GOVERNOR DONAGHEY
 PARDONS K. 5. MORRIS

granted a pardon to R.S. Morris, the aged banker of Sloan Springs. He had been in the penitentiary since April 17, serv- ing a sentence of three years on Ia charge of receiving deposits when he knew the Bank of Si- loam Springs, of which he was president, to be in failing con ditiOn.
 The pardon was delivered to Mir. Morris at the penitentiary by Rev. k. L. Selle, his former pastor who took him in an auto mobile to his home. A message was sent to his attorney at Sloan Springs who will come for him and take him to his home, prob ably tonight. Mir. Morris is too feeble to travel alone.
 The aged man was deeply af- fected when the warden deliver ed his pardon to him. "The Lord has been good to me, "he sobbed, as he exchanged his prison stripes for citizens clothes. T am very grateful to the governor and to all of my friends for what they have done for me. And I want to thank the prison officials for all they have done for me while I have been here" "
 The governors statement in the case is as follows: After giving this case careful thought and consideration | am led to be- lieye that it is one in which the chief executive should exercise clemency and release him from custody From a legal stand point | have no doubt but what he should have been convicted. The money belonging to the peo- pie and which they had entrust- ed to the care of his bank, was made away with, the laws were violated, and his conviction was justly the result.
 Tn a case of this kind, however, it occurs to me that the time al ready served in the state peni- tentiary is a sufficient vindica- tion of the law, all things con- nected with the case being taken into consideration. Mr. Morris is an old man, 73 years of age. He is paralyzed, very feeble and infirm and nearly blind. He is not only not able to do any work, but, on account of disease, he can scarcely live ninety days.
 As a result of my investiga- tion of the case 1 find that Mr. Morris has been at the head of this bank for about thirty years. He held the confidence and es- teem of his neighbors and fellow townsmen and his name through out the territory where he was known had become a synonm for honesty and integrity. Many of the citizens oi that section sought his advice in matters of business, and profted by same when it was followed. He did great deal to help the people both in moral and financial way. l am constrained to believe that this trouble was brought on him because of his age and intirmi- ties, which in the past few years have greatly crippled his busi ness ability, than through any criminal intent whatever. 1 un- derstand that he has given up practically everything he posses ed to make reparation as far as possible, and that the accumula- tions of a lifetime have been free

stuffs is the remedy for the trust evil,
according to DR.. Joseph d. Bulloch,
president Of the Genealogical Society,
who spoke at the annual banquet of
the Organization at the Fredonia Hotel

should take into consideration the sup
ply and demand. the visible crops, and
the general food production. On the
other hand. he suggested another COM
mission composed Of fifteen trades in
the laboring and commercial classes, to
fix the wages for skilled and unskilled
labor. In order to make this scheme Of
any use, he said. strict contracts should
be demanded by both capital and labor

said, in part:
Features Of Address.
We believe that we have inaugurated
very wise and practical solution of the
question Of free elective as opposed to re-
quired studies. Every student. to attain
degree, must complete three major
studies Of six consecutive semester cours-
es each, and one minor study of four
semester courses. This leaves betwMn
ten and fifteen semester courses which
students can select from. But no study
occupying less than two semester courses
can be counted toward a degree. This

STRIKE END.
Adjustment of Lawrence Sit
uati0n Looked For.
COMMITTEES Statement
Ninety-Two More Children Of Mill
Workers Are Taken to New
York.

LAWRENCE, Mass, February IT,
Optimistic report that there is excellent
chance Of an early adjustment Of the
Lawrence strike situation was issued Of
f1cially tonight by the general strike COM
mittee Of the Central Labor Union. The
statement says:
Reports that have been published
which stated that final answers from the
mill men had been received by the gen
eral committee are not correct. While
the corporations are somewhat slow, the
committee feels there is good chance
for settlement Of all the difficulties
According to members of the general
committee, an intimation has been given
them that something definite might be
expected tonight or tomorrow from the
mill Offices in Boston In regard to meet
ing the demands Of the strikers. Mem
bers Of the committee hope the communf-
cation will lead to the settlement OF the
differences. A meeting Of the general
committee has been called for tomorrow.
Taken to New York.
NEW YORK, February 17.-Ninety two
more children Of the Lawrence textile
mill strikers were brought to New York
tonight and distributed among a few of
the 600 families which had applied to
adopt them temporarily to help the cause
of the strikers. A large crowd, many
carrying banners met the children at the
Grand Central station and a procession
was formed, with the children at the
head, which marched to large hall on
the East Side.
1.-THE children Of Lawrence asked God
for bread and received bayonets-You
can jail men, but you cannot jail ideas!
Such were notices borne in the process
sion, in which hundreds of women joined.
In the distribution at the hall another
application was received from Mrs. o. II.
p. Belmont to take some Of the children,
but 1t was denied, as was her first re-
quest a week ago, with the explanation
that the children would be assigned to
only such homes as they would find con-
genial and where they would be under
union influence.
