Berlin, Jan. 26.-The city of Pots

Germany's most unique taxa tax of
$15O on every nightingale in captivity
within Potsdam. This tax has been col

ordered it levied because he objected
to the nightingales in his park being

law unrepealed on the city's statutes
out of honor to Frederick but not to

One Hundred and Twenty Prisoners
Who Have Perfect Record Will
Be Moved to Dormitory.
HONOR SYSTEM HAS WORKED
WE'LL IN OHIO PRISON
Water Cures, Prison Stripes, Chain

of Punishment Abolished.
[uNIrEp pnEss LEAsnp wIRE. !

Columbus, o., Jan. 26.-Ohio's s hu-
name "make men" policy, now govern
ing the most notorious state peniten-
tiary of the past in the United States,
will advance another step within few
days when Warden P. E. Thomas, Grim
inologist, non-political appointee and
humanity expert will open his "hotel" "
for "perfect record" prisoners.
The hotel-for such it will be-will
not be surrounded by steel bars Far
from the system of the past, it will
embrace an innovation never before at
tempted.
One handred and twenty burglars,
yeggs, porch climbers, pickpockets,
"Ebad men," embezzlers and plain
thieves with "clean records" will be
removed from their cells to roomy
well ventilated dormitory
Every one of them will sleep at night
in comfortable iron bed of the hos
pital type; will have locker; a bag;
roomy rocking chair, plain oak stand;
and an electric drop light. A prison
bar won t be in sight. After the day S
work is done and the prisoner disrobes
for the night he will neatly crease his
gray regulation trousers; hang his coat
on hanger and place the apparel in a
steel locker built for the purpose. On
an upper shelf he will find his clean
clothing and in a lower compartment
he may deposit his shoes and draw forth
a pair of bed room slippers, seat him
self in a big rocking chair, light his
pipe and under the rays Of his adjust
able electric lamp scan the days news
from the evening paper.
Such is the idea of Warden Thomas
who has advanced radical theories on
prison reform. He's put some three
hundred prisoners outside prison walls
without guards fOn their honor" he Is
abolished the hideous prison stripes, the
water cures, chain stringings and dun
geon types of punishment.
He has worked for over year on the
theory that kindness in most cases ex'
ercised on men with full stomachs is
the best producer of discipline, and
now he's going to make real incentive
for behavior among his wards. The
dormitory is that incentive.
From the windows of this "hotel, .
the wards may look upon the scene OF
, hundreds of inhuman, stuffy cells in
which men have lived and died. The
same scene is that ftom which Genera

crate leader with handful of Officers

WHAT THE DITCH WILL DO.

The National Geographical society
believes that the Panama canal will
carry most of the freight passing be
tween the eastern coast of the United
States and the western coast of Latin
America, and that the shorter distance
and lower rates which it offers will
greatly increase that trade; that the
trade between the eastern and west
ern sections OF the United States will
be greatly increased and transported
at much lower charge per ton; that
it will sufficiently shorten the distances
to Japan, northern China, Australia,
and New Zealand to increase
steamship service and materially in
crease the traffic with those countries.
and that the European countries will
use the canal in most of their traffic
with western America and in excep-
tional cases with northern Asia, Aus
tralia and New Zealand
The canal has shortened travel
routes between New York and Yoke
homa by $3.50 miles; between New
York and Shanghai, about 1900
miles; between New York and Aus
tralia, about 5000 miles, and between
New York and western South America
by from $500 to 1000 miles. II
also reduces the distance from En-
rope to western South America by
more than 5000 miles. Internationa
commerce doubled in the 30 year.
