was interrupted by the prisoner. who said

morrow or Friday evening for the pur.
pose of considering several important mat
ters which will come up for consideration

Has No Desire to Live.
II have no desire to live" The fore
going statement was made by George
Whedbee, one-armed man, thirty-nine
years old, in the Police Court this MORN
ing when he was asked by the court why
he attempted to kill himself last night.
Whedbee was in despondent mood, and
it was only after some effort that he an
swered few questions propounded to
him. 1t was testified that at 7:3O o'clock
last night Whedbee. after bidding several
friends goodbye. attempted to take his
life by firing two bullets from a pistol
One inflicted a slight flesh wound above
his stomach and the second went wild.
Whedbee then dropped the weapon.
He was grabbed by bystanders, who held
him until the arrival of Policemen Beach
and Sherwood, who conducted him to
police headquarters. 1t Is understood
that Whedbee last week lost his position
as switchman with the Washington, Alex
andria and Mount Vernon Electric Rail-
way Company, 14th and B streets, Wash
ington. and since then had been drinking
and on several occasions threatened to
end his worldly troubles. The court di-
rected that he be turned over to his
people. Whedbee is a married man and
has a wife and three children.
Chief Of Police Goods today remarked
that the city has practically been free
from holdups and robberies since the ar
rest of the four negroes held for the mur-
der of Walter F. Schultz, the Chicago
artist. He added that three of the men
charged with the murder spent most of
their time at the upper end of King street
and robberies and hold-ups in that end
of town were common occurrences until
the men were taken in custody. He also

ties to prevent the expectation of

day as one day nearer to the reunion.

PAROLING LIFE PRISONERS.
Discussed at Meeting of American
Prison Congress.

ST LOUIS, oct. ;, rooo.-Thc
American Prison Congress which
was recently in session ar Seattle.
took up the question OF paroline life
prisoners. and the discussion. follow
ing the favorable report of com
mirtee appointed last year to deal
with the subject, indicted that there
IS, among pathological authorities. an
increasing willingness to extend the
parole system. Canada is applying
it generously, and interview with the
Dominion parole officer showing thar
about 400 convicts are nov. being re-
leased each year on ticket-of-leave.
During the past ten years, e,eI5 pris-
oners have been so released, and it
appears that less than : per cent OF
licenses for Noncompliance with the
terms OF the parole and less than
per cent have been forfeited by the
subsequent conviction for crime.
There Is no very convincing evidence
OF the permanent effect OF this len
iency: the system has been in opera
ton hardly long enough to yield
statistics; but Canadian records seem
TO show that the percentage Of pris-
oners who return TO the penitentiar-
les after having served out their
sentences Is larger than that of those
who come back after having enjoyed
parole privilege.
