ment in such cases than commit
tai for 10 or II days"
Next year Mr.. Churchill will in
troduce bill to provide exercises
and drills. instead of imprison-
ment, for offenders between 16
and II who are rowdy, play pitch
and-toss, break lamp glasses,
gamble and swear. These UNI
necessary commitments fall on the
sons of the working classes" he
said. The sons of other classes
commit many of the same offenses
without being punished. They, in
the days of boisterous and ex-
|uberant spirits. whether as Ok
ford or Cambridge, do scores of
things for which the sons of the
working classes are committed to
prison. This would save 5000 lads
annually from knowing the shame
full degradation of jail"
Because of the spread of educa-
tion, Mr.. Churchill believes it is
as wrong nowadays to deprive
prisoners of intellectual food, as
it would be to deprive them of
their beans. He has secured
money to provide for four lectures
or concerts each year in every
prison.
He has secured yearly appro-
pfiation of 1900 pounds to estab-
lfHfE system to give ex-convicts
asfespectable position in society
m the future the police will not
watch ex-convicts on parole. They
will be supervised by a semi-of-
ficial central agency, half of the
members representing the author
tiles and half representing the
different prisoners aid societies.

Desperate" they call him. He
goes up 80 feet, dives to the
ground, strikes on his chest on an
Moltned plank which is curved so
It shoots him off at am angle and
he drops gracefully into the arms
of attendants. ALL he wears is a
woollen sweater to slide smoothly
on the hard oak plank.
The hand side of a plank would

LONDON, England, Aug. 10
The woman suffrage bill lies mol
dering in parliament committee,
but its soul goes marching on.
The suffragets went to Jail
rather than quit agitating the
women's revolt. They drew the
eyt of Great Britain to mans in
humanity to man in the prisons.
The government has not grant
| ed woman suffrage-yet-but the
government will reform the pris-
IONS. Winston Churchill, the bril-
liant young home secretary, has
set about making the prisons
places where men are redeemed
instead of made criminals.
Prisoners not guilty of any Of
Tense involving moral turpitude
will be imprisoned just the same,
lbut henceforth they won't have to
wear prison clothes, won't be
regular prison bath, won't have to
have their hair cut and shaved.
won't have to clean their cells;
they may receive food from the
outside, they may take exercise in
their cells, they may chat with
other prisoners, they may read
books they provide at their own
expense Except books on current
events.)
The suffragisUs will get the
benefit of this, and the last pro-
vision was made with only them
In mind. Mr.. Churchill is ready
to be gentlemanly but not quite
ready to let them read books with
which they can convert themselves
to stronger belief in the suffrage
propaganda which landed them in
Jail.
Mr.. Churchill will introduce a
bill in parliament this fall to al
low a period of grace for persons
with fixed residence to pay fines
instead of going to prison at once
If they cannot pay them, as now.
"The first principle to guide us
is to prevent as many people as
possible getting to prison at all, ="
said Mr.. Churchill. "There is an
injury to individual and loss to
the state whenever a person is
committed to prison for the FIRST
time.
Last year 10000 persons were
imprisoned in default of the pay
ment of fines, the greater proper
ton of whom might have paid
had sufficient time been allowed.
What an injurious operation!
The state loses its fines. The man
goes to prison, perhaps for the
first time. He is taken off in
Black Maria (prison wagon 4,
bathed, measured, photographed,
fingerprints taken, and the state
has to pay for it all.
more than half the persons
committed to prison in default of
paying the fine are convicted of
drunkenness. The enforcement of
a fine is a much better punish

Lewis claims for the Miners Union
a membership of more than 300, 900
in the organized fields and that they
can control 100000 mem in the unor-
ganized fields. He has stated that in
the event of strike he can "tie up
every mine in the country tighter
than a drum"
This is denied by the nonunion oper
ators, particularly those of West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky, who declare that
they will continue to work.
The continued industrial activity Of
the country would depend on the non
union miners making good that asser-
ton, after a twenty or thirty-day
suspension. 1t is estimated that the
coal now stored cannot last more than
thirty days, under a suspension Of
mining, and that long only by the
most economical use.

POSSIBLY MILLIONS FOR

Discovery That National Gov
eminent is Indebted to Old
Virginia.

Truly, it Is the i'll wind that blows
no one good, and it is a possibility
the little difficulty that has been en-
gaging the attention of Virginia and
West Virginia, in getting their finan-
cial matters adjusted may result In
Kentucky becoming a beneficiary in
large amount of money which 1t is
now alleged is due the old state of
Virginia from the national givern-
ment, upon the terms of the session
of the old state to the government
of the great domain lying north west
of the hio river known at the time
as the Northwest Territory"
j. B. Finley, member of the State
Board of Regents, of West Virginia,
has forwarded a statement Of the af-
fair to the governor of that state, set
ting forth the compact between the
old state and the national government
concerning the transfer of the terri
tory, in which 1t is shown that the lat
ter never complied with the conditions
of the agreement mad that an enforce
ment of the contract at this late date
would bring into the state treasury
several million dollars. 1t Is claimed
that both Kentucky and West vir-
ginia will come in for share of the
money, and 1t is said that the amount
to be received by the latter may be
about sufficient to square herself with
the mother state, should judgement
be granted her by the court.
The affair will be we'll worth the
looking after by the Kentucky au-
thorities, as it would mean several
millions to the commonwealth, should
the claim be allowed.

H. B. Bennett Tells Story of
Night Rider Raid.
Forced to Walk Barefooted Over
Frozen Ground-Dramatic
Scene in Court.

Marion, Ky, March 2S.-The first
of so-called night rider cases, the Com
monwealth against Tom Jones, is on
trial. There are now over eighty
cases on the docket, which have been
continued from time to time for the
last two years. Jones is charged with
being member of the raides that OH
the night OF Feb. 4th, 1908, whipped
H. B. Bennett and w. NJ. Graves at
Dycusburg, KY, and burned their to-
bacco factories.
Only a short time was taken 10 Sc
lect jury this afternoon of represent
tative men of Crittenden county TO
try Jones. Bennett and Graves were
the first witnesses, and their tes.i-
mony was extremely sensational. Ben
nett alleged that the night riders took
him from his home when he was nurs
ing his child, who he thought was dy-
ing. He declared that they stripped
him of all his clothing but his trous-
ers and undershirt, and while they
were doing so he begged them to al
low him 10 put on his socks thai h.
might walk over the frozen ground.
He alleged they said: D your
socks"
Bennett also alleged that more than
seventy thorns were taken from his
body after the whipping, some of them
even a month afterward. He also de-
clared that his face was beaten into
jelly and great Jumps raised on his
head and neck.
A dramatic scene occurred in the
courtroom when Bennett was reciting
the part from the side of his dying
child. He broke down and wept for
several minutes before he could Resume
his testimony.
When asked by Prosecuting Attor-
ney John T. Grayot if he was sure
that Tom Jones, The man on Jrialwa
the person who dragged him from his
home, Bennett replied:
Yes, l am sure he is the man, but
he treated me better than any other
man in the crowd, for he said 10 the
others, Men, for Gods sake do not
beaI the man SO numerically
There are no extra guards, no SOL
diers, no excitement and nothing call

er the witness or the jury. Judge
Gordon and the attorneys on both
sides are handling the trial in d busi-
nessllke way. The first case will prob
ably be in the hands Of the jury by
Wednesday night.
A number of women will testify for
the Commonwealth. The veidence To
be brought out in the testimony OF
these women, it is said will be sensa-
tional.
The bunch OF thorn switches was
brought into court and identified by
Mr.. Bennett positively. The courtroom
was crowded with an eager, listening
throng, who seemed amazed at the
testimony Of the two leading witnesses
in their recital of the injuries they
received.
