B|G SHAKE-UP IN
 FEDERAL PRISON
SPECIAL lNVESTlGATOR HAS H. llClT WHISKY TRAFFIC
 UNDER FIRE.
THREE GUARDS LET OUT
Warden McCIaughry Declares He Fears Dishonest Guards More Than Convicts Themselves
 His Hardest Problem.

Leavenworth, Kas., Sept 17.-A big shake-up is expected among the guards at the federal prison here. Newton Moore, a federal inves stigator. Is now at the prison looking into the conduct of the guards following the discharge of one guard for smuggling morphine to convict and two others for smuggling whisky to prisoners working on the new prison wall Maj. R. w. McClaughry, warden of the. pris- on, is in full sympathy with the in- vestigation now going on. He is quoted as saying:
 The disloyalty of the guards is the hardest proposition with which we have to contend. We have in the fed. eral prison 121 life prisoners-the most desperate class of criminals in the world. All of them will drink whisky and whisky would make them uncomfortable. If one of them should get drunk he could kill dozen men before he could be stopped. They have no guns, but with the chisels and axes they are working with they could start an uprising.
 Fear of Struggled Fire Arms.
 Although the guards are citizens of the United States and take an oath to do their duty, they allow themselves to become the tools of criminals just for few dollars they are able to col lect from women and relatives outside the prison walls Dishonest guards 1 fear more than prisoners. If they will smuggle in whisky and drugs. it may not be long until they will include firearms among their articles of com merce."
 Tn the old prison, smuggling of weapons, drugs and whisky was . comparatively easy task, owing to the many dark corners in the corridors. Warden McClaughry planned the new prison in detail and he has eliminated most of the danger points by letting light reach everywhere.
 Guards Are Corrupted.
 Since the new prison has removed much of the opportunity for snug gling, this traffic has been carried on chiefly by men working on the large wall now being constructed by convict labor. The system is for the convict to pick his guard. approach him with no object except to establish an ac- quaintance. Then the name of this guard is sent to friend, wife or rel ative on the outside of the prison.
 These friends meet the guard while he is off duty, grow friendly with him and then tell the guard their connec- ton with the prisoner.
 My husband is in there. His num- Der is 565,555 and he has a longing yes, I know he is homesick for this bit of dope. Now, I know this is against the rules, but you can slip this to him without being caught and here is a little change which you might be able to use."
 Usually a greenback or a gold coin will cause the dope" to be delivered. The guard sees that 1t Is easy to de- liver the small package and the money comes easy Of course, if the first at- tempt of the friend on the outside is successful the dope" comes regularly after that because both the prisoner and the friend have something "on" the guard and he can't refuse them without fear of being turned up."
