TO Gov. Lee M. Russell and The
Mississippi Pardoning Board,
We the undersigned respect
fully ask that you now pardon
Will Burdine who was at the
April term of Court in Chicka-
saw County. 1919, sentenced to
serve a five year term in the
State Penitentiary upon a plea
of guilty of .Manslaughter.
Petitioners would show that
at the time of sentence said
Will Bnrdine was afflicted with
palagra and other diseases at
tendant there to, and that said
Burdine entered the plea of
guilty at the advice of friends
who considered it to the best
interest of said Burdine to take
said sentence than to stand trial
at the expense Of. the State and
his own physical expence.
Petitions believe he has been
sufficiently punished and ask
that you grant him relief as
prayed for.

WOMEN VOTERS FORM
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
~(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 9.-The Indi-
ana League of Women Voters has
completed the legislative program
which it seeks written into law by
the state legislature. 1t includes three
measures:
The child labor and school attend
ance bill.
The woman's eight hour day.
The mothers gardian bill
The last measure is ready for in
PRODUCTION in the house by Representa-
tive Bedgood of Lafayette, while the
other two measures are pending in
house and senate committees, with
prospects of early consideration in
both houses.
The leagues new measure is another
step toward granting women equal
rights with men. 1t provides that
mothers are equal guardians with their
husband of the care, custody and edu-
cation of their children. Indiana now
has no law of this sort. but the prac-
tice has been to follow the English
common law accepting the father as
sole guardian of children. Nineteen
states, however, have the equal guard
ianship law.
Mrs. A. H. Beardsley of Elkhart is
president of the league, Mrs. E. A..
Gould of Peru, is legislative chairman,
and Miss Kate Cox of Peru legislative
secretary.
