those who have been referred to as

Major John Bird of Camden, former
manager of the Camden Anchor
Rockland Machine Company.
1t was stated at the close of the
session that the board was not unan-

the commissioners returned to their

Death Sentence
Negro Hause Changed
To Life Imprisonment

Rochester, N. H., Nov. 16.-(AP)
The death sentence of George L.
Hause. negro. who was to be hanged
tomorrow for the murder of Moses
Goldberg at Concord In February,
1924. was tonight commuted to Hfs
Imprisonment by Governor Winant
and his executive council.
Hause tainted when Warden
Charles Clarke told him IT, news at
the state prison in Concord. Prepa-
rations had been completed for his
hanging.
A statement issued by the governor
said:
George l.. Hause was convicted of
robbery and of murder and was SEN
fenced to be hanged. A hearing be-
fore the, governors council was
granted which brought out the fact
that the state would have been salts
fed with life Imprisonment il the re-
spondent had pleaded guilty.
The record shows that curing the
last 80 years the death penalty has
been imposed in the state on only two
occasions and in each instance for
premeditated wife murder. After q
most careful investigation the gov
ernor and council do not felieve that
1t would react to decrease crime or be
good public policy to infiict the ex-
treme penalty in this case. We, there
fore. commute the sentence imposed
to imprisonment for life."
Hause, former Portsmouth prize
fighter, killed Moses Goldberg, aged
proprietor of Concord clothing
store, on February 2. 1924. He adj
mitted assaulting Goldberg but said
the storekeeper had struck him first
He was betrayed to police by his wife,
Bertha, and was arrested on March
/. While in the Concord Jail he as
saulted a policeman in an attempt to
escape and later. while in the state
hospital to which he was transferred
after an attempted hunger strike he
succeeded In escaping but was shot
down the next day.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets

DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild

These little olive-colored tablets are

complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or Gallo

and quickly correct it. Why cure
the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with
