PRISONER TALKS.
Friends Of the management of the
institution may claim that the state.

have known nothing OF the charges
made against the Institution, refutes
the charges of inhumane treatment,
insufficient food, etc.

charges. would make any statement
other than that ascribed to him when
confronted by the directors and super

he was still prisoner and would still

The News does not dispute the
statement OF Prisoner, Heggy but his
statement is In disparity with those
made by others who have suffered I'M

statement that the prisoners receive
plenty of good food Ia at variance with
that OF several prisoners released from

was that hot water took the place OF
coffee, that the bread was stale and
often mouldy and that meat was serv-
ed but once day and then the portion
received by each prisoner was but a
mouthful. Potatoes. he said, were
served In plenty but they were the
only article of food that was not

Not Available At Once
British Convict REGIMENTS.

At the beginning of the eighteenth
century the British army had a bad
reputation at home and it was very
difficult to get recruits for it. For this
reason it was officially proposed to
find the men by an impressment fall
ing on amy sturdy beggar, fortune
teller or the like idle, unknown, sus-
pected fellow in the parish; or if there
be none such. then anyone that has al
ready been in a gaol or before a JUS
tice of the peace for his idle, disorder
ly life" The advice was acted upon
Debtors were released from prison on
promising to join the army or the
navy. criminals were pordoned on the
same terms. and persons with no Wis
ible means of subsistence were
marched off to death and glory The
system worked out better than might
have been expected. In the peninsulaI

ments were composed entirely of con
victs, and one made for itself an il

CHANGE TRAINING PLANS.

A change in the cubs training plans
was announced yesterday by President
Murphy. The team Will not leave on
the spring trip March ?, but will wait
until Monday, March, 4. before depart
ing for West Baden, Ind. the first stop
on the program.
The switch was made on account Of
the late date for holding the schedule
meeting in New York-Feb. 20 The
cub president fears he may be detained
few days in the east. and wants to
get back here and have a talk with
each one of his players before they
start on their trip.
The change in plans will not cause
a shift in the dates already arranged,
but will merely shorten the stay at
West Baden by forty-eight hours. The
cubs will leave the water resort TO
reach New Orleans March 10, as orig
inally planned.
President Comiskey of the world 5
champions also announced little
change in the plans of the white sox
A game has been scheduled with Gal
weston for March 81. That will be two
days after the engagement at Monte
rey. Manager Jones and section OF
the squad will be playing in New
Orleans on the 21st, and the team that
fills the Galveston date will be the
bunch that plays in Monterey, Mexico

club at a boxing show in the near fu-

ment on the possibilities Of this big
fellow as a candidate for premier fistic

circulated three years ago that Rose,
then at Michigan, had announced his
intention OF challenging Jim Jeffries
for the championship.
The story at that time, when the
newspapers were full Of the achieve
ments Of both men, Ralph being in the
heydey Of his glory as a college ath-
lete and Jeffries in his greatest cham
pionship form. created a lot Of excite
ment. but Roses chances were not look
ed upon as any too rosy, for fight
critics and the sporting public had
placed Jenries on a pedestal which
seemed too high to be reached.
Rose was severely criticised for his
boastful utterances and so keenly did
he feel the criticism that he disclaimed
all knowledge of the reported chal-
Ienge and denied it's authority.
That he had hankerings for the ring

good time.
Coach Cayou is not only anxious to
win this event because it count five
points for the winner. but because it
is considered the best event on the
program.
Unless something unexpected happens
the Wabash team will line up as fol-
lows:

MELODY BOUT
A JOLT TO FANS
New Yorker Succumbs to
Opponents Onslaught
in Fourth Round.

Providence. r. /, Feb. 11.-Wfth a
terrific right hook to the jaw after
two minutes of lighting in the
fourth round Honey Melody Of Boston
effectively Quashed the welterweight
aspirations Of Willie Lewis of New
York. winning a decisive victory in
what was carded to be fifteen round
battle for the championship Of the
world in this class at the Valley Falls
Athletic club last evening. The I'll
tie, however. was safe. even had the
verdict been otherwise as neither man
made the required weight Of 14o
pounds. The men weighed in at 14-
pounds in this city yesterday after
noon at o'clock, thereby squelching
the hopes of the local fans for cham
pionship bout.
The bout was a great jolt TO the
boxing fans all over the country. as il
was supposed that it would go down
in the history of the ring as one OF the
most gruelling contests on record
Never at any stage Of the running did
Lewis show that he cIassed with the
champion. There was simply nothing
TO it from the outset of the struggle
The fight showed decisively that
Lewis has been over-rated as a fighter
Lewis showed that he had both class
and punch in the third round. but his
punch never seemed to worry Melody
who would only smile when he landed
one.
The end came in the fourth round
when Melody put a right and left tc
the jaw. putting Lewis down. His
seconds then threw in the sponge.
