Kansas, who, by invitation of the Gov
ernor and Prison Directors of this
State, comes to inspect the penal insti-
tutions of California, arrived here to-
day and tonight went to Folsom
prison. McLoughry is regarded as one
of the most experienced students of
penology in this country, reputation
he has earned after many years Of
work in various positions, such as chief
of police at the Chicago Exposition,
superintendent of the Huntington Re-
formatory School of Pennsylvania and
warden of Joliet Prison.
During his stay in California Nc
Laughry will spend the greater part of
his time within the State prisons, max
ing careful study of the conditions
existing at the Folsom and San Quen-
tin penal institutions, with a view to
giving to the wardens and the Prison
Directors the benefit of his advice and
judgment as to needed reforms. That
many changes are needed is an opin-
ion that is shared by all the directors
and the wardens.
McLaughry expects to remain at Fol-
som several days and will then go to
San Quentin. After thoroughly ac-
quainting himself with the affairs of
both places and attending meetings Of
the Prison Directors he will settle down
TO close study of the opportunities for
reforms, and when his final conclusions
are arrived at his views will be incor-
porated in report to the Governor.

MASKED MEN BLOW UP
PIPE LINE IN KANSAS
Take Action Against Gas Company
Which Is Approved by Many
Residents.

COFFEYVILLE, Kas., Dec. 1s.-
Between Liberty and the Verdigris
River more than a mile of the par
TALLY completed pipe line of the Kan
sas Natural Gas Company was blown
UP with dynamite by masked men
some time during the night. The pipe
was broken and great holes torn in
the right of way. The perpetrators
are unknown. Beside being masked
they were otherwise disguised. The
officials of the company have as yet
taken no steps to investigate.
The act is openly approved by many
of the residents here. The explosions
are the result Of a fight that has been
waged for some time against the pipe
line company, which is a foreign cor
poration, by the farmers of this sec
ton, who resent the piping of the gas
