ARIS7OCRATS
IN FEDERAL Pen
PRISON AT LEAvENWORTH NOW
CONTAINS 81 BANKERS-THEY
WEAR THE PRISON UNIFORM,
AND EAT PRISON FARE

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Dec. 25.
Captain Flavius j. Tygard, the
former Butler, Mo, banker now in
the penitentiary here, is in poor
health and has spent most of his
time in the hospital since his ar
rival.
The advent of Tygard has called
attention to the number of former
bankers in the prison There are
Fl, and they are rapidly becoming
the most numerous class in the pris-
on, being exceeded now only by the
horsethieves and territorial lid-lift-
ers.
The former bankers are the aristo-
Gratis of the prison life. most of them
being educated men of refined tastes
and accustomed to polite society.
They are now shorn of the side
whiskers and other marks of respec-
liability by which they were identi-
fed in the old days before high
finance sent them behind the bars.
The wear the prison uniform,
they walk lockstep, the eat prison
fare. They are liable to be put in
the dungeon if they become refrac-
tory.
But the 81 bankers are not refrac-
tory. Most of the colony have at
tanned the honor of being made
TRUSTEES and their work is cleri-
cal They keep the prison books,
check up the prison laundry and
otherwise look after the records of
the institution
One long row of cells is known as
bankers row." 1t Is on the second
floor, where the deputy warden has
MS office. Many bankers occupy cells
In that row, but the same rules
about rising prevail there as else
where In the penitentiary.
The former bankers are not re-
quired to eat with the mechanics and
ether conyicts who do manual labor.
But that Is not because of any sym
pathy. They might get their clothes
dirty sitting beside laborers, and
dirty clothes would soil the books on
whieh the bankers work.
10 Favors Shown to Them
1t GAS been reported from time to
time by guards who have been dis
charged and by former convicts that
the bankers have what is termed in
the Prison fat SNAP" but such is
far from: being the case. Regarding
this report, Warden McClaughry
says: .....
+ These men are held to the same
srequifRments as to. uniform, table
Fprivilages,j marching and other reg.
ulations that the other convicts are
bound by and In no respect have
they privileges that cannot be earn
ed byEany other prisoner, be he
horse thief or a murderer.
There are prisons where bankers
are NOT only given better food. being
permitted to dine at separate tables,
but are also permitted to wear fam
cy vests, shoes, fiashy neckties and
cttizenG clothing, and the rigid
equality maintained at this institu-
tion has been the cause for some
comment by visitors One recently
here expressed surprise when the
bankers appeared In the regulation
prison agarb marching in line with
convicts of all classes, and sat down
at the same tables with these men
and ate the same kind of food.
In this prison no man is better
than his comrade in crime and Jus
tice for all favors for none,' is the
rule"

WATT COVERS
 HUBER'S MONEY Algonquins to Line Up Against Independents by Decem-
 Der 23.
MATCH AT TUXEDO ALLEY.
Most Important Contest Ever Held Here-Money Posted
 With Journal Courier.

James s. Watt came up from Bridgeport yesterday afternoon and deposited with the Journal-courier $50 to cover the forfeit posted by Otto Huber as a guarantee of his challenge to the Bridgeport bowlet's team.
 The challenge was general one and yesterday afternoon in the Jour nal-Courier office Mir. Huber and MT. Watt agreed upon arrangements for the match which will be the greatest that New Haven has ever seen. The team which will meet Huber's Independents will be the Algonquins of New York, of which Watt is a member. The match is to be played at the Tuxedo alleys some evening be- tween now and December 2S, the date to be announced later in this paper
 There is to be a return game played on New York alleys and for this for felt of $125 will be posted with the Journal-Courier before the match is played at the Tuxedo alleys.
 The match is to be rolled under the
 
 eastern rules with one man, two men, three men and five men events. On each of the three first events the op- posing teams are to put up $25 while on the final event $50 a side will make things interesting.
 In the one man event the winner of three out of five gets the mataN; in tbn trrh ,,,ap o.yan+ ki,a ,,,;y.x.a,g ~a A.. |. out of three; in the three men event, the winner of two out of three. and in the five men event, the winner of two out of three. The matches will start at p. m. On what alleys in New York the return game will be rolled wiil.be decided in the coming few days,
 The Algonquins team is to be made up of Jimmie smith, Dave Shiman, Jim Watt, Schwebker and Wyman withe the privilege of one substitute The Independents will play: Huber, ColIett, Janswiek. Webber and Reilly. The privilege of a substitute is also given the Independents, and if he will play Riddell will probably be substl- tuted for Reilly.
 The contest between the two teams will certainly be a very close one and will attract besides bowiers from all over the state, representation from New York, where the Algonquins is one of the best known teams. The one man event Is one which will be awaited with interest because of the fact that Watt is anxious to get at George Collett of the Independents. Challenges between these two men have been flying thick and fast, and they may get together in this event. II is probable, however, that if Watt takes the one man event for himself on the Algonquins' side, Huber will have Janswiek represent the Indepen- dents, as he is the steadiest roller on the team and will play in most of the 1 matches.
