Reavis Answers
: Claims of Service
: Made by Hitchcock

Pawnee City, Neb., Oct 3O.-(Spe-
/ cial. 1.-The largest and by far the
most enthusiastic audience greeted
Hon. c. F. Reavis, first district con-
. gresham, at the opera house Satur-
day night, that has gathered at any
place in Pawnee county during this
campaign.
Mr.. Reavis dwelt at length upon the
claims of Mr. Hitchcock that he, with
the aid of the democratic congress,
have succeeded in enacting into law
more real beneficial legislation for
the people than all the beneficial leg
islation passed in the previous twenty
years.
The speaker explained the fact that
Senator Norris of Nebraska intro
duced the bill into the senate provid-
ing for the income tax law, and that
the votes Of the republican congress
men successfully carried the measure
through; and that it was the -xepubli-
can senatorial and congressional votes
that placed the child labor law upon
the statute books the federal gov
eminent
The speaker in eloquent and touch
ing words pictured the conditions of
the warning powers as the basis upon
which our present material prosper
ity' is based, and asked his, friends,
Are you exceedingly proud of this
kind of prosperity"
Mr.. Reayis spoke of the fitness of
". L. Kennedy to represent the state
In the senate and of Hon. McMullen
to protect our interests in the state
senate. y

First Nebraska district clearly and

Startling Decrease Shown
in Crime in Colorado
Since Prohibition
OLD TIMERS ARE LEAVING
81 Prisoners Will Go Out to
Every Man Received and
Terms Are Shorter.
DENVER POST,
WEDNESDAY, OCT. Is, '16.

Canon City, Colo, Oct. 25.-So
marked has been the effect of pro-
hibition upon crime in Colorado that
by the first of the year, or soon after
that, one whole large wing Of the
state penitentiary will be closed for
lack of prisoners. Within one month
the prison will have barely three
fourths of its former number of oc-
cupants, and, from December l on
ward, when the terms of many of the
"old-timers" begin to expire, the in
stitution will empty at an unheard-
of rate.
fenced to the penitentiary during
the last six months-since prohibition
got its full stride-continue at the
same rate during the next six months,
the prison here will discharge about
thirty -seven men to every new pris-
oner taken in.
This morning the penitentiary had
only TOT prisoners, counting both
men and women. A year ago, before
prohibition went into effect, it's
average number of inmates was we'll
dDONc CUO-l uliHluB HedlCI VUO. buI-
ing the rest of this month, nine more
prisoners will leave the institution,
either on parole or through having
served out their full sentences. Next
month twenty others will depart.
That exodus, if no new arrivals were
booked, would reduce the prison ros-
ter to 678.
Moreover, the greater number of
prisoners received since prohibition
went into effect are sent there for
much shorter terms than formerly;
the class Of men is different, most of
the ."habitual criminals" having left
the state with the shutting down of
the saloons. The new "short-termers"
are paroled much sooner than the
former "long-termers," so the recent
prisoners will not stay at the pen.

HUNT MEN GET IN bAD AT
 THE STATE FAIR

That the Hunt and anti Hunt split In the democratic party is ever wid- ening and that appointees of the gov ernor are doing everything in their power to eliminate those democrats who are opposed to their patron saint has become more apparent this week.
 The latest outbreak appeared at the state fair About ten democrats who were employed for the week. as gate keepers and in various other official capacities. at a per diem of five dollars, were informed by the commission that their services were no longer wanted.
 In every case, the men who were let go had been opposed to the gov ernor in the late unpleasantness. That The action was going to be taken was rumored around the fair grounds on Monday, but it was never dreamed that such a wholesale dismissal would take place.
 The commission no. being residents of the county were not sure of just exactly who the 'reneeades" were, SO they enlisted the services oC a local democrat well versed in who's who in the Hunt fight. He went down the list of the employees. and ltl those who lad not supported the IVY NAi.bi Wtlt cut OH lle liSl. ana the name of Hunt man placed in ifs stead.

 Fair officials, after considerable de- lay succeeded in separating the two women and the verbal argument was ended. The police matron took pos session Of the little girl and the per manent possession of the child will un- doubtedly be fought out in the courts According to Mrs. Bruce she took the little girl at the age of three weeks. Since that time, she has fed, clothed and mothered her as though she were her own flesh and blood. At no time has Mrs. Earle offered to pay for the care of her daughter and at no time has she (Mrs. Bruce) expected pay. The mother has not been to visit her daughter on more than three or four occasions during this five-year period according to Mrs. Bruce. The latter has never taken steps to procure adop- tion papers, but stated that she planned doing so within the next few months.
 Mrs. Earle's statement, however, is a direct contradiction of the above She alleges that she merely left her daugh- ter in the ere of Mrs Bruce. She had on numerous occasions. she said, of fered Mrs Bruce money. but the latter had repeatedly refused the same.
 The second act of the tragedy was written in the justice court yesterday, when Mrs. c. A. Bruce signed a com plaint against Mrs. Jess Earl, charging her with assault. The case was sched- uled for hearing Friday morning, but

TWO IMPORTANT PUBLICATIONS

J
 The Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station will publish very soon, two inn portant publications. entitled: The Culture of Figs" by Prof l.. H. Law renee, and Cold Resist2nce of spine less Cacti" by Prof. T. C. Tn. Uphof.
 Prof Lawrence gives in his work very clearly how figs should be grown in the state of Arizona
 Prof. Uphoff describes his investlga- tions on the cold resistance Of splneless cacti and found out that opuntia cac- tillae is the only species recommend able for the southwest.
 Both bulletins are in press already from the beginning of August, which has never been as long with other pup lications. They are this year very slow. However the manuscripts were ready long time.
 Prof. Lawrence and Prof. uphof left the Arizona Experiment Station some time ago for very important reasons. Prof. Lawrence was one of the promi- nent hortculturists of the southwest and was very successful in his work Prof. Uphof had his principal training in Europe He graduated at the uni- versity of Amsterdam, and spent af- rewards. six years in various Euro pean countries studying botany. plant diseases and general horticulture. He also made very important investiga . tions on the root-rot fungus or tnls state. He discovered the cause and life history of the fungus, and would have been successful in working out some

WISDOM OF KING SOLOMON NEEDED

Wanted-A King Solomon to deter mine the legal percentage of a pretty, smiling five-y year-old babe. | And from present indications, it will take a modern Solomon to rightfully settle the dispute that first came to light at the state fair grounds yester- day afternoon.
 Mrs. r. F. Bruce of Glendale came to Phoenix Thursday afternoon to take in the fair She brought her little daughter with her. Mrs. Jesse Earle of Phoenix also decided to visit the fair grounds Thursday afternoon.
 After trudging around the fair grounds for sometime. Mrs. Bruce tired of carrying her daughter. so took her to the day nursery for care while she took in the sights"
 No sooner has she been lost to view, 1 however, than Mrs. Earle put in an ap- pearance at the nursery and claimed
 the child. The nurse of course refused to release the little girl until the other woman appeared.
 Mrs. Bruce reappeared at the nursery ' in a comparatively short time Mrs. i Earle was still on guard to see that i her adversary did not escape with the child Both claimed the girl and for a time. it was feared that the women
 would come to blows.
 i During the excitement hundreds of { fair visitors gathered in the vicinity of the nursery and a blockade to the grandstand entrance was soon effected ' Fair officers were summoned and an attempt was made to dispense with the gathering but little headway was made !

SCHOOLS WILL BE CHANGED
 SAYS HIGGINS

In few years the entire school sys- tenn will be reorganzed. declares County School Superintendent J. A. Higgins.
 MT. Higgins is of the opinion that the educational plant will be based on vocational work, that every boy and girl who attends the public schools of the United States will be prepared to earn his living when ne completes the prescribed courses to which he devoted his attention.
 The joint county teachers institute held it's third and last session Thurs day and during the three mornings given over to the discussion of school problems not a small part was occu- pied in talks on industrial work in the schools. MT. Higgins presided at the different sessions and, according to the chairman, the institute was the most successful and inspiring ever held. He said every one of the $50 who reg istered were enthusiastic over the gath ering and will renew their work after the brief recess thinking along broader lines.
 We were made to realize that there was something outside of the walls of the school" he said
 The new education" as he termed the vocational work, will not apply merely to the rural schools, which were under discussion. but the city schools as well. The knowledge of cube root and Latin is not to be treated with indifference. but more practical knowledge is more beneficial to the average girl and boy. The schools make the citizens of the future and we do not want them to be among the 'un- desirables.'

HUNDRED CASES ON
 GRAND JURY DOCKET
Killing of Mrs. Wilkes One of First Subjects Up for
 Investigation

There were approximately 100 cases ready for investigation on the docket when the grand jury convened yester- day morning following a recess of sew eral weeks. The sessions of the grand jury which began yesterday morning are the closing ones of the Septem Der term of the criminal court, and are quite possibly the final sessions of a grand jury of the county criminal court, to this court until the supreme court renders an opinion on it's status in conjunction with the provisions of the consolidated court bill.
 One of the principal matters to be investigated by the grand jury this week is the killing of Mrs Fred Wilkes, a clerk of the probate court, last Thursday night, while she was out walking with w. K. Wheelock. the chief ticket agent of the Terminal sta tion. MT. WheeloclS has already been cleared of all suspicion regarding the killing, through the confession of Ber tha Ridgeway, a 17-year- negro girl, who has admitted that she fired a shot at "a noise," thinking that she was shooting at Eph Morgan, negro, who had slapped her face few minutes before. The killing of Mrs. Wilkes, the arrest of MT. Wheelock and the subse- quent chain of evidence that apparent ly pointed to his guilt, and the con- fession of the negro girl formed one of the most amazing criminal denoue- ments in the history of crime investi- gations of Jefferson county. Tomorrow, it is understood that the grand jury will investigate the entire affair.

THINKS BOWIE IS THE MAN ID MAKE NEXT RACE FOR GOVERNOR
T. M. Jones of Decatur Tells Why He FavOrs the Bir- mingham Man for
 the Place
By CLARENCE G. THOMPSON

Decatur, December ll.-(SpeclaL) "Sydney J. Bowie should run for gov ernor."
 Those are the exact words with which T. M. Jones of Decatur, one of north Alabama's most influential finan- ciers expressed his opinion few days ago. This expression came as a sequel to a hotel lobby in The Age-Herald of & few days ago, in which George B. Ward expressed the opinion that Mir Bowie was the man.
 MT. Jones stated that MT Bowie was one of the best men in the state for the place and that if he could be fn- duced to accept the honor, he would be one of his warmest supporters. No ob- jections to any of the probable can didates were made by MT. Jones. He simply thought MT. Bowie was the man who should be the next governor of Alabama, and he made free in say ing so.
 Tn MT. Bowie we have a man who is broad minded enough to guide the des- tiny of the ship of state to the good or all sections and factions. No other man in my opinion could so well avoid the issues that seem DOuLu lO SPLlAA5 NP in the next race. These issues, as l see it, are useless. Then, in the event the issues do come, MT. Bowie's plat form is always known.
 There probably is no other man in the state who is found as near on the right side of every question as Mir Bowie He has convictions, makes his stand and fights like a man against any opposition that he may face. l believe he would make a good state eX- ecutive, and I for one am in favor or urging him to make the race"
 So far as known MT. Bowie has not intimated any desire to make the race for chief executive. Having one of the best law practices in Birmingham, MT Bowie appears content without poliu- cal aspirations, more than what he has already had. However, his friends throughout the state have been keep ing their eyes turned in his direction with considerable interest, and they are letting no opportunity slip to put in a good word for him. In north Ala bama he is strong. This section of the state is in wonderful era of develop ment and they are looking for man who is for development. They remem-
