PARRISH Behind
PRISON WALLS
Occupies a Cell in Peniten-
tiary at Eddyville.
Is Accompanied by His Wife and
Adopted Son---Last Chapter
In Gigantic Failure.

Eddyville, Ky. Feb. 9.-Tonight
James II. Parrish, at one time the al
legged Napoleon OF Flnnace Of West
ern Kentucky. occupies a cell in the
state penitentiary at this place. He
was tired and weary after his long
trip from the Hawesville Jail, where
he had been confined for che past
ten months, and sought his little
iron bed for rest early tonight. He
appeared to be sleeping soundly
when the guard made his firsc round
of the panitentiary corridors.
When the heavy iron doors Of the
penitentiary were closed on the for
mer president of the dfunct Owens
boro Savings Bank and Trust COM
pany, late this afternoon, the final
chapter had been written in one OF
the most giganOc cases of bank
wrecking in the history of kentucky.
He WAS sentenced for a term of five
years, but will De allowed three
months off each year for good be-
havior.
From the time that the bank
closed in April, 1908. until few
days ago. Parrish has declared that
a Divine Providence would intervene
and that he would never be snat tn
the penitentiary. When the court
of appeals affirmed the verdict of the
Hancock county jury in sentencing
him 60 five years in the pen!tentiaTy
on the charge of receiving deposits
when he knew his bank u ba insOlv-
ent, he did not give up hope, but had
his attorneys file motion for u re-
hearing. When this mo.ion was
overruled he wanted to take his case
TO the federal courts, but hiI attor-
neys could find no grounds upon
which such action could be taken.
Parrish, accompanied by his wife
and adopted son, Phillip Hale Par
IRISH, and Mrs. Parrlsh's brother.
Henry Norman, of OwsnebolO, ar
rived at Eddyville at 3 o'clock This
afternoon. Sheriff Brown allowed
Mr.. Parrish 20 accompany his wife
10 the hotel. whore they spent about
an hour.
The prisoner was brought 10 the
penitnetiary about 4 o'cl ok this AFT
ernoon. He said good bye TO his
wife and adopted son in the office of
the ponitertiary and was lohen turn
ed over 10 the guards Parrish WAS
taken into the cell house and strip
ped of all his clothes. He was given
a bath and a shave. His head was
not shaver his hair living been cut
rather close before he left Halves
vile. He was next given suit of
stripes, which he donned. He was as
signed to a cell by himself. .....
In the morning Warden IIagor-
man will send the former bank to
the shoe factory where he will be as
signed 10 work II is not known
what position he will be given. II
has been said he may be made the
shipping clerk.
There are $50 prisoners in the Ed
dyville penitentiary, nearly all If
them being from Western Kentucky.
Mrs. Parrish will take up hcr resi-
dsnce in Eddyville SO as ITO be near
her husband. She will be allowed
to visit him every Sunday and oftener

HEARING DRAWS TO CLOSE

COEUR D'ALENE.-The efforts of
the government to prove that GAO
acres on which the Washington Water
Power Company was given an ease
ment for $l25 an acre is susceptible
of drainage and therefore valuable for
farming came to an end when Engi-
heer Walter II. Graves Of Portland
concluded his testimony.
During the hearing he presented in
detail plans for dyking, ditching and
draining the lands now submerged by
permission of the secretary of the
interior, the cancellation of which
permit is now sought by the govern
ment
The cost of draining these lands by
the plan proposed aggregates $122,5OO
for 427O acres. His testimony has
been the most severely contested in
the hearing and is submitted in re-
buttal to the Washington Water Pow
er Company's contention that the cost
OF draining these lands is prohibitive.
In view of the approaching close OF
the hearing the grounds upon which
the Washington Water Power Com
pany was required to show cause why
its permit should not be revoked, be-
comes important in view OF the ex'
haustive testimony submitted.

BILLBOARD art"

billboard art" runs riot in Los
* Angeles. Wherever there is
~ vacant lot the billboard may be
seen, bold, boisterous and blatant. The
innocent traveller passes admiringly
through streets of lovely homes sur
rounded by beautiful gardens. No city
in the world has home gardens which
are comparable with the home gardens
of lovely Los Angeles. While the
traveller is admiring the genuine art
and exquisite good taste displayed in
many of the gardens he may suddenly
come upon a vacant lot, and there,
amid battered cans, broken glass and
old shoes, rises a tall billboard, covered
with faring, glaring advertising signs.
The ugliness Of the stark, gaunt, rude,
untidy board is only outdone by the
ugliness of the crude "art work" past
ed brazenly on its front
In Paris there is said TO be some

by originality, by boldness of design
and by novel experiments in colorings
and groupings. Such billboard art"
has the effect of a brass band playing
tuneless tunes on instruments charac-
terized by wild and free diversity of
key. Not only is it offensive to good
taste, but it has a marked effect on
the nervous system of people who are
compelled to look at it.
After all, what proceeding can be
| more impudent than to thrust unsolicit
ed wares in the face of every passerby?
City government would not tolerate
this practice on the part of peddlers.
But the billboards are louder and more
persistent than any peddler. Why
should the people of Los Angeles have
to put up with this nuisance, which
detracts from the beauty and the har-
mony of the city and irritates the SEN
sitive citizen and the stranger within
our gates?

THE DINNER PAIL

GOVERNMENT has had practical ex-
AT perience of the fact the cost of liv-
" ing in the United States has been
increased greatly since the Republican
party came into power. Amid consid-
erablel laughter from representatives
who saw the joke an additional ap-
preparation was made for army rations,
the usual allowance being insufficient
to meet the advance in prices.
In no part of the United States will
a dollar go as far as it used to go
When n provider for a family receives
about a third of what he received a
few years ago, and is required to ex-
pend for his family from 25 to so per
cent more per capita, in what kind of
a ''hole" may he be considered to have
landed? And how is he to get out of
it? What is to be the end of it?
The Republicans promised the wage
Garner of the United States "a full din
ner pail" But they have made it much
more expensive for him to fill his din
ner pail, while. unless he should enjoy
the protection of labor union, he has
less money than ever he had in his
life before. This paradoxical condition
is general throughout the United
States, although it is less keenly felt
in some places than in others.
In Los Angeles a climate superior to
that enjoyed by any other big city in
the world makes various economies
possible. For instance, coal bills are
less than they were "back east" and
there is a reduction in expenditure for
winter clothing. But when the amount
earned is reduced in proportion, so that
the employees saving on coal and on
clothing counts for nil. it is obvious
the advantage of living in Los Angeles
is not extended to salaries, but must
be sought in the compensation Of sun
shine, scenery and health.
By reason of its many advantages.
Los Angeles is suffering less from the
advance in prices than is any other
city in the United States. Undoubtedly
the lot of the Los Angeles wage Garner
is happy one compared with the lot
of the wage Garner in bleaker parts
Of the country.
