FRED COLEMAN IS
AGAIN APPLICANT
FOR FULL PARDON
Former Deputy State Treas
urer Serves Notice He
Will Seek Freedom-His
Action Causes Surprise.

Undaunted by two prior refusals OF
the state board of pardons to show
leniency toward him, still hopeful that
that body may change Its attitude,
Fred Nj. Coleman, former deputy state
treasurer Of Idaho, who confessed to
the embezzlement of $4,000 from the
state and is now serving an indie
terminate term in the penitentiary, Is
again an applicant for a pardon, hav-
ing made legal publication of his in
tention to apply to the board at its
April meeting for an unconditional one.
The persistency of the defaulttng
deputy state treasurer has caused not
a little surprise. especially in view
of the fact that the board of pardons
at its last meeting, passed resolution
that thereafter applicants for pardon
whose petitions were denied, would
not be considered again for six months.
II is understood at the time this reso-
luton was passed for the express pur-
pose Of preventing applications SINH
lar to the one of the former deputy
treasurer appearing at every board
meeting.
80 Claim Ends of Justice Served.
When Coleman's last application was
before the board his lea for leniency
was presented by 4. c, Coffin, former
assistant attorney general, now re-
tanned by the state in connection with
the suit instituted against the bonds
men of the late defaulting treasurer,
O. ". Allen MT. Coffin gave the for
mer deputy state treasurer great
deal of credit for the support he gave
the state officials in running down the
shortage in the treasury department
and asked that the board show en-
iency toward him. The board, how
ever, voted unanimously to deny the
pardon just as it had voted once be-
fore TO deny it.
Since the last meeting OF the board
and during the past week Attorney
Coffin and Coleman have been en-
gagged working on the books in the
treasury department to run down GER
tain data needed in the states case,
Coleman has repeatedly stated that he
believes the ends OF justice have
been served through his Incarceration.
He has served a little over a year
but has not served out the minimum.
Coleinan's application for a pardon
is as follows:
Notice is hereby given that l, Fred
NJ Coleman, having pleaded guilty to
embezzlement in the district court OF
the Third judicial district of the state
Of Idaho in and for Ada county, on
Dec. Is. 1914, and sentenced and COM
mitted on said date to serve a term
of two and one-half to 10 years in

cation for pardon to the state board

The death of Tom SheVlin OF Min
neapolis, former Yale football star
and, coach, has started discussion as
to why great football players die
young. Besides Shevlin, three other
former Yale stars died when appar-
emily on the threshold business ca
reers that promised to be as brilliant
as their gridiron records.
The other three were Stillman,
Hogan and Brown. All won letters
since 1900.
These four great Iinemen played
game after game without injury.
Brown and Hogan played guard and
tackle positions, Shevlin was an end
and StiIlman a tackle. All made the
All-American teams two or more
seasons.
One explanation offered regarding
their deaths is that in their careers
on the gridiron, which included Sc
we're training seasons as well as
grueling games, they used UP SO
much energy they had little left to
fight off ailments later.
Another explanation offered is that
their grueling athletic activities
overtaxed their hearts and left them
susceptible to breakdown.
A third argument is made that the
players overexerted themselves while
in college, then, when they settled
down to business lives, relaxed, gave
up exercise almost entirely and suf-
fered a loss of stamina.
Other stars of other colleges have
died at early ages, but the cases of
Shevlin, Brown, Hogan and Stillman
stand out most prominently because

Bucharest, Aug. 30, via London, Sept 1. 7:45 a. m.-Rumanian troops invading Pennsylvania have occupied the important industrial center, Petro- seny and the Tarlunge Valley, near KrOnstadt, says the announcement of the Rumanian war office.
 The statement reads as follows:
 "On our northern and northwestern fronts our advance continues with suc- cess in all directions. Our armies oc- cupied Tarlunge Valley, near Brasso (KrOnstadt) and the important indus trial center of Petroseny. Our losses were very light.
 "On our southern front Hungarian monitors bombarded Turnu Magureli and Zimnitza.''
 Petroseny is the center of a rich coal field near the southern frontier of Pennsylvania, lying just north of the Vatican Pass through the Tran syivanian Alps The occupation of Tarlunge Valley indicates the Ruman- ians are extending their invasion of the extreme eastern portion of Tran sylvania.
 Turnu Magureli and Zimnitza are Rumanian frontier towns on the Danube River.

GREEK REVOLUTION
 NOW IN PROGRESS
Committee Takes Over Ad- ministration of Mace
 dOnian Affairs

London, Sept. l, 1:12 D. m.-The surrender of several Greek garrisons to a committee which has taken over the administration of part of Greek Macedonia is reported in Reuter- de- spatch from Salonilzi.
 According to this despatch the gar risons at Salonil1i, Vodena and Fort Little Karaburun have surrendered to the committee.
 Fighting occurred in Saloniki, the correspondent adds, but serious trouble was prevented by the inter- vention of soldiers of the entente al- lies.
 'The revolution claimed it's first victim at 4:3O o'clock this morning" the correspondent cables "Cretan gendarmes and Macedonian volunteers surrounded the barracks of the Greek infantry in Saloniki and exchanged shots with the garrison. But for the intervention of the allies the conse- quences might have been more ser ious.
 After half promising to participate in a demonstration arranged yester- day by a pro-aly committee, the Greek troops finally refused During the night pro-ally volunteers made determined attempt to seize the bar racks but failed. It is asserted that one gendarme was killed and that two were wounded. The losses of the lOyalists have not been ascertained"
 On it's face this despatch indicates that a revolution is under way in Greece, but the message is worded so vaguely, probably on account of the censorship, that no definite conclu- sions can be drawn. There have been various indications since the entrance of Rumania into the war of political turIn oil in Greece, owing to the con- flict between the neutralists, repre- sented by King Constantine, and those who desire to intervene in the war with the entente allies, led by former Premier Venizelos. An Athens de- spatch received yesterday represented that King Constantine was finding his position very difficult on account of the growing strength of the pro- entente faction.
 There is in existence in Greece a committee representing the neutral, or Venizelist faction. and it is DOS sibe that the Greek garrisons sur rendered to this or some similar body. The committee was appointed on Sun day. on the occasion of the demon- stration of 5O,0O0 Greeks before the residence of M.

APPEAL TO SUPREME
 COURT IS PROBABLE
Passage Of Eight Hour Bill Tem-
 porary Settlement of Dispute MAY BE MADE TEST CASE
Railroads Will Not Interpose Any Objection on Grounds of UncOn- Stitutionaiity Of Measure in Order, to Avert Pending Strike.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-While railroad officials of the country generally agreed today that passage by congress Cf the proposed eight hour bill would avert the strike set by the four brotherhoods of railway employees for next Monday, many were of the opinion that the railroads would de- cline to accept the law without a. contest in the United States supreme court.
 The plan today, as the result of conferences last night among presi- dents of a number of the leading roads, was that no claim of unconsti- tutionality will be interposed but should the measure be enacted, it will be studied by the railroad lawyers, and if they deem it advisable they will make a test case in the courts.
 If the men accept the measure it will probably mean the postponement of the strke,' was the statement of E. P. Ripley, president of the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe. Such action, however, will mean but a temporary settlement of present diff culties.''
 Preparations of the railroads for operation of trains in the event Of a strike went on today notWithstanding the proposed legislation at Washing ton.
 The embargo on freight announced yesterday by every trunk line in the country was not materially changed today, with the exception of the Atch1son, Topeka and Santa Fe, which modified the embargo on perishable freight.
 Food prices in this city with a few exceptions have not been materially aIlected. Potatoes sold on the mar Ret today at s2.25, the highest price Tn many years, and poultry was un two cents pound

 Call Bill Confiecatory.
 Counsel for the various roi1rooae are said to have informed the prosi- dents of the roads that the Adanson bill is patiently unconstitutional as being conf1scatory and class leg1s1a tion.
 Our lawyers" said B. P. Ripley president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, Informally and indi- vidually have expressed the opinion that the Adamson bill if passed will crumble at the first legal blast. If the bill passes the presidents and coun- sel will confer formally as to legal procedure. It is illogical to assume that the railroads will abandon their principles merely because they are attacked through congress instead of directly by the brotherhoods"
 A statement was issued at public ity Headquarters of the railroads that preparations for a strike next Monday were proceeding without regard to the prospects of congressional action
 Officials of the four railroad broth- erhoOds began massing their forces here today to direct the impending strike.
 The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad was notified today that the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors on the section of that system between Chicago and the Missouri river had voted not to strike.

Manila, Sept. 1.-American reserves were called out today to quell a small riot growing out of a strike of the nurses and students of the General hospital.
