NO TURKEY FOR CoNvICrs.
Exorbitant Prices Bar the Bird for the
Christmas Dinner.

Lansing, Kan, Dec. .22.-The exorbit-
ant demands of the Trust deny the
convicts of the Kansas penitentiary
their usual Christmas dinner of poul-
try this year. Formerly, it was the
custom of the warden to send out
among the farmers and buy turkeys at
forty and fifty cents apiece, which, ad-
ded to the regulation mince pies and an
assortment of vegetables, reminded the
convictS of the Christmas dinners their
mothers used to cook. This was the
bill of fare at Christmas in all well reg
ulated penitentiaries, until the meat
packers reached out and added poultry
to their staples. This sent turkeys out
of sight, financially speaking, and the
wardens substituted chicken, until this
year even that time honored delicacy
of the poor man rests so high in the
market that wardenS must find some
thing else.
Warden Jewett has choice between
fresh beef and fresh pork. He might
serve beefsteak, but his family" has
roast beef, CT boiled beef, or beef hash
so often that it would hardly be a
square DEAF to serve it at Christmas,
even in a different form, and so he has
decided to kill some hogs and give the
convictS fresh pork, adding vegetables
and mince pies. A dinner of that kind
will cost the state $3.50, counting in a
breakfast. Usually the prisons three
daily meals cost about $50. The feast
will be spread Monday at 8 o'clock, as
the sunday dinner IS served, ana the
usual bread and molasses of the daily
evening meal will be dispensed with.
Some of the convicts who have
friends close by on the outside will have
turkey and all the "fixings' that go
with it. Warden Jewett encoura geS
this practice. 1t keeps up the hope and
courage of the convicts and makes bet
ter men of them. He also encourag es
them to write letters to their friends
who write in reply, and so hope and the
f11t Ixrhn in
minds. He permits them to receive
from their friends underwear of a bet
ter quality than the state gives, and if
an outgoing prisoner wants to send
back to a friend inside bit of fruit
or other gift not barred by the prison
regulations. no objection is made.

WOULD HURRY IT UP.
President Wants Prompt Action In
Regulation of Railroads.

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 22.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has discussed with sew
eral callers proposed legislation re-
carding the question of railroad
freight rebates and the question OF enl-
towering the interstate commerce
commission with auth GRITTY to august
freight rates where found to be excess
sive. Among those who talked with
the president were Secretary MORTON
and e. P. Bacon, chairman OF tne Elk
ecutive committee of the lnterstale
commerce commission. The president
is anxious that the legislation in the
interest of shippers be enacted at the
earliest practical date, and the malter
has been considered by him with many
of his recent callers. 1t was stated py
one of the presidents callers that At
torney General Moody now was en-
gagged in the preparation OF a Dill
which substantially would embody the
views of the administration on the
question and the measure would be
presented probably soon after the hol1-
day recess. The president has an
nounced the bill he is willing to sup
port must be fair to both the railroads
and the people.
He believes that the initial steps to-
ward the desired legislation should be
taken at the present session or con-
gress, and If possible that the leg1sla-
ton proposed should be crystalIzed
into law at this time.
Senator Hayburn of Idaho had an
extended talk with the president on the
subject of federal charters for corpor-
atoms doing an interstate commerce
business. The senator indicated his in
tention to introduce in the senate after
the holidays a measure providing for
the incorporation under United states
laws of all corporations doing an in
terstate- business. The bill. as pro-
posed by Senator Hayburn, will pro-
vide that corporations now in exist
ence must take out federal charters
and that such corporations as may be
organized thereafter also shall incor-

ROBBED GUESTS.
Chicago Bell Boys Organize for Pur-
pose of Stealing.

Chicago, Dec. ga gang of bell
boys organized to steal the property of
guests in the down town hotels has
been discovered by the police and
money and jewelry, amounting to
nearly $1,000, has been found in their
possession. The discovery was the re-
suit of the theft of $3.50 and two gold
watches from Edward Combs. His
roommate, Ernest Greenstern, was ar
rested and confessed. He told the
police that Frank Barsted, a bell boy
in down town hotel, could lead them
to where the money had been hidden.
Barsted was taken to Lincoln park
and pointed out a stone at the end of
a culvert under a bridge. Here the
money and three watches were found.
Further disclosures made by Green
stern led to the arrest of John Kerr
and Chester Price. All of these are
employed in large hotels. One of the
thefts the boys confessed is that of
sixteen diamonds from an actress.
Barsted said their plan was to rob
guests as they slept. 1t is said they
sometimes used chloroform.

JESSIE MORRISON BUSY.
Teaching Convict Women the Art of

Leavenworth, Dec. 22.-Jessie Morrison,
the Ell Dorado woman, who is in for kill
ing her rival in the affections of worth
less man, is making no effort for a par
don. She is willing to wait time and
in a few years vii lrenew her application.
In the meantime she is busy with needle
work and she has taught all the convicts
of the women's ward the delicate art of
drawn work. Even the negro women have
become skillful under her instruction, and
one very black woman excels ever her in
structress in the art. The warden has
sold nearly $500 worth of drawnwork since
Jessie Morrison entered the prison. Be
fore her advent no products of the kind
were turned out by the prison. The wo-
men sometimes are allowed scraps of
linen which, after the regular hours, they
can make into handlSerchiefS and doilies
and give to outside friends.

They hid his eyes from sight;
