without guards-some 300 miles away from the
prison-have created national reputation for
loyalty. Less than one per cent have violated
their pledges by successful escape Communi
ties no longer fear to have convict camps
established near them We have made manhood
as well as money by this healthy, hearty out
door labor. We have built the prisoners up both
physically and morally, Men discharged from
our road camps do not have the prison pallor,
the physical weakness and the hesitating, hang
dog appearance OF the typical discharged con-
Wet. They are bronzed, sturdy healthy, efficient
laborers and are in demand as such. About so
per cent. of those have sent from the camps
on the completion of their terms have made
good. The other 20 per cent have mostly found
their way back into prison elsewhere"
Under the Colorado system, the convict is
allowed ten days off his sentence for each month
of labor performed on the roads. This is in
addition to the usual reduction made for good
behavior There are other incentives for the
convcts to so conduct themselves that they will
be put at work on the roads, according to War
den lyman. For one thing" he says, the man
who is allowed to leave the prison for the road
camp practically has seen the last of prison II
he conducts himself properly. His food is bet
ter, his clothing is better, He has not constant
ly before his eyes the guns of the guards to
remind him that he is convicted criminal and
has no place in society. His selfrespect re-
turns, he is taught selfrelance and sustained
application, and these things enable him to take
his place among other people and do mans
work when he is released from prison"
As to the economic side of the question, War.
den lyman is just optimistic He declares
that the state has saved a large amount OF
money and that it will save hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars during the next ten years
through the of convict labor on the roads.
With reference to the cost of maintaining the
convicts in the road camps, Warden lyman gives
some statistics.
In one of our camps he says 1--WE worked
35 men, not including the camp help one month
The maintenance of each of these men cost thu
state exactly % cents per day. The total cos
of all the work for the month, including salaries
care of stock, feed for teams and cost of equiv
ment was S515.15, or 471a cents per day pc
man. Had this number of men been employed a
the standard wage rate of 50 per day, the cos
of wages alone would have heen 81 632. So

In New Jersey the convicts are handled lit
tie differently, but the object is the same, Here
the guards have not thrown away their guns
but the firearms not in evidence and the
casual visitor to the convict camp scarcely can
tell which are the keepers and which convicts.
Woodrow Wilson, when he was governor of
New Jersey thought he way to solve some
of the problems presented by the state prisons.
He outlined his idea to the state prison labor
commission and turned to that body, togeth-
er with the state road commissioner the task
of working out his ideas. The result of President
Wilson's suggestions is Don't Worry Camp" the
first of the road convict camps to be established
in New Jersey.
This is very much like any other summer
camp, except that it is better equipped One
large room holds the convicts beds, while in
projecting ell there is space for five guards,
whose beds are placed that every square foot
of the convicts quarters can be seen through a
glass partition. This is the only suggestion OF
surveillance except for the locks that are placed
on the doors at night The conyicts' room con-
tains a showerbath and other facilities. The
ventilation is scientific and the floor, walls cell
ing and beds are spotless. Two former ehefs'
conycts, preside in the kitchen and prepare
the meals which include meat twice day and
plenty of fresh vegetables

nan sun cult, was found guilty On Fri
day by jury in Federal Judge Mack's
court, following his sensational trial
on charge of violating the interstate
commerce law through the shipment
of his book, Inner Studies" via ex-
press.
Counsel for Hanish made the usual
motion for a new trial The date for
hearing on this motion will be fixed
by Judge Mack upon his return to Chi
cago. Fixing of the penalty rests with
the court. The conviction carries with
it as a maximum penalty fine Of S.
900 or five years in the penitentiary, or
both.
At the same time that this action
was taken in regard to the motions for
a new trial the defense asked that the
defendant be permitted to remain at
liberty on his present bond OF $1O,-
900 until such time as the question OF
the new trial motion is disposed OF.
The MezdaZnan sun cult, of which
Hanish is the founder, long has been

ARMY TRIUMPHS OVER
NAVY BY SCORE 22-9
Soldiers Spring Surprise of Year by
Defeating Salors-Cutclassed

New York, Dec 2.-The president OF
the United States and members of his
cabinet, together with $4,000 patriotic
Americans, surrounded the gridiron in
the Brush stadium on Saturday and
saw the West Point football eleven
furnish stunning surprise by con-
quering the midshipmen from Annapo-
lis by score of % to 9.
From the standpoint of the specta-
tor. the game and its setting lost moth
ing of its thrilling grip and interest as
a result, and the $4,000 persons pres
ent gasped and cheered by turns at the
kaleidoscope playing scenes depicted.
The uses of the forward pass repeat
eddy by the cadets opened up the play
to a far greater extent than the more
conservative line attack and runs OF
the middies, thus furnishing the spec
tators with many brilliant football pic
lures and the army a vehicle of VIC
tory. 1t was in the execution OF this
play that the army advantage lay and
the final score demonstrates how sue
cessfully it was worked.

MANY DECISIONS
BY SUPREME COURT.
Illinois Child Labor Law Is
Held Valid.
INDIANA COURTS UPHELD
Decides State Courts Had Right to
Prevent Government and Others
From Submitting New Con-
seitution to Voters.

Washington, Dec 3.-The Illinois
child labor law, which prohibits the
employment of boys under sixteen
years of age, at dangerous occupa-
tions, was declared valid in decision
of the Supreme court Monday.
Justice Hughes, who delivered the
opinion, said that manufacturers OF
Illinois could be compelled by the
state "at their peril to ascertain the
ages of children employed by them
and declared there could be no possl-
BILE constitutional objection to the law.
That the state courts of Indiana had
the right to prevent the government
and state officials from submitting to
the people for adoption a new consti-
tuition framed by the legislature in
1911, was the decision of the Supreme
court.
That the government is entitled,
under the federal corporation tax act
20 collect income sums Of revenue
from mining corporations operating
in the United States was the sub
stance Of an opinion by the Supreme
court.
The fight of the so-called book trust
to maintain arbitrary sale prices on
copyrighted books eliminated in de-
cisoh in the Supreme court in which
the court held against the trust. The
main question at issue was as to
whether the trust should have a
copyright monopoly in the sale OF
such books.
The Supreme court decided that the
city of New York has the right to tax
bank stock owned by banks of other
states The question was brought be-
fore the court by the Amoskeag Saw
ings bank of Manchester, N. Fl.
The Supreme court decided that the
Kentucky law taxing credit compan'
les 500 annually was constitutional
and therefore is not an interference
with the interstate commerce regula'
tions.
Affirmed the right of the United
States customs officers to seize and
declare forfeited goods imported un
der fraudulent consular invoices and
undervalued by the consigners, even
though the consignee may be entirely
innocent of any wrong. Government

may be forfeited the minute they reach

brigade commanded by General Yves

Eighty-fifth New York One Hundred

and six companies from other regi-
ments, in all 2,400 men, The position
was fairly fortified, with three gun
boats In the water to assist the garrf-
son, and it was felt that this would
be sufficient, but the enemy had built
an ironclad ram, the Albemarle, and
collected a force of three brigades.
under Gen. r. f. Hoke, numbering In
all at least 1000 men. For some rea-
son our people knew nothing Of this
gathering of forces, nor Of the strength
of the Albemarle. April IL. 1864, Hoke
suddenly appeared at the same time
as the ram came down the river and
attacked Fort Warren, the upriver
outpost. One Of our vessels went to
the assistance of the fort, but was
quickly disabled. Hoke pushed down
a mile and attacked Fort Vessels, but
was repulsed several times in his as
saults. However, the enemy surround
ed the fort and got within zoo yards
of it, while the Albemarle ran by Fort
Warren, rammed the Southfield and
sunk her. and then disabled the Mi
ami, killing her captain, Lieut.-Com-
mander Flusser. The Albemarle then
shelled the garrison, the attack on the
forts was renewed, and, though the
enemy lost heavily, they were carried.
and the Confederates reached the
town, SO that Vessels was compelled
to surrender, giving up about 1900
prisoners, 25 guns, 1000 small arms
and much valuable stores. The Con-
federates admitted loss of only 800,
but our people estimated 1t at 1000.
The prisoners were taken to Anderson
vile, where most Of them died.
