COnyicts For Road Work

Convlcts from the states prison at
Waupun will be employed in the
state in road making work this
summer. This is the announcement
made by the state board of control
today They will first be put to work.
it is planned, upon the roads near
Waupun and about the new tuber
culosis camp on Tomahawk lake.
They will start the work on the build
ings for the new woman's reformatory
at Taycheedah. just south of Fond du
Lac. Then they will be available
for work in other parts of the state.
The honor system will govern the
men while they are out. Only the
men with clean records will be allow
ed to go out on this work. They will
be looked after by an officer of the
state prison who is also fitted fer the
supervision of the road building. He
will have assistants, but there will be
no armed guards.
This plan as tried in Illinois and
Colorado was great success. 1t is in
line with the attempts to make the
prison reforming agency rather than
a place to punish men.

Guthrie, Okla.-To live during the
remainder of his life with an alien
tribe in order that he may escape the
restraints of civilization and enjoy
the liberty and freedom Of his fathers
is the fate of Chitto Harjo, the Snake
Indian chief, who led his people in re-
volt against the federal and state gov
ernments in the Creek Indian country
Of Oklahoma in 1909.
"Chitto Harjo, Of Crazy Snake, as
the whites always called him, is now
with the Niagre Indians in Bolivia,
South America. know, because I
took him there myself"
This is the statement Of Elega Har-
jo, a nephew of the former Snake
chief, who cast his lot with Chitto
when the revolt occurred several
years ago. The nephew was captured
by the authorities, tried on a charge
of treason against the state and sent
to the McAlester penitentiary to serve
term of four years. He made three
escapes from prison. He was taken
into custody here several days ago on
the charge of carrying concealed
weapons and is now being held by the
county authorities.
His first escape was made to pro-
tect the aged Chitto from the state
and federal authorities. He had been
sent by the prison authorities to
Granite, Okla with several other
prisoners to build the state reforma-
tory, and 1t was while thus employed
that he made dash for liberty and
escaped the guards.
II went directly to my old home In
the Creek country" says Harjo, "and
Immediately hunted UP my uncle. We
talked the matter over and decided
that if he remained IN this country he
would soon be in prison and in all
probability sent to the penitentiary.
We decided that the best thing to do
was to get him out of the United
States. 1 had been in Carlisle Uni
versity for fifteen years, graduating
from that institution in 1907, and had
studied considerable in regard to the
countries of South America.
"a few nights after my return we
saddled our ponies and rode overland
to Haleyville, Okla, where we took
the train for Galveston, then sailing
to British Honduras. 1t was while
there that l discovered that the
Niagre Indians spoke language SINH

up how much it costs to screen Utica
Add to that the amount in wages lost
by people sick through the direct
