Kew PRISON is ADVOCATED
Governor Thinks Another Institution
cor First Offenders, Minus Con-
tract System, is Desideratum.

Jefferson City-Gov. Major ex-
pressed the greatest satisfaction with
the operation of the system Of paroles
in Missouri. He will devote a consid-
cradle portion of his next message to
the general assembly TO suggestions
for charging the scope of the law un-
der which the board of pardons and
paroles operates.
Il will recommend among other
things" said the governor, the estab-
lishment of an intermediate prison on
the land owned by the state at Boon
vile.
1T would relieve the congestion at
the pe~nitentiary by taking away 900
or 700 of the younger convicts, a most
desirable result.
There would be no contract sys-
tenn, and the prison would be con
Quoted along lines that would give the
criminal every opportunity to reform
and become a useful member of So
ciety.
Such a prison would not interfere
with the work of the. Missouri Train
ing School for Boys, "a which !
shall suggest that it be located. In
fact, the two institutions should sup
plement each other"
The state owns near 700 acres of
fine land at Boonville. The school is
the only institution using them.
Missouri never has had an interme-
diate prison. This explains the fact
that the state penitentiary is the larg-
est in the United States in point of
population.
Some states have two penitenti-
aries, besides intermediate and penal
institutions. ,O%ne-fourth to one-third
of the present inmates of the penj-
Tertiary are under rs years Of age
and would be eligible to transfer, It
is estimated.

WONDERED WHY.
Found the Answer Was Coffee

Many pale, sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer SO.
and eventually discover that the drug
-caffeine-in coffee is the main cause
of the trouble.
Il was always very fond of coffee
and drank 1t every day. / never had
much flesh and often wondered why I
was always SO pale, thin and weak.
About five years ago my health
completely broke down and / was cor
fined to my bed. My stomach was in
such condition that / could hardly take
sufficient n~ourishment to sustain life.
During this time / was drinking
coffee, didn't think l could do without
It.
After awhile l came to the conclu-
sion that coffee was hurting me, and
decided to give 1t up and try Postum.
When 1t wa made right--dark and
rich--l soon became very fond OF it.
In n week I began to feel better.
! could eat more and sleep better. My
sick headaches were less frequent. and
within five months ! looked and felt
like a new being, headache spells en-
tirely gone.
my health continued to improve

QUESTION RAISED
As TO NEW LAW
DOES THE COUNTY UNIT STAT
UTE HAVE EFFECT OF sus-
PENDING REFERENDUM?
MEXICO RYs FIGHT ELECTION
Report Is to Be Filed by Feb. I, and
Decision as to Which Law
viii Govern Is Expected
Soon Thereafter.

Jefferson City.-W. S. Hughes of
Montgomery City, special commission
er appointed by the supreme court to
take testimony in the ~localoption cleo
ton contest at Mexico, filed applica-
tion for an extension of time in which
to make his report.
The request will be granted and
The report will not be filed until about
Feb. 1.
Commissioner Hughes took the tes-
tilyohS of Secretary of State Roach
as to the number of signatures on the
petitions involving the referendum on
the county-unit act passed by the last
general assembly.
Secretary Roach testified as to the
filing of the petitions and their suf-
f1ciency as to form and the number
of signatures. The petitions are from
each of the congressional districts ex-
cept the Sixteenth. in which none was
circulated.
The signatures aggregate 45,112, or
nearly double the legal requirement.
The smallest number, 2,141, is from
the Twelfth district, and the largest.
5,067. from the Fifteenth.
The chief point raised by George
Robertson and j. T. McBain of Next
co, attorneys for the "wets,' is that
the referendum did not suspend the
operation Of the county-unit act, and
If that law was in force sufficient IL
legal votes were cast to control the
result.
The supreme court in disposing of
the case, must decide when the invok-
ing of the referendum suspends the
operation of a legislative enactment.
The accepted construction is that
the suspension follows automatically
the filing of petitions forcing a refer
endum. This construction is attacked
in the Mexico case.

SUBMARINE Sinks
ELEVEN MEN ENToM6ED 100
FEET UNDER WATER.
Graphing Irons Dragging Bay Fail to
Locate Exact Spot Where Vessel
Sank in Whitesand Bay.

Plymouth, England.-Two officers
and nine men, comprising the crew
of the British submarine boat AT. are
trapped in their craft beneath the wa
tiers of Whitesand Bay, about five
miles southwest of Plymouth. The
exact spot where the little vessel sank
has not been definitely fixed. The
AT, in company with the AS and as,
made a plunge while engaged in ma
neuvers. Her sister ships came to the
surface at the end of the maneuvers,
but nothing has been see Of the AT
since she opened her valves and dived.
Rescue boats were Immediately
rushed to the vicinity where the AT
went down. They threw out crap
ping irons and dragged the bay all
afternoon and until darkness set in.
Their efforts were. f%ruitless, however,
for never once was there a tug at a
chain to indicate that the iron sides
of the plunger had been struck.

S. D. S. SAVES 1903 At SEA
PACKET HAD BEGUN TO BREAK
UP WHEN LOCATED.
Fires Out, Wireless Being Dead, un.
able to Aid Rescuers-Ship
on Rocks SO Hours.

Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.-Snatched
from what seemed almost certain
death, the 1903 passengers and crew
of the Royal Mail packet Cobequid
are safe in Yarmouth harbor.
The wireless appeals for assistance
which she had first made SO hours
before were answered as the doomed
steamer was being racked to pieces
on Trinity Rock, six miles off Port
Maitland. The rescue will go down in
shipping annals as one of the most
notable ever accomplished on the At
lantic coast.
The Cobequid had begun to break
up under the pounding of the terrific
seas that had been merciless from
the time the vessel struck. Quantities
of cargo covered the waters as the
lifeboats ranged alongside.
The coast steamers Westport and
John L. Calm were first to get boats
into the water and they were followed
o by the boats of the government
steamer Lansdowne and the Kappa
hammock. AS the work of rescue pro-
crossed the sea subsidized considera-
bly, and no mishap marred the tri-
umph over the waves.
Capt. McKinnon of the Westport
found the liner on the southeast part
Of Trinity ledge. At the time there
was a high wind and rough seas. He
took off In three lifeboat loads Y
persons, including all the passengers,
the pursers, several deck officers and
part of the crew.
The Westport stood by until the
John l.. Calm came up. The latter
took off "a men as the Westport was
leaving for Yarmouth. Both ships
later reached here.
Trinity Rock, on which the Cobe-
quid was transfxed, is a pinnacle of
granite rising abruptly from the sea
half way between this port and Brier
Island, where the steamer was at
first thought to have struck.

Yates, charged with drowning her
two small stepchildren, pleaded
guilty to second-degree murder and

stepchild, a small boy, escaped and
gave the alarm.

Yates daughter by a former marriage,
who was alleged to have aided her
mother in the killings, were dismissed.

VALLEY TOWN INUNDATED
HIGH WALL OF WATER SWEEPS
DOWN VALLEY.
Warnings of Approaching Flood Sent
Residents of Several Towns
Scurrying to Safety.

Cumberland, Md.-Huddled in rude
shacks and about blazing camp fires,
hundreds of food refugees watched
and waited in the West Virginia hills
while the northern branch of the Po-
tomach river, a swollen, icy food,
swept through their homes in the
towns that dot the valley below.
A wall of water, starting from the
broken dam of the West Virginia
Pulp and Paper company on Stoney
creek, moved down to the Potomac,
inundated the town of Schell, w. Va,
where the two streams meet and
started a flood ave laden with wreck
age and ice down the Potomac valley.
Warnings of the approaching flood
sem the residents OF small towns
along the river scurrying to safety in
The hills.
Telegraph and telephone communi-
cation was cut off by the food for a
day before being re-established. Ru-
mores of several men caught in the
Hoou waters at Shaw, w. Va, 20 miles
from Schell, which could not be con
firmed, were the only reports of
casualties attending the flood. The
food warning emptied the town of
Shaw and sent many residents of
Blaine, Harrison, Kitzmiller and other
small places in the path of the water,
hurrying to the ridges.
The big dam, which ~impounded a
lake of water five miles long and
which was 65 feet high, had been
weakening for several days. Wednes-
day night it began to crumble and a
farmer from the mountain village of
Mount Serm rode down the valley
warning the few inhabitants Of the
impending break.
