DIVIDED BY LONG DIVISION
no UNANIMITY OF SENTIMENT IN
THE CONVICT QUESTION.
The Penitentiary Committee Did Not
Commit Itself to Any Plan.
Many Ideas.
Many Ideas.

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 23.-There is a
good deal,of confusion mJng the news
papers over the action of the penitentiary
committee which adjourned yesterday.
The impression is created by some of
the reports that the committee has in
dOrsed the plan suggested by Gov. Atkin-
son and Principal Keeper Turner of the
pCnitentiaTy department, and embodied
in the bill presented 10 the committee by
Hon. Hewlett Hall, chairman of TIE house
committee. This is Shy of the facts as
OCClrged ia the meeting. While it is not
at all improbable that the final report of
the subcommittee now at work upon a
bill will utilize some of the ideas in the
Hall bill, which embodied the plan of
creating a penitenriary committee of
three and empowering them to purchase
tract of land Oh which To locate the
penitentiary and work the cOnvicts, iC is
nevertheless true that so far there has
not been any Endorsement of that plan.
In fact, the committee has not only not
Endorsed the TIrner-A tkinson-H Hall plan.
but deliberately refused 10 do 50 when a
resolution to that effect was introduced
by Chairman Little of the finance COM
mittee, and fathered by him IN an urgent
address to the body. And previous to
the rejection of Nj. Little's resolution a
similar resolution introduced the day
before by Mr.. Burwel of Hancock was
also disregarded.
Another part Of the commi tees &C
tiol that has been confused in the pub
lie mind through the newspapers was
the tablng of the resolution which sought
to commit the committee unequivocally
to another lease, presumably somewhat
similar to this Old one. This resolut on
was introduced by Mr.. Hall of Coweta
Tor the purpose of ascertaining the SEN
tment of the cIIcmi ttee on that point,
and not because he himself favored it.
lie wanted to get at the views of the
committee before formally sprnging his
bill. This resolution found some vigOr-
Gus advocates, and its discussion promis-
ed to occupy the time of the committee
Tor several days. 1t was the business in
order when the committee assembled
yesterday morning, and as it threatened
to cut off everything else it was propOs-
ed that it should be LAID on the table in
order to allow other resolutions ard
plans 10 be submitted. This was
manifeStly fair proposition and was
agreed to without dissent. The resOlu-
ton was not, however, killed on it's mer-
its, according to some of the newspa-
pers. The fact remains that the Joint
committee has not pm the regular seal
OF its condemnation upon the ease act
as it now exists, and also Tat it has not
committed itself to any other plan. The
members are of various minds upon the
question, and there is little prospect that
they Will be able to agree upon all the
details OF any new plan before the meet
ing of the legislature.

The Desperate Characters in JAIN Still Max
ing Trouble.
Probably the worst and most desperate
lot of criminals ever in the Terrell coun-
ty Jail are those confined there now.
The discovery of their plot to kill Jailer
Slade last week seems to have had no
effect upon them. BY some means they
came into possession of match, and
last Friday night burned all of their
blankets. 1t is the opinion of Sheriff
Christie that their purpose in burning
the blankets was to draw the temper
from and soften the steel bars of which
the cells are made so that they could cut
through them and escape Both Sheriff
Christie and Jailer Slade are keeping a
close watch upon these desperate men
and will give them no chance to escape.

KANSAS BUTTER FOR EUROPE.
senator George Hanna Sends Car
Load Over Every Week.

senator George Hanna Sends Car
Load Over Every Week.
From the Kansas Farmer
State Senator George W. Hanna of Clay
county is known as one of the butter
kings of Kansas He is now shipping a
car load of butter every week to the mar
ketS- CT Europe. Since May 2G he has sent
fifteen car loads from Clay county to Liver
pool, and every pound has been sold at q
fair margin.
A car of Mr.. Hannas butter averages
about $500. His butter is first placed In
cold storage, where it is frozen solid: then
it goes into ammonia piped refrigerator cars
to Chicago. from which point it is carried
by boat to Liverpool The freight rate or
Kansas butter to Liverpool is only few
cents more per hundred than the rate to
New York city. 1t is this exceedingly low
freight rate which enables the Kansas but
ter-producer to make a profitable sale in
the marketsFof Europe.
Senator Hanna is well pleased with his
butter transactions, and will continue to
ship car each week to the foreigners He
sells direct to the dealers of Liverpool
thereby saving the profits of the commits
sion man. His creamery is at Clay Center,
and he has five stations in the surround
ing country. Senator Hanna believes there
is great money for Kansas in the manu-
facture of fine butter for the markets OF
Europe. Besides making a handsome profit
for himself, his pay roll for wages of en-
ployes amounts to over $500 per month.

There is an old saying that THE more
you kick dog the more he will love YOU
but there are exceptions to every rule.
Some years ago 1 was stationed at Dew
orport. A friend of mine (whorn' will call
Bates, owned a handsome retriever dog.
The animal received more kicks than
caresses from his master, and / was con-
tinually demonstrating with my friend OH
his cruelty to his dog. but his only answer
to my entreaties to be kind to the animal
was the usual one The more you kick him
the more he will love you"
l was very kind to this dog and my kind
ness was well rewarded, as the sequel will
show.
One afternoon Bates and engaged a boat
for row. Bates tried all he knew how to
prevent his dog getting into the boat but /
eventually prevailed on him to let the dog
accompany us.
On the return journey fog came on and
a passing steamer swamped u.s. with the
result that our boat upset, and we were
struggling in the water. We could not
swim, and the steamers crew could not see
us. although they could head our cries for
help.
AS was sinking the dog grabbed me and
pulled me to the upturned boat: but /
could not get him to save his master, who
was drowned.

Senior NJ. Garcia Merou. The Argentine
minister. has not yet received a copy OF
the message sent to the Argentine congress
by President Uriburu. f,,susgesting either
reciprocity treaties with the United States
or retaliatory tariff legislation If the
United States declines to make a treaty.
The present action in Argentina was
foreshadowed by Senior Merou in an Off
cial note which he sent to Secretary Sher-
man some time ago. The new American
tariff law, the minister said, fixed prac-
IIca1iy prohibitive rates on wool and hides
me wool schedule he represented to be
peculiarly cumbersome, as the Argentine
WOODS have more shrinkage than Austria
nan woods, thus permitting the latter to
nave an advantage. Minister Merou point
e1 out that Argentina had made neavy
tariH concessions to the United States.
PRESIDENT Uriburu's plan contempiates
that the Argentine tariff rates shall be re-
modelled so as to provide maximum tar
IN and a minimum tariff. similar to the
plan OF European countries. The advan-
tases OF the minimum rates will then be
accorded to tbs United States if a reciD-
focity treaty is negotiated which will give

LUETGERT-s DEFENSE.
He Was Experimenting With n New
Kind of Soap.

1t is understood in Chicago that Luet-
gerts attorneys will urge as his defense
that he was engaged on the night of May
IN experimenting formula to produce
soap The 3I5 pounds of potash ordered
from Lord, Owen & Co. were purchased for
the purpose of making soap under a process
that Luetgert bad discovered. His son
Arnold AID two other acquaintance were
let into the secret. 1t is said one man IL
March advanced money to Luetgert to
carry on the experiments, ard it was the
sausage manufacturers intention as far
back as last January to begin making soap.
Every day at the sausage works hun
dreds of pounds OF fat were sold for re
filming purposes at a price that was not
profitable, and it was Luetgert's purpose.
it is said, to make of the fat. grease
and waste meat for soap. Luetgert. his
son Arnold and one other man had made
numerous experiments at night, and dur
ing the day. too, in the factory cellar. and
it will be admitted and proved by the de-
ferse, it is said, that the fifty pounds of
arsenic. which Leutgert also purchased
fem Lord. Owen Co., were used in max
ing experiments in soapmaking.
Luetgert's financial difficulties had multi
piled during April. gays the Chicago News,
and his only hope of repairing his shat
tered fortune lay in the success that was
expected to follow his soapmaking enter
prise. Luetgert the MonGay following
the Saturday of his wife's disappearanee
was in dread that one of his largest cred
tiers would take possession of all his bust
ress interests and he would no longer have
the use of the factory for the purpose Of
continuing his soapn:aking experiments.
For this reason, it is said. he was in haste
to make an effort to carry his trials to a
successful result. And on the night the
alleged murder and bodybuilding deed is
said to have taken place. the defense is in
position, 1t is claimed, to prove that
Luetgert was in the vat room of the cellar
for the sole purpose of Fastening his eX-
periments to a successful issue. The eX-
rerimentS it is said were failures. and
Luetgert greatly disappointed. The
caustic potash was purchased from Lord.
Owen & Co. at least q month and half
before it is charged that Luetgert murder
ed his wife
