50 Convicts to
Be Paroled at
Lincoln Monday
Crowded Condition of State
Prison and Good Record Of
Road Camp Workers Cause
Move by Governor.

! Lincoln, Nov. 12.-(Specihl)- j.
With the arrival of cold weather,
all road activities have been stopped
in the camps where convicts have
been working and the men are back
in the penitcntiary, although in a
somewhat crowded condition.
By putting two men in cell the
prison will accommodate 58S pris-
oners. At the present time there
are 542 men in the cells. While
the cells are provided with two beds
it is not considered good policy to
put two i'll a cell, except in cases
where the men are trustworthy. 1t
is understood that most of the men
who have been out on road work,
have gone Though the summer with
good records and were convicted of
minor offences, will be parolled as
fast as their cases can be taken up.
There were Approximately 100 men
employed in the road camps and
about two-thirds of them may be
paroled.
According to Warden Fenton it
is mot unusual for Is or 80 men
out of each 100 employed in out
side work to escape in other states
and the fact that all but one of the
100 put out i'll Nebraska are back
home indicates that in the selec-
ton OF the men for the work the
warden and chief of the state well
fare department, Mr.. Antics. showed
excellent Judgment. Two men es-
capped .during the summer. Dick
Barrett and Walter Deason. Bar
rett was captured in Canada by
Chief Gus Hyers and brought back
a short time ago, but Deason is
still at large.
According to Governor McKelvie
50 Of the members OF the bunch
will be given paroles next Monday.
The rest who are subject to parole
will have their cases taken up singly
as fast as they can be.reached. The
balance subject to consideration,
numbers SO.

Describes Graft in Oil

New York, Nov. l2.-Alleged
political activity previously re-
ierred to III testimony and reports
before the Walsh commission now
investigating facilities of the United
States shipping board was again
touched upon in testimony presented
here today.
Congressman Foster Questioning
John I. Meehan. deputy chief of
the boards bureau OF Investigation,
:lAked il there had been any loss to
the government through political
influence"
The witness replied that he could
not say that there had
Asked if there had been any COM
plants of such influence, the wit
ness said that he had heard some
j.. S4lticism of William G.. McAdoo
liter he had resigned the office of
Secretary Of the treasury. 1t was
charged--or rather complained Of
the witness added. that Mr.. McAdoo
had appeared before the board on
behalf of the Morse interests.
Il do not, want to be understood"
the witness continued, as saying
that it is even inferred that Mr..
McAdoo has mtcrfered with, or has
been harmful to the board in any
way He explained he was testi-
tying only as to criticisms he had
heard.
Officials Not Overlooked.
Meehan also said that wh;1e most
OF the Investigations. of his depart
ment had been Of the activities of
minor employees, his department had
not Overlooked officials" He add
ed they had gone very high" in the
boards personnel. He repeated
previous testimony that no irregular
tiles had been discovered among the
boards officers. References were
made, however, to department heads
particularly in southern district
shipyards, where dismissals had
taken place at his recommendation
One of these dismissals was brought
about, he said, by what he termed
undue and unnecessary delay as we'll
as eNorbitant expense i'll repairs to a
wooden ship. The final repair bill
on this ship, he said, amounted to
fully 100000 and the ship could not
be sold today for $4,000.
Fuel Oil Concealed.
Going into details Of alleged graft
zsssong ship officers, he related de-
tails OF a case OH the steamship Dio.
On this vessel, he testified, three of
its officers, including the captain,
had managed to conceal the presence
OF 400 tons of fuel oil when it ar
rived from Rotterdam.
At Norfolk more oil was taken
aboard for voyage to Rio De Jam
cairo. AT this port the officers paid
for the delivery of 900 tons OF oil,
the witness asserted, but through
aonnivAce with an employe of an
oil delivery company only 900 tens
were delivered.
The difference between the value
of the 900 tons delivered and the
1000 tons paid for-amounting to
about S9000--was split between
the parties implicated in the transac-
ton The officers OF the ship il ad-
dition to the split, also took the
usual percentage" for sale. The,
captain. the witness alleged, also
connived with repair company for
certain alterations to the ship for
which the board was charged SILL

Two Shipments of Dynamite
Made by Man Held in South
