has denied the petition for pardon Of
William Chase, who was recently con-
victed Of publishing libel against C. H.
J. Taylor. recorder Of deeds OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia Both Chase and Tay.
lor are colored, and the conviction and
sentence of Chase to ninety days i'm
prisOnmeut in the United States Jail was
the outcome Of bitter fractional contro.
versy which was started here ON the ap.
pointment OF Taylor, . nonresident,
nearly two years ago. The president en-.
dorsed on the petition the following:
1T is conceded that this convict
maliciously published an outrageous
libel IN a newspaper which he controlled
and used In this instance at least as q
dirty weapon to satisfy his personal rage
and revenge This crime 10 . most de
testable one. It has become % common
and is SO seldom punished that cannot
reconcile executive clemency In the case
here presented with the duty owe to de
cent journalism, the peace Of society and
the protection Of those constantly sub
jected to libelous attack"
