CONCENTRATE INDUSTRY
ON WAR, SAYS VANDERBILT
Financier Advises People to Econc.
mize and Lend Savings to
Government.

NLN YORK, May iS.-DiGerent busi-
ness, but better business for America
during the war is predicted by Frank
A. Nanderlip, banker. and member of
the labor committee of the council of
national defense's advisory commits
SION In prepared statement. Mr..
Nanderlip says the war Will call for re-
adjustments. but not for diminution in
volume of business: that times will be
better than ever before. and that the
people should be getting ready for top
speed production that viii utilize every
energy.
Would Concentrate Efforts.
"'rhe sooner the public gets over the
idea that we want 'businss as usual or
can have business as uSuaf during this
great war the better for ALL he says.
We want to stop al unnecessary work
and unnecessary expenditures short off
and concentrate on the immense volume
of work which has to be done. Eus;-
ness men should get rid of any fool
fSh fears that economy will bring on Il
general paralysis of industry or trade.
There is no danger of not having
work for everybody: the trouble is that
there is more work in sight than can
possibly be done. and the question is
whether We shall cut off luXurieS or
necessities. 1t is absurd under these
conditions to talk OF the danger of un
employment and to urge that the peo-
pie shall go on buying what they do
not actually need in order to keep Ia
bo1~from Unemployment or to maintain
business as usual.
How iS labcr to be had to make uni
forms unless it is released from MAX
ing other clothes; how axe looms to he
had for bl2nnetS unless released from
something else: how is steel to be had
for ships, tin cans and agricultural i'm
plemeats unless other consumption is
curtailed; how are women TO be had
for offices unless released elsew here
And. finally. how are we to put 81
coo, 900. coo or SS,000.00o.000 of purchas-
ing power, at the disposal of the gov
erilment unless we curtail our individ-
ual expenditures" =.
THE country should Immediately
awake to the fact that it has u great
task i'll hand, and that it cannot carry
on a war like this with one hand and
continue to do all the business It did
before with the other.

NO LENIENCY FOR

Pardon Board Refuses Rehear-
ing TO Mottern and Haines;
Others Turned Down

The State Board of Pardons at a
special session held here to-day de-
clined to make recommendations for
clemency in any of the four murder
cases continued from the December
meeting.
Rehearings were refused Henry
Ward Mottern and Ernest Haines, the
young murderers from Jefferson
county, whose applications for rehear-
ing were argued last month after the
Board had refused to recommend
Communication of the death sentence a
month before.
The Board declined to make recon-
mendations for commutation in the
cases of Junius Aston, Chester
county, and Fred Christy, Mercer
county, whose applications were ar
gued some time ago.
The date of execution for the JEFF
ferson county cases is the week of
January - and there were reports
about the Capitol to-day that counsel
for the convicted men might take the
case to the Supreme Court. In the
Christy case no date has been set for
execution and at the hearing it was
contended that the defendant had
plSdueu WIFI lne
that a second degree finding would be
made. but that the judge who was
specially presiding fixed crime at first
degree. Aston had pleaded self de-
fense.
Mottern and Haines were convicted
OF numbering Haines father and
Christy of killing his father.
The Board recommended a pardon
for W. II. Armstrong, Philadelphia,
adultery. to take effect January II.
Members of the Board declined to
make any statement of reasons for
their decisions and as is customary
no statement of the manner in which
they voted on the applications was
made. 1t takes n majority of the
Board to decide the case.
Few cases in recent months have
attracted as much attention as the
Jefferson county applications, numer-
Gus letters, kilograms and petitions
having been received by members of
the Board, including many at their
