stead I'm Statement.
Attorney General Stead, who was
present at the meeting of the members
of the supreme court, gave out the
following statement:
Cali the members of the supreme
court met today in conference. at
my request, in Judge Carter's cham
bers to consider the situation in refer
ence to the parole law of 1899. which
was recently held invalid In the Joyce
case.
81 presented to the members Of the
court petition for rehearing and
asked for a stay order. A stay order
was today granted signed by every
member of the court. This stay order
provides that all further proceedings
in the Joyce case be stayed until the
April term of the supreme court and
that the Judgment rendered In the
Joyce case shall not be acted on as a
final Judgment until said petition for
rehearing shall be disposed of.
Expects RehearfnE.
"In my opinion this order means
that a rehearing will be granted in the
Joyce case when the supreme court
convenes in April. What the result
of rehearing will be, of course,
cannot say. Upon this subject 1 have
no authority to speak for the members
of the court and am not speaking for
them. If I did, however, entertain
some hopes of reversing the Joyce
Judgment and sustaining the parole
law of 1899 upon rehearing would
not have applied for it.
"One subject was discussed at the
conference upon which feel at liberty
to speak. This subject relates to the
effect of the decision in the Joyce
case upon the right to discharge con-
victs upon writs of habeas corpus.
The members of the court were clear
ly of the opinion, and they did not
hesitate to emphatically express it in
their conference. that persons convict
ed and sentenced under the law OF
1899 are not entitled to writs of
habeas corpus. under the recent Joyce
decision. and that the only remedy is
by writ of error.
Little Danger of Discharge.
"In view of the order today issued
by the members of the supreme court
and the wise policy which has been
adopted by the judges in Cook county,
there is very little danger that any
of the convicts now serving sentences
under the law of 1899 will be released
before the Joyce case has been recon
and the question relating TO
our parole system finally determined

Washington, Feb. 22.-I have spent
two days in the congressional library
reading editorials in republican news

reasons of the widespread dissatisfac-

An unusually large number of edi-

result of the announcement of the

sumes the proportions of an outrage,
in the estimation of anti-Taft repub-

that the progressives and insurgents
