The Governor and Council session
Of "Wednesday morning was occupied
with the hearing of two pardon cases.

appeared rs counsel for the petition
CT i'll the case of Antonio Andradc of
Portland. who convicted of the crime
of mansldugh is now serving a
sentence Of not less than two years
and SIX months nor over three years
in States prison.
Mr.. Leigh pointed out in opening
the case that he would not ask for
Il direct pardon for Andradc, but
would request that the Governor and
Council, change the mans sentence
from q minimum of two and a half
years 10 one and q half years so that
-Andrade would have the right to pc
tltion the parole board for a parole.
He also requested that the Governor
and Council lay the case upon the
I table until their next session in or
der that he could ask certain uucs-
tons of Attorney General Shaw re-
Sarding the case, the attorney gencr-
al being out of the city yesterday.
The Andrade petition was heard
by the Governor and Council last
June and at that time the petitioner
was given leave to withdraw.
The case was thoroughly outlined
to the executive body. The State
probation officer. Morris Fish OF Hal
lowell spoke of the fine conduct of the
prisoner while at States prison, and
Mrs. Andradc. wife of the petitioner,
answered certain questions in regard
TO the case. The case was the out
come OF the affair at Portland dur
i, .-I
in which the seamen and firemen
! were engaged and at which time a
negro. James Walker, was killed. 1t
was the claim of the petitioner that
| he had nothing to do with the killing
of the negro and that he was not
even present at the time, but that
he had been induced to plead guilty
| to the charge of mansIaughter at the
same time that six other respondents
! entered the same plea. Mr.. Andrade
| was local agent of the E'iremen's I'M
! ion.
| There was no opposition at the
| hearing to the granting of the petit
| ton.
! In executive session the Governor
! and Council tabled this petition I'M
! til the next meeting next WedneS-
! day.

| having been convicted and sentenced
TOR the crime of illegally manufac-
turing Intoxicating liquor. The SEN
| teuce included in addition to the 60
days in Jail the payment of fine Of
$1,000. 1t was the claim of the petit
TONER that this sentence is unjust
| and excessive.
Hiram Gcrrish. county attorney of
! Piscataquis county, and Sheriff ROs-
cOe Macomber of that county appear
cd in opposition to the granting Of
the petition.

JUDGES IDEA OF JUSTICE
Explanation Of Why Mercy Was
Shown to oefavitine Banker and
Severity TO Chicken rhisf.

Judge Swartx' resignation after
30 years on the bench In Montgomery
county reminds me Of letter which
I once received from him. "0irard''
writes in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
He had sentenced man to several
years In prison for stealing chickens.
The value Of the booty was only 4
few dollars.
II happened on the same day that
another Judge In central Pennsyl.
vnnIn county had sentenced bank
president 10 one year In prison.
The banker had misnpproprIutcd
over 100000. and for period OF
many years he had falslhed the nc
counts Of tho bank as returned to the
comptroller of the currency. These
two items were printed together In a
Philadelphia newspaper ns showing
the difference In judicial severity.
The letter got from Judge Swartz
said II appeared IN the face OF II as
II he had punished his man too hard.
but the fact was the chicken thief was
nm old offender. to whom u term In
prison meant no mental stress.
The bank president. argued Judge
Swnrtx. would be punished the more
severely by his brief term In jail. due
to his higher standards Of lie.

Canada's waterfalls developed 3.OOO.-
600 horsepower Of electrical energy
during 1922. The revenue to manu-
facturers from this power amounted
to $S1. 100000. according to a report
issued By the federal water powers

Ontario. with Niagara Falls as its
chief source Of power. led in produc-
tion among the provinces with $780,.
600 horsepower. the report shows.
Quebec followed closely with 1,1OO,-
900 horsepower. and British Columbia
was third with $4,000. The remain
der was distributed among Manitoba.
Alberta. Nova Scotia. New Brunswick
and Prince Edward island.
Despite the high cost Of construc-
ton. hydro-power Development in.
stalled last year totaled 529.OOO horse
power. Total capital invested In wa

to 3S7 per 1000 Of Canada's popula-
tion.
Demand upon industrial centers for
greater production is Increasing with

EDITOR HAS MANY TROUBLES
Among Them 10 the Necessity Of LIv.

town are many. Besides the difficulty
inherent In making up his paper salts.

reputation for llmitlcss knowledge. For
many persons he Il nm oracle. and the

A western paper received communI.
cation bearing pertinently on this mat.
ter. II ran NJ follows:
"Dear Editor: viii you kindly In.
form me by return mail what number
Of seeds are contained In 73 to 10
pound pumpkin. rs wish to settle an
argument"
A parallel to this request lies In an
unhappy experience OF an editor who
one morning received two letters from
subscribers. The first. m anxious
father. wrote to lind out the best way
TO bring up his twin babies In health
and happiness. while the other. n farm
er wanted to know the quickest meth.
od of getting rid OF grnsshoppers.
The editor hesltated; then out OF the
fulincss Of his knowledge, he wrote two
letters In reply. Hut in the haste OF
business he put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
The next morning the father of the
twins received this Interesting nn'
swer:

and set FIRE TO H. After jumping In the
