Justice Page, who wrote the deci-

that commended for by the respondent

Justice Page says that where language

tends the restriction should be adopted

ment Of Theodore B. Dale, at II West
Forty-hfth Street. and held a re-
volver to Dale's head. Subsequently
Dale committed suicide when criminal
charges were pending against him.
At hearings in Schwitofsky's behalf
before the parole board witnesses tes-
:ifed that before Dale died he told
acquaintances that the convicts case
weighed heavily on his conscience and
that he would rather die than submit
TO examination. Schwitofsky
swore that detectives who arrested him
had bounded him since he came to
New York from Austria in 1900 with a
legacy of $4,000.
Schwtofsky's sentence was reduced
70 ten years by Governor Glynn on the
recommendation Of District Attorney
Whitman.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
convict. declared before the parole
board in 1914 that District Attorney
Whitman had for months placed obsta-
Giles in the way of an investigation of
the Schwitofsky case and that his
office was "biassed" in the case.

shop. at 22l Broadway, during its noon
meeting. The son of the Republican
Presidential candidate looked on for
busy half hour while 1000 persons ap-
plauded his fathers name and 900 men
enrolled under his banner.
This was the highest record yet made
BY the Hughes campaign shop
"One-third of the entire enrolment
in the state has been the work OF the
women of the Hughes Alliance the
Younger Hughes was told, and he ex-
pressed his appreciation. But the tnlng
that pleased him most was the TOMB
