ate their systems Of roads in their
favor all the railroads OF this
country would quickly go into
bankruptcy.
We beg to say that their as
sumption and their .ears are
wrong in toto.
They are looking through the
wrong end OF the telescope.
1t is the interior that gives life
and vitality to the railroads OF
Florida and the railroads all over
this land-not the seaport cities.
! Where is the great crop OF
corn grown that feeds our tenn
Ing millions? Where is the grea:
cotton crop grown that furnishes
clothing for almost the entire
world? Where grows the hay
oats and barley, the horses, hogs
and cattleo Where are the ap-

GRADED SCHOOLS
 N PENITENT|ARY Nebraska Warden Says 1t is One of Best Means of Securing Discipline
 and Helping Prisoners.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 13.-Under the supervision of State Supt. Del zell, the night school at the Nebraska penitentiary has just been reorganiz.- ed, and for the first time in the his tory of the institution the classes to- day are on basis similar to those in the graded schools. and the convict pupils are striving to gain admission to the grades above them.
 There are six. grades or divisions. the last one including those men whose former training has fitted them for high school or college work. The lowest grade corresponds to the first grade in the public schools, and those in it are learning the alphabet. with the dream of learning to read and write spuring them on to hard study. Most of the prisoners are in the divls- ion corresponding to the second and third grades in the public schools,

About third rf the prisoners requested permission to take the work Their department in the school room has been good and their eagerness to learn gratifying to their instructors Warden Fenton favors the night school on the ground that it makes for better discipline and de- pertinent at the institution, as well as fitting the men better to care for themselves after they regain their liberty.

TANNER WOULD DO
 TT NovER AGAIN

''I would sign the letter that seven members of the Territorial Senate sent to Secretary of the Interior Franklin K Lane again if conditions were the same as they were last spring." said Senator J. M. Tanner, of Skagway, who is in Juneau. Tt is simply absurd to say that the idea of opposing a government railroad in Alaska ever entered our minds. We already had gone on record in favor of it, and the letter was sent so that it would be made clear that we were not trying to put over something in favor of the principle of government ownership on those who were opposed to that principle, but that we had act ed simply and solely in behalf of a railroad for Alaska.
 We also wanted the Secretary of the Interior to know that we would favor almost any plan that he and the might work out that would give Alaska the railroads that the situation demands that We should have. ."-Juneau Empire.

MANY MEN VISIT
 THIS MAYS WIFE
Order to Keep Them Away Names 12 Correspondents.

NEW YORK, March 13.-One of the strangest and most sensational of the many strange and sensational divorce cases that New York has known, was brought into court today when attor- neys for Joseph K. Stonebreaker, prominent merchant, formerly of Bal timore, argued for an injunction to restrain 12 men, named as co-respon- dents in his petition for divorce, from visiting his wife pending settlement of his divorce suit.
 The hearing today attracted not on ly big crowd of curious spectators, but lawyers also took great interest in the legal side. They declared that action by petitioner in asking that visitors of the opposite sex from the defendant be restrained from payin$ attention to the latter, is without pre- cedent in New York courts. if not in any American court.
 Among some of the men named in Stonebreaker's petition against Con stance Stilwell Stonebreaker, and who probably will be witnesses are Big Bill" Edwards, ex-street cleaning commissioner of New York, who cap tured the assassin Gallagher when the latter attacked the late Mayor Gay nor; Alexander R. Peacock, Pitts burgh millionaire, and B. Clifford Kline, brother of Mayor Ardolph Kline. who, as president of the Board of Aldermen. succeeded to the un- expired term of Mayor Gaynor when the latter died last fall.

S|ECEL SI0RES

District Judge Refuses to Allow Them to Remain Open When Indict-
 ments Are Returned.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Judge Learned Hand, of the United States district court, today ordered the two New York stores of the Siegel Stores corporation closed following the ind ing of 50 indictments against Henry Siegel and Frank Vogel, the owners of the stores.
 The closing of the Simpson-Craw- ford store and the Siegel Company store on 14th street has put 5000 people out of work.
 The creditors of the company had hoped to continue the business, as the good will of both stores was reck- oned as worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and because of the closing down of the establishments thei1 value has dropped to just the sale value of the stock and fixtures at forced sale.
 The business houses who have sold to the Siegel department stores of fered to pay all the bank depositors 30 per cent and give them notes with a mortgage security for the balance. but before the deal could be put through the court ordered the stores closed and it is not expected that any plan can now be arranged to save the depositors or the mercantile creditors

BANDIT
 SAYS BE GOVERNOR
Served Ten years in Penitentiary and Was Famous Outlaw-Promises
 Good Government.

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 13.-An- nouncing his platform in statement that takes up barely ten lines of sin gle-column printed matter, Al. Jen- nings who served ten years in the Ohio penitentiary, and former leader of the famous Jennings gang of In dian Territory outlaws, is taking first place among the seven men who have already formally entered the race for the Democratic nominatio for sover nor of Oklahoma. Jennings is being bitterly fought by the socalled Den- ocratic machine. His race, barely be- gun. promises to be one of the most spectacular ever seen even in the pol itics-ridden state of Oklahoma
 The other candidates include |: judge of the supreme court, Robert l.. Williams, of Durant; supreme court commissioner, Judge J. B. A. Robert son, of Chandler; an attorney genel- al, Charles West, of Enid; a. secretary of state, Ben F. Harrison, of Calvin; a state treasurer, R. l.. Dunlap, of New Kirk; and ranchman-banker, F. F. Herring, of Elk City. Rumor has it that 9 former governor and United States commissioner may also decide to enter the race
 Jennings says he is certain to win He believes as firmly as it is possible for any man to believe anything tha, he will be the next Overnor of the state, where thirty years ago there was price on his body, dead or alive. In the last election of Oklahoma coun- ty he ran for prosecuting attorne,. He secured the nomination on the Democratic ticket and lost the cleo, ton by only 800 votes with 14.00o cast Jennings says the high up criminals and the elections jndge;' stole the office from him. However that may be, it is evident that the otp- CT candidates fear him above any oth- CT one man. On returning from the penitentiary, he reviewed his studies in law, was given back his citizen, ship by President Roosevelt and he has made good in the profession in a big way. His enemies have been un- able to produce evidence that he has not lived straight life since he was pardoned from the penitentiary.
 A year ago he had a suite of rooms in the State National Bank building at Oklahoma City. He had an incoNle of S5, 900 a year. He was one of the leading criminal lawyers of the state with all the business he could attend to, Clisnts came to him from all parts of Oklahoma. Today he has two little dark rooms in the back of an obscure old brick building on North Broadway. His neighbors are second rate dentists and dresenaakers. A creaky old stairway leads the way
