Noted Women HOnored

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A good example at the catholicty of
the merits honored by the award of the
Legion of Honor is shown in its bestowal
on Mme Paquin, who deigns in Paris
and elsewhere-as mistress of robes and
modes, and who is woman of much
philanthrophy and enterprise.
France has generously rewarded many
women with this special distinction,
among them being Rosa Bonheur, Mile.
Juliette Dodu, who possessed both the
cross of the legion and the military
medal, gained the distinction in 1870
She was telegraph clerk in an office at
Pithviers. and when the Germans took
possession of the place message to
Prince Frederick Charles was handed to
her. Instead of transmitting the mes
sage she destroyed it. and was ordered
subsequently, ordered her release and
complimented her on her courage
Mile. Bottard, who also received the
cross, had been attached to the Saple-
triere ward for nervous deases. and the
city of Paris gave her gold medal: Mile.
Toussaint, for many years head of the
Technical school for girls. was another
recipient; Nine. Dienlafoy was decorated
as an explorer and discoverer Of Persian
antiquities; Nine. Marie Laurent, the ac-
tress, was not thus honored for her
dramatic gifts. despite their distinction,
but for her patronage of an orphan asy-
lum. Napoleon T.. who created the order
on May 10. 1902. bestowed 1t on at least
seven women.

In Statement Candidate for
Governor Says 1t Is a
Relic of Barbarism
FAVORS PLACING THE
CONVICTS ON ROADS
Declares COnyicts Should Be Under
Control of State and Not Under
Management of Any Pri-
vate Corporation

Montgomery, June 1e.-(Special)--
Another statement on the "barbaric'
effects of the convict lease system was
issued today by John II. Wallace, Jr..
state game and fish commissioner, and
candidate for governor. Mr.. Wallace
terms the present system of working
convicts in mines a relic of barbarism
and asserts that the state has no right
to lease convicts for the purpose of
deriving revenue.
Under the plan which Mr. Wallace
advocates, he proposes that it shall be
written into the law of Alabama that
in the future the fixed policy of the
state shall be that the control and
management of Its convicts shall never
pass from it and it's public officials
into the control and mana cement OF
any private corporation or person."
Commissioner Wallace says that the
placing of 5000 convicts in construct
ing good roads would do away with the
necessity of the $4,000 that is avail
able annually out of the state treas
ury for the use of the state highway
department.
He quotes from a letter received from

of Georgia, who submitted Mr.. Wal

get information for it. The committee
brought out that charges had been filed

poyment with the territory of Hawaii.
The close of the afternoon session was
enivened by the reading of letter from
Senator Gronna of North Dakota. with
an editorial from a western newspaper
bearing the caption Not Cheap Skates
The editorial ridiculed the assertion of
Senator Kenyon that lobbies in Washing
ton were using social methods and that
the price of a senator's vote was a the
atre ticket or a dinner in cafe, and
declared that it was the coin of the
realm that gets a senator" Just ask
Senator Gronna about this 1t said.
