Says Jail Inmates, in the
First Place, Won't Work
and Secondly, Army Would
Have to Be on Guard.
USE PRISONERS IN
COUNTY, HE ADVISES
Doc Is Also Fearful if Pris-
oners Were Used on the
Streets He Might Have
Some Tools Stolen.

when the sheriff comes up with his
bunch of drunks from the Jail. I'll tell
him to take 'em back" derisively
spoke Street Commissioner D. c. Gem
this morning, when asked his views
on working the county Jail prisoners
on the city streets. why those fell
lows couldn't do forty cents worth of
work in a week"
Gem continued that it would take a
number of guards for the prisoners
and that the guards would do more
work than the prisoners.
Use Them in County.
The only thing to do to make the
prisoners work according to the street
commissioner, is to put them on the
county roads. He stated that all the
highways of the county were badly
ditched and that in heavy rains the
water comes over the roads He sug.
gests that a good road engineer be
employed and that the county prison
ers be put to work ditching the coun.
ty roads.
Gem thinks the idea of cleaning
the streets and alleys by using prison.
ers is anything but practical. He says
that in case OF a heavy snow it might
be feasible to work the prisoners in
big gangs, with two guards.
There's no use trying" said Genn
you can't get any work out of that
bunch of men. I used to haul stone
down there for the prisoners to crack
but the entire lot of them couldn't
crack a wagon load in week. That
is, they never did"
"If I had those prisoners working
for me" said Gem. "Pd say, Here
you, go down there and dig in that
ditch. / don't care whether you're
here when l come back or not, but
leave the tools I mustn't have my
tools stolen"

DOCTOR JONES MAY
SECURE HIS BOOZE
Court Rules Druggist Is En-
titled to Liquor Seized
During a Raid.

DR.. A. L. Jones, the Whitewater
druggist and physician whose drug
store was raided in the summer of
1908 by the Richmond police, who
seized large quantity of beer. whis-
key and wine found there, may have
what is left of the liquor if he will
call at the court house and make a
demand. Judge Fox OF the circuit
court made the ruling on Wednesday
after Sheriff Meredith had asked that
some disposal be made of the intoxi-
cants before his term of Office ex-
pires.
Twice juries disagreed in the pros
ecution of DR.. Jones on a charge OF
operating a blind tiger in Whitewater.
AS result of these two trials the at
torneys for the state threw up their
hands and said il was impossible to
convict anyone under the blind tiger
statutes in Wayne county The charge
against Jones was then dismissed.
The druggist did not return to his
home with the liquor. He demanded
that Wayne county send IT back at it's
expense The county refused, con-
sequently the liquor remained in the
storage room at the court house build
ing. DR.. Jones win be notified by
Meredith of the courts ruling.
If Jones refuses to come after the L.
quor or TO dispose of it to a wholesale
or retail dealer the county may then
take the initiative

hundred coal miners were entombed
today in the Hutton colliery by a ter
rife explosion. ~..--
Five hours after the disaster oc-
Cured only one of those entombed
had escaped He was a pit boy and
he declared that the disaster would
cost the life of every man working in
the shaft.
The mine caught fire from the ex.
plosion and great gusts of black
smoke rolled from the mouth of the
shaft, driving back the rescue parties.
The shock of the explosion was
felt for miles around and the families
of the imprisoned men crowded about
the shaft screaming and trying to en-
ter.
AS the body of one dead man was
brought out there was a rush to iden-
tify the blackened remains.
Gusts of deadly firedamp which fill
ed the pit drove back the rescuing
parties.
The clothing Of the rescuers was
burned off and some Of them emerg-
ed minus hair and eyebrows.
Great throngs crowded about the
shaft begging to be allowed to take
part in the rescue work. They were
mostly relatives of entombed men and
the county officers who were strung
about the pit were compelled to fight
them back

A CONTEST OVER
MRS. EODY'S BODY
Family Wants Body Placed
in the Burial Ground,
at Tilton, Conn.
american News Service)

Washington, Dec. 21.-A determined
effort to have the body of Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy. the late head of the
Christian Science church inferred in
the family burial grounds at Tilton.
Conn, is to be made by Mrs. Eddy's
son and fosterson, George Washing
ton Glover, and DR.. Z. S. Foster, ac-
cording to former Senator William A.
Chandler of New Hampshire, attorney
for the Eddy heirs.
Her relatives expect a legal fight
with the authorities of the Christian
Science church, because of their an
nounced intention of burying Mrs. Ed
dy in Mount Auburn cemetery. Bos-
ton.
The only thing which will deter the
Eddy heirs in forcing the burial of
Mrs. Eddy at Tilton will be the dis
covery Of formal request on her part
that she be buried elsewhere. Unless
such a request is found the heirs will
exercise their power as relatives.
Senator Chandler has received a
copy of Mrs. Eddy's will, and is now
carefully examining it. 1t will not be
expected until January II. He said
today that he has heard of no clause
in the will mentioning a burial place,
nor of any written mention of the
matter.
The body of the former head of the
Christian Scientists will remain in its
present resting place in the receiving
vault in Mount Auburn cemetery until
spring. says Senator Chandler. and
then it will be moved. Senator Chand-
Ter stated that no fight over Mrs. Ed
dy's last testament will be made by
her heirs, unless some flaw is found
in the document.

CAUGHT IN PRESS
HAND PULLED OFF
Terrible Accident Befalls
Fred White in the Pal
ladium Press Room.

Tuesday evening about sos o'clock
when the sleeve of his Jumper"
caught between the swiftly revolving
cylinders Of the press, pulling OFF his
hand and arm. Fred White, an as
sistant pressman and stereotyper for
the Palladium, saved his entire arm
and perhaps his life by literally, pull
ing off his hand at the wrist. He had
attempted to remove faulty papers
from the cylinders which were rapid
ly clogging up the press. Although
suffering the most excruciating pain,
tho young man was the most COM
posed Of all in the press room and di-
rected operations in stopping the
press. which was promptly shut off.
Pressmen always work about the
big machine with barred arms. White
had on Jumper" and just before the
accident occurred Head Pressman
Lacey warned him not to put his
hand into the machine after papers as
a cylinder might catch onto his sleeve.
After the accident the nervy lad calm
ly watched as towel was wrapped
about his MANNED arm to prevent him
bleeding to death.
Several physicians were called to
the Office and gave White what relief
was possible while awaiting the am
bulance. He was then removed to
Reid Memorial hospital where his in
juries were dressed and his arm am
putated above the elbow. On
Wednesday he was reported as rest
ing as easily as could be expected and
it was thought there was no danger Of
complications setting in, making the
wound more serious.
White is about eighteen years old,
and for the past year has been assist
ing in the press department whenever
called upon. His sole ambition SEEM
ed to be to obtain regular employment
in the department, the work of which
he was rapidly learning and becoming
an expert at. While the physicians
were dressing the wound he expressed
regret that the accident would pre-
vent him from realizing this ambition.

MUST PAY PENALTY
Fight Of a Condemned Man
Is Ended.
(American News Service)


Oakland. Cal, Dec. 21.-One of the
longest legal fights ever waged in
California by convicted murderer to
escape the penalty for ihs crime has
ended here with the re-sentencing of
Mark A. Wilkins to be hanged in Feb
rurary next. Wilkins's crime was the
murder of Vernie Carmin. a woman
who lived with him as his wife, in
November. 1907. The woman died
from poison. The crime was COM
mitted ina little cottage in Elmhurtst
near here, where the couple lived. AT
ter committing the murder Wilkins
buried his victim in quick lime in
the yard back of the house.
wilkins was tried in the early part
of 1908. He was quickly convicted
and sentenced to be executed in No
vember of that year. Then began a
legal battle that has established a
record for longevity in the criminal
records of this State. Though reput-
ed to be a burglar by profession and
having a long prison record, Wilkins
is well educated and is said to have
come of well-to-do family. Every
step known to the law was employed
in the fight to save him from the gal
lows. The case was carried to the
highest courts, but without avail The
highest tribunal reaffirmed the judg-
ment Of the trial court, and after a
legal battle lasting three years there
now appears no legal means for the
condemned murderer to escape the
death penalty.
