In the Senate, Friday.

When the order introduced by Senator
Allen of Kennebec, which provides that
100 instead of SEQ copies shall be ordered
printed of all acts and resolves. came up,
Senator Morey of Androscoggin, OBJ
jeeted on the ground that this would in
volve an unnecessary expense. He
thought that $50 copies would be more
than would be needed except in the case
of comparatively few important measures.
The order was finally tabled and assign
ed for hearing, Monday afternoon.

Senator Hersey explained that it had
been believed that the resolve in favor OF
De Forrest Keyes had been referred to
this Legislature at the last session, but II
had been found that it had been indefi-
ntely postponed and was therefore not
properly before the committee at the
present time He, therefore, introduced
a new resolve like the old one and this
was referred to the committee on judi
ciary.
President Milliken announced the mem

WOULD EMPLOY PRISONERS.
Bill to Be introduced by Rep. Scates
Advocates This Action.

In the House, next Monday after
noon. Mr.. Scates of Westbrook will in
troduce an act to authorize the en-
ployment of county prisoners. A
synopsis of the act follows:
County commissioners may place
the prisoners of county jails at work
on the highways and shall do so when
8 per cent of the voters of the re-
spective counties petition them to do
so.
The county commissioners shall
make rules and regulations and APP
point overseers and keepers to look
after them and be responsible for their
custody. In imposing sentence. the
court may exempt such prisoners as
they think best and such prisoners
shall be exempt when present a certifi-
cate from physician that they are
unfit for such labor.
The necessary tools and clothing
shall be supplied to the prisoners. The
State Highway Department, or the
municipal officers of the towns, may
apply for the services of such prison.
ers.
This Act applies to county prisoners
only, and does not apply to the prison.
ers in the State penitentiary at
Thomaston.
The inmates of the county jails are
short-term prisoners, and are not, in
most instances, real criminals, but are
people sentenced for vagrancy, drunk
enness and similar infractions of the
law
1t would not be necessary for the
prisoners to wear the prison garb but
they could be dressed in the ordinary
workmen's clothing. 1t is estimated
that there are 400 such able bodied
men in the county jails of the State.
They could be placed in such employ
ment. This is from the reports of the
county jailers. OF every county in
quiries have been made of each sheriff
in the counties for their opinions in
regard to the effect of such work on
the prisoners and in nearly every in
stance the sheriffs have advised that
in their opinion it would be for the
physical and moral welfare of the in
mates of the prison; besides the coun-
ty would receive the benefit of their
labor.
There is almost a universal senti-
ment among the people who are in
terested in the welfare of the prison.
ers that it would be much better to
get the prisoners out from the damp,
dark prison walls, inhaling as they do
the vitiating air of the prison, on to
the streets where they could be in the
sunshine and inhaling pure air.

PROGRESS R A p DL Y.
Strikes Snag on Metal Schedule
Subject of Controversy Postponed
TO Next Tuesday.

Washington. Sept. l3. - Further
rapid progress on the tariff bill to-
day was expected by the Democratic
confcrees of the House and Senate
when they convened at 10 o'clock.
The confcrecs worked Steajily yeSter-
day. and got along so well that they
hope to wind up their work in about
one more week.
The schedules which they have
agreed on are chemical. earthenware,
tobacco. wool. and agricultural, with
the exception of the proposed banana
tax and the coutervaiing duty on
wheat. The sugar schedule. with lis
provision FOR free sugar in three
wears. was approved.
For the most part, the House Is
accepting the lower rates Of the Sen
ate. In some cases, where Chairman
Underwood insists too much revenue
has been cut Off. the higher House
rates are being accepted.
\ snag was struck in the metal
schedule. The House leaders insist
that the Senate action in placing fer
ro-manganese, pig iron, steel ingotS,
slabs ami boomS on the free list be
reccded from. They contend too
much revenue has been sacrificed.
This subject of controversH has gone
over until Monday.
The general rates in the liquor
schedule were approved, but the con-
trovcrsy over the revenue tax on
brandieS used to fortify sweet wines.
is not yet adjusted. California wine
growers are making fight against
the Senate provision imposing the
full revenue tax of $l.l0 a gallon on
such brandies.

THIEVES STILL

Detectives Move South in
Effort to Locate Stolen
Money.
PASSED ALEXANDRIA.
Loss Not Discovered Until Train
Reached Savannah Mysterious
Robbery Battling Officers.

Richmond, Va, Sept. Especial
agents of the Southern Express Co.,
| who are investigat ting the theft of
S1l 900 from an express car on the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. some
where between Jersey City and Sd
vannah, started from the latter city
yesterday to meet Pinkerton detect
ives in this city, who have been work
ing on the case since the robbery was
reported on Thursday. While the
Richmond office of the Company has
not been advise of the movement of
the detectives, they are expected in
Richmond this morning. Just what
they expect to find here has not beer
explained, but it is known that the in
quiry will extend along every line of
track over which the car passed on its
trip from Jersey City to the South.
In many respects the robbery is the
most battling with which the express
people have been called upon to deal.
The money, which was shipped by the
Chase National Bank of New York to
the Savannah Bank and Trust Co.,
was placed under lock and seal in
portable safe in the office of the
Adams Express Company, on Broad
way, New York, and hauled to Jersey
City, where it was placed aboard the
through eynrcss car.
When the safe reached Savannah it
was found that the seal was unbrok-
en-, but when the contents were
brought forth the money was not
there. Express Company officials said
yesterday that this was one phase Of
the case which was beyond their
understanding. The key to the safe
is always sent in the car under a
separate seal, the report here being
that the key was found intact, its seal
unbroken. The only explanation to
be offered, if the money really left
New York, is that a skeleton key
was used, and in some inexplicable
manner duplicate seal was put on
the safe after it had been robbe1.
While the seals on the outside of
the steel trunk showed that they had
not been tampered with. the sealed
envelopes in which the money was
contained when it left New York were
slit open.
