NEW YORK, November 24.—Follow- ing the downward trend from the mid- October peak, carloadings of several of the larger railroads yesterday reported | substantial increases for the seven days | ended last Saturday. | It was said in railroad circles thB({ the gain could be attributed to the fact | that the freight movement in the pre- vious week was slowed down by twd holideys—Election day and Armistice day. Accerding. to estimates an increase of about 24,000 cars over the previous | week, or 4.7 per cent for the national total, is indicated for the weekly state- ment of carloadings due on Saturday. This is based on the loadings reported | from nine roads for the week ended | November 19. Total cars of revenue freight han-| dled by the New York Central Railroad system in the week ended November 19 | were 90,607, compared with 82,788 in| the preceding week and 101,285 in the same week last year.

Banks Freed in Arkansas ‘When Gov. Parnell Calls Con- viction Technical. By the Assoclated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, November 24— A Thanksgiving message in the form of a full pardon went from Gov. Harvey Parnell yesterday to A. B. Banks, 64, who was sentenced to a year in prison after the crash of his banking and in- surance system. Since his conviction on a charge of assenting to the acceptance of deposits | in an insolvent bank—the American Ex- change Trust Co. of Little Rock—was upheld by the State Supreme Court last Summer, Banks has been free under a stay of sentence issued by the Governor. The pardon thus relieves him of serving any time. In announcing the pardon Gov. Par- nell said Banks was convicted “of an offense which was purely technical and in my‘opinion involved no criminal in- tentions on his part, and I do not think that under such circumstances he should be required to serve a penitentiary sen- tence.” Banks was defended by United States Senator Joe T. Robinson. Seven other similar charges still are pending against him, and Prosecuting Attorney Carl E. Bailey said he was undecided on his future course of action. Four other of- ficials of the bank also are under in- dictment. None has been tried. A ELS e S S CLARA BOW TO SAIL After Premiere in New York.

And to bag the limit requires a steady hand, unfaltering eye, and a deal of patience. | For a 76-year-old man, it's decidedly {a feat. And for a 76-year-old waman— well, it is more than extraordinary. But Minneapolis boasts such a couple. | Mr. and Mrs. Sumner S. Johnston, who came to Minneapolis as children back | when the Civil War was just beginning, | have lived here for 70 years, and have just celebrated. their fifty-eighth wed- ding anniversary, will still knock down & flight of ducks with the best of them. In fact, they really are the best of them. They are hunters No. 1 and No. 2 in the State of Minensota. For 27 years Mrs. Johnston has been given the first hunting license issued each season in Minnesota, while Mr. Johnston has been given license No, 2. Being No. 1 is no empty honor.
