star act as a reconciler yesterday, per-
suading Margaret Robar TO dismiss her

afraid to close her eyes and lost many
nights sleep. Robar promised faith
fully to ''cut out the drink" and took
the pledge for five years.
II do not believe in sending a wife
back to a man of whom she is in fear. "
said the judge, but If you think your
husband will keep his promise, Mrs.
Robar, 1 will dismiss this suit
Mrs Robar said she thought her hus-
band was sincere in his protestations
and the case was stricken from the
files.

MOTHERS HIGH SCHOOL
CLUB TO BE FORMED
Organization Will Be Effected

SANTA ROSA. Oct. 15--Mrs. Burke,
wife OF President Frederick Burke of
the San Francisco state normal school.
has been invited to visit Santa Rosa
next Friday to formally institute the
Mothers high school club of Santa
Rosa.
The movement is a new one orig
mated here by Supervising Principal
T. F. Brown of the city school depart
rnent and is for the purpose of secur-
ing a better understanding between
parent and teacher and of cooperation
between the two in the training of the
pupils.
Mrs. Burke has already done valuable
work along these lines. Pupils have
rather discouraged the visiting of
schools by their parents with the re-
suit that teacher and parent are
strangers as far as their knowledge of
each others desires and aims are con-
cerned.

DISABILITIES end
|. With PRISON Term
Attorney General Holds That
Men Who Serve Full Time
Need No Pardon
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SAN QUENTIN, Oct ,15.-Accordfng
to the opinion of Attorney General
Webb, thousands of former prisoners OF
San Quentin and Folsom may vote
without following the usual custom of
obtaining pardon from the governor.
While the state board of prison direc-
tors was in session here today Colonel
Charles Sonntag, one of the directors.
made public the opinion. The attorney
general says that a prisoner becomes a
citizen as soon as he leaves the prison
after serving his term.
CUSTOM FOLLOWED go YEARS
For 60 years." said Sonntag, "the
custom has been to have the governor
restore prisoners to citizenship. The
warden of the prison has been in. the
habit of recommending the prisoner
pardon to the governor So many COM
munications have been received by the
board regarding the right of dis
charged prisoners to vote that we made
an investigation. We requested the
attorney general to give us his opinion
as to whether or not it was necessary
for a prisoner to secure pardon before
he secured the rights of citizenship.
Attorney General Webb advised us
that a mans civil rights were only
suspended in the penitentiary. A life
termer, of course, is civily dead. Paroled
prisoners are still prisoners, and have
no civil rights as such. But as soon
as prisoner is discharged after serv-
ing his term he is a citizen in every
degree. He may serve any number of
terms, but upon his release his civil
rights are restored.
MEN DENIED RIGHTS
For all these years the prisoners
have gone through endless trouble and
have lived without civil rights simply
because a custom, which has no justif1-
cation in the law. has been blindly fol-
lowed. Many prisoners have been prose
cuted for voting or attempting to vote
when they had not been pardoned by
the governor. They had a right to vote
and the prosecution was wrong, but
we have just found it OUT
The board granted FIVE immediate
paroles and seven to take effect at their
time for conditional release comes due.
The board will take up with Governor
Gillett the plan for indeterminate SEN
tences.
Warden John T.. Hoy4e was served
with writ of habeas corpus today

man, who is serving so years for

Longleat castle, which is said to be
the first well built house in England,
was erected by Sir John Thyme, and
its construction occupied twelve years,
from January, 1867, until 1879. The
first royal visitor to Sir Johns noble
mansion was Queen Elizabeth, and the

his home, as she might ask him where
he obtained the money to build so
stately a house. Sir John Thyme,
