Kansas Cannot Take Care of
Women Prisoners.
Governments so Cents a Day
Won't Pay Expenses.
MAY SEND Them TO OHIO
Federal Prison at LeavenwOrth
Is Not Available.
Plan to Create an Insane Hos
pitaI at Lansing.

Disposition of the twenty-five wo-
men federal prisoners confined at the
Kansas state penitentiary at Lansing
is proving problem which apparently
is difficult for the federal authorities
to solve. because of the lack of facili-
ties for the care of women in any of
the federal prisons.
For a number of years, the state of
Kansas has been under contract with
the United States department of JUS
tice to care for certain women prison
ers, the state receiving sixty cents a
the state board of corrections decided
that it was not advisable to renew
the contract, holding that such prison
ers are undesirable, since the profit,
from their labors and the money re-
ceived from the government, barely
paid for their clothing and mainten-
ance.
Codding Issues Ultimatum.
AS a result, early this month J. K.
Codding, warden, was instructed to
write to the department requesting
it to remove the prisoners as soon as
possible and by January /, at least.
A letter, received in reply, said that
steps were being taken to comply with
the request and that arrangements
would have to be made to have the
women transferred to some other state
prison.
1t is pointed out that there is no
possibility of the women's ward at the
Leavenworth federal prison, which
now is planned, being completed for
several years and that it would take
several months to arrange temporary
quarters. As result, it has been
suggested that the contingent in Ian
sing may be removed to the Ohio state
prison at Columbus.
Turn Into Hospital.
The removal of the federal prison
ers, it is said, also was necessitated
because of arrangements which have
been made to turn the women'S ward
of the Kansas state penitentiary into
hospital for the criminal insane, the
old hospital having proven inadequate.
it is planned to house
these state women prisoners in the
prison farm house, to be used in the
fields and at gardening in mild wealth
err. Later. the board of directors, has
the legislature will be
asked to authorize their removal to
the state girls industrial school at
Beloit, to be kept in separate build
ings from the younger women.
The present law provides, however,
that they must be kept in the state
penitentiary.

Sixteen Days With Fleet.
The weather was stormy, the winds
high and the seas heavy, so the Ber-
wind, unable to discharge her cargo,
stayed sixteen days with the German
fleet. When the elements moderated
she discharged her provisions, forty
tons of all kinds Of foodstuff, and
much of her coal, to the Cap Trafal-
gar and the Eleanor Woermer.
On September 10, or Whereabouts,
three of the fleet sailed away, leaving
only the Pontas and the Cap Trafal-
gar, to which the Berwind was still
discharging her cargo. Before leav-
ing, however, the Eber gave up her
guns-two 4-inch rifles and six one
pounders-to the Cap Trafalgar. On
the morning of September Ii, 1914,
Captain Falkenburg testified, the Cap
Trafalgar and the Pontas were sur
prised by the British auxiliary cruiser

Serbian army of General Bokovitch is

hands with the French. But in order
that the battle shall end in anything
but sublime suicide the operation must
be carried out energetically and sue

prisoners denied they were members
of the attacking party today.
No trace of the five night riders
who are believed to have been wound
ed in the battle could be found today.
Two detectives were wounded, though
not seriously, in the fight.
A ninth man arrested yesterday in
the Maiden, Mo, Jail, today admitted
he was the owner of the hat bearing
his name which was found on the
scene of the battle. He said. however,
the night riders had compelled him to
act as their messenger against his
will.
Marshall Noteworthy of Clarkton
said the prisoners would all be
charged with attempted murder for
their alleged participation in the at
tack on the detectives. and, in addi-
ton, would be held for federal au-
thorities on charges of attempted
blackmail. if it were found that they
were responsible for any of the
threatening letters received by mer-
chants and land owners in this vicin-
ity.
The night riders. dissatisfied and
disguised farm laborers and tenants,
have committed numerous and various
crimes in the campaign for higher
wages, cheaper rentals and lower food
prices which they have been waging
for months.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT

Chicago, Nov. 24-WHEAT-Whea eased
off in price today as result of the fact
that cables were disappointing to the bulls.
Liverpool dispatches told of re-SellerS COM
peting and of larger arrivals, both native
and foreign. Besides the renewal of peace
gossip tended somewhat to favor the bear
side of the market. Opening quotations
here, which ranged from II &c to PC lower,
with December at S1.03ss to $1.03A, were
followed by a moderate further decline be-
fore a reaction began.
Afterward the losses were one time more
than overcome. owing largely to the
strength of corn. Upturns, however, fail
ed to hold, bearish sentiment being
emphasized by the lack of export demand.
The close was unsettled, a sc to &c net
lower, with December at S1.03A and May
$1.060I1. 061s.
CORN-Corn rose to new high record
prices for this years crop. Unsatisfactory
husking returns and prediction of unset
tied eather had a good deal to do with
the buying. After opening Nc off to a
shade advance. the market scored gains
all around, despite temporary setbacks in
sympathy with wheat.
On the bulge, profit-taking sales were
heavy. The market closed nervous at &c
