The largest item Of expenditure in
each case was that Of the county CEN

candidates from IS to $135. Two can

expenses went through the campaign
without spending a cent. These were

The expenditures outside Of the coun-

DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. 25.-"There
Is nothing to arbitrate.''
This was the answer today Of Cen
eral Manager Warren of the local

lures of the striking conductors and
motormen to end their strike. Their
refusal to arbitrate, taken in connec.

the street car company resume the
service 1t maintained before the
strike, puts the responsibility for the
service squarely upon the company,
labor leaders say.
The men in their offer agreed not
to insist on recognition of the union
or the reinstatement Of the nine men
discharged, but asked that a griev-
ance committee be received to arbi-
trate the cases of these men. No in
crease Of wages was asked in the lat
est offer, but minor re-adjustment OF
working hours was asked.
The company will appeal from
Judge Dibbells decision to the state

[ UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
DENVER. Colo, Sept 25.-If you
know where to throw your weight,
and If you carry yourself correctly,
you would not be afraid to wear cor
sets or high-heeled shoes.
Mrs. Florence McElvaine Peck,
teacher OF physical culture and aes-
thetic dancing in st. Louis, thinks
that DR.. Foelkmar, who recently made
charges against corsets and high
heeled shoes, at the congress of hy-
giene and demography, is dead
wrong" She said SO today.
"Of course If young girls wear cor.
sets too small and ill-fitting and then
tie their corset strings to a bed post
to pull them tight. they will feel evil
effects in after life, but l have founc
that good corsets, worn properly
never hurt any one and that high
heeled shoes have no evil effects
There Is much to be said about tht
wearing of corsets."

New York Republicans Meet
With no Leaders and
No Slate.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 25.--
Unique in every way was the repub-
lican state convention that assembled
here this afternoon. 1t was the first
party convention since the days OF
the Stalwart-Half-Bree fights that
met without slate, without program
and with the leaders entirely at sea
over the great questions of party pol
icies.
The individual delegates had come
into their own and they were 80
flushed with the feeling of indepen-
dence that the party wheel horses,
William Barnes, Jr., who won the
Taft fight at Chicago; Senator Elihu
Root, who as presiding officer at Chi.
cago forced the Roosevelt defeat;
Congressman Calder, Fred Greiner
and others feared to attempt any dom
ination and declared they would let
the delegates carry out their will un.
hampered.
Today's session was given up en-
tirely to perfecting the temporary or.
ganization.
When Temporary Chairman Guth-
rie mentioned President Taft's name
for the first time demonstration fol
lowed that pleased the leaders. Del
egates jumped to their feet, cheering
and shouting for three minutes.

OUTSIDERS AS BAD
AS THE INSIDERS
Warden Says People Misiudge
Convicts Who Are Not
Such Bad Lot.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. |
CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-"If people
treated their sheep and hogs as the
conyicts Of this country are treated
In the state prisons, the humane So
cleties would be after them in min
ute with a storm of protest"
This was one OF the statements
made by T. j. lyman, warden of the
Canon City. Colo, penitentiary, at the
Association Of Commerce luncheon to-
day.
Speaking to about FIVE hundred bust
ness men about the work being done
IN building roads in his state, Warden
lyman said the prison systems OF the
country are away behind the times,
and he charges the patronage and fee
systems in the administration OF JUS
tice as the cause.
Il am not sentimentalist," said
Warden lyman. "but Lay plan Of pris-
on government, which has been prov
en- eminently successful, Is based on
common sense. 1t is simple little
system that will work everywhere.
Out in Colorado we employ the
honorable system In handling our con-
victs. Sixty per cent of the inmates
work building roads miles away from
the prison, 200 to 300 In party, super
vised by two overseers, but with no
gun guards. They don't run away:
they won't run away, for 1t would be
foolish to do so. They have every,
thing to gain and nothing to lose By
being on their honor. They have talk.
en- Off their sentence ten days for ev-
cry month spent on the road work,
and month every year for good be-
havoir and they all work to get out on
the road parties.
The result is that we have 1000
miles of the finest roads in the coun-
try, at 20 per cent less cost than If
made In any other way Furthermore
We turn men out of the prison useful
and 80 per cent of them make good.
We teach them outdoor occupations
that take them away from the cities,
away from the factories, back to the
soil, and make men out Of them"
Showing moving picture fiims qf
the convicts at work on the roads, Ty-
nan said that most people misjudge
convicts and that the greater portion
of them are no worse than most peo.
pie outside-that they are victims OF
circumstances and just happened to
get caught.
Warden lyman is on his way to the
bankers meeting in Peoria to talk on
his good roads system.
