TERRIBLE CRUELTY
IN TEXAS PRISONS
Fifty Conyicts Said to Have Been
Killed in Three Years.

Galveston, Tex, Nov. 8.-That more
than fifty convicts have been killed
by whippings and other cruelties
within three years is the allegation
made before the board of inquiry ap-
pointed to Investigate conditions in
Texas prisons, convict farms and
plantations. =. T. ~. II 4
The board finds it almost impossible
to wiring the evidence from convicts
whom they examine, as the latter say
they fear they will incur the hatred
of the guards. Many of the prisoners
say they could give specific Incidents
of beatings with heavy leather straps
two feet long until the victim was a
mass of bleeding wounds, from which
he died several days later.
One guard was declared to nave
shot an insane convict who was at.

state has plenty of ammunition"
The convicts showed the committee
welts and scars on their bodies and
declared that as many as seventy
blows had been administered with a
knotted strap. ,~-
They testifiei that convicts had
died from the effects Of beatjngs and
others of Overwork.

IMMENSE SUM FOR CHARITY
Nearly Thirty Millions Bequeathed by
John S. kennedv

Nearly Thirty Millions Bequeathed by
TX John S. Kennedy.
New York, Nov. 8.-The will of the
late John S. Kennedy, disposing of en-
estate of $C0,ooO.o00, leaves about
SEC, 100000 to charity.
Broadly speaking, he leaves a little
more than one-quarter of his entire
estate to his wife, Emma B. Kennedy,
who survives him, a little more than
another quarter to relatives and
friends and gives something less than
one-half to various charitable, relig-
ious, benevolent and educational in
situations.
His residuary estate is divided into
sixty-four parts, Of which Mrs. Ken,
nedy receives sixteen, mis- relatives
seventeen and the public institutions
thirty-one. Thus he leaves his widow
about $1e,00G,U0G, his relatives s16,-
100000 and the remainder to public
and semi-public institutions.
Nearly half of the public benefac-
lions go to Institutions connected with
the Presbyterian church. The char
liable, religious and educational in
situations which receive the largest
requests are to share the residue of
the estate left after definite gifts of
approximately S12,OO0,00O have been
paid out.

would suggest further, for the benefit
of all the settlers who are struggling in
these northern woods, that the state
legislature should provide for the taxation
of state lands, held for speculation, as
other lands are taxed, so that such
state lands may bear fair share of the
cost of road making and other local
improvements This seems only just as
the increase in value of such lands is
dependant largely upon the labor of the
settlers on the adjacent farms. 1t is very
desirable that the state should have large
university, school and other funds; but
it may also be good craftsmanship to
spend some money in bringing the wisdom
of the states highest ms titutions directly
to the doors of the homesteaders in the
form of scientific demonstrations of good
road making that will show them the
administration is looking after the inter-
ests of all parts of the commonwealth,
and convince them that northern Mime
sofa is, after all, a good place in which
to live.
present these few remarks for your
consideration, believing that, in the i'm
portant office which you have so ably
filled for several years, you have gained
an experience and knowledge of state
affairs that will enable you to counsel
where counsel may be needed and to
assist in directing legislation that may
be beneficial not only to this new settle
ment in the north, but to all the state.

LAKE BRIDGE
CAUSING MUCH TROUBLE
Traffic Over Bridge Near Tenstrike Was
Temporarily Suspended will
-. @,.-= Soon Resume.

The NJ. & I. Railway company has
been having serious trouble near
Tenstrike, because of the. partial
failure of an attempt to fill in the
bridge which has spanned~a portion
of Erickson lake, where there was
formerly trestling. u -
The company has used gravel
train and a steam shovel in an at
tempt to fill the hole, but when it
appeared as if the bottom was
found, the gravel would shift and
the temporary road bed established
under the bridge would give away,
still leaving a deep hole that ap-
peared to have no bottom.
Last week, there was apparently
some Roadway in filling the gap,
but late Friday night the gravel
began to again slide and on Satur-
day the bridge was in such con-
dition that orders were issued to
cease hauling cars, temporarily,
over the bridge.
The unsafe condition of the
bridge caused the necessity of
transferring passengers and bag
gage at the bridge, while the
trains from either direction re-
NAMED at the end of the bridge
and were sent back over the. line.
1t is expected that the bridge
will be repaired temporarily so
that trains will be running through
by tomorrow. -.
