ECONOMICAL INSTITUTION
House of Correction is Nearly Self
Supporting

In connections with the earnings
of prisoners in the various jails
throughout the state, and the amounts
turned to the state treasurer by the
sheriffs considerable interest will at
tach itself to the statement of Super
intendent d. H. Morgan of the house
of correction, regarding the earnings
of prisoners there.
Sheriff Frank II. Tracey of Wash
ington county has made a statement
TO the press of the state recently in
which he points out that prisoners in
his charge have earned $1S9S.73 dur
ing the past year. The net profits
turned over to the state in the same
time were Sl00S3l and Sheriff Tracy
has been receiving well deserved com
pliments on the result of mis- years
work.
But the work of superintendent
Morgan in this regard Is particularly
noteworthy also. During the past
year the farm and garden run in con
nection with the institution has earn
ed sufficient money to enable the SUI
perintehdent to turn over to the state
$3.50. in addition 10 this enough
vegetables, milk and eggs were pro
duced TO supply 'he prison These
figures are for the garden and farm
alone and do not take into account
the very considerable sum earned by
the prisoners in other activities of
the prison.
During the year, prisoners did 1862
DAYS work on the farm, or an average
of three and one-half prisoners at
work each day of the year The cost
of boarding prisoners at the house Of
correction is about f. or IA cents per
day, while i'm the county iails the
state allows the sheriff 80 cents per
day for board for each prisoner
For the two years previous TO the
compiling OF the last report of SUI
perintendent Morgan, the institution
received S39,SSO from the state and
paid back s37,l65.50 not inclusive of
fines and costs so that the actual cost
of running the entire institution for
the two years was only $3S71.65 or
little more than $500 year-Rut-

JACOB SCHIFF PROPOSES
NEW INCOME TAX PLAN
Noted Banker Has Scheme to Over.
come Objections Made by
Financiers

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-An income
tax designed to overcome objections
which were raised when the tax was
last imposed is suggested by Jacob H.
Schiff of the banking firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., as a means of meeting
the increasing deficit in the United
States treasury.
Discussing the plan Mr.. Schiff, after
condemning the issuance of additional
government securities as "perniciOus
and dangerous" said:
what we need is a real revenue
producing system which shall interfere
in no way and affect as little as pos
sible questions connected with the tar
iff or the country's bank or currency
systems. 1 believe this is to be found
in the income tax.
"The objections, it seems, can be met
by means of measure which shall tax
only income or revenue derived from
business and especially interstate COM
merce. If investigation be made of the
source of income in this country it will
develop that an enormous revenue to
which practically all contribute in an
equal manner can thus by means of
a moderate income tax be produced.
$50 far the banking business is
concerned such an income tax would
yield very large revenue to the gov
ernment and this is even true, of
course, in many other forms of COM
mercial and industrial enterprises

would have helped him if could. When
l first knew Fred he had money, but
his wife wisely had it put in her name.
when his attentions to me became
offensive I went to his wife and told
her, and she said if Fred liked me bet
ter than herself she would get divorce
and let him marry me- but would not
stand for this, as I have husband of
my own, although do not know where
he is now. 1 was married in Nashville,
Tenn, when 1 was Is years old, and my
husband took me to San Francisco for
my health. He then deserted me and
left me to work for myself. I had never
worked before 1 was married, but | had
to and worked until 1 was sick. I came
to Los Angeles about five months ago
and met Fred on the street one day He
seemed awfully good and helped me to
get work.
Regarded Her as Mother
1.-THE reason 1 gave the name Of Bill
lie Mitchell at the Cadillac was so that
Fred would not be able to locate me, as
did not want to do wrong by his wife,
whom I regarded as a mother and who
gave me good advice"
At Mrs. Norris room in the Cadillac a
revolver and some cartridges were
found which Mrs. Norris explained she
took away from Knoblock.
Asked if she thought Knoblock meant
what he said when he stated he had cut
his wife's throat, Mrs. Norris said:
Il do not know, but l would not be
surprised. L do not know where she is,
but know she moved Saturday, but to
what address L do not know. Mrs.
Knoblock was a very tall, slim blonde,
fragile and unable to do hard work, but
she was wise enough to get Fred S
money and put it in her own name. I
am not seriously hurt and will soon be
all right. regret the affair, but it was
all his fault, as 1 tried to do as any re-
spectacle girl would do"
Mrs. Norris seemed to regard the af-
fair lightly and answered all questions
without hesitation. After a little coax
ing she agreed to have her picture
taken.
Among those who witnessed the
shooting were w. J. McCloskey, D. Will
liams, a timer employed at 237 West
Fourth street; R. Ruoff, 224 West
Fourth street, and William Martin, 31S
East Fifth street.
Aaron Maybee, brother of Mrs. Nor
ris, who lives in Pasadena, arrived at
the hospital this afternoon and talked
to his sister for few minutes. He said
he knew nothing of the circumstances.
Despite the declaration that Fred
KnOblOck made when he shot Mrs.
Odessa Norris to the effect that he had
killed his wife, reports made to the po-
lice by Mrs. Knoblock'S friends say
she is safe and all right, no attempt on
her life having been made. They re-
fuse to say where she is staying.
