prisoner of a substitute to serve

a d.y.
The appeal for clemency, first

weeks ago and renewed todiy,
wa.i in behalf of a third man vho
had been convicted in Cleveland
for conspiracy In connection 'vlth
a loan made to the federal of

wa. considered by the president
when flrfd told him as scarcely
believable, but the one who made
the request for clemency for the
petitioner aured the president
not only was ft true in all its
details, but that the practice ol
hirlnsr substitutes by convicted
persons was not uncommon In
several states and that the

CONFERS WITH PACKER i
Experts Are Busy Studying De
tails of Proposal Prior
to Ruling.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 17. (B A.
P.) Pres't Harding will make the
final decision for the government
on the proposal that Armour & Co.
purchase Morrison & Co., another
of the "big five" Chicago packers,
it was indicated today in high ad
ministration circles.
The president already has discuss
ed the matter with J. Ogden Armour
and will go over it in detail with
Sec'y WalIaA as soon as the ex
perts of the 'department of agricul
ture have completed their Ftudy of
the plan.
The executive was represented as
being of the opinion, on the .basis
of information mw in his posses
sion, that there would be no ob
jection at law to the proposed con
solidation, in. view of the stricter
government regulations of the pack
ing industry provided for In th:
packers and stockyards control act.
I; wart emphasized, however, that tlu
was keeping an open mind uniil ali
the facts bearing on the situation
had been presenttd.

there would be no decision for sev
eral days. He explained that the
matter was-now in the btnds of tin
department experts and th.it he
would give the proposa.1 full con

HOME. Nov. 17. (By A. P.)
The Italian chamber of deputies
late tonight, by a strong vote of
confi'l.n-ce given the new govern
ment of Benito Mussolini, the Fafl
cisti leader, placed the seal of legal
ity upon a movement which three
weeks ago was considered by tho
then-ruling authorities as rebellion
and revolution. The vote was 306
to 11C
Mussolini conquered the chamber
with the same methods he employed
in leading his Fascisti legions into
Home. As the deputies scattered
into the night after an eight-hour
session of the chamber ther were
many of them, even those who had
voted for tho premier, who asked
one another, "Will he prove to be a
Sulla, a Chomwjll or a Napoleon."
Prior to the ielate. Mussolini
had announced that he would allow
only 11 deputies one from each
group to address the chamber.
Fifty-three members had desired to
be heard. Hardly -nail the llth
man concluded when the premier
sprang to his feet and began re
plying to Interpellators.

To Signor Cao of Sardinia he said
ho was glad to hear that Sardinia,
had abandoned the idea cf separa
tion from the motherland. "Small
states can not exist by themselves;
ve would have seen to it that Sar
dinia should live," he declared.
To Signor Wilfan., deputy for
Trieste ar.d a member of the Slav
group, who had complained that
his countrymen did not hive liber
ty. Mussolini said:-
"You Germans, Austr.ans ar.d
Slavs as rninorit.es enjoy liberties of
press, .-neech and meetings., all of
which you were denied by the Ital
ian majority under Austrian rule."
During the long session, there
were frequent verbal clashes te
4 veen the Socialists ' and members
of the Fascisti. The excrement at
times was- intense. At one juncture
the depui.es became so violent that
th- speaker threatened ;o tender

Newa of the depature of the Sultan

the most intense interest in official

awaited the effect it might have on
the Moslem populations of India
and other Br.tish domains.
Official Indon. it is learned, is
none too pure- that tho Sultan's ac

created by the fact that several pro
tests have b-?en lodged by Indian
Moslems against reported establish
ment of a British guard at the Sul
tan's palace to protect him. The
protesters contended this action
constituted an infringement of their
rights of elf determination In what
they consider to be purely a Mos

Strangely enough, it was said
there have been no expressions of
commendation to offset these pro
tests. Moreover, it was believed

angered might offer stiffer resist
