OSBORNE TO INTRODUCE
SING SING CURRENCY

Auburn, n. Y, Aug. 9.-Warden
Thomas Mott Osborne, of Sing Sing,
declined tonight to amplify the state
ment that a conspiracy 10 take trusty
convicts into a saloon near the pris-
on and photograph them in company
with women had been discovered by
his friends.
Mr.. Osborne was willing, however,
to speak Of his prison work, and de-
scribed a currency system which he
will introduce as a new development
of his general reform. Showing speci-
mems of the new coins, he said:
ave will adopt what is substantially
the monetary system of the George
Junior Republic. Coins made of brass
and aluminium anC. later. high denom-
nations of paper currency, Will be
paid TO .onvicts for their work, and
they will pay for food. clothing and
lodging. We have enough clothing and
groceries in the Mutual Welfare
League store TO guarantee the redemp-
ton of the coins now TO be issued. and
we will work out a scheme by which
we hope 10 redeem wholly or in part
their savings. so tina. they may aid
their families.
"a minimum wage will be paid. with
increasing pay up TO { maximum based
upon the duration OF time a man
sticks TO MS job and the way he does
his work. He will receive a fair wage.
which will provide AN incentive TO
make him Industrious. The ultimate
redemption plan will have 20 be worked
out"
Mr.. Osborne is proceeding in the be-
lief that he will De undisturbed at

reports that he ii TO be removed.

WRIT FOR OSBORNE
In KELLY FIGHT
Warden Ordered to Show Cause
for Foreman's Discharge or
Reinstate Him.

Further complications were added to
the troubles of Thomas Mott Osborne
yesterday when Justice Morschauser,
of the Supreme Court in White Plains,
issued a writ of mandamus calling
upon the Warden of Sing Sing to re-
instate Denis j. Kelly as foreman Of
the prison printshop or show cause for
the mans discharge within twenty
days.
When Kelly lost his job, the reason
given was general inefficiency. In an
affidavit which he presented before
Justice Morschauser, he denies this
charge and attacks Mr.. Osborne's the
cries as being weird, fantastical and
fine spun" He also says the Warden
is incompetent, inefficient and inca
pable of conducting the affairs of the
prison." and asserts that he was dis
charged because another man was
wanted more satisfactory TO said Os-
borne. personally, socially or politi-
cally."
Kelly also alleges that the officers of
the Mutual Welfare League are in SUI
preme authority in the workings of
the prison and that the convicts fear
them much more than they DO the
keepers.

Modern Warfare in Air

Three Joliet Honor Men
Flee Penitentiary Farm

Chicago. Aug. 9.-The Illinois honor
system for felons sways in the balance.
Down on the Joliet penitentiary honor
farm pledges are being ignored. Ihree
convicts stole away from the preserve
last night
stunted corn fields and isolated
thatches of wood between the prison
and Chicago without finding the tran
of the fugitives. Governor Dunno mas
suspended all guards who had any
thing to do with the farm.
The placing of additional guards has
not relieved the situation. The spirit
of restlessness and uncertainty, due
TO the departure of Warden Edmund M.
Allen. has not been Gained. Unless a
marked change is noted It IS believed
that the $50 convicts who swore they
would not try to escape will be re-
turned to the cells of the penitentiary.
Word was conveyed 10 the convlcts
Saturday that Mr.. Allen had resigned.
There were signs and regrets, but the
law of the penitentiary silence was
generally observed. However, officials
there felt the throb as the story of a
political feud pounded along the prison
grapevine
Last nlgnl on the lhl III n nan uONNi
honor men were talking in low, quiet
tones.
81 gave my word to Allen said one.
"I'm not going to pass up chance Ike
this now that the big fellows gone
That's nay sentiments" echoed an
other.
"Me, too" added third.
Dave Anderson, lifer and honor man,
had struck it. Warden Allen had taken
him, Chicago gangster, murderer, a
man who had escaped the gallows at
the eleventh hour through the yield
ing of Governor, and placed him on
his honor. Anderson had been there
seven years. He'd kept faith with Allen
not the state.
The others were {. f. Barlow, from
Bloomington, and Harry Patterson,
from Vandala. They lodged the wall
lights about the farm and made their
getaway Several hours later their es-
cape was discovered.
Since the reservation" was estab-
lished in February, 1914, only thirteen
convicts have escaped. Five have been
arrested and two others came back
voluntarily.
Eve couldn't double cross you, boss,
they said to Warden Allen.
Deputy Warden Ryan admits that he
does not expect the voluntary return of
the three fugitives.

HAYTI REBEL CHIEF
PROMISES PEACE
Bobo Disbands Army and Will
Run for President, Though
in DiSfavOr.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Aug. 9.-Hayti is now
pacifed, Rear Admiral Caperton's re-
ports indicate, and with General Tobo
quiet, it is expected that national
election can be held soon. Bobo has
promised 10 abide by the result of the
election. but has announced himself as
a candidate for President. While his
candidacy is repugnant to the admins
tration here, it is unlikely that any
protest will be made if he is elected IN
due course.
The revolutionist leader has formal
~ resigned as chief executive, DIS
missed his Cabinet and ordered all his
generals in the north 10 deposit their
arms with the American authorities at
Cape Haitien.
The 1856 disarmed soldiers who were
brought to Port-au-Prince from Cape
Havtien Sunday on the Hayuan gun
boat Nord Alexis have been sent 10
their homes. Each received zen
gourdes, the equivalent OF $500 on
promise Of good beha$S'. This money
il is assumed, was taken from the Gus
toms receipts.
The Navy Department announces
that the customs duties will be collected
for the benefit of the Haytian govern
ment and will be handed over as soon
as a stable government is established,
taking out only the legitimate ex-
penses of running the country IN the
interim.

on Thursday unless the defence opens
the way in its cross-exsmipation of the
warden. The compliments evidence
and that of his witnesses will be con
fined to the assault issue, but II ~
among the possibilities that questions
by McDonald's counsel will open the
door wide to the conspiracy charge.
II was indicated yesterday that Nc
Donald's defence will be denial that
he struck at Mr.. Osborne when the
warden was recovering the papers
taken from the prison. This is shown
by the efforts of brother of one OF
the keepers in the prison to get sigma
lures to a statement to the effect that
the signcrs were on the railroad plat
form at Ossining when the alleged as
sault took place and that Mcdonald
struck no blow.
Affairs were running smoothly in the
prison yesterday, with Deputy Warden
Charles II. johnson in charge. For the
first time in a generation Of convicts
not single cell had more than one
occupant. thanks to the recent trans
fers and the fact that at this season
the courts send few men to the prison:
Fred Weeks, District Attorney oil
Westchester County, went TO sing Slns
yesterday, where he proke open the
packages which contained the evidence
brought out in the grand jury 'ndict-
ment Of ex-Warden John s. Kennedy at
the time Of the investigation made by
James w. Osborne, Special Deputy AT
torney General, in 1912.
No official reason for removing the
dust from these documents was an
nounced or could be imagined, so II is
believed that the papers, which show
alleged wastages in various depart
ments of the prison under Kennedy
sway were brought to light for the
purpose of comparing the present ad-
ministration with that Of predecessor,
so that the present might pfohtt
through the comparison. Friends Of
Warden Thomas Mott Osborne feel that
the best argument in favor of the pres
emit warden is to compare his methods
with those of his predecessors.

Twelve Students Show How
to Rescue a Man by His
Hair, Ears or Nape of
the Neck.

Twelve girl pupils in the Columbia
summer classes gave a lifesaving
demonstration in the swimming pool at
Teachers College yesterday. They
showed ffty-seven ways of rescuing a
drowning man, and then some. &. I.
Holm, physical instructor at Columbia
University, was the man they saved.
He was no small proposition, for ne
weighs 1877 pounds. They saved him
by his hair, they saved him by his ears,
they saved him by his arms and his
legs and the back of his neck, and when
he turned fractions and tried to choke
his rescuers they got the strange hold
on his throat and toweG MIN TO the
rail, limp and gasping.
Most of the girls who showed their
skill Yesterday are Young Womens
Christian Association workers, VINO
have come TO iii themselves as teachers
in the Y. w. c. A. schools and gymna-
sums. None of them knew thing
about swimming when they came mere
six weeks ago. -,
Act yesterday was when Mr.. holm
showed numerous ways to SWIM ana
strokes to avoid in swimming, whlle
his twelve pupils, each in a sensible
bathing suit, made September morn
sort of picture to the mead OF the poor;
II is a large pool, 60 feet by 30, and 7
feet deep in parts, so there was plenty
If water for Mr.. Holm TO drown in
when the lifesaving act began. There
was a universal gasp when, selecting
Tho deenest end. he sank to the bottom
and STAYED there. All eyes were fixed
on Miss Muriel Rogers, dark-eyed
Young Naiad in a red cap, as she
plunged in after him.
81 will now be saved by my hair, one
of the best ways to save drowning
person. If there isn't enough hair you
CRASH the ears" Mr.. Holm announced
as he went down.
ooh, she'll have to take his cars

Rogers didn't. After moment OF sus-
nense she reappeared, with her myers
rlutcbing the lock on the top OF Mr..
Holm's head, and actually towed HIM 10
the rail by this slender hold.
Miss Helen Ware, a tall and agile
GIRL then saved Mr.. Holm. When he
tried to drag her TO the bottom she got
ber muscular arm around his neck and
cboknd him into submission. Others
wb =, saved him were Miss Marcella Cat
ling. who broke his grip on her wrists

One of the feats that looked hardest to

Laurence NJ. D. Mcclure, president of

Yesterday characterized as disgusting
the situation in which the Board of
Education and other city departments
find themselves in not being able TO

1.-THE Real Estate Board believes 1t Is
a matter of honor that the city should
nav the sums it has agreed TO pay to its
former employees who, when they re-
tired. trusted in the good faith Of the
city. In those instances where the PEN
sioner for years contributed 10 fund,
there exists the obligation Of contract
which. under no circumstances, should
be broken by the city"

One unexplained feature of the plan
to use women to discredit Mr.. Osborne

victs could be taken TO Braun's place
