wouldn't think she was twenty-five
now, would you? Well, she is, and she
can step some now. There's nothing
around here that can get away with
her on the road, though Of course she
has not the staying power she used to
have. I'd like colt from her, but
she's always been barren.
That's a Bon Ami colt there. Looks
good, doesn't it? A child could drive
the old mare. ] always liked a good
horse, and MIR. Chaplin gave me Darrell.
He knew I'd take good care Of her.
Would you believe it, she likes to be
on parade?
Eyes, | know, some people call me
the easy warden, but that does not
matter. Folks are not sent here TO be
murdered, are they? Not much. They
do as they are supposed to, and that is
all there is TO it. There isn't any IA
voritism here. They are used alike.
The one thing to make trouble in a
place like this is to play favorites.
Then you'll get it, sure. You ought to /;
il belongs 70 you.
"The table is good, yes, but not
fancy. There are plenty of fresh vege-
tables, well made stews and that sort
Of thing. II prisoner is sick or in
bad shape he'll get what a sick man
should get. It's all raised here The
old farm produces more than we can
use. Yes, ! am glad folks speak well
of it. But we haven't done so much.

Perhaps there is a hint there for
county commissions that may wish TO
have model jails.

which gushed forth from the rock be-
meath the feet Of the figure.
The statue, the work Of Daniel Ches-

spread and her arms stretched upward.
In her right hand she holds branch
Of pine. the ever green symbol of life.
In her left rests a bowl, from which

RULING TOMORROW
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, June 26.-In connec-
ton with the request Of Secretary
Garrison that Attorney General Greg
DRY prepare an opinion on the right
Of an army officer to resign from the
service in time OF peace, Section 1921
Of the Revised Statutes, which pro-
yides that a West Pointer must serve
eight years unless discharged, was
brought 10 the attention of the Attor-
ney General to-day.
Attorney General Gregory is expect
ed to place his formal opinion before
the Secretary of War Monday. This
opinion was asked by Secretary Gar
rison after the resignation Of several
officers from the Ordnance Corps TO
take highs laried positions with the
manufacturers of war munitions.
Section 1921 reads as follows:
Each cadet shall sign an agreement
with the consent OF his parents or
guardian, il be be minor and if any
he have, by which he shall engage to
serve eight years unless sooner dis
charged"
This law was enacted by Congress
April 29, 1872. Attorney General
Gregory has discovered a dozen court
decisions on the point at issue. The
question he is asked TO decide, how
ever, is whether the President is COM
PEELED TO accept the resignation Of an
officer Of the army after IL has once
been rendered.

way to New YORK, described conditions
in Mexico.
"The suffering in Mexico City is
terrible" ne said. 81 was there fort
night ago, and can never eface from
my memory those dreadful scenes.
Fancy a long, staggering line OF
gaunt, wolfsh- looking men, hollow
eyed. emaciated women and halt-nsked
children. the bones Of their wasted
bodies showing through their rags,
standing before the relief stations cry
ing for bread. Imagine the scavenger
dogs, ready 70 dispute ferociously with
man. woman or child any crust that
might fall to the pavement.
"One day a woman who looked like a
half-breed stood in line. Under a
shawl which was draped about her
skeletonlike head she held little girl.
She seemed unable 20 stand, and her
swaving body was supported by the
crowd. The crush about her lessened
and she toppled and fell TO the pave
rent, the child slipping from under the
shawl and moaning as II rolled across
the stones. Some Americans ran TO
pick the woman up-she was dead,
dead OF starvation.
That was only one OF many in
stances of women and children falling
in the streets of Mexico City and dy-
ing of starvation. IL is the same with
the animals; horses and dogs drop be

but Mr.. Slston said he had determined
not to leave under fire.
In the city streets double patrols
Of police were on duty, but there was
no sign Of disturbances. Few inaugu-
ration visitors remained in the city
tonight and the crowds were orderly.
At a luncheon given to-day in honor
Of the new Governor, the retiring Gov
ernor referred 10 the Frank case.
Honest people may disagree with
me. an honest man." ne said, "but we
realize that we must be measured by
our ronsciences. Two thousand years
ago another Governor washed his hands
of n case and turned a Jew over 70 n
mob. For two THOUSAND years that
Governors name has been accursed.
If to-day another Jew were lying in his
grave because I had failed to do my
duty, would all through life find his
blood on my hands, and would consider
myself an assassin through cowardice.'
No reference 10 the Frank case was
made by Governor Harris in his speech.
He expressed the hope, however, that
I'VE will have no more trouble"
During the inaugural ceremonies at
the Capitol there were several tense
moments. When Governor Slaton APP
preached the new Governor to deliver
the state seal few Kisses were heard
President Persons of the State Senate
warned the spectators that unless they
we're in order the galleries would be
cleared. Instantly there was tumult
Of applause.
Presenting the seal, Governor Slaton
said: Governor Harris, | know that
during my term Of Office this great seal
of state has not been dishonored."

CLAIM THEIR SHELLS
HAVE SUNK FRENCH WARSI1IP
Two Shore Batteries Silenced In Darda-
nelles Artillery Duel-French
Submarine Lost

in an attempt to run through the Dar-
danelles. is described by Rear Admiral
Guepratte of the French Dardanelles
fleet in an interview with the Daily
Telegraph Tenedos correspondent. The
attempt apparently was made some time
ago. although no announcement has been
made of it heretofore.
THE attempt had as it's object the
sinking of the Turkish cruiser Sultan
Selim formerly the German cruiser
miral Guepratte told him" The subma :
rine was submerged and successfully
navlgated the straits up to the corner r
where the Asatic coast juts out at
Niagara
Through some miscalculation which
is quite natural when a submarine is
trying to thread a tortuous channel
without the aid of Il periscope. the hull
struck the rocky shore. compelling the
boat to rise to the surface. Immediate
ly the submarine appeared the forts
opened fire, sinking her. Only few of
her crew escaped and these were made
prisoners.
Regarding the present situation in
the Dardanelles, Rear Admiral Cue
pratte said the waters of the straits
are clear as far Mephez Bernu, to
which point all vessels of the fleet can
safely navigate. The main mine fields.
however. are between Chanak Kalessi
and ki1id Bahr. where also are the
main coast defenses
When these are removed the rest
will he easy, although the assistance
of land forces will be needed. OF the
final success of the undertaking not a
shadow of doubt remains"
Mount Howitzers on Rails.
The Turks in the Dardanelles now
have hoWitzers mounted on rails, and
can concentrate them on menaced
points, says the Daily Telegraph S

entirely by Germans.

WAS WRONGFU[[Y SPENT
Minority Stockholders of New
Haven Company Sue for Principal
and Penalties.

BOSTON, March 19.-Arguments in the
suit of minority stockholders Of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
to recover for the company approximately
100000, 900, alleged to have been wrong
fully spent in the purchase Of railroad,
steamship and trolley enterprises, and in
addition double that amount In penalties,
were made before the full bench in the
supreme judicial court today.
The defendants were directors of the
road at some time during the period be-
tween 1904 and 1909, when the money is
alleged to have been wasted.
Alleged Plan for Monopoly.
The bill charges that about 1904
Messrs. William Rockefeller. Charles s.
Mellen. Charles F. Brooker, D. Newton
Barney. William Skinner, George C. McC
Miller and Robert w. Taft, acting in con-
cert with J. Pierpont Morgan, Edwin
Miner and l. de Yer Warner, conceived
and entered upon a plan to effect a
monopoly of all transportation companies
operating in New England and certain
parts of New York, and in acquiring such
properties paid large sums in excess of
the actual value.
For street railways. it is claimed.
S46,000,000 was wrongfully expended; !;
S16,0OO,000 was lost in steamship enter
prises, $22, 600, 900 on stock of the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad and S18,0OO,O
on the New York, Westchester and Bos-
ton railroad.
Contention of the Defense.
The prin .ipal contention OF the de-
PENDANTS is as to the right of minority
stockholders to bring bill of this
nature, their claim being that such a
bill could not be maintained even If
brought in the name of the corporation
itself.
The plaintiffs set forth that under the
Sherman law they are entitled to re-
cover for the road three times the
amount named in the suit, or 1906, ,O00,-
600.
