SENTENCES RUN
I BEYOND LIMITS
• Unusual Plea Made in Behalf
; of a Dauphin County Pris
oner at Pardon Hoard
. Some striking commutations of
. what sentences might mean were
' presented at the meeting of the State
' i Hoard of Partlbns to-day by attor-
JI neys for applicants for clemency. In
! the case of George O'Gorek, Dau-
I phin county, sentenced to from two
' j to four years for stealing ketchup,
'j beans and socks, it was testified that
:l he had eaten the beans and returned
j the rest. However, he broke his
'parole and is declared to have al
' I ready served six years and seven
1 months. His counsel claimed that
! if he served out everything his term
j would be eleven years. In another
j case it was claimed that by reason of
[penalties a sentence might be long
' er than originally imposed. .
Mrs. John Wagner, of Berks coiin
ty, who listened to argument for
j pardon of her husband, remained in
the room during argument on the
j case of Joseph Davis, also of Berks,
'land when a reference to Davis was
•made in harsh terms thought it
1 meant her husband and fainted.
Application wai made for com
limitation of William Warren, Ches
\ ter county, sentenced to death for
murder, it being claimed that a
II woman who was equally guilty had
! been given a second degree sen
tence.
1 The cases of D. Frank Kline,
j Lancaster county, and William Gor
| don, Philadelphia, were withdrawn,
; Deputy Attorney General Keller,
j who had been counsel in the tirst ;
I case protesting against favorable ,
| consideration.
Application was made this after- ,
I noon for pardon for Robert Scott, j
second degree murder. Dauphin [
I county, and Cora Dayton, injury to a j
a railroad, Cumberland county, j
1 Bruno Pizzinienti, second degree j
I murder, who broke parole, is seek- !
j ing a rehearing.

German Driven Out of

Philadelphia, May 15.—The Board

j voted to eliminate the German lan
guage from Philadelphia's schools.
! Among the twelve members who
| joined in the action were several of
those who "were not fighting the
German language" when the cam
paign was begun for the ousting of
the vehicle of kultur, and, to make
the operation just us painless as pos
sible for them, the subject was dis
j posed of without debate,
j Dr. John P. Uarber, superintendent
i of schools, expecting there might be
I a debate, had prepared himself to
■ recommend that German be cast out.
i But he had no chance. After the
j sheaf of protests from patriotic citi-
I zens and societies had been received,
j Simon Gratz, who presided, offered a
resolution putting tlie ban on the
j Kaiser's vehicle for propaganda;
j there were twelve solemn "ayes,"
and German had received its death-
I blow in the birthplace of American
' liberty.

jlnited States Judge Atkinson, of the

lup the nerves. strengthening the
[ muscles and correcting digestive dis
-
Dr. Jam< s Frsmcls Sullivan, former
ly physician of Bellevue Hospital
| (Outdoor Dept.), New York, and the
Westchester County Hospital says
there are thousands of men and wo
i men who need a strength and blood
1 builder but do not know what to
: take. In his opinion there is nothing
better than organic iron—Nuxated
I Iron—for enriching the blood and
| helping to increase the strength and
; endurance of men and women who
burn up too rapidly their nervous en
ergy in the strenuous strain of the
I great business competition of the day.
If you are not strong or well, you
owe it to yourself to make the fol
lowing test: See how long you can
work or how far you can walk with
out becoming tired. Next take two
five-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron
three times per day after meals for
two weeks. Then test your strength
again and see how much you have
gainea.
MANUFACTURERS' NOTE: Nuxat-
I rd Iron which was used by former

other prominent people with such
surprising results, and which is pre

A MOTOR TRUCK is a sound investment only
a when it pays for itself and returns an ultimate profit to
its owner. Its earning power is based on the service
it renders over the period of its useful life.

lt you the quality you want, the service you must have,
° and the stability necessary to secure your investment.
