R.Linn on Parole Board, Created by Last Legislature, . 150 WILL HAVE CHANCE The Indeterminate Senflmce Law Now Applies to Those Sentenced to a Definite- Time, and This Makes 150 Who Have Served the Mini- mum Time of Their Sentences Subjects for Parole 73 of Tliesc Are Wanted In Other States. James R. Linn, of this city, will be apppinted a member of the new pa. role board by Governor West, ac cording to political gossip about the capltol building, and by those who claim to know it is predicted that the appointment will be made In the next few days. The law creating the board was passed at the last session of the legislature, and goes into effect on May 20. In addition to pnnidlng that the board shall consist of three members one of which shall be- the superin tendent of the state penitentiary, It also prescribes the duties of the board and changes the parole law. It is made the duty of the board to keep In touch with conditions at the state prison, and to ascertain what pris oners are worthy of parole, and to submit such report to the governor, who is vested with the parole power. The board is given power to pre scribe its own rules and regulations. Must Impose Indeterminate Sentence Under the old law it was optional with a Judge whether he Imposed the indeterminate sentence or not, but, under this new law, it Is compulsory. The law pivvldes that at the time of sentence the Judge must advise the prisoner that he la sentenced with out limitation of time what the maximum and minimum sentence Is, and of the fact that after he has served the minimum he may be pa roled, providing his conduct has been good. The law Is made to apply to those mow serving definite sentences In the sttfe prison. As In many cases, under the old law, Judges Imposed definite sentences upon prisoners who were not really criminals at heart, and who, wnre they given a parole, might reform and become good citi zens, the new law Is considered an Improvement upon It. Seventy Wanted in Other State. As the law applies to those now In the state prison there will be a gener al weeding out when It goes Into ef fect. There are now 150 prisoners who ha,ve served the minimum sen tence and all of them will probably make application for a parole. Those whose conduct has been good will no doubt receive one,. but out of the 150 it Is estimated that there are 70 who are wanted In other states for PREPARES Z, 191 1. BBDGAD REFUGEES M STARVING 4 Ghouls Broke Into Vault. - Memphla, Tenn., March 24. Ghpuls broke into the family vault of W. W. Whltsett here to rob six coffins of jewelry they supposed had been buried with the bodies, when the whole fam- lly died of yellow fever In 1876, are expected to be arrested within a few hours.

Since discovery of the outrage detec- tlves have swarmed here, and, while the police will not talk, it is reported that Important clews have been found, crimes.and it is not likely that these will receive paroles, and, shiould they receive them, It will mean that they will be Immediately gobbled up by the officers of those states.

Immigration officers in San Diego, and other persons ac quainted with the border rountry, agree that there are not 25 families at the most who belong along the bor der on the Mexican side between Tia Juana and Campo. As many of the members of the 26 families are men; It Is difficult to account for 200 refu gees. San Dlegans, well Informed about the border situation, believe that the Mexican, government is allowing the wives of Its soldiers to accept Red Cross aid from the United States. '.
