lies in the other direction. Believe
me, some of the boys are getting poor,
and they aren't overworking in the

tributed to our-ahem-dry climate
and the high cost of living, which

M'CLATg STATES
BOARD POSITION
Does Not Propose to Be In
fluenced by Floods of Letters
or Petitions

Lieutenant Governor Frank b. Nc
Claim in Il statement made last night
before the State Board of Pardons,
declared that the tribunal would not
be influenced by floods of letters or
attempts to sway its judgment. The
board had sat for two hours ana a
half listening to arguments in behalf
of new hearing for Henry ward
Mottern and Ernest Haines, the JEFF
ferson county youths refused clemency
last month. The hearing was on an
application for n new hearing but the
board gave the widest latitude and the
cases were virtually reargued. AS a
matter of fact except in the Penning-
ton and March cases the board has
seldom gone to such pains to get all
of the information possible. The ar
gument was that Mottern was OF un-
sound mind and that Haines was not
guilty and was convicted on Mottern's
testimony. The debate took Il wide
range and members of the board, not
ably Attorney General Brown and Sec
retary Woods time and again asked
lawyers to present new arguments or
show how they could help without
transcending the law.
When the board closed Mr.. McCla.n
held up a bundle of letters and said
that they were part of what he had
received as n result of the campaign
waged for the two applicants. Some
are applicatory, some advisory, some
impertinent and some intimidating,"
said he, 'but the general tenor is pro-
test and one would think that some
people had the idea that trial by jury
has been abolished and trial by indi-
viduaI substituted" Mr.. McClain said
that if the people wanted to abolish
capital punishment the Legislature
should do it. Until that time, said he,
no letters or such literature as he held
would influence him or, he added, con-
cern him.
The board decisions were as follows:
mmended-Ralph Petrilli. Lu-
zerne, larceny; Alphonse Zamarelh'
Fayette, rape, etc.; Daniel Erb, Jr.,
Union, larceny; Ralph Pierce, Ches-
! ter, larceny.
Refused-Charles l.. Mason. Phila-

kill, second degree murder; Angelo

liam Mcbride. Philadelphia, assault

enter fraudulent bail and subornation
of perjury.

Believe Interned Irish
Prisoners to Be Freed

London, Dec. 81. - The correspon-
dents of the morning papers in the
lobby of Parliament believe that a
majority of the Irish prisoners intern
ed after the rebellion will be released
to-day.
Their belief is based on inquiries
following a sympathetic statement
made by Henry Z. Duke, chief secre-
tary for Ireland, in reply toa question
adopted by John Dillon, one of the
Irish leaders, in the House of Com
mons last night indicating that the
chief secretary and the premier were
inclined to release the prisoners.

similar communications were being

PERSHING TO BEGIN
CHASE IN EARNEST

San Antonio. Tex, March 17.-Cal-
culations about army headquarters
here today indicated that General
Pershing soon will be in position to
re-divde his regiments and from near
the heart of the region where villa
has been operating begin systematic
search for him. Official reports 10
General Funston gave assurances thal
there had been no clash between
Americans and any band of MeXicans
and that the routine of the march had
not been disturbed.
1t was estimated that Colonel Dodd,
who crossed the international bound
airy line at i o'clock Thursday morn
ing forty-five miles from Hachita, n.
NJ, was tonight close by, If not ac-
tually in touch with the heavier and
slower column led in Wednesday by
General Pershing 1t was intended
that the more mobile force of Colonel
Dodd should effect a juncture with
the first division, after which Colonel
Dodd's cavalry would be sent on rec
onnoissance work, utilizing also the
services of American cowboys, VINO

General Pershing continued to hold
his line of communication To-Day, re-
porting at intervals as to his position
and the state of his troops. His wire
less set was used and couriers to the
border brought more detailed infor-
nation. The direct wire from the
border carried the messages to GEN
eral Funston's headquarters, 1t was
said today that General Pershing
probably would supplement his field
lines of communication with a tele-
phone line that would be extended as
he proceeded.
Failure of any body Of Mexicans to
oppose the Americans and reports
that General Gales was using his men
TO fortify the passes that lead from
the state of Chihuahua into the state
of Sonora, served to dispel somewhat
the feeling common in many quarters
that not all the Carranza garrisons

DECLARES GERMANY

London, March II GAO y. nh
From details of the sinking of the
steamer Tubantia, Lord Robert Cecil,
minister of war trade. expressed the
belief today in an interview with the
representative of the Associated Press
that the vessel was torpedoed.
1--WE recently detained the Tuban-
tia day or two for the purpose of
taking actual contraband from her
mails" said Lord Cecil, but we never
sent several hundred sacks of mail to
the bottom of the ocean"
Lord Cecil said that he was in re-
ceipt of no definite or official reports
on which to base his opinion that the
ship was torpedOed. He added that he
was inclined 10 believe that the Ger
mans were so determined upon the
destruction of tonnage that they viii
not forego attacking neutral ships TO
serve this purpose.
From the question of the destruction
of tonnage, Lord Cecil turned to the
subject Of blockade, saying
Our reports show that Germany is
becoming weaker. While nations in
the past continued fighting long after
economic exhaustion, 1t must be re-
membered that this war is different;
that finances are much more import
ant than ever before and the destruc-
tion of material greater. Our relations
with neutrals, as affected by the
blockade. are gradually improving
