Steel and copper missiles were
hurled about the room, in which 125
persons, mostly girls, were working.
The drum was used for the dry
ing of clothes just washed, which We're
~hirled about with such velocity as
to throw all the water out of them.
No explanation for the bursting of the
drum has been given, other than that
it broke under centrifugal pressure.
The drum weighed 400 pounds, was
lined with copper and had an outside
sheath of steel half an inch thick.
Jack Forgery, who was killed, was
working at a washer few feet
away when the drum burst. piece
of metal struck him, crushing his
skull.
The sound of the bursting of the
drum was heard seevral blocks away
and spear like missiles were thrown
a hundred feet. Such a panic was
created among the 500 employees in
the factory, that the establishment
was closed for the rest of the day.

The BREWERY WAGONS
They Can Cross state Line Till July
With Impunity.

Declaring that their wagons are
operated as common carriers under
the provisions of the interstate COM
merce laws, Kansas City brewers to-
injunction to prevent the seizure of
their wagons and arrest of their dri-
vers in Kansas City, Kansas. A tenn
porary restraining order was granted
by Judge John C. Pollock, the order
being effective until July 1, when the
application for a permanent writ will
be heard.
Brewery associations organized un-
der the laws of Missouri and of Illi-
nois entered into the application for
a writ, declaring that they are vio-
lating neither the Webb nor Mahin
law and are conducting their business
in accordance with the provisions of
the statutes. Yet their drivers have
been arrested, fined and sent to Jail.
and their wagons and liquors have
been seized and confiscated by the
police on the Kansas side of the river.
According to the petition filed today
in the United States district court in
Topeka, orders for liquors are received
at the Kansas City, Mo, offices by the
and deliveries made in wagons oper-
ated by the breweries. When delivery
is made receipts are required of the
consignee and regular reports are
dotte county clerk, under provisions
Of the Mahin law. But this effort to
conform with the provisions of the
law, it is claimed has not protected
the brewers and their drivers from the
Kansas City, Kansas, police, who ar
rest drivers and seize liquors under a
municipal ordinance. Relief is now
sought N an application for perma-
ncpt Injunction.
The application for an injunction is
aimed at Mayor c. w. Green and w.

TONERS in the application for writ
are: Kansas City Brewing company,
Dick Brothers of Quincy, Ill: George
Muehleback Brewing company: Peter

The question as to whether deliv-+
cry of liquor in wagons owned by the
brewers constitutes shipment as
common carrier under the interstate
commerce laws, is one of the impor
tant issues to be raised in the hear
ing on the issuance of the writ.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
County Jail Shows 1t, According to
Special Report.

For a number of years, and until
recently. conditions at the county jail
were far from being what they should
have been. That there has been a
wonderful improvement in them,
through the joint efforts of the county
commissioners and Sheriff Kiene, is
made apparent by report of the
jaiFs inspection which was presented
to the county commissioners today.
This inspection was made, as required
by law by a Judge of the district court
and the county attorney, and is a s fol-
lows:
To the Board of County Commissioners,
We beg leave to make a report of
condition of county Jail as disclosed by
our inspection, recently made for the
April term.
We are glad to note a marked i'm
provement of the county jail in every
respect. The Jail proper has been
cleaned and renovated, and is now in
fairly comfortable condition. The base
ment has been cleaned out and CO.
ment floor laid and accommodations for
a laundry esta blished, making it pos
sible for the blankets and bed clothing
of the Jail proper to be washed there
this is to regularly done. The base
ment is now clean and commodious
apartment of the Jail.
The residence portion has been
thoroughly renovated and put in
comfortable condition for the accom-
mediation of the sheriff and his family,
thus making the Jail a whole, in the
best condition for several years. We
also inspected the food that is being
served to the inmates of the jail, and
found it nourishing, we'll cooked and in
every way satisfactory. Credit for the
improved condition of things at the jail
is due to the honorable board and to
the sheriff.
The only recommendations we have
to make at this time. in addition to
recommendations made heretofore, are
that a proper canopy of some kind be
placed over the steps leading TO the
boiler room to shed the water in case
of storms, thus protecting the boiler
room and the foundations from the eff
feet of a food at that point at every
rain.
The law also expressly provides that
the inmates of the Jail shall
be provided with pillows and
pillow slips. This has never
been done so far we know.
The sheriff thinks 1t ought to be done,
and promises that all laundry work in
Herewith shall be done by
the inmates with no extra expense for
labor Respectfully submitted,
A. W. DANA.
Judge, First division.
W. E. ATCHISON.
County Attorney.

Ill Health Is No
Grounds for Pardon

Atlanta, May THAT the
state convict camps are not SAM
tariu4- IS and the ball and chain
are not cures. for all ills of the
flesh, is plainly set forth by Gov.
Joseph M. Brown in a statement
today, declaring that i'll health is
no ground whatever for pardon,
and that in convicting and SEN
fencing a man for a crime the
state is under no obligation to
guarantee that he will enjoy good
health for the rest of his days.
The governor made this state
ment in connection with his refu-
sal to pardon Berry Cannon, who
is serving a life sentence for muir
der.
II am unable to approve Glenn
ency," the governor declared.
''This seems to have been an un-
justifiable killing. The only rea-
son urged for releasing the man
from the penitentiary is i'll health.
If pardons were based solely on
this plea. practically all convicts
would soon be in the hospitals.
The state does not guarantee
good health to those immured
Tor crime. All persons out of
the penitentiary occasionally get
sick and ultimately die"
Cannon began his life term in
1907. 1t is now claimed that he
has tuberculosis.
