HARTFORD, KY, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY H. 1914

DeNoss committed a cold-blooded
murder, shooting his victim in the
back. He was sent up under the in
determinate law for from two to
twenty-one years and should have
served his full sentence.
Following the decision of Judge
Settle. the Court of Appeals was
compelled to release DeMoss or re-
verse itself. / have no criticism to
make of the court. There is no rem
edy for il except to repeal the indie
terminate sentence law, which
should be Immediately done by the
General Assembly.
Whether that action would affect
those now serving terms under the
indeterminate law is a question for
the courts to decide when it reaches
them
IF the decision in the DeMoss
case becomes effective at once it will
release between GOO and 200 men
from the two penitentiaries. and will
apply to every prisoner
sentenced under the indeterminate
law since June Is, 1910. These men
are guilty OF every crime in the cal
endar, and while many of them have
made exemplary prisoners and are
to parole. the great majority
of them should not be turned loose
on the community.
II can not say what action the
Prison Commission will take until
after we read the decision and con-
suit with Gov. McCreary and the At
tOrney General"

MARRIED SO FAST HE
FORGOT WIVES NAMES

New York, Feb. 9.-Lionel Law
renee. who had the distinction of
having been married eleven times,
is dead of apopleXy. Several of his
former wives attended his funeral,
after which he was buried in Ken
sngton, n. Y.
Lawrence, who had just turned
the half century mark. took his last
wife two years ago. The ten others
had been married to him and parted
from him in such rapid succession
he had forgotten some of their
names.
Lawrence, who was an actor and
stage manager of considerable note.
said after his marriage with Miss
Ernestine May Dorch, in 1912:
Il hope have rung down the cur
tain on positively the last appear
ance of Lionel Lawrence in matri-
mony.''
a few weeks later his wife called
on an attorney and tearfully asked
him to file suit for annulment.
She said she had married Lawrence
thinking he had been married only
once before.
Lawrence's matrimonial enter
prises began in 1881, when he mar
ried Miss Cummings. OF late
years he could never recall what her
first name was. Miss Cummings
divorced him and then he took
wives as fast as they could drop
him, until he had accumulated
eleven.

drove Anna Banner to seek a di-

and, so the wife testified, banner
would cook nothing but beans.
He would feed her beans for
breakfast, dinner and supper, and if
any We're left over, he'd warm 'em
up for the next day or else cook
fresh batch.

roof of the tunnel. 1t is possible
that this covering of earth may have
protected some of the bodies, but lit
tie hope is entertained for the re-
covery of any of them in view of the
evidence of the intense heat devel-
oped by the fire famed by the draft
through the narrow bore.
The wreckage near the north por-
tai is still burning fercely.
1t was near this portal that the
body of Juan Fernandez, rear brake
man and only survivor of the catas-
trophe, was found. He had strug-
gled to within 800 feet of the en-
trance when he succumbed.
He was found in sitting position
with a handkerchief tied about his
nose and mouth as protection
against the smoke and gas.
1t is believed that many of the
others on board the train made
the same effort as did Fernandez to

may be found strewn along the g.
900 feet of the tunnel. The tunnel
appears to be caving in along its en-
tire length, so the task of clearing
the debris is a tremendous one.
The scene at the mouth of the
tunnel to-day was piteous, many of
the women and children relatives of
the Mexicans who lost their lives i'm
the furnace having flocked there to
await tidings of the fate of their
loved ones. These, with tears in
their eyes. urged the rescuers to
make all possible haste and anxious
ly awaited news of the conditions
inside the tunnel.
The report that Maxine Castillo
was in command of the party that
held up the freight train and push
ed 1t into the tunnel, where it was
set on fire. appears to be confirmed
by information cleaned to-day from
local sources.
Castillo had with him only 10
men and two women. 1t is said he
did not stop the passenger train, but
that he and his men went over the
divide to watch the approach of the
train and see it dash into the tun-
mel, where the track was blocked by
the burning freight. The bandits
then disappeared.
The discoveries made by the res
cue party to-day indicate that the
passenger train dashed into the
freight with such force that the To-
was disabled and the crew
probably killed.
No attempt appeared to have been
made to back the passenger train
away after the collision.

He said he was convinced that, if no
unforeseen obstacles arise, the two
Governments will reach q mutually

PRAISE MOONLIGHT SCHOOLS
Conducted By This Educator
To Eradicate Illiteracy
FrOmSState.
HER CAMPAIGN A NOBLE WORK

Washington, Feb. THE House
Committee on Education to-day
wrote the name of Cora Wilson
Stewart, County School Superin-
tendent in Rowan county. KY. in
the list of great educators of the
| United States.
In report to the House the COM
mittee described the successful work
of Mrs. Stewart in graduating illit-
eracy from Rowan county in her ia
nous moonlight schools.
The report was in connection with
the Lever bill for a commission to
investigate illiteracy in the United
States and study methods for its
elimination. In reporting this bill
| favorably the committee described
the work of Mrs. Stewart in Rowan
county as the best example of the
possibilities of ending iliteracy.
In Rowan county, Kentucky"
said the report. the illiteracy
among grownup men in that county
has been reduced in three years
from more than 13 per cent. to
practically nothing. Mrs. Stewart
wrote the committee short time
ago that there were now only six
men and women in the county who
ut .,..t
The history of that achievement
is one of the most interesting and
hopeful chapters in the records of
educational progress in this country,
Mrs. Stewart, whose name deserves
an honorable place among American
educators. decided to make an eff
fort to abolish the stain of illiteracy.
She called her teachers together,
outlined her plan. and called for
volunteers. All the teachers of the
county responded. On Labor Day.
September 4. 1911, these teachers
visited the homes of the people
throughout the county, explained
the plan and announced that moon
light schools would be open the next
evening.
More than 1900 men and women.
from 10 to sc years old, were en-
rolled the first evening. Among
these were not only illiterate farm
ers and their illiterate wives, sons
and daughters, but also illiterate
merchants. illiterate ministers and
illiterate lumbermen.
After an extended description of
the technical method employed in
Rowan county the report concluded:
"Illiteracy is much more easy of
eradication than the hook worm.
The experiment in Kentucky show
ed that in most cases an adult can |
learn to read and write i'm one |
month. One man. 80 years old, af- |
ter four lessons, wrote the Superin- /
tendent "a legibe letter. Another
man. 30 years old, wrote legible
letter after seven nights. A woman,
10 years old, wrote a legible letter
after eight nights of study.
I'm most cases a few weeks at
tendance at the night schools was
sufficient to enable the adult pupils
o pass over the dark line of illitera-
" and into the class of literates.
This experiment conclusively shows
hat it is possible to bring help to
lliterate men and women even un-
Ter the most adverse circumstances.
THE proportion of the wholly IL
iterate adults among the population

COURT DECISION
AFFECTS MANY
COnvicts i'm the State PEN
itentiaries.
PAROLES DEEMED MANDATORY
For Prisoners When Mini.
mum Sentences Have
Been Completed.
DECISION CALLED CALAMITY"

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. Hum
dreds of convicts now confined in the
Frankfort Reformatory and the Ed
dyville penitentiary probably will be
given their freedom in the near flu
ture, as the result of decision
handed down by Judge Settle, for
the Court of Appeals, in which he
construed the indeterminate SEN
tence law, passed by the Legislature
in 1910, as meaning that convicts,
after serving their minimum SEN
fences, are eligible for immediate pa
role providing their conduct for the
prescribed period has been in accord
with the prison rules.
--- The decision came In the case Of
John DeMoss, of Covington, who was
sentenced to the penitentiary at Ed
dyville in 1910 on a charge of man
slaughter for term of from two to
twenty-one years. At the end of his
minimum term DeMoss asked for a
parole, which Gas refused by the
Board. He then entered suit, alleging
that the law provided that he was
eligible after having served the min
imum sentence. The case was
brought in the Franklin Circuit
Court, the judgment of which was
appealed to theCourt of Appeals and
to-day's decision afflrms that judg-
ment. in which DeMoss was granted
writ of mandamus compelling the
Board of Prison Commissioners to
release him.
At the Office of the Board II was
said that under Judge Settles con-
struction of the law there are 200
men in the Frankfort Reformatory
and about 100 at the Eddyville pen
itentiary who now are in a position
to file mandamus suits as DeMoss
did, and that there are nearly 400
other convicts in the two prisons
who will be eligible to parole within |
the next six months, making a total |
of almost 700 who may gain their
freedom at the expiration of their |
minimum sentences.
The court said in the opinion writ
ten by Judge Settle:
at is the manifest purpose of the |
indeterminate sentence law to
require every person convict
ed hereunder to undergo by
confinement and hard labor
in the penitentiary the mini
mum term prescribed by law and the
Judgment of conviction. to take away
from the Board of Prison Commits
sioners the arbitrary power to refuse
him parole. If applied for at the ex-
piration of the minimum period of
provided he has for
nine months next preceding the date
of his parole, conformed in his con-
duct to the rules and regulations
adopted by the Board for the govern
ment of prisoners.
''It was the intention of the Legis-
lature to place 1t within the power ,
Of the convict to earn. as a reward
for exemplary behavior. his release
