Chester County Murderer Sentenced

he Supreme Court OF PENNSYLVANIA
sitting in Philadelphia, yesterday hand
ed down decision in the case of Will
liam T. Burke. who had been found
guilty OF murder in the first degree,
by jury in the Court of Over and
lerminer in Chester county, and who
had appealed his case. The decision
OF the lower court was affirmed. which
means that Burke will have to be ex-
ecuted, and it is now for Governor
lener OF Pennsylvania, to name the
date ioi his execution.
1t was on February "a last year that
Burke, who had spent some time in
the western mining districts, and had
returned to Chester county went to
the home oi John MacNsmara,
neighbor living in Elk township. and

Burke was arrested at his home, and
later was given a trial in the Chester
county court and was found guilty. His
counsel, John J. Gheen and T. Frank
Z. Hause, filed motion for new trial
which was refused by the Chester Co.
Court, and then the case was appeal
ed to the Supreme Court. with above
result.

The PROSPECTIVE INDUSTRY

THE possibilities OF Newark secur-
ing the Snider Preserve industry is
given in another column. Of all the
chances that Newark has had, this ap-
pears to be the best. 1t will be vau-
able addition to our present industries
but its greatest attraction lies in the
fact that it will be the means OF opening
the surrounding farming district in q
new line OF work Our soil is peculiar
ly adapted to the products used by the
Snider people and such a demand will
give new advantages to our farmers.
The farming land around here is not
suitable to berries and other small
fruits as the lower counties-making
the old system OF grain farming the
prevailing type. This opens up
chance for the farmer to secure some
fthe profits realized in more inten-
sive culture.
Every citizen OF the town should give
this his consideration and every en-
couragement possible,
Contrary to an opinion somewhat
prevalent, this is not an ordinary can
ming factory, but one OF the leading
firms OF the country. Employing
nothing but native help, it would GER
tainly be valuable addition to the
town and community.

The CONFERENCE

THE conference OF the Town Com
mittee and Colncil held at the home OF
Mr.. Jacob Thomas on Friday even
ing was move in the right direction
Mr.. Thomas deserves much credit for
trying to affect an amicable agreement
between the two parties. The meet
ing was private and the discussion has
not been made public. We understand
however, that there will be another
meeting to further discuss the matter.
There is a growing sentiment among
the citizens that this is the proper way
to settle the difficulty and not enter
into liigaion which would mean so
detrimental to the towns interest
and development.
II the representatives OF the town
and the Council cannot agree among
themselves. is it not possible for them
to present the situation to an appoint
ed Board OF Arbitration to decide the
matter? Our plea has been and is yet
to keep the matter out OF the Courts
and save the outlay of money and
embittered ieelings-and most OF all
the injury such publicity will be to the
town. Newark is at a period OF
growth. Few OF us realize her posi-
bilities il we can secure concerted &C
ton OF all the people The whole
State is becoming interested in our
town and its advantages, Every effort
should be made TO close this breach.
There is no doubt but that Council
will listen to the voice OF the people
when expressed in terms OF fairness.
This conference is suggestive OF good
civic spirit. 1t is hoped that those
who have the matter in charge will be
successful in securing an agreement
expressive OF the good sense of the
town at large.

New Form OF Telegraph Service

The Western Union Telegraph Co.
inaugurates today a new iorm OF tele-
graph service called the Day Letter
which, it is believed, will immed ..tely
commend itse.f to all as affording de-
ci5ed economic and profitable advan-
tages to the business community The
Day Letter is designed to be the day
companion to the Nigh Letter with
which we are already acquainted.
The rate charged for a Day Letter
OF fifty words or less, is one and one
hall times the Night Letter rate for
each additional ten words or less. one
fifth the initial charge. For example
the Philadelphia Chicago Night Let
ter rate is so cents; the Day Letter
rate is one and one ehali times that or
Is cents, with IS cents for each addi-
tional ten words. The Philadelphia
San Francisco Night Letter rate is ST.;
the Day Letter rate is ST.. so with 50
cents for each additional ten words.
The Day Letter and Night Letter
give to the United States the cheapest
telegraph service in he world and en-
able the business man to conduct his
correspondence by wire with all the ad-
vantages that result rom saving OF
time, elimination OF distance and the
immediate attention j invariably ac-
corded to kilograms.
