Asked whether any difference would
be made in the ports from which Allan
vessels now sail Sir Montague said
that the large holdings which the line
has along the waterfront of the diff

running the same course they have in
the past. Portland, he says. is quite as
good winter port as any along the
Atlantic and that they would stick to

Illinois boy going West, becoming a
cowboy and making a gle-handeo
holdup of a stage coach with six pas
sengcrs, figures in a pardon granted
by President Taft today in the case OF
l.. A. Potter. -
Potter lived at Salem. ILL.,, and when
convicted of holding up the stage in
Texas he was sentenced May 20, 1885.
to life imprisonment at hard labor.
The charge being robbery of mali
carrier and using deadly weapon
whereby the carriers life was placed
in jeopardy. He has served almost "a
years, partly at Chester. ILL.,, and lat
terly at the I.eavenwcrth. Kas., pen: :
tertiary.
Mrs. J. w. White, wife of the pres
dent of the German National Bank OF

ground that the sentence was excess
sivc, that no one was hurt, that the

atcly.
