NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR
 WOULD STOP DEPORTATION
Wants To Save Ex-Prisoner Found Innocent of Murder, From
 Being Sent Away. '

Trenton. N. J., May Ex-Governor Moore announced yesterday that he was considering pardon for Raf- faelle Morello and interceding in his behalf with the attorney general of the United States in an effort to ob- tain withdrawal of a deportation de- tainer filed against Morello after he had been convicted of the murder Of his wife, of which crime he IS now considered innocent.
 Morello served eight years in the penitentiary. He was convicted on what was taken to be a confession that he was responsible for his wife's death. He made the statement when he was unable 10 speak English, but after learning the language in pris- on he said his wife committed sui eide because he insisted on respond- ing 10 a draft call for war service in 1918. He said he had tried to ex- plain 10 the authorities that his in- sistence on responding was respon- siblo for his Uife's taking her life and not that he, through an act against her, was responsible. Inves- tsation of his story led to the rec ommendation for his parole.
 Governor Moore said he intended to take up the matter with the at torney general and that he believed complete pardon would permit Morello to remain here without a stigma.

10 CONSIDER WE'D.
 HOURS OF CLOSING
Merchants May Take Action on
 New Summer Schedule
SEVERAL ARE IN DOUBT
Brickyard Workman Discharged by Court-Bank Treasurer Rcsigns- Miss Schofeld Will Graduate from Columbia-Other Items.

The matter of Wednesday after noon closing during the summer months will probably be considered by Berlin merchants within a short time, it was learned today. This system, which is meeting with sue cess in other towns and cities throughout the state, is believed to be a good one for the use of Berlin. IL will give the clerks an afternoons respite from severe heat so that they may seek the shore resorts or may engage in other forms of re- taxation.
 It is stated that most of the mer- chants in Berlin have been inter- viewed in regard to the formation of a chamber of commerce for the town and. while most of them are in accord with the project, some feel that they do not want 10 com init themselves at this time. They wish to consider the matter more fully. A few of them fear that en- lstment in such an organization will cause a loss of business, due 10 shortened business hours.
 John Giana of Kensington. who is one of the leaders in the movement to secure an organization along the lines of a chamber of commerce for the town, stated today that mer- chants have no reason to feel that they will lose business. He said that New Britain and Hartford stores havo employed the system for years and they have not suffered. He further stated that if all mer- chants in Berlin enter into the project the public will soon come to realize that it Is being benefited through this new system and will do its shopping along the new lines. The storekeepers, generally, feel that such an organization would be a great thing for the town. By if business would be stimulated and the merchants would be able to work for the public good as well as for their own. The public would know that it was being treated right end that the stores would do their best to satisfy it.
 Case Is Dscharged
 Peter Broncho, an employe of the Berlin Brick Co.,, was discharged by Judge George c. Griswold in tho Berlin town court last evening when the man was brought before the court for breach of the peace.
 Broncho was arrested on Wednes- day night as the result of a fight in which he engaged with AXel Drenske. It was alleged at the time that Broncho had started the argu- ment, but he was given the benefit of the doubt last evening. Through lack of evidence the court threw out the case. There was doubt in the mind of the judge as to which of i the men had really started the | fight.
