MOEI.CHEN rs FREE

Goyernor shaw Issues Life Parole to =
~ Murderer. NJ
DIES MONIES, April ~. For the first
time in the history of Iowa the gov
ernor has paroled q life prisoner. This
action was taken in the case OF Cor
nelius Moelchen, whose pardon or pa
role was granted by the legislature
this winter. The terms OF the parole
were m ade out and sent to the proper
authorities, and when accepted by the
prisoner he will be liberated from An
anosa, where he has served long
term of years In several cases in the
past, where the offense was less than
that which calls for life imprisonment
the sentences of prisoners have been
suspended, but this case is the first OF
it's kind. Murderers have either been
unequivocally pardoned or kept in
prison. Governor Shaw is an advocate
of the parole system, and recommended
it's adoption in Iowa in his biennial
message this year. The course which
the governor has adopted with Cornell
ius Moelchen is taken as an indication
of his future policy in inaugurating
the parole system in Iowa gradually.

Governor Asked Not TO Sign Valued Pol
icy Measure. III
S DIES MONIES, April l3. Governor
Shaw yesterday listened to insurance
men arguing against the valued policy
law. Having passed the Legislature,
the measure now awaits only the exc
cutive signature to become law, and
the insurance men are urging that it
be vetoed. Fully score of insurance
men or lawyers occupied the govern
or's private office during the three
hours devoted to the hearing The
advocates of the controvered bill were
represented only by Senator II. II.
Brighton of Fairfield. At the con
clusion of the hearing, Mr.. Brighton
expressed the opinion that nothing
whatever had been brought out to
warrant the governor in vetoing the
bill. He said was rather surprised at
the weakness of the case made by so
many strong men, who, as matter OF
fact, did not present SO strong show
ing as they made before the commit"
tees and on the floor of the senate.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Hanna will not be chairman of the re-
publican national committee in the
next campaign. The Ohio senator is
not in robust health and there are

to take his place. Henry c. Payne, of
Milwaukee. will be the presidents Sc

the arduous work which will fall upon

younger men will be closely associated
