At STATE PRISON.
Charges of Cruelty Denied-Not So
Serene as Under COdding.

Charges that unusual and inhuman
punishment is being administered to
prisoners in the state penitentiary at
Lansing, are denied today by men,
bers of the state board OF corrections
which this week investigated the
charges and took the sworn testimony
of u number Of witnesses. The water
euro has not been used under the
present administration, the board says.
AS soon as the use of the gag and
den Botkin, their Hf1rther use was pro-
hibited.
Many employees and officers at the
penitentiary were summoned as wit
nesses before the board. Their sworn
testimony was taken and is being
transcribed by stenOgrapher. Among
the witnesses were several former en-
ployees and men who have seen service
under both the Codding and Botkin
administrations.
Seven times under the Botkin ad-
ministration. the straight jacket and
gag have been used in extreme cases
Of punishment. This method was dis
covered some months ago by Warden
Botkin, the evidence showed, and the
method has since been abolished.
Both the water cure, straight jacket
and gag were frequently used under
former administrations and in the last
few years, witnesses testified. EN-
ployees who have been in the state S
service at the penitentiary for num-
Der of years, stated that the punish
ment inflicted at this time is more
humane than at any time in several
years.
A charge to the effect that the
deputy warden had interfered with
the work of the prison chaplain. was
Investigated. The chaplain testified
had met with no interference on the
mart of the deputy warden.

SAMPLE BALLOTS.


Sample election ballots may e,bes
printed and distributed by the county.
clerks this year. according to IN opin-'
ion rendered today BY the attorney
generals office. Although the new
Massachusetts, ballot law specifically
prohibits the printing or distribution
OF sample ballots, the attorney gen..
erals office has held that the new
law does not repeal . former section
Of the statutes providing for the
printing of ballots and that the dt0e1f-
button Of sample ballots is legal. II Il
probable. however, that the question
will be checked up to the courts be-.
fore the November election.
The opinion from the attorney yen-s
erals office was sent to Charles &es-
sions, secretary OF state. Sessions mas
been swamped with inquiries from
sion prohibiting the distribution of
sample ballots. The ruling Of the at
torney general will probably mean.
that the county clerks will be instruct
ed to order the printing Of sample ball
lots this year.
Section 1852 OF the general statutes
Of 1903 provide for the printing of
sample ballots. This section was not
repealed by the 1913 legislature. III
such section il repealed BY implica-
ton" says the opinion. then there
remains no statute providing Tor the
printing and distribution Of the ball,
lots" So there you are. No sample
ballots. No general election ballots.
And the question win probably go to,
the supreme court for d decision.
II have examined the provisions Of
the 1918 law referred to and also the
general election law" says s. N. Brew
ster. assistant attorney general, who
prepared the opinion, ''and have come
to the conclusion that it viii be nee
essary for the county clerk to pre-
pare and distribute sample ballots the
same as before the 1918 law was
passed Subdivision 8 Of sec
ton 1862 Of the general statutes Of
1903 makes It mandatory upon the
county clerk to have printed not to
exceed fifty exact copies OF the off,
cial ballot for each precinct, such bal
lots to be printed on paper Of other
color than whites and these ballots
are for tho inspection Of candidates
and their agents and for distribution
through each OF the party oFgant8a-.
tions.ss's-
Acting upon the advice Of the at
torney generals office, Secretary Of
State Sessions will probably advise
the county, clerks to print and distrib-'
ute the sample ballots for the Novem-
her election.

He PRODS WILSON.

Continued From Page O7e-)
Senator LippitutO task and the Rhode
Island senator responded that Senator
Stone was placing his words in fRlse
light. ssss-
"Oh, I know what the senator
meant" continued Stone. He meant
to charge the president with the death
of 200 innocent Mexicans-think of 1t
Mexicans at Vera Cruz
1.-The Rhode Island senator seems to
regard those Mexican shippers who
were firing on our boys in violation of
Mexicans'. Why. all the country ap-
proves Of what the president did at
Vera Cruz with the possible exception
of the senator from Rhode Island.
IT neither condone Villas acts nor
do agree with the Rhode Island sem
ator who seems to approve Of the acts
of Huerta. man guilty of treason and
whose hands are red with the blood Of
his chieftain.
The Only Means at Hand.
The senator says we were hasty at
Vera Cruz because a German vessel
was approaching laden with arms and
munitions Of war for Huerta and his
was done. The president was taking
the only means to enforce the ultima
tum and make Huerta apologize for
what he had DONE.
The senator from Rhode Island adj
vises the administration 1t should have
kept quiet and remained inactive until
rapid firing cannon, field guns and
Mauser rifles with millions of rounds
of ammunition had been delivered into
the hands of the men who would fire
at our flag and our soldiers when they
landed at Vera Cruz. The senator
seems to be deeply sympathetic with
the Mexicans." !a4
Lippitt interrupted: Does the sena-
tor also approve the lifting Of the em-
barge on arms for the rebels in the
north Of Mexico? They are just as
surely to be turned against u.s."
The senator can defend Huerta II
he Wishes" replied Senator Stone. He
can put his senatorial arms about him
and hold him up as one deserving
praise" Senator Stone said that If
Senator Lippitt had confined his crit
icism of the lifting of the embargo
along the Rio Grande, to a prediction
as to what might happen II the United
States goes to war with all Mexico, he
might have been in the right.

Bludgeon made by Henry Adams,
alias Christian Montague, bad man,
soon to be transferred from county
jail to penftentiary.
Adams, who il one Of the worst
professional bad men who has been
IN the present sheriff s. charge. has
made several previous attempts at es-
in, possession of rudely contrived
weapons of hisF own; manufacture.
When faced with the evidence of his
plan to assault the jailefss he has tIEu-
ally cheerfully acknowledged his am
bition to carry out a plan OF escape,
and once while being led from Jail to
court house he made dash for lib
erty. Deputy Sheriff ]. j.. Holman
made a swift tackle, however, which
brought the prisoner to the ground
before he could get away. s. ~
The weapon pictured here is a trib-
ute to the evil ingenuity of its maker.
It's weight and murderous points are
made up Of tobacco tins discarded by
the other prisoners and boarded until
enough were available to work to-
gether with bits of cigar box and a
length of steel wire taken from a pris-
on cot. The whole thing. which Is
about thirty inches long. is wrapped
projecting point fastened about mid
way of the weapon is solidly bound
and has been pounded flat and sharp.
Although not heavy, the weapon has
a cutting edge and is flexible and of a
sufficient heft to deal deadly blow.
An investigation just completed by
Sheriff Kfene at the Hutchinson re-
formatory shows that Adams, who has
made every effort to conceal his iden-
tity, was confined there until 1910 for
an unusually atrocious attempt on the
life of a railway station agent at
Grainfield, in Cove county, in 1908.
With two companions Adams. who was
convicted under the name Of Christian
Montague, made a raid on the railway
station and bound the agent to the rail-
road tracks while they sacked his Of
flee. They left him to be run over by
a train which was almost due and ii
was only by a miracle that he managed
to unfasten himself in time to escape
death under the engines wheels.
Strangely enough the reformatory
authorities saw fit to parole him after
two years and he had been at liberty
! more than three years when he got
into trouble in Topeka. His offenses
here consisted in entering the Baptist
and Catholic churches finding a few
| cents in each place When arrested
Adams gave his name as John Smith
and tried hard to cover his previous
