To tell the exact truth, l was not in

AS the hour had passed and realized

ardor for the lifting of Mrs. Larrabee-

done even for the lady's good had per-

frigidity in the vicinity of my patent

Something of this feeling l ventured
to communicate to Rawson, but he
shook his head gravely.

opportunities for doing so came along

revelry, visions OF Partisan creations

MURDERER
OF Guard Lauderbaugh Asks
For Freedom
John AtkinSOn'S Case To Be
Heard By Board Today

Columbus, o., July 16-John Atkin-
snon, serving life Imprisonment for
completely in the killing of Guard
Lauderbaugh, of Knox county, while
trying to escape from the penitentiary
in 1898, is one of six convicts under
murder sentences among the Fl appli-
cants for pardon whose cases will be
presented to the state pardon board
today.
When Lauderbaugh intercepted two
convicts who were carrying a ladder
to the wall he was fatally shot. Atkin-
son was shot in the shoulder. 1t is
claimed Atkinson's pal, O'Neill, fired
all the shots that hit the guard.
At that time it was not an offense
under the law to escape from prison.
1t was this case which caused the en-
actment of the present law making 1t
first degree murder to kill guard in
attempting to escape. Judge Badger,
the trial judge. and A. Lee Thurman,
who prosecuted the case, have stated
no harm would be done in committing
to 10 years the life sentence given
Atkinson on his plea Of guilty to
murder.

Yes? Then Buy katathermometer

London, July 16-No home in the fu-
ture will be complete without kata-
thermometer, says Prof. Leonard Hill
of the London hospital Also, the fu-
turist home must be equipped with a
hypocaust to meet futurist conditions,
which demand warm feet and cool
head
Prof. Hills invention, the katather-
mometer, tells whether the tempera-
ture indoors approximates that out OF
doors, his theory being that it is wrong
to maintain level summer heat In
rooms. This is responsible, he be-
lieves, for the prevalence of nerve
troubles. Houses should have plenty
of air in circulation to match the all
outside.
The hypocaust, to keep the feel
warm while the fresh draughts COO
the head, is an idea borrowed from the
Romans. 1t is plan for keeping the
floors warm by fiues from a furnace

MAKE men"
Policy In The Ohio Pen Shows
Good Results

Columbus, O., July 16-Ohio's
"make-men" policy has made good.
The average daily population of the
penitentiary has decreased 16 with
in year.
Fewer repeaters are being receiv-
ed than ever before.
There are more first termers now
in the prison that at any time in the
states prison history.
Such was the declaration today of
penitentiary officials. They pointed
out that conditions inside the peni-
tentiary have improved since Warden
Thomas and the board of administra-
ton have given prisoners that "one
more chance" to make good.
The prison school, the prisoners
baseball league, the outdoor work
and the honor system all have had
their effect.
Prisoners improvd mentally, NOR
ally and physically. And few indeed
are the men or women who have
failed to take advantage of the
chances offered them. Self-respect
has been the keynote of Warden
Thomasn' success. Once this is in
stilled in the prisoner then reforma'
ton starts. There is no sentiment in
the system. 1t is practically bust
ness proposition through and through
And the system has paid dividends
The state has better workmen foI
the many projects now connected
with the prison. And as result the
bills for supplies, for state institu
tions furnished from prison shops
have decreased.
