the unhappy effect of chilling and re- polling, to a considerable degree, the moral sentiment which now stands so squarely behind this law. and would, therefore, retard rather than promote the welfare of the humble individuals who are the usual victims of peonage. Having earnestly striven in the dis charge of judicial duty, under circum- stances of peculiar difficulty and bit terness, to enforce respect for the com mands of the peonage statute, like high sense of duty impels me now, when all the ends of the prosecutions have been thoroughly attained. to express the conviction that favorable action on Pace's petition at this time and under all the circumstances of his case, can not possibly lessen respect for thls law but will, on the other hand, rather heighten the influence and power of those moral forces which always fight against injustice, and are surer ana stronger foundation for the security ot the rights of man than the terror or legal penalties. l. therefore unhesitat- ingly recommend Faces pardon.
 With great respect.
 Your obedient servant,
 Thos G. Jones

 Il have made great study of the ques- tion and have had statistics of the world carefully compiled so might not be in err TOT. This shows that mining offers grea ter inducements than any business in the world to make quick and great wealth. It further shows that g per cent more people lose money and fail in farming: % per cent more in merchandising; 41 per cent; more in manufacturing: l7 per cent more in bank ing: and that more lose money and fail proportionately in any of the professions than in mining Mining is the backbone of all wealth. the spinal column Of sll certain tv.

JOHN w. PACE
 IS PARD0NED Qemency Extended Fa- nous Peonage
 Prisoner. ACTION OF THE PRESIDENT Judge Jones Recommended That
 He Be Freed. TaIIapoosa Cssnty Man Was Subject of Congressman wiIey's In-
 terest. Neighbors Also
 Asked for His Release.

Washington. D. C.. March 31.-(Spe- cia)-The President today granted a pardon to John W. Pace, of Tallapoosa County. Alabama. convicted in the Federal Court at Montgomery. two years ago, in several cases for the sta-. tutory offense of peonage.
 To Congressman wiley's untiring energy is largely due this manifesto tion of executive clemency
 Pace resides in the Fifth District, but that fact did not in the slightest degree abate the zeal or opportunities of the Montgomery Congressman in be- half of the unfortunate man.
 John W. Pace. of Tallapoosa. con victed by acknowledgement of his guilt, two years ago. and sentenced to Imprisonment for the crime of peonage. has been pardoned by President Roose- velt.
 2 The ends of justice having been ac- complished in the arousing of public sentiment against the unlawful prac- tice of peonage. the man who confess ed without hesitation his violation of a law of whose existence he was ig- norant has been adjudged deserving of clemency. Old, crippled and broken in health. carrying the stigma of con- viction for a criminal offense, John w. Pace may yet pass the remainder of his life in comfort, unterriied by the thought of prison walls. His offense has been condoned.
 The clemency extended to the Cosby brothers who were sentenced for the same offense. has at last reached the most prominent offender. Urged by a host of petitioners from his home coun- ty, ably seconded by Congressman A. A. Wiley. and supported by the rec concentrations for pardon from Judge Thomas G. Jones, of the United States Court, ex-District Attorney W. S. Reese, Jr.. who conducted the case against Pace, and Henry Clay Dickey, the government secret service officer who secured the evidenc which fas- tnd guilt upon him, the pardon has at last been signed by the President, and henceforth Pace Is free man.
 Two telegrams from Washington yesterday brought the news of the par don to Judge Jones. The first was from Congressman Wiley, whose ef- forts in the behalf of Pace have been untiring. It was short. merely stating the fact that the pardon had been granted. The other was signed Peyton Gordon, the pardon attorney, who has | had charge of Faces interests in Wash

Nature of Faces Crime,


 Pace began life as hlrer of county convicts. Being long in that business. he grew indifferent to the rights and liberty of his fellow -man and rocked little of the law. so long as he thougb' h. complied with it's forms, in getting control of labor. In. some of these when the sentence did not legally au- thoUize -m to hire such persons out, and woInrd them against their will. In others. where, with his Knowledge frivolous charges were made before justices of the peace, Pace contracted with the accused. in consideration of the payment of their fine. or an ad- cutors, that the alleged defendantS work for him. and be guarded and treated as d convict for the time spec flied In the bargain. Some of these in- dtViduals he held beyond the specified time, on the ground that they had not faithfully worked out the time agreed on. In some of these cases. Pace was law. as he honestly believed that the sentences Imposed were legal, and that he might rightly hire and detain the prisoners; while in others, the offenses were far more serious. and undoubt- edly involved legal as well as moral guilt. Pace claimed that he was ad- vised that his acts were legal in hir- that he did not know that he thereby transgr the peondge statute, of the existence of which he was ignor- ant This constitutes no legal excuse and certainly not a moral one.
 When the indictments against Pace and the other defendants came on for trial 1t caused great excitement. A

 The opening of stocks was somewhat higher along the list. money being 5 per cent; stocks have held fairly steady but have been dull as a general rule The concensus of opinion Is that the stock market will be influenced in the near future by the money situation and while Secretary Shaw has come to the relief the real factor to be considered is the amount of gold that will be imported If there is a sufficient amount imported to relieve the situation, we expect 10 see another bull market. otherwise values will be irregular and influenced as money huctuates from day to day.
