Ruth was taken TO the detention room
at No. 300 Mulberry Street. in the
same building with the Traffic Court.

the "jair' by court attendants, pretty
girl stenographers and other baseball
hero worshippers. The news OF the
hero stuff got to Magistrate House
and got the judicial goat"
Orders were sent to shut of the
Jail levee instanter, and Keeper
Shanahan slammed the door Of the
"celon." The Babe was indignant
but offered no remonstrance. He was
a long way from the waldorf Astoria
when the noon bell rang and the feed
bags in the neighborhood were be-
ing adjusted, but Babe didn't go on
any hunger strike. He was quite
content with the box Of crackers and
bottle of milk which were sent around
from little store in Bleecker Street.
Babes uniform was sent down to
him from the clubhouse and his two
seated roadster was purring at the
door OF the detention pen at 3
O'Clock. Game was called at $50 and
1t was whispered that mercy was
strained a quarter OF an hour so that
Babe could break out Of Jail at 3.45

FROM PRESIDENT
Chief Executive Sets New Rec

cred 664 Cases.

The Presidents pardon record last
year was the largest in fifty years.
Liquor, espionage, and other war
time laws brought the greatest crush
OF appeals for clemency the White
House has known since civil war
days.
President Wilson signed pardons
for 10S persons. many OF whom had
served varying terms but sought to
have civil rights restored by EXccu-
tive action.
The President personally considered
664 cases, and in all except twenty
five cases he acted favorably upon
recomme endation of the Attorney Gen.
eral. Most of the clcmency cases in
cluded Communication OF sentences and
remission of fines.
The Department of Justice said to-
day that, due to wartime statutes,
1902 cases were before the Attorney
General during the year for clemency
Many OF them were reported ad-
versely by judges and prosecutors and
were not brought to the President
attention. Many cases in this group,
however, may reach the White House
this year.
Pardon Attorney James Finch. after
n search of the records for more than
fifty years, said President Wilson had
hung up n half century record in the
number of cases considered.
