OPPOSE PARDON
OF R. M. PEDDY
Efforts to Free Convicted
Washington, N. j., Banker
May Come to Naught.
Special to the Evening Star.


WASHINGTON, N. j., July 81
Through the efforts of his wife and
son a pardon will be sought for Rob-
ert NJ. Petty. A petition to that end
is being circulated in Washington and
vicinity to be presented to President
Wilson. The petition states that a
pardon is asked for because of Mr..
Petty's condition of health. 1t is
claimed that he has lost eighty
pounds since he began his term of
imprisonment at Trenton.
Petty was formerly president Of
the defunct Washington National
Bank The bank failed in November,
1911, and Petty was convicted in
April, 1918, for incorporation of
funds. He was sentenced to serve
eight years in State prison. He has
served about fifteen months.
An effort to obtain q pardon was
expected, but the effort was made
sooner than anticipated. The fact is.
that the affairs of the bank are not
yet settled up, there being a suit
pending at the present time against
the wife of the prisoner 1t was not
thought that the effort to secure a
pardon would be made at least until
the affairs had been settled in court
There is a decidedly divided opin-
ion as to whether or not Petty should
be pardoned. Many have signed the
petition out of sympathy and many
have refused. There are scores of
depositors who have suffered equally
with him physically and mentally,
and much more than he financially.
The point stands out SO strongly
that one man has suggested the ne
cessity of starting out with a counter
petition.
That sympathy is not general for
Petty is because of the disposition
shown since the bank failure. There
has been no contrition manifested
and no effort made at restitution in
whole or in part. In this particular
] the case is radically different from
! that of Cashier Beavers, of the High
; Bridge Bank, who turned over all he
owned as matter of restitution. In
the case of the High Bridge Bank
wealthy men made up the deficit In
the case of the Washington failure
the total loss came upon the stock
holders. most of them people in mod
crate circumstances. Even the de-
positors were called upon to sacrifice
40 per cent. of their savings.

Make Jersey City Aims
Head Position Open to
All Hudson Co. Residents

JERSEY CITY, July 91.-=A civil
service examination open to candi-
dates from Hudson County for the
appointment of the superintendent OF
the poor of Jersey City was resolved
upon by the Jersey City Commission
at the end of their six hours session
today. Miss Anita Grish, an ex-
perienced worker among the poor.
has held the job for seven months
by Mayor Fagan's appointment. Yes
terday's resolution is thought to give
her a practical walkover for reap
pointment. A civil service examina-
ton open only to residents of Jersey
City, was held few weeks ago at
which John j. Mulvaney, a lawyer
and former county counsel, was the
only successful entrant. His per-
centage was 70. Miss Grish was shut
out from this examination by the
fact that she lives with her parents
in Hoboken.

Injured Twin Sisters
in Hospital Cause of
Trouble to Medical Staff
special to the Evening Star.


NEW BRUNSWICK, Jsly 81
Helen and Margaret Brady, twins and
eighteen years old. had nurses and
physicians in st. Mary's Hospital baf-
fed last night. The girls were in
jured in a runaway accident yester-
day, one of them getting two broken
ribs and the other broken leg.
They look exactly alike and insist
upon occupying cots placed side by
side in the hospital. Nurses and sur
geons working over them kept mis-
taking one for the other until, in des-
peration, one of the surgeons pulled
Helen's bed out of alignment with the
others In the ward. Then he forgot
whether 1t was Margaret's or Helen's
bed he had moved.
Several times nurses found them
selves ministering to the one with the
broken leg, when II should have been
the one with the injured ribs. The
nurses plan today to place placards
on the beds, one bearing the word

himself James Liddy, and told him
bow fabulous sums could be made on

and was introduced TO other men,
who talked Of fortunes they had
made.
Carey was allowed to win when
placing small bets. Once he had
81 600 in real cash in his hands, but
gave 1t back. Another time he
handled SIS, 900, of which $4,000 was
in checks. On another occasion the

Record Apple Crop Is
Promised by Observers

Special to the Evening Star.
TRENTON, July 31.-A bumper
apple crop. exceeding by nearly twen-
ty per cent. the average crop of the
last ten years, is promised by agricul-
tural observers in New Jersey this
year. This at least is the indication
contained in a bulletin received from
the United States Department of
Agriculture by Secretary Franklin
Dye, of the State Board of Agricul-
ture. The report indicates conditions
on July l, and does not take into con-
sideration damage that may have
been done to orchards by storms or
other causes during the present
month.
The estimate of the Department of
Agriculture is that this year New
Jersey will have about eighty-one per
cent of full apple crop. The aver
age yield in the last ten years has
been only sixty-four per cent. of a
full crop.
