KNIGHT NIPS SCHEME BEFORE
LABORERS ARE SKINNED

R ]. Knight noticed a want ad in
the Daily News and then had A. B.
Wilcox arrested before many had an
swered it. Otherwise, says knight,
the News ad might have turned thou
sands of dollars into the pocket of
Wilcox.
In Thursdays News Wilcox put an
ad for carpenters, cement workers
and laborers.
Wilcox promised go cents an hour.
Knight went to Wilcox's room at the
Breslin hotel, SAL w. Madison st., and
had talk with him. His arrest fol-
lowed and he was fined $100 in Judge
Flanagan's court today for operating
an employment bureau without a IL
cense.
Knight says Wilcox told him he
lived at 344 Spruce ST., st. Louis, and
that he wanted the men for to build a
bridge on the Mobile & Ohio railroad.
st. Louis informed Knight there was
no such street address there. M. &
o. Passenger Agent Bolliver said
there was no such construction work.
The scheme of transient employ
ment agencies is to let want ads
bring applicants, said Knight. Then
they charge a fee for jobs that do
not exist and skip before the victims
get wise. If they make promises
enough they can get away with a
few thousand dollars in a few days.

The statement of 81 the warden was

lplanation of his neglect soon after It
was known that villalobo had not
been hanged. as

did you call on the county attor-
lhey?" asked Mr.. Christy.
Il notified him. replied the war
den. h.
"That is" said Mr.. Christy, you
notified him afterward that you had
not complied with the law"
Mr.. Sims repeated that In his EN-,
|barrassing position he had exercised
his best judgment. He added that
the man had been resentenced to die
on March 10, so that he would live
only a few days longer than If he had
been hanged on the date set.
Said Mr. Christy In conclusion:
[.FYou might hove notified the govern
or, or the county attorney. Then you
would have been less subject to criti-
cism. But you took the law into your
own hands and subjected yourself to
the charge of contempt of the court.
Your explanation does not satisfy me. %
Chairman Pinkley asked if any
other member of the committee de-
sired to question the warden and
when no reply had been made, he in
|quired If there were any other mat
tiers in connection with the prison
concerning which members desired in
formation.
Mr.. Christy said that so far as he
was concerned there were not. This
had been no personal matter with
him. He had heard only words of
praise for the general management of
the prison But later after the inter

'WARDN SIMS UNDER
. LIGHT OF INQUIRY .
House Public institution Committee
Las Week Asked Why Diego Villa
Iobo Was Not Hanged on January 8.

+ Anticipating the. movement of the
senate which had proposed joiht
resolution for an investigation of
Warden Robert Sims of the state pri-
son for his neglect to execute Diego
lVillalobo, who was sentenced to be
hanged on january 8. the house com
mittee on public institutions held an
OF the warden in the
house chamber last night. The joint
resolution of the, senate providing for
Ia committee composed OF two mem
beers of the senate and. three from
the house, was transmitted to the
house last week. 1t was expected that
action would be taken on ton Tues
day but no action was taken at all
but the standing committee investiga-
ton was decided upon.
The members Of the senate late in
the afternoon had not been informed
that an Investigation was to be held
and no member of that body was
present.
1t began at eight o'clock, Chairman
Pfnkley presiding. Several members
of the house not members of the COM
Emittee occupied the floor. There were
perhaps a dozen occupants Of the gal
llery. The warden was accompanied
Iby Governor Hunt. The investigation
was conducted by Representative
John Christy who read from the penal
code, the paragraph prescribing the
course of events when the sentence
of death has been pronounced. From
another he read the direction to the
warden in case he has reason to be-
heve the doomed man insane, in
which case he must notify the coun-
ty attorney. He read from other Sec
lions dwelling upon the word, must,
must, must which appears in all,
describing the duties of the warden.
Mr.. Christy then recfted that the
people on November last had de-
clared that they did not want capital
punishment abolished. Villalobo, he
said, had been sentenced by the court
to die on January Is and he is yet
alive. The warden was asked to state
why he had failed to carry out the
order of the court with respect to
this man.

NEW GAME BILL LIMITS

s.. i.

lower house of the state Legislature
to regulate hunting and fishing.
Under the terms of the bill the open
season for deer, bear and wild tur-
key win be from November 1 to 80,
and the bag limit one. For VIOLA
ton of this part of the bill fine of
not less than 800 and not, mroe than
$500 is provided.
The state is divided into a north
ern and southern zone, and the open
season In each zone is practically the
same.
Southern zone: Ducks, geese,
coots, rail and shore birds, open

to be hanged on March 10. will you
carry out the judgment of the court?.i
The answer was not entirely sre-
sponsive but the warden evidently did
not intend 1T to be evasive. Il will
perform my duty" said he, ''or / will
resign. can quit whenever I want
to-" $50
After the investigation, Chairman
Pinkley asked the warden regarding
the purchase of the prison farm which
he had recommended. Mr.. Sims said
If the state would purchase 1000 acres
adjacent ITO the prison, and it could
be bought now for less than it can a
year later. he believed the institu-
ton could be made self sustaining.
Only TWENTY-FIVE per cent cash would
be required to purchase It. The land
has the oldest water right in the ella
valley.
After some further questioning on
the subject of prison management in
reply to which the warden: stated that
the object of the management was to
make the convicts better morally and
physically. The committee adjourned
with the understanding that its re-
port would. be formulated today.
