DUTY
TO THE PRISONER
Committee Emphasizes Great Need Of
Continued Supervision of Con-
victs After Release.
By Associated Press.


Washington, Sept. 30.-In the report
of the committee on discharged pris-
oners, presented last evening at the
meeting of the American Prison asso-
citation by F. A. Whittier of Red Wing,
Mimi, the committee emphasized the
great need of continued supervision
of prisoners after release from prison.
The theory of parole seems to be gain
ing favor. The public must be made
to understand that released prisoners
are to be accepted as a part of the
body polite. Society must do its part
in the rehabilitation of the prisoner.
The prisoner cannot do much alone.
Material aid in the shape of money
is not so essential to the discharged
or paroled man as ready employment
and friend. The service of the paid
state parole agent has so far been
the most effective. Work for the re-
clamation of the prisoner should be
begun while he is still in prison.
For years prison managers thought
the cheapest and easiest way of hand
ling the prisoner was to cast him
adrift, with possibly a cheap suit of
clothes and little money as a sort
of bribe to their conscience that their
full duty had been done. Was this
and is it now the cheapest way? We
think not, and viewed solely from the
standpoint of dollars and cents this
will not be profitable. Surely if any
considerable per cent can be restored
to self-sustaining citizenship by some
timely help, it will be found cheaper
than the expense of their added crime
conviction and maintenance, especial
ly when we consider the fact that
every conviction makes his restora-
tion more difficult and his almost con.
tinuous care more certain, either in
the prison from which he has been re-
leased or some other one.

Oklahoma Progressives Will
Not Support Joe McNeal

tolerably busy trying to discredit Has.
kell and Oklahoma City. John Col
obie's State Register is a free-think-
ing sheet and the Oklahoma City
Times is anything at this time that
Jim Harris wants it to be; next week
it may be in the progressive ranks.
If the silence theory is not correct,
then Jim Harris faces an immediate
crisis in his political career. If the
Roosevelt following get the necessary
inspiration from the New York vic
tory they will be organizing within a
week and the standpat congressional
nominees will be defeated with
out end. 1t would be good news for
Roosevelt that the standpatters in Ok
lahoma are defeated and that the pro-
gressives have started an organiza-
tion that means sure victory in the
next campaign.
The state is hopelessly democratic"
said Vinita insurgent, 80 far as the
state ticket is concerned. 1t would
avail US nothing to fight either for or
against McNeal He couldn't win. We
are most anxious about the congress
sional ticket, and we want Mcclure,
Morgan and Creager defeated so that
the way may be clear two years from
now for the insurgent republicans. l
predict that Roosevelt will be the
nominee for president If he is, his
popularity would almost guarantee to
us the Fourth and Fifth Oklahoma
districts also.
"McNeal is in a pretty plight. He's
looking for cue. The other day he
was in conference at Guthrie where
his friends advised him to come out
for anti-prohibition and woman suf-
frage, and he was willing, but ne re-
membered that the Anti-Saloon League
endorsed him before the primary and
he could not consistently desert them
now. Then he considered taking I'D
woman suffrage matter, but the con-
ference advised him that Senator r.
L. Owen is the leader of that move
ment in Oklahoma and that the wo-
men are indissolutly tied to demo
cratic standard. So there's nothing
left for McNeal but to act under the
dictation of Harris and fight Haskell"

COMPANY MUST FURNISH
GAS TO MIAMI CONSUMERS

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 30.-The cor
portation commission has issued an
order requiring the Consumers Gas
company, which has a natural gas pipe
line running from the Oklahoma fields
into Missouri, to supply the town of
Miami Okla, with gas by December
/.
The order was issued upon com
plant of c. A. West ct al, of Miami,
who alleged that the Consumers Gas
company had pipe line running to
Missouri which passes within few
miles of Miami, and that the city had
granted the company a franchise to
furnish 1t with natural gas. 1t was
also alleged that the company has ma
terial for piping the city within the
corporate limits, but has refused to in.
stall the local service, notwithstand-
ing the fact that several of the citi.
zens had piped their buildings for gas
at considerable expense.

HASKELL ASSOCIATES
WELCOMED At MUSKOGEE

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 30.-Five
thousand people with brass bands
went to the station here last night to
welcome home the defendants in the
more or less noted Haskell town lot
suits, which were dismissed yester-
day at McAlester on motion of the
government. 1t was known that Gov
ernor Haskell would not be here with
the rest of the defendants - w. T..
Hutchings, G. w. Turner, w. R. Ea-
ton, A. e. English and Captain F. B.
Seyers-as celebration was being
held in his honor at MGAlester, but
the crowds that thronged the station
were none the less enthusiastic. They
bore banners with appropriate plat
cards, and speeches of welcome were
made Each of the defendants is
pioneer citizen of Muskogee and all
have been prominent in building up
the city. The town turned out en-
masse to show its sympathy for the ac-
cused men.
S. NJ. Rutherford, an attorney, said
in a speech that "all the power of an
ex-president of the United States and
the political power at his command as
president could not fix charge of
conspiracy upon these honest citizens
and make it stick"
And the crowd howled itself hoarse.

OVERDRAFT EVIL
BEING ELIMINATED
Liquidation of Four State Banks
Since July Shown in Bank Com
mlssioner's Statement.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept S0.-A com
paratiye statement issued by Bank
Commissioner E. B. Cockrell shows
that on September /, 1910, the CS7
state banks of Oklahoma had $45,
092,999 of individual deposits and re.
sources totalling $65,O34,419.
Compared with the condition of the
state banks July /, 1910, two months
ago, a decrease of $388,55 in d9pos-
its and the liquidation of four banks
is shown A further comparison with
the condition of the state banks Feb
ruary l, 1910, of the present state.
ment shows that during the seven
months before September !, the state
banks decreased in numbers one and
lost $4,S35,745 in deposits
Since the state banks do about tif-
ty-fve per cent of the banking bust.
ness of Oklahoma, this statement is
a pretty fair index of conditions gen.
orally. The political Importance of
the bank guaranty law, under which
the state banks operate, makes more
important the comparisons since it
will be evident on the face that the
state banks have about become sta
tionary, so far as increasing on the
business of the nationals is concerned.
During the two years intervening be-
tween February 29, 1908, and Febru-
ary l, 1910, the state banks increased
in numbers from 40 to 6SS, and in
deposits, from $1S,032,2S3 to $49,722.-
927. This marvellous growth reached
its zenith the first of the present year,
however, and since that time has de-
clined somewhat, as the comparisons
show.
The present statement is excellent
in one or two features. overdrafts
have decreased from an average of
S,lO0,000 during the past two years
to S55,19S This is due to the per-
sistent fight that Bank Commissioner
e. B. Cockrell has waged against the
oyerdraft habit
For a complete comparison of the
growth of the state banks since the
inception of the bank guaranty law
in March, 1908. the following is given:
Feb. 20, 1908, 470 banks; deposits.
$lS,0S2,2S3; resources, $26,544,2S1.

FOREIGNERS FEAR
CH|NK OUTBREAK
Vessels of Asiatic Fleet and Military
Forces at Manila Prepared
For Action.

Washington, Sept. 30.-China is de-
clared to be on the verge of another
upheaval similar to the boxer upris-
ing, and the lives of foreigners are in
jeopardy. Adyices received here re-
Gently from government officials in
China express the belief that an out
break at any time would not surprise
them. The state department has in
structed officials to maintain a close
watch on the internal conditions.
All through the summer months
there have been mutterings of dis
content in some of the Chinese prov
inces due to the rice famine, dynastic
difficulties and dissatisfaction over
acts of the Pekin government as too
foreign investments in China
Good harvest mitigated to some ex-
tent the gravity of the situation, but
there is still general feeling of un-
rest, according to personal letters re-
ceived here from men on duty in that
ludl ISls L nc dl my anu CuC navy are
prepared for any emergency, but their
readiness is solely precautionary
measure, it is said, and should not be
taken as an indication of immediate
danger.
Authentic advices from those charg-
ed with keeping in touch with the con-
ditions indicate that the only thing
lacking to parallel the present situa-
tion with that preceding the boxer
troubles, which drew into China the
American forces, as well as those of
other nations, is the matter of organic
alton, and that it only needs leader
to effect that.
Every vessel in the Asiatic fleet, as
we'll as the military forces at Manila,
is prepared for almost instant action
if the event of trouble breaks.
United States Minister Calhoun at
Pekin, who last May reported to the
state department the generally dis
quieting anti-foreign and anti-dynas-
tic rumors, is keeping in close touch
with the situation there, and Foreign
Consular Beedy at Making early in the
