Gov Leedy last week, held a meeting
at the Copeland last night and perfect
ed an organization. Ex-Gov. George w.

800 square feet. One thousand square
feet of space was donated by the man

WAR TALK FOOLISH.
Henry George, Jr., on His Wedding
Trip Finds Time to Talk.

Vancouver, B. c., April 5-Henry
George of New York, son of the late ia
nous author, arrived here with his
bride on their honeymoon today They
left later for San Francisco Speaking
of the prospect of war, he said that he
thought 1t was all foolishness, and that
he was opposed to it.
He further said that the war talk is
mostly the talk of people who have
some personal interest at stake, and
who have for a number of years been
agitating for Notifications along the
coast, and now $50, 600, 900 has been voted
by congress for the purchase of imple-
ments of war, but that the money that
may be spent on the guns and armor
they purchase now will be practically
worthless as paraphernaLa of war in
five years from the present time, so
great is the change in a short time of
the construction of such munitions they
would be absolute then

TAMMANY WILL AID.
Democratic Organization Of New york
to Furnish SO Regiments.

New York, April 5.-Tammany Hall
sent one regiment to the civil war. The
leader of Tammany says that Tam
many will send SO regiments to fight
Spain if they are needed. Here is the
statement from Richard Croker:
1t seems to me that war with Spain
is inevitable. If it comes Tammany
Hall will be ready to furnish troops
and other aid as may be required for
the defense of the country. During the
civil war Tammany sent to the front a
regiment whose name and gallant deeds
became historic.
Tammany is to-day, or soon will be,
ready to send SO regiments of 1000
each, if the service of so many are
needed. When war is declared the
President will be offered all the help
this organization can command
Just off the office I sometimes oc-
cupy in Tammany Hall are the ban
ners, or, rather, what is left of the
banners, that the gallant Forty-second
bore on many bloody field up to the
surrender at Appomattox. Beneath
those banners fell hundreds of the
brave fellows. At Gettysburg, 1 think
it was, fully one-third of the men in
the regiment lost their lives fighting for
those flags. Should there again be oc-
cas1on, Tammany will show it's prac-
teal patriotism

SOFT ON A FooTPAD.
Board of Pardons Should Fortify Itself
Against Another Bad Break.

Lawrence Carson, a young man who
was sent to the penitentiary from Ar
kansas City in 1893 for ten years for
highway robbery, has appealed to the
state board of pardons for release. Car
son was supposed to be one of a party
of three young men who held up an old
man named Chittuck and robbed him of
all he had, which amounted to 40 cents.
There now seems to be some question
as to Carson being one of the party and
his friends say that even if he was,
five years is sufficient punishment for
robbing man of 20 cents.
Of course if the old man had had 500
Carson would have taken that just the
same. The fact that he had only 20
cents does not make Carson's motive or
his crime any the less. The maudlin
sentiment that is continually letting
footpads and such out of the peniten-
tiary and which finds voice through the
board of pardons is responsible for the
large increase in crime.

THEIR SHOES NODDED
In Damp Penitentiery Atmosphere
Before Warden Landis Made
improvements.

Harry Lands, warden at the peniten-
| tiary, who is now in the city preparing
| to file his report for the month of
March, in discussing the recent attack
made upon him by D. r. Anthony in
the LeavenwOrth Times, said today:
81 will pay any man 800 for proof
that I, or any of the penitentiary auth
critics under my charge ever solicited
one penny from any of the prisoners
for supposed influence for the securing
of pardons, as charged in the Leaven-
worth Times. Money talks, and if Mr..
Anthony or any one else who believes
or appears to believe such statement
wants to make 800 they have the
chance.
1.-The whole story as printed in the
Times was lie from beginning to
end he continued. after it appeared
I took occasion to look up the records
in regard to time lost by punishment
and sickness under Warden Lynch in
1896, and under my management in 1897.
Under Lynch's management there were
$40 prisoners in the penitentiary and
there are now 965, and in proportion to
numbers 1 found that the time lost by
punishment in 1897 was 20 per cent less
than the time lost in 1896. I found that
40 per cent less time was lost in 1897
on account of sickness than in 1896 This
1 believe is due to the fact that one of
the first moves 1 made at the peniten-
tiary was to equip the cell rooms with
large electric fans by means of which
the air is changed every three minutes.
Before the fans were put in the air was
horrible during the early hours of the
morning., and have seen many pair
of damp shoes mold in the atmosphere
during the night.
THE prisoners at the state peniten-
tiary never received better food than
they do at present, and never had as
much of a variety. Formerly the bill
of fare consisted of hash in the morn
ing, beef and potatoes at noon and
bread and mOlasseS in the evening. I
vary the morning meal with rations of
eggs, at dinner they have spareribs and
mutton breast as we'll as good whole
some meat and potatoes, and in the
evening they have either milk and Oat-
meal, or oatmeal muSh, and apple sauce
and tomatoes. We canned 1000 gallons
of tomatoes at the penitentiary last
summer, and put up 5000 pounds ofdried
apples.
There never has been a night shift
at the penitentiary coal mines, and out
of the 965 men in the institution only
245 of them are employed in the mines.
None of the penitentiary coal is sold on
the commercial market.
Speaking of COAL" said Lands, in
conclusion, reminds me that the rec
ing the past eight years members of the
Republican administrations received
from the state penitentiary coal mines
coal for their personal use amounting to
81, 900, and that not one cent was ever
paid the state for the fuel. This is not
an empty statement, and / will gladly
show any one who doubts it the books
in the chief clerks office which show
debts for coal shipped the state officers
to that amount without one correspond
ing credit"

That IL Miles of Track.

Attorney General Boyle and Railroad
Commissioner w. p. billiard returned
today from Little Rock, Ark, where
they went last week to protest against
the Wichita & Western road tearing up
II miles of track in Pratt county. The
litigation between Pratt county and the
Wichita & Western road is in the Uni
ted States circuit court, and Judge Will
hams is at present holding court at
Little Rock. Judge Williams declined
to hear the case, stating that he would
prefer to let Judge Foster, who will re-
turn this week from California, settle
the matter, as he is familiar with all
the details of the litigation. He stated,
however, that if he was sitting in the
case, he would be compelled to deny the
railroad company the right to tear up
the track

ernor Leedy some time ago.

lowing statement:
II have not so far received enough
pledges from members of the legislature
to warrant me in calling the legislature to-
gether, and the time is now so far adj
vanced that every day lessons the chance
of the session being called
This practically means that Governor
Leedy has abandoned a special session of
the legislature.
Il feel that I have done all I could in
the matter" continued Governor Leedy.
Il have written the reluctant members
repeatedly and argued the matter with
them, and have come to the conclusion
that can do no MORE

ed five or six pledges of having a major
ity of the members of the house.

Penitentiary Directors.

Governor Leedy has reappointed
Charles E. Allison, of Erie, Neosho
county, a member of the board of di-
rectors of the state penitentiary, for a
term of three years. The place pays
per diem and actual expenses of the
5000 A. A. Newman, of Clay Center.
and NJ. l.. Drake, of Canton, are the
other two members of the board.
There is a peculiar feature about the
terms of Newman and Drake. When
Governor Leedy appointed them he
failed to say who he appointed for
three years and who he appointed for
two years, and he will now have to
make up his mind which member he
meant for the short term.
