SAVED FROM CHAIR,
 YOUTH GIVEN LIFE
15 Year Old Lad Had But Six
 Days More to Live

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. o6 R,- Shadows of the electric chair have given way to the gray walls of the eastern penitentiary for William c. Cavalier, 15 year old Schuylkill county boy. The state board of par dons yesterday granted him com mutation of sentence to life impris- onment for the killing of his grand mother, Mrs Catherine Cavalier, two years ago.
 But 'six days separated the boy from the electric chair, When noti- fled of the commission's action he said he was 'very happy" that his life had been saved, but added T am afraid it vas just done with the Idea of having me declared insane an sending me 10 an Insane asylum" Assured by the warden of the SchuyikIll county prison that such was not the case, he said he was
 satisfied"
 ,s Cavalier is believed 10 be the youngest person in Pennsylvania ever 10 be sentenced 10 die in the electric chair. His friends waged Il
 long legal struggle 10 save his life. The case was appealed to the su- preme court and efforts were made to have a committee appointed to investigate his mentality. The sentence of the Schuylkill county court was upheld in the former case and the plea in the second case re- fused.
 Attorneys for Cavalier at the hear
 ing before the boarh of pardons de- clared the boy never had a chance 1 from the time he was born. They denied he was aawre of the enor- mity of the act when he killed his grandmother for the purpose of rob i bcry, District Attorney Palmer op- posed the granting of c!cmency on the ground that the public hns been given q wrong impression of the boy.
 During the hearing petitions con- tninine the signatures Of several thousand persons and associations in Pennsylvania and New York were presented by child welfare authori ties. 4 plea for the boys life also
 was made by Rabbi Philip Book staber, of Harrisburg, who pointed
 out that in granting commutation of sentence the board would only fol- 1 low the precort of "the prophet
 Jesus Christ-'foreive them for they know not what they do.'

MEREDITH HAS NEW
 CROP PROPOSALS
Price Fixing Measures Will Be
 Recommended

Des Moines, Iowa. Jan. ?7 U,-- A plan for the stabilization Of farm production prices, through price-tlx- ing at crop planting time, will be submitted by E. T. Meredith, for merly secretary of agriculture, to the Corn Belt Farm Belt Relief con ference meeting here tomorrow.
 Mir, Meredith urges tho placing Of the farmer on the same basis as the manufacturer. with regard 10 the price he is 10 be given for the arti. cle he is expected to produce.
 No other producer, he argues, would contract years output Of his plant at price to be established a year hence, nor should the farmer be compelled 10 operate under such a condition.
 My proposal" he said. Ifs to in- terpret the law of supply and de- mand through the medium of price. telling the farmers what the mini- mum price will be for their next years production and then guaran- teeing that price for their farm products"
 The price for five or six standard farm products--wheat, corn, cotton, wool. sugar and perhaps butter should be fixed. said Mir. Meredith, "only high enough 10 produce the quantity of crop desired and low enough 30 that the crop may not be so profitable 1t will cause the farm CTS 10 produce surplus above the quantity demanded by consumers "
 The plan would enable the farmer 10 decline 10 sell his wheat at any price lower than the government fix ed sum. thus causing q market ac- tivity which would bring the price Up to rover the minimum. At the end of the crop year, the year fol- lowing, the government would pur- chase what. If any, of the crop was left In the farmers hands and dis pose of 1t at the best possible price.
 Even If the government had to spend Si00.000,000 in disposing oi the carry-over, said Mir. Meredith I1Abl Sdlll NouIi bC cIlly OHN"N fifth of the tariff tax and only s1 per person in return for the six and q half bushels of wheat which each person in America expects the farm CT 10 raise for him. After two or three years experience in setting tho minimum figures for the crops. the prices could be so closely adjusted that farmers unable to produce 2 certain crop at that price would be forced into other lines more suited 70 their situation, bringing about 9 much needed diversilicatior.
 No committee would raise prices for next years crop in the face of q surplus, said Mir. Meredith, nor would they lower prices in the face of shortage causing a reduction in production which would make the consumers cost excessive.

 Anna May would not do such thing" said Alexander Schuhl broth er-in-law of Miss Dietrich. She was thrifty and frugal and perhaps had moro actual cash than the fiend who took her life. She bore an ex- celIent reputation and had enough money 10 clothe and keep herself as well as the women with whom she associated"
 Marshall. tho detectives snid, had nothing 10 be blackmaicd for. They declared their investigation had re. vealed him to be in dire financial straits. They also said that Miss Dietrich was known 10 have had at least S75 on her person when last seen and that she wore two diamond rings and other iowerly which have not been accounted for Mir.
