PE0.TENTIARY
 MADE PLEASANT

Columbus O., Feb. 3--"There's a spark O good in every man; the blood will tell idea is bosh; if a man isn't a thorough criminal he can be trusted;; normal men have honor and they can be relied upon To certain extent, some more, some less" Thus prefacing an ex- plantation of Ohio's new make man policy, Warden P. E. Thomas, the first expert criminalogist ever in charge of Ohio's famous old peniten- ,iary, today told the United Press correspondent that the honor system #moug cOuyicts is a success. Ward Cu Thomas has cXpermented with the honor system in Ohio, a little over a year today. Here are a few plain facts about the system as eX- D.atued by the warden:
 Abou 800 men are working in the open air on their honor. A big per reurage of the men are building roads for the state. Guards aren't needed; an overseer bosses the work The largest per cent of "honor men are life termers. They wear blue oyoraIIs like ordinary Iaborers and have Sunday clothes. Thye go to church on Sundays. They work 8 hours a day. They are paid five cents an hour; ninety per cent goes to their dependents, the rest to them. Less than one per cent have tried to escape in year. Honor
 men have all served from one to fifteen years behind bars. One pris- ougr who was recently sent out to work Ion hishonor' after sixteen years behind the bars, was badly frightened by a passing automobile. He is serving a life sentence for murder"

MUST PAY FUR
 DEAD HORSES

Washington, Feb. 3---"Paying for a dead horse" is no more agreeable to the United States than to pri- Yate individual, even when the de- funct animal is assessed at the modest prIca of $50.
 Comptroller George r. Downey, of the Treasury has just issued rul- ing that under certain c'rcumstances Uncle Sam will pay for horse that dies in tfa service of it's country hereafter, but that nothing will be paid for the horse that sacrificed it's life Cu the altar of patriotism on April 12 1912.
 On April 12,1912, a member Of the forestry service in Colorado hir- ed a horse which died late on the same day. It was discovered that the Secretary of Agriculture, under whose jurisdiction the forestry bur eau comLs, had no authority to pay for the animal. Accordingly on March 4, last, Congress passed a law permitting the Secretary to re- imburse owners of houses which ill the future die in government harm ess.
 Col. r. G. Caffey, solicitor for the Depar- tment of Agriculture, in a recent opinion, held that as this act was of remedial nature, it should work restTospectively as well as prospectively. Comptroller Downey held otherwise; so only the dead horses of the future will be paid for.
