Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1906-06-01

JUDGE JARVIS in his Charge to
the grand iur, laid special stress
upon the condition of the county
Jail and asked that body TO make a
thorough investigation The jailer
Owen Y. Jarrett has made a special
effort since his incunbency TO at
least keep the Jail respectable, but
owing to the horrible arrangement
which exists it is almost an impos-
sibility. Totally without any of
the modern conveniences which A
Jail should have and very poorly
arranged building too, the quarters
furnished the prisoners are very
uncomfortable and the jailer CEN
suIed and criticised for things una
voidable on his his part. One of
the great needs is water works and
sewerage which could be installed
at very reasonable cost. There
are many changes needed, in fact
an entire renovation of the whole
buildings is necessary, but that
we cannot hope for. However,
with the additions above mention
ed, the prisoners, incarcerated can
at least have respectable quarters.
Only those who fully advised up
on this matter can fully appreciate
the situation and we want to add
that no officer in charge is in the
least responsible for the conditions
which exist. We trust that the
grand jury will carefully investigate
and recommend at least a few of
the necessary improvements.

RATE BILL HAS
BEEN PASSED.
Much Disputed Measure Goes
Through, II to 3 Long Deli
briatiOn of the Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The sen.
ate has passed the railroad rate bill.
Only three senators, Foraker, Morgan
and Pettus, voted against the bill. The
yeas were II. 1t was announced for
every absent senator that he would
vote for the bill. 4
After seventy days of almost contin-
uous deliberation the senate passed the
bill which has received more attention
from the senate and from the country
at large than any measure that has
been before congress since the repeal
of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act in 1893.
1t was reported to the senate on Feb.
26 and was made the unfinished bust
ness on March IL. From March II to
May 4 the bill was under general dis
cussion without limita ton on the dura-
ton of speeches, fifty-eight of which
were delivered. Senator La Toilette,
the Junior senator from Wisconsin,
spoke for three days and Senator Dan
lei of Virginia for two days. Senators
Bailey, Foraker, Lodge, Rayner, Dolli-
yer and others each spoke for one en-
tire day.
The railway rate bill, which was
completed by the senate, when placed
on the statute books will have a more
far reaching effect than any law of re-
cent years. 1t will vitalize the powers
of the interstate commerce commission

SAILS SKYWARD
Mrs. Howard Gould Goes Up In q
Balloon.

LONDON, May 19.-The aero en-.
tente between America, France and
England was celebrated here when
Mrs. Howard Gould of New York made
her first ascent in the balloon Dolce
Far Niente. belonging to Frank But
Ter, who with Lord Royston and Pro
fessor Huntingdon. accompanied her,
while the second balloon, the Aero
Clubs No. 2, took G. +. Pollock, the
Hon. and Mrs. Hartford and Count BIZ

Hall of the Aero Club of America.
The ascent was made from Wands-
worth. Howard Gould and his sister.

the balloons course in the Hon. Mr..
Rolls motor car. Before starting Mrs.
Gould jokingly remarked to her hus-
band and sister-in-law: well, goodby
in case don't see you again. See that
l am picked up and sent back to New
York"
The parties had a pleasant trip. The
Dolce Far Nlente descended at Sun
bury after passing Richmond and
Kemptop Park, and the other descend
ed in Gotham common.
Mrs. Gould expressed great pleasure
with her experience, but regretted
there was not more wind in which to
make a longer trip. she wished Mr.,
Butler to take her on Il future ascen-

YOUNG WOMAN HAS
FOOLED AUTHORITIES.
Southern End of the County Some
what Stirred Up Over the Lat
est Addition to Sensation.

NEW BRUNSWICK, May 49,
One young woman has outwitted the
whole force of the states machiner,
or justice. Wanted on a charge Of
stealing SIPS, she has eluded the of.
hcers and the prospects of getting
ner here are not very bright.
Mrs. George Breeze is only twenty
five, but she has bested the state far,
She has deserted the simple farm
life of Prospect Plains for the more
exciting urban life of some neighbor-
ing state, while officers are keeping
watch for her return. 1t is said that
she is in Altoona, Pa, and that she
has no immediate intention of return
ing, and in the meantime Albert
Suits, of Prospect Plains, is out
$125.
Mrs. Breeze and her husband lived
in the Stults tenant house. One day
Mr.. Suits missed SIPS. He had a
bound-out girl working for him, An
ME Gardner, whom he had secured
from an institution. He questioned
her about the money. She declared
that she didn't know anything about
1t, but that she had noticed Mrs.
Breeze had been buying a lot of new
things of late.
Constable Jacob Gordon, of Gran
bury, was called into the case. He
learned that Mrs. Breeze had spent
SIS at Perrine Buckelew's store that
week. He went down to see Mrs.
Breeze. She declared that 1t was an
outrage to suspect her. She limited
that the Gardner girl might know
something. She showed the officer a
lot of bed clothing, towels, two sets
of dishes and other things which had
come from the Suits home, and
which she said, the Gardner girl had
brought to her house. These things
were recovered.
The constable thought that If he
kept on letting the girl and the young
woman accuse each other he would
get at the bottom of the trouble.
There seemed to be no danger of Ell
Their running away, as Mr.. Stults
was keeping guard of the girl and the
woman had a house full of furniture.
But Mrs. Breeze moved to Mon
mouth Junction in a couple of days
and into a house owned by Harvey
Mershon, and then she said she was
going on a visit to Trenton for a
couple of days. She never came
back, and her husband followed her
in a couple of weeks and has not been
heard from since. Relatives took
of the household furniture.
Justice Peter Bergen has issued a
warrant for the young woman, but
Gordon's chances of serv~
Ing that warrant are slim.

rates whenever the rates made by the
railroads themselves are found, after
complaint and hearing, to be unreason-

by a common carrier.
The most important provision of the
act confers on the interstate commerce
commission the authority to determine
what is a just and reasonable maxi
mum rate or charge, regulation or
practice.
When the session opened the senate
resumed consideration of the Teller
amendment, striking out of the provi-
sion giving to the interstate
commission the power to prescribe
rates the words Sin it's judgment"
The amendment was adopted so to
"a.
Senator Carter proposed an amend
ment in the interest of small roads to
the provision prescribing a penalty for
false entries in the accounts of rail-
provision requiring railroads to keep
only such books as prescribed by the
commission. Senator Tillman opposed
the amendment as fatal to the prohibit
ton against rebates. The amendment
was defeated.
The rate bill was soon completed and
was ready to pass when Mr.. Rayner
took the floor.
Mr.. Rayner said that he expected the
president would change his opinion
again before the bill was finally en-
acted and get back to the Long amend
ment.
The president. said Mr.. Rayner, may
have united his party in the senate, but
had divided the people. He claimed
the Allison court review amendment
destroyed the bill and deplored the
