Features Of Wilson's Plan.
Besides the provision for an inter
state trade commission, the prohibi
tion of interlocking directories. and
reduction of the "debatable area" OF
the Sherman law. three hithertoo un.
announced features of the president S
plan are:
/. The prohibition Of holding compa-
mics. Corporations would be forbidden
to own or hold shares or be interested
in the business of actual competitors
or cognate concerns, and the acquisi'
tion of stock or interests in non-Com-
petitive concerns would be possible
only with the consent Of the interstate
commerce commission or the proposed
Interstate trade commission.
2. Empowering the interstate COM
merce commission to regulate and su-
pervise the issuance of securities by
the railroads. so that the public would
exercise, through the commission, a
certain control over the future uses
TO which the money obtained from the
issue OF stocks or bonds would be put.
,. Wherever, at the instance Of the
government, either civil or criminal
proceedings, the courts have rendered
Judgment on the unlawfulness of any
combination, individuals or concerns

cation and not be required in their
suits to prove again the Illegally Of
the combination.
Wants Reform in Friendly Spirit.
The president has dealt with those
general principles on which he be-
lieves public sentiment is agreed that
correction is necessary. He has en-
phasized that a spirit of friendliness
rather than hostility should character
ize the method of approaching the
work of reform. To this end the presi-
dent himself, it was learned, is be
hind the announced program Of public
hearings on the proposed bills.
The president has made it plain to
Chairman Clayton of the house judi
ciary committee that the business
world should be given full opportunity
TO express it's views.
The president is anxious, too, that in
the legislation ample time should b.
given in all cases for business to ad-
Just itself to new conditions. even to
period OF from one to two years.

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
Commercial Club and Board in Get
Together Meeting

Road Improvement prospects are
bright in Mahaska. A cordial spirit
OF cooperation exists between the
board of supervisors and the Com
mCrCial Clubs road Improvement
committee. There was get &C
quaintGd' conference Monday after
noon. The largeness of the road
problem is keenly realized. Organ
lied effort for the purpose of improv-
ing the highways,-all the highways
was never more fortunately in ef
feet than right now.
BY previous arrangement with the
chairman, John Cleveland, the Com
mercial Clubs good roads committee
called upon the board OF supervisors.
George G. True, committee chairman,
explained the province and mission
OF the committee. 1t represents by
appointment, the business commun-
ity of OskaloOsa, and by specific in.
structions, every individual who
travels the public highway. The bet
terment of any mile, and every mile
of road in the county is its purpose.
How may we aid, supplement, or
cooperate with the board of super.
visors in road Improvement" That
is the question constantly before the
committee. Its efforts will find a
place. The whole situation was
talked over, Monday afternoon, look.
ing toward certain specific undertake
ings as a starter in the titanic task
Of highway improvement.
Auditor l.. NJ. Briggs stated that
the 1914 levy under control of super.
yisOrs is:
county road SO, 4O9.02
Auto tax, estimated ..... 100000
Bridge ............ ...... 52,O45.44
Road building ............ 171O5.T
Total .................SS $50 ,559.T3
The following levy for 1914 Is con.
trolled by the township trustees:
Township road ....... .S26,16l.6S
Delinquent road ......... 7,O3O.34
Road dragging ........... 7,4O2.lS
DUAL ...'.... -...'. ..9fV,Vof.SV
Thus the grand total for 1914 road
purposes is $l26.213.93. From this
must be deducted an oyerdraft in
herited from 1913 of $22 ALB, which
leaves a net balance OF s103,782.78.
4 GU will remember that last week
the amount available In 1914 for all
road improvements was estimated at
$4,000. The aggregate income, IL
will be observed. Is larger than was
estimated, but the overdraft was not
figured, this detailed statement ac-
counting for the balance here set out.
The county engineer, Earl Bridges,
stated that there are In the county

bered. Including bridges and ell'

ing the three prison officials and Judge
Thomas, who was in the pententiary
consulting a client.
The prisoners then rushed to the
penitentiary Office and at the point Of
revolvers forced F. G.. Rice and Miss
Mary Foster, the latter a penitentiary
stenographer, to go with them to a
buggy near the penitentiary and get
in. A bullet from one of the prison
ers' guns entered the leg of Miss Eos
ter. She tainted in the buggy. An
alarm was sounded and guards on
horseback were sent in pursuit of the
fugitives.
Battle on Highway.
IN the meantime the sheriff Of Pitts
burg county had been notified and
asked to quickly sumon posse If
gunner. Before the prisoners had
gone more than a half mile from the
penitentiary, however, they were over
taken by the penitentiary guards. A
battle took place on the highway in
which all three of the convicts were
shot to death. Gov Lee CruCe was
notified of the outbreak over long dis
lance by Warden Dick. Dick told the
governor that none Of the men were
TRUSTEES. They were regarded as be-
ing desperate characters, one of them
serving a 40-year term. How the
prisoners got possession of the pis-
tolls Dick does not know.
They Open Fire.
The first intimation prison officials
had that anything was wrong was
when the men grabbed the two guards
and marched them in front of them
into the penitentiary office. Deputy
Warden Oates was in the Office talk
ing with Judge Thomas of Muskogee.
AS the men entered they pointed their
pistols at Oates. Oates jumped to his
feet and began to fire, but his aim was
poor because he was afraid of hitting
the guards, who were serving as
breastwOrks for the prisoners. At
the second shot from Oates pistol the
men shot Oates and the others to
death. While they were fleeing in the
buggy, pursued by the mounted posse.
Miss Foster fell out of the vehicle.
Then the guards closed in and shot
the prisoners to death.
