WILSON IS AK|N'S TARGET
Secretary's Sons Appoint
ment Basis of Proposed In
quiry Into Department.

Another inquiry into the Department of
Agriculture affairs is sought by Repre-
sentative Akin of New York. who has
introduced a resolution directing Secre-
tary Wilson to report to the House the
circumstances under which his son, Jas
per Wilson, was appointed, at a reputed
salary of $4,000, as an employe of a
Colorado irrigation company. The reso-
luton calls for the name of the person
sent to the Philippines from the United
States to take charge Of agriculture in
those islands, the salary he receives and
whether his appointment was arranged
SO that Jasper Wilson, then private secre-
tary to Secretary Wilson, could be given
the irrigation company place.
The resolution was referred to the COM
mittee on agriculture.
The Secretary of Agriculture was not
at the department when inquiry was
made there about the resolution. 1t was
said in the Secretary's Office. however,
that there had been no secret about Jasper
Wilson's employment. The salary he was
reported to be receiving was 10000 q
year There was no record of the name
of the company employing him available.
but it was thought to be the Denver r.
rigation and Reservoir Company. No
copy OF the Akin resolution had been re-
ce.ved at the department and it was pre-
mature, it was explained. to state what
reply the Secretary would make to it.

PRISON IN THE CLOUDS.
Home for Convicts in Switzerland at
Height of 5000 Feet.

Foreign Correspondence or The STAR
GENEVA, May 8. 1912.
What will be the first Alpine convict
prison in Europe is about TO be erected on
the top of the Realp mountain, $3.50 feet
high, in the Canton of Uri. The mountain
belongs to the canton, thus obviating the
necessity of buying a site, but apart from
the question of economy the promoters OF
the scheme are Of opinion that mountain
air will be good for the health and spirits
of the convicts. and more work will thus
be obtained from them. The cost is
estimated to be about 100000 and the
project is subject to confirmation by the
grand council. but this is practically GER
tain to be accorded.
