NOW ITS GREATER PITTsBURG.
Bill Passes Providing For Consolidation With
Allegheny.

Harrisburg, Pa (SpeciaD The SEN
ate unanimously passed finally the Great
er Pittsburg bill providing for the con-
solidation OF Pttsburg and Allegheny.
1t now goes TO the Governor.
In order to make possible the addi-
ton OF other territory to the Greater
Piusburg the Wilbert bill permitting
boroughs to be annexed under certain
conditions has passed the Senate and
been reported TO the House 1t has
been amended to meet the objections OF
the country members and will likely pass
finally,
The measure uniting Pittsburg and
Allegheny will give Greater Pittsburg a
population by the last census of 45I,sI2,
which will change Pttsburg's rank from
the eleventh TO the seventh place, passing
Cleveland, Buffalo, San Francisco and
Cincinnati The borough bill. if enacted
and taken advantage OF, would probably
raise Pittsburg's rank one point further
bringing it above Baltimore. There
would be no doubt at all Of this except
that an amendment of the borough bill
restricts the additions to boroughs,
shutting ont the city Of McKeesport,
with its population OF $4,000, from the
possibility Of being annexed to Pittsburg
without further legislation than that
now contemplated.

covered his health
ITO positively establish the efficacy OF
this remedy .he doctors injected a H.

in retarding the progress OF the disease
in the worst cases, while in others it re-
suited in a complete cure"

Mrs. Chadwick chesred By News.

Cleveland, O., (SpeciaD j. p Daw-
ley, senior counsel for Mrs. Chadwick,
was much pleased when he read the
dispatch from Cincinnati saying that
the Circuit Court of Appeals had ordered
stay of execution OF sentence in the
case of his client.
1T indicates" said Mr. Dawley, that
the Circuit Court believes that there is
legal proposition involved in the case
which is worthy of its consideration or
that the petition filed by us shows at least
prima facie evidence of error in the lower
court Mrs. Chadwick will now remain
here until the case is finally decided.
There is,a strong possibility that bail may
be obtained for her in the meantime"
Mrs Chadwick, when shown The teie-
gram announcing the stay OF execution,
was visibly pleased She read the dis
patch several times and then exclaimed I:
That is good thank you for bring
ing me this cheering news"
Continuing, Mrs. Chadwick said: This
news has cheered me more than | can
express. 1t has given me confidence to
hope that the Court of Appeals will order
new trial, which should have been
granted by Judge Tayler here. | believe
that another trial under more just con-
ditions will clear me of all guilt My
trial was far from being fair one and
the decision in Cincinnati goes to show
that the curt there is disposed to give Inc
all the chance the law allows to prove
my innocence. ! was entitled 10 a stay
OF execution on filing my appeal and the
court has clearly shown that. 1t would
have been an outrage TO take me to the
Columbus Penitentiary with the appeal
pending. | do not want to go to Colum-
bus until am finally proven guilty.
81 do not know whether | will get bail
or not until the appeal is passed upon
The testimony demanded of me in the
| bankruptcy court has prevented any ac-
tive steps toward getting bail heretofore
because you see, if refuse to testify in
that court | can be committed for con-
tempt and no bail would be allowed. II
the Court of Appeals decides against me
! shall carry the case TO the United States
/ Supreme Court"
