Washington, D. C, The Depart
ment of Justice forwarded to pres
ident Wilson a unique application
for pardon. Prisoner 75, whose
name is not given, in the federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kan., ap
plied for freedom in verse. The
president has not yet considered the
case.
Here is the application:
I want to go home, to the place of
my birth,
've been long enough on this part
of the earth;
The walls look so gloomy, and so do
the towers
want to return to the land of the
flowers.
Dear old California, I miss you so
want to get back where the oranges
grow;
want to get out, and breath "God's
fresh air,
want to attend the big Frisco fair;
love the mountains where one's
free to roam,
want to go home, I want to go
home.
'I see in my fancy the church on
the hill,
The river below It, the old sawmill;
The cows coming home o'er the bill
thro' the lane; '
want oh! so much to go back
there again,
am ashamed of my misspent life.
Toil without recompense, worry and
strife,
Once I was blind but now I can see,
And the simple life looks good to
me.
want to make good, I want to a-tone;
Mr. President, please send me home.
'Dear old Frisco, you can't be beat;
'I fancy now I'm on old Mraket
street,
Watching the crowds as they come
and go,
Frisco, Frisco, I love you so;
love the mountains, I love the sea.
California, you are for ma-
want to get out and roll on the
green;
I don't want to wait until 1915.
The sea gull is resting at peace on
the foam;
I want to go home! Oh, I want to go
home!
I was in hopes the parole law would
suffice.
But the honorable board has denied
me now twice;
I'm full of remorse, I feel the dis
grace-
hoped the new board would re
open my case-
Now all that's left for me to do
Is to send this humble petition to
you.
I've obeyed the rules as best I could
If you can do anything for me, 1
wish you would.
And I hope and pray e're the swal
lows have flown
The message will come, 'Discharged,
go home.
I've no fault to find with the U. S
P.
It's up to date, we'll all agree;
I've nothing against the Sunflower
state.
But I want to go back to the Golden
Gate:
Where the people flock from Paris
and Rome,
There's nothing sweeter than home
sweet home.
This unjust sentence I may not sur
vive.
My number is 75;
I'm scared to death of a numbered
stone.
I want to go -home, I want to
home."

Sheriff Cal Cox, who has been in
Lincoln attending the annual meet
ing of the International Sheriff's as
sociation and the annual meeting of
the association of Nebraska sheriffs,
held together, reports that he was
successful in securing the next Ne
braska convention to be held in Al
liance. The sheriff's convention
will be held at the same time as the
stockmen's convention, probably in
June.
The Lincoln Daily Star had the
following to say regarding tne con
vention there:
Accepting of the Invitation of J.
W. Connelly, of Washington, D. C,
to bold the next annual meeting of
the International sheriffs' association
at Cincinnati in 1915, the meeting
of the international sheriffs' associ
ation which has been in session dur
ing the past three days, was brought
to a close shortly before midnight
last night. The sheriffs will meet in
Cincinnati at the same time that the
international order of chief of police,
and international association chief of
special agents meet at that place.
During the closing session of the
three days' meeting the association
voted to amalgamate with the inter
national associations of chief of po
lice and special agents, or adopted
the pfan of President Connelly, of
the chief special agents of the conn-
try, which he proposed at the meet
ing Wednesday morning.
Officers Elected
Preceding the selection of the
meeting place for the convention of
1915, the election of officers took
place, resulting in the re-election of
all of the officers of the association
for the ensuing year, as follows
Louis Eckardt of Davenport, Iowa,
president; L. G. Calder of Saskatoon,
Saek., vice president and William A.
Gerber of St. Paul, secretary and
treasurer.
Resolutions thanking the city of
Lincoln and Sheriff and Mrs. Gus A
Hyers for tne entertainment were
adopted by the convention.
J. W. Dreger, ex-sheriff of Minne
apolis. Minn., ex-president of the in
ternatlonal association of sheriffs
gave an address last evening on the
subject of "Crime and Criminals ,
During the course of his address, he
characterized the laws of the coun
try as bleng too lenient with crlm
lnals, especially for offenses by which
the common people suffer, such
those who occupy positions of trust
in which the funds of the public and
the common people are placed.
At 6 o'clock the visitors went to
the state penitentiary by special
ears, to attend a ball game and pro
gram that had been arranged for the
visiting sheriffs by Warden Fenton
The ball game commenced at 6:30
p. m. and was between the Black
Diamonds and the All Stars, the lat
ter winning by a score of 7 to 6. Fol
lowing the ball game the visitors
were escorted into the new dining
hall where several speeches were
made by the members of the associ
ation, and various other parties who
accompanied the visitors.
It was the concensus of opinion of
all that attended the meeting that It
was the most successful one ever at
tempted and that the entertainments
were the best ever. All members
were very enthusiastic in claiming
Lincoln as the best convention city
in the west.
Effective Saturday July 25, and
continuing threugh the stock ship
ping season, probably until Sunday,
November 1, stock pick up extras
will be run out of Alliance on Satur
