split was caused by the fact that Cyrus

Inc theory Of the indeteFnainate SEN
tence law is that crime is a sort of dis
ease and that criminals ought not to be
sentenced for 4 fixed term but should
go 10 the penitentiary and undergo dis
clpllne until they give evidence of hav-
ing reformed just the same as an in
sane person is sent to an asylum until
ne is known to have reformed His
tory shows that punishment does not
necessarily reform prisoners, for some
come back to the prison two, three, four
OF more times. Under the fixed SEN
tence law prisoner may be kept long
after he has reformed or he may be
released when he has not reformed at
all If his sentence expires. Our new law
is not strictly an indeterminate sen
tence law, for it makes a minimum and
maximum of sentence.
For instance, suppose a man is sent
to the penitentiary the minimum sen
tence for whose crime is one. year and
the maximum is seven years. He must
stay at least the one year. but then, if
he gives evidence Of reformation the
board may parole him. His parole will
remain in force, however, during the
seven years and if he violates it during
that time he may be taken back to the
penitentiary.
a great many prisoners come to the
penitentiary because they are not &C
customed to restraint and do not dis
cipline themselves. They have little
will power During the duration Of
their minimum sentence they Will be
disciplined in the prison. Then when
they are paroled they are required to
keep away from evil influences and this
requires self-restraint on their part and
develops their will power. so that by
the time their maximum sentence has
expired they are entirely cured of the
tendency to criminality.

with Governor Bailey with regard ID

sentence law passed by the last legisln-
ture which has just become effectiv..

This law virtually relieves the gov.
ernor of the responsibility of the pa
role law placing the power to parole
with the board Of prison managers ATTIC
the prisoner has served the minimum
sentence imposed by law for the crime
of which he is convicted. The new law
provides that court in sentencing a
prisoner shall not fx the time of the
sentence but its length shall be de-
termined by the proof of reformation
which the prisoner gives during the
minimum time for which he can be
enhanced
There are perhaps 400 prisoners in
the penitentiary who have never VIC.

TWO MORE BODIES.
Corpses of the Last of the
ShunkwiIer Family Located.

An effort to dislodge the bodies Of the
two children that are still embedded in
the ruins of the shunkwiler home at
1913 North Harrison street will be made
with dynamite this afternoon.
Both have been located but cannot be
removed because of the debris with
which they are covered. Both bodies are
in the angle formed by the wall ana
ceiling Of the overturned house. The
water over them is three or four feet
in depth In the collapse of the building
the bodies were covered beneath the
furniture of the room and the mud that
washed ir upon the wreck makes work
very slow. Nothing was accomplished
toward removing. the bodies Friday.
This afternoonll dynamite viii be ex-
ploded near the ruin in hope of dislOdg-
ing the wreckage with Which the bodies
are covered.

ONE WAY TO DO IT.
Examples of States and Cities
That Have Helped Us.

During our troubles If the misty past.
drouth ard grasshoppers, number of
state legislatures and cities appropriated
money for the relief of Kansas sufferers.
New York state did. Boston did. New
York city did. Why can not the state of
Kansas and the city of Topeka do these
things for ourselves now inasmuch as
others did for when we were not so
prosperous ard stop additional gifts from
our lind and generous eastern friends2
cannot help ourselves. however inaccurate
the statement MAJ be. that in our neces-
gary bond issues for public improvements
We may find we will have to pay dear fer
cur outside whistles in the shape of in
creased interest to float the bonds2
We don't ALWAYS mean What we say
We are wei off, but have omitted assert
ing it for several weeks.

GREAT COST OF YACHT RACING

times, while docking the craft for
cleaning and smoothing purposes means
large additional sums.
A Great First Cost.
The rather startling statement was
made by Sir Thomas Upton four years
ago that the mere cost of the Shamrock
| was between 100000 and 100000,
while the expense of bringing the vessel
across the ocean and that of her Of
hcerS and crew was extra. That seems
a big lot to pay for the vessel, but Sir
Thomas should be the best of authority
on the subject of the cost of the yacht
If he expended sum approaching
half million dollars four years ago
for his challenging yacht. the money
the present trip is costing him must be
far in excess of the figures named. The
Upton fleet now here is proof of that.
1t is easy to believe that the Shamrock
III cost quite as much to build as the
Shamrock l, and it is quite sure the
bringing over of three crews, those of
the Shamrocks and of the tender Cru
zier must stand him in a bigger
amount than the single crew of four
years ago and the additional assistance
he obtained in this country.
SO, If $500, 900 or more represented the
outlay the first attempt he
made upon the Americas cup, it can
safely be estimated that something in
the neighborhood of $500, 900 will be re-
CURED to foot the bills at home and
here incidental to his third trial to win
the old trophy.
With the amount that it costs the de-
Tending side, however, the interest is
more widespread. BY the time the
yachts are called to sail the first race
for the cup. the Reliance selected to
defend it, will have cost one way and
another. S435,000 or more. That is u
staggering amount to contemplate; but
when everything is cleared up at the
md of the season it may be $45O,0OO.

ALL FOOLS NOT DEAD.

Newark, y. j., Aug. 15.--Argument
in the application for the appoint
ment OF a receiver for the Univer-
sal Tobacco company was resumed to-
day before Vice Chancellor Pitney by
Attorney General McCarter of counsel
for the defendant corporation. Nc
Carter said that the fact that the corr
poration wanted more capital was no
proof of insolvency. He asked:
Where are those men who have made
millions out of the scheme by selling
outo"
Vice Chancellor Pitney, interrupting,
said: Il do not quite agree with coun-
sci that many made millions. | as
sumo that they made about $500, 600.
less expenses. What they got beyond
that was by cheating somebody
Wheeler II. Peckham followed for the
defense. He began by reading the text
Of the new Massachusetts corporation
law, but was interrupted by Vice
Chancellor Pitney
THE Massachusetts Judiciary is de-
generating" aR2ounced the vice chan
cellor, 'and | don't consider their opin-
ion any more. Thirty years ago it was
different"
When Mr.. Peckham resumed by re-
ferring TO the vice chancellor's opinion
of Massachusetts as similar to that of
the opinion expressed by the court
few days ago regarding Wall street ana
stock imitation. he was again inter-
rupted by the vice chancellor, who
said.
You know, and 1 know. and every
body ought to know, that stock is in
hated to unload it on the public. 1
it a fraud and the people who
buy are fools. The men who initiate
the stock take advantage Of the old
