"Thc Wills OF Jcricho."
The presentation at the Academy last
night of Alfred Sutros English society
play. THE Walls OF Jericho" by Mr..
Herbert Kelley and Miss Eff1e Shan
non was q marked success. This drama,
in which James Is. Hackett starred last
season. has real literary merit. 1t de-
rives its name from the idea, admira-
bly, carried out. of the wall of hypoc-
racy and deceit erected around a Lon-
don society set. Jack Frobisher,
rich. self-reserved man. who has made
fortune In the English colonies mar
ries into this set. At first he Is con-
tented to treat the, rich snobs and titled
yaEahonds among whom he is thrown
with silent contempt and a half-amuse,l
scorn until his manhood is almost
lu.ied into q dormant state. But later.
when his wife is becoming involved in
love affair with one of this set. he
heroically throws Off his letters, and
with one manly blast skaters the
walls which contine him. thereby pre-
manhood and saving his Wife.
Mr.. Kelley played the character of
Jack Frobisher with much force. His
best work was done in the strong.
virile scene. In which the shallownes:
and hypocrisy of the society surrounds
as his WIFI, q frivolous and shallow
woman of the world. was excellent
and the development Of her better self
was portrayed with delicate hand.
Her delineation of the character was
delightful. and showed the work OF a
true art st. Frank Kingston, as Han

Oriental Limited No. / Had

Emerado.
THE FRONT TRUCKS SLID

THE FRONT TRUCKS SLID

The Great Northern railway had one
more OF these lucky escapes from SER
ious accident yesterday at Emerado
when through a chance of fate Train
No. the west bound Oriental limited,
stopped at Emerald to let No. 6 pass.
AS Conductor Chaffee gave the
signal to the engineer to open the
throttle he heard dragging sounu
under the front mail car, and a quick
glance showed the front trucks swing
ing clear with nothing but coupling
pins to hold the end of the car off the
rails. Thestrain was stopped, the car
taken of and the Oriental proceeded
on its way with but few of the passen-
gers the wiser.
The seriousness of the accident that
was thus fortunately averted can only
be imagined when one stops to con-
slider that had No. kept on Its way
instead of stopping at Emerald with
the clip Of fifty miles an hour which
the train maintains, the breaking OF
the front pin and the sliding of the
trucks would have resulted in the
telescoping of almost every car on the
entire train and one of the most fright
full accidents of the year would have
been recorded.
However, Great Northern luck was
much in evidence for No. happened
to be a little late necessitating the
passing of No. l and 6 at Emerald In
stead of Arvilla.

Self Supporting.
In order that the penitentiary may
be self supporting, the present man
agement has been developing the
farming scheme until now nearly
every thing needed to supply the tab
les is produced on the farm operated
in connection with the institution.
Last year between 600 and 700 acres
were under cultivation and with the
exception of potatoes every vegetable
used at the institution during the year
has been grown on the farm, The
meat used is raised and fattened at
the institution and the prisoners are
given the chance to have fresh meats
as we'll as the cured ones, every
pound of which is produced on the
farm.
Overcrowded.
That the penitentiary is like some
of the other concerns of the country,
in that the demands have outgrown
the resources, is evident. With the
rapidly increasing population and the
consequent increase Of criminals it
must appear to every fair minded per-
son that the needs of this institution
is almost imperative. It is true that
the splendid business ability of War
den Boucher has largely placed the
current expenses beyond the need of
state aid and If permitted to continue
the magnificent administration which
he is now in, it will not be very long
until the taxpayers of the state will
be entirely relieved Of the burdens of
caring for the convicted criminals.
But to do this successfully he must
have such enlarged plans and such
opportunities for utilizing the labor
of the inmates that every one of them
can be made to earn his keep and add
small item to the profit side of the
ledger. For instance. If the Irvine
plant is enlarged it will not only give
an opportunity for large number of
convicts now employed in the present
plant under rather adverse circum-
stances and with little advantage as
profit makers, but at the same time
will give employment to still larger
number who are not now employed
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-02-07

to the best advantage because Of the
limited conditions. These would be-
come more largely means of making
money for the institution and adding
to it's revenue.
Warden Boucher.
1t is seldom that man is found who
combines the administrative ability
necessary to properly manage a penal
institution like the Bismarck peniten-
tiary with business ability sufficient
to turn every opportunity into money.
But such man is the present warden.
He is one of the most advanced think
ers along the lines of penal reforms
and is in advance of many of the abb
est advocates of the humanitarian
system of reform as against that of
the brutal methods of medieval times.
Yet at the same time he is a sound
and able business man who is as
much at home in the application of
business principles to the working of
his institution as he is in looking after
the comfort, the welfare and the re-
formation of those who unfortunately
are committed to his care by the state.
He is unquestionably the equal of anv
man in the nation engaged in similar
work, if not the superior.

Jerome again took the witness.

Jerome again took the witness.
You say you met me at the Union
club, now how many drinks had you
had that night?"
II don't know, had one with you,"
came the reply, and it was some time
before the bailiffs could restore order
in the court room.
Justice Fitzgerald threatened to re-
move any person who again created
disturbance. The court room was
crowded at the time, many gaily dress
ed women having been admitted by
court officers during the luncheon re-
cess. For the first time since the trial
began, the court officers seemed to
have let down the barriers to the idly
curious. -
Alienist on Stand.
DR.. John E. Deemar, who was on
the stand yesterday, but not allowed
to testify. was recalled today and tes-
titled that Henry w. Copley, the de-
PENDANTS uncle ON the maternal side,
had been insane. Jerome had declar-
ed early in the day that he would not
object to the testimony as to insanity
in the family, provided proper founda-
tons were laid for it.
When, however. DIR. Deemar started
to testify as to a cousin of the defend
ant, Jerome said he felt he must OBJ
ject again. He declared it should first
be shown that Harry Thaw was insane
by competent evidence, and it must
further be proved that the character
of his insanity is hereditary. Then, he
declared, and not until then, could
corroborative testimony as to insanity
in collateral branches Of the family be
placed before the jury. Justice Fitz-
gerald sustained the district attorney
and Delmas said he would conduct the
case accordingly. The court then adj
journed.
