CUT Pen GOSSIP.
Senate Passes Bill Protecting Ex-
Prisoners from SANDER.

The paro1ed or discharged prisoner
is going to be protected in Kansas
from the SlanderOuS tongue of the
gossip and bIackmailer who has hith-
erto been free to carry tales about the
past record of any man who has been
an inmate of a state penal institution.
making it a cause of action and mis-
demeanor to maliciously circulate re-
ports relative to a released prisoners
record, the senate this morning helped
put on the statute books the proposed
law.
when a man has served his term
in prison he has discharged the obli-
cation of justice and to the public, y
declared Senator Malone. This bill
is intended to safeguard him from the
malicious tongue of SANDER and to
help him regain his lost position in
society. It is intended to prevent the
persecution of eX-priSonerS by black
mailers and it is the only srot of a
measure which will do the work.
Twelve senator's voted against it.

In the meantime the stranger who
had been given such Godspeed on his
way, had departed.
He came to grief in Kansas City,
however. There Chief Hammil held
a reception in his offices in the city
Jail in honor of a guest going by the
name of RolIin 3. Otis. A number of
very prominent Kansas City people
were callers. They all recognized
Otis as q person who had borrowed
small sums from them on the same
representations as were used by the
Topeka operator mutual friend
ships To a charge of trickery and
deception the man entered a plea of
guilty and was sentenced to serve four
years in prison.

compare notes on the manner in
which they were fleeced out of small
sums of money by a man who, while

8 But it was worth the money to be
victimized by this man for the fact
that he singled any particular person

as being socially prominent and cor

i About two months ago a man about
30 years old, who was everything

and addresses of persons living in To-

He then presented himself to the To-
peka people as a frienC of the Topeka
persons out-of-town acquaintance.
On the strength of this fictitious
mutual friendship, the man borrowed
money, giving one of several reasons
for being in temporary financial dis
tress. If the person he approached
was a man of sporty tendencies. the
excuse fer borrowing was poker

HOW NET AND GROSS
FIGURES OF TONNAGE
OF. SHIPS ARE Fixed

An interesting article telling how
gross and net tonnage OF steamers
are computed, was recently printed
in the London Standard. 1t says:
AT the. present time there are four
methods in use of expressing the tom
mage OF a ship, known respectively
as the gross tonnage, the net register
tonnage, the lieadweight tonnage and
the displacement tonnage.
I'm calculating the gross tonnage
the whole interior capacity of the ship
below the tonnage deck is found. in
GLIDING that of all covered spaces on
deck used for stowage, and the result
in cubic feet is divided by 100
The net register tonnage is the
gross tonnage minus all the spaces
used for the accommodati of the
crew and Instruments and the work
ing parts OF the ship. It is on the net
register tonnage that almost invaria-
bly, dues are paid.
The lightweight tonnage is the
measure OF the exact amount of cargo
that a ship can carry without sinking
too deep ilsthe water.
The displacement tonnage is the
space occupied by the ship in the wa-
ter. The amount of water displaced
by ship,is,. of course, equal in weight
to the ship and all its contains. AS
enc ton is, equal to 35 cubic feet OF
water, the displacement tonnage is
found by dividing the number of
cubic feet of water displaced by 35
when the ship is immersed up to its
draft or load line.
