PENNSYLVANIA PRISONS
Official Report Filled With Lies-Pris-
oners Maltreated

PHILADELPHIA. May 21.-Today's ses-
sionesef the legislative committee investi-
gatie W management of the state peni-
tentiafles was sensational. Judge Gay
Gordon was the star witness. He said the
official reports of the prison were filled
with falsehood. and that he could prove
that the treatment of many convicts had
been brutal and cruel.
He said that the institution reported
that there were ten insane patients In
November last, and an Investigation made
by him showed there were fifty at that
time. OF these he said that nine are now
in insane aslums and one Is dead from the
result of cruel treatment at the prison.
Thirty-siX of the insane convicts he said,
are still in cells in The prison. He in
stanced the case Of McCGe, a prisoner
whom he had ordered sent from the prison
to the NCrthtoWn state insane asylum, and
who died the next day, as alleged by the
Judge. from a beating he received the
night before his removal from the peni-
tentiary He told of another insane con-
vict, colored man named Prentiss who
for eight months has been tied to the prison
steampipes every night.

ROBBED AND KILLED
A San Francisco Mans Death jst
Napa

NAPA, May 21.--L. B. Colburn died
at the County Infirmary here yesterday
under circumstances which point to foul
play. A week ago he was found in a
boXcar at Napa Junction in a semi-un-
conscious condition and apparently un-
able to move his limbs. He could not
give any account of himself, so the sta
ton agent thought him insane and sent
to Napa for officers. There were no
marks on his body but the autopsy re-
vealed a fracture of the base of the
skull and of the first vertebra, evidently
the result of a blow. Colburn's mother
came from San Francisco yesterday and
says that the young man started from
San Francisco about two months ago
with horse and buggy, canvasslng for
some tailoring house and for a picture
erlarging concern. On May 8th he wrote
to her from Stockton that he was going
to Napa. No trace can be found of his
horse and buggy nor of his sample cases.
The officers here think that he was rob-
bed at some station on the railroad and
thrown on the car.

A LATIN WAR
Fierce Fighting on the Uruguayan
Frontier

NEW YORK, May 21.-A special to the
Herald from Montevideo says: Another
attempt has been made to assassinate
President Borda of Uruguay.
The first attempt was made by boy
who tried to shoot the President; the
last by means of a bomb, which was sent
to the President from La Plata, Argen-
tina. and which he received recently.
The bomb was in box arranged so
that it would explode when opened
Fortunately suspicion was aroused and
the box was turned over to the police
and destroyed.
Fierce fighting has been going on for
four days near the Brazilian frontier.
The fighting is still in progress and both
sides have sustained heavy losses.
Lamas, one of the rebel leaders, has
continued at the head of his force for
four days, in spite of the fact that he has
been seriously wounded. Both sides
have had practically no rest since the
beginning of the engagement.

GASOLINE KINDLING
MADE THE FIRE BURN VERY
MUCH BRIGHTER
Three People Burned to a Crisp and
the Death of Four Others
Seems Probable

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 21.-Mrs Ada
Mohr, 3S years old, and Baby Mohr, Is
months old, were burned to crisp and
their bodies taken to the morgue.
Hugo Howard, 10 months old, died after
removal to the hospital.
Mrs. Bessie Howard, 26 years old Sc
verely burned.
William Howard, years old proba-
bly, fatally burned, and expected to die
at the hospital.
Max Gumpert and Henry Surman,
painfully burned.
These horrors constitute the sum total
aside from property damage which re-
suited from a gasoline explosion in the
upper rooms of 2341 Menard street. oc-
cu2ed by Gustav Mohr last night.
The kitchen in the rear of the second
story of 2341 Menard street was trans
formed into roaring furnace in a fash.
In this furnace were confined a help

months old tot of neighbor. The mother
perished in torturing agony. One of the
little ones was sacrificed to the raging
fire. For her desperate effort to save
her baby's life another mother will prob
ably sacrifice her own on the altar Of
maternal affection.
Mrs. Mohr, in whose kitchen the ex-
plosion occurred, in order to make the
fire in the cook stove burn faster poured
gasoline over the wood. The blaze in
the stove ignited the can of gasoline
and an explosion followed. The burning
oil was thrown in all directions, envel-
opirg Mrs. Mohr and the children. Mrs.
Howard. who was also cooking supper
in her house, heard the cries of the
children, and running out on the porch
caught sight of the flames. She darted
into the burning kitchen and began
cropping for her boy. she was dragged
from the room by Max Gumpert.
