Pen Is the Place. —Courts of quar ter sessions have authority to sen tence wife deserters to a peniten tiary for the term of one year and the act of 1903, so far as it restricts the place of confinement of such an offender to a county jail, is repealed by the act of 1917, according to an opinion given by the Attorney Gen erals Department to John Krancies, warden of the western penitentiary. It is held that the law requires such a convict to work and that as work is part of the dicipline in a peniten tiary and not in a county jail the penitentiary is the proper place. Earnings of a convict are to be paid to the proper authority of the county whence the convict was sent to the institution. The opinion points out an inconsistency In regard to pay of prisoners between the acts of 1915 and 1917. the former fixing fifty cents a day and the latter sixty-five.
