WOMEN COST STATE
 MORE THAN MEN
COST OF MAINTAINING FEMALE PRISONERS IN NEW YORK PRIS. oNs IS ALMOST TWICE THAT OF THE MALES.

Albany. N. Y, January 19-It costs the state of New York almost twice as much to care for a woman prisoner as 1t does to provide for the wants of a man inmate in any one of it's several prisons, according to the annual re- port of the state commission on pris- ons which was made public today In the Auburn prison, where men only are harbored, the daily cost of main tenance for each prisoner was 3S.2 cents, while in the women's prison at Auburn it was 67.S cents. Another in- teresting feature of the report is that the state prisons in October last had larger number of inmates than at any other time within 10 years, with two exceptions. The total number was 12,277. During the year ending on that date the number of prisoners ad- mitted to the institutions, including county jails, penitentiaries and work houses was 97,619. of who 22, ,566 were women. The total number of women in custody at the close of the year was 1591.

Murderous Attack Is Cause of
 the LYnching
STRUNG UP BY MASKED MEN
Negro Had Escaped But Was Recap. tured by Sheriff When Two Hun dred Men Take Prisoner and
 Finish His Career.

Montgomery, January 19.-A special to the Advertiser from Dothan, Ala, says:
 Cleveland Franklin, a negro employe of the Southern Cotton Oil company, was lynched here tonight about o'clock by a masked mob of 200 angry citizens. The negros body was riddled with bullets after it had been swung from the limb of a tree in the northern part of the town.
 Franklin shot and seriously wounded A. c. Faulk, secretary and treasurer of the oil company, here last night after he had been caught in the act of robbing the cash drawer at the mill
 About 9 o'clock last night after an ab- sence from the office of a few minutes, MT. Faullx returned and found the negro on the floor under the cash drawer fum- bling with the combination. He asked the negro, who was in the employ of the mill, what he was doing, and was in- formed that the superintendent had sent him in to do some repair work and began to make other excuses
 MT. Faulk turned to call the superin- tendent and ask for an explanation. The negro, seeing that his ruse would not en- able him to escape, pulled a pistol and fired five times at MT. Faulk two of the shots taking effect
 The sheriff was notified immediately after the shooting and a posse was organ ized. A diligent search was made for the negro last night but without result. This morning the sheriff learned that the negro was at Webb, Ala, and later in the morn- ing he was captured there. Franklin was brought back to Dothan by private con- veyance. After putting the team up at the stable and just as the start was made for the jail mob of 200 men, all masked swooped down on the sheriff and his posse and forcibly took the prisoner, and ear ried him to a point a shors distance above the oil mil, who're they strung him to limb and riddled his body with bullets. The lynching created a great deal of excitement here. but no further trouble is expected. None of the men in the mob were recognized

CHIEF OF POLICE BEATEN AT HIS JOB
POLICE COMM ISSIoNER TAKES MATTERS OF GAMBLING AND SUNDAY CLOSING INTO HIS OWN HANDS IN A RAID.

Memphis, January 19.-When the docket is cleared in the city court to- morrow Fl prisoners, practically all of them negroes. will answer to the charge of gambling or conducting a gaming house, the result of several raids during last night and early to- day. conducted under the personal supervision of Police Commissioner Ed ward H. Crump, and without the knowledge of the police department.
 MT. Crump was recently elected as a member of the board of fire and police commissioners on an independent ticket and among his prediction pledges were that the law prohibiting gambling and the Sunday closing law sh ould be rigidly enforced, even should 1t be necessary for himself personally to participate in the actual work of their enforcement.
 Notwithstanding the fact that Chief of Police OHaver had issued positive instructions to those under his juris- diction, MT. Crump was informed that the instructions were not being carried out and, securing a force of special deputies, many of them from adjacent towns, personally supervised the raids which resulted in the unearthing of three alleged gaming houses The re- suit of the raids has caused consid- erable comment and interesting de- velopments are anticipated The police today were especially vigilant in en- forcing the Sunday law and several ar rests were made.
