Kansas fndorses Parole system.

The annual report of the Kansas State
penitentiary takes a strong stand in favor
of the parole system. which has been
under experiment for two or three years.
The officers say nat persons discharged
in this way are kept in restraint and
strengthened in manner that aids them
to become good citizens. Few persons VIC
late their parole and few are afterward
returned for new crimes. On the other
hand, two or three term persons are gem
orally found to be those who have been
discharged without restraint. Warden
Haskell says that the parole law has
passed the experimental stage and that of
40 persons thus released only thirty
five violated their promise. The peniten-
tiary was run at a net profit of S6I4.-
916 in two years. 1t cost s 80 cents a
day to feed each prisoner. owing to the
quantity of food raised on the farm.

THAW TRIAL BEGINS.
MILLIONAIRE CHARGED WITH
NUMBERING WHITE.
One of the Most Remarkable Trials
in the Criminal History of New
York-ReSut Watched by Nota-
bles in Two Continents

The great Thaw trial is on in New
York. The fight to save Harry Ken
dali Thaw from death in the electric
chair for the Staying Of Architect STAN
ford White began Wednesday morning
before Justice Fitzgerald. The drawing
of the jury to try the young Pittsburg
millionaire, began with the opening of
court
Long before the hour set for the
trial, crowds fiocked TO the Criminal
Courts building and filled the rotunda.
An hour before the trial began the
crowd was driven into the street and
every entrance guarded by police. Only
talesmen and reporters were allowed to
enter the courtroom. The trial over
Swallowed the Molineaux and Patrick
trials Over 200 newspaper men made
application for admission to report the
trial No spectators We're allowed in
the trial ROOM There were correspond
ents from Paris, London and Berlin
and Oh the lower floor of the building
cable and telegraph offices were in
stalled.
Outside, crowds waited to get q
glimpse of the prisoner as he passed
over the bridge of signs. 1t was only
a fleeing glimpse Of a shadow outlined
on an Opaque sheet Of glass, but the
curious had waited hours to see that
shadow and they were satisfied.
Thaw came to his trial for the muir
der of Stanford White on the roof of
Madison Square Garden on the night
of June %, last year. The millionaire
prisoner believed that White was seek
ing to separate him from his wife. the
beautiful Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. the art
list model. Emotional insanity is the
defense offered to save the young Pitts
burg youth from the electric chair.
When Justice Fitzgerald took his
seat in court and Harry Thaw had been
brought from the prisoners pen to his
seat beside the counsel table, & trial
was begun that will remain perhaps
forever on the pages of criminal his
tory in New York without a parallel.
All the elements of tragedy are
woven in the warp and wool of his
case. All the characters of the stage

SAYS PRETTY GIRL IS WITCH.
Farmer Asserts She Cast Spell on
Son and Whole Family.

Son and Whole Family.
Jacob Jarbens, a wealthy farmer OF
Boyd county, Neb., believes that witch
craft of the old Salem sort is still to be
met with in this country. He appeared
at the Office of the county attorney at
Butte with a complaint to the effect that
Miss Jennie Swartz of Spencer was
witch and was guilty of practicing witch
craft and with a request that she be ar
rested at once and made to answer for
her alleged crimes. Jarbens, who is ~
years DID, told his story with tears in his
eyes. His 20-year-old daughter was with
him. Miss Swartz is attractive and IS
employed as a saleswoman in big gen
eral store in Spencer. Jarbens alleges
that his son, q years old, went to a
dance and while Waiting with Miss
Swartz he found suddenly that he was
unable to put one of his feet on the floor
He was led TO a seat and became hyster-
zeal, laughing and crying by turns He
insisted that the girl with whom he dane
ed had bewitched him. He went into the
open air and after a time the spell wore
off. Later IL the evening. unable to resist
her, he danced with the young woman
again, with the same result. This time
the spell did not wear off until someone
went to the Jarbens farm and quoted
from the scripture. 1t relieved the young
man for time, but the spells have re-
turned at intervals. The young man was
sent from his home to another part OF the
State finally, in the hope that the alleged
witch's spell might be broken for good
After he was sent away, however, the
father declared. spells were cast upon 9TH
err members of his family and stock be-
longing to him died. Jarbens was deeply
disappointed to learn that there was no
law on the statute books of Nebraska
covering witchcraft.

Alleges Awful Conditions.
Former Gov. Mcconnell of Idaho
charges gross mismanagement of the In
dian schools and arraigns the system by
which young Indian girls are taken from
their parents and sent to the schools. He
alleges that the teachers practice cruelty
upon their charges. Blame for these al
legged conditions he places upon Secretary
Hitchcock. Mr.. Mcconnell further says
that the officials of the Interior Depart
ment conceal the state of affairs from the
President. The reservation schools are
badly overcrowded, he asserts, as the
agents try to secure as large a per capita
appropriation as possible. He claims to
have seen instances in which Indian boys
with running tubercular sores were COM
PEELED to sleep with healthy Indians.

There have been stories of disagree
ment between Secretary Taft and Shonts
and it has been said that the President
has not been satisfied with him. Still,
these stories have always been denied at
the White House and in the War Depart
ment. where it has been consistently held
that Shonts was in perfect accord with
the President and Taft.
When Mr.. Shonts went to Washington
ii is declared he did not at all realize
that the actual control over the digging
of the Panama canal had been officially
placed in the hands of the Secretary of
War. Out of this misunderstanding of
official status there grew social tempest
which has dubbed up more or less in ev-

A stick of dynamite. weighing one and

was found just beside the rail on the st.

reason for the attempt is not known.
