from his former official conduct"
After further giving his opinion of
the ex-president as public man the
governor concludes:
with these views l can not in JUS
tice to the good people of Arkansas
nor to myself, even in a small way, put
myself in position of approving
either Colonel Roosevelt or his poll
cies, as l believe them to be. There
is always a possibility of mistaken
judgment in every human being, and
If later developments -fove that l do
now misjudge Colonel Roosevelt l
shall certainly concede my error, but
until l have reached other conclusions
would not stand upon platform
with Colonel Roosevelt in the pres
enee of the good people of Arkansas
If l am required in so doing to as
sumo an attitude of approval of either
Colonel Roosevelt's official miscon-
duct of the past or his attempt to de-
ceive the people in the present"

THE BoRSTAL SYSTEM.
BY James S. Gibbons, President OF
the Irish Prison System.

The Borstal system of treating Grim.
inals between the ages of 16 and 21-
so named because first used in the
English prison of Borstal-was intro
duced into Ireland in 1906, certain
prisons having been set apart and ar
ranged for youthful criminals. This
system is not intended for first Of
tenders, but for those below 21 who
have shown that they are specially de.
PRAYED. The law permits taking prop
er subjects for this treatment from
other prisons and placing them at
Clonmel The Imprisonment may not
be less than one nor more than three
years, but the prisoner may be held
till he is %. The inmates of the Bor-
stall institutions are subject to gen
eral prison regulations, except where
specially modified, the rules being a
little less rigorous. The inmates are
taught trades. They work together;
they have physical exercise and take
walks. They have a well-selected
library; they can write letters and re-
ceive frequent visits; they have bet
ter food and may earn more gratifica-
tions than the ordinary prisoner. When
they reach the grade called special
they receive small sum of money
which they may expend for food or
send to their friends. They have some
social life in a recreation hall Their
lcells are better furnished and they
may be liberated, by special favor,
latter six months detention. A "Bor.
stal association" or society to aid
prisoners, helps them to return to life
outside under good influences. 1t
looks after their earnings and sees
that they are used properly.

MAN FOUND SERIOUSLY ILL
DIES At COUNTY JAIL

John Coyne, who was found i'll, near
the Green hotel late yesterday and
taken to the county jail, died last
night after an illness of several hours.
The cause of the death was appar-
emily a kind of cholera morbus, result
ing, according to the statement of
Coyne, before his death, from eating
a lot of green apples. Coyne had no
money and said he had become so
hungry that he had eaten number of
apples from an orchard near town
and that they had made him sick. He
has no relatives in this country ex-
cept an uncle in Idaho. The remains
probably will be buried in the Potter's
field.

NO PROSECUTIONS UNDER
CORPORATION TAX LAW YET

Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 1.-There will
be no prosecutions by the state cor
poration commission against the 5000
corporations operating in this state,
until it is certain the concerns are
deliberately trying to evade the pay
ment of the capital stock license tax,
which amounts to soc per $1,000 an
nually for domestic concerns and 81
per 80 for foreign.
The sixty days grace allowed by the
corporation commission in which to
pay the tax expired today and less
than one-third of the corporations had
paid. 1t is generally believed another
extension will be granted. If the tax
is not paid the penalty is forfeiture
of charter.

BODIES Of VICTIMS
CANNOT Be FOUND
Seventeen Men Now Under Arrest on
Suspicion of Participating in
Placing of Bomb.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. Sit is
doubtful if the bodies of the victims
of the explosion Saturday in the Times
building will be recovered. 1t is be-
lieved they were consumed by the
flames.
The police believe that the five
men seen about the premises, were
directly concerned in the placing of
the bomb that wrecked the building
and in constructing the time bomb,
found under the Zeehandelaar home
and the internal machine, found at the
residence OF General Otis.
To assist in running down the
dynamiters, the city council today au-
thorized the appointment of forty ad-
ditional policemen, ten sergeants and
la lieutenant. The reward probably
will be ten thousand dollars for each
of the dynamiters.
Seventeen men are now in the city
Jail, suspected of having part in the
crime.
The best clew so far came from the
giant power company in San Francisco
saying that three men recently pur.
chased there five hundred pounds OF
explosive, similar to that found in the
internal machine at the zeehandelaar
home.

REFORMERS HAVE
COMMON PURPOSE
Prof. Henderson Sounds Keynote in
international Prison Congress in
Sunday Afternoon Address.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, d. c., Oct. S.-The key
note of the eighth International Prison
Congress was struck Sunday after
noon by Professor Charles r. Hender-
son, professor of sociology of the uni
yersity of Chicago, who is the presi-
dent of the congress.
After welcoming the delegates from
nearly fifty different governments of
the earth, Professor Henderson spoke
in part as follows
The prison congress agrees on the
following things: We believe that chill
dren should never be sent to prison
with adults; that the ancient penal
procedure should be fundamentally
modified In their case; that young
delinquents should receive a certain
amount of education under the pater-
nal supervision of the Judge or of a
special magistrate. 1t is a question
with MS still whether this education
should continue until the sixteenth,
eighteenth or even the twentytfirst
year.
Secondly, we are in accord in the
belief that the insane should be ex-
cluded from prisons and that they
should be confined to hospitals. Public
security and the interests of the in
sane themselves demand the segrega
tion of the insane under medical spe
cialists.
Thirdly, we believe, moreover, that
there are many young delinquentS
and even adults who are guilty of hay
ing yielded to bad examples. Such
individuals are not Intentionally vic
ious They should be spared the
stigma of becoming criminals by being
saved the moral injury of incarcera
ton by suspension of sentence with
a period of freedom under supervision
We are also in accord in recommend
ing after a certain period Of incarcera
tion the release of young or adult
prisoners on provision that their lib
erty shall be conditional and carefully
supervised 1t is not possible to make
useful citizens in absolute slavery,
I'VE believe. moreover, in the neces
sity of doing away with the short sen
tence in the case of guilty persons
who are dangerous, whether they be
yagabonds or inebriates, hardened
criminals or professional criminals
The period of detention and of super
vision may be extended either by q
supplementary sentence or by placing
the offender at the disposition of the
government
I'VE urge Furthermore the union oi
all Investigators and reformers.

BEAU bRUMMEL
OF SCHENECTADY
IN TROUBLE HERE
Ernest James Henry Caldwell
Held in $1,000 Bail as
Fugitive.

Ernest James Henry Caldwell, des-
eribed in the papers of Schenectady,
y. Y. as the Beau Brummel of the
town." daintily stepped to the front as
his string of names were called in the
First Precinct Court this morning.
Judge Hahn smiled a welcome as James
Henry laid a beautifully chamois-
gloved hand on the rail in front of him
and ccurteoZsly informed him chat he
would be held in $4,000 bail as a fugitive
from justice, on information from the
police of Schenectady.
Information received by the police is
to the effect that the Beau Bruinmel'
was in the program advertising BUSH
ness at Schenectady and became as
sociated with John II. McGrath, of
Troy, \. Y, for whom he collected Ger
tain sums of money. Mr.. McGrath died,
and when his executors asked Mr.. Cald-
we'll for the money he had collected Mr..
Caldwell said he had none, and when a
warrant WAS issued for him he disap-
peared.
Detectives Mcconnell and Harris. of
Chief Corbett's staff, were told that he
was invited to be present at certain
legal functions, and finding him here
placed him under arrest. He Is about
forty years of 6 dresses in the height
o. fashion and makes a very natty ap-
pearance. He is known chiefly by a
~boutonnier of violets and the destangue
clothing which ne wears.
On leaving Schenectady he was in a
hurry, and pawned all his jewelry, of
which he usually Wore a fine assert
lnent, and the police found in his
pockets tickets for these articles of
adornment. They also found a letter
full of terms of endearment, signed by
Your Little Dutch Girl, NJ. r.. W."
The Little Dutch Girl is said to be
a widow who runs a boarding house in
schenectady, n in her letter she
begged and pleaded with him not to
drink while in Newark and allowed
love to be the principal theme upon
which her nine pages of letter were
based, but there were other things in
the document which interested the
police.
She wrote that she had deposited
money to his account in a bank under
the name which he was to assume, and
which was found registered at a local
hotel. She asked him not to apply fos
any more money from her. but said
that she would sell all her furniture for
him. She would wen forego the de-
lights of a new dress upon which she
had paid a deposit. She warned him
not to &c to New York, as the police
there were looking for hin and ex-
pected his arrival at any time. De-
tectives. she said, had come to her and
tried TO find him through her, but she
said she had eluded them all. and they
were ANNOYED, One Doiiceman. who was
jealous of him, ever stopped her OF

around the city.
Finally she laid plans to sell all her
belongings n pack her suitcase with
