SECRECY SURROUNDS PAROLES
Names of suppliant Offenders closely
Guarded by Board.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 26.-
Secrecy is maintained as to the re-
concentrations for parole granted by
the parole board of the federal prison
at its sessions. Frederick Zerbst, pa
role officer, prepares the names of
those eligible for parole under the new
law, and each of these men appear be-
fore the board where his case is eX-
amined. The board usually hears a
number of cases and then votes on
them. The members refuse absolute
ly to tell those they recommended.
However. the names of those who
have appeared before the board are
given out. The parole officer refuses
to tell the ones eligible for parole.
When the session is ended, r. v La
Dow, president, takes the recommen-
dations in person to Washington,
where the cases are examined by the
attorney general, who has power to
grant or refuse them. The names of
those who have been granted are not
even then given for publication until
he leaves the prison.

ceded by Chaplain Herbert W. Steb-
bins of the state prison he walked
into the death chamber with head
erect and eyes straight in front of
him. He said nothing when placed in

ly closed when the electrodes were be-
ing strapped to him AS he began his
last march from his cell to the death
room, Phelps listened to the reading
of the scriptures by Rev. Mr.. Stebbins.

BLAZE IN SORG HOME
Family Makes Hurried
Exit to the Street.

New York, Jan. 26.-Fire this
morning routed the members of the
family of Paul A. Sorg, the millionaire
tobacco man, from their apartment in
East Eighty Seventh street and caused
much excitement in the millionaire
colony IN the neighborhood. The
home of Bradley Martin adjoins the
house where the fire occurred and
Henry Phipps, the Pittsburg million
aire lives just across the way.
Mrs. Sorg was awakened by a SEN
sation of suffocation and found the
suite filled with smoke. She and her
husband awakened other members of
the family and with their eight ser
wants fed to the streets. The fire was
confined to the suite, which was bad

LEAVES $4,000 TO X. S. a. c.
Kansas school May Build Dormitory
for Girls.

Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 26--Twenty
thousand dollars has come to the agri-
cultural college from an unexpected
source. President Waters was notified
yesterday by the Old Colony Trust
company of Boston that that amount
had been wilIed the college by Mrs.
MehitabIe c. C. Wilson.
The money is to be for a building
to be erected under the direction of
the regents, to be known as Wilson
hall, or may be added to the present
endowment fund Of the college, as the
regents may desire.
It is more than likely that a dormi-
tory for girls will be suggested by the
regents, although the will makes it
possible to use the money for any
building called Wilson hall
Mrs. Wilson died only recently. She
was the widow of Davies Wilson, an
owner of much of the original site of
Manhattan The family lived m this
city MANY wears ago.

positions have been strengthened by
the importing Of an unknown merely
for the purpose of salving sore spots on

often censured by the men who attend

sold when the manager proves later
that his judgment is better than that
