Uncle Sam Builds Prison for Women

A PRISON within prison is being
IA built at Leavenworth, Kan, and it
will be the first exclusive federal
prison for women in the United States.
The new jail is being built within the
walls of the United States peniten-
tiary, but it will have a wall Of its
own and the inmates will be more Sc
curely shut off from the world than
the more desperate men confined in
the mems prison.
This inside prison will have room
for about 500 women, there being now
about that number in the various
state penitentiaries in the United
States, the government paying the
states for their keep. These women
have been convicted mainly of viola
tions of the postal laws, smuggling,
counterfeiting or white shaving.
While the women's prison will be
under control of the warden, there
will be a woman superintendent and
under her a corps Of subordinates.
Because of being confined behind
double walls no guards will be neces-
,sary. 1t will be rule that no men,
especially men prisoners. be allowed
IN the women's prison. The women

Bulk of Concealed Assets Recovered

fHE United States has recovered
4 nearly $750,000 from the concealed
assets of Gaynor, Greene and Carter,
who eefrauded the government out of
$2,000!000 in Savannah harbor i'm
prove,aent contracts in 1897. The
actual amount unearthed and attached
was $3.50, ,966.69. This does not in
clude $4,000 forfeited surety of John
F. Gayaor. This sum the government
in the United States district court for
the northern district of New York.
More than half of the recovery came
from the concealed assets of Capt.
Oberlin NJ Carter, the engineer officer
in chsrge of the work at Savannah
harbor and co-conspirator of Greene
and 0aynor, the contractors. The
total assets of Captain Carter seized
by the government amounted to $501,-
$3.50. From B. d. Greene $105. .460.25
was recovered, and from John F. Gay
nor $29,651.O5.
In the recovery of the assets of the
three men civil action in every in
stance was resorted to. If it was not
begun by the government it was by
the holders of the assets. In the for
mer case it was to get hold of the as
sets and in the latter case to get the
assets hack after the government had
seized them. In every case the gov
ernment won.
Most of the assets of Captain Car
ter were in trust funds. They were

90 They Were Married and Lived
Happy-Hum!
In the midst of things, he went east
one year on his vacation-ever so
far to the east, whence he had orig
inally come. He looked upon the
pretty, unspoiled girls In his native
village with lit-up look In his eye,
one pretty girl looked at him-and he
was lost.
So was she, though she did not
think SO at the time.
1t takes a natural non-husband to
fall recklessly In love. The other
sort of man stays engaged indefinite
ly without uttering complaint. Why,
know a man-but never mind him
now. The natural non-husband
plunges, was what ! started to say.
He wants his happiness right away.
Anyway, this man fell headlong in
to those two wells of beauty, his Gene
vieve's blue eyes. Genevieve thought
him wonderful. So he was, but in
quite another way.
She blushed and smiled, tucked her
pretty head down on his shoulder,
and whispered the one little word-o'-
dreams. So they were married and
lived happy-hum!
Genevieve went to the city with her

fat on the north side.

Can't you get home little earlier to-

Well, James will try. But that night
James is sent into the faraways aft
er most important story. He bids
tenuous farewell over the CULVER
ing wire. The Office likes to send
James after big stories. James is a
good man.
When he does get home his soul is
glad because he has put over a fine,
large scoop for the paper. He wants
to tell little Genevieve about it. Lit
tie Genevieve says, "Yes. Yes. But
didn't you miss me awfully?"
And James wakes up to the horrid
truth that, after the first, he had not
missed Genevieve bit. 1t was not
his wedding tour. He was out on as
signment.
Your mind is on that horrid office
even when you are at home. Why
can't you get into some civilized busi-
ness so you can spend your evenings
with your wife?"
''Why, you knew l was newspaper
man when you married me! You said
what great work it mus, be-" says

In the United States Office of public

Yet when James, who, though non.
husband, is not silly, thinks this over,
he recognizes that she could not know.
In her own town, the only town she
ever lived in, men came home from
business at six o'clock and took their
wives to prayer meeting afterwards,
or to the Ladies Aid chicken pie sup

band may surprise you by being a

His day off now became the occa-
sion, to Genevieve's husband, when
he might see Babykins put to bed.
Babykins, unrolled from his little
duds, had so many dimples!
One evening, just when these pro-
ceedings were at their highest point
of excitement and Genevieve was won
dering if James would ever take his
eyes off Babykins long enough to see
Babykin's mother, something broke
out in the hall of the apartment house
just outside their door,
1t bubbled with swears and shrieks,
cracked with pistol shot or two, and
toward 1t James face strained as the
iron to the magnet. The negro janitor
flashed past the door, as he opened
it-just black strickland down the
hall James found girl, the janitor's

in hand, and wound hidden away
somewhere in the mysteries and

after the janitor in jealous fury,
Nobody killed, but a snappy little

"Worried?" hissed his conscience to

Genevieve was worse than worried.

Washington was known three-quarters

the national capital is over 100 years

was planned for her. Tremendous
wings were built to the capitol even
before the war. The White House has
