Roosevelt’s clemency policy differs from McKinley’s approach
The article explains President Roosevelt’s stance on executive clemency for federal prisoners. He opposes clemency for those who have not yet expiated their crime or lack health or family resources, but will commute sentences when the inmate has served enough or the term is excessive. It notes prior practice under McKinley and recent clemency figures showing a very small approval rate.

Conference to settle interurban franchise questions next week
A city conference involving the Board of Works street car company and interurban railroads is planned for next week by Mayor Bookwalter. President McGowan of the street car company is in Indianapolis but has not reviewed the interurban matter. The meeting will seek public disclosure of the street car contract with Union Traction. Local interurban firms fear a confiscation of their Marion county properties if the Union contract is accepted. The Indianapolis and Western traction company seeks a separate Plainfield route, possibly via another street, due to terms with the local company.
