VOTE SELLER CALLED ON
Tennessee Judge Will Give Men a
Chance TO Plead Guilty Before
Starting Prosecution.

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 2i.-Judge
Skeen, of Lee county, Va, today is
sued a proclamation in which he
invited all who sold their votes in a
recent election in that county to APP
pear before the court, confess and
accept minimum fine. Otherwise
it is asserted, indictments will be
returned and prosecutions entered
upon. The Virginia law automati-
cally disfranchises a voter for life
upon a confession of fraud in cleo
ton. I'm spite of this, however, it
is expected from alleged buyers the
names Of men who sold their votes
and the grand Jury has returned
200 true bills. The court adjourned
today until February to await con-
fessions.

A INTERCOLLEGIATE
STOREHOUSE FOUND
Building in Indiana Said to Have
Been Used by McManigal Is Heard
of by Grand Jury-More Dyna-
mite Feund In Los Angeles.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. t9.-Per-
sons who for weeks unknowingly
lived near to dynamite enough to
blow up the neighborhood, and
whose children skated over the
floors of a vacant house in which
nitroglycerin had been spilled, tes-
tilted today in the governments in
|vestigation of the dynamite conspir-
acy before the federal grand jury.
Witnesses from Muncie, Ind, were
questioned concerning what they
knew Of the renting of a house in
Muncie to 0rtie McManigal in 1909.
After paying rent for several
months in advance McManigal
stored it with boxes and sawdust
in which he placed nitroglycerin.
Later the place was thrown open
and school children skated over the
floors upon what appeared to be
grease spots. 1t was found the
spots were splotches of nitroglycer-
in, and experts were called to de-
stroy their explosive power. The
evidence was traced by the investi-
gators not only to confirm McMan-
igals confession (which implicated
John J. and James b. Mcnamara
but also to bring out what persons,
if any, assisted them.
No opposition hereafter will be
made against the removal of books
and papers taken from the iron
workers. headquarters from one
jurisdiction to another. It is under
stood the records, including the.
books and papers of John j. McNa-
mara, will be taken before the grand
jury.

THE PAROLE PLAN
IS WORKING WELL
Only IS Of the $50 Prisoners Re-
leased From Missouri Prison
Have Gone to the Bad,
Is the Report.

Jefferson City, Mo, Dec. TO-
Many inquiries are received, not
only from Missouri, but from other
states, to learn of the result of the
present method Of releasing the
more hopeful class Of convicts from
the penitentiary upon the guarantee
Of citizens to find them employment
and in a measure be responsible for
their conduct
There have been 275 Of these pa
roles issued and but is of these
men have violated the terms Of
their release.
The old theory that no one wants
an ex-convict near him is not af-
flrmed in the matter Of the parole
system. There are about LOCO ape
plieations now before Pardon At
torney Judge G. A. Denton for the
release under this system.
The terms are, chiefly, that the
paroled convict shall report forth
with to whoever is standing sonsor
for him. Stick at his employment
and render faithful service, notify
the pardon attorney at least once
every 90 days OF his whereabouts
and how he is succeeding. and alb
stain strictly from the use OF in
toxicants.
The pardon attorney also keeps
track Of the man TO whom the con-
Wet is paroled and frequently he
makes inquiries OF him as to the
conduct and industry Of the man.
The motive for a convict strictly
oheyng the terms of his parole are
powerful. II is either imprisonment
in the penitentiary, hard work and
no pay, or practical liberty, steady
employment and fair wages, which
The paroled man is permitted to re-
tain.
The workings Of the system have
given conclusive evidence that if
there is any good whatever left IN
a convict. parole will develop it.
No one has Deen moro surprised
than Governor Hadley himself al
The small number Of conViets who
have violated their paroles.
Next spring viii doubtless witness
considerable extension of the sys-
tenn as a result Of the general move
in this state for improved high
ways. The governor will announce
rules under which paroled eonvicts
may be employed on highways, and
he will extend this TO persons serv-
ing Jail sentences wherever the CO.
operation of the local authorities
can be obtained.
The governor probably will offer
a convict or someone serving a Jail |
sentence one day on their sentence |
for every day they are employed
upon the public highways under
the directions of the local authori-
ties.
There is law under which men
serving Jail sentences may be en- |
ployed upon the public highways or |
streets of tho cities. But the good |
roads move did not assume large |
proportions until last spring, so
very few counties were in a pO-
sition to take advantage OF this law. |
However. this law does not in
tend 70 widen the parole system as
to give every convict in the peni-
tertiary a chance under it. None
Of the old offenders, or those con- /
victed Of the more serious crimes /
have SO far been a beneficiary Of !
The parole system, and the governor
says that so far as he is concerned,
they never viii be. For anoal 900
of these prisoners now confined in
the penitentlary there is no hope
Of release.
