TRIM THE SCHOOLS FOR
PENAL INSTITUTIONS
This Is the Story Coming from the
e Kansas senate.

Topeka. Feb. 4.--If the inyesti-
cations OF the charitable and penal
institutions committee Of the senate
result In successful fight before
the ways and means committee, KAN
sas under the present administra-
ton viii distribute her appropria-
ton favors to the unfortunates Of
the state. The fortunates will have
TO be content with the lavish legis-
latures Of the past. In other words,
the members of the senate this ses-
sion feel that the penal and charita-
BILE Institution inmates should be
provided with more modern and
sanitary improvements. The sons
and daughters who are able to pro-
cure an education will have to post
pOne their marble and granite halls
until another meeting Of the legis-
lators.
The senate committee after q thor
ough investigation Of the state PEN
itentiary at Lansing, after a visit
to the blind school at Kansas City
and an inspection of the reforma-
tory at Hutchinson--this committee
has been taught new lesson in the
management of appropriations. It
has discovered that the blind and
the penal inmates are the real needy
of the state. The vast amounts that
have been spent in the improvement
and splendor of educational ipsti-
tutions will be shaved to the core.
The committees from both the
senate and the house spent Saturday
at Hutchinson viewing with amaze
ment the wonderful accomplishments
OF the young men at the industrial
the possibilities of

Topeka, Feb. A stringent Dill
regulating billiard and pool rooms

CODDING Policies ARE
IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR BOTKIN
He'll Try to Garry Ont Plans Of the
7 Present Warden.

Topeka, Feb. After q visit to
the state penitentiary at Lansing,
Jeremiah d. Botkin has only the
kindest words for Warden J. X
Coddlng, whom he is soon to sue
coed as head Of the big penal insti-
tuition. In so far as practicable,
Botkin expects to continue the poll
cies established by Codding and
serves notice before entering on the
duties of his new job that Kansas
should be ashamed Of her present
Institution and should request her
legislature to appropriate money
either to put the penitentiary in a
sanitary condition or to build a new
prison.
RI spent Thursday night with
Warden Codding at the prison" said
Botkin today, "and I found him a
big, broad, generous man and mas
ter of the situation. received from
him many courtesies and useful sug-
gestions and shall accept his very
kind and pressing invitation to spend
a week or two with him in thor
ough study of the problems that will
be mine after June /.
II am much impressed with the
evident wisdom and success of War
den Codding's administration. The
prison "a an Anticipated affair. This
is especially true of the cell houses.
They are nothing short of a dis
grace to the state. If all the voters
of Kansas could inspect these dis
ease breeding holes, they would
command their representatives to
make the appropriation of the patty
$4,000 asked for to improve these
conditions. 1t would be impossible
to conceive better sanitation with
such utter lack of facilities. And
I now serve notice on the people
Of Kansas that they will be appealed
to for this money either to modern
lie their penitentiary or to build a
new one.
las to my policy as warden, II
shall not attempt to pull Of a new
stunt or to create a sensation. II
shall endeavor quietly and firmly to
carry out the present program until
by study and experience may be
able to see opportunities for useful
changes and feel competent to de-
velop a policy of my own"

A brother Of the deceased died

societies would have been abolished
by the passage of the bill.

the administration bill, two Demo-
