SEGREGATION ONLY
ANSWER TO PROBLEM

5 gregation, in the estimation of
Warden B. X, Lawson, of the state
penit2ntary, is the only solution to the
problem of the reformation of the young
criminal, as outlined in his biennial re-.
port to the state board of control which
was received Saturday.
I" Place the old and hardened clIn.
inal in some place where he can live
out his existence but do not house him
with the green young country boy who
is caught at his first offense," says
Warden Lawson. "The United States
government should provide a place for
the interstate convict, the tramp
yegg, and when one is found who has
served in another state, he should be
declared an interstate convict and
turned over to the L. S. government to
be dealt with as humanely as possible.
Some of the most ptiful cases of
blasted futures in this institution are
due to the influence Of this confirmed
class of criminals and they should be
confined on some government island. -
Warden Lawson recommends that
$4,000 be appropriated for improve.
ments and betterments to the admins.
trati)n building at the penitentiary and
that four cottages be constructed for
the housing of the officers of the nsti.
! tuition and their families, to cost ap.
proximately $4,000 each. He also states
that the law pertaining to "burglary
not in dwelling" which consists prin.
cipally OF safeblowing and other SINH.
lar )ffenses, should be changed to pro.
vide sentences Of from two to ten years
instead of one to five years, which
latter makes them unruly and hard to
handle. He also recommends q law pro
yiding for two degrees Of manslaughter
the first degree being from five to fif'
teen years, and the second degree one
to fifteen years.

CONNIE MACK GIVES

(By Hal sheridan.)

New York, Nov 2.--Basebal follow.
ers were handed the world 3 record sur
prise package Saturday, 1t was Connie
Mack 3 announcement that he had
asked waivers on his three great
pitchers, Bender, Plank and CoOmbs.
True, the surprise was less in CoOmbS
ease because illness had kept him out
Of the game for two years, but he was
expected TO take his turn IN the box
next year. But the announcement re-
garling Bender and Plank ca'se,l the
fans eyes TO pop.
Experts here believe there was some.
thing behind the announcement which
will be kept secret until just before
next season opens, The waivers were
not asked because Plank or Bender was
slipping. Both enjoyed exceptionally
good years this season,
Mack thought 80 much Of his two
stars that he sent them against the Bos
ton Braves In the world s series be-
fore he would take n chance with any
Of his youngsters Bender, for the first
time in his career, was battcd from the
box In n world series, but he pitched
good game at that Plank twirled
splendid ball and was only beaten by Q
narrow margin In the closest game OF
the series. II is certain, at any rate
that the two veterans pitched AZ well
M any of the youngsters Mack sent
against the BostOns,
That there will be n general scrambl,
Of American league magnatcs TO gel
Bender and Plank goes without saying
Mack declared that one Of the thre,
twirlers had told him that he was

that this fact hastened his announce

OREGON AGGIES TIE
BOBTE'S CHAMPIONS

Albany, Or, Nov. mo more does
the ghost of the Oregon Aggies ramble
aimlessly over the Washington campus
II was avenged yesterday afternoon in
a sea Of mud and water, when the Ore
gon Aggies held the champion Uni
yersity Of Washington eleven to Otto
0 score.
One long year Corvallis has waited
to wipe out the stigma Of the 40
defeat suffered last Fall, and before
2500 wildly.cheering partisans it played
the much.yamted Dobie team to n
standstill.
In the initial quarter Washington
twice battered its way to the sha low
Of the Agges goal posts. "Map" Mil
ler as usual, held the role Of battering
ram, but the proteges Of Coach Stew
art, with all the fury of Il thousand
wildcats unleashed in a menagcrie, tore
the bali from the champs and kicked
far out Of danger
Fumbies Prove Costly
After the first quarter the Aggics
had much the best Of the argument.
Except for two or three costly fumbles
on punts aud passes the Aggics might
have scored. In the second half Wash.
ington made yardaGo only twice, while
the Aggies tore off the allotted 10
yards on numberess occasions.
The day produced new hero for
the football enthusiasts to warhle
about. IIis name is Art Lutz, half.
backg on the Oregon Agglc eleven, Lut2
autclnssed even the roionbtable Miller
in every department cf the game. His
kicking was n tremendous factor. Time
after time he booted the heavy leather
over the Dobie quarterback, several OF
his spirals whizzing In excess of 50
yards Lutz' off.tackle plunging and
his brilliant drives around end re-
minded one Of the famous leston in
his palmest days.
II was tie score, but for the Agges
II was victory, For six long cam.
pOigns Washington had reigned su
prcmc in Northwest college circles. II
had trampled uthlcssly roughshod
over all opponents, so for the Aggies
todoy's mudshot battle was victory
and the celebration that followed the
final whistle proved IL.
Crhe Capital Journal with n direct
wire to the football field at Albany
bullctined the game by plays, Saturday
afternoon. A large and enthusiastic
crowd gathered around the bulletin
board, many Of the spectators being
Willamette University students.)

United States this being 31-calibre.
Perhaps the greatest danger from
aeroplane attack comes from the fact
that bombs OF considerable weight,
filed with high explosives, can be
dropped from flying machines and are
certain to infiict great damage, pro-
vided that they are aimed with &C
|curacy. Lieut.. Riley e. Scott, noted
|ay iator, who was formerly an ofiicer
in the United States army, says that
he believes that great accuracy can
be attained In the dropping OF such
|projectiles from an altitude OF a mile
and quarter. height which would
render the thinnest of armor COM
plete defense against small calibre
bullets from the ground.
Lieut.. Scott believes anything as
large as a wagon or tent may be dis
tinguished very distinctly on a clear
day from an aeroplane mile In the
air. In use against mortar batteries,
Scott believes that the use Of heavy
charge OF nitrogelatine would be es-
pecially effective, as, while 1t might
not irjure the guns themselves, Il
would be practically certain to de-
stroy the range-1nding system upon
