One of the first petitions for elem
ency to be acted upon by the board
of pardons was that of Nimrod Uric,
who asked for parole. The appli-
cation was denied with scant cere-
mony.
Yesterday G. H. Riley, sentenced
from Humboldt county for rape COM
mitted in Paradise Valley about two
years ago, was granted parole.
James Taylor, Churchill county
burglar, was also paroled. Among
the petitions denied were those of r.
Whitlock, Washoe county, serving
twelve years for assaulting his IL
year-old daughter; j. c. Mathews,
Washoe county, serving from one to
fourteen years for assault with intent
to kill; Fred Skinner, serving fifty
years for a murder committed in Nye
county. A year or two ago Skinner
figured in sensational Jail delivery.

wires at the prison and escaped. He
was afterwards picked up in San
Francisco. Riley Woten, sentenced
from this county for murder, was also
denied clemency.

CONFEREES AGREE
ON CONSCRIPTION
(By International News Service)

WASHINGTON. May 10-The con-
seription bill conferees have at last
reached a complete agreement II "a
reported, thus breaking their dead
lock of more than a weeks duration
The Harding amendment, authorizing
the acceptance of Roosevelps offer tn
raise a division for service in France
was stricken from the bill. The age
limit for conscription was placed at
from Il to 81 years. The Fall amend
ment, providing for a cavalry patrol
of three regiments on the Mexican
border, goes out. The army prohibi-
ton amendment remains. Sentiment
in the Senate is said to be so strongly
in favor of the retention of the Roose-
welt amendment that a strong fighr
will probably be made in that body
against acceptance of the agreement
of conferees. 1t is expected, however.
that the Senate will wait until the
House has acted on the matter.
