GooD BILI.-Shelton Sauf1ey
was in Danville Yesterday after
noon and stated to the Advocate
that mistake had been made;
that he is not the author otthe bill
providing for building roads thru
the mountains at the public ex
pense. Saufey's bill provides
that the automobile license from
each county is TO be returned to
that, county to be used in road
building. If his bill is passed
Boyle county would get alI~the
license money paid by local auto
mobile users. It's said that Gov
McCreary mad speech to the
Legislature endorsing other road
bills, which appropriates money for
road building in the mountains.
The mountains are rich in mineral
resources and should build their
own roads. The State now head
over heels in debt and an effort to
liquidate should be made rather
then Efforts to get deeper in debt.
-Danyilie Advocate.
Who built the large portion of
the pixies offs Boyle county and
Central Kentucky? Why the.
State did. Its all right SO long as
the Blue Grass gets the favors but
let some legislator suggest State
aid to roads in the mountains then
the Advocate bowls. Well there
is going to be State aid extended
all the same some day. notwith-
standing the Advocate and little
politicians.

The latest value placed on an
1904 dollar is $1,000.
There are only about a dozen
such coins in the hands of collec
tors, yet there were $4,000 of
them coined.
The entire output was sent to a
paymaster of the feet then lying
of T,ipoli. and the sailors to whom
tney were paid promptly traded
them to the native Sahara traders.
and they disappeared from circu-
lation This is the reason for their
scarcity and consequent value.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 1O.-Hun
dreds of convicts now confined in
the Frankfort Reformatory and
the ! EdGyville Penite iary plob
ably will be given their freedom
in the near future, as the result
of decision handed down this
morning by Judge Settle, for the
Court of Appeals. in which he con-
strued the inderterminate sem
tence law, passed by the Legisla
ture in 1910, as meaning that con-
victs, after serving their minimum
sentences, are eligible for immed-
late parole providing their con-
duct for the prescribed period has
been in accord with the prison
rules.
The decision came in the case of
John DeMoss, of Covington, who
was sentenced to the peni,entiary
at Eddyville in 1870 on a charge
of man-slaughter for a term Of
from two TO twentw-one years
At the end of his minimum term
DeMoss asked for a parole. which
was refused by the board. He
then entered suit, alleging that
the law provided that he was elig-
ible after having served the mini
mum sentence. The case was
brought in the Franklin Circuit
Court, the judgment Of which was
appealed to the Court of Appeals
and today's decision afirms that
judgment, iu which DeMoss was
granted a writ of mandamus COM
pelling the Board of Prison Com
missioners to release MIN
The court held, in !. effect. that
after prisoner serving an inde-
terminate term has complied with
conditions of the law and served
the minimum period he is entitled
to parole. and Board of Prison
Commissioners has no discretion.
but must grant it A bill is pend |
to repeal the indeterminate sen.
tence law. and will be called out of
committee and placed in the
House calendar. 1t was decided
however. in previous case, in
volving the parole law. that after
a prisoner is eligible to it, the
rights have accrued to him that a
change in the law will not affect,
so those prisoners now entitled to
parole will not be prevented from
gettingit by repeal of the law.
