 Her husband has given some of his blood to her, but she is in need of more. Several volunteers have been examined at the hospital, but they have proven 10 be of the wrong 'type' and search of many will probably have to be made before the proper type is found. Immediate action is urged any who would vol unteer as the tranSfusion will have to be made very soon. Authorities at the hospital will give additional information to those who call on the telephone.
 George Scarlett, member of Pumper Co. ? of the fire department. underwent blood transfusion at the afternoon, giving pint of his blood in an effort to save the life of the mother. Joseph Carroll, q member Of Ladder Co, 2, will give the same quantity of his blood tomorrow morning. It is probable that more volunteers will he necessary to get the proper types"

 Two weeks ago | similar plea wat made to members of the department at headquarters, and after all had Joseph Farr was select nd to give blood to Mrs. John Loomis of 12S Market street in an unsuccessful effort to save her life.

Illinois Politician Began Ten Year Federal Prison Sentence Only Little More Than Year Ago

washington, Aug. 1c GP&-one Q, the most imposing campaigns ever undertaken to secure clemency for . tederal prisoner was launched her. today On behalf of Warren IT. Mo. Cray, former governor Of Indians
 Coincident with the presentation 10 Attorney General Sargent of formal application for pardon. th. department Of justice was given more than two hundred letters sup- porting the request and bearing tho signatures of 14 governors and for lher governors of states, seven of the Jurymen who found McCray guilty. 50 Of the bankers who were involved Tn the financial operations which re- suited in his conviction. and a num- Der Of senators representatives busi- ness men, ministers of the Gosnel. and others.
 Think Punishment Excessive
 The petitioners, headed by Rep- resentative Wood of Indiana, based thelr request for pardon on the ground that the sentence of ten years and s10,00o fine was excessive. and that McCray is anxious and capable of making restitution to those who lost money in transactions with him. These transactions were carried out In an effort to recour money lost in his farming and cat- tie operations, and Tod to his con- viction on the federal charge cf using the malls 10 defraud.
 The attorney general promised to give the matter careful considera- ton. McCray only began hIs ten year sentence in May of last year, however. and tho general policy of the justice department has been to refuse pardors in cases where ihe prisoner has not served one-third of his term.
 One of the members of tho dele gation which called at the depart ment with Representative Wood "a present the application was Chase Osborne, former governor of Mich igan, who said that "McCray wants to try to pay back, which he ought to do in about 10 years" He said he understood that Governor Jack. son of Indiana had telephoned the attorney general urging fayorabls action on the petition.
 Indictment Pends
 One element that might initiate against restoring McCray's constitu- tional rights is an indictment stili pending, but Mir. Osborn predicted that present federal court officials iu Indiana were willing to nolle prosss these charges.
 Indiana citizens, who have ex- pressed their support of the move for a pardon were said by Mir. Os- born to include Postmaster General New, Senators Watson and Ralston. Albert ]. BeveridEe. Will Hays, Tom Taggart and George Ade, who Is q brother-in-law of McCray.
 Only one juryman. the former Michigan governor said, had refused to urge a pardon. The others who did not join in the move could not be located.
 The conference with the attorney general lasted more than two hours, and Representative Wood said after ward that Mir. Sargent had treated Us courteously and was very gener- ous In the time he gave us"
