whom it was repurchased by the bank
at Taylorville, which now has the note
in its possession.
Since the court proceedings, Mr..
Hansen writes that he has had a con-
ference with Nash, the man who
brought trouble for him, and that the
latter has promised a statement of
error. Assertion is further made that
the black stories which found their
way into the Springfield papers and
then circulated over the state with re-
gard to Hansen's alleged frauds in sell
ing worthless stock, originated with
Taylorville correspondent with
''grudge." This correspondent is a
nephew of Nash, the complainant.
LETTER FROM ATTORNEY.
A letter addressed to officers of the
Germania Life Insurance company of
st. Louis, with whom Hansen has been
connected as representative, by How
ard L. MaXon, an attorney of Morrison
vile, Christian county, comments on
the statement by the bank already re-
ferred to. In part, the letter which is
addressed to Henry Kronsbein, says:
Dear Sir: l wish to speak a word
in behalf of my friend, Henry n. Han
sen. | do SO voluntarily and from a
motive of justice. Having been IA
miliar with circumstances of his trou-
bic, have never for a moment doubt
ed that the facts, when known, would
prove complete vindication for Mr.
Hansen, but for a time because of the
large volume of business produced by
him, / could not see exactly how we
were to find a way to identify and
trace this particular transaction. For
tunately the matter stands by itself
and the bank books show a complete
record of the remittance to the Nor
thern Life. This all shows that so far
as Mr.. Hansens dealings are concern
ed there cannot be even a criticism
and his Indictment was a lamentabIe
and cowardly injustice to an innocent
man. Respectfully yours,
HOWARD l.. MAXON.

The commission calls attention to
the growing sentiment throughout the
country in favor Of abolition OF the
common jail as il is known today
This argument is based on the theory
that the prisoner in the Jail is an of
fender against the state laws and as
such, should be dealt with by the
state. even to the extent of providing
his place OF detention. But pending
the time when this desired condition
may come about, the commission
urges the very strictest supervision

authorities and the stimulation of pub
lie opinion to its duty TO the men and
women incarcerated in these places
Says the commission:

appears to be almost impossible TO
arouse public attention 10 its glaring
wrongs. Indifference Chills every eff
fort toward reform. The taxpayer
does not complain against the expen-
diture of money TO repair or rebuild
the county Jail. The center of Popu-
lation which it adorns clings to the
false notion that it is a public building,
designed primarily to reflect the
wealth OF the community and to glori-
fly the city in which it has been erect
ed.
But when the serious effects of the
system upon manhood and womanhood
and upon society il general are reach
ed, the public mind turns and retreats.
"A practical procedure, considering
the attitude of the public, seems to
be to remedy as many of the defects
on the physical side of jails as pos
sible, without however, relentiug one
whit in the opposition TO the greater
/ and more serious faults which touch
and infect society at many more
points"
NEW JAILS IN NINE COUNTIES.
The commission then enumerates
/ nine counties which, during the year,
either began new jaiis or were actual
| ly at work upon them. These new
jails. the report says, are much better
than the best of the old style. There
is distinct improvement in the sani-
tary and hygienic conditions of nearly
all the jails. For instance, sc jails
are furnishing prisoners individual
towels and clean clothes, against 50
in 1910. Seventeen sheriffs now re-
fuse TO detain insane, against Is in
1910 The commission finds, however,
that the state law demanding segrega-
ton of minors from adults is violated
in 20 counties.
There were 81 jails which should
be condemned as insanitary. Thirty
five counties have or are building san
itary jails. Ten counties have first
class jails as follows: Champaign, De
Kalb, DuPage, Jasper, Livingston,
Mercer. Monroe, Montgomery, Saline
and Woodford.
Twenty counties allow the sheriffs
% 10 80 cents a week a prisoner for
washing his clothes. In many of
these counties, however, whatever
washing is done, is done by the pris-
oner himself. Only three counties.

Letters have been received by local
friends of Henry n. Hansen, former
Y. NJ. c. A. worker in the twin-cities
and Springfield, now under indictment
by the circuit court of Christian coun-
ty, to establish his innocence of the
charge that has been preferred against
him-that of failing to account for
sale of stock in the now defunct
Northern Life Insurance company
Charges were preferred by o. E. Nash,
grain merchant of Sharpsburg, and
as result Of court proceedings Hansen
is now out on $4,000 bonds.
Nash, in his complaint contends
that the man received $1,000 from
him in payment for shares of stock
in the Northern Life Insurance com
pany, and that in turn he failed to de-
liver proper certificate. intimating that
Hansen had cashed the note given him
and appropriated it to his personal
uses Since the preliminary trial, Han
sen has been busy collecting evidence
| to vindicate himself from any alleged
crookedness and he has submitted
proof to parties here that explains
the history Of the transaction with
Nash
