New Prison Farm Notes
BY One of the Farmers.

Warden Wolfer was visitor at the farm
one afternoon last week.
Supt. Mullin enjoyed visit from his
sister and niece during the past week.
Supt. Mullin and the teamster put in
Saturday taking inventory of the stock,
machinery and crops on both farms.
The milk maids sure get all the punish
ment due them when it comes milking
time these days; for the flies seem to get
worse each day.
All the farmers put in time the past
week in grubbing weeds. 1t was slow,
tiresome work, and all were glad for a
change when it came.
Cutting wheat and oats on the ONeil
farm was finished Saturday. Just what the
harvest will be, is hard to tell, until the
grain is threshed out, but the prospects
are good for fair yield.
The Assistant Supt. put in a number
of days swinging an armstrong around the
edge of the farm, cutting down weeds.
He is so stuck on the job that he hopes it
will keep him busy until snow flies.
The Lightning Express created little
excitement in the New Prison yard one
day last week, by running away. Grand
pa came home late for dinner and had the
express all tied up with ropes and baling
wire. -.
Grandpa felt sore the other evening
when Dan Patch came home with his
1913 fly blanket. 1t was just about the
same thing that he worked so hard at last
Sunday, to cover the motive power of the
Lightning Express"
Tuesday afternoon, about FIVE o'clock,
the farmers had the pleasure of seeing
Edward P. Weston on his New York to
Minneapolis walk. The old hiker seemed
rather footsore and tired as he walked up
the hill past the farm.
Some one put bug in the Big Chief
ear that the Supt. said he was the best man
on the job, and for a long week the Chief S
head was so bwollen that he would not as
sociate with the rest of the bunch, but it
got too lonesome for him and he came
back.
Sunday afternoon we looked for plenty
of excitement at the farm, for our famous
broncho buster was billed to break in the
Warden's horse, Fox to the saddle.
There was no excitement. COX just
acted as if it was an every day affair to be
saddled and rode.

CHARLTON TRIAL
TO BEGIN SOON
(By Henry Wood. staff Correspondent
of the United Press.)

GENOA. Aug. 27.-Accompanied by
the two carabinieri who have not left
his side since he was taken from the
New Jersey prison on August IA. Por-
ter Charlton arrived here today on
board the Red Italia to stand trial
for the murder of his wife. Fears
that he might attempt suicide during
the voyage, rather than face the Ital-
ian courts, were entirely ungrounded
according to the carrabinieri.
The sea voyage had evidently bene-
fitted Charlton very much. He APP
peared in much better physical trim
even than when taken from New Jer-
sey. He declined positively to discuss
the case saying that it was matter
solely for his attorneys.
AS yet practically nothing has been
done by the Italian government tow
ards trying of the case. The depart
ment of justice preferred that Charl-
to should be actually in its jurisdic-
ton before ii should begin its work,
1t has not even been decided whether
he shall be kept at Rome or at Milan,
whichis nearer to Como where the
case will probably be heard, pending
the preliminary preparations
In general, it is not expected that
Charlton will be convicted although
very likely he will be judged insane
and disposed of accordingly. Owing
to the profound influence which Lom-
broso, the famous criminologist who
died a few years ago at Milan, had
upon Italian judicial life, conditions
are most favorable in italy for escap-
ing criminal convictions on pleas OF
mental irresponsability.
Lombrosos profound studies, which
have been recognized in all parts of
the world resulted in goodly part Of
the Italian criminal code being moji-
fled in favor of those who have be-
come criminals through inherent NOR
al or mental deficiency. Judges and
Jurors throughout Italy are also es-
pecially disposed towards this phase
of criminology in all cases heard by
them.
Should Charlton actually be brought
to trial he will be enclosed in a steel
cage in the court room as were the
famous Camorrists during their trial
at Viterbo. The usual carbinieri with
fixed bayonets will be constantly on
guard and will take the usual pre-
cautions to prevent the attempts at
suicide which so often happen in the
prisoners cage in the Italian court
rooms
Italian attorneys who have looked
up the case have succeeded in finding
preceent in Charlton's favor which
they say will unquestionably be in
troduced. An almost identical case
was tried several years ago in Italy,
when an italian named Olivietto MUIR
dered his wife, concealed the body in
trunk and threw 1t into a lake.
Lombroso, who was then alive and
was called as an alienist in the case,
demonstrated not only that the man
was mentally irresponsible but that
owing to peculiar conditions he was
perfectly harmless as far as society in
general was concerned. His complete
acquittal followed.
Should Charlton be convicted he
would probably be given the usual
penalty of life Imprisonment. This
carries with 1t seven years OF solitary
confinement which in Italy usually
proves fatal

FAST BOATS IN
RIVER CONTEST

HAMILTON, Ill. Aug 27-Some
day are competing in the annual re-
gatta of the Mississippi Power Boat
Association. Hundreds of boats from
all over the United States and Can
ada are entered in the events Sew
eral boat clubs which are represented
have chartered river steamers and
will make their headquarters aboard
them during the races. The course
is on Cooper Lake, which was enlarged
greatly by the hugs Keokuk dam
dedicated today. The course is IL
miles but later may be heightened to
five miles. A grand stand on the
bluffs overlooking the lake makes it
an ideal spot for water sports.
Commodore ]. Stuart Blackton,
whose Baby Reliance" set new rec
ords at Davenport, has two new Re
liances," in which he hopes to make
more than sixty miles an hour. The

Cremationists in session

DETROIT. Mich. Aug. 27.-The

G. w. Bennett, of the. WHY'S Overland
Co, of Toledo, Ohio. Since the ad-
vent of the automobile. the old Jokes
about harassed individuals being buried
under ~avalapches of railroad timetables
and literature, do not apply. Nearly
everyone is independent of the rail-

of spring no longer means the begin-

railroad and steamship folders, de-
serlbins, with more or less accuracy,
but much establishment, the wonders
and glories of various and sundry
summer resorts.
When March begins going out like
a lamb now. the first thought of the
prospective vacationist is, .How's the
car" He sees not visions Of long,
hot and dusty rides in a. stuffv rail-
road train to reach some overcroWd9d
summering place. What stretches be-
fore his imagination is the. vista of
cool, shaded country roads, green
fields, hills and valleys. How much
cooler and more beautiful are these
from the seat of a touring car than
from the coach window. And how
much more restful and pleasing is a
quiet secluded country place, far from
the beaten paths of travel, than the
usual summer resort, beleaguered by
tired and dusty and disgruntled vaca-
tionists.

eoUx AND cRossMAN TAKING THE BANK AT 100 MILES.

Indianapolis, April 26.-From Lon
don comes the exciting news hat the
Peugeot car which will be driven in
the third annual 500-mile international
sweepstakes race, May 80, has broken
all records for forty horse power cars
from a standing start for 10 laps on
the Brooklands track. The car was
driven by Jules Goux, who will be at
the wheel of the same car here next
May.
The fact that the car is the one
which will be pitted against the pick
of the American makes and also
against all corners from abroad makes
the performance of the. car one Of
intense interest to motorists. The
total time for the 10 laps on the big
Brooklands saucer was 16:4.90, or an
average of 1929 miles an hour. The
best half-mile average was at the as
founding pace of 1856 miles an hour.
The best kilo mark was 1915, while
the best mile mark was l06.29.

to postpone his long trial and make
only the 10-lap spin to try and break
the record made by the Talbot car.
The car got away from a standing
start and was soon picking up speed
on the saucer. When around the 100
mile mark the speed caused the car to
bounce badly and a loosened shock
absorber flew off and caused the break
in the gas feed pipe, necessitating the
postponement of the hour trial until
a later date.
The 10-lap record which fell was
held by Percy Lambert in a Talbot
and was made when he hung up the
hour record. The Peugeot beat the
10-lap record by 9.31 seconds. After
the gasoline pipe is repaired, Goux
asserts that he will break the hour
