REFUSE CLEMENCY
 LAWRENCE BRANT
Former Valet of Mortimer Schiff Whose Conviction Is Shronded Tn
 Mystery, Must Serve Sentence

Albany, N. Y., February 2-rhe ap- plication for executive clemency made hv Lawrence De Foulke Brant, former valet of Mortimer l.. Schiff of New York, was denied tonight by Governor Dix.
 Rrant was convicted of burglary, first
 degree. for having entered the Schif home and was sentenced five years ago
 to 3o years imprisonment. He is now
 confined in Clinton prison at Dame
 Mora.
 Unusual interest had been aroused over
 Rrants application because of the prom Thence of some of the parties concerned
 surrounding his being sentenced to such a long term and the mystery with which the case has been involved. In Brant s behalf it was claimed that he entered a plea of guilty to the charge against him after he had been promised that his sentence would be light.
 District Attorney Whitman of New York according to report recommended clem- ency.
 In report filed by Judge Rosalsky, who pronounced sentence upon Brant, the 30-year term was justified It was point ed out that Brant had entered the Schiff home at night after being discharged as a valet, by means of a key he possessed and attempted to attack Mir. Schiff. Reports circulated since it became known Brant had sought communication said that his application was being op- posed by Mir Schiff through attorneys.
 Attorney for Schih denied these rumors.

ARREST NEGRO FOR
 HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Police Believe They Are on Track of Negro Purse
 Snatchers

will Peel, a negro. is in the city jail fac ing two charges of highway robbery, and the police are looking assiduously for his confederate, who is in the city. The off cers are confident that they will have him in jail by night.
 Peel, with his partner, it is alleged held up c. R. Segrest on the night of January S1 and stole $75 in cash and a gold watch. This robbery occurred at Seventeenth street and Second alley, north. One of them approached the man and held him up with a big knife while the other went through his pockets.
 Last night an old negro, sam Smith, was held up at Alley A and Twenty-iirst street and robbed of 8 in cash. The same method of operation employed in the Segrest hold up was used on the ole negro. Smith came straight to police headquarters. where he reported the rob bery. Policeman Brent went immediately to the scene and in a few minutes hao Peel under arrest and at the jail. Smith positively identified him.
 The fact that the method of operation was the same in both cases, Policeman Brent summoned MT Sergrest to see the man and Segrest also positively identlhed him as the negro who held him up.
 It is thought that this pair of negroes are the ones who have been perpetratins the recent numerous purse snatchngs, In which several ladies of Birmingham have lost considerable sums of money, as well as other Vauables.

 After April Payment

That the pension fund will be exhausted after the April payment and that thers will be money for old soldiers following that date was an intimation yesterday of Robert c. Brickell, attorney general
 He stated that the conditions are trace able, first, to the shortage of money in the treasury of the state. and secondly, to the new pension bill enacted by the legis- lature i'll it's session last year.
 By the terms of that bill,' stated he, the fourth class of pensioners was aboi- ished and the members of that class ad- vanced to higher and more expensive grade And, whereas formerly members of the first class were so years of age, now veterans of 70 years are entitled to first grade remuneration.
 MT Bricken stated that he and tiie treasurer, Colonel Purifoy, would soon be engaged in purging the pension rolls. He stated that many men were drawing pen sions who are not entitled to them. He said that one pensioner has been cashing his check for five years in a city of Tex as and that there are other discrep- ancies to which attention will be given.

It is true that the local team did not play quite as good ball
 as usual, but there is no kick com ing to them on account of the results. The visitors won and they did so fairly and squarely, and they are as happy over the results as boys out of school
 The first half was a walkoYer for the visitors, ending with the score standing 23 to 10 in their favor. In this half Teddy was relieved by Cor dy, but the luck was no better, as the score shows. In the second half
 h however, the locals came up a bit bet ter. They braced themselves. playing on sheer nerve, but they couldn't get the ball home, missing goal after goal
