Washington, March 31-Presldent
Roosevelt has issued a general order
In the nature OF an amnesty towards
q certain class Of prisoners which viii
affect more than 100 prisoners con.
fined in the new United States peni-
tentiary at Atlanta, Ga. In the early
part of 1902, upon the completion Of
the Atlanta penitentiary, a number OF
United States prisoners incarcerated
in penitentiaries in Ohio and New
York were transferred to the United
States peRtientiary at Atlanta.
BY reason of the transfer of these
prisoners their terms OF Imprisonment
were very materially inoreased--i
some cases to the extent of three on
four years, for the reason that the
Ohio and New York laws relating to
tho diminution of sentences for good
conduct, which by the federal statutes
were made applicable 10 United states
prisoners, were very much more Lib.
eral than the federal statutes under
which such diminution of sentences
is permitted In federal institutions
BY the presidents order they will be
released on the day they would have
been discharged In the stake they
were transferred from.
The president has denied 10 appli
cations for executive olemency and
has exercised clemency in nine cases

MOTHER LOSES MIND
OVER DAUGHTERS DEATH

philadelphia, March S1.-Death in a
horrible and grSesome form came to
Mrs. Marian NJ. Jones yesterday. The
tragic end Of the woman so affected her
aged mother that the ldtters mind has
given way and it is feared she VIII be-
come h6pelessly insane.
While Mrs. Jones was going down the
cellar stairs the heel of her shoe caught
on one of the steps and was torn on.
She tripped and fell forward rolling
down the stairway and falling among
a lot of bottles that stood upon the
cement floor. Several of these were
broken, and a jagged piece Of glass
severed the woman's 1ugular vein.
She attempted to call for help, but
the blood gushed from the wound In a
torrent. With a strength and courage
born of a realization of the serious ex-
tent OF her injury, she tried desperately
to close the gaping wound in her throat
and staggered up the stairs for assist
ance. No one heard her fall, nor wai
anyone near to give her aid, and she
went forward through the house anC
up to the second story, growing rap
idly weaker and leaving a broad rec
trail behind her. She reached the hath
room, and as she leaned over the bath
tub fell dead, the last drops of her lff
blood trickling into the tub.
Several minutes llater the lifeles
form of the woman, lying in pool O
blood, was discoyered by the mother
The siclSly sight completely .prostfate
J the aged lady, and when she wa
brought to it was fourd that her res
son had given way.
