Congressman Howard Now Be-
Ieves That Atlanta Penitentiary
Probe Will Be Thorough.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The APP
pointment to-day of Francis III. Due
| hay as Superintendent of Federal
Prisons is believed to be only the first
! step of the Department of Justice to-
ward sweeping reforms in the penal
system, which will affect most radi-
| cally the Federal Prison at Atlanta
and which probably will extend so far
as to remove Warden Meyer.
| Much has been said to indicate that
Attorney General McReynolds Is not
satisfied with the report of DR. A. j.
! McKelway concerning the Atlanta
prison, and another investigation viz
tually is assured. This assurance is
voiced by Congressman William
Schley Howard, of Georgia.
after an interview with the Attor-
ney General, l am thoroughly salts
fed that all needed reforms in the
Federal Prison at Atlanta will be
promptly instituted by him." said
Congressman Howard to-day, and
that a further investigation will be
made to ascertain the true condi-

New Plan of Management.
With the appointment of Mr.. Due
hay to succeed Robert V. Ladow At
torney General McReynolds an
nounced a policy to bring about
complete change in the plan of man
agement of the penal institutions I'M
der the supervision of the Department
of Justice.
This change will effected fol-
lowing a. trip of inspection to the sew
eral prisons by the new superintend-
ent. 1t is announced that Mr.. Duehay
will come Immediately to Atlanta to
study conditions, and that probably he
will be accompanied by corps of as
sistants in the task.
In the course Of the same trip he
most likely will visit the prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kans., concerning
which complaints of mismanagement
have been within cognizance of the
Department of Justice for a year or
more.
Ladow to See to Paroles.
Robert V. Ladow, reduced in rank
from Superintendent to Assistant Su-
perintendent, will devote his time
chiefly to the duties of the Parole
Board, the business of which is now
badly congested, with over 800 cases
pending.
The new Superintendent has been a
resident of Washington almost all his
life. His politics is not known, but
his friends declare he is a great ad
mirer of the President. He first at
tracted the attention of the Attorney
General by his public utterahces on
prison reform and by the revelation of
his research in penal affairs and kim
bred humanitarian work. He is the
owner of two of the largest apartment
houses in Washington, besides a no.

His appointment came as a COM
plete surprise to interested members
Of Congress. Concerning his policy,
Superintendent DuehaE would say
nothing tonight.

of Humans-In Love With Negro Servant.
of Humans.

Chickens, when all is said and done,
are interesting objects, whether they
be the feathered fowl of the barn
yard or the adorable human variety.
However, it being safe to talk about
only the first, consider the case of
Emmeline Pankhurst, an erudite hen
belonging to Mrs. Kendall Weisiger,
No. 112 Peachtree place.
No ordinary hen is Emmeline
Pankhurst. AS to general physique
and makeup, she Is a husky Rhode
Island Red But that classification
gives no hint to Emmeline's tempera-
ment and her many accomplishments.
One of the least remarkable of the
hens attainments is an overwhelming
desire for the company of human be-
ings. She scorns the companionship
of other chickens, lives exclusively in
a TASTY boudoir of her own, in the
basement Of the Weisiger home, and
takes her dignified pleasure in the
solitude of the big yard and the open
country back of the house.
Emmeline has proved that she has
a heart, although It be undiscrimi-
mating. She has fallen madly, des-
perately in love with Betty the negro
servant in the Weisiger home who is
her "1ady's maid" If Betty leaves
her for a bare half hour Emmeline
will be at the door or window, peck
ing It sharply with her expressive
beak. If Betty leaves the home on
on errand. Emmeline is disconsolate
and mourns audibly, The other day,
the Weisigers, will tell you, Emme-
line was particularly heartbroken
because Betty had gone. Mere cluck-
