BEALIi
VISITS FEDERAL PRISON.
House Subcommittee May Investi-
gate Conditions at Leaven-

gate Conditions at LeAven-
worth Penitentiary.
Leavenworth, Kas., March a.
Representative Jack Beall of Texas,
chairman of the house committee on
expenditures in the department of
justice, visited the United States
prison here Thursday. His coming
wassunexpected.
Mr.. Beall said 1t would be decided
whether his committee would visit
the local prison after his return 20
Washington. He said it was probable
that a subcommittee would investi-
gate the institution. He said he
knew nothing wrong with condi-
lions in the prison, but believed
that an occasional congressional in
yestigation benefited any public In
stitution.
Mr. Beall arrived in Leavenworth
Tuesday night, but no one knew Of
his presence here until Wednesday
morning. His unexpected visit was
taken to mean that at the inspec
tors suggestion Mr. Beall had come
to see for himself and the commit
tee just what conditions are.

THE KATY TO BUILD
SOUTH FROM AUSTIN
Three Surveys for Proposed Line
Are Being Made.

San Antonio, Texas. March az
Three routes are being surveyed by
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railroad to extend its line south of
Austin to a connection with its own
rails further south, the rails of the
International and Great Northern
railroad between Austin and San
Marcos having been used since the
Katy first entered Southwest Texas.
This extension would have been
built long ago had it not been for
the expense OF crossing the Colorado
river at Austin, the cost of bridge
being estimated at not less than
$3.50. 900, and 1t has been made
necessary now by the refusal of the
International and Great Northern
railroad to renew its agreement witt
the Katy. the agreement expiring
the latter part of this year. One c
the lines being surveyed is to Loeb
: hart IS miles from San Marcos
another to Maxwell 10 miles fron
San Marcos and third to Reed
vile, about miles from San Mar
cos. At any of these points connec.
ton would be made with a branch
| line of the Katy which now extends
from San Marcos via Lockhart TO
the main line at Smithville. The
construction of the extension TO any
of these points would, 1t is said. OBJ

Time Hcldup.
Longview, Texas, March 22
Gary, small town fifty miles south
OF here on the Santa Fe railway,
which has bank and few stores,
had a daring bank robbery yester-
day at 1880 p. m.
When Cashier J. A. Knight of the
First State Bank, who was alone In
the bank, stepped into the bank
vault the door was closed and fas-
tened He remained an hour and
thirty minutes. His cries were final
ly heard and he was released al
most suffocated He was unable to
make statement for quite a while.
Physicians say the cashier would
have been dead In fifteen minutes
more.
Two thousand dollars and loose
change to the amount of about $3.50
was taken.
The only clew are tracks on some
soft ground in the rear of the
bank.
1t is thought holdup man was
at hand when the cashier went into

Woodrow Wilson. speaking at q

New York, on the night of March
9th, declared any one who spoke Of
q popular vote of the American
people as "mob government" had
no right to call himself an amer

II am not afraid of the American
people getting up and humping
themselves, said the governor. Il
am only afraid they will not; and
when I hear a popular vote spoken
of as mob government feel like
telling the man who uttars that that
he has no right to call himself an
American,
"A mob Is body of men In hot
contact with one another, moved by
a single, ungovernable passion upon
a hasty thing that they will regret
the next day. Do you see anything
resembling mob in that voting
population of the countryside, men
tramping over the mountainside,
going to the general store at the vii
lage, men going into little conters-
ing groups to cast their ballots? Is
that your notions of a mob, or Is
that your picture of free self-gov-
ernlng people?
II am not afraid Of tho judgment
so expressed If you will give men

BIG PROFIT IN HOTEL PHONES
New York Houses Make Fortunes
by Overcharging for Calls.

I ny SssAf& Sdiis.
Associated Press Special
New York, March 22.--The com
bined hotels of New York, it was
learned yesterday, make each year
net profit of more than a million
dollars on their telephone systems
Patrons are charged sometimes 600
per cent more for sealIs'' than a
fair. profit would warrant. One ho-
tel, alone, according to Senator
Stephen J. StilwelI, clears $4,000
year above expenses.
The result of an inquiry among
the hotels and at the offices of the
telephone company, showed that it
is customary to charge ten cents for
each five minutes of a call, the ho-
tel paying the telephone company
only three cents for use of its wires,
plus fraction of a cent for the in
struments. For instance, when a
hotel charged forty cents for the
use of telephone for sixteen min
| utes, a profit of thirty-six and q
| traction cents Is made.

In broad daylight in a western city a
stranger had entered a big dry goods
store and held up the cashier. obtained

he got half a mile away before being
captured. The money was not found
on him, but there We're half a dozen
persons to swear to his identity.
The prisoner. who gave his name as
James Drayton. decided that Il mistake
had been made. At his trial he actu-
ally proved that he was a resident OF a
village fifty miles away. and half a
dozen of his fellow townsmen were ON

Nevertheless he was sentenced TO

judge read him a severe moral lecture
from the bench in addition. The pris-
