MEAD RECOMMENDS
State REFORMATORY

Seattle, Feb. 26.-According to the
Post -Intelligencer, one of the princi-
pal recommendations of Gov. Mead,
as result of his visit to the state in
situations Of Colorado, Utah and Kan
sas, will be for the establishment of
an industrial reformatory to be estab.
lished near Seattle on Puget sound.
Gov. Mead stated yesterday that in
a general way the plan which he pro-
poses to submit is for the establish
ment of an industrial reformatory
similar to those at Elmira, N. Y, and
Hutchinson, Kan.
He will ask the legislature to mako
the necessary appropriation for the
purchase of the building materials and
a tract Of land on Puget sound near
Seattle. and proposes to have state
prisoners furnish all the necessary Ia
Dor, with the exception of such skilled
mechanics as are absolutely necessary.
While the plan which he has out
lined will in reality provide for a
Western Washington penitentiary, on
ly prisoners under 25 years of age will
be sent to the institution. The in.
mates will be trained in all the differ
emit trades and the first work along
this line will be in the construction
of the buildings.
"The penitentiary at Walla Walla
is now practically taxed to its capac-
ity," said the governor, "and it is
necessary of the state to make addi-
tional provision for the care of the
criminal classes. At tho present time
about three-fifths of the prisoners that
are sent to the penitentiary are from
the Puget sound country, and the es-
tablishment of an institution on the
Sound would mean considerable saw
ing in the transportation item.
1.-The industrial reformatories at Ell
mira and Hutchinson are two of the
finest institutions in the United States
and do a great deal towards making
good citizens out of young men who
are just starting on criminal career.
The establishment of an industrial re-
formatory on the Sound would answer
for the new penitentiary, which is
soon to be an absolute necessity.
II propose to make recommends
tions for changes in the manner of
conducting other of the state institu-
tions, which will be submitted to the
board of control as soon as have had
time to outline the plans definitely"

ENGLAND MAY ISSUE
WARNING TO GERMANY

London, Feb. 26.-After yesterday .
cabinet meeting it was asserted in
ministerial circles that Great Britain,
at the proper moment, will, if neces-
sary, inform germany that the Moroc-
can policy of the Fatherland is a
source of deep anxiety to this govern
ment, since it exhibits tendencies
which threaten ultimately to require
Britain to dispute its further progress.
The statement has been confirmed
that in the event of Frances abandon
ing Morocco to Germany in preference
to risking war, the British govern
ment will oppose directly Germany's
plans.
1t is categorically asserted that
Great Britain is ready at moment g
notice to reply with force to any fore
ible measure which Germany may
take to "change the political map Of
Western Europe and Northern Africa
in any essential respect"
The kaiser is accused of seeking to
neutralize the British Gibraltar in the
West, while he himself is building up
a German Gibraltar in the East on the
island of Thasos.
In some quarters it is believed that
Germany, at the last moment, finding
that all Of the powers excepting posi-
bly, Austria, are sympathizing with
France, will agree to the compromise
offered by the French delegates. On
this account France will be urged to
allow continuance of the conference,
giving the representatives Of the pow
ers an opportunity of expressing their
views on the subject upon which Ger
many and France could not agree.
