Right.

When convict is released from prfs-
on he is invariably notified by the no
lice of Saltwater that his presence is
not desired in that city. Even though
he may have employment in prospect
there, he is told to move on. and to IA
cilitate this a list of convicts whose
terms expire during the month is fur
nished the chief of police.
a G o reporter visited Saltwater
yesterday and found an amused smile
on the faces of many citizens there
in appreciation of the situation i'm
which the prison officials were placed
through the eagerness of somebody to
refute some of the charges made
through the c. | o q. A convict named
Edward Sutherland, an Itasca county
man, had been released a couple of
days ago, but he was not fired ont of
town, across the bridge, until the To-
cal reporters and correspondents had
Deen given a chance to surround him
ana to make him voice the sentiment
that during his Imprisonment he had
never seen any brutality or cruelty in
prison; that Deputy Lemon leaned to
the other extreme and was not severe
enough"
This caused many saltwater people
TO smile In years past they have
heard many statements and reports
about Lemon. and were even person
ally acquainted with him before the
G 10 b exposure.
The prison scandal continues to be
the topic of conversation in the Bluff
City, but the people are cautious about
expressing their opinions. Everybody
wants to know where the other man
is at before talking.

the punishment should be something more
severe than the cutting off of the pie sup

phenomena and avill occupy some time.
The town has becc.fe a heap of ruins
and great damage has been done. The
scientists have not found any signs of
a new volcano. about which so much
has been said, and as was reported sew
eral times by Indians, who asserted
that they had seen il. 1t is now be-
lieved that a small volcano is possibly
forming under ground, from which
come roaring sounds heard during the
shocks, and it is more likely this may
open a tremendous caving in Of the

at the navy department today of pro-
posals for building three torpedo boats,
called together more bidders, as one

ATTACK ON BRYAN.
Man Named Bateman Charges Direct
Bribery.

Lewiston, Me-, June 21.-Professor L.
C. Bateman Of Auburn. who was the
candidate of the Peoples party of
Maine for governor last year, and who
is a leader of the middle-of-the-rOad
forces in this state, today published an
attack on william ]. BRYAN.
Professor Bateman says that Popu-
list Congressman Freeman Knowles Of
South Dakota. while on his recent trip
to his old home in Skowheoan, Me,
gave out the information that Mr..
Bryan's recent gift of 81, 800 to the Pop
ulist national committee was made
with the distinct understanding that no
action against fusion should be taken
by the Peoples party at the next ma
tiona1 convention.
This, - Jfessor Bateman also says, is
nothing more than direct bribery. Pro-
fessor Bateman also says that Mr.
Bryan has appended his (Bateman's
name to Senator Aliens letter of noti-
fication given out last September. Bate
man was secretary OF the notification
committee. but did not sign the letter
in question. He says that Mr.. Bryan's
