FACING SERIOUS CONDITIONS
ON THEIR LINE.

Fort Worth, Texas. Oct 30-Ad-
vices OF most serious nature rela.
tive TO the conditions in the Pccos
country have been received by the
Texas and Pacific here. The rains

WHAT is TO BE DONE WITH FED.
ERAL PRISONERS IN JAIL
PROBLEM TO Be CONSIDERED
For Deferrins Statehood to the
Last Hour-marshss Now In
Washington TO Solve Problem.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 3O.-One OF
the vitality important problems now
confronting the federal authorities, as
well rs the prospective officials OF the
new state OF Oklahoma, is the custody
and care Of prisoners at present con.
fined in the four prisons In the In
dian Territory. The total number is
about 500, and the United States
marshals who are in Washington are
going over the situation with the de.
partment OF justice to ascertain
what can be done. As soon as Okla.
homa becomes state more than nine.
tenths OF the prisoners now confined
in these jails will become the
charges OF the state. Who is going
to feed those prisoners at breakfast
the next morning is a question pro
pounded by one of the marshals, who
has LAG prisoners in his Jail.
These four jails are federal prisons
There Is no county organization In
Indian Territory and the counties can
not take care of the prisoners. 81
want to have the keys ready to turn
over to the new marshal of the East
ern district the minute Oklahoma be
comes n state" said W. II. Darrough
Of Vinlta, marshal Of the Northern dis
trict
Many OF these prisoners. under
state organization, will have to be
tried in the county in which the al
legged crime was committed. How
with such a changing and revision
of county and district boundaries
as has taken place, the crimes
in many cases are to be definitel,
located, Is another vexing problem
and one which attorneys defending
prisoners will be quick to take ad
vantage Of
No definite plan has yet been work
ed out by the department OF justice
and this fact may be one reason TO
the deferring OF the statehood procla
nation until the last day possible.

New York, Oct. 31.-Cne hundred

have just been received at the Brok-
lyn navy yard from western pack
been in use in the army for some
time, this is the first time that the
navy department has ever placed
an order for such food. It is un-
derstood that the rations will be
taken on the cruise of the fleet TO
the Pacific, but will be used only
in case the ships should be cut of
from ordinary supplies.
The ration is packed in cans and
sealed under vacuum, and consti-
tutes the greatest triumph yet achiev-
ed in compressing nutritious food into
small space. Each can contains
days allowance for one person, and
includes eight ounces of beef, six
ounces of parched wheat, eight
ounces OF chocolate and one ounce
of salt and pepper. The beef is freed
from all fat and muscle and is dried
under a temperature of ll5 degrees
leaving only about 5 per cent mois
ture. This causes a shrinkage oi
fully 100 per cent in the bulk Of the
beef, SO that the eightounce allow
ance is equal to a pound OF ordi
nary beef. The parched wheat and
chocolate Is also greatly compress
ed and all moisture eliminated. The
rations cannot shrink nor spoil, and
will remain in perfect condition In
any climate for many years. While
It is not believed that the fleet will
have use for such rations, the navy
department has considered 1t th'
part of wisdom to be prepared fol

Especial Dispatch to the Morning journal. I

Santa Fe, N. M, Aug 6.--The head
quarters Of the United States attor-
ney's office seems to have been sud-
denly transferred to this city. Major
William II. II. Llewellyn, United
States attorney, Is here busily engaged
in attending to his official duties,
while one of his assistants. E. l.. Med
lers of Albuquerque. arrived in town
this morning This afternoon ID. j.
Leahy, the other assistant, reached
town. Leahy is a rough rider and It
Is understood that he may become u
candidate for the office of attorney
general, succeeding the Hon. George
W. Prichard, whose resignation Is eX-
pected In the near future.
Prichard's appearance against the
territory in the Jap Clark trial has
caused considerable speculation here.
If the section of the complied laws
prohibiting the attorney general from
appearing in court against the terri
tory Is still In force. and we'll known
lawyers say 1t Is, the gentleman with
the $780, 900 reputation can hardly ex-
pect to be retained in office for any
great length of time. There Is no
direct authority for the statement that
Captain Leahy is a candidate for the
attorney generalshlp. but his appoint
ment is talked Of and IL is understood
that he would not refuse the place
were II rendered him.

charge of conduct unbecoming an Of
ficer and a gentleman, but guilty OF
conduct to the prejudice of good or

the following letter to Nettie Sims in
reference to her son, an enlisted man,
who had served under him:

The sentence of the court was that
Trumbo should be reprimanded by
the reviewing officers and be confin-
ed to the military limits at the sta
tion at which he is serving for three
months
Major General Fred d. Grant. COM

have been sufficiently severe to guar
antee that an officer would not again
be guilty of such conduct
