MONTGOME FRY.
The Governor Paroles Convicts-Stats
 Capitol Almost Deserted.

Montgomery February 23.-(Speelal)- The governor has paroled W. A. Webb. convicted of assault with intent to mur- der In Marion county. He was serving two years sentence which would expire in April The solicitor and trial judge ask for clemency and do all the county officers The governor also paroled Hamp Banner, convicted in Mobile of running q gaming table. The governor thinks a mild enforcement of this law is better in the end for the suppression of the evil 1t aims at, and concludes that Banner has been punished sufficiently to warrant his release on parole.
 The state capitol Is deserted today save for a few lonely looking senators who forbore the temptations of Mobile Mardi Gras, and who only add to the depressing nature of the scene The governor staid here because he thought 1t likely that there would be a great deal to do but he has really had day of leasure He signed the Greater Montgomery bill, however. and closed that stormy fight for good and all. Among the few legislators here nothing is discussed except the situation of the railroad bill in the senate, and the prob ability that the minority may be able by parliamentary tactics to put 1t over Some feeling is getting up on the subject.

Following the parade Proteus was host at brilliant ball at the French opera house.
 Admiral Schley, General Wheeler, Miss Alice Roosevelt and Miss Root were the most distinguished guests and the high est honors were paid them. Miss Roose- welt was especially singled out for knight ly favor.

New Haven, Conn.,. February 23.-There is polygamy in Connecticut, according to the Rev H. H. Hutchins, who made tour of Connecticut in the interests of the Connecticut Bible society. The Rev Hutchins said polygamy Is practiced Tn certain towns in the eastern part of Con- necticut.
 The degeneracy of the inhabitants of the town referred to, he said, wa5 pro- ductive of murder and other crimes. He added that another feature of life in that region and in the northwestern part of the state, was the existence of class of illiterates, whom he called poor whites" !" These live in shacks and are ignorant. The speaker thought the inefficiency of the country schools was responsible In large measure for such conditions and he believed also that the church was not holding its own in these districts.

MONEY 10 BE PAID MARCH 15

Washington. February 2S.-Having fail ed in the effort to obtain from Bowen the immediate payment in cash of the e55OO, which ir was provided in the proto- col of February 1s should be paid to Ger many thirty days from date. Germany to- day requested MT. Bowen to give draft for the amount payable in Caracas on the latter date This latter request was made on behalf of the German embassy by Herr Baltazzi.
 MT. Bowen was again forced to decline this request which he did politely, at the same time reminding Herr Baitazzi that he was bound by the terms of the protocol which provided that the G550O should De paid at Caracas on the 18th day of March to the diplomatic representative of Ger many. Just what reason was given by the German representative for making the request is not known. Such a draft, how ever. it is presumed, would be negotiable and the result would be that the Ger mans could immediately obtain the money it called for. The whole matter Is pre- stunned to hinge on the question of the return of the ships taken by the Ger man vessels during the blockade.
 Signor Mayor Desplanches, the Italian ambassador, made a calf ,on MT. Bowen today and explained that. he had been in- formed by his gevernn,ent5 that orders had been issued by the admiralty on Feb ruary IA, the day after the signing of the protocol, giving directions for the sur render of the ships taken by the Italian vessels.
 MT. Bowen today prepared and handed to the diplomatic representatives of the blockading powers the drafts of the Tro- tocoIs for the submission of the question of the determination of preferential treat ment to The Hague tribunal The un- allied powers will be Invited to join in this issue after the protocols with the allies are signed.
