Atlanta penitentiary was an ideal
place for confinement. Then came the
accusation of Hawthorne and Dr. Nor
ton with unexpected suddenness-
Hawthorne and Morton talked par
ticularly of insufficient and poorly pre-
pared food. charging that men actual
Iy were deprived of necessary susten-
ance in order that a good financial
statement might be made Hawthorne
talked dramatically of the hole" in
which recalcitrant prisoners we're con-
fined. As he drew the picture OF this
Place of solitary confinement it was
hot, dark dungeon where men were
strapped by their wrists and left for
hours upon the slightest provocation-
Hawthorne told of the case OF an old,
half-witted prisoner whom he called
"Grea. Britain" the name by hich
he is generally known among the pris-
on inmates. Great Britain he said,
was constantly subjected to incarcera-
ton in the hole when, because of
his mental faint, he was not respon-
s.ble for his actions.
Hawthorne and Morton left Allan
Ia within two hours after their re-
lease from the penitentiary- Hardly
had they left. however, when echoes
of their denunciatiors were heard.
From Congressman Howard came
the statement that he believed most
of the charges against the prison and
would see that an Investigate IN was
ordered. A former gaurd at the pen
itentiary declared that conditions were
just as Hawthorne and Morton had
described them. A letter was taken
from a New York italian paper. writ
ten by a former prisoner, who COM
planned of the food and the hole"
On the other hand there was con-
siderable defense of Warden Meyer.

quested an investigation. Mrs. l..

To outward appearances The prison
IS remarkable. Every prisoner has
work to do, and most of the work is
some form of manual labor. There

THE SOUTHERN CROSS.
Its Name Does Not Quite Fit This
Wondrous Constellation.

The Southern Cross, wonderful alike
to those living in the southern half
of the world and to the tourist thereto.
is one of the most conspicuous and in
teresting of all the southern confgura-
tions.
Situated at distance OF about 30
degrees from the south pole. it is plain
ly visible in all regions south OF the
equator and also TO some distance
north. about as far as the tropic OF
Cancer. The farther south one travels
the higher IN tire heavens will appear
the cross, and naturally the more con-
spicuous il becomes.
II seems to have received its name,
not like the northern consultations
from the ancients, but, like most of the
southern CONGREGATIONS. from the Por-
tuguese nayigators. during their ez-
nlorafinns into the southern waters.

ALEXANDRIA, IN CUBA
William A. Merchant Has Notable Ca
reer in Finance.

Atlanta, Ca, April 22.-The two
principal banking institutions of Cuba
have southern men at their heads says
the current issue Of the Southern
Banker, of Atlanta, Ga. William A.
Merchant, of Virginia, is president of
the National Bank of Cuba, and Nor
man H. Davis, of Tennessee, is presi-
dent of the Trust Company of Cuba.
Mr.. Merchants recent election to
the presidency of the National Bank
of Cuba places a southern man at the
head of the largest financial institu-
ton on the island. The bank MAIN
tains branches in all the principal
poin':s and is a strong factor in the
trade between Cuba and the states.
He was born in Alexandria, Va, in
1862, and after graduating from St.
Johns Military Academy in that city
began his business career as railroad
telegraph operator. After a short SER
vice he was promoted to the company's
general office and passed eight years
a sa member of the executive staff.
From the railroad Mr. Merchant went
to r. G. Dun G. Co., and for thirteen
years WIS manager Of various of their
branches in the United States. In 1899
he was made general manager of the
of the West Indies, with
a territory extending to the South
American coast. The latter position
he resigned to accept the vice-presi-
lency Of the National Bank Of Cuba.
Mr.. Merchant has ben prominently
identified with affairs, ever since he
went to Cuba and his career since be-
coming an officer in the National Bank
Cuba has been noteworthy one.

RETROCESSION AGAIN.
Proposition to Bring Suit in the Su-

Hannis Taylor, former Minister to
Spain, and John Joy Edison will call on
President Wilson this afternoon to
lay before him the proposition to be-
gin suit in the Supreme Court of the
United States for the retrocession of
the land in Alexandria county to the
District of Columbia. In the last days
of President Taft's administration the
matter was discussed and the feasibil-
ity of entering such suit considered,
but no action taken.
Former Attorney General Wicker
sham believed the proper course of
procedure ito reacquire the territory
was by congressional action. The va
rious plans for doing this will be pre-
scented by Mr. Edison, so that the views
of Washington business men can be
given.

BOUND BY THE CAUCUS
Minority Will Adhere to Tariff Board
Report on the Wool and Cotton
Schedules.

Washington, April 22.-Congress-
man Underwood will render to the
House this afternoon the Democratic
tariff bill, as agreed upon by the
party caucus. The full Ways and
Means Committee held meeting
during the forenoon, and the minor
ity members, for the first time, were
permitted to take a hama in the lar

The minority members were Civ

and vote "no" on the Democratic
bill; then the majority vc';ed "aye"
and instructed Mr.. Underwood to re-
port the measure.
The Democratic majority is bound
by the caucus to sand by the Un-
derwood bill, and it will 60 Through

House, adhering to the tariff board
report on the wool and cotton sche-
dulles will be substitutes for schedu-
les for K and l in the Underwood tar
iff bill when the measure comes at
final vc;e in the lower body.
A course of action. rather than
non-action, was decided upon at a
conference of the Republican men,
bers held last night. The conference
voted down a resolution offered by
Congressman Moore of Pennsyl-
vania. which declared, in effect, that
the Republicans should permit the
Democrats to revise the tariff in
Their own way, and that the minority
should not feel callea upon to sub
nit substitutes for any schedules in
the Democratic bill.
Mr. Moore and Mr.. Fordney argued
in vain that such a course on the
part of the minority might bring
embarrassment two years hence
provided Republicans again obtain
control of the house. The confer
ence postponed action until Thurs
day night on the cotton bill, but it
approved the wool bill supported by
the minority during the last session
of Congress.
