The 1906 StyIe,

In regard to certain prisoners who have
come to the penlteEtiary the Raleigh cor
respondent of the Daily Industrial News
says:
The 1905 style, it seems, is for men sen-
fenced to the penitentiary to come to Ra-
leigh unaccompanIed by an officer and vol
UNFAIRLY to enter the prison gates. The
sheriff puts in his appearance day later
and gets receipt for the delivery of his
prisoner.
Dewey, the ex-bank cashier of New
Bern, established this precedent last fall
and It has since been followed in at least
three other cases. The Two other men
convicted in Lenoir county for killing q
tellow-man, were not subjected to the
humiliation of having an officer accompany
them.
Yesterday evening Frail Durham, a
white youth, sentenced tc fourteen years
in prison for killing deputy in Polk coun-
ty, came here attended by his brother, who
was his bondsman, and surrendered himself
at the prison gates. The sheriff has not ar
rived yet"

Pennsylvania and Good Roads.

The last session of the Pennsylvania
legislature made over $4,000, 900 available
for the purpose of highway improvements
during the next six years. The state pays
five-sixth and the county one-sixth of the
cost, and during this year the counties
used approximately $3.50, 900 ir excess cf
the appropriation. Applications have
been already received for state-aid under
the provisions of this act for constructing
927 miles of highway, which, at an aver
age cost of $6,25O per mile, will require a
total expenditure of $5, 792, $50, SO that
almost the entire appropriation has been
spoken for IN the first year. Senator
Sproul, who fathered the original bill, is
reported to be preparing one to be submit
ted to the present legislature appropriating
81, ,OCO, 900 additional. State Highway Com
missioner Hunter asserts that no state in
the country has made equal progress in
highway improvements during the past
year as compared with Pennsylvania.

SENATOR BAlLY TALKS PLAIN.
Gives the Reporters the Lie With

Washington, D. c., May 16.-The
senatorial executive incident haa not

There are Others" both Senators
Bailey and Tillman have said as much
and the language they employed IL
about as strong as any that has ever
been heard in the United States senate.
The correspondent who wrote that

llcious liar" said Senator Bailey ON
the floor of the senate today in refer
Ing to the correspondents of the Chicago
Tribune, who happened to be Mr.. RAY
mond Patterson. The article in thu
Chicago paper said that Mr.. Bailey had
been In collusion with Aldrich, and that
was why Tillman sought to make an 81.
lance with the president.
After the Texan had spoken he found
out similar story had been printed In
the New York Tribune, whose editor
is the Ambassador to England, and he
denounced this in similar terms He
then declared upon authority of men,
oers OF the press gallery that the cor
respondents of both Tribunes are the
chief "cuckoos" of the administration
and in close touch with officials at the
White House, who probably inspired
the stories. Senator Bailey denounced
the White House authority who In
splred the story and characterized him
as "a wretch. saying also, 81 denounce
him as an unqualified, deliberate and
liar, who ever he may be and
however high the Office he holds.
There was great. excitement In the sen-

that the Tribune correspondence vas

Washington, D. c.. May 2S.-The
senate today incorporated In the immi-
grafton bill two important amendments
introduced by Senator Simmons, which
were the subject of discussion the great
er part of the afternoon.
The first of these amendment excludes
from American shores immigrants who
cannot read and write, while the other
provides for q bureau of information
and display at Ellis Island, which will
aid new arrivals in determining the Sec

" most strongly for settlement.
Senator Simmons spoke several times
In support of his amendment and for an
hour he discussed the proposition to ex-
clnde immigrants who cannot read and
write.
The senate was very much interested

grafton problem and there were q num-
ber of speeches on the subject. Sena-
tor Lodge introduced an amendment
providing for Immigrants who locate in
this country to send for members of their

An incident connected with the visit
OF representative Blackburn to the
White House today in company with 2.

ect of much gossip.
According to the story told after the
visit, the congressman and Mr.. Under
wood failed to throw away their burn
Ing cigars, on which they were pulling
when they were ushered into the execu-
tive Office. 1t is stated that the presi-
dent rebuked Mr.. Blackburn, when he
approached. with the request, "Please
remove your cigar, Mr.. Congressman. :"
Mr.. Underwood, who was bringing up
the rear, was not in the line of the pres
ldent's vision, but heheard the command
OF the wielder of the big stick, and it
10 said that he put into execution a
record-breaking effort at smothering a
lighted cigar. Whether Mr.. Under
