HARRISBURG MAY
LAND DFARM BANK
City's Location in Midst of
Agriculture District Big Fac
tor Under New Act

Harrisburg has been suggested as
a desirable city for the location of a
farm bank under the new Federal
Farm Loan Act. Lancaster and
williamsport have also been men
toned. Philadelphia bankers are
making a strong effort to obtain a
land bank, out IN view Of the fact
that Philadelphia already has a Fed
eral Reserve bank, Harrisburg's
chances are said to De good.
If a farm bank is located in Har-
risburg, it would be in the second
district, which includes New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware. 1t is said, that located within
easy reach of the agriculture dis
tricts of the several States mentioned,
Harrisburg offers strong inducements
for a farm bank. Asked whether the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
had taken any action in this matter
Secretary E. L. McColgin to-day said:
This subject has never been form
ally considered by our directors. We
are chiefly governed In National busi-
ness legislation by referenda of the
Chamber OF Commerce of the United
States OF America - the National
Chamber"

Easements Appeal From
Death Is Dismissed;
Will Try For Reprieve

London, July IS. Without hear
ing the attorneys for the crown, the
Court of Criminal Appeal to-day dis
missed Sir Roger Easements appeal
from the verdict of the lower court
which found him guilty of treason,
for which Viscount Reading, the lord
chief justice sentenced him to death.
For a day and a half Alexander
Sullivan, Sir Rogers counsel, argued
before the court, quoting many au-
thorities in favor of his contention
that the offense of treason depended
upon whether the accused dwelt under
the protection of the king and the
crime could not be committed with
out the realm. He abandoned his other
points in regard to the lord chief JUS
tees definition Of the offense. AS
soon as Mr.. Sullivan had concluded
his argument the court retired to con-
si0er whether the attorneys for the
crown would be called on 70 reply 1t
soon decided to the contrary, which
indicated that the appeal had gone
against Sir Roger, who was present
during the argument and when, judg-
ment was given.
A further appeal to the House of
Lords is possible, only If the attorney
general gives a certificate that the de-
cision of the court of criminal appeal
involves point of law so exceptionally
important that it is desirable in the
public interest that a still higher
court should deal with II. This has
been done only twice since the Court
of Criminal Appeal was established
eight years ago.
Working For Reprieve
Justice Darling in delivering the
judgment, expressed the Indebtedness
of the cour ito Mr.. Sullivan for his
well considered and well delivered
arguments as to justice characterized
them, adding that they were worthy
of the best traditions Of the kings
courts, but he declared that they had
been answered by the attorneys of the
crown at the first trial.
Attorney Michael Francis Doyle, of
Philadelphia, of counsel for Sir
Roger. expressed the opinion to-day
that it was improbable the attorney
general would certify the case for ap-
peal to the House of Lords, as the ap-
peal court did not consider it neces-
sary to hear argument for the govern
ment
Powerful influences are working for
3 reprieve, said the attorney, and
there were strong hopes of one being
