JONES DIDN'T
HAVE THE MONEY
MAYOR klNssy DISPOSED OF
THE COMMERCIAL HOTEL
CASE This MORNING.

The bother in the Commercial Ho-
tel between one of the proprietors
and former colored porter, contin-
ued from Monday and Tuesday, was
settled in police court this morning.
Mr.. Cochran admitted on the stand
that he did strike the negro with his
cane twice and showed that he was
under great provocation in SO doing.
Said he had caught Jones in the up
per parts on the house twice since he
had discharged him and that he had
,, on each occasion told him to keep
away from the house.
John Brannon, the bartender at the
hotel, told Of how Jones had been dis
charged for attempting to steal whis-
key. Had caught him taking pint
which Jones said was for another man
when the man had never sent him
for 1t.
| Dutch Watkins and Eli Fortney al
so testified to Jones carrying brick
around with him and making threats
that he would knock the block off
Cochran. Jones. In his own behalf.
delivered very fiowery speech in
which he rehashed his former testi-
mony. He has just enough education
to make him windy and some of his
expressions were certainly funny but
he was in blissful ignorance of the
fact. For instance: Mayor Kinsey
decided that he was guilty of disor.
derby conduct and so informed the
prisoner. He named $500 as the fine.
Jones arose and with his most august
manner, inquired OF the court, what
justice does this court give me for
protecting myself against a man pull.
ing a gun on me?" you can swear
out warrant for him." calmly re.
sponded the mayor. Render my de-
cision as such then" pompously re.
piled Mister Jones. He went back to
jail in default OF the eight samoieons
but says he will swear out warrant
again for Cochran, this time for car
: rying a gun. None Of the witnesses
saw the gun or at least II they did
they said nothing about 1t at the trial
this morning so it seems that Jones
will have thorny road to travel.
Thomas Cochran, stranger in the
city, was a plain drunk and &C
knowledged 1t. He had no 5000 and
went back to jail.
John Russo, the Italian fruit dealer
of Madison street, was up for selling
his wares on the Sabbath. This case
has also been continued since Monday
and had to be laid over until to-mor-
row morning on account of the alb
sence II the prosecuting witness.
Cochran's fine imposed yesterday
was RENTED today by Mayor Kinsey.

POLICE CALL
REPORT THAT YOUNG MAN WAS
SHOT CAUSED SOME EXCITE
MENT LAST NIGHT.

The police have known for some
time that tough gang Of boys just il
their teens infest the neighborhood of
Hamilton street and were not greatly
surprised last night about s o'clock
when a telephone message to head
quarters announced that one Of the
boys, Lawrence West, had been shot.
Assistant Chief Bartholow hurried up
on the hill and found the boy had a
wound on his cheek which might
have been caused from bullet. It
was a glancing wound, at least the
missile did not penetrate the flesh.
None of his companions had heard a
shot fired so the officer was mystified
for awhile. DR.. Kunst was called and
while examining the injured lad, who
is perhaps twelve years of age, look
ed at the boys back, which he claim
ed hurt him and found large bruise.
Then the case was plain enough. 1t is
said that the boys have annoyed resi-
dents of that section breaking win
dows, etc, and it is likely that some
one threw a stone at the gang and it
struck young West.

Rain Caused Trouble.

The rains of last night caused lit.
tie trouble for the contractors who are
building the foundation for the Ma

partially caved in, taking along with
1t portion of the brickwork. This
was soon remedied and now the work
is going along rapidly.

Old Testament. He was sentenced
to 20 years hard labor for highway
robbery in broad daylight, and for
attempted murder. He fed in 1882
from Sakhalin, but was caught at
the narrowest point OF the Tartar
straits, having almost crossed over
the continent. For this attempt he
received SO lashes with the knout, and
his time was extended another 20
years. Executioners were very busy in
those days, and Terszi, a famous SAX
hahn executioner, needed helper.
The convicts drew lots, and Komleff
was chosen for the post.
But Komleff still dreamed of free
dom. In 1889 he again broke jail, was
caught again, and received 10 years
additional.
"Fifty-five years hard labor" proud
ly exclaims Komleff. Besides, he was
sentenced to 45 lashes with the knout.
Terski waited" on his pupii.

and | will show thee how to knout, "
said Terski. And he Showed him.
Thirteen years later Komleff said to
me, Il am still rotting." He barred his
back. His body looked as if it had
been scared and branded with hot
irons. 1t was terrible to see. Thick
white scars covered portion of his
back, and elsewhere instead Of skin
was seen a thin reddish membrane.

the first to come forward.
Behind him were two mountaineers
from Caucasus; a Russian who had
escaped from Siberian prison fol-

all those present standing up. Then
followed the doctors examination and
the investigation of previous corporal
punishment, and the doctor signed the

The document was handed to the
convict, who had to certify in advance
that he had received the punishment.
The Russians obeyed and signed the
papers; the letters which composed
Wassjutin's signature were almost
an inch apart, for his hand did not
tremble, but fairly danced over the
paper. The Caucasians could neither
read nor write, and they did not un-

The Russian Prison Colony and Its
Terrible TRAGEDIES.
DESCRIBED By A RUSSIAN WRITER
Terrible Cruelty of the Keepers and the Exc
cutioners Methods of Punishment That
Stagger ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS "ESnout
and How 1t Is Applied.

The interest of the WORLD in the
Russian penal system is awakened by
the capture of the island of Sakhalin
by the Japanese. From time to time
during the past quarter of century
the civilized world has been shocked
beyond measure at the tales of cruelty
to which the Russian conVicts in this
vast prison have been subjected, and
the depths of degradation to which
these once human beings have been
brought. But Russia has been careful
that but little of the true picture of the
island should reach the outside world,
and newspaper and magazine writer's
from England, France and the United
States have made repeated attempts
to secure authentic descriptions Of the
conditions in this great prison land,
and Of the atrocious cruelties prac-
ticed there, but none have ever been
fully successful. Much has been
guessed at, and the world would
scarcely credit these pictures of the
imagination.
1t has remained for Russian to
BlFE uS q pAdCLlNdllJ duIhCiIlN ptS-
ture of Sakhalin, and though the pic
ture is tempered by seeing things
from the Russian standpoint, it is still
a picture that is SO horrible that it
staggers humanity. This story of the
horrors of Sakhalin has been pub
lished in book form, and it is only
translated extracts from the book
that we can give here:
The First Impression.
First impressions are likely to be
very vivid. / shall certainly never
forget the moment when our steam
launch came alongside the jetty at
Korsakoffsk. The landing was crowd
ed with men. A few more steps and
| was lost in that sea which | SO
yearned to fathom.
During the months | passed among
the convicts at Sakhalin / could not
free myself from two impressions
which held me in thrall, tortured me
and oppressed my soul like a heavy
burden. They still are holding my
soul under their ban and still are
depressing it. The first of these i'm
pressions concerns my trip to SAX,
hahn. Our steamer, which trans
ported the convicts from Odessa, re-
minded me of a huge barge, like those
used in our sea-coast towns for tow

Lets see your instrument.

The rusty barrow SqueakS, the
chains rattle, and the men attached
to the barrow show us the implement
of torture.
The barrow, which weighs about
100 pounds, is welded to the chain
around the convict's ankles.
At one time the barrows were weld
ed to the handouts, but now the for
mer is the more usual method. No
he drags with him the unwelcome
burden. He even sleeps with it on a
bench made specially for the purpose.
How long is he condemned to be
chained to the barrow" l asked.
For two years; and the convict be-
fore him had slept in this bed for three
years
approached the "bed." The head
end of the bench is worn out with
the friction of the chain. The wood
had rubbed up against the iron for
five years. Even the wood wears
out" grumbles the convict.
The punishment is very cruel, and
would be intolerable if the conyicts
did not ease their burdens now and
then. It is impossible to chain the
convicts so fast as to absolutely pre-
vent their freeing themselves. With
the help of their mates sometimes
they grease the chains with soap and
take off their burden at night under
Incredible agonies. But still for few
hours each month they manage to rid
themselves of their incubus. -.
All around US we see angry faces.
They peer hopelessly into the future.
The chances are cold. hard. somber
and bitter.

Senseless Display.

Sensible Americans are disposed ia
laugh when they read that King Ed
ward Of England has thrown the
world of extreme fashion-those who
live for tailors and dressmakers-into
a turmoil by changing the crease in
his trousers, but they will be disposed
to applaud Queen Alexandra if her
latest example prove the vogue. The
vulgarity of the display Of diamonds
and other gewgaws has become out
rageous in England. Therefore the
queen is frowning upon the barbarous
display and is setting the EXAMPLE and
the fashion by wearing studiousiy sim
pie ornaments, such as little brooch
or small collar. These modest orna-
ments shine conspicuously by contrast
with the coronets, ropes, sunbursts
and "tararas" Let us hope, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, that the fashion
of simplicity will go so far that the
prevailing habit in America among
the millionaires Of carrying around
with them whole jewelry shop and
of being robbed of their wares cor
tinuously will fall into desuetude.

ly green, but a step and you sink
in the deep, cold, sticky and yiscous
mire.
The remark about the neatness
hardly escapes your lips when you
hear around the corner the rafting OF
chains. Harnessed to a cart, grasp
ing the shaft in their hands, convicts
are dragging refuse to the sea.
What a depressing sight to see men
doing the work of horses.
The road leads past the prison, and
one can see the grimy window panes
behind heavy iron bars. Right above
us is the hospital and directly oppo
site the mortuary.
The Chain Prison.
The chain prison of Sakhalin is in
tended for the criminals of the worst
kind. Officially it is called the prison
for the testing of conyicts," while the
prison for convicts showing signs OF
reforming" or the free prison." is
used for convicts who have passed
the test of the "chain prison"
Our chain prison is bad, very bad,
remarked the inspector. 1--WE are
building a new one, but it will take
years to get it ready" -.
Attention." calls out a guard A
rafting of chains, and the conyicts
rise from the benches. On Easter
Sunday two of the conyicts fed from
the prison, in spite Of the fact that
the convicts in body had given
their word of honor not to attempt
an escape. AS a punishment, all OF
them were put in chains. 1t is moist
and close. Not an attempt at venti-
lation. No attempt at making the
place habitable. No effort to make
existence tolerable. Not even the
usual convict chests are to be seen
anywhere. Bare benches, filthy straw
mattresses are bundled together at
the head end of the benches. A
NANCY, lean cat plays among the
benches and purrs overwhelmingly. The
cOnvicts are fond of animals, for they
alone regard them as human.
In the center of the room is a table,
or rather a tall bench. 1t is triangu-
lar in shape, wet and dirty, COW
erred with bread crumbs and filthy tea
cans.
We enter a cell, where we find two
convicts chained to barrows.

ing the refuse and dumping it into
the sea. And these convict stations
and settlements seemed to me like
monstrous dumping grounds.
1t made me sad to think that down
in the prison settlements and all
around me all traces of the human
which may have remained in this
refuse were irretrievably doomed to
perish.
The second impression concerned
Sakhalin itself.
My first steps on the island ap-
parently took me back at least so
years in the history of Russia. The
grievous compulsory toll, the cringing
servility and doffing of caps and many
other signs brought to my mind the
days of serfdom.
The first impression of Korsak-
offsk is distinctly pleasant. There
is nothing at the first glance to re
mind you of the galleys. 1t is neat
little place. Two rows of pretty little
houses for officials are located on
the side of a rather steep hill. The
prison is long way up the noun
tain. 1t is a low one-story building,
and does not command the view nor
intrude itself upon the observer.
Houses of settlers line both sides of
the hill. Nothing horrible, nothing
somber is revealed at first sight. You
are inclined to rejoice over the ap-
parent responsibility of the place,
end driving up the road to Korsa-
koffsk you smile and think: Wei,
this is very neat, very neat, indeed"
But wait! Sakhalin is swamp,
!he surface of which is covered by
YysSty meadows It looks charming

BABY's INSTINCT
Shows He Knew What Food to Stick 10

Forwarding a photo of splendidly
handsome and healthy young boy, a
happy mother writes from an Ohio
town:
"The enclosed picture shows my A.
year-old Grape-Nuts boy.
"Since he was years old he has
eaten nothing but Grape-Nuts. He de-
mands and gets this food three times
a day. This may seem rather I'M
usual, but he does not care for any
thing else after he has eaten his
Grape-Nuts, which he uses with milk
or cream, and then he is through with
his meal Even On Thanksgiving day
he refused turkey and all the good
things that make up that great din
ner, and ate his dish of Grape-Nuts
and cream with the best results and
none of the evils that the other foolish
members of the family experienced.
"He is never sick, has a beautiful
complexion, and is considered a very
handsome boy. May the Postum Com
pany prosper and long continue to
furnish their wholesome food!" Name
