STRICT IN PRISON
Leonard Causes More Rigid
Discipline at Federal Pen.
More Shower Baths Ordered
Installed at Once.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 6.-As a re-
suit of an order issued by Attorney
| General WickerSham on recommended
tlon OF Major Henry Leonard, special
investigator at the United States peni-
| tentlary, taking the trusty prisoners
from the gates and replacing them
with guards, forty prisoners were
! locked In the cells today for the rea-
| son, II is said, that no guards to take
| charge of them for outside work were
| avallab bic 1t is said that seventy-ffve
others will be compelled to remain in
their cells today
One hundred and forty men who have
been employed in the shale pit outside
the walls have been called in because
there were no guards for them. The
men have been given employment at
| odd jobs inside. planned from day to
day by the officials.
Another recommendation by Major
Leonard that is causing prison Off
Gals worry is that prisoners be given
more frequent baths. By furnishing
enough water for one bath a week for
each prisoner in the winter the boilers
are taxed to their full capacity. To
comply with the Investigators request,
1t VIII be necessary to install shower
baths smaller in diameter that will
need less water per bath. By doing
this 100 more shower baths can be in
stalled.
Stories of Leonard's Cruelty.
The reason given for a recent dis
turbance in the dining room is that the
1,2OO prisoners have formed u dislike
for Major Leonard, based on stories of
cruel punishment at Portsmouth pri-
son, at Portsmouth, Mass, of which
Major Leonard was warden. Three
men now in the prison were prisoners
there under Major Leonard. Major
Leonard is id to have recommended
more rigid discipline in the manner in
which the men enter the dining ROOM
1t is said that the Investigator
charges the warden and deputy warden
with being too lenient with the pri-
soners and guards and recommends
that there be a general tightening of
prison rules and regulations. The Of
ficials refuse to discuss the investiga-
ton further than to say that Major
Leonard comes here with full power to
carry on his work in his own way and
to make such recommendations as he
sees fit.
For the past few days Major Leonard
has been making an investigation OF
the accounts of the institution. He
said today that he had found no evil
dence of anything being wrong.

CRAY HAIR TURNS ITS NATURAL
COLOR AFTER APPLYING SAGE TEA

Some druggists make their own, but
it's usually too sticky, so insist upon
getting "Wyeths" which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair and is the best
remedy for dandruff, dry, feverish
itchy scalp and TO stop falling hair.
Folks like "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur" because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair, as
it does it so naturally and evenly, says
a well known downtown druggist
You dampen a sponge or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at a time. This
requires but a few moments, by
morning the gray hair disappears and
after another application or two is
restored to it's natural color and looks
even more beautiful and glossy than
ever-Ady.

Suspected SIayers of Sam Reed in
Custody Today.

Pittsburg, Kan. Feb. 6.-That two OF
three men will be in jail here tonight
charged with murder. of Sam Reed,
the contest case Interpreter, was the
opinion expressed by officers here.
Neither County Attorney Keller nor
Coroner Nichols would say what evil
dence they will present to the coron-
er's jury today, but it is known that
they have important facts to submit.
1t is said that several men who were
with Sam Reed Sunday night have told
conflicting stories. The officers say
they have established the fact that two
men were with Reed when he met his
fate.
A development having important
hearing on the case was the discovery
that Reed refused to take the stand
in the contest hearing, declaring that
he would be killed if he did so. He
was not forced to take the stand.

WHEAT CONDITION is GOOD.
Northwest Kansas Farmers Raise More
Forage Crops.

out northwestern Kansas is in fine con-
dition. The heavy SHOWS of the winter
fell evenly and melted slowly and were
thoroughly taken up by the soil. While
wheat is not as advanced as it usually is
at this time of year, yet conditions are
above the average. The acreage of wheat
is not large this season in the past,
more people depending forage. The
past season was a profitable one. More
farmers are raising kafir milo maize and
cane. The corn crop was not heavy, but
a large amount of corn will be marketed.
There never has been time when there

stock than now. Take it all in all, far
mers will go into the crop season of 1913

statistics also show that the school at
tendance is 63 per cent larger than last
year"
Evidences Of prosperity are also re
ported by Platt throughout the Yuma
bottoms, as well as all along the South
ern Pacific in Arizona and New Mexico.
He is especially loud in his praise Of
the work being done by the Tucson
Farms Company around that city to
bring the waste land under cultivation.
''They take a big acreage of rough
land" says Platt, land carve 90 and
40-acre farms out of it. Then they
put in crops and erect buildings and
invite you to move in on the deferred
payment plan. 1t is certainly making
that country BOOM"
Plat also reports confidence IN min
ing circles. Especially interesting is
his report Of a rich copper strike n,
the Calumet and Arizona Mining Com
pany in the AjO mountains, 43 miles
south and a little west of ella, much
farther west than the usually recog-
nized copper district. r. A. Crandone

Columbus a Jew

PARIS. June 16.-Enrique Arribas !
Turull, Spanish historian, has published
a brochure in which he states as the
conclusion of his latest researches
among original documents that Chris
tOpher Columbus was a Jew, and not
an Italian. Corsican nor Spaniard, as
has been variOusiy contended in the
controversy whicn has lasted for cen
turieS.
Arribas says that Columbus was born
at POntevadra and not in any of the
s Italian towns formerly disputing the
honor of being his birthplace. Eight
cen documents dated 1913 to 1928 es-
tablish Columbus as a native of Ponte-
vedra and the diScOyerer merely posed
as a Gcnoese for policy.
In his mothers family the mems
names are Abraham. Eleasar. Jacob
and Benjamin. His mothers first name
was Susanne, then used only by He
breWs. Columbus was intimate with
DR.. Levy. the benefactor Of Ijus San
tages and other we'll known Jews. His
literary style is extremely Jewish, con-
sistently citing the Old Testament.
Arrbas contends that if Columbus
had been known as Jew the church
would have prevented his discoveries.
The historian believes that perhaps
the great sailor was prompted by re
hg' Gus motives, his incentive toward
discovery being the desire to find the
promised land.

Los Angeles Times: With a mole
book filled with data showing the con-
tinued southwestward march of mate
rial prosperity, General Superintendent
Platt of the Southern Pacific returned
Friday from a weeks tour of Arizona

he made to the management some
weeks ago on business conditions in
Southern California.

stated Platt yesterday "In fact, the
Southwest reeks with it. Take the
Mexican end of the Imperial valley, for
