La Dow Opposes Consolidation.

A conference was held in Commissioner
Judson's office several months ago, and
Mr.. La Dow is said to have sought then
to influence the Commissioners against thu
plan of consolidating the institutions
Another conference was held in the At.
torney Generals Office, and at that time
Mr.. La Dow argued against the corsolida-
ton of the institutions, but the Attorney
General later put his approval of the
scheme in writing.
During those days the question Of who
should lose position came up before the
Commissioners, and was dismissed py
them as being something that they had
little or nothing to do with in view of the
fact that they were following plan laid
down by law.
For these reasons the District officials
and members of the various boards that
have dealings with the Jail and work.
house believe that Warden Mckee will be
given a position under the Department of
Justice. They are strengthened in their
belief by the fact that Attorney General
Wickersham only recently made very
complimentary remarks about Warden
Mckee and the Jail.
The warden himself said this morning
that he had no conversation with any one
about the subject, that he did not have
an inkling as to what would happen and
that he had not seen the Commissioners
about the matter.

Regarded as Menace.

THE popular election of senators is
proposed. The next logical step would
be an amendment to- the Constitution

lion inhabitants should have an extra
senator, and that for every additional

still another. When that logical step
is taken our legislative plan Of govern
ment will have been broken down.

to oppose the plan, according to officials

The fact that the consolidation is to
become effective July 1 is in direct ac-
cordance with the recommendations of
the recent prison commission, and the
Commissioners have had the program
planned out for year. Commissioner
Rudolph this morning was not in very
good humor over the published statement
that the board lis in a quandary" over
what to do with the situation presented
by the new legislation.
At the Department of Justice today no
one would make statement for publ
cation on the subject of what Mr.. Nc
KEGS new duties will be. The Attorney
General left the city early in the day,
his confidential clerk professed to know
absolutely nothing about the legislation
and Robert V. La Dow, superintendent
of prisons. and one of Mr.. Mckees
strongest friends, is also out of the city.

herself as agreeable to the king as pos
sible. Haman, the kings favorite, took
dislike to the gate-keeper of the pal
ace, Mordecai, Jew, because the lat
ter did not bow before him, as did 9TH
ers. MOrdecai was so faithful that
Haman could not hope to find a fault
with him, and thus to cause his remov-
al. His hatred extended to the entire
Jewish race. He prevailed upon the
king to issue decree that all the Jews
of his kingdom should be set upon and
killed, as enemies of the country This,
of course, would include Mordecai, his
special enemy, whom he would then
feel free to KILL
AS the time for the enforcement of
the decree drew nearer and nearer,
MOrdecai and all the Jews throughout
the empire were in great distress and
fear, yet not without hope that their
God would work for them some deliv-
erance.
