Absinthe Seems Doomed.

Paris, July S.-The committee COM
posed of members of the French SEN
ate has made certain amendments
to the bill aimed at the abolition
of absinthe and it will probably be
acted upon today as scheduled. The
French government aims to entirely
abolish the use of the green poison.
but the measure will probably meet
vigorous opposition when it reaches
the Chamber of Deputies, although
there are two bills in that branch
regarding the use of absinthe. The
increase in the drug has PARALLEL
the increase in the number of muir
ders committed, which have risen
from 396 in 1898 to $40 in 1911.

EXPENSE IS
REDUCED $4,000
ANNUAL REPORT OF WARDEN
DICK SUBMITTED TO GOVERN
OR CRUCE.

A decrease of more than $4,000
in the cost Of maintaining the CE~
lahoma state prison for the period
of one year is shown in a statement
jIst received by Gov Cruce fr"m
Warden R. w. Dick
While the big prison has cost no
small sum each year, attention IS
callei in the reporc 20 the fact that
it is the newest state prison Ia all
the country and the. much Of the
eXpen'e of building :i'd for 'meruus
other items will rover have to be
met e. in by the citize"i OF The
state. IN addition 10 this Wa den
Dick has rapidly systematized things
at the penitentiary, so far as the
conditions of so new an institution
would allow, so that every month eX-
penses are being reduced to the
minimum.
In view of the further fact that
none of the convicts are allowed
to work under contract for
manufacturing concerns and hence
produce no revenue for the common
wealth, as is the case in some states,
the cost of maintenance is shown to
be low. During the past year the
prison contained on an average of
$50 more convicts that ever before.
The exact figures on the most OF
maintenance for the past three years.
according to Warden Dicks report,
are as follows: Year ending June
80, 1910, $1SO,712.27; year ending
June 80, 1911, $3.50, ,19O.5O; year end
ing June 30 1912, $l73,410.95; or
SIS. 1885 less than for last year.
Some interesting details as to the
cost of maintaining the institution
are submitted in the report. For ex-
ample, the food consumed by the
prisoners for the past year cost
s57,Sl95S; clothing $1S,22699; mer-
chandise, $16,OsS.35; pay roll, $47,-
622.39; discharged prisoners, $l,933;
expense of prison livestock, $S,931.6O;
identification, S419.57; sundry expen-
ses, $22,37O31.
For the year just ended the daily
average was slightly more than 1,161
inmates and the daily cost Of keep
ing Them was as follows: Food, 1876
cents: clothing, 4.3 cents; merchan-
disc, 3S cents, electricity, 2.1 cents;
discharged prisoners, (money and clo-
thing on leaving) cents; salaries,
l1.2 cents; sundries "a cents. Total
