tration leaders in the senate today to
Senator C,,mmins' proposal to set
next week aside for free discussion of
| President Wilson's world peace ad
dress. Led bls Senator Stone, chairman
| of the foreign relations committee, the
Democrats stood against the Cummins
resolution. maintaining that with the
{, press of legislative business. such a
discussion at this time would make an
extra session of congress.
For nearly two hours the resolution
was the subject of debate during which
the views on world peace set forth in
the presidents address were alluded to
| only incidentally. At the outset, Sen
ator stone moved that the resolution
be referred to the foreign relations
committee. Later Senator Norris moved
to amend the motion by adding in
structions that the committee make q
report within ten days. Finally the
1 resolution went to the senate calendar
without action and ii will require af-
firmative action before 1t can be placed
before the senate for a vote.
Senator Cummins insisted tonight on

nifty and as a motion to take 1t up Is

From Youth
to Old Age
Massachusetts, Convict, After
Al Years in Solitary Con-
finement, Gets Prison
Privileges.

Boston, Jan. a4.--Jesse Pomcroy, who
has been for Al years in solitary con-
finement in the state prison at
Charlestown, was granted equal privi-
leEes with other prisoners by the state
executive council today. Convicted of
murder at Is. Pomeroy was locked up
in a cell lighted from a window in the
ceiling so that he might not gaze on
his fellow men. He was exercised apart
from other prisoners and buried as
far as possible from human compan-
ionship. Two years ago the sentence
was enforced less rigidly TO accord
with modern ideas of prison reform.
He was allowed more opportunities for
exercise in the prison yard and was al
lowed to attend church services twice
| on Sundays, sitting apart from the
other men. Now at the age of 81 years,
Pomeroy will move into a cell, where
he can see passers-by, will be allowed
to exercise with other prisoners. sit
with them at church services and at
| the prison entertainments and will be
given such light work in the prison
| shops as his somewhat enfeebled health
will permit. Governor Mccall an
nounced tonie nt that he approved the
communication.
POmeroy was convicted of the mur-
| der Of two children, following n, series
| of degenerate acts. He was sentenced
| to be hanged. but because of his youth
the sentence was commuted to solitary
| Imprisonment for life. On September
| !, 1876. he was placed in his solitary
cell at the Charles street jail
! But he did not drop out of the pub
lie eye. Reports of sensational attempts
to escape, carried through with patient
ingenuity rarely found outside of
fiction. became public a, frequent in
tervals. His mother, until her death
two years ago. never rela xed her ef-
forts to secure his pardon. and was
allowed to visit her son regularly
! When Pomcroy. began hrs sentence
read in seven languages and at the
age of 81 he is studying Arabic. His
last known attempt to escape was -four
years ago. Since then he has been dill
igently studying law as it bears on his
case. Beyond his attempts to break
through steel and brick to freedom
he has been on the whole. his keepers
say, n quiet and model prisoner.

APpoRTIoNMENT HELD UP.

Apportionment of AriZona's quota of S472 men among the counties of the state is held up by failure of the au- thorities at Washington to specify ex- actly what should be done with the 600 or more Indians of eligible mili- .ary age within the states borders, ac- cording to Col. F. s. Breen today. The apportionments are to be made ac- cording to the populations of the var ious counties, he said. and the addi- tion of the Indians upon the reserva- tions has complicated the matter. Col. Breen has telegraphed Provost Mar shal Gen. Crowder at Washington for instructions, and until these are re- ceived the work of apportioning Arizo- mas quota among the various coun- ties will be held up.
