Papers Here For
v Fire on Paroles
McKelvie Says Sensational
Press Biased Public Mind
s Puts Ban on Interviews
With One Daily.
... Lincoln, . Nov. 19. (Special.)-
' Omaha newspapers are criticised by
Oovernor McKelvie. for iheir atti
tude ' toward the parole policy in a
(tatement issued today. Simul
taneously it was announced that one
of the Omaha evening newspapers
would be barred hereafter from in
terviewing the governor on the
grounds that it had refused to con
sider a telephone interview con
fidential until tlte executive crtjild is
sue a formal statement covering the
case of Brn Mar-hall, a pervert,
whose name was at first included on
the parole list.
S "I am convinced that the manner
in which certain sensational Omaha
newspapers have discussed the dis
position of. .the prisoners who were
employed in the road camps has
caused some misunderstanding of
the facto in this cake the governor's
statement begins.
Earn Their Release
' He then declares that the men who
have been released on parole had
served their minimum sentences and
had earned their release. Every man
to released had been provided with
employment before he left prison.
Alter explaining the manner ot se
lecting men for the road gang as
being based on their trustworthiness,
first offenders on short sentences be
ing preferred, he states that only
four out of 100 violated the con
fidence. " ' Me explains the necessity for re
leasing solne prisoners by the fact
that: the-state penitentiary is over
crowded and the younger and less
f hardened are unduly subjected to
contamination by. the herding with
professional criminals.
2 s No Cause for Alarm.
lie stales that fewer men have
been released under his administra-
lion than tinder any in the last eight
years ar.d .. assures the public that
there is no occasion for alarm about
the manner iniWnich' releases are
made.' v ,
Itecenr paroles -were issued only
after conferencev'with Warden Fen
ton, Secretary jAntles of the state
welfare department, E. M. Johnson,
secretary of the bureau,, of social
service. &nd L. C. Oberfles of the
State Board Of Control.
Plama, fiMiaBflAnili.m
"t find that the principal' trouble
in connection with handling this sit
uation is occasioned not bv the nor
mal attitude of the public, but by the
sensational manner in which certain
unreliable newspapers treat thev
facts," he says. ,
"Exceptional 4casejj are. used as a
basis for establishing in the public
mind an opinion regarding the con
' duct of the whole. The manifest in
justice of such newspaper policy
must be apparent to everyone, and 4
do not hesitate to say that it dis
poses to create "a" conditiou in the
public mind that seriously menaces

Nebraska Senator
Predicts Changes in
-Tariff to Aid Farmers
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, tNov. 19, Congress
will amend the tariff law so as f.o
cie protection to the farmers of
the country on their products, it was
predicted today by benator Morns
of Nebraska and Senator Sterling
cf South Dakota.
They do not look for any tariff
legislation at the short session of
congress, but expect that the. new
duties protecting the farmers' will be
carried in a general revision of the
tiriff after the new congress meets.
A law, increasing tariff dude's and
levying tariffs- on importations of
wheat and com and other agricul
tural products, they pointed out,
probably would be vetoed by Mr.
Wilson. -
"There ' is no more reason why
the farmers of the United States
should be denied protection in their
business than American manufac
tuirs should be denied protection,"
said Senator Norris.1

Gophers So Numerous
At Nebraska Prison
They Are a Menace
Lincoln, Nov. 19. Ordinarily
Warden W. T. Fenton. of the state
penitentiary here does not have trou
ble in keeping animals locked out of
the prison. The penitentiary is so
constructed that iris no more trou
ble to keep people and animals out
than it, is to keep prisoners in.
With' gophers it is different.
Locks, bars and stone walls mean
nothing to their young lives. If they
want in tne prison they can burrow
their way under the wall.
Gophers are so numerous on. the
prison farm adjoining the prison
that it has become necessary to ex
terminate them. A large alfalfa field
has been uprooted by. the gophers.
When the warden's attention first
was called to the destruction, he im
mediately ordered a nearby guard to
declare war against thenO
"If necessary turn out a hundred
men to kill them off," he ordered.
Within a few minutes a squad of
prisoners was busy trying to kill the
pests.
