The following important law points

Secretary of the Interior.

The governments rights under any
valid withdrawal at once attach to the
exclusion of any settlement or other
right initiated while such entry was

In constituting Section 22S9 of the
Revised Statutes, the maxim, Ode

perly be invoked to justify a plain
disregard OF the statutory limit as to
the area of the land ownership dis
qualifying from homestead entry.

The homestead law is donation of

BOARD REFUSES TO GRANT ANY
PARDONS NOW
(Statesman)

(Statesman)
Although petitions from rs pris
oners at the state penitentiary were
considered yesterday by the state
board Of pardons, not one pardon
was glartcd.
Governor Hawley and Secretary
Clifford sat at the meeting, the third
member of the board, Attorney Gen.
eral McDougall, being absent from
the city. Tho board adjourned to
meet Saturday morning, when Mr.
McDo' gall VIII be present. The pc.
tition of Franz ]. Binggell, sent ur
from Oneida county for q statutory
offence for one and half to thfe e
years, will probably be the only case
considered at the meeting Saturday.
In only two instan les were COM
mutations of sentences authorized by
the board. These were In the cases
of Fred Gruber, under sentence to
hang at the prison yesterday, which
was altered to life Imprisonment, and
Albert Moore of Bingham county,
who was serving 10-year term for
grand larceny. According to Warden
Shook, the story of Moore is most
interesting. The prisoner served
three and q half years of his term
when he was released on parole.
Since released under this plan, Moore
has conducted hin self in q highly
commendable manner and has made
good In every test, so the warden
says. In Wow of this fact, the board
deemed 1t advisable to commute his
sentence SO that it will expire Novem-
Der 1, 1911. Moore's original sem
tence would not have been served out
until 1917, had the board refused to
interfere. Warden Shook says that
Moore was an ideal prisoner and that
he was given liberty on parole and
subsequently this Communication as a
result of his own commendable con-
duct, and at no time has any outside
assistance been rendered him.
Must File Earlier
The board ruled that at future
meetings no petitions for commuta-
tion or pardon wo Id be considered
unless filed three days prior to the
meeting of the board. AS many as
seven petitions were filed yesterday
morning before the board convened.
The disposition of the petitions pre-
sented yesterday was as follows:
Ben Olney, statutory offense, con-
tinued; Marshall Hammock, statu-
tory offense, continued; Thomas MUIR

ed; George Shapely, grand larceny,
