LOAN WORKERS TO MAKE QUICK CANVASS [Continued from First Pagc.l project at headquarters In the chamber offices this morning. "Harrisburg has not fallen down," said Mr. McCormick, chairman, "but It Is lagging. We cannot allow such a worthy project to lag. The ex perienced campaigners who assured the success of the Liberty loans will clean up the campaign in a day and a half, ending Wednesday noon. Seventy thousand dollars must be raised, and It Is better to get It quickly than to allow the project to drag along." The division commanders of the Liberty Loan were called into con ference to-day for final discussion on the plan suggested by several Harrisburgers, that the money be raised by solicitation, as many citi zens have not the time to bring their contributions into the Chamber of fices. Workers to Report All division commanders, team captains, precinct lieutenants and workers will start the campaign with a rousing meeting in the Chestnut Street Auditorium Monday evening at 7.30. Early Tuesday morning the campaign will start and continue until the round-up lunch eon meeting to be held Wednesday at noon in the auditorium. Subscriptions of $1 and upwards will be accepted in cash, and pledges for amounts exceeding $5 will be accepted for payment to Stanley G. Jean, treasurer, within three months. Five dollars must be paid on account on all subscriptions for future payment. Campaign buttons bearing the wards, "The Last Shot" will be fur nished to all who subscribe to this last war fund. Window emblems, bearing a picture of a cannon firing "the last shot," and the words, "Harrisburg War Memorial Fund," and "The Last Shot," with the amount contributed and the name of the donor, also will be distrib uted to show which households reg ister themselves patriotic in this last campaign.

He said that he appeared to present tho sentiment of the community and pre sented certain statements from the testimony at the trial, which mem bers of the board said that they con sidered doubtful. He romarked upon rumors current in tile community and the Attorney General rejoined: "We do not convict on rumors in en lightened communities and we don't keep people in jail on them either." The Attorney General said that the case developed that the testimony against McMeen was mainly on squabbles with his wife and his own contradictory statements. Mr. Woods said that there were elements of doubt in the case and that if there were the man had cer tainly- undergone punishment enough as compared with other homicide cases. Mr. Parker said that as rep resentative of his people he would say no, but he had a bad quarter of an hour with Mr. Schaffer over the signing of the petition which he said he had signed as an individual but came here to-day representing his county. "Well, we can't and won't dispose of cases on public sentiment," said the Attorney General, who remarked that in granting commutation a former board had signified its doubt and so had reputable men who had signed the petition. Doubts of Crime Mr. Patterson insisted upon ap pearing in his official capacity and opposed the pardon undergoing a cross Are of questions. When Mr. Woods instanced the newspaper threats, Mr. Patterson said that he had not known of them until they appeared in the newspaper and that he would not allude to them. He declined to accept Mr. Hull's con tention that the dead woman took the poison with suicidal intent or by mistake, but the members of the board said that there were many who seemed to have doubts as to the crime. The board also heard the appeals for commutation of the death sen tences of Lewis Page, Fayette and William Evans, Dauphin. Assistant District Attorney Frank B. Wicker sham opposed the appeal for mercy made by W. H. Earnest and T. C. McCarrell, Jr., and opposition was also made to the Page appeal. Short Time For (80,000 The Loomis case from Northamp ton county was continued. Representative Joseph C. Marcus, of Pittsburgh, had a rather lively time before the Pardon Board when he asked for mercy for Louis Beck, convicted of stealing $86,000. The Adams Express Company and the man who sent the money appeared against the pardon and members of the board remarked that the court had only made the maximum sen tence less than three years. The District Attorney's office also op posed it HONEST MEASURES A BLOW TO PROFITEERS [Continued from First Page.l among the market places of the State. Before the establishment of his bureau, it was the custom for every farmer and huckster to have a little scale of his own, and the variation in the readings of the dif ferent scales were tremendous. Now adays farmers are required by law to use standard scales, Inspected at regular times by State men, and consequently there is much less "gouging" and that sort of false measuring which has gone on be fore. Of course, there is bound to be a slip-up occasionally, but that cannot be helped. Standard Weights F. S. Holbrook, of the National Bureau of Standards, gave a most interesting talk on the operation of the standard barrel act, and of the climax basket act. Yesterday aft ernoon Mr. Holbrook gave a talk on the legislation requiring the stamp ing of the net weight on wrapped meats, and the standardization of baskets, hampers, barrels, etc. This morning he explained the operation of the two acts mentioned above and told his inspectors what their part would be in the carrying out of the laws. Following his #ddress, there was a ten-minute period of discussion, when Mr. Holbrook ans wered many questions which were put to him regarding the two acts. After his address, the conference adjourned until this afternoon, when the last addresses of the program were made. Owing to the late arri val of some of the inspectors, the program has been entirely altered, with the result that It has also been consiperably speeded up. O. Evans Mikesel, of Washington county, was scheduled to make an address on "Mine Scales," which should prove interesting, and an address was made by Fritz Reichmann, of St. Louis. It was hoped that the Gov ernor would also be able to say a few words to the conference. Yesterday afternoon in addition to Mr. Holbrook, R. C. Welch, scale inspector for the Pennsylvania Rail road Company, gave a talk on "Wagon and Truck Scale Difficul ties," and Lieutenant-Governor E. E. Beidleman welcomed the conference to the Capitol. After the program of speeches, the report of the legislative committee, the report of officers, and the elec tion of officers took place. The meet ing will in all probability adjourn this afternoon, although some un finished business may make it nec essary to have another session to morrow morning. Candidates Guests of Hbg. Republican Club Republican city and county candi dates will be guests Thursday eve ning of next week of the Harrlsburg Republican Club at the North Second street club house. This is an annual affair, the club each year entertain ing the candidates at supper and in troducing them formally to the mem bership. It is one of the largest po litical gatherings of the year. The speech-making in which Lieutenant Governor E. E. Beidleman, Auditor General Charles A. Snyder. Deputy Attorney General Emerson Collins and other well-known Republicans will take part, will be followed by an in formal reception and supper. Gover nor Sproul has promised to be pres ent if he is in the city. MEMORIAL PARK ADDITION The Suburb Unparalleled.—Adv.

Wheeler. Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the public group, had proposed that action on the steel resolution be postponed until Thurs day. Postponement of action on the resolution previously had been agreed to by the labor and public groups and the opposition of the employers came as a surprise.

He was represented by Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor.
