sion for a>meeting at the University
of Pennsylvania at which James H.
Maurer. president of the Pennsyl-
vania Federation of Labor. was 20
deliver an address. was to-day can
celled by the University authorities.
The reason is that the students
who planned the meeting had ex-
ceeded the authority and invited the
general public.
In forbidding the meeting Provost
Smith of the University said:
Originally permission had been
given to a small group of students
to have Mr.. Maurer discuss with
them certain phases OF the labor
movement But since the students
have posted placards not only on
the university grounds bat also over
portions of Philadelphia the gather
ing has begun to assume the pro-
portions of a mass meeting. Under
these circumstances it was deemed
best to cancel the meeting"

Washington, Nov. 10. Holding
that the action of the government
in injunction proceedings against
striking bituminous coal miners to
be go autocratic as to stagger the
human mind the executive coun-
ell of the American Federation of
Labor has issued statement saying
that the miners walkout was justi-
fled, promised for the strike the en-
tire support of organized labor and
asked aid and endorsement for it
from the general public.
The Lever act, under which the
government acted in the court pro-
ceedings never was enacted to apply
TO workers. the council asserted, and
its use against the miners was class
ed as IAN injustice not only to work

Washington, Nov. 10.-Labor lead
ers predicted to-day that interna-
tional officers of the United Mine
Workers of America, meeting at
Indianapolis. would not call off the
coal strike as directed by Federal
Judge Anderson, whatever the legal
consequence might be.
One of. the spokesmen for the
miners organization said he doubt
ed if Acting President Lewis and his
associates had the power, even IL
they had the inclination to comply
with the mandate.
The strike was ordered by dele
gate convention, in the event the
operators refused to grant our de-
mands," the spokesman said, "and
Lewis merely carried out instructions
in ordering the strike. The conVen-
ton must call it off"
Frank Morrison. secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, would
not add anything to the statement
issued last night by the executive
council supporting the striking
miners and demanding that the Gov
ernment withdraw the injunction
proceedings.
That was the statement of the
executive council and it speaks for
itself" Morrison said. Il am not
here to interpret it,"

asked for a statement in view of

FAMOUS BANDIT,

ASKS FOR PARDON
Terrorized Cumberland Val
ley Decade Ago by Afro
ciouS Crime
MANY JOIN IN PROTEST
Judge Who Sentenced Israel
Patterson Says He Is an
Habitual Criminal
MANY JOIN IN PROTEST

Israel Patterson, notorious "Brus-
town bandit" whose sentence of
from fifteen to sixty years for rob-
berry in the Cumberland county
courts in 1910, is regarded as the
longest ever imposed in Central
Pennsylvania. is asking the State
Board of Pardons for pardon again
and Voluminous protests have been
filed at the Capitol. Patterson was
arrested for the robbery of the home
of Henry Cockley in Penn town
ship after a daring and sensational
raid by State Police, which attracted
national attention. 1t was in charge
of Sergeant Harvey Smith, now con-
nected with the Auditor Generals
Department
The application for pardon is
based on statements of Hagerstown
men that they heard that Patter-
son was not guilty of the robbery,
which was particularly atrocious.
He was convicted and sentenced in
the early part of 1910 and in 1915
was refused pardon.
The new application is protested
by many citizens of Penn, Newton
and Southampton townships on. the
ground that Patterson is a danger
our man, by John NJ. Rhey and Jas
per Alexander, former district at
torneys of Cumberland county, and
by Judge Wilbur F. Sadler, who SEN
fenced Patterson. The venerable
judge says that Patterson is an habi-
tual criminal whose crimes cover u
quarter of century and that IL re-
released he would terrorize the COM
munity.
The case will be heard November

STILL AWAY FROM HOME

Harrisburg attorney to-day was
operator of the automobile which
last week knocked down Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert KEEPER and Mr.. and
Mrs. Millars letters, in a Middle
town street. Although both women
were critically injured and lay at
the point of death for hours, the
automobile party did not stop, the
driver making his escape by increas-
ing his speed.
Burgess S. B. Gingrich to-day re-
ceived a letter from a Miss Rowe,
of Boyertown, in which she made
an alleged confession of the criminal
speeding. She says in n five-page
letter that she pleaded with the au-
tomobile owner to stop but that he
refused Burgess Gingrich proposes
bringing criminal suit against the
attorney.
Accused Before
An effort to trace down the Har-
risburg end of the accident did not
bring results as it was said at the
home of the accused attorney that
he was absent from the city on an
autom obile tour. The same attorney
year ago was accused by a woman
of taking property owned by her.
The case finally was dropped after
considerable notoriety.
According to reports from Middle
town a handbag carried by Miss
Rowe was jolted from the attor-
ney's machine and found. Miss Rowe
is said to have written to the Burg
ess saying that the handbag would
prove her story.
The two women hit by the auto
mobile still are in a serious condi-
ton, although they now are out of
danger.

Another big sewer will be built
following Asylum run from North
Cameron street east to reach the

of two busy STREETS. AZ motor car was
rushing upon him from one direction;
from another point a motor cycle was
approaching rapidly; an auto truck
was coming from behind, and a taxi
cab was speedily bearing down upon
him.
He gave a hopeless glance upward.
Directly above him a runaway aero
plane was in rapid descent.
There remained for him but one re-
source. He was standing upon a man
hole cover. Quickly Selling it, he lift
