Naval Gift to Miss Gould.

New York, Dec. 21.-A unique
wedding gift for Miss Helen Gould,
whose engagement to Finley j. Shep-
pard was recently announced, will
come from more than 10000 men of
the warships of the Atlantic fleet.
The limit of an individual subscrip-
ton was placed at twenty-five cents.
The officers of the fleet are to have
an opportunity to join in gift to Miss
Gould through the taking of a sepa-
rate subscription. No decision as to
the nature of the gift has as yet been
reached, it is understood.
Miss Gould has long been interes-
ted in the welfare of the enlisted men
of the navy. The fine club house
which stands near the Brooklyn navy
yard entrance is her gift to them.
Likewise she was one of those who
made possible similar structures in
Norfolk, Philadelphia, Manila and
other ports.

set apart by Congress for aiding in

utilized in this state, under conditions
which are explained in the following
excerpt from his letter:
"lf you will cause to be selected in
your state suitable road about fifty
miles long over the entire length of
which there is delivery of mail by
rural carriers, and will arrange to
have $4,000 raised by the state or
local subdivision thereof, in accord
ance with the requirements of the law

Prison a ''Seething He'll"

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 2O.-Char-
acterizing the Arkansas penitentiary
under the lease system as a burn
ing, seething hell, consuming human
beings y who are "being fed into it
in manner which results in nothing
but making fortunes for contractors"
Gov. George W. Donaghey today
issued statement in defense of his
action last Monday in issuing pardons
to 3l6 state convicts.
Sharp criticism of the governors
action from state officials and citizens
previously had drawn from the ex-
ecutive the statement that call those
who oppose the adjustment of the
inhuman convict system, which we
now have in Arkansas, are in my
opinion bound in the direction of that
place spoken Of by Governor Blease
in connection with the constitution,
and it is my belief they are going to
land there in spite of every effort of
mine to prevent them doing so."
Again the governor was sharply
aSSailed and his statement today fol-
lowed.
According to newspaper COM
pilation, based on the state records,
forty-three of those. pardoned by
Governor Donaghey were convicted
OF murder or manslaughter, Ill
grand larcency, four assault, five
robbery, nineteen forgery, thirty-two
burglary, twenty-six assault to kill,
and seventy-siX of crimes ranging
from hog stealing to bigamy.
