PRISONER HIS OWN JAILER.
Amusing Story of a Murderer Who
 Refused to be Released.
(London Mail.)

(L1OnuOIli Mdll,)
 Should the Goolds be extradited to Monaco and tried one wonders what would happen to them in the event or their being found guilty of wilfur mur- der by the Monegasque court and in uniformity with the law sentenced to death. Monaco has no guillotine and no executioner, and indeed no arrange ments for dealing with criminals.
 It is the place to recall the amusing story told by Maupassant about mur- derer who was tried, convicted and sen- tenced to death in Monte Carlo. The authorities asked France to loan them M. Deibler and his little instrument, the "Red Widow" The French govern nent consented to oblige for the con sideration of G1,000. The Prince thought this too dear, and so applied to his brother In Italy. Italy offered to do the thing, all included, for &eSO. This again was found too dear. "The man is not worth it." said the None gasque authorities.
 So the sentence of death was com muted to one of life imprisonment. But there was no prison in Monaco and a gaol had to be erected for the express purpose of conf1ning this murderer, and a gaoler had to be appointed. This state of things lasted for some months and then the gaoler died.
 The authorities of Monte Carlo, when considering the appointment of his suc- cessor, came to the conclusion that the man, the one prisoner, was costing the state a great deal of money. So com

mission visited him and told him that in future he would be required to act as his own gaoler. He grumbled a bit at this increase of sentence, but com piled. His meals used to be sent down to him from one of the hotels in the town, but one day the scullion who brought him his dinner did not turn up on time and so the prisoner walked up to the hotel and took his meal there, After that he got into the habit of going up to the hotel for his meals; then, after a stroll oh the front, he used to return to his prison and shut himself in, carefully bolting the door inside.
 But again the authorities found that he was costing them too much, and so one day they called him up and told him that they were sick of seeing him about the place and that he must clear out. He enphatically refused to do anything of the kind. You sentenced me to penal servitude for life" he ar- gued, land I expect to work out my sentence. have no means of earning livelihood since you created all the bother, and 1t Is to you that I look for my sustenance."
 To cut long story short, the princi- pality of Monaco was obliged to settle an annuiay of 500 francs (e24) year upon the convict before he would con- sent to accept his freedom and leave the country As soon as this was ar ranged he took up his abode in little cottage just over the Monaco border.
 This is true story, and the docu-
 ncnt fixing the mans pension, togeth CT with details about the payments may be seen in the Monaco archives.
 The late Prince de Monaco was font of telling this story In Parlsian draw

anointed. As to why the President chose to impress first the congress. sional mind with his wish to pass the succession on to Taft, that furnishes another interesting index to his char acter as a sagacious press agent. It was the skirmish fire in his line of battle to develop the location and strength of the enemy-"the other fellow" It brought some of the en- en1y out of the brush and drove oth- CTS scurrying to the cover of stumps and dead logs. But he marked them as they moved. Within few weeks he knew who and where the enemy was, and he proceeded accord ingly to deal with him. He waited six months, or from May to October before he set his out-of-town cuckoos to work openly on the Taft boom. Then in a jiffy the whole broad con- tinent heard it's reverberations.-J, J.

 Of course the scale of living cannot cont.,aually advance. That Is prohibit .CI by the law of worldwide competi- tion, A nation whose cost of produc- ton is too high cannot dispose of it's surplus in foreign markets, because it will be undersold. One reason why immigration is pouring into the Unit ed States at the present time is that the high scale of living here-the unexampled rosperity-attracts at tention in other lands and makes the immigrant station on El- lis island look like the open door of opportunity.-M Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,

Special to The Evening" Times.
Plaza. n. D., Feb. 26.-Last fall citi-
zens of Plaza were notified by the 500
Townsite company that the town
would have to be moved for the reason
that under the public land law a good
and valid title would not be obtained
to the site. This retarded the building
up of the town.
Recent congressional legislation has
cured the title of the old townsite and
official notice has reached here that
it will be unnecessary to move and that
the town of Plaza will remain where
it is.
The good news was received with
much enthusiasm and arrangements
were Immediately made for a celebra-
ton. The local band of nineteen
pieces marched through the streets
followed by citizens; every business
place was serenaded and enthusiastic
speeches were made by business men.
A general demonstration continued un-
til after midnight.
This will give the progress of this
thrifty little village new impetus
and from now on residences and busi-
ness places will be erected as quickly
as possible. The spring and summer
will see busy times in Plaza.

IMMIGRATION CASES
So Called Charlotte, N. G..
Cotton Mill Prosecutions
Called Up Today.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Greensboro, N. c., Feb. 26.-The So
called Charlotte cotton mill cases, in
which prominent mill owners are
charged with violation of the alien
contract labor law in bringing immi-
grants from England to work in the
mills, were called for trial in the fed
eral court here today, Judge James
E. Boyd presiding. There are four de-
PENDANTS. Three of them, E. c. Dwelle,
Sumner Sargent and Edward A. Smith,
are prominent mill owners, while the
fourth, Thomas M. Costello of Phila-
delphia, is alleged to have been sent to
England as an agent anad induced
number of English people to come to
Charlotte and accept employment in
the cotton mills. A number of the
English immigrants are held to testify
for the prosecution.
The mill men will rely for their de-
tense principally upon that clause of
the immigration laws which gives to
employers the right to import labor
when the same labor can not be Sc
cured in this country. The mill men
claim that their plants were lying idle
because of a scarcity of labor, hence
the importation of the English help.
They will further call attention to the
South Carolina cases, in which Secre-
tary Strauss of the department of conf
merce and labor held that immigrants
could be landed where they are needed
to take the place of American laborers
whose services can not be secured.
