THE MENDENHALL CASE
Tampa Times)

Tallahassee, Dec. 13.-There has
been no application presented in the
Mendenhall case. He personally wrote
in some time ago requesting hear
ing. That request has been renewed
by him, and the pardoning board has
set Dec. 20. for appearing at which
time an application will be presented,
providing he takes advantage of the
opportunity. But before the applica-
tion can be presented he must publish
for two weeks notice of his intention
TO make application for pardon. One
notice would have to be published this
week and another next week or he
cannot present his application on the
oath.
There is provision in law or a rul-
ing of the pardoning board that where
a person is so poverty stricken that
they cannot pay for a notice in the
paper that posting will be sufficient
notice.
Owing tosthe extraordinary interest
in this case, it is said to be the policy
OF the pardoning board that no mis-
take in the letter of the law will be
made. The pardoning board will
know in three or four days whether
he expects to carry out his request anc
actually present the petition on the
goth.
"A prisoner can make request fol
on application hearing without being
represented by his attorney. Wher
a request is made, however, every
person having filed written profess
against his or her pardon is given no
tjce by the board as to the exact datt
the application will or may be heard
s. they may be present to protest.
Notice of the 29th as the date sci
IL said to have been sent to. Mrs. j. w
McCullom, at Gainesville, and to Mrs
Amos H Norris. at Tampa
Miss Helen McArline. of Jackson
vile, social welfare worker, and Mrs
John w. Mahood, of Raiford, hav,
been before the pardoning board in al
informal way asking that Mendenhal
be given hearing.

tobaccos on sale are very expensive,
and those which have not been smug-

Street vendors of tobaccos, candies
and other articles display imported
tobaccos and German limitations side

learn the difference and become wary,
although the German tobaecos are not
inferior to some imported brands
In some of the high-c1ass restau-
rants only imitation cigarettes are
sold.
The drug stores are perhaps the
chief dispensers of the German imita-
tions. Imported toilet articles, and
particularly soap. shaving cream,
tooth paste and face lotions are very
scarce. But all the well-known AM
erican brands have been initiated.
Trade mark imitators have display
ed their best work in the saloons,
where whisky bottles bear the labels
of well-known English manufacturers.
But either the signature or the brand

the trade mark slightly distorted.
