Lincoln, Jan. 28. (Special.) Every statute touching on pardons or paroles and the statutes on the indeterminate sentence law are re pealed and rewritten with modifica tions into the new pardon and parole law urattea by Attorney General Clarence A.

Announcement that the same measure would be introduced into the senate was made by Chairman Walter Hoagland of the-judiciary committee on the floor of the senate Friday, by way of explaining why other bills affecting these particular laws had been killed by the commit tees. Based on Amendments. The new bill, which takes for its foundation the terms of the new constitutional amendments regulat ing procedure in parole and par dons, goes further in a number of interesting features. -The indeterminate sentence law is modified to allow judges imposing sentence to fix the term at any point between the maximum and minimum provided by law for that particular offense. Among other features is one that makes it a crime for any individual to approach any member of the board on the subject of a parole of pardon, when the board is not irf . formal session, and the, same prohibition ap plies to prospective cases that may come up in the future. The legality of revoking paroles and recommitment is disposed of by a clause authorizing the board at its discretion to issue proper war rants in its own name. Cannot Leave State. , The law in another section makes if a felony 'for a paroled man to leave the state without authority a felony punishable in itself with a one ' to five-year penitentiary term. Evidence before the board mu&t all be under oath, and provision is made for a record 'of the proceedings. One concession made to the con demand man in the proposed law -he may at the discretion of the board get a furlougfc tor not more thari 10 days either under guard or not in cases of illness or death in his family. Although the constitution makes no provision for publication or no tice. the attorney general has in corporated such a provision, and has added the county sheriff to the judge and prosecuting attorney who must be notified of all hearings or pardons or paroles. The notice must be pub lished twice in the county from whfch the prisoner comes. Some State Representatives - ' VV .
