 Six Years on Charge
 Dynamiting Street Cars

Atlanta, September 4.-William Pollard, a union organizer, who was convicted and sentenced to six years Imprisonment in connection with the dynamiting of street cars here in 1916, was granted a new trial today by a decision handed down by the state supreme court.

 Pollard was engaged in the work of organizing a street car mems union here at the time of the strike in 1916 and during the trouble between the company and it's employees several street cars were dynamited, resulting in the injury of several persons. Pollard was charged with instigating the dynamiting and was tried and convicted.

|COOT POE LOSES IN EFFORTS ID
 SECURE PARDON
Negro Asks for Freedom on Ground That He Once
 Saved Life of Sheriff
 of Lafayette County

Montgomery, September 14.-(Specal.) Forts of Coot Poe, negro to obtain free dom from the penitentiary on the ground he once saved the life of Sheriff Oswalt of Fayette county several years prior to the commission of a crime which re- suited in a life sentence, have proved unsuccessful, the state board of pardons Saturday having refused to recommend clenlency. Poe was convicted in June, 1915, of what is termed a brutal mur der. Evidence that he once saved the life of the Fayette sheriff was strong point in his argument for a parole.
 'The file shows that several years prior to the time this crime was committed this negro saved the life of MT. Os. walt, the present sheriff of Fayette coun- ty, by giving him certain Information for which act the board wishes to com mend him." says the boards ruling Hon. N. T. Drum, solicitor, states the crime committed by Coot Poe was brutal and as he was given a life sentence in 1915 the pardon board cannot recom- mend clemency" The sheriff of the coun- ty, whose life was saved by Poe, recom- mended clemency.
 The board recommended olemency ih the following cases;
 Pink Batts, Limestone county, murder, life; George Riley Tuscaloosa. assault to rob, three years; Phillip Thomas Colbert. second degree murder. 20 years; Dallas Fulker, Talladega, murder, 10 years.
 Restoration of civil and political rights was recommended in the following cases.
 If,1,v I ,ri.,,. day; r. J. Terry, Houston. manslaugh- ter, F months hard labor; J. E. Ander- son. Marengo, embeZzlement.
 Petitions were denied in the following cases:
 Henry Holloway. Montgomery, first de- gree murder; s. w. Roberts. Tallapoosa, assault to murder: Gus Comprise lief. ferson, second degree murder; Ernest Folsom Jefferson assault to murder; Dave Hamilton. Jefferson, grand larceny; Will Jones, Jackson second degree mur- der. Preston Payne. Montgomery, mur- der; Dennis Brooks Covington, second degree murder; Arthur A. Strock, Mor- gan, forgery; c. B. Bodie, Jefferson, as sault to murder: Joseph Tants, Montgom- cry, bigamy; Rose Sowel, Limestone. second degree murder: Lola Dunn Pike adultery: Coot Poe, Fayette murder; Els sick Maron, Lee, first degree murder; Nelson McLnn, Limestone. larceny; Wal ton D. McKnnon, Geneva murder; Maggie Taylor. Montgomery, grand lar ceny; Dan Carmichael, Houston, first de, gree murder.
 The case of Arthur A. Strocl, who will have to serve his sentence of five years for forgery, attracted statewide atten- ton months ago. Strock soon after be- ing admitted to the prison showed un. usual intelligence, and he was made in- structor to the convicts at the prison. A short time later these privileges were taken from Strock on the ground of in subordination. Insufficient grounds for clemencyp was written on his petition for parole.
 About a dozen cases were continued to the next session, of the board. Judge John Purifoy member of the board, was away from the capitol when the board met.

Fuel Administration
 Explains Reasons for
 Rationing Gasoline

Explaining it's reasons for making a request instead of an order for gasoline conservation the United States fuel ad- ministration says: "It has been suggest ed that the result to be sought nigh, have been better gained by a card sys- tenn or some other method of rationing gasoline The answer to this is that in the time it would take to inaugurate a card system of rationing, the shortage should be overcome, particularly if there is heed to the calls of conservation with regard to waste, leaks and the running of motors when not actually in operation
 There is further answer that from European experience the machinery of administering rationing system to 5000, e00 or 100000 users is so large and so extremely expensive that it should moi be undertaken until the need is extreme. ly great
