania. The
crime was committed in 1904, before
the electrocution act was passed, and
consequently hanging was specified as
the method of punishment.
In behalf of the convicted man it
was urged that there was uncertainty
as to whether he was guilty, and ex-
Judge Heydt, who tried the case,
wrote that the ends of justice would
be met by commutation. No attention
was paid to a flood of letters protest
ing against the hanging. In the
course of the appeal it was stated
that after broke jail at
Maunch Chunk he fled to Montana
and then to California. where he
owns a farm, and that he is also in
terested In Arizona copper minis. It
was while he was suffering from in
juries received in helping to rescue
men in a mine that he was Identified
in a hospital and arrested.
A decision will be given to-night
by the board, which has a long list of
cases, including several murder ap
plications and an appeal for a re
bearing for Henry Ward Mottern, Jef
ferson county boy murderer.

"There's a Reason"
FAKE SAUSAGE IS
UNDER FOUST BAN
Arrests Will Follow Sale of
Goods Which Contain Too
Much Water and Flour
The state has declared war on
"hot dogs" containing water and
flour instead of meat and in con
junction with the federal authorities
will extend its campaign against can
ning compounds containing boric
acid to the "padded" frankfurter, the
egg substitute and the worm-Infested
patent food. Dairy and Food Com
missioner James Foust announced to
day that he had arranged with the
United States, government help stop
the shipment of articles under the
ban into Pennsylvania.
"We are trying to prevent these
fakes from being foisted on mer
chants. The legitimate dealers of
the state are confronted with bad
conditions and the consumers are
deceived, which makes trouble all
around," said the commissioner.
"The alleged egg savers and sub
stitutes are really little more than
cornstarch, and as for canning com
pounds, we have turned up some
which have contained nothing else
than boric acid."
"It is a plain outrage what people
are being made to pay for sausage
which contains more water and flour
than pork. I have found that the
adulterated sausages have come
mainly from the West and the an
alyses have shown not only water in
excess of what should be contained,
but cereals, vegetable flour and coal
tar dyes as well as boric acid. We
have reports now of sausage contain
ing 65 per cent, meftt, 30 per cent
water and 5 per cent, potato flour,
the latter to take up the water. This
'stuff has been sold to our agents as
pure pork sausage. Not only is it
a swindle, but we are not always
sure of the meat and sausage made
of such combinations decomposes or
becomes contaminated. People who
work off such alleged foods on the
public are not going to get any con
sideration."
Commissioner Foust said that tests
of cider being sold in central coun
ties had shown it to have what he
termed "an awful kick" and that
four arrests had been ordered at
Brookville and vicinity for sale of
hard cider with over 8 per cent,
alcohol. More samples are being
investigated and arrests are likely.

Dangerous Gas and Acids That i
Hurt the Stomach—Sour the Food
Cause Dyspepsia, Indigestion
Recommends A Safe Way
At I
Many stomach sufferers who are
always full of gas and whoso stom
achs burn with acid after nearly
every meal think these things are
the RESULT of Indigestion wnen In
reality they are the CAUSE.
It is Just as foolish to give arti
ficial dlgestents such as pepsin, etc..
to a stomach full of gas and acid
as it would be for a man who had
stepped on a tack to rub liniment
on his foot without removing the
tack.
Some stomachs generate too
much gas and acid. Gas distends
tho stomach walls causing a full,
bloated oppressive feeling while
the acid Irritates and Inflames the
lining of the stomach. Naturally the
food ferments and sours, digestion
Is often delayed and stomacn mis

Coal Prices to Soar
in South and West
Washington. Sept. 25.—Early re
vision upward of coal prices in a
number of outlying districts will be
made b ythe fuel administration. The

at a profit. This is particularly true
in some parts of the south and west
where coal uns in thin veins.
The evision will be accomplished
by reclassifying the entire districts
concerned. Thpre will be no relief,
i tis said, for the few operators in
the central fields who own mines
containing thin veins.
