CRIMINALOGIST
 COLLINS RESIGNS

Albany, N. Y., April 26.-Cornelius w. Collins of Troy, state superintendent of prisons for 13 years, has resigned.
 Superintendent Collins had supervision over the four state prisons, Sing Sing, Auburn, Clinton and Great Meadows, and of the Mattewan and Dannemora state hospitals for the criminal insane. He also was member of the state parole board and was chairman of the commis- sion on new prisons appointed by Gov ernor Hughes to select the site for the new prison, to take place of Sing Sing
 Soon after Governor Dix assumed office in January he requested Collins to resign. The governors next move was to order an investigation of the state commission on lunacy, the state prisons and reforma- tories and the excise and highway depart ments. The prison department was the first to be investigated
 As a result of the Investigation at Sing Sing and Clinton prisons alleged irregu- larities in the purchase of supplies were developed. but no charges were preferred against Superintendent Collins.
 In his letter to the governor the su- perintendent gave no reason for his res ignation, but 1t is understood business proposition was offered, and if accepted made 1t imperative for him to sever his connections with the department at once He was not in Albany today.
 As criminalogist, Superintendent Col lins was well known, not only in the United States but abroad. During his long service at the head of New York s prison department he inaugurated many reforms. He abolished the lockstep, striped clothing and the clipping of con- victs' hair.

HIDDEN RIVER
 UNDER OLD TEXAS

San Antonio, Tex, April 26.-(Special)- It Is maintained by geologists and others who have given the matter attention that Texas has the greatest underground riVei in the world. It is maintained that this is an underflow from the Rocky noun tains and that this stream, several miles wide. sweeps across New Mexico, the northwestern part of Texas, and from 1t the water supply from number of liv- ing. streams such as the Guadalupe and others. is obtained Wells sunk recently in the northwestern part of this state and at a number of places in New Mexico strengthen the theory that such an un- derground stream exists. It is well known fact that in the vicinity of Tu- cumcari, N. M, and points immediately south of that city, fine flows of artesian water are obtained at depth of 800 feet Recently, while sinking wells in search of oil-test wells-in the northwestern part of Texas living water was struck at about the same depth At other points in Texas, too, northwest of this city, fine flows of water have been struck at even a less depth than those mentioned. The proof that there is a stream flowing un- derground in the same direction as the Rio Grande is emphasized by the fact that the wells sunk. both north and south of q certain belt of country, extending to the northwest, have failed to find water. although going to much greater depth. It Is maintained by geologists that this underground stream flows southeast from the Rocky mountains to Sutton county, Texas. and then flows directly south for at least 100 miles and thence southeasteriy to the gulf Upon this theory relative to the course of the stream the great ar tesian belt of Texas Is accounted for, the claim Leing made that the artesisn wells tap the body of the stream For q time there was a theory that portion or the southwest section of the state was underlaid by subterranean like, but this theory has given place to the latter and more scientific conclusion that a great underground drainway sweeps southeast ward from the Rocky mountains, similar in many respects to the underground stream that stretches southwestward across Illinois from what Is known as the "Eankakee country.

 ANT|-P|STOL LAW Supreme Court Will Pass on Constitutionality of Re-
 quiring License

Atlanta, April 2s.-(Special)-The con stitutionality of the law which requires the procuring of license from the ordi- nary before anyone Is permitted to carry q pistol exposed is to be passed on by the supreme court.
 This law has several times been brought into question and one minor court has already declared it unconstitutional while others have upheld it.
 The first case to come up is that or L. J. Strickland of Carroll county, who was convicted of carrying, not a concealed weapon, but an exposed weapon without having first secured the required license It should be understood that the new law in no wise interferes with the old law which makes it a misdemeanor to carry concealed weapon.
 The present law was enacted at the last session of the general assembly, and Representative H. S. White of Screven was it's author. MT. White and other friends of the measure have been much concerned over the attitude of the courts toward it, and the decision of the supreme court will be awaited with no small in terest'
 The appeal comes from the city couit of Carrollton to the state court Of ap- peals, but the latter court will first certify 1t to the supreme court, because of the constitutional question involved. The de- fendant is making the point that the whole law is violative of the constitution in that it interferes with the prescribed rights of citizens to bear arms.
 If the supreme court should find the law in conflict with the constitution, there is little question that there will be some new legislation on the subject at the coming session.
