A few minutes later Thompson and
his companion ehugged up to the hotel.
They were given a room beside Thaw's

All would have been well, no doubt,

Colebrook, who had recognized Thaw

The next morning Chief OF Police
Boudeau was on hand bright and early.
Thaw was nabbed as he came out OF

Such a plan would redound to the good of the convicts in health as we'll in training. They would not not compete with free labor for they would build roads as we would not otherwise get.

CONVICT LABOR ON
 THE PUBLIC ROADS
Problem For Road Builders
 Rather Than Law Makers


 blem for lawmakers; it is up to the road builders and prison off, cials of the state. There is no need to ask, "Can we work the convicts on the road?" The only question remaining now is, Gan we make it pay to work the con- victs on the roads?"
 Tee State or any county or road district organized under Act BOP of the last General Assembly, can use convicts on the roads. But the convicts have to be cloth ed and fed and guarded and this expense must be not from some source. The cost lof using con- victs in this state has usually been greater than the cost of free labor, and until methods are de- virsed which will reduce this ex- pense, no branch of the govern ment is going to use convicts to build roads to any great extent.
 A great many counties and road districts that have been us- ing conVicts in work cn roads have returned the men to the Penintentiary add in this way the number of convicts now con- fined there Is far more than can be proftably employed on the farm. Qcite number or our convicts have been given over to the State Highway Department for operating a rock crusher and still others could be spared for building roads, If somebody will show how 1t can be done without costing as much as free labor.
 In Georgia and Colorado is where we hear most of convict built roads, and in both these states, big appropriation are an- nually made to carry on the work. In other words, convict-built roads cost money just like other roads and in Arkansas it is a question whether they would not cost more than roads built with free labor.
 The cost of guarding conyicts at work on our roads has always been too great. It cost a great deal more ito guard men on a narrow road through woods than it does on prairie or through open Country. Also wess have never been able to get proper facilities for lodging and feeding prisoners in camps, sand the re- suit has been too much expense from sick and disabled med. We haven't succeeded anywhere in getting effecient work or per 1 feet results.
 In my opinion the best solution for the problem IS to use none but trusted convicts on the roads. There are now two hundred and fifty trusties in the Arkansas 1 Penitentiary. In other words one fourth of the convicts can be trusted to go anywhere without guard and might be sent out to work ron the roads exactly as free labcrers...
 1 believe that by proper man. agement one-half of the convicts sent to the penitentiary could be made trusties. The labor on the farm can be done by prisoners under guard, but labor under guard on the public roads is a wholly different problem.
 Wherever the State Highway Department finds roads to be built under it's supervision, it could use convicts. A gang of
