FOR YEAR 1912
FIGURES OF SECRETARY OF
NAVY MEYER SHOW A SAVING
OF 5000 900.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Estimates o
Secretary of the Navy Meyer for th,
fiscal year 1912, which show saving
of $500, 600 as compared with the ap
preparation for the current year, pro
vide for an expenditure of IS, ,135, ,S27
for public works at navy yards and
stations. These are for items regard
ed as essential and are based upon
a recent inspection by Secretary
Meyer.
The original recommendation for
these works reached $2,GSl $50. Some
of the items are:
New York navy yard, 81 1,469,O
Pearl Harbor, Hawaiian islands ma
val station, s2,2S7OOO; Norfolk,
navy yard, $347,5OO; Olongapo, Phil
ippines naval station, 100000; Phil
adelphia navy yard, $4,000; marine
barracks, s25O,0OO; Puget Sound navy
yard, s9SO,OOO.
The secretary says that to con-
struct the collier which congress di-
rected shall be built at government
navy yard on the Pacific coast, it
will be necessary to increase the lin
it of cost from 100000 to 81 500, 900
OF which $531 900 should be appro-
priated for next year.
The secretary asks for $7,630000
for provisions for the navy, which
is an increase of s16S,299 over the
appropriation for the current year.
Provisions for the marine corps are
estimated at $4,000, an increase Of
s96,457.
As the first years appropriations
for new vessels which the secretary
recommends, he names $4,000 900 as
necessary for construction and ma
chinery, and $6,75O,42S for armor and
armament, which is s3,494,194 less
than appropriated for the new build
ing program this year In addition,
he recommends s10,453,619 for the
continuation OF work on vessels now
under construction which is S6,9S2 105
less than the amount appropriated
for a similar purpose this year.
The total amount which will be
submitted to congress for the navy
department under the naval, legisla-
tive and sundry civil bills for next
year will be s127,O67 329, as compar-
ed with s132,37S,9S0 for this year-a
decrease OF s5,311,65

A ST. JOSEPH WIDOW HAD HER
HUSBANDS BODY EXUM-
ED.
A CHANCE FOR PROSECUTION
Andrew Walker Committed Suicide
Because His Wife Left Him and
Her Ornaments Were Buried With
Him-Didn't Attend the Funeral.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Dec 5.-It is eX-
pected that the prosecuting attor-
neys office will Monday issue war
rants for persons connected with the
opening of the grave of Andrew Walk
er, a young clerk who committed sui
eide here October 8 because of do
nestle trouble.
The night before Walker shot him
self his wife left him and went to
the home of her father, j. w. Gre
CORY, a railroad man, where Walker
was denied admittance. The next
morning, after placing his wife's
rings on his fingers and saying that
If she ever got them again they
would have to be taken from his
body, he fired a bullet through his
heart in the presence of his mother.
When Walkers sister saw the wild
ow wearing the rings a few days ago
that were buried with him an investi-
cation was made, and it was found
that Walkers grave had been open
ed. His mother notified the prose
cutting attorney. The sexton of the
cemetery admits, that he opened the
grave upon orders from the widow
of the suicide and her mother, but
says the coffin was opened and the
rings removed from the body by an
undertaken. This the undertaken ad-
mits.
The question of prosecution now
hinges upon the rights of the widow
and whether or not the body of Walk
er was mutilated In removing the
rings. The body probably will be ex-
humed again for examination. 1t is
not denied that the rings were the
property of the widow, but it is es-
tablished that the grave is owned by
the dead mans mother. If the body
was mutilated, according to the pros
ecutor, there is no question that an
offense against the law was commit
ted.
The family of the suicide has been
I very bitter against his widow be-
cause she did not attend his funeral
They say she was kept in ignorance
of his death by her parents until
after burial. She publicly denies this.
She says she was too i'll to go to the
funeral, but might not have gone if
she had been well. The widow, who
is beautiful young woman, is now
employed as clerk in local depart
ment store.

A GAMBLE IN WHEAT.
Western Kansas Farmers Have Dou-
bled Their Area.

Oberlin, Kan, Dec. 5.-Perhaps
never before has western Kansas
been so completely seeded to wheat
as at this time. Men who ordinarily
SOW enc hundred acres practically
have doubled the acreage for this
year, and this is true in the same
ratio for those who have in the past
had large fields.
Last year S. d. Berry had out three
hundred acres. This year he has six
hundred. Jasper Mines last year had
about four hundred and this year
has nine hundred.
The crop last season was light
and from the experience of the past
}the farmers figure that next year,
there never having been three short
crops in succession, will be a bumper
crop. The wheat appears good. That
sown early is up, aud much of 1t
spreading we'll over the ground Some
which was sown late, is not up, but
is in no danger as it lies in a dust
mulch and has not even sprouted
There have been reports sent out
that much wheat has been injured
and some of it dead. A careful in
quiry among farmers from all parts
of the county develops that none of
those questioned have or know of
any wheat that is dead or seriously
injured.

A Prison Congress Delegate Discuss
es the Industrial Side Of the
Prison Question


One OF the biggest questions 70
come before the international Prison
Congress" said Mr.. ]. Lebovitz, Del
egate from the National Committee
on Prison Labor, sis the prison labor
problem. #s
For the last one hundred years
there has been steady and bitter
fight between the workingmen in
prison and the Workingmen outside
of prison.
Very few people realize how big
an Industrial army is coOped up in
our prisons The average penal
population is over 100000 able
bodied men. Most of them are not
dangerous criminals at all. but simp-
~ ordinary workingmen who happen
ed to trip for the first time.
"Once behind the bars they have
to be put to work otherwise, if left
to brood alone in their cells, they go
mad. So it happens that most Of
our prisons are really big factory
villages; il you were to enter an av-
erage prison shop, especially in
States where the convicts are allow
ed to wear blue jean uniform and
leave their hair grow, you would
find it very sdificult, if it were not for
the presence Of the guard with his
loaded cane or rifle, to believe that
you were not in an ordinary factory.
SIN these prison factories, often
controlled by contractors, they turn
out millions of articles of every de-
scription-shoe shirts, roveralls,
carpets, rugs, mattings, chairs,

system, that is, the employment of
convicts in the manufacture or artic-
les needed by the state for use In its
own institutions. such as uniforms
for inmates of its asylunls, furniture
for its offices, brooms for the street
cleaning department Of its cities, etc.
In this way the goods made in Sing
Sing, Auburn and the other state
prisons do not compete with other
goods and, besides, cost the state so
much cheaper than goods bought in
the open market would cost. But
this has only half solved the prob
lem. New York has succeeded in
protecting its own manufacturers
and workingmen against its own
prisons; but it has not succeeded in
keeping out prison-made goods from
other states, which are dumped here
in vast quantities and make mischief
in half dozen important industries.
eBut other states haven't even
solved the first half Of the problem
yet. There is scarcely a session of
one of our state legislatures outside
of New York at which this question
does not come up in some tyexing
form or other. Recently, however,
"a National COMMITTEE on Prison Lab
or has been incorporated under the
laws Of the State of New York with
the object of studying this question
from every. standpoint, and formu-
1ating some remedy which shall be-
just to all parties concerned, the
state, the convict. the conyict's fam
lily. the manufacturer, and the free
laborer. The membership of this
committee includes such men as
Commissioner of Labor Charles P.
Neill, of the Federal Bureau Of Lab
or: Commissioner John Williams, of
the New York Department Of Labor;
Mr.. John Mitchell. of the American
Federation of Labor; Prof. Charles
R. Henderson, President of the COM
ing International Prison Congress-;
Homer Folkes, President of the Nat
ional Conference of Charities and
Corrections; Mrs. Ballington Booth,
of the Volunteers aof America; Miss
Helen V. Boswell, Chairman of the
Industrial Committee of the General
declarations of Women's, Clubs, who
was chiefly Instrumental in the
organization of the committee, and
many other representative social
workers.
''The chairman, Rev. Thomas r.
Slicer, and two other members of the
committee, Commissioner of Labor
Williams, and Judge Baldwin, of
Washington, have spent the summer
studying the convict labor system of
Europe and are expected back in
time to participate in the sessions Of

(From a Correspondent

London, October 70; 1910.
The Miners Federation of Great
Britain which practically works now
as a consolidated single union pass
ed number of important resolutions
at its recent convention. Besides
dealing with the broader questions
of more effective inspection of mines
by working-men mining inspectors,
it also determined to secure increas-
ed payment for long distance trav-
cling under ground where no pay
sment issmade at present, It was al
so resolved that the basis Of the In
ternational Miners Unions of Europe
should be broadened so that the in,
ternational committee might }be able
to deal at once with national strikes
and threatened international war in
such a way as to prevent the latter
and make the former successful. The
miners also want the appointment
of Minister of Labor in this coun-
try. Universal weekly wages are
asked for also. Many miners in this
country are only paid fortnightly or
once a month. {,
The question of the proper hous-
ing of miners was also raised. In
many parts of this country miners
quarters are nothing but death traps
to the users. In one town the rate
of infantile mortality in the mining
quarter is 212 per thousand which
is more than four times the mortal

following as description Of what
happened when the miner got home
from work, tired, dirty and hungry:
