AdHMNIH of the ruling by the
R81eESSSS~S board cepU in
capital offense
1aAHss.aaARD cases. This rule
was adopted because of the numerous
petitions filed for rehearings tmme-
diately after refusal. The board will
further require that reasons for re-
hearings be submitted in form of
briefs and will not hear oral argu-
mcnt unless the board directs it, 1t
is expected that this action will save
considerable time.
The board in addition to ordering
that attorneys must be present when
cases are reached on the list has stipu-
lated that when a case is passed 1t
must go to the bottom of the list.
Arrangements have been made with
the district attorney of Philadelphia
to detail an assistant to represent the
Philadelphia prosecutor in cases from
that county and the parole authorities
will also be asked to have John
McKenty, the parole officer, attend
the hearings. Philadelphia generally
has the most cases of any county.
Similar arrangements will be made
with other counties when occasion
arises.

of the State Department of Agricul-
ture expect that thousands of Penn
sylVania roosterS will meet the axe
next week in response to the call for
observance of rooster week" by the
killing of rooster a day. The depart

off as far as possible owing to the fact
that over 100000 are running on the
farms of the State which are not

duction of nonfertile eggs. 1t is stated
that no protests have been made in
behalf of the chandeliers to the State
authorities.
