Cow Helms Wickersham

Washington. June 15.--A s4o Atlanta pen iteptary COW did $4 worth of damage to a neighboring truck farm not long ago and as a result Attorney General Wick ersham may spend his si90.ooo prison fund as he sees fit in the future. This was made possible by Representative Howard of Georgia who told the House today that the warden of the Atlanta peniten- tiary had to pay Si from his own pocket to get the government COW out of the pound because the wording of the law prevented the auditor for the department of justice from reimbursing the warden. To meet any contingency of a like na- ture In the future Mir. Wiekersham may use his discretion in handling the gov ernment's prison funds. The House spent an hour debating the COW question and finally the sundry civil appropriation bill was changed
