present record which he is making His
first recognition came while he was in
West Philadelphia High In 1915 he was
varsity track captain During Is and 10
he was Philadelphia's Interscholastie one
mile champion. In IL he beat Crawford,
the crack Lafayette runner at Princeton.
At the Penn Relays Fred duplicated this
feat in the Middle States Relay, although
he failed TO cross the tape ahead Of Craw
ford on account of the handicap he was
given to start the last lap. While attend
ing the Quaker High, Fred ran on the z

holds the National InterlScholastic record.
OF interesting note IS the fact that three
Of these men, Harmer Lilly and Wilson,
are now at Delaware.
During his stay at PerhOmen, in Is, he
was captain of the cross country. He is
the holder Of several records at this prep
institution. Fred was also three letter

IN his senior year an honor student attain
ing over 30 per cent in all his studies.
During his one year at Delaware, Fred
has proved invaluable TO the Blue and
Gold track squad Two records have been
credited to him, in the half-mile and 440-
yard dash. To his admirers Fred is known
as the 'iron-man." This is because Of his
wonderful endurance In the Delaware

took first IN the broad Jump, the half-lnilc,

at Delaware, Harmer will probably hang
up more track records which will not be
touched for some time.

profteering in piece goods No offer
ings of piece goods are to be listed in
the associations exchange bulletin at
an advance in price greater than two
cents q yard over the last mill price
whenever this price can be determined
The managing board believes that this
advance will cover any freight charges
that have been paid and also the ! per
cent brokerage expense.
Members are urged By the associ-
for sale in the exchange bulletin only
in order to do away with speculation in
second hands OF piece goods which ave
needed By members. The managing
board suggests that all piece goods
particularly denims, be listed az a price
not higher than the last mill quotation
with the two-cent advance as the abso-
lutte maximum.
"it was found" said A. +. Allison
general secretary OF the association
that methods pursued heretofore in

Favors Prison Changes
More Liberal Treatment of
States Charges Advocated
bv Smith. Speaker Asserts

r. Ogden Chisolm, prison reformer.
who spoke last night at the forum of
the Church of the Ascension. Tenth
Street and Fifth Avenue. said that he
had received letter from Governor
Smith advocating much more liberal
treatment for the states prisoners.
Governor Smith wrote. he said, that tho
cell block ought to be abolished, as no
one who was locked in cage all night
could be expected to believe that the
state was treating him fairly. Cover
nor Smith also expressed the opinion,
according to Mr.. Chisolm, that few pris-
oncrs would take advantage of an ex-
tension of their privileges and that
few could make their escape if they
tried it in these days Of automobiles
and motor cycles. The Governors view
point was. Mr.. Chisolm said, that it
would be better for a few prisoners to
get away than to have them all think
that they were being treated unkindly.
He said that there were 1000 pris
ons IN the country that even n dog
would not enter except under compul-
sion Politics had much to do with evil
prison conditions, he said, but had been
removed as factor in this state since
Governor Smith appointed Major Lewis

Non-Residents Warned
To File State Incomes
''Smart Penalties" To Be I'm.
posed for Failure to Make
Return. Saws G.raxcs

Mark Graves. director of the New
\ ork State Income Tax Bureau, served
notice yesterday that Smart penalties"
would be imposed on non-residents who
failed to file their blanks before June
30. He criticized the action Of Attor-
ney General Thomas f. McCran, Of New
Jersey. in advising non residents to pay
their New York income tax under
protest.
"In my opnon,' said Mr.. Graves.
"Attorney General McCran is playing
to the gallery The effect of his sug-
gestion Is merely to put a taxpayer to
the annoyance and trouble Of executing,
and filing protest, which is OF no
avail. If by later decision it is de-
termlned that the nonresident is not
subject to the tax any tax paid by him

or not protest is fled
