J. Morgan Smith Declares That He
BOUGHT No Revolver.

New York, April 12.-Before being ta-
ken to the Tombs prison ]. Morgan
Smith made a statement in which he
said:
7 am very glad to be back in New
York. The name Of my family has Eeen
besmirched- I have not had a hance to
clear It, but 1 viii. My movements on
the day the pistol was bought are very
easily traced. I had written them out,
naming every person I met that day.,
that I knew.
THE record was in the trunk which
was connSeated in Cincinnati and Is
now IN the possession of the district at
torney. 1 am very grateful for the dis
trtct attorneys having it.
L dld not buy that revolver and 1
as the man.
Asked why he and his wife left New
York so hurriedly last June he answer
ed: I have nc reply to make. I will
not discuss my case further except on
advise OF counsel"
Several persons who were called by
n prosecution as witnesses at the
last trial of Nan Patterson and who
We're expected by the district attorney
to identify Smith as a man mentioned
in their testimony were in court when
the prisoners were arraigned today.
Among them was Lyman Stern, the
pa~wnbroker, who sold the revolver
with which Caesar Young was killed.
Before going into court Stern said
he was doubtful if he could positively
identify Smith. He said he saw so
many people in his business it was i'm
possible to remember them all. After
he had seen Smith, Stern today said:
What 1 said before about not being
positive goes
There was an affecting scene when
Nan Patterson and her sister met in
the tombs prison. When last they saw
each other they occupied an apart
ment together in an uptown hotel.
Today both were prisoners. Miss Pat
terson had gained the consent of the
warden to see Mrs. Smith as soon as
she was brought to the prison. They
were left alone standing with their
arms around each others shoulders
weeping bitterly.
AS the attorneys and several prison Of
hcials stood outside the room J. Randolph
Patterson, the aged father of the pris-
oner, Joined the group. He pleaded with
the warden not to separate the girls.
IF you can grant an old fathers wish,
said he, keep the girls as near together
as you can while they are ncarcerated.'
Warden Flynn said he would do all he
could for him and arranged to have the
prisoners on the same tier in the women's
prison.

ON VERGE OF PREcIPIoE.
Resolution Of Russian Professors So
Declare.

st. Petersburg, April 1.-THE reso-
lutions adopted by the professors
were preceded by a strong preamble
declaring that the closing of all the
higher schools was only insignificant
evidence of the general crisis in
Russia.
The whole of Russia it adds,
awaits impatiently a complete reform
in the organization of the government
We believe it to be our duty to de-
clare that the country is on the verge
of a precipice.
1.-THE poverty stricken Russian people
are driven by the m~alevolence of the
government into agrarian and indus
trial revolt. The social and economic
questions cannot be solved by the
bureaucracy. Political reform is inn
perative. Each minute of delay in
creases the anarchy and revolt. The
government should be reformed in ac-
cordance with modern principles, rep
resentatives of the people should have
the principal influence n the bu-
reaucracy should be relegated to a
mionr role. The reformed government
should be absolutely democratic.
The peoples representatives should
max the laws and control the admin
%istratiOn inc budget. All class priv
ileges, political or religious, should be
obliterated. The principle of universal
suffrage should be adopted which never
will be accomplished through the
bureaucracy. Consequently the aboli-
ton of every restriction on liberty of
speech meetings and the press should
precede the convocation of the represen-
tatives of the people"

IN PRISON.
White and Black Convicts Forced to
Sleep Together.

Little Rock, Ark. April 12.-The
subcommittee of the house committee
appointed to investigate the peniten-
tiary, consisting of Representatives S.
A. Miller, chairman; c.. A. Fuller,
Horace E. Ruff, William Fletcher and
E. R. Arnold, this afternoon sub
mitted their report on the convict
farm in Lincoln county.
The committee found the convicts in
one of the stockades very poorly
clothed, with poor sanitary condition,
no means for bathing, and the whites
and blacks forced to sleep together in
dirty beds. The principal medical at
tentiOn is from a convict who was a
telegraph operator at the time of his
conviction and knows nothing of med
icine except what he has learned
since. The punishment on the farm is
severely condemned, the men being
whipped numerically. The commit
tee recommends an appropriation for
a hospital and bath house, also that
whites and blacks shall be kept sepa-
rate in the hospital, and hat negro
men be prohibited from guarding
white men.

ates in Shawnee.
Probate Judge Is the Clerk,

NO POMP is THERE

The juvenile court, provided for by

is also probate judge, has 16 boys and
one girl under his Jurisdiction.
The last legislature, at the earnest re-
quest of many interested parties, passed
a law establishing juvenile courts in ev-
cry county and making the probate
judges ex-officio judges Of h juvenile
court in each county. The object of
the law is to separate the youthful
wrongdoers from the hardened and old
er criminals and riff raft. When the
police or the sheriff's force arrests a
youth for any charge, excepting felonies,
the ~cuIprits, instead of being taken to
the city or the county jails to mingle
with criminals while awaiting trial in a
regular court of law, are Immediately
turned over to the judge of the juvenile
court.

Ever remark how ugly men are when

Many a d~runkard's career began with an

Die you ever know any one to buy a

Some gardeners devote all their time to

A mistake many men make is being a

If you must run away from the law do
not visit your kin. They don't want you

Geo. NJ. Stones 1.-THE Rehearsal is On
Exhibition.

Geo. M. Stone has just completed a
large picture which he calls The Re-
h~earsaI." It is in reality a group of
the DR.. J. c. McClintock family,
though the disposition of the subjects
makes it rather a picture to be re-
membered than a composition of por-
traits. The entire family is shown
grouped in the library. while Helen
in the attitude of a speaker stands in
front of her relatives. The uHeners
are gathered about a table, and the
expressions on the faces are those of
intense interest. Frances, h young
est child, is sitting on the floor look
ing up into her sisters face with all
the pride which a. child feels for a
gifted older member of the family.
Well in the foreground is Mrs. Mohler,
attired in a delicate blue gown which
lends the necessary contrast to make
the composition effective. But
throughout the picture h artist has
handled the color scheme with a mas
ter hand and the picture is that
will be remembered. 1t was placed on
exhibition in the Mills store window

Buffalo News: Gov. Folk says that
in Missouri the state spends on negro
education five times as much as the
colored men Of the state pay in taxes.
1t sounds like q brave remark and a
declaration of public generosity, but the
vast majority of white parents in all
the states who send children to the pub
lie schools pay rent instead of taxes.
They get no credit as taxpayers, but
those who work are the ones who act
ually pay all public expenses. and not
those alone or chiefly who pay taxes
because they hold titles and collect the
fruits of the labor of others, their ten
ants.

The astonishing rate at which the
production Of Goa in the United States
has increased in the last half century
is discussed in THE Manufacturers
Record by Mr.. Frederic E. Saward
Statisticians say that the population of
this country has doubled about once in
thirty or thirty-three years since indie
pendenee was achieved. The develop
ment of coal mining here has gone on
much more rapidly. The output of
American coal nearly doubled during
each of the four decades beginning with
the year 1860 Tt amounted to about
2T0,000.00O o in 1900 and 845. 900. 600
tons last rear. At the present time. Mr..
Saward believes, it must average 1000
600 tons a day. Another way of present
ing the facts is to say that the yield
was less than one ton $3.50 for each in
habitant in 1870, but with each C
ceeding decade rose to 1918, 2255 and
1884. The production now can scarce
~ be less than four tons per capita.
