Many Prisoners May Be Released In Near Future Overcrowded Conditions at Nebraska Penitentiary Ne cessitate Taroling of Con victs on Large Scale. Lincoln, Nov. 7. (Special.) Be cause of the bijr increase in popula tion at t!ti; penitentiary during thej iast year, releasing of convicts from lie institution on aj large scale is expected to begin in "he near future. This sctioii is necessary to relieve the overcrowded situation. There tre 53S convicts enrolled at the present tir.te of whom 87 are at the three satj roacj camps. Kven without these 87, ' the penitentiary housing accomodations are taxed to the limit. When winter compels the stopping of road work, and the con victs return to the 'institution-, it will be impossible for Warden Fenton to find" space for all of his charges. Paroles Expected Soon. It is expected that about half of the convicts who have been engaged 'in road construction will be paroled as soon as the camps are discon tinued, and others may be given com mutations or pardons. A parole list of fifteen for the month of. November has already been approved by Secretary Atjtles of the public welfare bureau. This is two or three times as many as have been going out each month during the current year. In order to provide more sleeping quarters for the convicts, Warden Fenton is asking the board of con trol to authorize the purchase of 75 or 100 cots to be placed in one of the shop buildings to be" used as a dormitory. Minimum Sentences Served. Of the 538 prisoners, including the 87 doing road work, it is said that 150 have served their minimum sen tences for felonies of the lesser de gree and are now subject to parole. Next spring it is planned to use at least 250 convicts on road work, giving summer employment to near ly half of the prison population and relieving the penitentiary of its hous ing problem for at least six months of the year.

Petrograd Soon Will Be deserted City, Figures Show Rerl n. Nov: 7. Fctrocrad will Carthaee. according to figures' in the Deutsche MedizinischeX Wochen schrift." The death rate in peace time in Petrograd was far from low; in 1914 it was 22.5 for each 1,000 pop ulation. In 1916 the figures increased to 23.5; in 1918 to 43.6 and in 1919 74.9 persons died of every 1,000 resi dents. If the rate of 74.9 is really 2a to 30 per cent below the truth, as reli able medical reports indicate, the death rate in Petrograd has reached the appalling ratio of 100 persons of every thousand, or 10 per cent. In Berlin the death rate is 13.6, in London 9.5, in Stockholm 10 and in Amsterdam 8.4. of every 1,000. Ac cording to this-, Petrograd's death rate is seven times that of Berlin and ten times that of London. Hand in hand with this steadily ; increasing death-rate is an extraordinary de crease in the birth rate, which has dropped from 20.4 births for each thousandin the year 1914 to 13 to the thousand in 1919. You can figure for yourself how long it will be at this rate tflitil Petrograd is a deserved city.
