Profits In Armament and Coal.
The Krupp trials in Germany show
to what lengths in bribery the great
armament firm at Essen, through its
directors and managers, went in order
to obtain contracts from the German
government. Indictments we're found
against the Krupp officers and agents,
largely in consequence of revelations
in the reichstag, by Liebknecht So
cial Democrat. They were charged
with bribng members Of the military
and naval establishment between 1908
and 1913 and the disclosures at the
trial proved their guilt. More than
this, however, these disclosures gave
publicity to the enormous profits de-
rived by the Krupp concern and
showed where the fines from the tax
payers pockets went. The result is
to strengthen the cause of the advo-

PARD0NED PRISONER
SLEEPS IN A CELL
His Home for Fifteen Years and
Is the Only One He
Knows.

Baltimore, Md.-Pardoned by Gov
ernor Goldsborough on December Il
last, Matthew Jones, a prisoner in the
Maryland penitentiary, refuses to
leave. Although he is given absolute
freedom about the institution and per-
mitted to go out when he chooses, he
always comes back. After serving Id
years on the inside of the big gray
walls he is lost to any employment
in the outside world.
He has visited practically every
moving picture show in the neighbor-
hood of the penitentiary. With his
own money-about S70--turned over
to him when his pardon was granted,
he is free to do what he chooses. But
the outside world seems uninviting.
He doesn't know what to do nor where
to go.
"I'll be back he always infogms
the authorities when he goes out for
his daily visits to the movies"
He is interested in the automobile,
which has been developed during his

incarceration. A hundred other things
are entirely new to him.
AT night he is free to let the rule3
Of the penitentiary go unobserved.
Though he may feel like retiring when
the hour comes, when all prisoners
are supposed to go to bed, Jones will
remain up until midnight simply to
experience the sensation of freedom.
He still does errands and serves as
trusty, a position he has occupied for
years. He is favorite with Warden
Leonard, his conduct having been
above reproach ever since the day,
Is years ago, when he came into the
penitentiary from Cumberland.
Jones was convicted Of murder in
the second degree. His home was in
Cumberland He went out on little
spree one night The next morning
he awoke In police station, unaware
of why he was being held. The police
informed him that he had killed his
most intimate friend.
Though he had been under the in.
fuence of liquor at the time, and
though the family of the man he
had killed endeavored to secure his
release, he was found guilty and an
1S-year sentence imposed. On good
behavior more than two years came
off his sentence. He would have had
another year to serve had not his
pardon come from the governor. The
prison authorities are wondering what
they will do if Jones insists upon stay
ing with them.

Winston Churchill, Great Britain's
first lord of the admiralty, an Office
corresponding to that Of secretary of
the navy held in President Wilson's
cabinet by the distinguished American
journalist, Josephus Daniels, fell, in
many high European quarters, on deaf
ears. Mr.. Churchill's words are worth
while quoting again and again, be-
cause, however apparently ineffective
they are for the moment, they mark
the beginning Of revolt among
statesmen against the enormous ex-
penditures for navy and army that is

Mr.. Churchill, "for naval holiday is
quite simple. Next year-apart from
the Canadian ships or their equivalent,
apart from anything that may be re-
quired by any development In the

four great ships to Germanys two.
Now we say to Germany: If you will
put off beginning to build your two
ships for IL months, we will put off
in absolute good faith the building of
our four ships for exactly the same
period" That would mean COM

The other day the H. Lieber COM

in the show window, had one that
attracted special attention. 1t was
large picture representing an immense
lioness and four cubs. Together with
the praise bestowed on this group,
there was some criticism. What

an elderly observer. anyone ought to
know that two cubs is the limit for
any lioness. This word picked up
by listener was taken into the pic

in the picture house were greatly dis.

uniforms on the roadways, in the
ships on the sea. And in order to give
himself war-fever, which keeps him
exhausted for other and better things,
the European patient taxes himself to
an almost incredible amount. He pays
his money for an irritant unto trouble

men and women and children suffer
for lack of opportunity to live.

sometimes as in Germany with impe-

interest and create q public opinion

BILE, 1t Is Said.

Brennan, Tex.-Miss Dorothy Book
er, charming young schoolmistress
of twenty years, has solved the prob
lem of having pupils in the rural dis
tricts attend school on time for the
morning roll call Miss Booker has
trained a pet parrot to call the roll.
Professor Tom, as he has been called
since he began his duties, is an inter-
csting bird to the pupils, and they all
arrive on time to hear him call their
names.
There is not pupil in the 1nde-
pendenCe school who could be made
to believe that Professor Tom does
not know them by sight as well as
by name.
Miss Booker, when she accepted the
school at Independence, near Bren-
ham, year ago, was bothered by the
pupils not arriving on time, especially
during the rainy season. She imme-
diately began to plan to overcome
this, but was unsuccessful for time.
Some months ago a trained parrot
was sent her by a friend who was
,
the parrot had been owned by Eng
lish.speaking people.
No sooner did the young schoolmis-
tress see the bird than she evolved
the idea of training it. At first she
did not have much success, but dill
gent efforts brought the reward.
When the process of training was
first under way the bird was allowed
10 sit upon q perch in the schoolroom
and listen to the teacher call the roll.
He was allowed to do this for two
weeks, and at first always was. re-
moved from the room Immediately
after the roll call. Soon he was try
ing to call the roll with the teacher,
and in a short time was able to do
so by himself, as he found his efforts
were always rewarded with cracker.
After the bird first had the roll
memorized it would persist in answer
ing the present or absent" after
the pupils, but was soon broken OF

Sheriff Tom Pulliam came down from Flagstaff the first of the week and took back with him Slade Mo Donald. who was wanted at that place on a felony charge. The arrest grew out of some lardenous transactions of Mac Donald. He represented himself as the agent of hotel register concern and after securing orders pocketed them and passed on to the next town, first having from the banks or business houses the face value of the orders, or practically so. Macdonald worked Klngman, Needles. Goldroad, Oatman, Flagstaff, Williams and many other places, securing several hundred dol lars. He is a rather slick individual. While in jail here he tried to get money from Los Angeles mau on representation that he was the owner of mining claim near the Tom Reed and that he was working the property, but needed some more money to carry on further development, offering an interest in the mine.
