Reports of the HarrSsburg and Dan-ville districts were read this morn-ing at the session of the Central Penn-sylvania conference of the MethodistEpiscopal Church, In Grace Church:secretaries of the various conferenceinterest were Introduced, and theHarrlsburg Ministerial Association was

frlven a reception by the conferencebody.

Harrlsburg; Methodism GrowsMoat important from a local view-

point of the conference work of to-day

wa» the reading of the report of theHarrlsburg district by the Rev. A. 8.Vaaick. of Carlisle, district superin-tendent.

Among other points brought out inthe report is that Harrlsburg Meth-odism has been moving forward atsuch a pace that to-day the district isalone giving to missions almost asmuch as the entire Central Pennsyl-vania Conference was thirty years ago.

Speaking of the Sunday school workof the district, the Rev. Mr. Fasicksaid that this department is better or-ganized and doing more efficient workthan ever in the history of the con-ference. One of the things in whichthe Sunday schools are lacking, saysMr. Fasick, is teacher training work.

Too Little Social LifeEntirely too little is being done in

the development of the social life ofthe young people of the church, states |the superintendent. He says, in part, Jin discussing the Epworth League:

"In this day of questionable andharmful amusements the league oughtto be doing vastly more in the direc-tion of the social life of the young peo-ple. Moreover, in the rural districtsour Epworth Leagues ought to be so-cial centers."

The report shows that large sumshave been paid on church debts inthis city and its vicinity. The amount Iof money contributed to benevolences Iduring the year by the district is also jshown to be quite large. In the Work iof conversion reports indicate 1,72 7, !the largest in many years. Only fivecharges report no conversions. Thenumber of full members now on therolls is 15,699, a gain of 484.

Mr. Fasick points out that a greatwave of temperance sentiment is pass-ing over the Harrlsburg district, re-sulting in the reducing of the numberof saloons. He declares:

"THE SALOON IS DOOMED"The report of the Harrlsburg dis-

trict in full is as follows:"Thirty-eight years ago, in 1876, the

eighth sessions of the Central Penn-sylvania Conference met In Harrlsburgin Grace Church, Dr. C. A. Holmes,pastor, being the host. The sessionswere held in the Opera House. Bishop

Oil GALLOWS MAY 26Steelton Murderer Not Within

Electrocution Statute?MayAsk Pardon

j Tuesday, May 26, was fixed to-day

|by Governor Tener a b the date for

the execution on the gallows of Pascal' Hall.I Hall shot and killed W. H. Slater,| a fellow negro, In Steelton nearly a; year ago during- a jealous quarrel.

Dess than two months after Hallcommitted the crime for which hemust atone on the scaffold, the newlaw, which provides that the highestcrime against the State must be paid

'on the electric char, became effective.This law went into effect July 1, andit provides that murders committedafter that date should be punished byelectrocution.

One other man now In the Dauphincounty prison comes within the limit.

IThis is Martin Fleming, who has been1 1 convicted, but who baa not yet been

sentenced pending the disposal of hisapplication for a new trial.

The story of Hall was one of themurder trials which stirred Steeltonduring the latter part of April. 1913.Both men, it developed, loved thesame woman-?a woman of the city'sunderworld. Frequently they quar-reled and one day the two men metin the streets of Steelton and Slaterfell before Hall's gun.

During his trial the defense attempt-l ed to show that Hall was mentally ir-responsible and that he rather in-jherited the insanity strain from anjancestor who had been kicked years| ago by a horse, in his native home ofi South Carolina.I The defense in the Hall case, it isj understood, will place the case before'the Board of Pardons. The con-

demned man's aged mother has fre-quently wrlten his counsel, W. J.Carter, to intercede with the Governorin her son's behalf. \

| Governor Tener also fixed the samedate, May 26, for tke execution of Ma-lena Massn, of Schuylkill county.

| Frank Wells and Dugigl de Deo,, Fayette county, were granted respites'from March 26 to April 23 in orderthat their cases may be presented to

! ing pictures in an effort to securesome clue. A reward of SI,OOO hasalready been offered for his return andCity Councils were asked to-day tooffer $5,000.
