Honor System. o..
woMAN's PURSE IS FOUND

JOLIET. Ill, June 24.--Finding
OF Mrs. Edmund NJ. Aliens pocket
book containing several hundred dol
lars and valuable jewelry caused the
penitentiary officials to abandon a
theory that robbery might have been
the motive for the murder Of the
prison vurden's wife last Sunday
morning. 1t was not learned until
today that the victims purse was
missing and a search for it was be-
gun with the result that the black
leather pccketbook was found among
the debris of the charred bedroom
where Mrs. Aliens body was discov-
cred.
Motives for Murder.
The penitentiary officials expressed
the opinion tonight that Mrs. Allen was
killed either for revenge or as the ie-
suit OF an assault.
An armed guard patrolled outside the
prison gates today for the first time IN
several years.
Warden Allen was deeply affected
when he received letter OF sympathy
from the LOO convicts in the peniten-
tiary. After reading the letter, Warden
Allen declared that he would not re
sign his position and that the honor sys-
tenn at the penitentisry would be con-
tinued:
My confidence In the boys has not
been shaken. They have stood BY me
and I'll stand by them
Convicts' Letter.
The letter. in part. follows:
AT this hour OF deepest grief, we send
YOU this message Of our love and sym
pathy.
Caesar had his Brutus; Rome its Nero
and Jesus, the Just. His Judas. yet the
remnants OF His disciples remained
steadfast and true. So. in spite Of the
dreadful blow that has fallen upon us,
must the work OF yourself and your wife
60 on.
1.-THE eyes OF the world are upon us
and we must succeed Come back to Us
and we will build together a real honor
system as a fitting memorial to your
dear departed wife. that will be more
lasting and enduring than marble OF
bronze We will build men In whom
honor IL not dead and viii not die.

Among these econ omies may be mentioned the re- moyal of hazard in dredging op- erations by systematic prospecting the reduction of overhead costs by the formation of larger companies that oDerate a number of dredgeS under the same superintendency' re- ductioR of fuel expenses by use of internal-combusuon engines burning crude oil, 8 mtre efficient use of steam in thawing frozen ground, and a closer attention to economy in the commissary department.
 In 1914 forty dredges, with an aggregate daily capacity of 42,OOO cubic yards, were In operation on Seward Peninsula, and employment was given to 1900 men for an average season of 100 days. The total production of the placers has an estimated value of $2,7OO,OOV'
