Old Pixies Peak is not mountain to be
joked with, or approached lightly. There
is many danger in It's towering height,
many caprice In its atmosphere not APP
parent from Colorado Springs. From
there 1t usually appears the same; now
and then a cloud hiding its summit, then
clearing. No effect from that cloud is
felt in Colorado Springs. SO, therefore,
why should the weather be any different
a bit higher up? 1t was, perhaps this
lack of reasoning which just sent two
persons to their death.
And they were not the only ones who
did not stop 10 think.
For instance. it is morning in Colorado
Springs The sun is warm, rejecting the
dun granite reds and messy greens of the
foothills, merging into the hazy purplish
brown of the summit The peak looks
down with friendly frown. In the lobby
of the Antlers things are duh y few
persons, clad in summer garments, are
roaming about; the Eastern mail has
come in and the letters distributed; there
is nothing TO do until evening, when per-
haps there will be the usual visit or the
dance at Broadmoor. suddenly someone
has an inspiration Why not walk up the
peak?
So they start. women and men perhaps
coatless, wearing light high-heeled shoes,
with practically no provisions against
sudden changes. perhaps storms that
sweep from the west around the tower
ing mountain. The air of Colorado
Springs is rare because it is mile above
sea level They who are starting on then
jaunt do not stop TO think of the vast
difference two more miles in altitude will
make. They begin their toll.
The trail to the Half Way House Is
comparatively easy. There are trees and
broad trails and plenty of resting places
Surely this is no difficult mountain to
climb! The high heels and the light
clothing have done very we'll.

BACK TO PRISON AGAIN.
Said He Learned COunterfeiting in
Leavenworth Penitentiary.

Leavenworth, Kan. March 1S.-
Tuesday there was sentenced in the
United States court at Chicago, Walter
Russell and Albert Schlicter to terms
in the penitentiary here, and they will
probably arrive today. Russell was
given six years and Schlicter two years
on the charge of counterfeiting silver
dollars.
During the trial of the two men,
Russell stated that he had learned the
counterfeiting business in prison at
this place. 1t appears that he is an
old timer, he having been released
from the prison just seven months
ago. He was received May IS, 1908,
under a three years sentence and re-
leased August %, 1910.
Prior to his first coming here he
had served term in the Illinois state
penitenitary at Joliet, having been
sentenced from Chicago to ten years
for larceh~ and was discharged from
the prison August II, 1906. He went
under the aliases of Walter Quiros and
Walter Quinn, serving in Joliet under
the latter name.

matter of Canadian reciprocity. Each
editor present expressed his views on
the subject and it was thoroughly dis
cussed. The majority of the editors
were against the plan because of the
wheat tariff but there were a few in
favor of reciprocity. The association
also attacked the government plan of

AN ENTIRE CHANGE
Extra Session Of Congress VIII
See New Make Up.
New Chairman and Committee
Will Be Appointed.
DEMOCRATS CONTROL.
Champ Clark Will Relieve Uncle
Joe in the Chair.
Democratic Leaders Differ as to
Length of Session.
DEMOCRATS CONTROL.

Washington, March 1S.-When the
extra session of congress opens on
April the makeup of the committees
in both branches will be entirely
changed. While the senate does not
change hands politically. SO many of
the men who have dominated it's de-
alterations for the past decade will
have retired to private life that new
chairmen of important committees
will be appointed throughout.
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania is
the logical appointee for chairman of
the finance committee, while Senator
Perkins of California will undoubtedly
be appointed chairman of the appro-
priations committee. Senator Cum
minis of Iowa will. as leader of the in
surgents, be among the most powerful
factors to be considered, while Sena-
tor E1ihu Root of New York will be
among those consulted on all impor-
tant measures.
In the house the Democrats assume
control, with Champ Clark in the
chair.
Mr.. Underwood of Alabama, who
will be chairman of the tariff making
ways and means committee of the next
congress.
Democratic leaders in the house diff
fer as to the length of an extraordi-
nary session, but all the estimates are
tween July 1 and October 1.
Speaker-to-be Clark believes that
four or five months would be ample
and that adjournment might be reach
ed during July. Chairman Under
wood of the ways and means commit
tee of the next house feels that an ex-
ira session could wind up it's business
by September 1.
Representative Henry of Texas. who
will be one of the leaders in the next
house, thinks such a session might
run on until October 1.
The selection of committees-those
on accounts, mileage and rules, first
of all-will be the first work attempt
ed if congress meets in extra session.
The choice rests with the ways and
means committee. which is vested
with the function of a committee on
committees, though a Democratic eau
Gus must formally pass upon the com
mittees action.
OF the special sessions called in
March during the past 40 years. the
shortest term was one and one-half
months and the longest almost nine
months.

| vened March Is and remained IN ses-
! sion until August 8, constructing the

Special Agent Visits Federal
Prison to Get Pointers.
Will Return With Witnesses Who
Can Positively Identify Man.
PHOTOGRAPHS SAME.
Compared Recent Picture With
One Taken 10 Years Ago.
Feels Sure That Maust Is the
Man That Is Wanted.
SUNDAY

Leavenworth, March 18-Acting I'M
der orders of Attorney General Wick
ersham, special agent from the bu-
reau Of Identification of the depart
ment of justice. visited the federal
prison to consult with Special Agent
McClaughry relative to the prisoner at
Jefferson City. Mo, known as Charles
Maust, who, it is generally believed, is
Ben Cravens. the notorious Okla
homa outlaw and escaped prisoner from
the Kansas state penitentiary at Ian
sing.
1t developed that the federal prison
authorities had nothing on record rela-
tive to Ben Cravens, except an old
photograph taken in Oklahoma about
been any Bertillon measurements,
photographs, or finger prints taken of
Cravens, but the special agent brought
from Jefferson City a recent photo
graph Of the suspected. man. This
photographs were found to be Identical
on file, taken eighteen years ago. Both
photographs were found to be Identical
cally the same, with the exception of
the color of the hair, which is grayer
in the later photograph, and this is
easily accounted for by the difference
in time of the taking of the pictures.
The two photographs were submitted
to a scientific investigation, under a
powerful magnifying glass, according
to all the science Of criminal photo
graphy and satisfied the investigators
that they we're both of the one, and
same man. Special Agent McClaughry
made out a written statement that he
felt quite sure that the photograph of
Charles Maust was that of Ben
Cravens, from comparison of the two.
After this positive Identification of the
photographs. the special agent left for
Oklahoma and will return to Jefferson
City with two parties who are we'll ac-
quainted with Ben Cravens, and will be
ale to identify him if he is in prison
under the name of Charles Maust.
The orders of the attorney general
are that the investigation be a thor
ough one. as, if the prisoner is the
right man, he will be taken to Guthrie
and tried in the United States courts
for the murder of Alvin 7. Bateman,
postmaster at Red Rock. Bert Welty,
who was implicated with Cravens in
the murder of the postmaster is serv-
ing a life sentence in the federal
prison, having been sent from the old
indian territory in December, 1901

CUPID'S WINGS TOO LARGE.
But the Jury-Decided That There Was
No Standard Size.

Kansas City, March 1s.-There is
no standard size for Cupid's wings, de-
cided a jury in Judge Hutchings' di-
vision of the Wyandotte county. Kan
sas, district court.
The verdict was rendered in a case
where Leon Lawrence, an artist. was
suing to recover for a painting of
Cupid at the Foot of the Muse" he
had put on a drop curtain. of a theater
of which w. P. Shanberg is manager.
Shanberg said the wings were too
large.
1.-The wings of that Cupid would
look all right on an angel" said Shan
berg, ''but they are too big for our
friend, Daniel. Those wings cover so
much of his back that there is no
room for a culver, and certainly a
Cupid without CULVER is as ineffective
as duck hunter without q gun"
Lawrence maintained that the wings
were proportionate, and he took the
judge and jury over to the theater to
view the painting. Then the jury
heard a great deal about perspective,
atmosphere, shades, tints and blend
ing. The result was Lawrence got a
verdict for 5000. He asked for $305.

FAULT WITH NEW COURT HOUSE
Sounds Vibrate So That 1t Is Hard to
Understand.

Salina, Kan, March 1S.-The fact
that there is very little furniture in
the new Saline county court house and
because it is so compactly constructed.
are said by some to be the reason why
it is difficult to hear a conversation
carried on in an ordinary tone of voice.
In the big court room the sounds vi
brate to such an extent that it re-
quires an eager ear to catch distinctly
what is said.
The floors in every room in the
building are very NOISY and even in
some of the smaller rooms it is diff
cult to understand what is said unless
the parties speaking are very close to-
gether, and the county officers are con-
templating the organization of a get
ogether-closer'' club.

MORE PAY FOR CARRIERS.
Rural Carriers Given a Hundred Dol
lar Raise a Year.

After July 1, 1911, all rural carriers
in Kansas who have been receiving
SIS month, or $500 a year, will re-
ceive an additional 500 year. AS
practically all the rural carriers re-
ceive SIS a month now, the addition
will be a sweeping one, and will take
in almost every rural carrier in Kan
sas. Heretofore 5000 a year has been
the most any carrier was paid. The
increase means that the maximum will
be raised.
The increase will make quite diff
ference in the aggregate of the salary
received by the Kansas carriers. Here
tofore approximately $4,000 a month
has covered the payroll. The addi-
ton of 500 a year to each of about
1900 rural carriers means the addi-
ton of $4,000 a year. The rural
service has cost, for Kansas. about ST.
100000 a year. After July 1 it will
cost approximately $1,78O,000.

GRAY LIKES HIS PLACE.
His Sister Arranged With Warden te
Keep Her Brother at Pen.

Kansas City, March 1S.-Jame s
Gray, whose sister. Mrs. E. c. Smith,
who says she is from New York, came
unexpectedly upon him in the Ian
sing, Kan. state prison. where he is
confined, last week, will probably end
his life there. Gray, who s detained
in the insane ward, says he likes the
place. Mrs. Smith said last night she
had arranged with the warden to keep
her brother. ~
Mrs. Smith had not seen her brother
for IA years until he confronted her
in a convict's garb. She did not go to
the prison searching for him. She went
there merely to inspect the peniten-
tiary.
Gray was sentenced from Concordia,
Kan, six years ago to one year in
prison on charge of stealing a pair
of shoes. When his term expired he
had no place to go. so the prison Off
Gals cared for him.
According to Mrs. Smith, her brother
was a bright bay, but gambling caused
his downfall. She gave him money to
go to an engineering school in Phila-
delphia, she says. but he came west
and sQuandered the cash.
