TO ESTABLISH REFORMATORY
Board of Charities and Corrections
Hopes to Bring About
Prison Legislation

w. c. Patterson, who has just re-
turned from a meeting of the state
board of charities and corrections
which was held in San Francisco Tues
day, stated that outside of little
routine business nothing of Importance
was attended to.
At the regular meeting of the board
next month the board will undertake
to form plans for some much desired
Legislation regarding prisoners, 1t is
the ambition Of the board to have one
of the prisons set aside as a reform
atory, as the members have an idea
that one of the penal institutions should
be devoted more to the reforming of
prisoners than the punishment of them.
IL Is expected that several other re-
forms will be suggested and will be
embodied in recommendation by the
subcommittee to which the work has
been assigned

in Debate

The event at Simpson auditorium will

one side Of the public tunnel, with a
division of concrete or some similar
material between the two bores.

Great Flag Unfurled.

The largest flag in the District OF
Columbia, and probably the second
largest American flag in the world
was suspended for the first time in
! the immense court of the Post Office
Department with an impressive and
: beautiful ceremony. This star spang-
led banner is fifty feet leng and 80
feet wide, and its length is fifteen
feet greater than the big flag which
formerly hung in the court and was
as large as any in Washington.
Postmaster General Cortelyou, the
four assistant postmaster generals,
Messrs. Hitchcock, Shallenberger,
Madden and Dcgraw, and Chief
Clerk Chance stood in q group on the
fifth floor and gave official signifi-
cance to the ceremony, which was
taken charge of by the Grand Army
veterans of the department.
At | O'Clock the bugler sounded
the assembly" call, the signal for
the nearly twenty-five hundred per-
sons in the building to come out on
the balconies surrounding the big
court to a height of eight stories.
Standing on the little balcony pro-
iccting from the north side of the
third floor was Miss Nellie M. COrri-
gan, who has the big flag was pulled
slowly from its furled position on
the west across the court, began to
sing the national anthem, "The Star
Spangled Banner" in clear, sweet
voice that filled the building. With
her were some eight or ten young
women who took up the refrain.
Then the entire twenty-five hundred
p 'rsons On eight floors poured forth
their voices into the court, led from
the little balcony.
In the midst of this stirring chorus
the great flag was finally pulled into
position, hanging from cable
stretched from the west to the east
on the seventh floor. The bottom
of the flag almost reached the third
floor.
This banner takes the place of the
old garrison flag, which used to hang
in the same place, and was loaned
by the War Department. The new
one is owned by the Post Office De-
partment.

Stuart's Has A
Plurality OF $4,000
Lower House Has Majority OF
10 to 50 TO Carry Out Roose :
welt Program.

a good working majority of from
10 to 30 has been insured the Repub-
licans in the next House Of Repre-
sentatives, the Endorsement of the
Roosevelt Administration and the
record of the Republican Congress
was clear and decisive.
In several Eastern States, notably
Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio,
local conditions affected several dis
tricts now represented by Republi-
cans, and Democrats have been elect
ed. In Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
Missouri the big Roosevelt wave of
1904 returned to the normal Repub-
iican majority and several districts
usually conceded to the Democrats
have returned Congressman of the
latter faith.
There We're no surprises in the
Congress election, and the celt brated
"black listn which President Com
pers of the American Federation OF
Labor, prepared months ago for par
ticular assault has not sufficed, evil
IDENTIFY, at least, to the extent of de
feat for any one placed upon it.
The Middle West, the West and
the far West attest their faith in
Roosevelt policies by sending to the
Sixtieth Congress overwhelming Re
publican delegations.
The early indications are that the
Republicans have won the State
Legislature of Colorado, Idaho and
Montana, which, with the gain al
ready made in Oregon, means an in
crease of four Republicans in the
Senate of the next Congress. That
body will then consist OF 81 Repub-
Leans and 20 Democrats, or a more
than two-thirds majority of the dom
inant party.

general impression in Danville be-
ing that if a new trial was refused
the prisoner would get off with
much lighter sentence, and WHEN the
heavy sentence of fourteen years was
imposed it was general surprise.
The crime for which DIETRICH is
sentenced is the murder of "Corkey"
Jones in the bar-room of Deitrich's
hotel in Danville late one night last
February. Both men with some
others were conversing in the bar
room, Dietrich was fourishing re-
volver and boasting of his prowess
as crack shot Jones was reclining
on a bench and remarked that he
did not believe Dietrich could hit
anything, whereupon the latter, who
was intoxicated at the time, fired
and the ball entered jones' head

A law suit which began in 1902 in
which about $780, 900 is at stake alb
sorbed the attention of the court
here last week. The title of exten-
sive coal and timber lands near Ber-
nice is in question, and an array of
legal talent from Williamsport, To-
wanda, Dushore and Laporte was
engaged on the case. The action is
one of eectment in which w. w.
Jackson ct al. are plaintiffs, and
Rush j. Thompson ct al. are de-
PENDANTS. IN one form or another
the matter has been fought through
the supreme court twice, the eject
ment case having been sent back for
retrial after verdict in the lower
courts for the defendants.
The property at stake is that
which was accumulated by former
senator George O. Jackson, now de-
ceased. His widow, after whom the
town of Bernice was named, and his
son George, who were made his ex-
ecutors, gave deed in fee simple to
Rush j. Thompson for all his prop
erty. After their deaths, William
w. Jackson, another son, began the
present action, seeking to recover
the property, alleging that no prop
er consideration had been given by
Mr.. Thompson. A case in equity
went against the plaintiffs, the SUI
preme court sustaining the defend
ant, and the action in ejectment fol-
lowed. 1t is claimed on the part of
the defense that So, 100 paid at the
time of the making of the deed, was
| the consideration.
The counsel engaged in the case is
as follows: Plaintiff, Messrs. Seth
#. Mccormick, and r. X. Foster Of
Williamsport; E. J. Mullen of La
porte, and Alphonsius Walsh of Du-
shore; for the defendant, T. Mcpher-
son and Rodney Mercur Of Towan-
da; Joseph w. Piatt of Tunkhan-
mock; A, j. Bradley of Laporte, and

Hughes Will Be Next Republican
Governor OF New York.

New York, Nov. 6.-Charles +.
Hughes, the Republican candidate
for governor, defeated William r.
Hearst, the Democratic and Inde-
pendence League candidate, by Il
plurality of about 10000 today. In
round numbers Hughes came down
to the Bronx with pluralities aggre-
eating 100, 900, which were met by
so, 900 plurality for Hearst, rolled
up i'm Greater New York.
The early returns showing heavy
Republican losses from up the State
encouraged the Democrats, and a
few hours after the polls were closed
the Hearst managers We're giving
out the widest claims. But in
Greater New York the Democratic
losses, especially in Brooklyn, where
Senator "Pat" McCarren worked
openly against Hearst, soon began to
be felt and all doubt as to the Re
publican victory were swept away.
