FIRST PARDON FROM WHITMAN
Releases Man in Prison for Grand Lar.
ceny of Heinze Stock

Albany, Jan. 7.-Governor Whitman
granted his first pardon yesterday, free
ing Charles Katz, who has been in
Sing Sing since October, 1913, serving
a sentence of three to seven years for
grand larceny in the first degree. Katy
and others obtained possession of
$4,000 face value of Ohio and Davis.
DAILY mining stocks belonging to F.,
Augustus Heinze and deposited by him
as collateral for y $4,000 loan with
the Windsor Trust Company
1t appeared at the trial that Katz
and his associates raised money to
make the loan, used the trust com
pany as a cover for it, and sold out
the collateral in the curb market at n
profit to themselves of $4S,000. The
affair took place in August, 1909.
katz was convicted in May, 1910. Ap.
peals put off his Imprisonment until
October, 1913. His associates escaped
by various means.
A memorandum yesterday explain
ing the pardon shows that last July
District Attorney Whitman asked Gov
ernor Glynn to grant it, on the ground
that katz had been made the sole vie
tim and had been punished enough.
Justice Marcus, who sentenced Katz,
joined in the July appeal for clemency.

presented by Harry Fern and company.
The act calls in an attractive stage
setting, representing the exterior of the
soldiers "home'' at louisville. Tenn.
Harry Fern, who is one of the most
popular artists of the black cork va
riety, handles the comedy role, while
pathos and excellent dramatic ability
is capably enacted by cast of four
other players. Harry Fern hands out all
kinds of laughs as the keeper of com
bination fruit stand, barber shop, etc,
just outside the 'home.' The dramatic
part of the act deals with the exposure
of graft at such an institution. Each
player in the company is capable and
strongly cast, making the novelty
doubly attractive Another pleasing
turn of the bill is that of Ciaudius and
Scarlet, the banjo players. The young
man and woman appear in attractive
modern dress and play some of the
latest songs in lively fashion. Then
the stage darkens, the artists stazt to
play SOME of the old favorite songs of
fifty years ago and as they play them,
the words of the songs are thrown on
the picture curtain. When the artists
strike up old favorites like ''When You
and Were Young Maggie, - "Grand-
father s Clock' and Others as well
known, the audience starts to sing them
until it seems as though the audience
has turned into one big chorus. The
act is certainly pleasing and its clev-

The Insidious influence of PORK,

There are some members of Congress
who refuse to have anything to do with
river and harbor ''pork' but who are
little weak on pensions. There are
Others who are strict with their con-
stituents about pensions but who will
fight long and hard to keep a useless
army post alive in their district. There
are very few members of Congress who
do not deal in ''pork" " in one way or
another in other words who do not get
money out of the National Treasury for
expenditure in their own districts con-
trary to the public good. With every
member of Congress after some piece
of pork or other, it is only natural
that they should combine and help one
another so that every one shall be GER
tain to get something. 1t is in this way
that large proportion of the public
money is divided and frittered away
