Senators Shifting
On Tolls Repeal
to Act Thursday

WASHINGTON. April A SHIFT
ing by senators Of their attitude to-
ward the Panama canal tolls bill IS
going on from day TO day. and more
Republicans are lining up in oppo-
sition TO repeal. while Democratic SEN
ators who have been classed as doubt
full seem to be coming into line one
by one in support of the presidents
policy.
Some ID the Republican senator's
who are In favor OF the repeal bill
admitted today that they were disap-
pointed a. to the number of Republi-
cans who have come out in opposition
to repeal The president undoubtedly
has the support Of a majority of the
SENATE at this time, and estimated
from four votes to as high as sixteen.
The surprising statement was made
today by a Republican senator. who
Is opposed to the repeal, that not over
FIVE Democratic senators would finally
vote against the repeal bill
Senator Lodge gave notice In the
senate today that he would speak on
canal tolls next Thursday. This was
the only development In the situation
on the floor.

CONv|CTS BATTLE;
THREE ARE DEAD

SAN FRANCISCO. April 4.-Three
men were killed and several wounded
in a fierce battle which took place In
the incorrigible ward at the Folsom
State prison this afternoon. In this
ward are kept the most desperate
criminals in the State. 1t is said that
a carefully planned prison break was
attempted.
A carefully planned prison break
was frustrated at Folsom penitentiary
this afternoon. when Ave convicts
were riddled with bullets, from guns
In the hands OF prison guards. Three
of the men were killed instantly.
Only dozen men were connected
with the plot out OF the thousand or
more convicts in the prism. Previous
warning received by the prison officials
that break was to be attempted pre-
vented what might have been gen.
eral prison delivery. The most
desperate convicts in the State were
confined in tho prison.
The dead are: Jose Lucerics, in for
two years for grand laceny: Early w.
Slpprcll. two years for robbery; Ray
Einond Blade. two years for burglary.

PAROLE SYSTEM By
PRISON BOARD IS
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Attorney General Holds New
Law and Old Practice I'm
constitutional, and Test Case
Will Be Made.

According to an opinion rendered
yesterday by Attorney-General John
Garland Pollard. the State prison
board has no legal right 10 parole
prisoners and the law passed by The
last general assembly giving them the
IL paroling convicts after
three years servitude, ii unconstitu-
tionaL Further. the attorneygeneral
holds that the board. in having ex-
ercised the right OF parole for the
past ten years, has acted Illegally.
The opinion OF the attorney ge neral
was given to the governor yesterday
afternoon. who In turn submitted ii
to the members Of the board at the
regular bi-monthiy meeting. where il
was discussed at some length. The
board finally agreed with the COVER
nor to make a test case TO give the
courts an opportunity to review the
whole matter and orce and for all de-
eide upon its constitutionality
Next Saturday the prison board will
parole some prisoner, yet to be sell
ected- The governor will at once
secure restraining order preventing
the release of the convict, and the
board will be cited to APP
pear In the Richmond Circuit court
and show cause why the injunction
should not be made permanent No
matter what the decision OF that court
may be. the case will be appealed to
the State Supreme court for final de-
cision
If the attorney general is correct in
his stand and the Supre court up
holds him In this test case, the compli-
cations that may ensue may be end
less and are matters of conjecture.
Under the old system the State prison
board has been granting paroles to
convicts deemed worthy after they
have served half their term OF i'm
These paroles might all
be recalled and the beneficiaries of the
boards indulgence landed back in
prison. The new law gives the board
the right to parole prisoners after
three years servitude, excepting con-
victs serving time for certain felonies.
