Veteran Member of the BaSti|e

When Earl Huntington leaves the

have served sixty-five days. only five
of which was he permitted the usual
liberties in the rear of Sheriff Mere

have much different opinion of the
institution when he leaves it this
time, for in all of his previous history
as a Jail bird, he has always been al
lowed the freedom of the four walls of
the institution and occasionally been
permitted to go into the yard.
In placing him in solitary confine-
ment soon after his admission. on De
cember 23, it was done as a means of
punishment for one of his practical
jokes and not punishment. for the Of
fense of being a habitual drunkard, on

Earl has served SO many days in Jail
that it would take mathematician to
figure out just the exact number. 1t
is probable that even he could not an
swer the question off hand. However,
his experience with the Jail is such that
he is familiar with every nook and
Granny of it and he could probably de-
scribe it better than any other single
individual
1t was because of this knowledge
that Huntington played the practical
joke, which brought down trouble on
his head. One of the policemen went
to the county Jail late in December
with prisoner and securing the keys
to the place from one Of the members
of Mr.. Merediths family entered the
Jail. 1t was necessary that he should
take his ward into one of the private
cells. The jail proper is divided into
three sections, and it is in one Of
these that the prisoners spend their
spare time during the day, playing
cards and talking. In this apartment
is also located the lever which locks
the cell doors.

some of the pleasures of solitary con-

the doors and taunted the policeman

times. with such expressions as

1t is said that the patrolman was
nearly blind with rage. In any event
he spent some time in the Jail before
some one secured keys and was able
to release him. Matters were not ex-
planned to Huntington, but he has
been spending his time all alone ever
since. His meals are carried to him,
and about the only conversation which
he may hold with the other inmates,
is by yelling at the top of his voice.

erably under what he terms the abuse
of some OF his privileges. Huntington

(American News Service)

London, Feb. 11.-COnfuSiOn is the
keynote of the British political situa-
tiOn today. With the Irish clamOring
for home rule, and threatening break
in the government block if they are not
needed, and with the laborftes menac-
ing immediate war on the house of
lords. the liberal leaders are struggling
to whip a definite and effective policy
out of the chaos. The cabinet met
again today. to continue yesterdays
discussion and outline the terms of
the kings speech to be delivered at the
opening of the new parliament, ten
days off.
Watching the Cabinet.
There was no diminution today in
the popular interest in the doings of
the cabinet When the ministers assem-
bled at the prime minister's official
residence in Downing street, thousands
thrOnged the adjacent thorOughfares.
There was little in the way of a dem
onstration, however.
All of the members of the cabinet ap-
peared fatigued at the strain which has
been kept up since the introduction of
the budget bill in the last parliament,
shows no sign of relaxing. 1t is a
group of tired men in whose hands lies
the immediate course of Englands his
tory.
Conference is Deferred.
The conference between Premier
Asquith and the king, expected yes
terday. has ben deferred till tomorrow.
BY then the liberal government hopes
to have its plans as we'll in hand as it
can without definite knowledge of the
situation in parliament. That can
not be obtained till the eve OF the
first session. at the earliest.
The belief that the government will
push the budget to the attention of the
commons and the house of lords be-
fore attempting to curb the veto pow
er of the hereditary body became firm
er today, although there was no def
mite news when the cabinet assem-
bled. The policies to be followed by
the ministry have been kept secret
with the utmost care.
Matter Of Precedence.
II Is SdlQ, however, mercy q HldIteT
of the precedence of the two issues
that now hold the attention of Great
Britain with the great mercantile
world and the business of the govern
ment as we'll, call for an immediate
solution of the financial problem. 1t
is asserted by those in the favor of
the government leaders that this mat
ter will be attended to first though
Asquith risks a break with the Lab
orites" and the Irish Nationalists.
The extremes to which the war on
the lords will be carried have not yet
been decided fully. There seems to
be little prospect, however. Of a de-
mand for the abolition Of the upper
house and the curbing of its powers
perhaps to the point OF making its
existence a joke-will probably be as
far as the lords opponents will at
tempt to go at the present time.
