Washington, .April 9—Attorney
General Gregory, n&naunced. that
President Wilson would exercise ex
ecutive clemency in & Large number
of federal prosecutions where sus
pension of sentences 2xaa been nulli
ifie* by th© supreme court's recent
opin'on holding suah, suspension il
legal.
Clemency will be exarcised, the
attorney general said, without op
ulicatlous being made in those cases
where pleas of guilty were entered
or verdicts of guilty were entered or
verdicts of guilty returned prior to
June 15, 1916, but no sentences an
nounced, and in those cases where
the sentence imposed was less ' than
the period between the date of
imposition and June 15, 1917.
The number who will receive par
dons or commutations under the
ruling probably will run, into the
thousands.. Many of them have
been at liberty for long period® and
the president ig*understood to feel
tVat the new business and oersomal
relations thfy have been permitted
to build ug because of clemency by
the courts should not be broken
down. Under the supreme court
opinion all of them would have
been compelled, but for the presi
dents intervention, to return to
custody. , , 1 ' ,
Attorney General Gregory issued
this statement:
"The supreme court of December
4, 1916, without any dissent, in, the
case of ex parte United States, peti
♦iouev (the Ki^ita ease) decided
that United State# district Judges
had no power to suspend the impost
tirn of sentence or 'be execution cxf
sentence, except Xor the purpose of
dispos*t.g of judicial questions.
"The department of Justice has
been procuring from the United
States district attorneys a list of
capes in which, pronouncement or
execution of sentence has suspended
contrarv to the rule laid down by
♦■he suoreme court. There are more
than 5,000 of these cases, divided
into three groups.
"(1) Those la which, the sentence
Imposed was loss than tha period
between the da<o of imposition and
June 15, 1917, (TWfl being about
the date an which tho mandate In
• he Killits case will I>e s^nt down
from the supreme court)
"(2) Caseg in which pleas of
gull'j- were entered or verdicta of
guilty prior to Jun® 15, 1916, and
iu which no sentence was prxxiioamc
ed.
' (3) Remaining oases.
* Except in very unusual instano
eh rhe president will, without appJi
cations being made, close tha cases
falling within the first and second
groups by the exercise of clemency.
"The third group probably Will
consist of! a comparatively small
number of cases which will be dis
posed v.' on their merits, and *
determination reached as to wheth
tr se*;cnces will be eLfOTced op exe
cutive t'emncy roonmndd.
"If accessary, a general respite
of sis ?nonths, f.T>m June 15, 1917,
will be issued to defendants in this
sroup to secure adequate considera
tion of the fae's.
"A circular is being sent to the
United States district attorneys ex
plaining tha Policy to be pursued
and instructing them totaka *tepa

Not Wliat She Expected.
Maria was a tender, sentimental lit
tle thing, but, to put It mildly, hardly a
beauty. She was very fond of hubby,
but exacted from him rather an undue
amount of attention and service'.
"Oh, George," she complained' one
night, "I don't bo'.love you really love
me! Tell me, would you feel it. dear,
if we were pnrteu?"
"Eh—what's that?" said 'George,
brightening up.
"I mean if some one were to come
and offer to trke me away, give me a
beautiful home and every loving care
and all the best t'mt money could buy,
how would you feel?"
"It won't happen,' he answere d, re

Fyvie castle, in Scotland, has a cele
brated ghest. it seems that one of
the lords of Fyvie, early in the castle's
history,- captured among other prison
ers a lUtle drummer boy, and because
the boy refused to perform his office
for the* enemy he was thrust into his
own drum and thrown < fT the battle
ments of the castle. Ever since that
time wbchever a member of the fam

Leaves of tlic Poison Ivy.
No doubt Just a picture of poison
Ivy Is enough lo cr, :. ome folks to
shudder and rot.--rib r the time their
face and body brcaire scarlet and
swollen from contact with the leaves.
How it itched and bnrr.ed! Vet to rub
It was only to maim matters nerse.
A curious fact i- that some persons
are immune from this poison, while
others must not even breathe the pol
len of the plant. It Is often confound
ed with the Virginia creeper, although
the difference between this is distinct.
The leaves of the latter are divided
U»to five leaflets, while those of the
former have but three, a fact well
worth remembering.
Strange enough, the wlteliTmzelplant
Is sometimes found growing close to
the poison ivy. As witch hazel extract
la one of the best remedies for ivy
poisoning It would seem nature was
holding out disease in oue hand and a

Didn't Like the Lackeys.
The late John Ilelieage Jesse, the
well known author, bad an aversion,
amounting to a positive 'phobia, for the
famous British Jeauies. He was known
to stand in St. .Tames" street ou a draw
ing room day, at the edge of the curb,
and with the end of his stkk, which
he dipped into the road puddle, daub
the Immaculate stockings of the pass
ing flunkies, who, as he well knew,
dare not move from their stations, ac
companying the act with much oppro
brious language.
Crowding the Bed.
In early Victorian times the work
men were accustomed to rough it. Isa
bella Fyvle Mayo in her "Recollec
tions" mentions that one flourishing
firm of bakers—patronized by royalty—
"kept eleven men and had only one bed
for them all. During the twenty-four
hours they occupied it turn and turn
about One of these unfortunates was
generally in Charing Cross hospital,
and the 'master' got a reputation for
generosity by his yearly-subscription
to its funds."
