measure.
The constitutional amendment by

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15.-Diggs' bill
providing for the appropriation of $780,
900 for the purchase of farm for the
use of the college of agriculture of the
University of California passed the
Senate this morning. Carter spoke
against the measure, saying he be-
lieved several smaller farms should be
purchased in different parts of the
State, that comprehensive investiga-
ton of the different soils and varied
crops of different sections might be
made. Senator Ward differed from
Carter, however, and said he favored
the purchase of the farm and was posi-
tive there is no crop grown in the
State that couldn't be experimental
with and benefited at farm located
somewhere in the center of the State.
Senator Anderson said that though
he favored the bill he would not vote
for it unless favorable action was as

speeIaI Dispatch to The call.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 15.-"Every
day the citizens of California willingly
permit conditions that now prevail at
San Quentin and Folsom penitentiaries
to continue they commit a crime
against the prisoners of the State more
hideous than any that brands the
felons under restraint. Crimes un-
speakable are committed daily within
those walls and all the result of the
congregate system, which this Legis-
lature has the power to remedy"
This was the answer tonight OF
Prison Director FELTON, before the
Finance Committee of the Senate and
the Ways and Means Committee of the
House to request that he impress
upon the minds of his audience the
absolute necessity of the passage of
the bills that have been introduced to
appropriate funds for the construction
of 500 additional cells at each of the
State prisons and a wall around Fol-
som. Governor Pardee, who was
called upon to express his views, said
that he believed something should be
done Immediately and that the present
Legislature should make an appro-
priation sufficient to begin the work at
once.
Prison Director FELTON, explained
that at San Quentin there are 1900
prisoners, with only 625 cells to hold
them, while Folsom has 1000 prison
ers, with only 372 cells; in other words
that there are something under 1000
cells to hold $500 prisoners.
The bills providing for the improve
ments needed, he said, contemplated
an appropriation Of s21S,000 for Fol-
som and S360,e00 for San Quentin, but
under recent estimates the board was
confident that these sums could be re-
dCced at least 100000 by the pur-
chase of modern stone-cutting ma
chinery. He said that in his opinion it
would take at least five years to COM
plete the work and the appropriations
could be so arranged as to extend over
this period and work no great hard
ship on the people.

LEW WALLACE
RESPONDS TO
DEATHS CALL

CRAWFORDSVILL Ind, Feb. b.
General Lew Wallace, author of Ben
Hur," one-time Minister to Turkey and
a veteran of the Mexican and Civil
wars, died at his home in this city to-
day. He was rs years of age.
The health of General Wallace had
been waning for several years, and for
months, despite the efforts Of the fam
lily TO keep the public in ignorance of
his true condition, it has been gener-
ally known that his vigorous constitu-
ton could not much longer Withstand
the ravages of a wasting disease. For
more than a year he had been unable
to properly assimilate food. At no time
has he ever confessed his belief that
the end was near and his rugged con-
stitution and remarkable vitality have
been responsible for prolonging his life
several months.
The deathbed scene was one of calm
ness. Besides his physician only his
wife. his son and Henry Watkin of In
dianapolis were present. Two children
were in the house but were not admit
ted in the room. When told by his ply
sician that he was dying General Wall
lace was perfectly calm, and his last
words were expressions of cheer to his
grief-stricken family. Bidding them
farewell he said, Il am ready to meet
my Maker" He then lapsed into un-
consciousness, from which he did not
recover.
No definite arrangements have been
made for the funeral.
Lewis Wallace was born in Brook
vile, Ind on April 10, 1927. His father
David Wallace, was elected Governor
of Indiana ten years later His mother
was a daughter of Jude Test, man
who played an important part in the
early judicial history of Indiana.
Lewis did not take kindly to the re-
straints of school. His father was wont
to say that he had paid the lads tuition
for fourteen years and Lewis had hard
ly gone to school once. An attempt tc
The San Francisco call., 1905-02-16

put him through college resulted in fail
ure. He was passionately fond of read
ing, however, and at an early age man
ifested talent for drawing and paint
ing which might have made of him an
artist had it been cultivated. He wore
In those days white oilcloth cap, and
when taken to church against his will
was apt to decorate the crown with
faithful likenesses Of the clergyman
and various members of the congrega-
ton.
After leaving college Lewis studied
law in his fathers office and, being ad-
mitted to the bar practiced irregularly
for number of years, but never de-
veloped any real liking for the profess
sion.
Wallace took part In the Mexican and
Civil wars. In the former he attained
the rank of first lieutenant, and In the
latter that of major general In 1861 he
was adjutant general Of the State of
Indiana, but he resigned this office to
accept commission as colonel of the
Eleventh Indiana Infantry. The ladies
of Indianapolis upon the departure of
the regiment presented 1t with a hand
some stand of colors. On receiving it
Colonel Wallace raised his hand, and
cried:
Now, remember Buena Vista, boys,
and on our knees let us swear to de-
fend this flag with the last drop of our
blood
Then the entire regiment kneeled,
with the same unanimity as when on
drill, and each man raised his right
hand while Colonel Wallace in a solemn
voice said:
I'VE pledge ourselves before God and
these, our fellow countrymen. to defend
this flag with our lives, and die for 1t II
necessary, God being our helper.
Amen"
A solemn "amen" came from the reg
iment and suppressed sob from ma
jority of the bystanders.
Wallace's services in the field were
conspicuous and valuable. He led a d.
vision at the capture of Fort Donelson,
being the first Federal officer of rank
to enter the fort. He also contributed
largely to the victory at Shiloh by his
gallant fighting on the second day
Though a great favorite among his
men, he was a rigid disciplinarian. In
illustration Of his strictness the follow
ing anecdote is told:
While in camp at Pittsburg Landing
he met one day four of HIS men carry
ing to their tent half an OK which they
had appropriated. As punishment he
ordered each of the men to carry by
turns the carcass on his shoulder
around tree for an hour at a time in
the broiling sun. The next day he com
PEELED them to fan 1t to keep off the
flies, and on the third day they were
made to bury II, with suitable honors.
After the war General Wallace
served on the commission before which
the assassins of Lincoln were tried and
later upon the returning board in Flor
ida in 1876: as Governor of New Mex
leo, 1S7S-1SS1, and as United States Min
lister to Turkey, 18S1-1SS5. After his re-
turn from Turkey he made his home in
Charlottesville, Ind, where he engaged
in literary work.
General Wallace was the author o.
several books, among them "A Fail
Cod" a tale of Aztec Mexico, upoI
which he worked at irregular interval:
for twenty years: Ben Hur: A Tale O.
the Christ and "The Prince of India
Ben Hur'' undoubtedly is the mos
popular religious romance in the Eng
1ish language. 1t has been translated
into several foreign languages.
