convicts to Work on Roads.


Convict labor in building state
roads is to be used in Wisconsin
soon under the direction of the state
board Of control. Two camps of pris-
oners are to be placed at work in an
experimental way within the next
month, one at Waupan and one at Tay-
cheedah, near the woman's industrial
home.
The plan of the board is to put the
prisoners wholly upon their honor.
Each company will contain about 30
and no guard will be placed over them,
the superintendent to be a person Sc
lected by the highway commission to
have charge Of the engineering aspects
Of the work and the foreman to have
general direction Of the men.
The work at Waupun Is to be upon
what is known as the Waupan-C Chester
road, bad piece Of highway where 1t
is proposed to build modern con-
crete road. At Taycheedah the pris-
oners are to be employed in doing the
preliminary work, such as grading and
getting the roadbed ready.
President Smith said the mems rec
ords would be taken into consideration
and their general disposition as re-
vealed to the prison authorities. He
said that the plan is experimental, but
that If 1t is as successful as the board
expects, the employment Of prisoners
will be extended. The incentive for
the prisoner will be an added wage
and the hope that faithful service may
modify the sentence.
The board rejected all bids offered
for the building of the school at the
home for the feehle-minded at Chip
pewa Falls.
The board reappointed the IL SUI
perintendents of state institutions.

"BUNTY. PULLS THE STRINGS
Delightful Wholesome Comedy at the
Belasco. -.

"Bunty Pulls the Strings" one of
the most delightful wholesome plays
of recent years, returned to the Be-
I-lasco Theatre last night and charmed
:ranew the intelligent theatregoers OF
Washington. The strength of this
rare comedy of life and manners in
Scotland is that it has elementary v!r-
tue. The interest grows out OF stu
ations destitute Of intricacy or sub
lety, but the characterizations are
forceful and rugged. an4 clear cut,
and the dialect is reddent of Scotcn
heather.
Bunty Bigger, or rather Molly
Pearson, for the character will ever
be associate: with this pleasing play
cr who originated the role, was one
of those women who while entirely
feminine are created to manage
things. She could have done most
anything had she been a man. Bunty
chose her husband and step-mother,
and handled the affairs of others
much better than they could have
done themselves. One could but adj
mire the souri reasoning of the ener-
getic Scotch lassie-and Miss Pear
son.
Susie Simpson, the marriage de-
signing spinster, is character off
ering player rich opportunities.
Polly Griffin met the possibilities of
the part acceptably, although she was
not sure of her dialect.
Teenie Dunlop was sweet and sim
pie girl just as Violet Dale portrayed
her, and her aunt Eclen, the 'perpe-c-
ctual Bride" a lilie2ble woman OF
good common sense as Mabel Stan
ton nade evident.
Weelum surely must have been 4
more intelligent person to attract
R2ntv than William LennoX made
him. Bunty was far too clever a per
son to marry fool.
Tammas and Rab Bigger, father
and son. were capably done by J. f.
McGregor and James Finlayson. Scot
iar. is still stern country, but par
ents were still more strict there fifty
years ago than they are today. and
Mr.. McGregor indicated this effect
lively. Clare Coleman aad Hudson
Iistnn attracted atte=G:on for their
clever work in minor roles.
Real Scotch humor CT universal ap-
peal is in every line of this charm
ing comedy. which is probably playing
its farewell to Washington curing
this engagement.

AN OLD MENACE
Carranza Asserts That In
tervention Would Stir
up Bloody War.
BULLY OF THE WORLD
Rebel Chief Declares Villa Put a
Stop TO Benton Investigation at MS
Command.

Washington March An dispatch
cs from Nogaes, Mexico, today, Gen
Venustiano Carranza, first chief Of the
constitutonalists is quotea as warn
ing the United States that interven'
ton in Mexico would inflame all Latir
America and be blow to the politica
future of the United States.
He declares intervention would pro-
woke war that would deepen a pro.
found hatred AMI that such step
is contrary to the interests of the
United States.
"The nations" Carranza declared,
thought that they could strengthen
their positions by stanaing with the
Huerta government, and. they held 10
this idea until the rapid advance Of
the constitutionalsts showed them
I.heir error.
"The killing of Benton was due to a
malicious attack on Villa by an enemy
Of the constitutional:sts. and Englanr
the bully of the world, found herself
in a position of being unable to deal
with us unless she humil!ated herself
by sending her representatives to the
constitutionalists; so she attempted to
use the Unite States as cats paw.
More shame to the United States, that
she allowed herself to join with those
Infamous powers.
"To whom shall we address our
selves in the, Benton case??" asked
Carranza. 1--WE certainly cannot ad-
dress ourselves until the British dele
gates come. We shall remain silent
as TO the results Of the investigation
It is true that Villa, at my order,
recalled the invitation TO investiga
the body of Benton, and withdrew tns
nermission he had given. He did tins
because I informed him that he was
rot to treat with any nation concern
ing international affairs. Villa and
| are in perfect accord. He obeyed
my orders, and he should obey them'

else woul1. be unbelievable.

Court to Reopen Case

NEW MOVE IN CONTEST
Commissions From Two Common
weaIths vii! Discuss Matter at
Conference in Washington.

Richmond, Va, March 4-Members
of the Virginia ebt commission have
learned that when they meet the rep
resentatives of West Virginia in
Washington today for conference re-
garding the Settlement Of the ancient
litigation West Virginia will repay
to V:rginia's claim for S1,182, ,507..i6
and interest, as West Virginia's equI-
table part of the State debt before
It's admission to statehood in 1869 by
entering counterclaim for reimburse
ment.
For many months past the Wes;
Virginia commission has had exper:
accountants at work in the records OF
the Second Auditors Office. While
neither the West Virginia commission
nor the accountants d:vulced the ex-
act nature of the investigation being
pursue. here, it is known that there
has been thorough examination Of
the record Of bon. sales by Virginia
since the separation of West Virginia.
The result of this has been to give
the West Virginia commission grounds
to assert that Virginia has sold, since
1863. bonds and stocks for its exciu
sive benefit, which were the joint
property OF the two States, West Vir-
gina having failed to secure its pro-
portion of Virginia bonds at the time
Of the secession.
1t is understood that the West Viz
gina commission will say that 1t is
prepared to appear before the Un:ted
States Supreme Court on April Il, the
date set for the final hearing OF the
debt litigation, and ask for the re-
onening Of the entire case on the
rrour S of arter-.iscovered evidence.
The Supreme Court rendered a deci-
sion in October, 1911, establishing
the Indebtedness of West Virginia tc
Virginia at S7.1S2,507, ,46, but leaving
the adjustment of the question of in
'terest to a commission composed of
representstives of both States.
The Virginia commission points TO
the fact that to obtain the reopening
Of . case which has been finally set
t ed the appellant must distinctly
nrove three things. First, that evil
dence has actually been discovered
since the rendering of the decree;sec-
ond that such evi.ence could not have
been obtained by diligent endeavor be
fore the original decree was entered,
and third, that the after-discovereo
evidence is material. The Virginia
commissioners, in commenting on the
situation, point to the fact that the
records just now unearthed by
West Virginia accountants have been
oren to public examination for the
last fifty years and have, as a matter
of fact. been in the possession of West
Virginia's representatives heretofore.
West Virginia rests its hope of re-
opening the case on the contention
that the decision ren':erel by the Su-
preme Court in 1911 was not tlnal,
but was an intcrlocutory decree,whlch
5 not subject to the hard and taS
restrictions which bind final order.
