PRISON WILL ASK
FOR ONLY $500
Marquette Institution Will Not
Worry Legislature With De-
: mands for Funds.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Dec. 23.-The
forthcoming session of the Legislature
will have no trouble meeting the de-
mands of the board of control of the
Marquette prison, for the reason that
there are not going to be any de-
mands. The legislature will be asked
for only one special appropriation for
the institution, and that will be Tor
but 5000. 10 cover an oyerdraft. The
board will not ask for a dollar for
building or for any other special pur.
pose. This record IL is said, Will be
almost unique for a state institution,
as usually there are requests for spe-
cial appropriations running all the
way from a few thousands up to $780,
600 or 100000.
The board and officers OF the Mar.
Quette prison have adopted the policy
OF going ahead with minor improve.
ments such as they previously asked
special appropriations tor and sub
hitting the bills for them as part OF
the regular current expenses OF the
. institution. These accounts have al
ways been allowed by the auditor
generals department. Ii is the idea
of the board that heretofore many
special appropriations have been asked
when the objects for which they were
sought should properly have been
charged rs part of the current ex-
penses. Big items, such as extensive
building operations, would, however,
be presented to the Legislature for APP
prevail for they would be regarded as
outside and beyond current expenses
The board would be warranted IL
asking the legislature to make all alp
preparation for a new cell block, as
the number OF convicts ut the prison
for several months has exceeded the
numbers of cells available. Some con
victs sleep on cots in the corridors.
Others from time 10 time have temp
orary quarters in the solitary cell
block, or bull PEN where. however,
they are about as well of as they
would be in regular cells. But the
board will let another two-year period,
at least. pass before putting the need
of another cell block up to the leg
islature.
One reason that the Marquette
prison board can refrain from asking
the legislature for any extraordinary
appropriations, is found in the fact
that it's members and the officers OF
the prison have been constantly en-
gagged the past eight years in repair
work and the physical plant Of the in
stitution 10 now in excellent condition.
The ONLY Exception to this Is the
barns. outside the walls. These are
badly run down, they being the orig
inal frame structures, but the board
has decided to get along with them
as best can be done for an additional
time.

ALEX. bartlett IS
TAKEN BY DEATH
End Comes Suddenly To Veteran
Windsor Magistrate After Recovery
Has Apparently Set In.

After battling for two days against
death, Alexander Bartlett, whose seri-
GUS illness was announced in The
Times on Wednesday. died in his
home, No. 20 Ferry-st., Windsor, about
4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The
end was sudden, coming just when
Mr.. Bartlett was supposed to be gain
irx strength. He cen wanted to ieae
his bed a short time before his death,
and thns4<at his bedside had to dis
suade nh th his wish. He passed
away pePee0lly.
WihdsAx was profoundly shocked
ON hearty of Mr.. Bartlet's death. In
spite or adanced age, nearly So, and
the realization that he was i'll a seri-
Gus condition, it was hoped that his
remarkable vitality would be sufficient
to overcome the illness. The citizens
also received encouraging reports from
his bedside, Thursday morning. The
patient himself even gave his friends
confidence by declaring, as late as a
few hours before his death, that he
would weather the gale.
The news OF Mr.. Bartlet's death
spread quickly throughout the city,
inasmuch as every citizen, man, wo-
man and child. was interested In him.
The announcement cast a deep gloom
over the entire city, and many were
the expressions of regret over the
passing OF the city's grand old man."
Having come to Windsor in 1858,
when the community was nothing but
a small village. he was closely identi-
fed with its growth. For over 20
years he served as town clerk and
for 30 more years vas police magis-
trate of the city, resigning the latter
position only two years ago. On the
occasion of his leaving the bench,
which he quit because OF his weight
of years, he was rendered remark
able testimonial by the city council.
On behalf OF the citizens the council
presented him with n handsomely en-
crossed resolution, which gave ex-
preston TO the citizens appreciation
OF his faithful services and wished him
many years of continued good health
and happiness. A public reception
was also held, so that every citizen
would have chance 10 meet the re-
firing magistrate. Most people in the
city availed themselves OF the oppor-
tunity 10 shake the old gentlemen's
hand and wish him we'll the remain
der of his days.
Since then Mr. Bartlett has lived in
retirement. but was as active as ever
up TO few days before his death,
taking long walk almost every day
His final collapse was brought on by
overwork in connection with his prep
aration OF financial statement Of the
affairs of Windsor Grove cemetery, OF
which he was secretary-treasurer and
the only surviving original trustee.
In the meeting of the cemetery au-
thorities Mr.. Bartlett resigned as an
official He. also, a few days before.

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BIZ
WILLIAM O. FREEMAN.
NO. 613.

The only way to learn is to
ask questions.
This column asked a question
recently as to WHY REPUTA-
BILE BANKERS DID NOT AID
VERTISE in more human in
terest way:
The answer came in by the
next mail from MIR. f. w. SHIB-
LEY, of f. w. SHIRLEY & Co.,
dealers in investment securities
in New York. Here it is:
This is the answer to your inquiry
why Investment Bankers do not adj
vertise their bonds and stocks by tell
ing the public how careful they have
been in their Investigations In what
you call HUMAN INTEREST" way
The story OF how a escurity is pur-
chased, why ii is issued and the bene-
fit that will accrue to the Corporation
from its sale would make a mighty
good Human Interest" story, and
would give Investors much better
knowledge of the Corporation whose
securities they buy than the bare cold
statement of facts that Bankers pre-
sent in their circulars and advertise
ments.
But Fakirs and Swindlers (they de-
serve no better names) have been
telling beautiful human interest
stories in circulars and newspapers
about Oil Wells, Mines of all kinds
and New Inventions until the public
is absolutely certain that "all men
are liars"
The IRRESPONSIBLE BROKER
whohas sold Worthless Stocks and
Bonds on Human Interest" stories
has injured the legitimate investment
business just as the merchant who has
advertised his goods untruthfully has
( destroyed in part the value for HON
, EST ADVERTISING.
The Public is far more intelligent
than II Is credited with being Mer
and women as a rule have been taught
by bitter experience to expect the
greatest mendacity in the most hon
estly written financial advertisement
unless name OF RECOGNIZED PRO
BITY appears above or below that ad
vertisement.
To acquire such a name is a life
work of patient conservatism and hon
est dealing. The financial district of
