Famous Warden of Sing Sing Prison Tells How the Plan Is
 Working

This is the first time have ever been taken on the level; the wardens trusted me, and am going to act on the square"
 Thomas Mott Osborne the newly ap- pointed warden of Sing Sing. at recent Columbia university meeting of the na- tional committee on prisons and prison labor, emphasized these words from one of the honor men in the Auburn road camp. During the summer MT. Osborne spent two weeks working with the men in this honor camp. and he assured the large gathering of the committee that he had never had more wholesome experience
 The Auburn camp is unique" he stated in that men were selected for this work who had long terms to serve so as to put the scheme to the severest test. Out of the 20 men at the camp. five were life- termers and none had less than two years to serve. One man had been 19 years Tn prison and had never seen an automo- olie Another, young Italian serving long term for burglary, had special reasons for attempting escape as he was innocent of the crime for which he was convicted his proof of innocence being that at the time when the burglary was committed for which he is serving time. he himself was committing another bur glary in house three blocks away"
 These prisoners were all held to the right MT. Orborne explained 'by the realization that they were the representa- lives of the other 400 Auburn prisoners. D The work done by these prisoners is about the best that has been done in the state, as will be testified to by the resi- dents of the district around Meridian, N. N., where the work of the camp was done. While It has given great satisfac ction to the county authorities
 You would realize the advantage to so- ciety of this method of handling prison CTS, he concluded, If you could see the result in the men themselves. Giving them healthy outdoor work helps to restore their moral tone and is undoubtedly a great help in the.improvement of their at titude toward society. The success in the work done by the prisoners of Dan nemora, Sing Sing and Auburn prisons points the way for outdoor work which ought to prevail in all our prisons"

For ' long years Delbert has worked for MT. Renne. But his job is no more A big motor van will carry De1bar, to the municipal farm near Leeds where he will be an unwilling guest for 20 days

attention to the matter, for 1t is cerainly a most unusual situation when a citizen of the United States is not free to travel in any section Of the country after he has provided himself with an identifi- cation number from his home state. The European countries. with different lam guages and different customs. have agreed upon an international plate of identity, and also an international triptyque re- lating to customs duties. For instance, a motorist of France. after having obtained a home number-which, incidentally. ai- lows him to operate car in any part of France-then obtains in his own coun- try an international plate, which is ac- ceptable in practically every other coun- try in Europe, and he can cross and recross international boundary lines with out any trouble whatever. Surely if Eu- ropean countries can agree in a matter of this sort, 1t does not seem reason able that the several states of the union and the capital district of the country should be unable to provide for free and uninterrupted roads travel. It is now generally recognized that state must provide sturdier road construction because of the multiplying of a faster and more economical road vehicle. With a logical plan of federal participation with the several states large percentage of high ways expense of an interstate character properly would be transferred to the na- tional government"

NUMBER OF PAUPERS
 IN BRITAIN DECREASED

London, January 4.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press )-The number of unemployed among the trades affected by the national insurance act. according to the latest report of the Board of Trade. is now considerably lower than at the corresponding time last year During Ia st August. the first month of the war. the percentage of those out of work doubled.
 Similarly statistics in regard to pauper- ism point to return to normal condi- tons. In the first week of the war, ap- pication for relief under the poor law increased by IF per cent. The payment or separation allowances to soldiers fam lilies and the boom in manufacturing war supplies have since co-operated to reduce distress until there are now fewer pau- pers shown in the statistical records for the country than in any year, excepting lSl3' Tn the history of the poor law In re- gard to London, the figures are declared to be still more encouraging.

CENSORS DELETE
 KINGS INTERVIEW

London, January 4-(Correspondence of The Associated Press. )--Kings as we'll as prime ministers, do not escape the vigil lant blue pencil of the British censors Early in the war a public address of Mir Asquith. the prime minister, was deleted before the Associated Press could get 1t on the cable. Now, even when the censors are less rigorous. the remarks of King Albert of Belgium have received similar attention.
 In an interview with King Albert at his headquarters in Flanders an Associated Press reporter quoted to his majesty a prediction published in certain quarters. that he might be back in Brussels in three months. The King replied. Not so soon. But some day I shall ride into Brussels at the head of my army
 One censor passed the royal remark for cabling to America, but when it was cabled back to London for publication in local paper, another censor modified tho Kings words so thero. was no aualifiea- ton as to time, as he evidently did not consider it wise for English readers to know that the King did not expect to be back fin his capital in three months. Yet the censors have human side. On Christmas eve one of The Associated Press men on the continent ended his night letter with the words. Merry Christmas to all censors." a. remarkable outburst of good will in tho part of q. man who for nearly five months had struggled with the censorship. The mea- sage reached the London office with tho additional words, "rhe same to you. Chief Censor"

BILLY CARL SON IN MAXWELL
 MAKES ANOTHER RECORD

worlds endurance record as established by Barney oldfield In a Maxwell racer at Corona on Thanksgiving Day
 Carlson in his Maxwell won second place in the race and a large purse. He was close second to Earl Cooper. in a Stutz, and was nosed out of first place by just about a minute. Carlson's time for the race was 4;41:4I, with an average speed of 65 miles per hour. which was considered very fast tims for the road. which Is common dirt road, five and three-quarter miles around, and has an elevation from sea level of about 2o00 feet The fastest time previously made on this road was 59 miles per hour.
 Bob Burman, Rickenbacher and Mc- Carthy in Peugeot cars fought stfr battle, but luck was against them and they were checked out of the race on account of trouble with their cars. Tom Alley in g. Dusenberg won third place and was some seven minutes behind Carlson. There were 19 of the worlds famous drivers and fastest cars entered. but during most of the race Cooper in his Stutz and Carlson In the Maxwell were running neck and neck. and dur ing the last part of the contest Carlson was gaining steadily on Cooper.
 Carlsons Maxwell was the only car in the race that did not stop at least twice during the contest-and many made more frequent stops at the pits. The course is known as the most dif- fioult and dangerous in America, nec- essitating the shifting of gears seven times. and using the brakes four times in each lap Carlson's car consumed 2i gallons of gasoline and three gallons of oil. and the motor ran cool and per fectly during the entire race.

Want Later Deer Season m fhn Nau varlx C,,r

From the New York Sun.
 Harrisburg. Pa.-Deer hunters and many men interested in hunting through out Pennsylvania will ask the next leg. islature to change the deer hunting sea. son from December 1 to 15 according to Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the state game commission.
 '"rhe season just closed has been very successful, but there have been people killed and the change in the law should be made on humanitarian grounds, if or no other" he said.
 After December 1 the leaves are al off the trees and the bird hunters have finished up their hunting" he continued With the leaves off there is less dan. ger of people being killed and tho num- Der of accidents will be greatly reduced Deer can be better tracked and as snow comes early in December in some guar. ters 1t will be better for hunting. I think that when we get the figures compiled and show the number of people killed or wounded by mistake the force of these arguments will be recoguized.'

Ancient Pathways of Comm.,c.

Aucient TatnWayS or Commerce
 From the Rochester Democrat and Cbrop.
 icle.
 A Writer In Harper's Magazine, treat
 Ing of Ancient Pathways of America n
 commerce. discusses the canals of tbe
 country most of which he declares arc
 disused or decadent. He makes nos.
 sible exception of the new barge canal
 the cost of which he places at SIPS. .0Oo. o0o'
 ne assumes that 1t will be ready for It's parges next summer, and he ventures
 the prediction that this fine new water
 way may possibly cause q return of com
 merce to the older method of transpor- tation."
 It IS, or course, possible that the liar
 per's Magazine writer is better informed regarding the progress of work on the
 barge canal than the people who are most interested in its construction. But If the officials responsible for the expen- allure of the liberal sums appropriated
 for the work expect to complete 1t in time for use for through traffic fin the summer of 1915. they have not taken the people who are paying for the Improvement fully into their confidence For there is work within the county of Monroe which cannot, under the most favorable con- ditions, be completed in time for the opening of navigation next spring. It is too late now to discuss seriously
 whether the enlargement of the present Erie canal by increasing its depth to Il and in some places 12 feet, will re-
 suit in a return of commerce to older
 means of transportation. That such a
 result Is the only hope in the situation goes without saying. and upon the full fillment of the predicted possibility will depend the judgment on the wisdom or the folly, as the case may be. of the undertaking.
 Broadly speaking. changes in methods of transportation do not usually take on the nature of recession. And respect for truth demands the admission that there is little probability that there will be a recession to stage coach transportation over the New York; Albany and Buffalo post road, even in view of tho improved roadbeds. For there must be taken into consideration she advent of . type of coach which muititplies the speed of the old-time horse-drawn vehicle.

FIRST EIGHT" WILL
 ENTER BIG AUTO RACE

An eight-cylinder racing car, the first of its kind, will be entered in the next Indianapolis 500-mile race, May 29, if the plans of Arthur Klein, Amer ica's youngest registered driver, go through as scheduled. The car is a King, of 270 cubic inches piston dis placement, and only 1750 pounds in weight It's estimated speed is over no miles an hour. A similar car the I2-cylinder Sunbeam of Jean Chas- ss gne, holds the worlds record of 1G7.95 miles an hour, so that with an experienced driver like Klein, who scored second and third in the Tacoma potlatch and Montamarathon contests respectively, the King may be expect ed to make an excellent showing.
