PARDON FOR 800 CONVICTS.
Arkansas Governors Extra o rdinsry Act
Protest Against Lease System.

Arkansas CoNernor's Extraordinary Act
Protest Against Lease System.
Little Rock, Ark, Dec. ia blow at
the convict lease system, employed in
Arkansas and other states, will be
struck here when Governor George w.
Donaghey will pardon and free $50
convicts from the state penitentiary.
This action is the direct result of
sentiments expressed by Governor Do
naghey in n speech before the confer
ence of governors at Richmond, Va,
two weeks ago.
Three convict CAMPS in Arkansas will
be wiped out by the wholesale granting
of pardons. These camps are the ones
where convicts are leased to contract
ors and do not include the camps where
convicts are employed in building state
roads.
The cOnvicts included in the list to
he pardoned are serving sentences for
minor felonles. Many of them, how
ever, were sentenced for fifteen years
and more. Governor Donaghey has
prepared a lengthy explanation of his
action to be presented to the state leg
islature in January. He says:
II have constantly fought the con-
vict lease system since l have been in
public Office. In every public speech I
have denounced it. AS a member of
the penitentiary board l have opposed
it in every instance where it was at
issue. Time after time have pleaded
with the legislature to abolish it, but
in spite of all this no adequate relief
has been given.'

Pittsburgh, Dec. 17.-Charged with
the embezzlement of $1S7,OOO, Elmer
w. Moore, an attorney and former
treasurer of the Federal Oil and Gas
company, whose headquarters were in
Philadelphia, was arrested on Dec 2
by Officer Nc -loskey and was released
on $4,000 bail last Thursday by Alder
man Martin.
The warrant charging Moore with
embezzlement was sworn out by Unit
ed States Marshal E. II. Porter who
is an officer of the company. The
greatest secrecy surrounded the case
until the facts in the matter leaked
out.
The information on which the war
rant was issued was made by Porter
on Nov. 30 and alleges that Moore en-

and Gas company while acting as
treasurer of that concern.

WOMEN ARE INTERESTED IN ES-
TABLISHING LOWER DEATH
RATE AMONG THEIR SEX.

1t has recently been discovered
that many women who believe they
are suffering with diseases peculiar
to their sex, have nothing else but
kidney trouble or the results of kid
ney and bladder diseases. Thous-
ands of women suffer from kidney
trouble and never know it. When
the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they often cause the other
organs to become diseased, and you
become enrvous, irritable and often
despondent.
When in i'll health you may suffer
with bearing down feelings, back
ache, and loss of ambition. Many
thousands of nervous, irritable and
broken down women have restored
their health and strength with

PASTOR ATTACKS TURKEY TRoT
Worse Than Dance of Salome, Says
DR.. e. p. Pfatteicher.

Philadelphia, Dec. 7.-Denouncing
the turkey trot" as immoral, the Rev
DIR. E. P. Pfatteicher, pastor of the
Lutheran Church of the Holy Com
munion in this city, likened It to the
dance which Salome performed before
Herod. The only difference, he said,
was that the turkey trot" was little
the worse.
DR.. Pfatteicher expressed horror that
young people should be encouraged to
dance conjointly" in the same fash
ion as Salome danced singly. "Sa-
lome," he said, performed for a group
of wanton drunkards, and they who
witness these affairs today are little
better"

WISH LOWER EXPRESS RATE

A complaint has been filed with the
state railroad commission by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
of Los Angeles, stating that the rates
of the Wells-Fargo Express company
to points in the Imperial valley are
greater than those charged by the cOm-
pany in any other part of the United
States, and that the difference is "un-
unjust and unlawful"
Other allegations are made that San
Francisco is unduly favored to other
points. The petition states that eli
matte conditions, cheapness of fuel and
the low cost of upkeep enable the ex-
press company to operate at less cost
than in other parts of the country.
The complaint sets forth that the aver
age rate from San Francisco is .006S
cents per 100 pounds per mile while
the rate from Los Angeles to points
calls for .0106 cents per
100 pounds per mile.
