Will Start for the Penitentiary To-
morrow

George w. Beavers who recently entered
a plea OF guilty to charge of conspiracy
TO defraud the government in connection
with the Post Office Department irregulard-
ties, and was sentenced to two years I'M
prlsonment in the peniteniary, Is to be
transported to the West Virginia prison at
Moundsvilie tomorrow night. He will leave
here on the Baltimore and Ohio train
scheduled to depart at $50 o'clock pm. and
reach the prison about daylight Saturday
morning.
Beavers will be one of a batch Of sixteen
prisoners who will make the journey In
all probability he will be one of two men
who will lead the column and will be hand
cuffed to James A. Backus, who Is to serve
two years for raising money orders and
getting them cashed. He will probably be
given the same eatment as Is accorded
other prisoners, and will have to make the
uncomfortable journey from the Jail to the
railroad station in the prison van.
During the very short tdme he has been
in the Jail Mr.. Beavers has endeavored to
familiarIze himself with prison life. He has
been attentive to the instructions Of the
guards. Never having been within the jail
before ne reached there Tuesday afternoon,
the surroundings caused Mr. Beavers to
display evidences of weakness. He did not
utter one word of complaint however, and
was willing to be given a dose of what he
may expect when he reaches the place
where he Is to remain for two years. Mr.
Beavers did not have his meals sent to
him by caterer. but contented himself
with the ordinary prison fare. although 1t
was far different from that to which he
has been accustomed.
Soon after reaching the Jail Mr. Beavers
was assigned to cell %, in the south wing.
but on account Of slight illness was trans
ferred to the hospital ward In the west
wing. The jail physician put him upon a
simple diet of rice and toast. and he is
now in large room with three other prfs-
hi
oner In the Jail looks after the patients
and the Jail physician attends them every
day. 1t Is not a case Of shamming Illness
to get better treatment Mr.. Beavers is
really sick. He will remain in the hospital
ward until he is ready to leave the prison
to be taken to the penitentiary

Reporters Were Excluded From the
Assemblage.

lain Political Deal without Con-
sulting Free Fooders Of Party.

LONDON, February 15.-With former Pre-
mier Balfour's formal entry into the ranks of
the "whole-hoggers.'' as the Chamberlain
ties have dubbed the deal, public interest In
today's meeting Of the unionlsts at Lans-
downe house was discounted and little was
left for the assemblage to consider but ques-
lions Of party organization and general
plan of campaign.
The presence of. the Duke of Devonshire.
former president of the council. however.
with his free food followers, was consid-
cred in some quarters as giving promise OF
enlivening the proceedings.
From 500 to GOO unionists attended the
meeting. which lasted an hour and half.
No reporters were admitted. but 1t is known
that the proceedings were amicabie.
Duke Of Devonshire Recalcitrant.
The Duke OF Devonshire, however. showed
no disposition to yield his views on fiscal
reform. On all other questions he will give
willing support to the party. He regretted
that he had read the correspondence be-
tween Messrs. Balfour and Chamberlain,
published this morning. indicating that they
have substantially reached an agreement on
this question. The duke intinated that he
would have to consult with the free fooders
of the party as to their future action.
Mr.. Chamberlain also spoke. He de-
clared that If the Duke of Devonshire S
views prevailed the majority Of the unionist
party would have to submit to the minority.

AS to the question OF the location of q

ARMY EXERCISES PLANNED.
Their Execution Depends Upon Con
gressional Approximation.

1t was stated at the War Department
today that consideration has not been given
to having joint maneuvers by the army
and navy next summer for the reason that
funds necessary have not been in sight,
and that unless Congress should make pro-
vision 1t would not be possible for the two
branches of the military service to engasel
in such exercises.
Elaborate plans have been prepared. how
ever. for army exercises next summer. oup
the extent to which these can be carried
cut will depend upon the appropriations
made by Congress at this session. These
plans contemplate bringing all the troops
I'm the United States together in some
thing like seven camps-two on the At
lantfc side, two on the Pacific and three
in the interior. In order that the troops
may be drilled in large bodies; also that
extensive field exercises might be engaged
In. and that opportunity may be given for
general officers to exercise command.
II also is desired by the military authori-
TO another that embarkation and debarka-
ton might be practiced. but the expense
has been found to be great as to be
practically prohibitive. What Is desired
is to engage In all movements that the
army would be called upon to make In
actual field services. which are impossible
of execution in small posts with small COM
panies.

having murdered his brother Carl for the
purpose of obtaining life insurance money
amounting to 50 900. Alexander Legler, jr.,
was arraigned in court in Jersey City today.

cumb to his injuries he caused the victims
death by administering some powder, pre-
sumably of a poisonous nature. The police
announce that they will endeavor to have
the body exhumed by the authorities at
Bailey. Ga, whittier 1t was taken by Leg
Ter soon after his brothers death.
