CONVICT LABOR CHEAPER.

The difference In the cost of road
making by free and convict labor on
the roads Is $500 per mile rhat is
the reduction and the saving brought
ABOUT when conricts are substituted OIL
the public roads for free labor.
An absolute reduction in the cost OF
maintenance of convict labor on the
public roads resulted i'll diminishing
the cost of construction OF the avernr.
mile during 1911, The cost of convict
labor during that year. according TO
the annual report of state Highway
Commissioner p. ST. Julien Wilson. Just
made public, was 5o.67 cents per ten
hour working day. In 1910 tho cost
was 6e.'l cents, and in 1909 il was 70
cents per day.
According to Commissioner Wilson.
the demand for convict labor has been
Tar In excess of the available supply.
This has been due 10 the limited an
preparation made for maintenance Of
Inc convict road force and 10 the num-
Der OF men who could be used in this
way With sufficient number of
men and the means for their support"
says the same authority. available
employment can readily be found for

In another section OF Commission
er wilson's report it is recommended
that one or more permanent rock quar-
ries be established for furnishing road
material to those counties which have
no road building rock. This Ia an
sminenly practical suggestion, and
provides solution for the question:
What shall be done with the life pr,s

DEFAULT OF BAIL
Guess Things Will Come
Out All Right" Says Ac-
cused Husband.

Raymond B, Killers, charged with
blgamy, waived preliminary examina-
ton In Police Court today and was held
for the grand jury under 81, 900 bond. In
default Of bail he was remanded to
jail.
Il guess things will come out all
right. but l don't want to talk about
the case" said Killers, who seemed
rather Indifferent over the affair.
Miss Mary Dolpha, the twenty-one-
year-old girl Killers deceived. is under
the care of a physician at the Metho-
dist Deaconess Home, 81 o street
northwest. She is on the verge of a
nervous collapse as result Of her ex-
perience. She says she still loves Hill
lers.
Mrs Killers No. 1, who is the mother
of two children, a girl of six and a boy
of three years, expresses her sympathy
for the Dolpha girl, but is not ready to
forgive her husband. She had Killers
arrested about three years ago on a
charge of non-support and subsequently
there WAS reconciliation. but he de-
serted his wife again In April.
Killers was arrested at Norfolk by
Detective Pruitt on Saturday and
brought back to Washington.

eve are considering the chang
ing needs of the people in the dis
position of our public lands and
their conservation. AS those lands
owned by the Government and USE
full for agricultural purposes which
remain are as whole less de-
sirable as homesteads than those
which have been already settled, II
has been properly thought wise to
reduce the time for perfecting a
homestead claim from five years to
three, and this whether on land
within the rain area or in those
arid tracts within the reclamation
system.
Again, a bill has passed the
Senate and is likely to pass the
House which will not compel the
settlers on reclamation lands to
wait ten years and until full pay
ment of what they owe the Gov
ernment before they receive title.
"On the other hand, the with
drawal of coal lands, phosphate
lands, and oil lands and water
power sites is still maintained until
Congress shall provide on the
principles of proper conservation
a system of disposition which will
attract capital on the one hand and
retain sufficient control by the
Government on the other to pre-
vent the evil of concentrating alb
solute ownership in a few persons
of those sources for the production
of necessities. Taft speech OF
