NO MORE JAIL FOR BIGELOW
Paroled Banker Says There is Little
Probability Of Return.
WILL AWAIT COMING OF SON
Released Man Refuses 60 Discuss
Return TO Business Life, hut
says He VIII Keep
Busy.

LEAVENwORTH, Kan, March s.
Il believe there is little probability OF my
return and l thank you for your well
wishes. / appreciate the treatment that
have received while here and hope that
same courtesy will be extended others"
Such were the words OF Frank G. Bige-
low. the millionaire ex-banker Of Milwau-
kee as he left the gate OF the govern
ment reservation at 400 o'clock yester-
day, paroled until the termination OF
his short time sentence, February 20, 1912,
when he finally will be discharged as a
prisoner under the federal government.
Bigelow, in company with T. @. Hayes,
a former banker of Washington, d. c.,
who was also paroled today, came through
the big gates at the front OF the peni-
tentiaTy and walked the quarter mile TO
the car station still in charge OF a guard.
II was when he shook hands and told the
guard goodbye that he made the fore
going statement.
A reporter met the two paroled men as
they left the guard. Mr. Bigeiow refused
cigar, took a piece OF tobacco from a
we'll worn pouch a relic OF the years
spent in the prison. and conversed freely
with the reporter and Hayes.
VIII Keep Busy.
Il dislike to talk Of the experience in
side the walls" he said. looking back
at the great penitentiary. But II has
been a strange experience. 1 regret II in
one way, but in another It is different
What l will do after l return to my home
In Milwaukee, I will not say. I do not
care TO discuss the possibility OF return
ing to active business. / will comply with
the clause of the parole law, which makes
It obligatory for man to keep busy
after he is out, however" and the aged
banker smiled.
Then the car arrived, the three boarded
it and Bigelow sat looking out Of the
window. AS the prison passed out OF
sight he sighed and turned to Hayes. They
talked lightly and joked each other OF diff
ferent experiences in the institution. Il
! always had 1t on you fellows" Bigeiow
said as he took his tobacco pouch from
his pocket MY supply Of tobacco never
ran out" and with similar conversation
they continued the ride.
A woman with a small baby got on the
car. Bigelow turned to Hayes and the
reporter. Il suppose that neither Of you
has a famly?" he asked.
You appear young. 1t is better for you
Tommy" he said to Hayes, and neither OF
| you can realize what this means to me"
VIII Await Son.
Upon his arrived here Bigelow went d.
rectly to the home OF NJ. L. Hacker, ex-
mayor Of Leavenworth. There he had din

Gordon, who is expected tonight. The two
according to Bigelow, will go to Milwaukee

Legislature of South
Dakota Finishes Up
Work and Quits
Much Business Transacted, Though
But Little is Considered Of Great
Importance.

PIERRE. s. D., March 6-(SpeciaI Tele-
gram.)-The legislative crowd left on the
afternoon trains, rushing for the railway
stations as soon as they had taken their
last vote on the general appropriation bill
and leaving the officers and a few good
natured members to clear up the rest OF
the work and adjourn. with it's going went
the first absolutely leaderless body which
has ever met in this state. There was no
spokesman of the administration with a
backing to push through certain measures
there was no party or fractional following
which could be depended upon to follow
any leader and while that was one of the
methods Of showing independence OF boss
rule" at the same time II did not tend
toward a rushing of business.
There was no great administrative meas
ure to hold the members together nor was
there any great reform measure before the
bodies, unless the Richards primary law
could be said to be such, but that did not
require consideration. Probably the good
roads law was the law of most general
statewide interest enacted. The new rail-
way code was drawn by the railway COM
mission and pushed as it's measure, while
telegraph and telephone taxation has been
vitality remodeled.
Among what may be called the principal
bills which went down was the railroad
rate law, general game code with state
instead Of county deputies. the eight-hour
and union labor bills, which were pushed
by the Black Hills union men.
The railroads have not had to take the
batting Of the session preceding, but got a
little attention, and the insurance COM
panies had to take their share of attention.
Among pure food laws, probably the most
important was the senate net weight law
